“Perceptions & Expectations Of Today’s Black Man”
A few weeks ago I had the honor of being invited on a panel of men to speak on a number issues facing Black men today. Hosted by the good Dr. Vibes it was a spirited 2+ hour session. The panel has now been made available for replay and download. So hop over to the online home of the Dr Vibe Show and check it out.
Thanks to all of you for the support I received to do this.

Kid Countdown
Yup, I have to admit it, as time passes on, the thought of family, kids and when to start do creep into my mind. And having hit the 30 mark I know if I'm going to do it then It'll be sooner rather then later. In truth I'm not really in a "rush". My dad had me at 30, so if I'm 2-3 yrs off of that mark then I can live with that. Keep the fitness up and the health right to be there for my kids through their youth. It's interesting cuz the other part of the equation, the female counterpart is really where the "issues" would arise. Me and my boys have chatted about this that many of the women we know are basically the same age as us and as a result many are in that clock watching phase. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Those that just want kids but could care less for marriage. Those like me how want both.
I've seen many of my classmates from high school and college have their kids, get their marriage on, etc,etc. I guess that time eventually creeps up on everyone. We'll see. I have this year pegged as one for MAJOR progress personally in a few areas that need be improved before I can be a husband or father to anyone. That's way too serious for me to rush yet I'm aware that time isn't a luxury anymore......

Future Father Thoughts: Ties....
Another new wrinkle that you'll see on the BLVD are Future Father Thoughts. Its pretty self explanatory. And no I'm not expecting to become a dad anytime soon. But I am just thinking more about it. I'm almost a decade removed for graduating college so I'm pretty sure I'm closer to fatherhood then college life.
Anyway, as I hear or read about the demise of the black father, I know that I personally will LOVE to be a dad and the idea of not being there for my child just doesn't exist in my way of thinking. One of those Father to Son moments I look forward to is teaching by boy to tie a tie properly. I remember getting ready for church every Sunday morning and going to my dad to complete the process by doing my tie. Until I came to him one Saturday and asked him to show me how to do. The next day all he had to do was straighten it a lil bit for me but from then one I've been good. It was funny that yrs later at my high school graduation I had some of my boys asking my how to tie a tie.
It's a small thing but even thinking about it now brings a smile to my face.
