Standing on the threshold of 2014, one of my new year's resolutions is to keep in mind what a big joke life is and to, therefore, appreciate what good medicine laughter is. The list below, pilfered from FaceBook, cracked me up, because I relate to it. And it was such great relief from all of the platitudes and religious testimonies that saturate this site.

I grew up in a building that looked very much like the one shown in this animation. I clearly recall reasoning that Santa was fiction based upon the fact that we had no fire place from Santa to descend. The projects, however, actually do have chimneys. When I was a kid we would dump our trash down a chute where it was periodically incinerated and the noxious smoke was released through a chimney. Today they use compactors and God know where the smushed-up rubbish goes from there. I recall trying to explain my reasoning to another kid, in an attempt to dispel the myth of Kris Kringle. The kid simply would not believe me. Many years later, I heard the kid we…

Yes it is Monster Porn (no I'm not making this up). Cum For Bigfoot It began in December of 2011. A stay-at-home mother from Parker, Colo., Wade had no ambition to be a published author and no real writing experience other than a few attempts at historical romance in the mid-90s. But then, she says, "I got this crazy idea for a story." So she sat down and wrote the entire book — more of a novella, at just 12,000 words — in a matter of weeks. She never even considered trying to sell it to a mainstream publisher. Instead, she went directly to Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing, an online platform for self-publishing with a 70% royalty rate for authors. (The a…

Technology and Falling Literacy Rates Are Writing an End to Black-Owned Bookstores by Frederick H. Lowe The number of African-American-owned bookstores has dropped significantly since the late 1970s and 1980s due to a variety of factors, including corporate control of the Internet, waning literacy and fiscal mismanagement. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than 1,000 black-owned bookstores were in business in the United States. Now only slightly more than 100, possibly 116 to 117, if that many, remain open, according to Troy Johnson, founder of the African American Literature Book Club (AALBC.com), which is based in New York. Read the whole article I'm gla…

I guess I find it funny because it just epitomizes the absurdity of "high" fashion. But on a more practical matter these super high heeled shoes are simply bad for you. How many women have I seen, often overweight who have to pack a pair a flat shoes to wear home after attending an event in 5 inch heals... I'm glad men have no pressure to wear shoes that are just bad for your feet. The days of hammer toes from wearing pointy shoes are long gone. We don't have to worry about processing our hair, painting our faces, or showing up to an event wearing the same suit.

Kanye West is a magnet for controversy. Love him or hate him, he bears watching because he epitomizes the excess and egoism that genius and success can give rise to. Here's a link to an article entitled: "Kanye's Frantz Fanon complex". I thought this article by Jessica Ann Mitchell was interesting. "I recently wrote an article called, “Harry Belafonte Was Right About Jay-Z.” The article went viral, generating a huge response from the Black community and beyond. A few readers were puzzled when I stated, “Kanye West…often laments about racism but strives to uphold the same materialistic values that help drive economic disparities.” Now, I will explore this more…

Well, it's the last month of the year 2013 as we trudge through the darkness on our way to the end of the winter solstice that will occur December 21st. Getting past that, we begin a new journey toward the light which will reward us with the longest day of the year on June 21st, 2014. If you check out the night sky you'll probably see Venus, the "evening star" blazing extra bright as it does every year at this time when it's closest to our planet, reminding us of how predictable astronomy is. So, there does seem to be order to the universe. But the planet earth didn't get the memo. Everything here seems to be in a random state of flux thanks to a world-wide blitz of …

The question that resonated throughout the country on this day is what were you doing on November 22, l963, when you got the news that President John F Kennedy was assassinated? I was 30 years old at the time, married with 3 kids, ages 5, 3, and 8 months and around noon of that day I was just kinda rambling around the house. My two oldest children were seated on the floor in front of our 24 inch black and white TV, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwichs while watching Bozo's Circus, a local kitty show. Still stewing over what I considered a case of racial bias after I was rejected for a part time job in the office of an envelope factory located in the …

I have to wonder when he set his sites on the presidency, if Barack Hussein Obama ever envisioned what lie ahead for him. Did he have any idea how, once elected, his "audacity of hope" would eventully descend into an "abyss of hell"? Certainly he knew that a victory would mean inheriting the dregs of his do-nothing predecessor, and it’s a given that there’s no way to prepare for the job of being the most powerful man on earth. But you’d think that realizing this, Obama would’ve kept in mind the importance of designating authority to people he could depend on. One year into his second term, the survivor of a lackluster first term, Obama is presently mired in the dee…

All those apoplectic ministers and their flocks who give so much weight to bible verses that support their opposition to things like the legalization of same-sex marriage are nothing more than "Cafeteria Christians". They pick and choose from a menu of caveats, ignoring anything that doesn't support their self-righteous beliefs.

I was doing some research for a page for Rebecca Walker. Of course, given the was Google search works today Wikipedia comes up on the 1st page of results. Of course I look at the page. The Huria Search Results for Rebecca Walker, are worth looking at, in comparison to a regular search. For example, I found an article in Ebony Magazine that would have been undiscoverable in a regular search. At any rate, I read the Wikipedia citations and learned the following about Rebecca Walker under the category of "Personal Life": Walker is bisexual and previously had a relationship with neo-soul musician Meshell Ndegeocello, whose son she helped raise.

I generally try to stay in shape, and go to health clubs like Ballys or LA Fitness as the weather turns cold, and outdoor activity is less appealing. All of these clubs have large rooms where group classes are given, usually some newfangled version of aerobics requiring multicolored weights, rubber bands, giants balls, adjustable platforms, hula-hoops and what have you. I never take these classes but I'm usually start my workout by stretching out nearby. I actually used to teach aerobics, almost 30 years ago, and the only thing that is the same is the use of music. Music sets the tone; it can get you fired up or it can calm you down. It also helps keep rhythm and helpe…

This is the continuation of a that got a little muddled by a couple of guys going back and forth without making much progress :-) Does anyone thing there are ideas or beliefs rather that are believed, or at least adhered to by so many people that those ideas are considered "universal"? Now "universal" is an absolute term and nothing I can think of is absolute. This is one of the reasons I'm careful about using the word never or always. If I use the word "never," I'm exaggerating. Otherwise I'll say something like, "exceedingly rare" or highly unlikely. Sometimes things that may have been "universal" in western culture in the past can, over time chang…

I've been watching the media coverage of the SUV driver vs Bikers incident and it seems that the media is going out of their way to make sure the public knows that the bikers were Black and Afro-Latino. First of all, I don't understand why in a society where people are PRESUMED innocent before being proven guilty in a court of law....why the media is allowed to post people's faces and names on television, in news papers, and on the computer even before they've offcially been charged and tried. It certainly is unethical but it should be illegal. But there have been hundreds of instances of road-rage in America and I'm sure dozens have happened since this one..... …
