Beyond Bullies and Getting Good Grades
“The things we forgot about being different in the Public School system.” My friend’s young daughter has had issues with school, she is smart as a whip and extremely polite so as you can expect academics aren’t the issue. Although she is 22 years younger than myself I can understand what she’s going through. Blame this on me being an enormous 6 foot child mentally or the fact that my childhood memories are still pretty keen. Either way, the aspect of “fitting in” is starting to really grate on...

Uncle Charles aka Charley Hustle
You know, it is very common for men of my generation to view their fathers as strangers. I mean being a bastard is a common thing for us 70’s babies, isn’t that crazy? Growing up with an attractive single mother has landed me in many fights with disrespectful peers, and has shown me the difference between a man and a bitch-made dude. Momma had a few of the latter and my brother and I watched and learned throughout the years how to look into a man’s soul and see his worth. I don’t take sides in the custodial battle... [Read more]
Loud and Obnoxious a Traveler’s Observation
Ever feel like skull dragging and then gorilla stomping the hell out of people for being inconsiderate and stupid? This is a feeling that emerges whenever I ride the train, bus or cheap airplane. Do you know why you never see really wealthy people, celebrities and business moguls on your large commutes? It’s because of this attitude for the common man, the common man is a loud, ignorant jackass who rarely knows when to shut the hell up or use his inside voice. Being forced to wear ear buds with Ghostface Killah on a high volume to drown... [Read more]
Road Rage – Mustangs, Beamers and The Benz
Do you find yourself discriminating against another driver based on the vehicle that he/she is driving? well I realized that I do and this is due to the habits of more than a few individuals who drive a particular make and model of car. Now I know that dicks come in all shapes and sizes, and that a dick in a Beamer is just as much a dick as he was when he was driving a Corolla but when you come across five Beamers and they all drive like assholes, you are going to anticipate the next one and act according. Now I am a road bully, I drive... [Read more]
State of The Hall – 2010
Ever felt like Atlas the Titan bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders? Sure you have, we’ve all been there at one point or another. Last year was probably one of the worst years any of us will ever experience in terms of large-scale issues (not those standard personal ones) and for me it was no different. The Hall of The Black Dragon was one of the only positives going for me in 2009 since business yielded more than a few unpaid invoices and an occasional rip-off artist here and there. The money flowed south but I found my... [Read more]
Fine versus Sexy – Who do you love?
As I get older and arguably wiser, I begin to notice certain things about the English language and the misunderstanding of simple concepts by its users. Being an admirer of the female body and being around fellow admirers who talk, I sometimes notice that a lot of guys don’t get it when the word “sexy” is used. We all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but so is the aspect of sexy, the term is purely subjective. What is sexy for me should have a lot of supporters but I shouldn’t be surprised when someone disagrees... [Read more]
Chivalry died ages ago, where have you been?
Have you ever opened a door for someone, or held it open out of courtesy only to be scoffed at or unappreciated for doing so? Chances are after a few times of experiencing this within a given area, you will stop doing it and conform to the ways of the people around you. If you are the type who doesn’t look for a “thank you” or a smile in return for your graciousness then more power to you, you are a rarity. For most people however, a show of courtesy deserves a show of gratitude in return. Think about it, when someone opens a door... [Read more]
The difference between a Thug and a Gangster
I’ve been meaning to write this article for some time but held off on it due to my not wanting to step on toes etc. I have a married friend who has not spent any time in prison, has a beautiful family and has no street gang or organized crime affiliation. Yet without hesitation I can say he is the most “gangster” individual I know. How is this? Well the term originated with organized crime, it was something that outsiders would call the wiseguys and the clubs of fellas that were doing their gang thing on the streets... [Read more]
Relationships don’t have to be fattening
Lets face it folks, when you find someone to love, you tend to get a lot of good out of it but there are some bad things that can come into the mix. One of the bad things about the relationships is you tend to fall within an unhealthy comfort zone. The extra time which was spent in the gym or Club (building the sexy body needed to attract the next person) is replaced with eating out in restaurants, ordering in and watching television on the couch. Pretty soon into the relationship you cease to look like an athlete and begin to look like... [Read more]
