European researchers revealed that the use of cell phones right before sleep can cause insomnia, leaving you with minor headaches, and very fatigued the next morning. As reported several years ago by research, the use of a cell phone without an ear piece generates heavy radiation from the cell phone's signal towards the brain. This radiation sometimes can cause internal damage depending on the frequency of the cell phone usage. Teenagers, and children are more at risk because their brains aren't fully developed. Any extensive radiation can cause the brain to alter in it's development. I've always been curious as to how many brain tumors will be diagnosed in the future due to the massive radiation created by cell phone usage. Research can't provide us with proper statistics because 20 years ago cell phones were almost obsolete - leaving research to lack major consistent patterns. I guess we'll all find out sooner or later....when our fitted caps are awkwardly leaning towards one side without a desperate attempt to cool, but to hide the lump growing uncontrollably out the tip of our foreheads.

In 2009 Miami will revolutionize the way law enforcement is introduced to teenagers by opening a high school completely geared towards homicide investigations, patrols, and even corrections. Unlike most conventional high schools applicants (students) will be on an "invite only" request. After graduating many students will go on to pursue law enforcement directly after high school. This $35.4 million facility will house the city of Miami's police academy as well.

...Speaking of police, 2008 has been a deadly year for law enforcement. Already 13 police officers have died in the line of duty. Statically a police officer is killed every 58 hours. The numbers don't lie. The story (1/16/2008) that sticks out the most to me is the story of Eric Barker, and Ricky Bryant Jr. These two young African American cops in Atlanta were doing a routine shake down on a suspected thief and drug dealer when another man approached them in an ambush - killing both at point blank range. It's reported that this act of violence was partially random, and there was no real motive. Both men leave behind 4 children each.

Tonight I watched President Bush's 7th and final State of the Union Address. I usually watch with a bit of skepticism while pointing out the obvious mispronunciations - it's my way of keeping focus on the task at hand. If you've ever watched one of these Presidential State of The Union Addresses by Bush then you know a lot of his mumbo jumbo is repetitive. However tonight I must admit he did pretty good job of boosting America's morale. His talks of future plans for Iraq were somewhat boring but his patriotic views on defending our country reflect his cowboyage antics in a very condescending way, leaving the average middle class American household very pleased. Tonight Bush addressed the nation as if 9/11 happened all over again. He reminded Americans that the war is far from over, and "we won't stop, until we defeat the enemy." Bush even demanded that congress approve an additional 30 billion dollars to help fight HIV/AIDs in Africa. Right when he demanded the new proposal the camera man zoomed into a black woman holding her baby, while the subtext read: "African Nurse." I found this camera shot to be somewhat corny on the producers part. It's almost like the producers were trying to buy America's sympathy. A quick glance at international medical statistics would reveal that a 10 second camera shot of a mother holding her sick child is extremely unnecessary. What I found even more shocking during the speech is how the Democrats applauded and stood on their feet joining the Republicans; that's something extremely rare these days in Congress. It's sad that it took 8 years for President Bush to deliver a speech so good that even the Democrats approved of it. Bush has definitely had a rough Presidential career but with a speech like one he's definitely gaining some points. Too often Americans complain about how stupid Bush is, kinda makes you think what other countries think of us. If Bush is stupid then what does that say about America? Remember this is a country that ELECTS their president from a number of qualified candidates based on a popular vote.

As I've said in the past, I'm not a fan of hair weave. That includes; micros, extensions, buns, custom mohawks, etc. Truthfully speaking most guys don't care that the hair consumed by their significant other came from a horse, or another woman's scalp. Then again those are the same guys who value gold grills, 2way pagers, and idolise souljah boy. Not me - I rather rub a bald head, than groom a detachable wig. Whatever happen to being satisfied with what God blessed you with. I think the media, and Beyonce have equally tarnished the minds of so many well deserving wife material candidates. Big shout out to all the women out there who don't wear weave. To the Puerto Rican mamis with the straight hair, to Mexican dimes who rock the wet draping hair, to my Black queens who keep it simple wit the shoulder length natural wraps, I appreciate you for "keeping it real." This is not say I won't settle for less (from time to time), hell even I make exceptions.

I'm not saying Jamie Foxx is HIV positive, but I'AM SAYING HE'S DEFINITELY starting to look like Samuel L Jackson.........if Samuel L Jackson was HIV positive.

I always believe some ladies should leave a little bit more to the imagination, Victoria's Secrets isn't for everybody. Sometimes a brown paper bag, and vodka is all the fantasy you need.

There's one thing to be big, black, and beautiful, but to be big, black, and flamboyant can be a bit much.

Flava of Love is returning for it's final season. I've looked at pictures of all the new contestants, and for Flavs sake he's better off picking this horse (actual contestant). She looks like one hell of a ride.

Final Thought: I read recently that 80% of all questions are statements in disguise. I think People hide behind questions to dumb down the importance of the statement. This is usually my cue to play stupid and pretend the question is absolutely rhetorical. Try it, it works.
