Ms Simone Speaks on the "Truth"

The Word is CON·VEN·IENCE

The quality of being suitable to one's comfort, purposes, or needs: the convenience of living near shops, schools, and libraries.

Friendship should not be based on the above......

Dear White People....

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about this. The "this is not what Black people are" theme seems kind of tired to me. Only because its usually the same nonviolent, pseudo intellectual witty reply that really doesn't change anything. Violence may not be the answer either but just for my own peace of mind of LOVE to see a movie where the Black folk stop being so cool about things and start seriously reacting to the nonsense. It's 2012 and everyone knows better. Take off the kid gloves.....

Marvel And Disney Characters To Cross Over In 'Phineas And Ferb: Mission Marvel' [Video]

We knew it was coming eventually the 1st Marvel x Disney crossover was announced at Comic Con. The big crossover news from Marvel at San Diego Comic-Con was Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, a one-off special episode of the Disney Channel show that will mark the first animated crossover between Disney and Marvel properties. I have no clue what Phineas & Ferb is.....ask the kids I guess.

The Truth of "Urban" Modeling????

The following was an extended statement made on another board about Urban modeling. And having seen the strip side of the game plus the people I've personally known that have tried to get into the game a lot of his points are valid. Even today I tell those that ask me for help. "Aim for art not just ass."

Blame this chick(Main Post Image)

When you saw that, and people like Buffy the Body being put on a pedestal and lauded, that's when you knew it was a fucking race to the bottom.

Now where are we - World Star Hip Hop Bunnies are considered the echelon of Urban Modeling.

And when did we start calling it "urban modeling?" Would you call Chanel Iman an Urban Model? Tyra? What's the criteria to be an urban model?

Or is it "urban modeling" is the code word for any black chick with a fat ass, wide hips, and thick thighs who doesn't have the typical European modeling standard body type?

But why hold any illusion that "urban models" aren't strippers and escorts anyway? I guarantee you 50% of them were before they got into urban modeling game. And if they weren't, the other 25% of the remaining 50% were groupies and club rats putting out to get put on. And then many, they take their urban modeling fame and go what - go become the featured dancer in a video shaking their ass and tits.

"Urban Models" are a different breed. They're not like models in the typical sense. They're not modeling clothes, or being the face of a make-up brand, or shoes , no, they're modeling their FAT ASSES, THICK THIGHS, BIG BREAST, and WIDE HIPS. They want to be noted for having the rounded this - the biggest that - the prettiest those.

It's PG-13 porn, so why suddenly the "oh no, we've gone to far - we need to clean it up" stance. Like I said, we were headed to the bottom anyway... so don't fight gravity, just enjoy the ride down my man.

Funny how Jet magazine successfully ran its Beauty of the Week page for 40+ years and never had a problem with advertisers or keeping things acceptable.

Urban modeling has managed to create its own cancerous demise in about 10.

So let it implode on itself like a dying star in a glorious blackhole sucking in all the trash and putrid shit that spawned from it when it shined brightly just before going nova.

Then we can start anew and fresh, and do it the right way.

Here's another link speaking on the need to improve the modeling game for those focused on it from an "urban" perspective.

16 Commandments of the Nana

This is an interesting piece. It's not as bad as I thought it would be and to be perfectly honest U agree 100% with number III.

III. You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority

Forget all those romantic cliches of the leading man proclaiming his undying love for the woman who completes him. Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be “The One” or the center of a man’s existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.

As I man I've said before that in convo that even the future mother of my children and wife will not be my everything. The majority and top priority yes but NOT my everything. Lines like that sound good but for me I have to be more honest in letting a person understand where they stand in my life.

Anyway, here's the first 5.Hit the jump for the full list.
The Sixteen Commandments Of Poon

by Roissy

I. Never say ‘I Love You’ first

Women want to feel like they have to overcome obstacles to win a man’s heart. They crave the challenge of capturing the interest of a man who has other women competing for his attention, and eventually prevailing over his grudging reluctance to award his committed exclusivity. The man who gives his emotional world away too easily robs women of the satisfaction of earning his love. Though you may be in love with her, don’t say it before she has said it. Show compassionate restraint for her need to struggle toward yin fulfillment. Inspire her to take the leap for you, and she’ll return the favor a thousandfold.

II. Make her jealous

Flirt with other women in front of her. Do not dissuade other women from flirting with you. Women will never admit this but jealousy excites them. The thought of you turning on another woman will arouse her sexually. No girl wants a man that no other woman wants. The partner who harnesses the gale storm of jealousy controls the direction of the relationship.

III. You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority

Forget all those romantic cliches of the leading man proclaiming his undying love for the woman who completes him. Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be “The One” or the center of a man’s existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.

IV. Don’t play by her rules

If you allow a woman to make the rules she will resent you with a seething contempt even a rapist cannot inspire. The strongest woman and the most strident feminist wants to be led by, and to submit to, a more powerful man. Polarity is the core of a healthy loving relationship. She does not want the prerogative to walk all over you with her capricious demands and mercurial moods. Her emotions are a hurricane, her soul a saboteur. Think of yourself as a bulwark against her tempest. When she grasps for a pillar to steady herself against the whipping winds or yearns for an authority figure to foil her worst instincts, it is you who has to be there… strong, solid, unshakeable and immovable.

V. Adhere to the golden ratio

Give your woman 2/3 of everything she gives you. For every three calls or texts, give her two back. Three declarations of love earn two in return. Three gifts; two nights out. Give her two displays of affection and stop until she has answered with three more. When she speaks, you reply with fewer words. When she emotes, you emote less. The idea behind the golden ratio is twofold — it establishes your greater value by making her chase you, and it demonstrates that you have the self-restraint to avoid getting swept up in her personal dramas. Refraining from reciprocating everything she does for you in equal measure instills in her the proper attitude of belief in your higher status. In her deepest loins it is what she truly wants.

What was Chivalry really???

A professor back in college explained chivalry like this.

During the middle ages, chivalry was a GAME that the military nobility made up to play with the noblewomen at court. It was never designed to be taken seriously, or literally.

First off, the whole chivalrous GAME had nothing to do with sex. An officer/nobleman had the ability (hell, even the right) to take sex from any lower class woman that he wanted, any time that he wanted. So, if he needed sex, he could get it. However, for an officer/nobleman to be caught screwing a noble woman could have disastrous (possibly career-ending or life-ending) consequences for both parties, as well as for their families. For all intents and purposes, the noble women at court were untouchable, unless the nobleman married them. And marriages at court were not done for love. They were more like corporate mergers between two noble houses.

So you have noblemen, who are getting their sexual needs met elsewhere, but who still have to be around and interact with these untouchable women on a daily basis (women who will one day be their wives). Then you have the noblewomen who, being women, still want to flirt with and get attention from the men around them. So the men created the GAME called chivalry. They started with the simple human mating game, where a male performs certain actions designed to garner the attention and favor of a female (for example: complementing some facet of her appearance, or performing a service for her), in order to obtain the reward of procreation. Then they would see who could draw out those favor-inducing actions to the farthest and most ridiculous degree, and also, who could do so for the smallest and most insignificant of rewards. So you have men writing incredibly long, flowery poems to women, where they wax on ad-nauseum about her great and wonderful beauty, all so that they can ask to be allowed to present her with a rose Or you have men performing complex tasks for some noblewoman all for the reward of being able to carry her favor (ie: her handkerchief). Chivalry was a GAME played by a group of bored men, designed to allow them to interact with a group of untouchable women in a way that would: (1) not get them killed or broken in rank, and (2) would not alienate or offend the very small group of women from whom their wife would eventually be chosen.

Interesting how things change and evolve......that something that people say is now dead may not have even originally been intended to be anything more then a game.

Nas, Summer night in the hood.......

Here's the question. The legend Nas goes back to Queens Bridge, is it showing "love to the hood" or an example of keeping it real going wrong?
