Check out the wikipedia scanner, which traces the IP addresses of article editors, providing information that can sometimes indicate if an editor isn't exactly as objective as one might hope....
It was with great disappointment that I learned about the financial difficulties that the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera is experiencing. I am a lover of the arts, having sung with one or more choral groups most of the last...
I just learned about a case of segregation-era oppression happening today in Jena, Louisiana. I signed onto ColorOfChange.org's campaign for justice in Jena, and wanted to invite you to do the same. http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=2177-234231 Last fall in Jena, the day after two Black...
"It's more than a general dumbing down of America--the lack of self-motivated thinking: clear, creative thinking. It's like you're happy for other people to think for you. If you should be worried about, say, global warming, well, somebody in Washington...
ahh, the morning air often filled with the smell of koch's processed chickens while stepping over broken glass and weeds, listening to the sounds of construction/renovation... the progress... the morning walk to battle academy with the boys... and my...
Lately, I have been trying to figure out what God's will is for me. I keep waking up and living through another day. Everyone is moving on and going places while I am running in a pool just...

Ever since my sister moved to Georgia, we have been getting lots of use out of Skype. She decided to use it as her primary phone since she was having problems getting a land line. The added benefit of her...
My sister saw today's DFF and asked some good questions. Well, I just uploaded the rest of the pictures from that evening to Flickr and here for your viewing pleasure is the play by play of Fuller's "gump" off the...
Well, not just now, because it's been that way for a while. But I'm big enough to admit that, when Hugo Chávez first became the popularly elected President of Venezuela, I excused his past coup attempt and fell for...
Dichotomy Series: Tender/ToughThese are two in a series of 8 at this point. There is quite a bit of dialogue between the pieces. Boxers, wrestlers and reclining figures....
Thought I would post an update on baby #3 since I just got back from the high risk this morning. All seems to be well, which is great- obviously. :) It's been a long time since I had a scan so...
Damon and I were chatting last night and he pointed out another interesting part of how our day turned out on Tuesday. Marylu invited us to dinner, but about 20 minutes before we left, the power in our house went...
It would be hard not to argue that the last generation or so of parents may be the worst parents in US history. Teens in America use drugs and their parents are clueless and/or don't care. What's most telling is that...
Fellas, this is sad. From CNN: The number of soldiers who committed suicide increased 15 percent from 2005 to 2006, according to an Army report. The Army plans to release the data publicly on Thursday, CNN learned from Army officials. The numbers...
I did not originally envision to write a blog. Comparatively speaking, as I have scanned the blogsphere, I have not found many blogs written by young black men chiefly concerning hip hop culture. Still, I suppose it would be only...
After this past weekend our bedroom is no longer yellow. We've been brainstorming since we moved about what art to hang above our headboard. I wanted something gigantic to fill the space, but Amber liked a simpler approach. The solution:...
