The winds of change.

For those of you who have been wondering why there has been no activity on the blog in sometime. It's because I had to move over to wordpress(long story) 

The new address to the Blog is Regal Thoughts. They're will be a lot of new content on this version of the site. I'll be showing my artistic side a little more. Thanks to all the people who have been reading and replying and I hope you enjoy the new blog! 

A Few Good Men

It's become fairly obvious that I know far more women than I do men. It's a gift and a curse. On one hand I gain valuable insight into the mind of a female, I know how they think, what they like. I'm well taken care of and some of them are just really nice to look at. On the other hand...you b*tches is crazy! (Before I continue I would like to make it clear that I mean no disrespect when I use the term "bitch". For more understanding about my use of the word, please watch this..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmpeTZ9B7rk&feature=youtube_gdata_player) This isn't a female bashing post though, well in a way it is, but not blatantly.  Today I would like to talk about my frustration with one of the most commonly asked questions by women. "WHY AREN'T THERE ANY GOOD MEN OUT THERE,"?

Before I proceed with my actual response, I'd like to pose this question to the women of the world; Where the f*ck is "there,?!". In your city? State? At your school? In the clubs/ lounges/ bars that you go to? Perhaps you need to stop meeting dudes during happy hour at the same damn place you go to every week. Just a suggestion, on to the realness.....

I have good news and bad news ladies. The news is that your absolutely right. There are no "good" men out there. The bad news is, its your fault. for two reasons;

1. You don't know what a good man is; "Good" is a subjective word. I think Pootie Tang was a GOOD movie. My mother thinks it's absolutely ridiculous. Kakey thinks she gives GOOD head, Pinky and Super head would say otherwise. Your idea of good is based on your expectations, which are influenced by Disney movies, Usher Albums and Brown Sugar, none of which are reality. To find a good man you need to adjust your expectations of a what a good man is. A large majority of women's "good man" is in actuality a perfect man, and a perfect man does not exist. That doesn't mean you have to settle for someone your unhappy with, it just means you need to re-prioritize what your looking for and what your willing to look past.

2. Your enabling men to be the pieces of shit you complain about. One of the fundamental differences between men and women is that women don't choose mates based on the person they see before them. Women choose based on potential. They see what a man COULD become and that's why they mess with him despite the fact the presently he's a freaking bum. Most men gauge their self worth on the quality of women they deal with. You know he was a loser when you met him, but he was 6'2" and has a big dick so you fuck with him. thinking you'll inspire him to better himself....but why should he better himself for you? The one that fucked him when he was a loser? If he starts to better himself he's going to start to think he needs a better woman, be it better looking, a bigger freak, more successful. What's the point of building an army if your just going to stay on the land you already have? Men want to conquer. The solution? Stop dating losers and thinking your love will cause them to spread their wings and fly, it ain't happening.

*Disclaimer* These statements don't apply to all women or men. Just going off what I've seen and been told.

War of the Roses

*Disclaimer; This is in no way making fun or being critical of overweight ppl, hell I'm overweight. It's merely a commentary on what I observe and believe to be true. You may observe something completely different and that's fine, this isn't your damn blog.

Despite what some people like to believe, Men and Women are not equal. We live in a society full of double standards and hypocrisy in regards to gender, race, age, etc. Today I'd like to talk about one of the those double standards that seems to be oft misrepresented. Approximately 30.6% of the United States population is considered obese, this is the highest % of any country in the world. This blog is not Americans and our fat ass habits though. The question today; Is obesity more accepted amongst Males or Females?

Social media sites(in 2012 the best barometer of what is going on in society.) are flooded with Big Girl empowering pictures, articles and slogans.

"Real men like curves"

"Big girls do it better"

As I'm typing this I did a quick Google search of "Big Girls" and came across two blog posts entitled "6 reasons why you should date a fat girl." and "Are Big girls better in bed?".

Go to the mall. There's Ashley Stewart, The Avenue, Lane Bryant, all stores that sell plus sized clothes for women. All designed to make sure plus sized women don't miss out on the opportunity to be fashionable.

What do we have for Big men?....I'll wait....

Big and Tall man stores?? (Who's clothes suck by the way.) While brands like the gap and Ralph Lauren do sell larger sizes, they must be ordered online and the styles are still limited at best.

When it comes to dating and relationships, big men get the short end of the stick as well. Men, largely because of your our unquenchable blood thirst for vagina, are accepting of women of all sizes. As long you as have big boobs and a fat ass there are guys that will go after you. "More cushion of the pushin."Women on the other hand, not all but a good enough amount, are extremely particular when it comes to the physical features of their mates. Love handles and a gut are not to popular features. Ladies, honestly speaking, how many times have you dismissed a guy because he had man-boobs?(Trust me, I know). Big women are generally comfortable with their sexuality, that's why its not unlikely to see one in lingerie and sexy undergarments just like the sz 2 girls. I have yet to see, nor do I care to, a big ass dude w/ leopard print Speedos on.(shutters). Big women boast about the men they attract almost as much as "Skinny Bitches", they frequent the clubs and get hit on by waves of men. They have empowering club anthems. Meanwhile, Big dudes are avoided like the plague when in the club, at least it would seem that way if you look at how women act towards them. That is, unless they've got money. Green has a very...slimming effect on men.

When observing people in their social circles it is also evident that the men have a tougher time in society. While they may say mean or hurtful things behind a woman's back, a big girl's female friends are generally supportive of her appearance. They constantly encourage her, telling her she's sexy. They rarely question her eating habits unless it becomes particularly destructive. When she decides she wants to lose weight, they are supportive then too.

Men on the other hand are relentless with the fat jokes, pranks etc. Even between friends, calling a woman a fat ass is a sin. Men on the other hand are quick to drop the fat bomb in regards to one of his boys for a quick laugh. We will tear down an ridicule a friend(unknowingly of course, there are rarely malicious intent.)

We do have some redeeming qualities though. One good thing about males is that they are very supportive of an overweight friend who is looking to lose.

Botton line is, the plight of the big man is overlooked. "Big boys need love too,".

Do you agree? Disagree?

I need a girl (5 reasons why your single, the male version)

Happy New Year, I hope you all had a happy and healthy holiday. Lets make 2012 the best year ever. Looking forward. I know alot of young men are steadly paying off the massive credit card bills they racked up during the holidays just to turn around and swipe those cards again for V-day next month. The price we pay for the ones we love. In all actuallty it's better than the alternative. Although most men would never admit it, being single this time of year SUCKS. Most men have only themselves to blame for their lonely, jergens filled nights. The ratio of women to men in this country is 4:1, if you can't find a women than it's probably more you than anything else. That being said, here's part 2 of the 5 reasons that as is still single. Part 1 focused on the ladies, now it's time to show the guys some love.



5. Your a bitch; Women are looking for a MAN. Not a metrosexual sissy that drinks white wine and loves to cuddle while watching The Notebook. I hear women constantly say that they want to feel protected. How are you going to protect your woman when your jeans are just as tight as hers? This is becoming a bigger and bigger issue with today's men. It's ok to be in touch with your sensitive side, but if that's your ONLY side than you need to pull your pants down, locate your sack and start stop acting like you have a placenta.


4.You have no ambition; Wale named his album Ambition for a reason. Yes, It's quite an accomplishment that your ranked top 30 in the world in the new Call of Duty. You should be very proud that you won your fantasy football league the last 3 seasons, but the harsh reality is; that isn't gonna get you any ass. Like I said in the last post women can smell ambition. Which also means, they know if you ain't about ish. The prospect of having to support your x-box playing, papa johns pizza eating, "aspiring" rapper ass is not attractive at all to a woman.


3. Your a cheater; Of course women cheat just as much as men. So why is it only on the list for men? Because women are (for the most part) smart enough not to date someone that they know is a cheater. Men are so stupid that they think it won't happen to them, or that they can change a cheaters ways. Word to the wise guys, the only think that will stop a cheater from cheating is themselves. Women (again for the most part) respect the boundaries of a relationship and will therefore not pursue a taken man,


2. Your Broke; Broke of course is a relative thing. You don't have to be pushing a BMW or Range Rover( although they would help...). As long as your making an honest living, your able to pay your bills and occasionally take a female to a nice resturant or buy her a nice gift for the holidays. The broke we're talking about is the dudes that have to get their phone in their momma name, then have to borrow money from their baby mama to pay the bill, all the while going to the strip club 3 times a week and making it drizzle on some chick named Caramel .

1.Your Crazy; Lets face it, there are dudes out that are straight bonkers. Men don't handle their emotions as well as females to, so negative feelings such as jealousy, fear and sadness often manifest themselves in the form of crazy ass actions. Fellas check yourself, calling someone 20 times a day, showing up unannounced at one's job/home, following them around, these things are not cool and will not make a woman want to be with you. Tat your name so you know its real? More like tat my name so I know you crazy. Of course if the woman is crazy too then she probably likes that kind of stuff. In which case you two can live on in lunatic love. Dat shit cray!

Back at it...

Allow me to re-introduce myself....I am Tha King. I'd like to welcome you back, welcome some of you for the first time to this here blog. It's been a good six months since my last post. Life has a way of makig you forget about your creative outlets. I've heard you calling(Texting rather cause I don't answer my phone). I appreciate the people who have been inquring about the status of the blog, it lets me know that people really do read, at the end of the day I write for people to read.

I have to admit, coming up with topics has been rather diffcult lately. I haven't cared enough about any one topic to give it the thought it takes to post about it. Today's topic is actually a topic I got off a social networking site. A young lady made a video blog entitled "The 5 reasons your're still single". It was cute, flawed but cute. She recieved quite a bit of negative feedback regarding her reasons. I'll admit, one or two of them were a little dumb (Sorry Hun, thems the breaks). The others made pretty good sense to me. All in all I was confident that I could have come up with a better list. So here we are, right in the middle of cuffing season, The 5 Reasons Your Ass Is Still Single. Today we're dealing solely with the women, it would be foolish to think that men and women would have exactly the same reasons. Fellas you'll have to wait until tommorrow.

5. Baggage; Not the Lou Vutton kind either. The kind that makes you seem like your crazy. Women have a tendency to bring alot of issues from past relationships with them into new ones. You can't punish new men for the things old men did to you. I know this may sound harsh but GET OVER IT

4. Your standards are unreasonable; I understand that you made up a this dream mate in your Barbie playhouse when your six. The keyword in that last sentence was DREAM. Many women have these outrightgeous standards that, if the tables were turned, they could not live up to themselves. Why is it that your mate MUST make at least 50k? Is it to offset the fact that you have no job? Is the reason that your demanding a man built like Reggie Bush to motivate your fat ass to get back into the gym? Standards go both ways. So if you not a model and you don't drive a benz, don't demand that you mate be.

3. why-dont-you-have-man-ill-tell-you-one

2.You don't do anythinng; I know, its 2011 and your an independent woman. You can do anything a man can do. That doesn't give you an excuse to not be able to do the things women do. To some degree, a man is looking for a woman to assume the roles that his mother had. Which means if your 26 and you can't fry an egg, we have a problem.You want to show a man you care? Clean his room while he's asleep, or have a hot plate waiting for him when he comes home.There is nothing you can say to a man that makes him feel the way he feels waking up to breakfast in bed.You want that old school love your parent/grandparents had? How much do you wanna bet Grandma was in the kitchen cooking a hot meal?

1. Your desperate; They say that women can smell a man's ambition. Well a man can smell a woman's desperation. Let me make this very clear; Men couldn't care less that your biological clock is ticking, we don't care about your plan to be married at 22, Kids by 25. No man wants to rushed into a long term committment, hell we get nervous when signing cell phone contracts.If your constantly bringing up marriage, children and things that involve the C-word you going to scare men away. There is more to life than procreation. Give us a reason to wanna marry you before you start talking about marriage.

Weiner-gate

We as Americans are, amongst other things, big time hypocrites. We have a habit of holding people, especially famous people, to moral standards we don't even live up to ourselves. How could we be critical of someone for doing something that millions of people engage in. The newest target of the gross hypocrisy of the American public is congressman Anthony Weiner. By now I'm sure you've heard about congressman weiner sending pictures of his....weiner to different women and then attempting to hide it from the media. Before we continue, lets look at all the facts;


*Congressman Weiner sent semi and fully nude pictures to multiple women

*Congressman Weiner had been exchanging flirty texts and having phone sex w/ some of the women.
*Congressman Weiner is married

*Congressman Weiner originally tried to cover up the pictures


Which of these things has anything to do with the congressman's ability to perform in office? Why is it that for well known people, their professional lives are affected by everything they do in there personal lives? Are any of you being held responsible for those pics and texts you sent the other day by your employer? I didn't think so. By far the biggest Hypocrite in this situation is Hilliary Clinton. Congressman Weiner's wife works for Ms. Clinton, and upon hearing the allegations about Wenier, advised his wife that she should leave him. Is this not the same lady that stood by her husband while he was getting his *&%$ underneath his desk? Now she wants someone else to stand up for themselves when she didn't. C'mon son. The bottom line is this; Andrew Weiner was a good congressman, while he may have been a bit if a freak and a shitty husband, those weren't the reasons he was voted into office. Let his personal accomplishments stand for alone. Who know's? Maybe he would have help pass some freak friendly laws, and who doesn't love that?

Put that thing on that I like; 10 sexiest articles of female clothing.

I'm the first to admit that I spend a hell of a lot of time looking at women. It's a hereditary thing. My daddy does it, my granddaddy did, my brothers and me as well. That being said, I have my personal preferences on what I like to see women in. What your wearing is half of what attracts men. So before you ladies starting updating your summer wardrobe, check out my list of the 10 sexiest articles of female clothing; enjoy.

Fitted Jeans; Bobby Valentino knew what he was talking about. While alone they aren't the most sexy article of clothing and it's made from denim, which isn't a sexy fabric, once its' wrapped around the curves of the female lower body it is transformed. The ass and Hips take center stage in a pair of Jeans; Contrary to popular belief, the tightest pair of Jeans is not the sexist. Your Jeans should not look like your cutting the flow of blood to your leg. Having your entire crack exposed is also not sexy. A lil crack never hurt anyone though.

2 piece; I don't know about you, but when I'm beach or poolside I'm not checking for the chicks in the one-piece coveralls. 2 piece bathing suits are about as revealing as you can get without being butt ass naked. Nothing beats a lovely beach body rising out of the water, Dripping wet in a 2 piece...Gotta love the summertime.

Booty Shorts; Like fitted jeans, the emphasis with Booty Shorts( Pum Pum shorts for all my west Indians) is the booty. So, if your are severely lacking in the ass dept you may want to re-consider throwing on a pair. A flat ass in booty is like an empty box wrapped up under the tree for X-mas. We have it in your head that we're going to turn around an admire a glorious ass and then...nothing. When properly worn though, booty shorts can perfectly showcase an ample backside. Don't believe me? Take a trip to the west Indian, Puerto Rican or Dominican Parades in NY.

High Heels; It is a pre-requisite that a bad b*tch have a mean a show game.(That's shoes, not sneakers.) A woman in a good heel commands the attention of all within the sound if her heel click. Heels also make a women's legs appear more toned than they actually are, which is always a plus. A word of caution though, if you have horribly deformed toes, swollen ankles or have not learned the proper walk in heel, just face reality and throw on those flats.

Tights; Personally I think this should have been higher on the list. Tights make almost all who wear them seem deceptively fit and curvy, with depending on your point of view could be a negative or a positive thing. For gentlemen that prefer the hips, thighs and butt you really couldn't ask for anything better than a nice thick girl in a pair of tights. Tights are also a beautiful sight at them gym, many a times I've been given the motivation do finish my workout by running behind a female in a pair of tights. As before, a cautionary note; Tights and Panty Hose are NOT the same thing and therefore not interchangeable. oh and stick to the basic colors if your over 21. No one wants to see you running around in neon or metallic tights looking like a power ranger. Oh, and camel toes? Not sexy.

Skirts; Not the flowery ones that the little school girls wear. We're talking about the indecent proposal, flash you when they're sitting down skirts. The ones that have to be pulled down constantly while walking. Skirts are also easy access, not that anyone is going to be accessing anything...... The flowery, frilly is ok too, it all really comes down to how you wear them as does everything else on this list. One thing is absolutely necessary though ladies....LOTION

Bra; Nice Bra's are must for any woman that considers themselves sexy. Men like bras that help the breast defy gravity, or at least appear that why. If your bra is going to be visible in public the should be colorful and decorative. Think of the bra as sprinkles on a cupcake, it's not affecting the taste of the cupcake, just enhancing the look. Sports bra's are also sexy, provided your doing some type of activity that would require one, and no the club does not apply.

Club(Freakum dress) ; Regardless of what you may have thought, men go to the club for one purpose; To see women. Dance with them, grind on them, cop a few feels and maybe even bring one home. So when we're at the club we want to see women in the shortest tightest thing they could possibly fit into. A female in a good freakum dress that shows off all her curves is a gift from the heavens. A club full of women in skin tight dresses is toy r us for grown men. Of course, like everything else, some guidelines need to be set; If you gut is hanging out further than your breasts than you may want to consider getting a dress with a little more wiggle room.

Thong ; The Strippers weapon of choice. The thong, is the poster child for sex. Ladies, think about the last you were absolutely sure your were going to have sex. What did you wear? A thong no doubt. Men instantly associate a woman in a thong as a freak or a naughty girl. As a result, we excited whenever we see it. female in thong= fun times.

Sun Dress; Surprised? Don't be, The sundress is the perfect mix of elegant and revealing. There's is nothing better than a woman in a nice colorful sundress and sandals. Its a natural, seemingly effortless look. A sundress shows off all of a woman's assets without making her look like a tramp. You can show your girl off and then bring her home to your mama without her needing to change clothes. In addition to all that, they're easy to take off, which guys always appreciate.

Money Talks

No one is more excited about the news of Bin Laden's death than me. Mainly because it knocked the damn Royal wedding out of the headlines. Hopefully I'll never have to hear about Prince William ever again. Just had to get that off my chest.

I was having a conversation with the landscaper at my job recently, he mentioned that he doesn't have a bank account and that he keeps all his savings at home. The rest of convo went as follows;

"You should really put your money in the bank."

"Why? What do I gain out of putting my money in a bank?"

"Well it gains interest for starters, its also insured when its in the bank."

"My money is insured at home."

"Not it isn't, God forbid your home burns down, your money burns with it."

"Yes sir it is, I have apt owners insurance, my money is covered."

" -_- "

To clarify, the only way to insure money is through the FDIC, which insures funds deposited with a financial institution(a bank). People often wonder how Whites, Jews, Asians and other cultures seem to able to start from seemingly nothing and make their way up the economic ladder so much faster than Blacks and Hispanics.

Think about an impoverished Black family that you know. Chances are Mama and Daddy were broke, Grandma and Grandpa and so on back. So why is it that an Asian family can be fresh off the boat from Beijing and build a wealthy estate for their children in one generation. They do so because they learned how the financial system in our country works and they use it to their advantage. Go to your local check cashing place, who's on line? Blacks and Hispanics, many of which don't have a checking accounts because they've never been taught the banking system and are as a result afraid of banks because of things they've heard in the news.

The local checking cashing place charges 3.1 % of the check in order to cash it. A person making 40k a year that cashes their checks has already lost over 1200 dollars before they even get the money in their hands. Compare that too a bank, in which a savings acct with a balance of 40k at a rate of 1.5% would net the account holder 600 dollars a year. I cannot tell you how many Blacks and Hispanics I've come across that have never learned to write checks, don't know the difference between fixed and variable interest rates. These are things that are vital to effectively functioning in our society.

It may seem as though I'm focusing on 2 ethnic groups when there are others that do the same. I do so because over the past 5 years working in the financial industry I've come across far more Blacks and Hispanics that were financially illiterate than any other ethnicity. From birth we're taught how to count and spend money, but few teach their children how money really works. Learning the basics of the financial system in this country is one of the keys to being successful.

A wise man told me dont argue with fools...

A lot can be learned from the whole President Obama - Donald Trump birth certificate ordeal. To recap; There have long been conspiracy theorists that speculate that President Obama was not born on US soil an was therefore never eligible to run for President in the first place. They remained just that, conspiracy theories until Donald Trump decided to champion the "Obama ain't American" campaign. He spoke out publicly demanding that Obama provide proof that he was indeed born on US soil. The story slow gained attention until this week when Obama has the state of Hawaii release his birth certificate. Obama had remained relatively tight lipped about the situation until this week. The following is a video clip from the White House Correspondent's dinner last night.



Now before I continue, I have to tip my hat to President Obama and whoever helped him put this whole piece together. This was some funny shit. Not included was his entrance to "I'm a real American" (The Hulk Hogan theme music for those that don't know.) The lion King part was cute, but it really got funny when he started taking shots at Donald Trump. It takes alot of balls to unrelentingly shit on someone while they are in the audience. Trump clearly didn't find it funny at all, in fact he looked a little embrassed, and rightfully so. I think maybe the next person will think twice before the go running their mouth about Obama think he won't respond.

Which brings me too my main point. He responded. Over 5 mins of national airtime spent talking about bullshit. Barack Obama is the president of the United States, arguably the most powerful man on the planet. Who is Donald Trump? My 11 year old nephew had no idea who he was. Why waste the time and energy on a washed up real estate agent with a bad hair-do? Obama responding to Trump validates him. Had he completely ignored him the people would have as well. The Boss doesn't worry about what the kid in the mail room thinks. This just gives the next loser motivation to say something slick about the President knowing he takes on all comers, be them worthy or not. While it was funny as hell, I give Obama a C- on his handling of this situation.

5 Things Keeping The Murder Rate Down In The Inner City.

Down being a relative term of course. The fact of the matter is; Ain't no love in the heart of the city. In an area so densely populated with angry blacks and Hispanics, many of whom are broke on top of all else, there is bound to be a fight popping off every 10 seconds. It's gotten much better since the Rodney King, L.A. riot days, but we're not so far removed that it won't happen again. Law-enforcement doesn't stop violence, people do. If it weren't for the things in our society that bring us joy or a release from the stress of everyday life, everybody would be one mean look away from bussing a cap in someone's ass.

1. Weed - Kat Williams put it best; The key ingredient in weed is something called "f*ck it". You can't pay your rent on time? F*ck it, you still haven't used that tent you bought last summer. Child support due? F*ck it, maybe your baby mama will take the cash and finally fix that busted ass weave of hers. Smoking makes otherwise serious situations infinitely less serious. Only problem is it wears off after a few hours. Oh, and the fact that it's an illegal substance.

2. Sports - Has the ability to tame the souls of angry black men in multiple ways. Playing it provides a much needed physical release. Where else but football or basketball can you knock someone on their ass without them pressing charges? The benefits of watching sports is two-fold, it offers a 2 and 1/2 hour distraction from your wife, kids, boss, bills, and anything else that may be wearing on your brain. Being a fan of a team also allows you to paint your face colors and scream obscenities to strangers. The later of which I enjoy thoroughly. Lets just hope. The NFL and NBA get their labor situations straight or all hell is gonna break loose.

3. The Club - There is a reason millions of people flock to the city every Friday and Saturday. The club is like sensory overload to the brain; Flashing lights, loud music and half naked women dancing, the liquor is what brings it all together though. The liquor allows you to get lost in everything else that comes with the club. Where you wake up though is completely on you.

4. Call of Duty - I suppose any video game would apply in this situation. However I chose call of duty 1. because it's my favorite game and 2. Its the highest selling game ever. What better way to relieve the stress of the day than buy shooting a few communists. The violent nature of the game makes it a perfect release. It's also pretty fun to imagine taking out your boss with a sniper rifle. All of that plus the fact that you can play with real people online, killing them while yelling explicative's about their mothers. What's more fun than that?

5. Hoes - Look down upon them if you want, hoes make the world go round. The fact of the matter is; Sex it the best stress reliever known to man. I could give you the scientific song and dance about endorphins but I'm confident that if you're reading this you've had sex before. So why hoes specifically? Its simple, relationships take a great deal of time and effort and can actually be pretty stressful themselves. Hoes eliminate the commitment, trust and all of those scary words from the situation and take it right down to getting busy. Hoes also have lower standards than most women, which means that ugly dude with the funny odor can probably still get it in. Ugly, smelly dudes need love too.

Tricks Are For Kids

There is a disagreement at my place of employment. To set the scene; I am the only male in an office of 8 females, basically it's an estrogen feast in this biotch. Within the last week two of these co-workers have received rather expensive gifts from their male "friends." Both co-workers graciously accepted the gifts, under the impression that there were no strings attached. I felt it was my civic duty to inform them otherwise. The conversation went something like this;

"You do know they wan't something in return right?"

"What?"

"These gifts aren't out of the kindness of their hearts. they want something."

"What do you mean?"

"They are expecting you to give up the ass in the very near future."

"No they don't! We're just friends."

"Riiiiiight make sure you shave your legs and what not for the next time you see him.....

This debate is hardly a new one. There are some men, foolish as they may be, that believe that by showering an otherwise uninterested female with expensive gifts and/or money, that the female will become attracted to you. This is the basis for what we now know as "tricking." Women are aware of this, and under the guise of friendship will string a witless fool along until his accounts are in the negative and his credit cards are maxed out. Of course this doesn't apply to all women, but I can say with confidence that 75% have done, are doing or are willing to do it if the opportunity presents itself.

Tricking causes many problems between the two sexes. From a Females perspective, if she has grown accustomed to dealing with tricks she will begin to believe that this is standard protocol. When a man comes along who's pimp hand is more sturdy, the woman becomes offended, thinking he views her as a "cheap f#ck." To the non-tricking male, a woman who expects her affection to be bought is a gold-digger, and we don't love them hoes.

To the tricking male, his sense of reality has become so distorted to the point where he cannot see signs of a gold-digger. So he writes the female off as "high maintenance" and continues to write those checks all the while thinking that every check that clears is another hurdles he has cleared on the way to her heart, or in her pants, whichever his intention.

Tricking is morally wrong people! A man should not be interested in women that are more into their bank acct than their personality, or lack thereof. Your not the richest dude in the world, so when another brotha comes up to your girl and his bank statement has one more zero, she'll skate. She's not looking for a partner, she's looking for a come-up. Only hoes look for come ups. As women you should realize your playing a game you can't win. If a man has to buy you, your no longer a person. Your an investment, and like cars and houses, pussy is a depreciating asset. Your losing monetary value. As soon as he's able he'll trade you in and upgrade to the shiny younger version.

Letter to Lebron

It was all a dream, we watched you from when you were a boy. You became a man before our eyes. "This kid could be special" we said.

We cheered you as you walked across our stage. We wished you luck as you shook the commissioner's hand. "Your in the big leagues now kid."



Your first game, first dunk, first triple double, we watched it all. We bought the shoes, wore the jerseys. We were all witnesses.



When you came to the Garden we cheered for you. You weren't one of us, you weren't from our city, but we cheered for you. Even though you beat us, we cheered. It broke our hearts but we cheered you.



You said you loved our city, you wore our flag, you watched our bombers. You told us you would love to play here and we believed you. It was only a matter of time. You would be our champion, the King of this city. The A -Rods, Eli's and all else would bow to the return of the King. You would have gone down a legend. Your statue would reside in front of the Garden forever and for all to see. You would be 23, OUR 23.



Then it all changed,



Your taking you talents to South Beach?! You betrayed us. Cleveland would have cut is deep, Jersey would have made us jealous, but you chose Miami, the enemy. You said you wanted to win now. Well to clutch what you covet what must you give away?



You gave away our respect. We were ready to hold court for the King, but you turned out to be just a Jester. You lied, you said you loved this city, you said you were the chose one. Well you chose wrong. You choose to play second fiddle because you knew you couldn't get the job done yourself. Magic would never, Larry Legend was appalled. We want you to be our 23, but your not NY material. King James is now the Fresh Prince of South Beach.



Don't feel sorry for us though,



Although you proved you couldn't make it in this town, a new leader has emerged, Standing tall and talented, ready to accept the challenge of restoring our city to the glory days. His passion has made us believe, his dedication has inspired us. He knows it won't be easy, but we're behind him. The city is behind him, the team is behind him.



Just like he came, others will come. Those that know what this city means to the game. Players have emerged that embody the heart of the city, they are driven by the ballers from Rucker to Roy Wilkins, from W. 4th to W. Farms. There is life after Lebron. It starts tonight at MSG.



Yours truly,

NYC Basketball

Letter to a black girl.

Dear Black Girl,

What have we done to you? Where did we go wrong? Is this all my doing? Did I hurt you like this? What did I do to make you think you had to wear fake hair, fake nails to impress me? What did I say to make you think that I didn’t love your dark skin? Why do you wearing that make up on your face? Did I tell you that you weren’t beautiful? You are, you don’t need a mask from MAC to be. Did I tell you that you had to wear the tightest jeans and the lowest cut shirts for me to notice you? I always notice you. Who told you that your most valuable asset was your ass? Who said you had to shake your ass to get attention? What made you think I wanted you to look like a Barbie doll? Barbie is fake, you are so real.

Why are so angry? Did I do this to you? I don’t want you to be a bitch, I don’t want a diva, I want a Queen, that’s what you’ve always been. Why do you argue with each other and put each other down? You are sisters you’re supposed to uplift each other. I’m sorry I hurt you, I know I lied. I know I told you I loved you than I broke your heart. I was young and a fool. I didn’t know it would make you never trust me again. I thought it was cool to cheat on you. I thought it was cool to treat you like a hoe. I didn’t know, I thought you would get over it. I’m sorry those men touched you when you said no. Is that the reason why it’s so hard to touch your heart? You don’t have to be a freak to make me like you. I always liked you, just they way you were. You didn’t have to change to satisfy the world. I just want you to be who you’ve always been.

With Love,

Black Boy

This post was some loosely inspired by "Diary" by Wale feat Marsha Ambrosius

I say loosely because my mind jumps so nothing is ever really inspired by one thing, carry on.

Why Don't You Have A Man? I'll Tell You One Reason Why!

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you, without a dope post for your mental. Let me be the first to wish you all a happy turkey day. If you don't eat turkey then....well you should be smacked quite frankly. My apologies for the slight hiatus, I had to get my shit together. I've been observing the foolery that has been transpiring though. Much to discuss we have....

Those that know me know I love to give advice. One because I'm nosey and I want people to tell me their business and Two, it's another opportunity for me to give my opinion. Well last night one of my BBM buddies comes seeking knowledge from the Royal one. She wants to now why she's still single. In fact, most of our conversations comprised of her complaining about some dude that isn't showing interest or how she hates seeing couples because she's jealous.

My advice was typical but excellent nonetheless. I told told her to turn to the Knicks game.

"Why?", was her response

"So we can watch."

" I'm not really a basketball fan."

"So what sports do you watch?"

"Ummm, none. lol"

Aha! I think we have found the problem. It's an issue that single women and cuffed women seem to take different sides on, which is pretty telling if you ask me. The issue isn't basketball, but a unwillingness to interest yourself in in the interests of the person you're interested in. I'll use myself as an example. This week I watched the Bad Girls Club reunion(that bitch Leah is crazy).

Now, let me make this very clear; I HATE THE BAD GIRLS CLUB. I loathe it, I detest it. So why would I sit through the reunion of a show that I can't stand? Simple, because women like the BGC. Since the reunion I have been able to spark countless conversations with the opposite sex by just mentioning that I saw the show. It was a common ground that we could meet at. The formula is as follows:

Women Like X

I like Women

Therefore I like X

Women, single ones more specifically, either don't get this or aren't willing to get with this. Instead of complaining about how much guys love Call of Duty, why don't you pick the damn game up and see what it's about? That way the next time they mention it, you can drop a little nugget of knowledge about the game and spark up a conversation. The same concept is true when dealing with children, if you want to connect with a child, learn about something they like. My mother was able to sit and discuss the Power Rangers with me at length, and we were closer because of it.

No one is asking you to become the next Phil Jackson. Or to log as much Call of Duty time as we do. Just enough to get the lines of communication open long enough for you to switch to some of the sappy sh*t you like to talk about. Is that so hard? Girlfriends do to, maybe that's why you aren't one.

Basketball Jones; 5 reasons you can't miss this NBA season

It feels like Christmas! Another NBA season is upon, arguably one of the most anticipated seasons ever. There's betrayal, drama, revenge, all the things that make you females watch dumb ass shows like bad girls club. This season is just as much about the stories off the court as it is the game on the court. For those who aren't in the know, here are some of the big stories that will be played out over the upcoming NBA season....

1. The Miami Heat; The NBA's super team. This summer Miami hit the jackpot by acquiring the reining MVP of the league, Lebron James and one of the leagues premier big man, Chris Bosh. Bosh and James will be joining Miami's superstar Dwayne Wade. Expectations are through the roof for the heat, its championship or bust. It won't be a cake walk though, the entire NBA is gunning to bring the these guys down. The Heat is on.

2. LA Lakers; The 2 time Defending Champs, lead by the best player on the planet today, Kobe Bryant. The Lakers are looking to do what only legendary teams have done before, 3 peat. One more ring will also give Kobe Bryant a total of 6, the same number is that guy that played in for the Bulls. Can Kobe fight age and injuries and catch Air Jordan?

3. The Boston Celtics; With all the attention on the Heat and the Lakers, the Boston Celtics have been flying under the radar. People seem to have forgotten that the Celtics came within a few minutes of beating the Lakers for the Championship despite not having their entire team. The Big 3( Garnett, Allen, Pierce) plus PG( Rajon Rondo) are healthy now and are playing with a chip on their collective shoulders. They also made a very BIG addition to their team. The men in green are seeing green and are out to get the respect they deserve.

4. Where will Melo Go?; Carmelo Anthony, one of the NBA's top 5 players is on the move. He is in the last year of his contract and has made it clear that he isn't staying in Denver. All the talk is that Melo is on his way to NYC to lead the Knicks back to the promise land, but that's what everyone said about Lebron James this summer.

5. Kevin Durant ; At only 22 years old, Kevin Durant proved this summer at the World Basketball Championship that he is the real deal. Leading team USA to a perfect record and WBC gold. Durant has quickly ascended to elite status in the NBA, amongst the likes of Kobe and Lebron. Will Durant lead his Oklahoma City Thunder deep into the playoffs and challenge the Lakers in the West. Will the scoring leader wins his first MVP award?

Keep your team strong; The 5 people every man needs in his life

Voltron, what a classic. Before I start with today's post I wanted to clear something up for the one or two sociopaths that decided to comment on the last post without reading and fully understanding what was said. I was not in opposition of Spoon abstaining until marriage, I was suggesting that, for multiple reasons, she not let that be known to every males she comes in contact with five minutes after meeting them. What you do with you're body is your prerogative. I don't judge, neither should you. On to the next post...

Contrary to the "born alone, die alone theory," Tha King believes life is a team sport. You can go at it alone, but you're going to lose. Will Smith said that you are the 5 people that you spend the most time with(smart guy), if that's true than I need to get the hell away from my aunt.

When it comes to men, who are expected to have uphold certain moral standards and meet the expectations of countless people, the type of people you keep around you is that much more important. A man needs people that can keep him in check, provide him with perspective, inspire and excite him. If you understand the type of people a man has in his life you will better understand your role in that man's life. I've narrowed it down 5 types of people;

1. The "Old Head"; Commonly known as the father figure, sadly so many men don't have fathers so this role is often filled by an older brother, older friend in the neighborhood. In the worst cases it's filled by a mother. The old head is critical to the growth of a man. He should be one of the first people that the man consults about difficult situations and decision that he is faced with. The old head should be able to give his unbiased, uncensored opinion without any fear of offending the man.

2. The "Young Gun"; The old head gives the knowledge, The young gun receives the knowledge. Again this since the father son relationship is so often not present, a man may take his little brother, nephew, cousin or kid in the neighborhood as his young gun. The key to this relationship is that it has to be mutual consent, you can't be someones old head if they don't view you like that.

3. "Mama"; Or Grandmama, or auntie, or girlfriend who thinks they are the boss. This is the person the man goes to for comfort and security, after a man has made the tough decisions with the help of the old head, he goes to mama for the unconditional love and support. He also goes for that home cooked meal and free laundry service.

4.The Rival; The name speaks for itself. This is the man's antagonist. The person he views as his equal. The rival constantly challenges the man, knowingly or not. The rival pushes the man to demand more of himself. When self motivation fails, the rival, and fear of losing to him(or her) is what keeps the man going.

5.The Muse; This is the person that inspires the man. The muse makes the man want to follow his dream, be a better man, accomplish a goal. Like the rival, the muse often times don't know they are the muse.

Take a look at the men around you and see if you can't identify each of these people in his life. Also take a look at your relationship with that man. Maybe you are one of these people.

Did it all for the nookie

Let me be the last to wish you a happy Columbus day. We owe a lot to Mr. Columbus, the spread of disease, the destruction of multiple cultures. Most of us were just happy to have the damn day off though.

How important is sex in a relationship? Tha King recently met a young lady by the name of.....let's call her Spoon. Spoon and I are both avid sports fans and two of the 20 people that actually watch the WNBA.(Side bar- Did anyone see Diana Taurasi and other athletes posing butt ass naked in ESPN the magazine? If so you should. Fun for guys and girls.)

Rather early into our conversations Spoon revealed that, although not a virgin, she was abstaining from sex until marriage. Naturally I had to question her reason for doing so. Spoon claims that sex is not important to a relationship and that she wants to meet someone interested in her and not her vag.

Tha King applauds the nobility of what she's trying to accomplish, however being the devils advocate that I am. I'd have been remiss not to point out that by taking such a hard stance on premarital sex, she would largely limit the number of bachelors for her to choose from. Why not leave your options open and consider everyone, weeding out the ones only interested in blowing her back out.

Spoon would not budge, she sees sex as merely an form of expressing ones feelings for another and that it can just as easily be expressed in other ways such as "gifts, candle-lit dinners and watching "The Hills" together.(Chuckle) Spoon claims she is satisfied in a relationship with out having sex. "There are other ways to show you care for someone than pounding their vagina for 5 mins." She says.

Needless to say, Spoon and I aren't on the same page. So I leave it up to you good people who had the patience to read this long ass post. Is what is the role of sex in a relationship?

Questionable; 5 questions that I've asked myself this week.

Wake me up when September ends...I love that song. Green Day is in tha King's top 5 bands. That was all completely random but I felt like sharing that. Anyways, the following 5 questions have come from conversations I've had with various people in my life. enjoy;

1. Why don't black men read books? Of course this doesn't apply to all black men, I myself an am exception. For the most part though black men aren't reading. As a whole we stand to gain so much by picking up a damn book every once in a while.

2. Why won't more women take the time to learn about sports? Ladies I can personally guarantee that your man will want to spend lots more time with you if you can compare and contrast the bullpens of the Yankees and the Devil Rays. ( how many of you reading even know what a bullpen is?)

3.Why are there still adults that claim they don't give head? If you're 18 or over and you still claim that you don't give head you should be stoned. Oral sex is the ultimate display of a desire to please your sexual partner. If you don't have that desire then you don't need to be sleeping with the person in the first place.

4.Why are so many black/minority people in nursing school? I understand it's a great profession and you can make a boat load of money, but why not be a Doctor? Why not aim to run show instead of being a step below?

5. Why do women refer to sex with 2 men at once a threesome? For the most part in these situations the 2 men are not touching each other, they're fu*king you. This is called a train sweetheart.

I'm So Wasted.

Ladies and Gentleman, meet Braylon Edwards. Wide Receiver for the New York Jets and quite possibly the dumbest muthafu*ker walking the Earth today. Why you ask? Last week Edwards was arrested and charged with DUI. Police say Edwards was twice the legal limit in NYC. While stupid on it's own, this is especially dumb considering that the NFL provides it's players with a free car service of situations like this, they simply call and a luxury car with a firearm wielding driver takes them where ever they want to go. Add that to the fact that Edwards good friend and ex teammate Donte Stallworth is currently sitting in a jail cell serving time for vehicular homicide after striking a pedestrian while DUI. Edwards was riding in the car that night, all the more reason he should know the consequences of this actions.

Edwards is the latest poster boy for a much bigger problem. Acoholism is getting out of control in this country. Every weekend millions of people hit the bars and clubs and get "wasted". College students, middle age, even teenagers are drinking. The hoodrats just sit and drink at home, which is completely ridiculous to me.

While it's a problem that affects everyone, it seems that the Black community compunds the problem by hopping in their cars and attempting to drive. Tha King himself is guilty of this once or twice in my life. I can recall a time when I got into the car blacked out and woke up in front of my house. Lucky for me the most high decided to give me a pass that night, I could have just as easily not woken up at all that night. The worst thing about drinking and driving is that it puts other people in danger. If you wanna kill yourself go ahead, but there are innocent people walking the streets. Ask Donte Stallworth.

Use your head people, you shouldn't have to drink in order to have a good time. If you do than maybe you're not as cool as you think you are. If you're gonna drink though, take a fu*ckin cab! You just spent 150 dollars at the bar, can't you spend 130 instead and hop in a cab to go home?

Status-Quo

It’s seems that everyone on the planet has Facebook these days. What started out as a fancy way for college kids to copy homework and talk about tests has no become the largest social networking site ever. The creator is filthy rich and is having a movie based on him. Over past year and a half, Facebook has begun reached a new demographic; ignorant ass people.

Look at your timeline, for every positive, thought provoking and clever status update, there are probably 5 utterly f*cking ridiculous updates that make you want to delete the friend that it came from. With hundreds of friends and the potential for millions of people viewing wouldn’t you want your status, the tiny peek into your mind, to represent you in the best way possible?
Well you’re in luck. Tha King has been in this Facebook game for years, it’s made me an animal. There’s rules to this ish, I wrote me a manual. Follow my lead and you’ll avoid all the common status pitfalls.

1. No Relationship drama; No one wants to hear about how happy or unhappy you are in your relationship. Keep your drama in house. Oh, and for the women who like to brag about how good their man is in bed or how he’s the best boyfriend ever, all your friends that just liked your status are trying to sleep with your man. Good job genius.

2. No drunken status; this includes any status made while drunk or hung over. How you have the whereabouts to log onto Facebook and update your status, while you’re “so wasted that you can’t stand up” is a mystery to me.

3. Pure examples of ignorance; I just read a status that said “Can’t wait to get into my bed, clothes my eyes and go to sleep.” C’mon son, now we know who’s not smarter than a fifth grader.
4. Hoodratism Example “dese bum bitches out herre ain’t got shyt on me. I’ma five star dime bitch. Only dime bitches on deck ova here.” Translation; You’re a hood rat.

5. Creepy Hookup status; Well all know a guy that posts status updates such as this; “Sexy ladies hit me up if you ready for a real nigga. OOVOO- MYMEATISBIG, Skype- IEATDABOX” Facebook is not a dating site. Maybe you need to reevaluate why you can’t meet women in person and have to resort to the internet.

6. I hate my job status; you’ve got it all figured out don’t you? You can talk shit about your job and your boss because you use your middle name as your first name and shortened your last name. Your boss will never find you right? Did you stop and think about the BIG ASS PICTURE OF YOURSELF ON THE PAGE!? Or that you friend requested 2 of your co-workers last week? Start looking for a new job now.


Of course there are others, but these are the six important guidelines to avoid being a Facebook douchebag. Good luck (3 people like this)
