"I believe in the training of children Black even as white; the leading out of little souls into the green pastures and beside the still waters, not for pelf or peace, but for Life lit by some large vision of beauty and goodness and truth; lest we forget, and the sons of the fathers, like Esau, for mere meat barter their birthright in a mighty nation."

It is my opinion, that Janet Jackson in "Pleasure Principle" is the dopest.Really.Yeah, "Love Will Never Do" was good..."Anytime, Any Place" was sexy on a higher level...But for me, where that intersection, that confluence, of sexuality + innocence + optimism all meet, really took place within the presentation of the "Pleasure Principle" video.

I've had this idea floating around in my head for just under 2 years now....Womenfolks,Have you ever met a guy and very soon afterwards(1-2 conversations or dates) you realized that it wasn't going to go anywhere further with him and you?And, when this happened, you didn't know HOW to break the news to him? You're in that fresh, gray area of things where not much work/time has been invested but

Seduction happens when two people attempt to lure the other across an imaginary line that has been pre-determined by society at large that they should not cross. Much like a few biblical characers and other assorted historical figures, power can come into play. But in regards to seduction, this power is not based on some social position held by one of the parties involved to take advantage of the

The best compliments that I ever got was from one of my best friends. He said that my "friend maintenance" was top-notch and that it made him optimistic that he would be able to maintain the friendships from earlier in his life just like his own father had been able to do with his college buddies. Inside it took me back a bit. I was shocked! I really didn't know HOW to respond to such a statement

Going through drills an, working on plays and letting everybody know what to look for and how to respond to what we might be facing against that week's opponent.

Ever notice how Spike Lee uses jazz in his movies?This composition is originally from Miles Davis' collaboration with Gil Evans called "Sketches of Spain" where the duo utilizes a Spanish theme throughout the album. Apparently jazz listeners and intellects thought it was not Jazz at all. Since the playing and instrumentation is not as improvisational it was lacking in one of the main tenets of

I always enjoy listening to the Saturday Night Dusty Stepper set on V-103 with Casper as the DJ. He plays some deep in the crate classics that have me jammin while en route somewhere. Its an odd way to pre-game, but I have to do what's good for me. Just this past weekend, I heard this on the radio. The last 2 minutes are what I love best.

All praises to Raymond "Mouse" Alexander....Ever since I saw the movie adaptation to "Devil In a Blue Dress", there has been an icon in my heart for this chracter from Walter Mosely's Easy Rawlins series. Especially after how he was expertly portrayed by Don Cheadle in the movie. Seeing the movie recently also got me thinking about the people that I consider to be a friend. An oldhead once said "

When the great storyteller, and Negro League player/historian, Buck O'Neill passed away, in one of the obituaries there was a story about how him and some friends were walking down the street. As they kept walking, they noticed after a while that Buck wasn't with them anymore. He had stopped walking with them about half a block back to talk to a woman wearing a red dress. Come to find out, Buck

"I'm So Glad" is a marching band staple! Its the "Round Midnight" of HBCUs and High Schools across the country, I swear. I first heard it during high school being played by one of our rivals. It pissed me off that we couldn't afford a marching band until junior year(Chicago Public Schools at the time had some serious broke issues)!!! Nothing says "inferior" more than losing to your rival school

CONGRATULATIONS for going into the Naismith Hall of Fame!!!!!J.A. Adande has a great write-up on Pip here which, in my opinion, makes him out to be the patron saint of Beta Personality fellas, worldwide. Then again, we are all 2nd tier habitants when paired with the likes of Michael Jordan...

I found this photo in the Time Life archives that's now on the Google website. The pix that they have of the school during the 1930s and 1940s are really interesting to look at when you have some free time. Just type "Howard University" in the search field....
