Man meets woman. Man and woman marry. Man or woman brings another into their union. Society calls it cheating. Man and woman call it happiness.
Let’s fast forward to 2010. Cheating isn’t always just cheating anymore. The new-age relationship seeker wants to maintain an interesting sense of security with one partner, but also be “free” to date others and expects their mate to feel the same. It’s the classic “have your cake and eat it too” paradigm and believe it or [...]
As a child, religion and spiritual beliefs were quite confusing in my household. My father was a born- again teenager, exploding into tantrums so many Sunday mornings that after a while, my mother just shook her head, muttered how she’d pray for his soul, and kissed him goodbye.
But my mother’s Sunday round-up and schlep to Catholic church wasn’t as Catholic as it seemed. In the basement of our house there was a private room that actually wasn’t very private at [...]
Ten young men spill into a Brooklyn bound A train late one evening. It’s a normal night in Bed-Stuy and train passengers do “normal” things when they see a mob of rowdy teenagers board - yank their children to their bosoms, hold their bags like they possess gold, and look everywhere that’s not in the direction of the noise. Normal. After all, those kids could be gang members. I mean, some are wearing red, and some blue. Don’t want anyone [...]
Entering a room and “bragging” about yourself isn’t always an easy task for some people. But networking is essential and the key to success in building business relationships.

The benefits to networking are endless. I have been awarded the opportunity to work on projects from television to [...]

It only takes one person to come in with a bogus theory and corrupt an entire country. Next you are “charged” with being something that you have no control over. Guilty of being gay? Gay isn’t a choice but according to the Ugandan government it is. The Ugandan Parliament has the church and people like Martin Ssempa to support them in their Anti Gay Rights fiasco. Their goal and mission is to kill off the gay community hence [...]

KC: Why did you decide to create bowties instead of, let’s see, a t-shirt line like most individuals your age?
RR: I just wanted to be different. I realized that everybody was making T-shirts to get to there desired designs. Fuck it, why not start with what you want. We are bringing out a line of t-shirts for future. E.B. T-shirts coming soon. Stay tuned. I guess we just did [...]
For the baby-boomer generation, the salvation from all of life’s inconsistencies was the cubicle. The front line of every social change movement started to fade, and teenage legs grew tired, especially after the death of almost every thought leader of that time. So they took shelter in millions of corkboard walls and doorless offices all over the country, only to look back and tell a tale of fearlessness to their offspring. They sacrificed their ingenuity and their gumption and bowed [...]
