Yo quiero Taco Hell...

Well 50, you might get your possible revenge....?

That's riiiiiiight, finally someone is attempting to prove my theory that the mess Taco Bell (or as I refer to them as Taco Hell) sells is not really beef.

A law suit has been set for against them, no they have not been proven guilty and if this suit is thrown out, please believe, it is still horrible meet.  They use the lowest grade of beef, Grade D.

Why do you think your tacos are $.99???

Kids to Hell or Go to Jail?

Where are the "Mr. Jaime Escalante" teachers when ya need em?...

School vouchers. Vouchers, for those are able to receive them, help families in need, who are unable to afford a better education for their teens. But they also, arguably, are a temporary fix to a broken system and do not go to directly to the source of the problem; the broken school system.
Tough choice of morale, indeed.

Now comes a desperate mother wanting the best for her children, at least that is what we can assume since they live in the Projects in Akron, Ohio. Well known for its impoverished areas.

The law is the law, right? She tricked the system that was failing her, so she should be jailed, right?

I don't know....

The deadly sin of Burgers ~ The Luther

We are all doomed but at least we will have smiles on our faces....both a service and disservice to the late and great Luther Vandross...

The Luther was recently rated the number 1 burger in America. No, obesity is NOT a problem in this country, sike!  I can't remember the last time I saw children playing outside after Christmas with their new toys.  I remember when my parents would not let me come inside until it got dark on any given day.  What happen to parents forcing their kids to play outside and get some exercise?

I am not going on a rant, I am sure most of yall get the picture...

Funny Friday: They'll probably make a law for this too...

Texting while walking, nuff said folks.... ah but wait, apple may have saved the day! >> solution

Effective Barbershops: A Dying Breed?..

The good ole barbershop; the home away from home for annoyed husbands, the underground neighborhood retail store, the place where any man can freely express his opinion and have discussions on just about anything.

Remember when haircuts were just 10 dollars? I know those of the older generation can remember when it was 3-5 dollars. Now 16 dollars is considered a steal deal. I will use the cliche phrase "in the economy", barbershops can not efficiently run their shops on the prices we all used to know but I have noticed something as the prices have risen quality of some of the barbershops have gone down, well at least in my opinion.

So Kev, why not just cut your own hair?

Funny you'd ask. I definitely would have no problem in doing it myself and believe, over a short time period, could learn to do a great job.

BUT, I see going to the barbershops as a sound investment in the community. Very often barbershops and salons are at the center of the community. Involving themselves as sponsors for local businesses, little league athletics ect. Lately its been hard to find the good ole barbershops these days. You know the ones where they have the one elder man who shares stories and offers an abundances of conventional wisdom and experience to the youth... Don't see none of that really too much. But the baby boomers of the world won't live forever.. Understanding they have a business to run, shops have become more efficient in doing things by appointment instead the good ole walk-ins. But that doesn't leave much room sometimes for people to sit around and discuss/argue the ill and deals of the community and world.

Maybe it's just me... I'm what you may call, "old school at heart" type of man. So I appreciate the nostalgic idiosyncrasies brought forth by those who have been here for a while.

Aiight those are my randoms thoughts, just got the fresh cut...I'm out

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2011 IS HERE AND YOU MADE IT! I truly thank for God for allowing me to make another calendar year with all the up, downs, struggles and rewards of life. I say that with no regret. My year was truly prosperous and I continue to pray that my fam and friends continue to prosper as well.

"Rap Up 2010" feat. Skillz
And what better way to open up the year 2011 than with the ghostwriter and my hometown hip hop representative, S-K-I-Double L-Z!
