I just loved this Lil short trailer for an upcoming movie about a Black Snowboarder from Bed-Stuy.  I found it on Minority Model today.  I rarely stop by their site, but lately she’s had a few really interesting articles.  anyway about the trailer - the kids who are doing the back flips in Brooklyn are doing what kids everywhere do, if they are taught they can do it.

as kids grow we teach them our “You Can’ts” . this stops their “I Can’s“.

We as adults and leaders of youth need to find time to encourage them to say “Yes I Can” each-time they are embarking on a new and exciting learning / growth experience.

we had them when we were children. I remember falling off the side of the pool before I could swim, and my dad rushed to grab me to keep me from drowning. I almost think that if he had waited just a bit longer, it could have been the initiative to learn how to hold my breath under water, and learn that if you hold your breath, you will float.

this is something that I of course learned later when I learned how to swim in high-school, instead of in elementary, as I should have.  I surmise that this was simply because one of my parents like the parents of most non swimmers; are afraid of water.

now I know you’re saying to yourself how does this relate to that dude on the snow board - well if his parents had told him he couldn’t snow board, do you think he would have ended up being a Biggie Smalls Loving, Dread-locked Snowboarder living in Bed Stuy ?  I think not.

so todays’ moral is this boys and girls, Take a Chance - and grow. the least you’ll do is experience something that you hadn’t before; and at the end of the day - that’s what you wanted to do anyway, GROW.

I don’t care how you slice it, these men are METROSexuals..

okay I’m being nice assuming that men who would wear Big Ass Bows on their heads would be ready to defend said bow.

these don’t look like your sunday go to church type thuggish METRO Sexuals… if you following me down the aisle here.  you see they’re modeling their version of the hat worn by Aretha Franklin to the Inauguration of Barack Obama, with the latest thug gear.

 Clutch the Pearls…Girls !

yes now you get it - they are tooooo thugged out, with their BOWS on.

now hush yo moufff and pass it on, cause you know it’s funny. we didn’t take this pic and we’re just like you and errrybody else on the internet tubes who gets to see this fashion statement.  oh yes we threw in antoine and blaine; just cause errybody loves em.

totally lovin it..

 Now if we could just get one big enough for Suge Knight ..

Ladies, it’s Friday and we just want to ask you a simple question -

Does Your Man Lick You, Like a Lollipop ?

WE ask this question because we’ve been watching the latest brouhaha in Jamaica over the Daggering Videos. what do you think is worse, the Daggering Videos; which according to the Jamaican courts, the Dance called Daggering is classified as a physical assault . we agree because it’s dry rape. (that’s why we show you the dance in this short video)

Or Weezy wanting to Have You Lick Him Like a Lollipop ?what we’re getting at is, Weezy’s video that’s’ all over every radio and TV video program - Lollipop. well now that’s no hidden euphemism from what we know about colloquialisms. he skrate asks if she’s going to Lick Him like a Lollipop..

HUH that’s how he opens the song.. ?
yes Willis that’s how he opens the song..

How Straight Disrespectful..

Lil Wayne is a nasty lil butt ugly syrupslupper anyway; as everybody knows. but what gets us is, why is he jumping in this truck limo full of what looks like professional working girls, asking if she’s going to lick him like a lollipop.  well truth be told, she may want to put a strawberry thicker than a snicker latex condom on that lil cocktail snack; before she approaches the business end. if she’s smart, that is.

so today’s lesson is this. if your man will make a song about you licking him and put you in the video, maybe he’s just doing your advance work.
