Beyonce and church, or the lack of it …

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 29, 2008

We knew why she wouldn’t confirm why she won’t affirm her marriage to Jay-Z, now we can postulate why she can’t continue to attend church
Okay it’s a slow day. I was just reeling over news that Goodyear is trying to force the hand of the city of Akron by suggesting that eminent domain could [...]

Simpler Times

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 27, 2008

Watching Vh1 soul and they’re showing some of those old classic videos.  SWV, Musiq Soulchild, Eve’s first video, old Dre videos.  Took you back to simpler times, when just being on television was a big deal and music videos and music in general actually had somewhat of a meaning to it.
For one the Neo-Soul artists [...]

Invitation – Maynard Ferguson
 
Great stuff, thanks to Channel 32 in Chicago courtesy Community Calendar.  Weren’t those great days.  Man I miss the eighties!

Another weird day in the city …

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 26, 2008

So far about all I’ve done here is work, visit the beach, visit Mount Trashmore, and shop.  Not a whole lot of future in any of those things, so I thought I’d put my overly analytical and obsessive compulsive mouth aside and try something different for a change.  I wanted to walk around downtown Norfolk [...]

what our clothing says about us

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 26, 2008

Clothing is perhaps one of the best indicators of what a person’s true personality is.  But you have to look beyond what they are wearing and take into account how they are wearing, what their body language says they feel about themselves having worn it and a number of other factors. 
Take urban wear for example, [...]

Talking White or not?

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 25, 2008

I couldn’t talk “Black” if I wanted to it has little to do with my true experiences or where I am really coming from.  In fact “talking Black” is far more comprehensive than just my speech, it encapsulates everything from the way I write, how I think, and what my outlook on the world is.  [...]

dr. martins

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 25, 2008

picked up a nice pair of dr. martins, grey, faded but severly aged, low cut look like a pair of shoes one of the characters off of the Adams Family would wear.  man these are unbelievably soft, great work. 

remembering the eighties

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 25, 2008

Ok I have to be totally honest.  These days when you say that you are an eighties child it’s hard to tell whether or not someone is suggesting that they were coming of age in the eighties or born in the eighties.  This much I do know, for me the eighties were a great time [...]

What’s wrong with Black literature these days

Posted by: goofy328 on: May 22, 2008

Okay I have to admit I got sucked into the vacuum of Black erotica. I read one of Zane’s books one lazy summer afternoon and was a bit randy reading what to some may be the equivalent of rough third-wave feminist fiction in urban form. I mean those girls were really doing their [...]

So now we’re to believe that the only reason that Jennifer Hudson is on Sex And The City is for racial balance. I had to go to an Indian news site to find that out, of course. Personally, it isn’t surprising and I doubt that news is either a deal breaker for African-American [...]
