Marijuana Dealers Shout "Treachery" As Youth Meth Addictions Rises Steadily

I was watching a TV segment by a sex therapist on heterosexual friendships. It immediately had my attention because I, my self have been in several heterosexual friendships; via post-dating, or old childhood friends. The therapist said it's very unlikely, if not totally impossible for a straight female, and straight male to interact within a friendship without some type of physical or emotional attraction between at least one counterpart. Sure in the beginning things can be completely innocent, and somewhat neutral - but according to the therapist it's only human nature for this situation to change and become a flirtatious battleground within the friendship. In most cases theres gender asymmetry that is fueled by the time invested in the friendship. Males become more dominant; demanding answers about current marital status, sexual habits, etc. In contrast females shadow their emotions, until her male counterpart brings his significant other into the picture - then at that point emotions fly. So the next time your significant other says "he/she' is just a friend" you might not want to look the other way. I DEFINITELY WON'T!

World Aids cases are down 70% this year. It's speculated that there are over 30 million people infected with HIV, however that number is extremely low considering the last census taken last year. Critics claim the data is questionable because of the significant drop, however all over the world especially in the African American community - "any good news is a great news." Now I know this information is inspiring to many, in fact several of you will probably go have unprotected sex tonight just based upon this data - unfortunately statistics say 1 out of every 5 of you will be infected if not this evening definitely sometime in the future. Scary huh? What's even more scary is the progress for a vaccine to cure the virus, read this insert from over 23 years ago.

"We hope to have a vaccine ready for testing in about two years," Margaret Heckler, the secretary of Health and Human Services, said during a 1984 news conference announcing the discovery of the virus the causes AIDS

....Wow, I wasn't even born when that statement was released. Since then there has been only ONE public case of someone beating the virus, Magic Johnson. Offtopic: Have you notice that we never hear about his wife and her status as far as the HIV virus? Sure it's a sensitive topic, but I've always questioned her status, mainly because if shes still infected with the virus then can't he be reinfected? Those two mofos better not be holding back any secret cures, or remedies. Let a brother know, I could market that product to the masses. It'll be like cocaine in the 80s......I'm talking major money. Magic holla at me!

Months after the spectacle that has become the Jena 6 phenom, there are still many supporters. Good to see the supporters have no racial barriers.

Recently I pulled some strings and managed to obtain rap star, Rick Ross work schedule.

Public Service Announcement: even monkeys wipe their asses.

Today's LiT Monkey Moment: Looks like Sean Kingston is living the America dream - by spending all his money in one place.

I just got done tying Angelo's tie for his interview with the FBI (11/20/2007). Seeing him embark on such an incredible path, is like watching my only son that made it. Except that son is 2 years older than me, with a child of his own. Awkward huh? Good luck son (photo taken in 2001 in Angelo's basement).

Earlier while watching TV, one of those meth commercials came on. The commercial starts when some girl ends up in what appears to be a meth house, and everyone in the house is high on meth. She promises her self shes only gonna do it once, then images of some guy and his face (that appears to be pealing, and numerous cuts) pop up on the screen, he's obviously been addicted to the drug for quite a while. The commercial ends with her doing meth (I think). The commercials seem a bit too gruesome for it's young demographic that the writers are trying to target. It's a way to get the message through without completely scaring the crap out of the viewer. I would hate for my younger sister to catch that commercial at 10PM in the room all alone. Results wouldn't be good. However, I guess the government is taking a "whatever it takes" stance on drug abuse. Here at LiT we don't endorse drug use, just say no!

Final Thought: It's about that time of the year to start thinking about New Years Resolutions. For me, I want to train my mouth not to use extensive vulgarity. Over the years I've established a shitty potty mouth. There's a quote in a old barbershop of mine - "bad language is a strong expression of a weak mind." I'm not going to pull a Russel Simmons and try to totally censor my bad language, but a 50% cut would be progress. Alright, see you fuckers later! Oops.
