Juicy Fruit or Winterfresh




MMMkay sooooooo I have this little theory. I am a freshman in the Atlanta University Center and the ratio from dudes to females is 1:17...a m a z i n g...Im a naturally flirty guy and usually win girls over with my charm...so game is so pointless to me. Contradicting myself, yesterday I decided to see if I still had it. So I approached a girl and asked her if she'd prefer Juicyfruit or Winterfresh?

She giggled and responded "Winterfresh.....why?"

I told her becuase I can tell if she's sweet enough to keep me interested for a small amount of time or if she's mentally stimulating enough to keep me biting at what she has to offer, with hopes to get refreshed everytime.

[She started blushing]

In my head I was like {YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH BBBBBOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!]...but i kept my cool and got those significant numbers. =D

. . . . .But I wonder...can you really tell something about a persons personality through the food threy prefer...let alone candy or gum?? lol its a silly thought...but I think its worth a study. So let me ask you Juicy Fruit or Winterfresh? =P

Aromatherapy


Every time I take a test , I MUST HAVE A PEPPERMINT!! I never knew what it was...but recently I decided to do a bit of research on it. Your sense of smell and taste are closely associated. Peppermints stimulate both of those senses effectively. They keep you alert, awake, and alive! . . . not to mention they make your breath smell new again. =D....According to this site perppermints are good for confusion along with other ingredients. It list a butt load of other things that stimulate different emotions. Aromatherapy is cool.....

"Violence is the language of the inarticulate"


Last Friday was the first official session of my English class. My professor is rather insightful. While lecturing, he started to ramble about how men in most cases cant express themselves. If they can, most times they dont think they are doing so while maintaining their masculinity. This makes them not use their voice alot of times with fear of being stereotyped to a sexual preference that isnt conventionally accepted. He then went on to say that now-a-days it seems like "Violence is the language of the inarticulate".....wow right?....In a society where "Bitch" is the common word to addressing a female and "Dawg" (derived from jail also, reffering to the position a male is in when he is "owned by another inmate) and "Nigga" is the common way to addressing a male, I think the least we can do is become effectively loquacious. Its sad when we say "hell yeah" all the time instaed of saying "I agree". Its sad when you have to repetively use "Um" and "like" when explaining yourselves....I think we need to step up. Communication is key for a lot of things but violence, ignorance, and even inarticulation doesnt solve a thing. Lets step it up guys.

Morehouse '13.....an experience like no other.

Today was the first day of class but I am sitting here reminiscing on such a wonderful experience the New Student Orientation was. It was amazing! HEre is a link to my photo album of the experience and a politically poignant discussion me and a couple of my brothers had one night at 4:57 am.



The American Dream is a hallucination...


Well today was the first day of classes and I just got out of my first class, Intro to Sociology, earlier today. She gave us our syllabus and told us what reading requirements we had and papers and ish. Me being the productive being that I am, thought I ought to get a head start on my reading agendas. In doing so I headed for "Google Books" and found the first reading requirement; Ain't No Making It by Jay Macleod.

It was only a preview so I only read a few pages without some pages being removed for the sake of the financial well-being of the book. Mr. Macleod talked about how he attended college in a northeastern city and worked very closely with young males in a nearby project homes to empower them and challenge them to reach success. He was saying how there is a vast discrepancy between the culture on his campus to the culture in those projects. He went from very nice buildings with African Americans carrying briefcases with suits on to obviously financially conservative buildings with women in their night gowns carrying duffel bags of dirty laundry. In this community he found Freddie Pinella, an intelligent but encompassing a mind saturated with despair having young man, with no hopes to go to college and make a nice living in a middle class society. Instead he shot for the construction sites, factories, armed forces, and even the inevitable, professional football player.

Jay Macleod went on to discuss how this is opposed to the "American Dream" that Presidents, Hollywood faces and and activist hold out for the American people to capture. He was saying that there isn't equal opportunity so American Dream isn't as "genuine" as proposed. People are indubitably born into different situations and thus have a lot of different challenges, mindsets, and opportunities to seize and overcome. He hit me hard when he said that the "...the American Dream, is far from a genuine prospect,it is not even a dream. Its a hallucination."

. . . .need I say more? If I got all this out of 3 pages, I can only imagine what the book is gonna propose.

P.S. I love my class

Good times wit Good Dudes...

There comes a time when you have to say good bye. Whether its easy or hard, painful or efffortles, good byes make you reminisce on all the good times you and a person has shared. With me and my boys separated and matriculated....I miss my boys...dearly.


Akil, the epigrammatical jokester, The Triple Jumper


Joe, the seemingly no content of common sense high GPA possesser, Football and Basketball Starter


Breezy, The all star football player, the friendly bully


Kaylen, The track star that gives two fucks and a hell yeah about how you percieve him


All yall man...Imma miss yall boys. And this is not a good bye....Its a See you later.....holla at yall christmas time fam!




Fatherhood....what a beauty



A couple weekends ago I attended the best sale in the world. Wish's Warehouse sale. They had shoes usually priced for $100-$150, in the range of $20-$40. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-!....But while in the line, I noticed something a little more heart warming. A baby daddy...being a father. That warms my heart to see that there are men out there willing to raise their children. Our society is moral hemorrage becuase of the lack of parenthood in my generation. Seeing this gives me hope....Hope that "change will come"....Its a beauty to be a father, dont waste your opportunity fellas.


Check out this line!! this is crazy!!...luckily im small so I seeped my way through there, the day before this one.

Want a Bangin Butt?


MY family is full of females I mean FULL. Besides my younger brother, younger cousins (3) and uncles (3), we have 57+ women to deal with all the time. At family get-to-gethers, a constant topic I hear is...Booty. Mine is bigger than yours and you need some more back there. You need to at this and you need to eat that. Im not even a fan of ass when judging a girl but this is starting to get to me. They say Bread is the panacea to world of Butt enlargemnt, so I went to research it and found this:

There are certain food you should eat:
  1. Proteins. This consists of eating foods like chicken breast, turkey, lean beef, fish, soy protein, protein drinks, and other lean meats. You should consume a good amount of protein if you want to make your butt bigger

  2. Complex carbs. This is another food that will make only your butt bigger. Some of the complex carbs that you should eat are sweet potatoes, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pastas, brown rice, and oatmeal just to name a few. These carbs will help keep you lean and help you get a bigger booty.

  3. Fruits and veggies. Eating fruits and veggies will also help make only your butt bigger. Make sure you eat plenty of them. A few that you should definitely eat are apples, bananas, salads, broccoli, and green beans


Along with having the diet....having the "right balance" of exercise, gives a woman the butt she desires.

...Ive also heard (and noticed) that having consistent sex in the "doggy position" or anal sex increases butt size also....but from my research that isnt true. Only the aforementioned advice is needed to be heeded.

Hope this helped all you other folks that ponder the same....

Male Homosexual Sex...the pleasure they find.


I mentioned in my older posts, that no tid bit of wisdom is pointless. The key to wisdom is curiosity. So I find myself asking how do Homosexual Men get off on Homosexual Sex?

Seeing that the vagina has a strong mucus membrane, its easy for it to get back to its original elasticity. The asshole, is different. The mucus membrane is very weak. So stretching it out hurts like hell for one, and will remained stetched out for extensive periods of time. So why would one put himself through this?

The answer is the same to a crack head, pothead, and drunk: the feeling. Men recieve orgasms through thier butthole. The prostate gland is wrapped and tied up to the bladder and base of the penis cord (for lack of vocab). When the prostate gland is poked enough times (vigorously), the man has an orgasm. This is called the male "A" spot.

The name comes from the female A spot becuase researchers believe that they are equivalent. Seeing that they are both right next to the bladder and end of the line lol (cervix and penis base), I understand this completely. But what I dont understand is why every time my eyes peruse through a porno, women allow it! Theres no pleasure what so ever in it for them (trust me I researched it). I know that the whole body is an erogenous zone but my god, you cant posiibly find pleasure in the midst of that much excrutiating pain. This just shows what people will do in the height of their freakiness. ,. . ..SMH.

This is not confirmation for men to wonder off to a new way of life, just understanding to everyone who finds themselves asking the same thing. Dont judge them however. Instead find out what persuaded them to pursue this lifestyle, and learn from it. You can then draw a red flag when the situauion comes your way or even pass the kowledge to yourger ones so they wont do the same.

...This has been a Bean Boy PSA.

An Ubiquitous Understanding of Urine


Firstly, I apologize guys for the delay bteween my posts. My mind just hasnt been working how it usually has does these past few days. Ironically my face hasnt either. I was sitting in the car with Mama Bear and she stared at me for a few mins (weirdo) and finally exclaimed " Your face is horendous!"....aww thanks ma....seeing as though I dont give 3 fucks and a hell yeah about my skin lol.

But I did actually, and went about trying to fix it with facials and scrubs one morning. While doing so My super masculine grandfather called me gay and that It didnt take all that. He said "Just piss on yourself"....WTF!!! You mean to tell me to purify my face all I have to do is throw some pee on it? Disgusting right? Nope....I researched it.

Urine is made up of 95% water, 2.5% urea, and 2.5% of minerals and vitamins. The amount of urea you have is determined by your diet and how healthy it is, thus determines the acidity of your piss. The minerals that are in your urine are basically "left overs". Meaning that your body took in all it could take from your diet and excretes it out in your urine. The acidity of the urea and quality of minerals work together intwined with water to create this panacea.

Urine has been used in ancient times for religions reasons but moreso for medicine in ancient times (specifically ubiquitous in India). They beleived that urine could purify the skin, cleanse your inner digestive system, keep you hydrated when water seems insufficient, and mostly prevent illneses. Urinophiles today back them up 100% with research and evidence. Somescientist even debate the that the quality of baby skin is due to amniotic fluid being so closely related to urine.

Urinophiles say that a cup of your morning urine (the first brew) is the best for any situation. They urge you to get the middle stream of the urine. The first part doesnt have enough minerals and the last part hass too much. A cup of your golden shower a day, keeps he meds away. =)

Urine actually does work wonders (from my studying) and Im ready to try it. The outside world that has neglected to try it, downplays urine becuase they done know the goods it can produce. I refuse to indulge myself in willful ignorance. Im going to do a 3 week trial period with a before and after picture and everything. If it works out for me, Im definitely coming back with encouragements for everyone else. I know some of you are outta touch with this concept becuase the percetion ppl have put on urine but at the end of the day its yours. And your diet constitutes the quality of it......so...... lets piss on ourselves guys! =)


For further research click here, here, and here.


Sidenote: Maybe if the lawyers and judges knew the quality and good things that urine could do for you maybe R.Kelly wouldnt have gotten in so much trouble. Maybe they would have took the perspective that he was helping her more than exploiting her lol....maybe the age difference would have beeen taken as a mentor...tryng to help his mentee improve her skin quality lol....maybe =/

America I Am Exhibit




Today I had the pleasure of indulging my self in the exhibition that profoudly displays the "African American Imprint" on America. Thats right Ladies and Gents, I have seen the America I Am exhibit. It is a collectively eruditional piece of art. From the first black to sail the ship with Colombus to Barack Obama, we have infact done quite a bit on Americas face and thus have a massive inprint on the world. ....here at a few things I picked up.

  1. Afro-Spaniards conquested the world in the 100s also. Spain had African decents in thier country that would explore the world with the Spaniards. Never did I know that A black may have been one of the first 10 people to touch foot on this country.

  2. 16 million Africans were victimized to work as slaves, 4 million died in the transition, and 12.5 million endured crazy labor in for the Europeans.

  3. In order to compensate slaves in terms of monetary reparations for the free labor and on the job injuries, It would cost about 19 billion dollars each.

  4. Abraham Lincoln didnt fully oppose slavery. He stated in a few of his documents that if he could have saved the Union without erradicating slavery...he would.

  5. Four of the first five Presidents were slaveowners from Virginia. Their wealth as based of the production and circulation of tobacco.

This exhibit is a must see! I overheard a worker for the exhibit that this is the first time it has been brough down south. Tavis Smiley and Cornell West have outdone themselves wit this one. Please try to attend....click here for more information.

So im writing a book...and I need your opinion


So all year I have been contemplating about writing a book. But more so on what I would write about. I've come to the conslusion that I will write a book to my younger brother who's going to the sixth grade. I've noticed that with my schedule im alwasy occpied and thus cant give him the proper attention he meeds from his older brother. In doing so, I have cheated my brother out of a buttload of life lessons. Theres so much to catch him up on and so much empowerment to give, so much insight to share and so much steering to do. I feel like with what I plan to make happen at Morehouse, that I still wont have the proper time to teach him the good stuff thoroughly. With that in mind, I finalized my decision to write my book. I will write all my lessons I've endured, insight ive gained, and empowerment techniques ive gained from the past and and will gain in the next 5 years in this masterpiece. My goal is to give it to him at his high school graduation ceremony.

.....this is where I need your help....If there is anything on my blog that you feel is more that suffice to the goals of this book...please let me know. Its alot easier to piggy back off my posts than it is to start from stratch. Dont forget to tell me why you think it would behoove me use the post you selected ...Thanks!!

Are you an ignorant believer?



First off, allow me to inform you that I am not an agnostic, nor an Atheist. I have been going to church on consecutive sundays since i was born. Thats at least (52x17)=[884] sundays. I have noticed a couple things. The whole christian aura in church seems a bit like a rap concert. The Preacher goes "blahdy blah blah!". The assistant preacher (or whos ever in the pulpit)goes "You betta preach boy!". Then the crowd feeds off it and responds with "Awright!", "Amen!", "Preach Preacher!" or probably take off and do a few laps. If the preacher feels like he's still not giving them what they are paying for, he'll attempt to get them to interact more by saying stuff like "yall aint hearing me", yall aint sayin nothing" , or something quite innovative like " Stop.Rewind. Now play it again"......Its just the same as a Young Money concert.

Wayne says "Blahdy Blah Blah!". Drake or Mac Mane goes "I wish I could fuck every girl in the world!" And the crowd feeds off of it!...same ol lame ol.....my point is this Im starting to view my religion as its sophism. Specious displays of ingenuity that are point blank just for entertainment. To say "Im a better preacher" or to say "I have the best church" or to say " Ive attracted the best congregation"...modestly. How do we know that what they are feeding us is "sent from god" How can we prove that this man whos entertaining us embodies devine integrity? How? ....to impinge even further......Why are you a Christian? Why are you a jew? Why are you muslim? Why are you a witness of Jehova?.......

Most of the pious people on this Earth couldn't even tell you why they are what they are. They'll give you a monotonous answer that reflects tradition or a single experience. There's nothing wrong with that. You should want to build family ties through religion. But how do you know the way you are praising God fits you best? What research have you done in different religions that shows you took in all perspectives of other ways to praise him? What about the history of the religion when it as first founded compelled you to stick with this life style? Since then, do you agree with the way it has been innovated? It shows that the people are using monotonous optimism with hope to make it to heaven. Whenever I bring this up to a strong believer they never fail to answer me with a one sided answer that just proves my point, and thus reflects them being willfully ignorant becuase they havent chosen to take the time to read up on thier religion and others as well to see if this lifestyle in fact is for them. Now...before I go any further...allow me to contradict myself.

I know that any religion is faith based. Meaning that you arent necessarily supposed to know that somethings right....you just believe.........................Bullshit. God hasnt provided us with all these resources for no reason. He talks left and right about wisdom and foolishness. Not allowing yourself to be informed about why you believe in what you believe in is foolish. This is not an attempt to deter you away from your beliefs nor make you switch religions. But it is an attempt to challenge you to know your shit. Think about it.....There is no set religion that if we live by it thesmophilistically and excel in it, that we are guaranteed a wonderful after life. In fact, there is no guaruntee that after life is even real. We dont know if we are just brainwashed and reused as a cat or flamingo. There is no book with God's signature on it lol.....If youre going to indulge yourself in something faithbased, with no definite outcome, at least know for sure that this is the branch you want to indulge yourself into. Dont allow someone like me to ask you "Why are you a ______?" and you scramble to answer the question using a narrow minded response. You have the right to know....use it.

This needs to be addressed.....



If I come up to you friendly, Just to converse...that doesn’t mean I have an objective. It’s called networking. I have come to the conclusion a long time ago that I'm not chasing females anymore...if they want something from me, they’ll come to me. I dent waste my time "posting" (I’ll come back to that) outside of clubs in attempt to take you home. I’ll leave it to the low life losers who don’t know that that’s not attractive to a girl. It’s actually kind of intimidating. . . .I am a friendly guy...nothing more...nothing less. If I think your cool, I will ignite a conversation with you. You should feel flattered that I seek to find a new friendship in you rather than being judgmental about my motives. You don’t know me....yet. Therefore it wouldn’t be fair for you to treat me in such a way while I’m trying to converse with you.






On another note....Don’t tell me my game is whack. Cause to correct you in two ways. (1) I don’t use "Game “cause (2) "game" is for people whose personality is too shallow to sustain your interest in them. Sorry I have to be the first dude to be real with you first off.




On another note....To piggy back on the aforementioned topic above, Im SICK of seeing my brothers posting. Its so fucking stupid! WTF is cool about watching people walk past you. Thats stalker shit!!! Insane ass Eminem type shit! Theres plenty of other things you could be getting done instead of watching me walk past you with my pants pulled up...I betcha couldnt do that. Or maybe Im just taking the wrong perspective on this...Use your "Freedom of speech", Go to my chat box and persuade me otherwise!...(which is unlikely)




On another note...I’m a type of dude who cares less about others' opinions about me...most times. I’ve learned early in high school that when you value your friends opinions too heavily, your subject to do things that doesn’t reflect your values, aspirations, and morals. Therefore I live how I live! I dress how I dress. People say I dress like a fag. That’s Great! That means I’m wearing something you're not...mission accomplished! Fags dress cool, and aren’t saturated by the equestrian "swag" that plagues the wardrobe world right now. (I’ll come back to that) I’m also going to do what satisfies me. My hobbies are my hobbies. So fucking what if I like to:

  • Read all the books in Barnes and Noble and leave.
  • Write what I read for later references. "To teach once is to learn twice."
  • Speak with purpose. I believe that the ideals of 'Paideia' will save this world. And I’m going to indulge myself in it.
  • Rap just for fun....battle me bruh!
  • Skateboard.......its liberating. So what if that’s not "what black people do"....don’t you think that’s kind of contradicting, seeing that the prevalent theme for coolness in the black community is "Black Boy White Boy Swag".....STFU!
  • Run....I’m good at it. And you wouldn’t race me in a 3 mile run if your life depended on it. It’s my work out. A short 30 min run keeps my abs intact and my endurance up......great for your sex game guy!
  • Walk around nude. I’m comfortable with how my body looks. I never have on clothes when I’m at home and I have a household of 8...5 of which are girls. I put on boxers for the decency of the kitchen and guests, but besides that...sucka my bawlsa! I’m no Mandingo, but I’m damn sure comfy with what I have my guy. My college roommate is going to hate me....=/
  • Dress up. Shows class...get some.

On another note.......What’s up with all you guys and this "Ralph Lauren P-Lo". The style was made for people who want to sustain their class while dressing down. Not people who plan to contradict their wardrobes by oversized shirts and sagged pants. If I dare wear Polo you would understand how much better it looks when it’s worn right. But since I’m a "differenter"...I don’t rock shit like that. My shit go harder than my dick when I’m shaving. Catch up or catch on.


This is to be continued....there’s plenty more to be addressed.


P.S. - I apologized if this lowered the respect that some of you may have of me or changed your perception of me in any way....this is me backstage in the dressing room....please refer to paragraph 4.



This has been a Bean Boy PSA.....

Headline: Facebook FEIN redeems his life!


Soooooo today I finally came to the conslusion the at Facebook is entirely too time consuming. I could be doing a plethora of things instead of artificial networking. I have established my self socially. Now i sek to establish myself acadmically. I suppose that its going to take time. So I shall diverge from Facebook and converge with other books.

But pssh...I also still have to get super aquainted to riding my skateboard again. I love my board...just got sidetracked with my car and didnt spend time with it. I apologize babe.

I have to get back into caring for my body. I used to run all th time. Now i run evey 3 weeks. My body has went from spectacular to attacked by Dracula. Sucked all the beach body out of me.

I really want to write a book. Guess this is the operative moment for me to begin. =)

I want to be a mentor to someone. Gues this is the time to start reaching out to my brothers.

I want to do more community service. With out being addicted to Facebook, this is a viable errand.


Facebook...you are a great site. Great for networing and just plain fun. But I have to indulge myself in better things now...I have to start attaining my goals on this road to success. They say that whatever you do for 21 days becomes nature. Well if I can learn to control myself within this deactivation period. Then maybe I will consider reactivating my account. Thanks for understanding...



Allow Randy to make you [Randy]

Say the second "Randy" in the voice of Austin Powers. I thought it was pretty funny, considering the situation. lol =)


Before I begin I must tell you the story behind this man's legacy. While watching this video, you would think Randy Pausch sustains his sanity by being a temporary bablatrice. You would think He is just using the microphone to level himself off of a previous sugar rush he had backstage. But oh the contrary, this man has 10 tumors in his liver and only has 5 more months to live. (Well he's actually deceased now - Summer 2008 he passed) He is dying for god sakes! Happily! Who does that? Randy does. He uses the whole theme of attaining your childhood dreams but has an underlying message he is getting across. Many of them. The whole lesson is a "Head Fake" as he would say because he strongly believes that people learn best indirectly. They will grasp the concept of what your conveying to them better if you walk it in behind a decoy.

His head fake has taught me this:

  • Never let someone confine you to a status, goal, or even aspiration. Never let anyone put a cap on what you want to do. You are the author of your book. He explains it as "Brick walls let us show our determination. They are there to distinguish the people with a ton of determination from the people with tin can of determination." So whatever you want in life, the way you go about attaining it is determined by your determination. For me my determination paid off in my matriculation into my dream school, Morehouse College. Seeing as though they first rejected me when I applied, I can tell you the true value in not letting "brick walls" define you as you embark on your journey into YOUR future!
  • Secondly, when advice, feedback or input is given to you, swallow it and allow it to digest into your daily life. Pausch asserted "Anybody can get chewed out, but who actually listens." When people give your feedback...cherish it and use it!
  • Lastly, In compliance to the aforementioned points, be prepared. He stated "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." And i understand that thoroughly. In fact on my business cards I have a quote that states "An opportunity of a life time should be seized in the lifetime of that opportunity."...I think that speaks for itself.

Randy Pausch compelled me to go after my dreams twice. Tis lecture is rather extensive but its more enlightening. I challenge all of you to allow it to persuade you to be a better you. Indulge yourself in it, then allow it to thrive you. This is a dead man’s last words....it has to be the most significant life lessons he's accumulated in his lifespan. Take heed.
