Spike Lee - Michael Jackson birthday tribute

This weekend, Spike Lee hosted a FREE tribute concert in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York.

The event was very well attended, with many people of various ages and cultural backgrounds, all enjoying the music of this legendary performer.

The fact that the event was free, ensured that not only the rich or fortunate would attend this event, but opened it to anyone who wished to attend.

Music was the theme from beginning to end, the togetherness, world and self-improvement message of much of MJ's music was felt throughout the park.

All people big and small, short and tall were singing, dancing, moving to and duplicating the dance moves from his many memorable music videos. It was evident how many people were touched, influenced and motivated by his music and his message.

Happy Birthday Michael!

Stay tuned for our pics from the event.

What's Your Fantasy?

If you've been keeping up with the blog, you would have noticed
the post that made about the top 10 male fantasies. One of the
fantasies listed just happened to be having both a mother and
daughter. Here are some hot celebrity mother/daughter
combinations to fantasize about fellas. Hope you like!

Beverly Johnson & Ananson Sims

It's Official: White Guys are In!

Remember that movie 'Something New' with Sanaa Lathan

and Simon Baker? Long story short, the movie was about

an African American woman who dealt with the trials and

tribulations of crossing the colour lines and dating outside

of her race. Interracial dating has always been a controversial

area of discussion. In particular, African American women

have found it difficult to explore and date outside of their

race for obvious fads that white men do not measure up

below the waist line or that they like rock music and are
down right corny! These ideas are starting to change now

based on the experiences that women are having with African

American males. For example, Halle Berry once told the media

that she has tried black men and it never worked out. She is

currently dating Gabriel Aubry and says she couldn't be

happier and will never date a black man again. I was shocked

to hear this but not surprised. I, myself feel that the quality

of black men nowadays has decreased. Now don't get me wrong,

I know some great black men who set the standard for what

a MAN should represent. The rest unfortunately fall into a

the following categories: cheaters, liars and under achievers.

This is really sad to me because I'm not the only individual
who sees things this way. Here is what one woman had to say

on the topic:

"A black man does not protect our beauty. They constantly

try to destroy it. During slavery, black women were

constantly raped and degraded. Instead of stopping the

abuse, the black man continued it."

Now men, I will repeat myself and say that not all of you fall

into this category. So do not get offended and start protesting

against Two Grasshoppers. I'm just showing you what the
opinions of others are so that if you do fall into this category

you can become enlightened and make the change for the better.

But I digress. Here are some famous celebrity women who have

dated African American men and have now moved over to the

other side.

Just a question ...

Why is everyone so damn emotional?

Why when you tell someone something honestly, do they FIRST take offence, SECOND get angry that you spoke the truth, THIRD get upset that you would "think that way about them", before FINALLY realizing that you were right.

If you tell someone they're f*#king up, instead of thinking "shit, am I?", they think and often say ... "what do you know, you don't know what you're talking about". But, in most instances they do, the hardest thing for most people is self-reflection ... sorry OBJECTIVE self-reflection. Not because they don't know how to judge themselves or question their own actions, rather they are afraid to do so, because of what they might discover.

Next time, before you flip out at the way someone tells you something, maybe you should consider what is being told. There is something to be learned from any person you meet, encounter or have a relationship with throughout life. Don't be so quick to react or defend yourself, before you are even certain you're being attacked.

Take a step back, a look in the mirror and assess yourself, because we're all flawed, just many of us are afraid to find out what those flaws are and once we have, to admit them.

Top 10: Female Fantasies

Women are experts when it comes to dreaming up

the most exhilerating fantasies. Some of these women
spend just as much time hoping that their men will help
to put their fantasies into practice. Sound interesting?
Here are the top 10 fantasies thought of by women.

Number 10: Domination (her dominating you)
The whole scenerio revolved around you worshipping her
body and begging for her attention. She gets to be in control
why enjoying total devotion from her man.

Numer 9: Domination (you dominating her)

Number 8: Teacher/Student

Number 7: No Strings Attached

Number 6: Threesome with another woman
In this scenario you are meant to play voyeur until
she is ready for something more hardcore. This allows
her to experience the best of both worlds without
jealousy and sharing.

Number 5: Threesome with two men

Number 4: Voyeurism
It's erotic, exhilorating and simply taboo. When she says
that she enjoys watching, it means that she enjoys being
naughty without getting her hands dirty.

Number 3: Rape

Number 2: Exhibitionism
Most women are far too body conscious to experiment
with this one, making this simply a fantasy as opposed
to reality.

Number 1: Private Dancer
Most women would never strip in a public setting. So
why privately? Your enjoyment tells her that you find
her attractive and your erection lets her know that she is
in control!

Everyone has an opinion...

but doesn't mean you have to listen.

What She Really Means Is....

Hey Y'all it's me again I just wanted to let you in on a little secret about women. Today's women are different than the women of the past. They are more sophisticated, more independent, more courageous, more bold and more aggressive. One thing that has not changed is that they are still and always will be emotional as the screenplay for the "Notebook".

During my many experiences with the opposite sex, I have learned that women learn to communicate with you in different ways. I mean they say one thing, but really mean another. I have taken the liberty to jot down some of these phrases that women use in their everyday interaction with us men READ CAREFULLY.

1. Whatever... means Fuck You!

2. I don't care anymore.... means I don't want to be emotional about this anymore!

3. You never listen to me.... means Why can't you read my mind!

4. I told you that already..... means I told you when you were half asleep!

5. I don't like that girl... means she makes me insecure about myself!

6. Now you are getting rude.... stop making sense it is too harsh and honest!

7. I wanna spend time with you... means I wanna have sex with you!

8. I don't want you to go out... means unless you are taking me with you!

9. Calm down....means stop being so honest I can't take it!

10. Why are you so mad.... means I wouldn't be mad at you if you fucked up!

11. I,m Sorry.... I feel stupid that you are upset due to my own insecurities!

12. Stop looking at her...... means look at me I want your attention!

13. You just don't understand... I don't know how to explain it!

14. Why didn't you call me... I have nothing to do, why are you so busy?

15. Who are you going out with?..... Are there any girls you are going out with?

16. I am bored.... I need more excitement in my life and you aren't providing that

Now some of these questions may vary depending on the female who is asking them so be careful with how you go about answering them.

Fellas your next so stop laughing!!!

SAY NOTHING!

In the case that you are ever arrested, wrongfully accused or at the wrong place

at the wrong time remember this advice if you can't remember anything else.

"Don't say anything" No matter what the cops say. Chances are they are lying to you....

The moment you open up your mouth you are guilty in the eyes of the police.

Keep you mouth closed and they cannot hold anything against you !!!!

Mysonne's Simple Pull-Up Workout

Now For all you who don't know. Mysonne is a Hip-Hop Artist from the Bronx. He was in jail for two armed robberies, which he served due to not informing on the participating members, although he states he did not commit.

Anyway he has learned alot of things in Jail and working out was one of those things he has kept in his regime. Here is Mysonne explaining how to get big arms, back and chest without having to go to the Gym. Enjoy!!!!

Nap time...

Why did they eliminate nap time after daycare/kindergarten???

When you're a toddler, with the least amount of responsibilities and things to do on a daily basis, outside of eat, play and sh!t, you have daily naps scheduled.

But, when you're older, working, stressing ... family, kids, gym, part time job, you need a nap the most, but can barely squeeze out a good nights sleep.

I'm starting a petition to incorporate naps into the daily work schedule.

I'll get right on it, after I rest my eyes for a few minutes.

Would you?!?!

The other day was talking to my friend and we were talking about coming from such large families that we don't know who could be our distant cousin male or female as we go through life. Becuase, in some cases we've never met them or even know they exist. This got me thinking ...

Would you ever...

1. date a distant cousin? ("I didn't know, I swear, I didn't know!")


2. follow your girlfriend when she has a "girls night" out? ("Oh, I always hang out at the male strip club ... you didnt know?")


3. date someone your friend already had? ("You did? Really? When? I don't rememeber.)


4. finish your dates meal when they go to the washroom? ("Chick ... I'm paying for this sh!t")


5. ask a bad date for gas money? ("Gas, Ass or cash ... no one rides for free.")


6. cancel a date 30mins before you're suppose to meet? ("I just changed my mind.")


7. film a sexual act and not tell the other person ("Red light? What red light?)


8. answer your partner's phone, check their voicemail and then delete msg ("7 is delete? Oh, my bad.")


9. date 2 friends, but not tell one about the other ("Was that wrong? I had no idea that was frowned upon.")


10. fantasize about your mother? ("I'm not disgusting, haven't you heard of Freud, I'm sophisticated")


11. said something and then wish you could take it back, then think to yourself F*ck it? (Is it MY fault that you're offended, really?")

Stop Hammer Time!!!!

No this article isn't about "Mr. Cant Touch This", this is about women who regardless of their foot condition feel the relentless need wear open toe shoes, flip flops, sandals, wedges or any other female shoe wear I can see your monkey hands, I mean feet.

First of all, if God gave you feet that are:

A) Large

B) Your toes look like Vienna Sausages stuffed into a dental floss pack

C) Toes that get longer from left to right

It is not your fault, you just have bad feet for a female. But please, please, please.....

do not feel the need to wear Sandals, Wedges, Flip Flops or any other open toe shoe.

Think of it like " The Atlantic African Slave Trade" NEVER AGAIN!!!!

It is rather disgusting especially when I am eating on the way to work via public transit.

This has been such a recurring issue that I decided to stop eating breakfast or a snack for that matter until I get to work. Yuuucccccccckkk!!!!

I consider myself to be an inventive person and with that being said here is one of

my newest inventions. Foot alarms....now bare with me as I explain how this will work.

When a lady with bad toes, stinky feet or ashy foot bottoms attempts to put her foot

into anything but a close to shoe, an alarm will sound off louder than a firetruck or

repeatedly says "RAPE RAPE RAPE" until she immediately takes her foot out and puts on another appropriate shoe.

I have also thought of inventing the foot GPS. Now the foot GPS will walk you through

exactly where the most appropriate shoe is located to your feet and instruct you on

how to put them on in the most quickest and effective manner.

So ladies please do me a favour. When you get the chance.

Take your foot out of your shoes

Take your socks off

Analyze your feet

And then say to yourself Never AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN!

Have you ever met a shape shifter?

A what?!!

A shape shifter, mystique ... chameleon.

I have. There's this girl I met a while back, that every time I see her, she looks different. Some days, she looks sexier than a naked Halle Berry giving a sponge bath to Eva Mendez, other days, she looks like the left over bath water. (I'm kidding ... not that bad).

More like that episode of Seinfeld when he's dating that girl that only looks good in the coffee shop. I wonder why that is.

Is it her? Or is it really me?

I can't be the only person who has ever experienced this.

Did you know?

That cocaine can be found on 85% of Canadian banknotes.

In a study presented Sunday at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, researchers looked at banknotes from more than 30 cities in Canada, the U.S., Brazil, China, and Japan.
Twenty-seven Canadian bills, taken mostly from Toronto and the Sarnia, Ont., area, were analyzed, said lead researcher Yuegang Zuo, a chemistry and biochemistry professor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Of the Canadian bills, 85 per cent were laced with cocaine. The amount of coke found on the banknotes ranged from 2.4 micrograms to upwards of 2,530 micrograms – approximately 100 grains of sand.
The results in the U.S. were similar. The researchers examined 234 bills from 17 U.S. cities and found that nearly 90 per cent of the notes contained trace amounts of cocaine.
Scientists have long known that money can become contaminated with cocaine during drug deals or by snorting the drug through rolled bills.
Bills that are not involved in drug deals can also be contaminated as they are processed by banks.
Despite the study's findings, Zuo said people shouldn't have any health or legal concerns about handling drug-tainted paper money.
In most of the notes examined, the amount of cocaine found was too small to interfere with drug tests or cause any health problems, he said.

Words from the Wise!

Nothing in life comes easy and whatever does, never last long. Does anyone believe this?

I know i do. Over the years, I have learned many lessons about money, relationships and continuous struggle. Life does not get any better as you get older and honestly it can be very overwhelming. As I look back on my life as a carefree student, I realize that I took my life for granted and did not enjoy it as much as I could of.

Don't get me wrong I did have moments where I indulged in the joyous moments of life, but I still feel like I am missing something. Now that I am in my mid twenties I am looking at life from an older perspective and realize that life is no game. In order to get what you want you have to work hard and then when you seem to reach your goal work even harder to exceed it.

Some of you may be sitting there wondering "what the hell am I reading?" I just needed to get this off of my chest. However, like any book or movie that you experience there is a message.

Message: Life has good and bad times, ups and downs. Never say "why me?" and always plan ahead. Nothing tried and nothing gained, so hang in there and be persistent. Success comes to those who are the most persistent, disciplined and determined. Do you want it bad enough?

Quote of the Day

" I Love Winning, I Don't Hate Losing!

There is a difference. If you hate losing you will do anything to win!

If you Love winning you wanna win the cleanest best way possible. "

Jay-Z

Keep that in mind along the road to success...

Usain Bolt Does It Again, Again!

He's baaaack!!!

We take a moment to welcome NFL quarterback, Michael Vick back.

Give the man his, not only did he man up when the allegations and charges arise (didn't get into

a pale white Ford Bronco, with a sawed off shotgun and drive slowly up the freeway), but he

served his 2 year bid AND came home to work a $10/hr construction job. The Eagles did not

disclose details of the contract but ESPN reported Michael Vick will earn $1.6 million this

season with a team option on the second year for $5.2 million.

Not only did he man up ... he swallowed his pride, humbled himself and admitted his fault.

Always been a fan of his unorthodox, "catch me if you can", high octane style of play. But, more than that I'm a fan of his bounce back, you can bend but not break me attitude and approach.

Most people get knocked down or set back in life, but not all get back up or push through.

Lessons to be learned in any situation you encounter.

Oh No Keri!

When Keri Hilson first came out I really liked her style. She dressed with attitude and had an edge to her. But lately, her style seems to be way off. I didn't like her Michael Jackson ensemble she performed in at the BET Awards but I let it go because I figured it was her tribute to MJ. But just recently she was photgraphed at a performance in an outfit resembling something that Aladdin would wear. Keri if you ever see this message: "Please stop the outrageous costume impersonations!" Take a look at the pictures below to see what I'm talking about.

Fashion Trends or Fashion Ends?

TwoGrasshopers has been on this topic for a really long time: Men in Tight Jeans. My colleagues Mr. Sax and That Guy have both written articles adressing the issue but I think it's time that you get a females perspective on it. I recently found pictures from Calvin Klien's Fall 2009 fashion show and was disturbed by what I saw (see picture below). In no way, shape of form is this new form of dress attractive. First it was the tight jeans, then came the keds and now it's florescent tights. WTF is going on? Men, do you not see a problem with this? You are dressing more and more like women every year! What's next, sharing clothes with your girlfriend? Think about this. If you can walk outside and find another female wearing an outfit similar to yours, don't you find that to be a bit strange? Forget what celebrities are wearing. They are dressed by stylists and sponsored by famous designers (like Calvin Klien) in order to fit into the Hollyweird lifestyle (still no excuse). Create your own style and stop following trends. But if you disagree you probably fall into one of two of these categories: your gay and you don't mind the ball hugging pants because you weren't looking to reproduce anyways or because you don't mind wearing purses because your relationship requires you to be the woman in the relationship since HE wears the pants.
