breakup season.

"the summer is about to get hot" - Hov





Its getting hot. I mean really hot. Like two showers a day minimum hot and people's patience levels lower causing heated arguments all the time. The other day I seen two elderly ladies about to wreck on the bus, but thats a whole 'nother story. Some of these arguments are by relatives, peers, amigos & neighbors. But one set stands out the most in my eyes during this heated quarter of the year - couples!

It seems as soon as the Sun starts to rise for more than usual during the summer, couples die out left and right. Now to my knowledge, the only time you can tell a person's TRUE side is when they have came across an unconceivable amount of money or when stressed. When stressed, the blunt-i-don't-give-a-fuck side always seems to pop out. And in a relationship, as soon as you get pissed and that Sun starts beaming on you. All hell can break loose in your mind. You can feel as though the only way to get rid of this stress and irritablity is through change.

So whats the most logical choice of change for someone. Switching jobs? Not in this recession. Finding a new place? Not in this recession. Breaking up with the one that you love, but feel like you two are no longer good for each other? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes! The heat is a motherfucka man. And its more than just the temperature, its the things that go along with it. The showing of more skin which leads to seduction, the nightlife weather is GREAT, cookouts everywhere and plus who wants to be held back in the summer anyways. You want to travel with your crew and not have to worry about checking in with the "loved one." The summer is hot, well its getting hot. Drink a bottle of water, margarita, brew, wine cooler, whatever moves you and chill OUT!

In the end, theres nothing you can do to stop this monster. No one is immune to it, no one can hide from it except the relationships that are real and have been through some turmoil already. If you want to marry him/her, make it through a DMV summer together first.

PS - once it get cold again, you going to go right back to where you was.lol

10 Ways to Ruin Your Car.




1. Not Using The Parking Brake

It’s a little pedal near your left leg, or a lever on your right. Yes, that mysterious device that you’ve never used is actually valuable. When you park on an incline, or even on fairly steady ground, without using the parking brake, you’re putting all of the stress of the car on your transmission. The only thing inside that
transmission holding your car steady is a little pin called a parking pawl. By using the parking brake, you lock up the non-drive wheels as well as the drive wheels and take the stress off of the transmission. It’ll add years of life to your cars
transmission. Just remember to disengage it before you start driving again.

2. Not Coming To A Complete Stop Before Shifting

So you’rein a rush, and you pull out of a parking space and shift into drive while
the car is still coasting backwards. You’ve just added months of wear to your
transmission in seconds. Inside your transmission is a complex set of gears, when you shift without stopping like that, you’re asking those gears to work as your brakes, which puts an amazing amount of stress on such a small area. You can also damage your drive shafts, the things that send power to the wheels, by shifting that way. After a while, it’ll lead to sloppy suspension handling, and a worn out
transmission.

3. Riding The Brakes Down A Hill

If you are driving on a hill that goes on for a while, you’ll want to avoid riding the brake the whole time. Alternate between braking and letting off the brake so you don’t heat up and wear out your brake pads. It’s a common mistake, because it feels like the safest way to maneuver down a hill, but if the hill is sufficiently long, you can end up almost totally wearing out your pads, since as they heat up, they wear faster.

4. Forgetting To Change The Oil

You need to change your oil every 5,000 miles at the most. That’s really all there is to it. I actually read a blog online that said you can wait until your oil light comes on to change your oil. I’ve worked in the automotive business… by the time your oil light comes on, the oil inside your engine has turned into jet black molasses and is of no use to your engine. In the short term, I suppose it’s not that important, but more frequent changes can actually double the life of
your car and greatly increase its performance.

5. Pressure Washing The Engine

I can respect a person’s desire to want a clean engine. It gets grimy under there and a guy with a pressure washer is a dangerous thing for grime - you want to point it at anything even slightly dirty. But a grimy engine that runs right is better than a clean engine that doesn’t run at all. And if you spray a high powered jet of water around rubber seals and hoses and electrical bits, you’re bound to dislodge something important. A modern engine is a complex thing, all manner of sensors and wiring harnesses and components, and it’s no place for a jet of high pressure water. A regular garden hose is OK if you want to wash it down, just be careful with the high pressure business.

6. Starting Your Car The Wrong Way

It seems simple, but you can make a big difference by turning off your radio, wipers, climate control, all of those accessories, when you start the car. Most of the wear on the engine happens when you start the car, and by turning off those accessories, your engine doesn’t have to work as hard when starting.

Another thing people do is revving the engine in the winter. This actually doesn’t help “warm up” the car. Although it does technically make the engine hotter, it’s not the kind of “warming up” that you want. Revving your engine in the winter causes extreme temperature changes right away, which is actually the opposite of what you want. When you start the car, the oil hasn’t yet worked its way through the system, so the engine is working without lubricant. The right way to do it is just let
the car sit and idle for about 30 seconds to a minute at the least.

7. Ignoring Your Car’s Sounds

Every sound your car makes means something, if you pay attention, your car can usually tell you exactly what needs fixing. Those squeaking brakes mean you need new pads, and if you ignore that sound, eventually you’ll hear scraping metal, which means you need new rotors, and if you ignore that, you’ll eventually hear the sound of your own scream as you lose your brakes completely and fly off a cliff in a spectacular fireball of death. It’s more common than you think. Listen to
your car.

8. Letting The Interior Go

You’re in a rush again, and you eat most of your disgusting egg and cheese bagel, and toss the rest in the wrapper on the passenger seat. Lovely. You know who you are, you’re car is filthy, never been vacuumed, 15 air fresheners hang on the mirror, and yet, no air freshener made by mortal man can stop the sickening wind within your car. You need to clean it. If you don’t vacuum your carpets and clean out the garbage every so often, you’ll develop a smell that is impossible to destroy. I’ve worked in the auto salvage business, and I know that there exist smells that are so obscene, so inhuman, that no shampoo can vanquish them. The only way to stop them is to never let them develop. Clean your car, for the sake of all mankind.

9. Running Your Car Down To Empty

There’s actually a bit of a debate about this one. The old wisdom says if your car gets down to E, the sediment in your tank will get sucked into the system and foul your fuel injectors. Although some mechanics says thats not true. Either way, running down to E does pose other problems. You cut the life of the fuel pump considerably, since the fuel actually cools the pump.

An interesting note: Most cars can drive another 60 miles+ after they hit Empty, automakers call this extra gas the “buffer zone”. US cars have the largest “buffer zone” of any vehicles. German drivers, for instance, like to know exactly how much gas in is the car, so their “buffer zone” between the gauge’s E and the actual empty tank is much smaller.

10. Driving Past Attractive Women

This is a common mistake, especially among younger male drivers. Attractive women can be incredibly damaging to your vehicle, they can cause the driver to install bizarre over-sized woofers or 22 inch rims, or even spontaneously crash
the car into a nearby tree or telephone pole. When you’re driving, be careful to avoid swimming pools, beaches, college campuses, anyplace where beautiful girls assemble in any significant numbers.


Your car will thank you.

Strip Club Etiquette



1. NEVER, under any circumstances, request a dance from a stripper, EVER!!!
This rule is non-negotiable. I dont care how bad the bitch is, if she doesnt offer you a dance, then she dont want one, period. Asking makes you seem impatient at best, awestruck or desperate at worst, and it completely ruins any chance you may have of gettin over on her, so save the begging for the simps, old guys and white boys.

2. Do NOT make eye contact with any stripper who's on stage
While on the pole, (the non-superstar) strippers do one of a couple things, wish/pretend they were somewhere else, and scan the crowd to see which sap they can hit up for $$$ when they get off stage. If youre gonna gawk at the azz, do it while she's not looking. Unless you plan on throwin some cash at her, or getting a few dances when she's done, avoid locking eyes, and remember rule 1.

3.Try to make eye contact with the potential mark while she is talkin to other dudes But not while she is alone, she'll just walk up to you and start her hustle. And not while she's dancing for another dude either, she'll think youre trying to get a free peek, i.e. youre overly horny, broke, or both. Definite turnoffs for a stripper. But if you make eye contact while she's talkin to another dude, you dont come off as horny, and you can use that eye contact to your benefit. Ill get to that later on.

4. ALWAYS Reject the First Offer
This rule can be bent, but I wouldnt advise it, unless youre in a hurry, or at a spot where you know you wont be going back to for a while. When Diamond, or whoever offers you a dance, turn her down with a smile and a polite excuse. Make eye contact to drive your point home with sincerity. Make it an excuse that implies that but for some small technicality, you would LOVE to get alot of dances from her. The superstars/professionals will most likely keep it movin, but if your game is tight, the stars, mid level chicks, and newbies will see you as a potential victim that, with a little convincing, i.e. flirting, touching, grinding etc, can be convinced to give up the cash. If she stays to talk, she's most likely thinking she's about to go in for the kill, little does she know, she aint fuckin wit a rookie.

4. Get Her off balance
Whether its a doctor, a laywer, a stripper, or a nun, women cant resist an opportunity to run thier damn mouth. Strike up a conversation with your mark, get her talkin, and get her mind off of makin money. I admit, its tough, damn near impossible to do this with the true professionals, but only about 20-30% of the workin chicks fit into that category, so you'll spot the low hanging fruit pretty easily on most nights. Make her laugh, and feel comfortable, the two go hand in hand usually. Make fun of your job, it'll help if she's apprehensive about hers. A good number of the chicks in there, especially new ones, are uneasy about dancin naked, asking strangers for dances, etc. Get her to relax, and she'll stay there, making no money, for quite a long time. When you think about it, its no suprise that many strippers would rather shoot the breeze with a seemingly friendly guy than parade around naked, begging strangers for money.

5.Watch for "the hook"
Usually within a few songs of talkin, unaware that she's being hustled, the mark will try to hit you up again. Say no again, of course. But your game must be even tighter this time. If you can get her to sit for more than 3-5 songs, youre just about in there. At that point, its decision time, she can either call it quits and try her luck with another dude, stay there talkin, (makin it obvious that to all that she's makin no money), or throw "the hook", meaning start dancin for free, pretendin that she's workin to avoid embarassment, and trying even harder to make some money out of you in the process.

6.Throw the Counterpunch
Now that your mark is off balance, and no longer focused on makin money, you can go in for the kill. But youve gotta do it smoothly or it wont work. When she gets up to start dancin, you must ignore the urge to stare, grab, or reposition yourself in any way. Dont do anything that will make it seem as though youve changed your mind about gettin a dance. If you show your hand to quickly, she'll call your bluff and be expectin money, or worse, she'll realize she's been had and make a quick getaway before youve had time to enjoy the fruits of your hustle. With your body language suggesting that youre still not interested, playfully call her out for trying to entice you, accuse her of trying to hustle you, and let her know its not going to work. Tell her you thought she was cool, but to go find someone else to hustle, there are plenty of simps she can get paid by, and come back and talk to you when she's done playin games etc.

7.Set the Trap
If your hustle accusation is well timed and well said, it should work easily. Number one she's off her game at this point, and number two its true. Again, resist the urge to respond to any advance she makes. At that point, the money (she thought) she was just about to get is slippin through her hands, and she looks silly to boot. If she still doesnt leave and keeps dancing, that means she is goin all in. Youre holdin pocket Aces and gettin ready to clean her ass out.

8.Close the Deal
That she stays could mean a couple things, either she wants to convince you that she wasnt really tryin to hustle you (GTFOH). She really doesnt want to go back to reality, i.e. fold her hand, cut her losses, and move on to the next guy. Or if youre lucky, she's green, and genuinely intrigued. If she's new, its possible that no one has hustled her this way before, and she may still think she has the upper hand. In which case she'll place another bet, meaning she'll start giving you free dances, hoping you'll eventually change your mind and pay for some. Or failing that, she'll dance then try and hit you up as if you had agreed to pay, hoping you give in to avoid a scene. So when she starts dancing as if it were a real dance, removing clothers, bending over etc, tell her firmly that you dont want any dances, that she needs to go make some money, etc. Again she's either trying to prove that isnt a hustler, she's trying to avoid lookin like she wasted all that time and got no dances/money, or she'd rather stay there with you and be relaxed for no money than get maybe get paid to maybe dance with a stranger. Maybe a combination of the three. No matter her motive, at this point, youre in there. Just remember to renew your objections at some point during each song to confirm that she understands she's not going to be paid, and wink at your boyz to let em know youre the fuckin man.

9.Plan Your Getaway
All but the dumbest marks will tire of making no money after a few freebies. Now that she's danced a few songs, and at least made casual observers think she made some money, she'll feel comfortable about walking away. Congratulate her on finally making the right choice, and send her packin. If she doesnt stop on her own, the dances are good, and you want the hustle to work again the next time, make an excuse, and head for the bathroom, bar, or parking lot after no more than 4-5 songs. If she goes on stage later that night, shoot her a tip, and if she works up the nerve to ask for more dances, you'll have to give in and pay her for at least one or two, IF you want to hustle her again at a later date that is.

10.Last But Not Least
Strippers watch other strippers, regardless of what they say. They want to see who's shellin out cash, and who thier main competition is. This is especially true of the ones not makin money. They watch all the rest of the strippers like hawks, to pick up pointers, to hate, and to steal customers if need be. Rest assured other girls will notice what youre doin after a while. More often than not, at least one of the crew will get called out by a professional for pullin stunts. Good thing is, one stripper is hardly ever going to drop knowledge on another, so dont worry about anyone puttin you on blast. In fact, Ive noticed alot of the more seasoned ones tend to flock in our direction, why I dont know, we're obviously not shellin out cash. Probably curiosity, stripper B wants to know why stripper A would spend so much time with someone without making any $$$. Some strippers peep the hustle, see it work a few times, and assume that the dances are actually being paid for. This is good b/c they might come behind your last victim looking to cash in on what they think is the gravy train, and become your latest victim instead. There are good nights and bad nights, but more often than not I can go on the road and steal one from the home team, especially if theyre playin alot of rookies. In Miami, Coco's, Take One, Angels etc are great places to sharpen and use your game. Diamonds, not so much, there they have an all star team with lots of veteran leadership, so youve gotta be at the top of your game to come outta there with a win.

seven pounds.



IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE SKIP THIS BLOG!



You know I usually don't do movie reviews, because I see too many movies, have a weird taste in movies and I look into different aspects of movies. But if you havent seen Seven Pounds yet, you are missing out. We all have seen it and its things in this movie that made me want to blog. The main thing that caught my eye is the love for oneself, but not for himself. In this movie, Will Smith's character (Tim Thomas) knew his suicide was upon himself, but he knew he just couldn't let himself die, he had to do something bigger. Therefore he helped lives that were in need of help and well worth deserving the help. He realized that the love for himself and his life was gone so why not spread it to someone else that will cherish it more than you.

Minimal shit.
- Jellyfish BEEN cool. Yall niggas are late.
- Rosario Dawson was the finest sick bitch I ever seen in my life, but wasn't the finest woman in the movie.
- White lies don't hurt sometimes.
- Speaking spanish is necessary in today's world.
- IRS agents have too much power.
- Nursing homes are scary.
- Will Smith will play the older Obama in the biopic.
- I will still text while I drive.
- I am officially a donor now.
- It is a known fact that once you die your body is filled with embalming fluid and all your body parts are placed at the foot of your casket. Why not pass your body parts long when you die?

i-n.

PS-Im seeing this movie five times.

cool kids.




Since coming back from Greensboro, NC to Lanham, MD there are many differences. The cost of living is obviously cheaper in the south and the fast pace life of the metro area isn't fueled by college students like Greensboro. And in Greensboro, there are a few clubs, but nothing is compared to the DC club scene except for other large markets like LA or Miami. Now in this club scene, you see women of all colors, creeds, cultures and backgrounds. But one consistent fact that remains in ALL of these women are the "cool" factor. 98% of the girls in the club have to look a certain way, walk a certain, etc. All showing that they are "cooler" than the rest or "flyer" than the rest. Ladies, trust me, every man loves a woman that is confident within themselves and carries themselves well, but BEING COOL 24/7 IS NOT COOL. In NC, girls are more laid back and confident through there personality, not just through there outer appearance. Thats exactly how I found my beautiful girlfriend (lol). I feel girls "back home" are more picky and focus too much on looks. Now I'm not ugly and I don't have a problem pulling the BEST of them, but there are times when my mans are unrightfully turned down when just based off looks/style/SWAGGER (don't get me started) alone. Thats that bullshit, but whatever. All I'm asking is for you to take off your cool. Bat your eyes, take a chance and DANCE! If you feel otherwise, and your happy where you at in life stay cool my fair lady. Now this blog wouldn't be fair if I didn't share any light on the fellas. Fellas take off your cool too. Stop paying attention to the guy next to you and let the small shit go. Yes, he bumped you on accident and yes, he stepped on your shoes on accident, let that shit go. Be cool 3000! And when in the club atmosphere, you must realize that just because you seen Jeezy on WorldStarHipHip.com have hoes run to him doesn't mean the same will happen to you. The club scene is not a hip hop video. In conclusion, I just want you guys and gals to check out an old hip hop video, like mid 90s. Any random one. People were having pure fun in there and just living in the moment. I feel like in the area people want to be the moment instead of living it. But o well, to each is own.

Now that we are HERE, here are five burning questions that kill me when I think about Barack Obama's presidency?

1. If elected (Once elected for the cocky people) will be assassinated?

JFK was. Martin was. All the leaders that wanted to make an extreme change in America suddenly were obsolete. Now comes Barack. Promising change and a new America. Only time will tell.

2. If elected and his presidency doesn't live up to expectations, will the media and people rip him apart?

Well I believe Obama has the people in the palm of his hands but as far as the media goes thats another story. Obama has made plenty of promises and his to do list is looking quite large. And if the media doesn't see immediate moves expect a slaying of his name. Barack is a wholesome, well-spoken gentlemen, but the media is an unforgiving monster and no matter the race, gender, creed or income they will do as they may.

3. At this point, has Barack earned the right to be on the Mt. Rushmore of Black Leaders (i.e. - Martin, Malcolm, Jesse & Garvey)?

I believe so. The biggest difference between the four I mentioned is that Barack is living in a different time period. Those past leaders were trying to unite blacks and blacks with whites. In today's society, Barack is trying to unite all races and ethnic backgrounds. He is not jus redefining Black America, but America as well.

4. Will Hip Hop hurt Barack's presidency campaign?

From Nas' "Black President" to Young Jeezy's "My President is Black", emcess have been spitting some hard lyrics to support Obama's campaign trail, but I think they need to hold the horses. On Ludacris' "The Preview" Mixtape he refers to Hilary as a bitch and McCain as an old man. Even though the lyrics might support the eyes and ears of Hip Hop, if the media and McCain's campaign gain that evidence, they could always reword it to make it look like Obama was in the video for it. I suggest all rappers to put the mics down til the parade and then you can come congratulate our newest President with your hottest 16.

5. Will he win?
thou shall be KING.

tarnished trophy.


"Don't you, ever, get too, comfortable" -babyface.

The love is in the air. The relationship is even stronger. And after all the bullshit from the past year or so, you guys are still together. But one circumstance that lies in a mans mind while with his lady over an extended period of time is her dress code. Now you (ladies) are comfortable in the relationship. Paying no mind to it, I notice ladies feel as though they don't as much effort into there outer appearance as the relationship goes on. Meaning, the heels are only for club use now and the freekum dress is only pulled out for one of your girlfriend's birthdays. Therefore, it leaves us (men) going out on dates with women in wifebeaters, baby tees & sweats. Now I am not asking you to put on a sundress and pumps when going to Wal-Mart, but just take into account that when out with your man man, you are his trophy, his star and his sun. So why not let that sun shine? In black love, all we have is each other, so why not treat me like its the first date and make my mind wonder?

love-peace&hairgrease.

gold rush.


We are thirty three days away from the presentation of medals for men's basketball at the Beijing Olympics. There you will find Team USA. Headed by Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, this somewhat undersized team will be accepting there gold medals and singing the national anthem. Most will be hiding tears and all will be overjoyed in this feat. Considering that the USA hasn't won a world tournament since 2000. But you know all the facts, you know all the players and know the feats they will face. There is no need for me to breakdown the thoughts lingering in peoples minds about this team. Yes, we should have added more size and yes, we might be smaller than anyone else. But without a doubt, this is the most talented and athletic team ever assembled. The question is how much and by how many. This team will win, but may get hit with a few small speed bumps. But in the end, there will be tears of joy and a bunch of "I tol you so's."


EXHIBITION TV SCHEDULE

7/31 - v. Turkey @ 8am on ESPN2 & re-airs @ 8pm on ESPN2

phase chasers.


"Im just waiting to wake up from this dream" -cupcake.

You can talk to her for hours. You miss her as soon as she leaves. And when the grown up is done, the grown up is DONE. The infatuation phase might be the best phase in the converting friends into lovers. To me the phase is very blinding though. At this part of the relationship, even though its not a certified nor exclusive, all you notice is the good things. The bad things seem to be irrelevant due to us being young, black and alone we seem to cling to one another. Even though they may smack when they eat or be a constant phone checker, these slight things are nothing in the infatuation phase. The lust is deep and the love looks to be real, but is it a figment of our imagination or isn't it? That is the question we must ask when any of us falls head over heels for a new fling. Is this a summer fling that will grow into winter love just to be split into a spring break? Love has many tricks and turns, but one thing for certain is that the new found infatuation in meeting a new being will be there. Its always good to think optimistic, but then there are times were you need to be pessimistic. Black love is beautiful, but sometimes can be blinded to be black lust if the sex is overwhelming and the physical attraction is fatal. Listen to your mind, but trust your heart ladies and gentlemen. The infatuation phase is a motherfucker.

NOTE: Fellas I suggest you do background checks, credit card checks and ask around about a female before claiming anything.

tomato, tomato.

"you gon miss me when Im gone" -hova.




She had such a distinct taste. We've all been enjoying her fresh taste since we were kids. Some say shes even a fruit. Some say shes a vegetable. To me shes everything. The other day I ordered a Chicken Tendercrisp from Burger King (imo-the best chicken sandwich in the world) and within the first bite I realized a difference. The chicken was done, the lettuce was fresh and the buns were buns. But aside form the obvious, my favorite fast food sandwich was missing the tomatoes. Never mentioned into the spotlight, never received great credit, but here today I am. The tomato might be the greatest the role player in sandwich history. Yes-everybody didn't love her and yes-the ones that did never really appreciated her. But this blog was made for her. I love you tomato and get well soon.
