Editor’s Note: In my rounds I tend to come across many blogs that offer up gems that can help us all do better int he quest of becoming a modern gentleman. Diggame of “From Ashy to Classy” is a man on the same quest who shared his series The Marcus Graham Chronicles on another site and I asked him to bring it here, to the Hall so that you too can enjoy it. Please check out his blog “From Ashy to Classy” and his wonderful opinion articles on black dating and beyond.This is a truncated version of the original which you can read HERE. The Marcus Graham Chronicles is my personal journey of dealing with love and relationships. It is called the Marcus Graham Chronicles because of my affinity for the movie “Boomerang” and how the main character of Marcus Graham relates to me as the “black professional” man. You can check out earlier posts… [Read more]

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 people out is beyond annoying to me. Draining the Blackberry battery to jam Pandora radio on the bus, again on a high volume is annoying to me. It’s annoying because I would love to be able to have options, like reading, remember reading? You’re probably saying to yourself, well why don’t you just read and tune them… [Read more]

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 aggressively and I lack patience for people who drive slowly, those who seem to be lost and the idiots who pull out from driveways blindly. Oft times being a Sci-Fi head, I wish I had some oil slick or a flame thrower a la Mad Max,… [Read more]

Go to any image section that allows comments (as you have noticed The Hall of The Black Dragon no longer allows commenting on our galleries) and you will find random, anonymous haters spewing their vitriol on the subject’s body. We get it anonymous woman, you don’t look, nor will ever look, anything like the person in the picture so to make yourself feel better you rage post. It’s as clockwork as the assholes who jump on a blog to use the “I’m just playing devil’s advocate” argument whenever they see too many compliments, is it trolling? I’m not sure if it is, but being that you are pretty anonymous online and tend to rifle off the most jacked up drivel, most of which you would never say to people in person, I’m gonna say it is. What I do know for sure though is that it’s the norm for women to hate on each other… [Read more]

So what is the future of fighting games? Street Fighter 4 has jump started the genre by bringing back veterans of the old series and attracting new blood to the competition. With the next installment being released soon, the upsurge can only continue to build until like it’s predecessors it dies down until the 5th sequel. But it worries me that only a few games are viable as true winners in the fighting game genre. Offhand I think Street Fighter, Tekken and Soul Calibur when people ask “which fighting games should I be playing?” Sure you hobbyist gamers will jump on the new Guilty Gear clone or SNK niche title but is it worth it when you log into the network and find only 5 French guys qeued up to challenge you? (Cough KoF 12). When Marvel vs Capcom 2 was anounced, the nostalgia and positive memories of a huge roster combining our favorite Capcom… [Read more]

As you know, I am a big backer for online dating. In this cyber age of 9 to 5 jobs, side hustles and responsibilities, it gets tough for a single guy to break routine and go fishing for booty. And who do you have pushing you to date? Your married friends (who probably got hitched young thus having zero experience in the dating field), your hen pecking mom and probably a nosy co-worker or two. Maybe you just got lonely, you start realizing that you are constantly the 5th wheel when you hangout with friends and it begins to bother you. So you try the traditional means, you hit up a loud, nasty club/bar where some drunk, loser chick either ends up wasting your time or giving you her number – or the ass if she likes  you enough (don’t you love how I say this like it’s easy). If the club fails you could… [Read more]

I will preface this by saying that voting is important (if you truly believe in it) and our system of Democracy is one that has been built through much blood, sweat and tears throughout history. So I do not mean to cast a shadow on our political system. No just the assholes who aren’t running for office but will not shut up about it even after elections are finished. We all have “that friend”, you know the guy… yes him, the one who you want to punch in the mouth as soon as he starts his tirade about an elected official. Political Blowhard Guy can be found on your MySpace, Twitter or Facebook friends list. If you are like me you probably have his comments hidden or have kicked him from the friends list already. Get two of these guys together and you have an instant party… no pun intended. Is there anything more tired… [Read more]

I remember going back and forth on an argument with a friend about why you shouldn’t send food back at a restaurant. I mean hell, until they have droids doing the cooking and serving, you are at the mercy of human nature… and when human nature and anger comes into play, well you get boogers, cum, poop and dirt to deal with on your shrimp scampi. Today I stumbled upon this gem of a video on YouTUBE. It features Kristy Lynn Hammonds and her homosexual co-worker. Aside from goofing off at work and braggin about slacking off, they show us why pizza not only makes you fat but can make you sick too. (Since video below was pulled. You can watch it here. ) After the video was posted, within 2 hours Dominos canned the two assholes and issued a statement… but is that enough?  I mean these two crusaders have helped my cause by… [Read more]
