10 things Men Hate About Females


I was ear hustling one day and overheard a woman complaining about why she can't find or keep a good man. But there is one thing you women tend to forget is that us men are quite simple, we don't ask for much but there are some things that we do want to avoid when dealing with you females. So after several conversations with me and the homies, I've have managed to come up with a few things (in no particular order) that we hate or cant stand about some of you female. 


Ten Things Men HATE about females:


1. Females who spend hundreds of dollars on their weave but then have no food in their house talkin' bout "When u taking me out to Eat?"


2. Females that go to the club every weekend but claim that they are looking for a relationship. But umm ma'am, Mr. Right is not at the bar every weekend just Mr. Right Now.


3. Females who expect men to know what they are thinking. Umm sorry but failed mind reading in high-school.


4. Females that start arguments over nothing but wont talk about what's really bothering them.


5. Females that put having a baby daddy before a husband. Isn't there an order of operation? Well ... Get it right.


6. When females talk about wanting a "good man" but overlook the college graduates and go for the dope boys and wonder why their life is so drama filled. 


7. Those females who look forward to get that child support check so that they get there nails done. 


8. When females take hours to respond back to a text message and then get mad when we forget what we were talking about 3 hrs ago.


9. When a female is constantly accusing you of cheating. -- I mean give me the benefit of the doubt, that chick really is my cousin.


10. Oh yeah that female who doesn't clean up after her self. -- There's nothing sexy about a junky female because I have probable cause to believe that "the box" may not be clean either. 


But with all that said, I love women!! But some of yall do be tripping tho. Guess I gotta learn to give and take.

MOVIE REVIEW: Tyler Perry's "Good Deeds"


Yesterday I took my mother on a date to go see the premier of “Good Deeds” starring thee incomparable Tyler Perry, beautiful Thandie Newton and Gabrielle Union. And I must say that this was indeed an awesome film; the storyline was deep with moments that would make you want to laugh and cry from the raw emotions and lives portrayed.
In a gist the movie is about a successful businessman Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry) who has lived by the book his whole life. He has followed all the rules, maintained the “good son” role, a stickler to routine and lives of very predicable boring life. Lame... Right??
Well one day he meets Lindsey, a feisty free-spirited single mother who has a plethora of issues of her own but her sheer presence turns Mr. Deeds life upside down.... and then the plot thickens... 

Many would be pleased to know that this film does not have any bitter-man-hating black women complaining nor does it have the gun toting Madea cussing and causing havoc. Meanwhile it shows two people from different tax brackets and lifestyles yet seemingly are very much alike and share similar interests.

Even though I personally cringe at the mere thought of Tyler Perry in a kissing love scene, he however did a great job Oh let’s not forget Thandie Newton … sista girl played her role oh so well. 

Too bad I cant tell you what happened, just know that I left the movie theatre teary eyed, feeling very grateful for my life and even more determined to achieve my goals all while keeping my integrity and spontaneity.  
So basically any and everybody can relate to this movie! Its definitely a MUST SEE!!
A moving, uplifting romantic drama about relationships and the defining choices we make in our lives, 'Tyler Perry's Good Deeds' is written, produced and directed by Tyler Perry, and stars Perry, Thandie Newton, Brian White, Rebecca Romijn, Jamie Kennedy, Eddie Cibrian, Jordenn Thompson, Beverly Johnson, with Phylicia Rashad, and Gabrielle Union.

We Salute: Raven Symone - A Woman of Integrity



On this wonderful Friday, we must to pay homage to none other than the beautiful Raven Symone. At the young age of 26 years old, America has watched her blossom from a cute little three-year-old into a now very classy woman. 

She launched her career in 1989 as Olivia on The Cosby Show as Olivia. Then later showed off her acting chops in Hanging With Mr. Cooper, That's So Raven Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Dolittle 2, College Road Trip, The Cheetah Girls and more. 

Unlike many child stars, Raven has managed to stay "scandal free" and keep the media out of her personal life. You'll never hear about who she is dating or see any pictures or videos of her in compromising positions. 


She credits her success to her family and spiritual upbringing and for that very reason she is worth $45 Million and earned $35,000 per episode from Disney for her hit show That's So Raven! *balllinnngg

We Salute Ms. Raven Symone for staying true to her self, never compromising her morals, being a woman of integrity which has lead her to be a successful actress, singer, songwriter, comedian, dancer, television producer and model. 

Now ladies she is indeed a role model. Let's all follow her lead :) 

FREAKY FRIDAY: Pinky XXX Slams AIDS Rumor! (VIDEO RESPONSE)


The fact that this is even news is really sad! But Twitter has been filled with the "Does Pinky Have Aids?" tweets all day. So I took it upon myself to see what is really going on with this AIDS rumor. 

Now for those who have been living under a rock, Pinky XXX is an adult porn star *pause* And the rumors have spread like wild fire that she had contracted HIV from infected actor Darren James who retired from the porn industry in 2004. So Pinky took to twitter and slammed the harsh rumors. She denied having HIV/Aids and that Darren James contracted HIV & left left the porn industry in 2004, clearly before she started in 2006!

Even though I don't agree with her career choice, its not cool for people to spread such harsh rumors. AIDS is very serious and not something to play with. Check out her video response below:



WATCH: Pinky talks about using condoms now!

Throwback Thursday: Q-Tip - "Vivrant Thing"


First off, this Throwback Thursday has me super geeked!! I was never really a fan of Q-Tip until he released "Vivrant Thing". And when this joint first hit back in 1999 you couldn't tell me I wasn't going to get it when this song or video came on. --- and yes the "head nod" was dope! 

"Special girl, real good girl - Biggest thing in my itty bitty world - Called her up and she made me feel right - Wish the bliss could never take flight"


"Vivrant Thing" was the first single released off his debut solo album Amplified.



We Salute: Don Cornelius (RIP)


Yesterday marked the first day of Black History Month and it was indeed unsettling to find out that thee Donald Cortez "Don" Corneliusshow host and producer of the nationally syndicated dance/music Soul Train, was found dead in his home yesterday morning. 

Rather than focus on his alleged suicide death we would like to pay homage to his 35 year run on Soul Train in which he was able to help shape careers, start trends and be a legend in his own right. Before there was Bet and MTV, there was Soul Train was the show that honored the top performances in R&B, hip-hop, gospel and jazz and showcased dances and clothing styles that were popular in the young african american community. 

Don Cornelius was such a smooth brother and had a deep soothing voice that captivated audienceS. He will forever be remembered for "Love Peace & Soul" and the infamous "Soul Train Line", in which people would line up on seperate sides faces each other and one or more people would come down the middle doing a catchy dance. 

**Does the cabbage patch and the Roger Rabbit in Honor of Don Cornelius and Soul Train** 

WE SALUTE: DON CORNELIUS

I'm Single Because ....


"The civil war story between black men and women"


There are many people who would say that being single is liberating, and yes in some cases it is. But there are many single people who aren't choosing to be single but merely have yet to find that one who is willing commit to a relationship for whatever reason. 

Am I single? Yes, but I am a 25 year-old woman who has decided that after a failed 3 1/2 year (on and off again relationship) that my career and happinesses is much more important. But don't get it twisted, a relationship would be awesome, but of course with a guy who is willing to add to me intellectually, spiritually, emotionally etc. 


Nevertheless, this post isn't about me and my love life but about a new film project that is in the works!!  

So after listening to the Michael Baisden Show, they spoke with Adam Bulter who is the Director/Producer of an independent film entitled, "Im Single Because" which discusses the issues of why there are so many single black people. The film raises many questions and concerns and is a great round table discussion. Are black women's expectations too high? Can black men be faithful? And are black men and women in a civil war? 


I personally think this is a great case study and interesting to hear the various view points and reasonings of why black women and men are single. Check out the Trailer Below: 


SUPPORT & DONATE!!!
