The Experiment

After letting it sit on my Netflix instant queue for months, I finally decided to watch this movie. Why? Because Spartacus is actin’ up and toying with my emotions. Anyway, if you’re into psychological thrillers, check it out.

Here’s what really made me post this. Have you ever watched a movie and thought that the actor played his/her role a little bit too well? That’s how I felt about Forest Whitaker in this movie. I’m convinced in real life, as supposed to fake life, the man is out of his mind. I mean walk backwards and converse with oxygen out of his mind. Either that or he deserves a few more awards.

Real Man…

Since I started following blogs about a year ago, I’ve come across several “Real Men…” posts. Long posts preaching to insecure men about what a real man does or does not do. It’s getting tired. Any dick with a keyboard and internet access can list how they go about life and swear that’s what a real man does. Act like it’s gospel when it’s really all bullshit with a pocket full of expensive words.

There’s no intricate list on what real men do. It’s just basic principles. Take care of ALL your responsibilities, know right from wrong, and stay true to yourself and what you believe in. Very simple and coincidentally a “real woman” follows the same principles. Easy.

Why Black Women Are Less Physically Attractive…

Don’t shoot me, it wasn’t my idea. If you aren’t familiar with this title, the latest internet buzz is a controversial article from Psychology Today titled, “Why Black Women Are Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women.” It has since been pulled, however, you can read it here.

When I first saw the title I didn’t immediately produce a generic response such as, “Damn that’s Ignorant!” I’ve unfortunately been desensitized by several ridiculous “Black people are less…” articles. Most of which aren’t even worthy of being called articles. This time around I admit I was a little surprised someone with a PhD even wrote about such a shallow subject, but was looking forward to reading the supporting scientific facts.

Belt Ceremony

It’s only 4:30pm, but I feel like it’s going on 8. I’ve been running around all morning long and finally the day is over for me. Well, my responsibilities for the day are over I should say. I can now exercise my right to do absolutely nothing and have fun doing it.

My last event for the day was my nephew’s belt ceremony. He’s now a green belt, watch out 2nd graders. The most interesting part of the ceremony was the demonstration at the end. The instructors broke wood planks, cement blocks, and baseball bats.

I, being someone who lacks “chi” and appreciates non-broken bones, would never try such a thing. I’m not scared or anything, I’m just not crazy either.
