Long live the PS2. That system is gonna be right up there with the original NES in terms of longevity. Remember, the NES came out in '85, and was stick in heavy use until about 1993 or so. Even with the Sega Genesis and the SNES, people were still buying games for the NES because the developers had mastered the art of making games for that system (NES), which is exactly why the PS2 is still strong.
I don't know if I would choose Obama over Clinton because quite simply she has more political experience and I agree with many of her views (please do not throw fire at my house this is just my personal opinion). It would be great though if he won, because he is a capable candidate.
But I am VERY VERY VERY VERY glad that Obama is not being shunned for attempting to run. America is stepping its game up maybe in 2012 or 2016 an African American would be President and the American people as a whole will vote not making it a race issue but actually a political issue.
Big ups to Obama he is definately opening doors.
So does the Bush family. So does GW Bush...
Experience is moot sometimes. "What have you done for me lately"?
A lotta "advice" that our parent(s) told us was based off of life experiences.
If you could throw some knowledgable quotables at your future children (or current children) based off of your current life experiences, what would you tell em?
"Dont trust anything but your instincts"
"Stretch a dollar for a rainy day, because there may be many of them"
"Find a good barber, and dont let anybody else touch your hair"
"Dont bother with people that wont bother with you"
"Women come a dime a dozen. Have some standards"
"Pain is not always temporary. Some things you just have to live with"
"Money may be the root of all evil, but social acceptance is the seed where the root comes from" (think on that one....)
"Dress warm for the cold weather" (that can be interpreted differently for different situations. grandpops used to drop some knowledge).
I found this on a website...agree or disagree??
Sometimes a man can meet a woman, be swept off of HIS feet, and try to keep his feet on the ground. He will imagine that she likes him, or she may actually say that she likes him, and he will grow comfortable with the thought of having her around. He’ll start thinking of how she might be the beauty in his life, the woman that makes him a better man. He’ll think of fighting for her and learning everything about her so he can take care of her every need. He’ll foolishly think of the unity of marriage and the joy in his heart when they have children together.
But it’s an illusion. His perspective sees a beautiful woman, looking through flaws like too much makeup or a little extra weight or bad taste in clothing… and he’ll see her beauty. He will accept her and begin thinking of the life ahead… and his feet will start to feel light and he will begin rising ever so slightly from the ground. And she’ll knock the hell out of him.
Because too many women spend forever deciding, analyzing, second-guessing, comparing him with a hundred other men that she sees or hears about or has dealt with. No matter how good, faithful, honest, caring, loving that man is, no matter how much integrity he has, or how much money or abilities he has, no matter what he would give to bless her life… she always will want more. She will be grasping, holding on to him loosely, with just enough cunning to keep him hoping, while she plays other options, and then will drop him for another. And he will shatter on the ground.
People say men are the assholes, the ones jumping from one to another. All a real man really wants, so deep in his heart that it’s seldom discussed… is a woman to believe in him. Enough to be faithful, enough to love him because he’ll leave what he’s doing to rescue her when the car breaks down, or countless other things he will do to prove himself to her. That’s all a man wants. It’s a shame that women don’t understand that just the tiniest amount of attention to a man’s pride will secure him forever. Show a man that you admire him or respect him or even appreciate his willingness to come through for you… and that man will adore you.
So what has happened to men and women? The male ego that people joke about is the same male ego that will cause him to jump into burning flames to save those he loves. The same ego (or sense of duty and pride if you prefer that language) will make a man stick with a woman for life. It will either cause him to do ANYTHING for a woman, or will cause him to retreat and become obsessed with hobbies outside the marriage if a woman WILL NOT acknowledge this very simple truth of a man. Men need to know that their loved ones admire or respect them. The need to know they are needed and powerful to help those they love. That is the purpose of a man.

I couldn't help myself. I had to get in on this one.
I don't think that anyone will be arguing that BET is the place to go for intellectual enrichment, any more so than is MTV. We all know that My Super Sweet 16, Jackass, and Parental Control aren't exactly intended to set the moral compass for the world.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world watching via satellite doesn't realize that. Which explains why they think what they do about the US.
However, I think that there is a lot of potential that we could gain from a shift in programming. Would people necessarily buy into it? I would, but I doubt enough people have the same taste in programs that I do to justify it. Would people watch a 2007 Cosby Show-styled sitcom, or a Black political debate show like Face the Nation? Of course, but it would be a hard sell for BET.
Luckily, there is no marketing entity in the universe with more cool factor, clout, and experience than BET/Viacom. These guys can sell anything to anyone. If you want proof... they're selling the idea that living in the ghetto and being a thug is cool, and the whole world is buying it. If anyone can do it, they can. So why isn't anyone putting two and two together?
There is a solution for this, which I'm not going to get into now. It's going to make millions for me later
I think sometime soon, somebody is going to actually get it. Decent quality programming for Blacks - in movies, culture, and politics. Do I think it is going to be BET? I wouldn't put my money on it.
It's sad, isn't it? They spend their money no over-expensive clothes, jewelry, accessories, cars, etc....(I say they, because I dont do that)
So what are we giving for our children? Ourselves?
It's disgusting. People look at me like I'm a fool when I tell them I dont watch BET/MTV/videos anymore. And I just smile right back.
Vince Young is the Way
Tennessee is the Truth
Jeff Fisher is the Light
If Vince doesn't get Rookie of the Year, they should just stop giving that award out.
Hmmm...so much has happened, and so little room to type. Well, I guess i'll start with the fact that i'm not in school anymore. Yes, sad...i know...but I left Howard to travel and be with my sweetypie. His name is Sebastian Telfair and he's a pro-baller. I initially moved to Portland when he was playing for the Trailblazers, but now we're in Boston. We're engaged to be married on June 6, 2007 because it falls right in between both of our birthdays (june 3 & june 9). Oh, and we're also expecting our first child...yay us! :-D
