Greetings Good People, I just finished reading a book entitled Tough Notes: A Healing Call For Creating Exceptional Black Men, and I wanted to share my thoughts.

Greetings All, Given the times that we’re living in, it’s always nice to have a place that you can go to rejuvenate and regain a peace of a mind. It might be your home, backyard, favorite restaurant, bookstore, nightclub, who knows. One thing’s for certain, by the time you leave, the troubles of the day…

Greetings Everyone, In a previous post, the topic of marriage and its current value in the new millennium was discussed. The main argument was that only half of Americans are married and 40% of unmarried adults believe marriage has now become obsolete. Well, this recently led me to start questioning the value of family, more…

“Children are ultimately born to the community because they will influence the nature of the community. If the children that are born in the community are self-hating, have problems with their identity, or self-controlled or destructive and so forth, you will see a community that will fall apart, a community that is at odds with…

After we finished eating, instead of getting dessert from the restaurant, he suggested that we pay a visit to a bakery he knew wouldn’t disappoint. By the time we got home from the bakery, I felt like today had been my birthday,…

Well, no.” – Professor William A. Darity Jr. Antonio Moore from ToneTalks first introduced me to the…
Dream Fury Comics
Greetings All, Ever since I saw Frank Miller’s Sin City, my interest in comic books has been somewhat of a roller coaster. I’ll start one but then stop, and I won’t pick it back up again until months later. Well, divine intervention recently led me to a webcomic that has me borderline obsessed. The series, entitled Crescent…
The World In 2050

The estimated population will be 9 billion and with the advancement of technology, one could only imagine what society will be like. Fossil fuel and Energy were two hot-button topics that stood out…
Extinction
Greetings Good People, I posed a question in a previous post about the necessity of living and working outside of planet earth—with the evolution of technology, that conversation no longer seems like a far-fetched illusion. Based on the research I’ve been doing, particularly on the treatment of the planet, leaving might become the only option…

Greetings Folks, Do you remember the 2013 film Elysium, starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster? The premise centered around a falling Earth, where the rich are separated from the poor by way of a space station floating along the Earth’s orbit.

“When a disease goes so far and we just can’t figure out what’s going on, a nice category to throw it in is called cancer. And the treatment for that has never been proven successful in any situation. If radiation, chemotherapy was successful then a healthy person can take it to be more healthy. If…
