america’s favorite pastime

i’m sure albert pujols has a huge ole uncut dick

hits homeruns like a school chum he threatened

a dominican with significant foreskin

he’s much too big for his little bitch’s slit

she prolly leaped up and ran away from it

silly young ho too bad she didn’t know

there were dudes so much older

who took care of pujols on the road

but still he’s arriving back home

with his penis erect and swollen

got the green light so now go with it

use your hips or lips; grab hold of it

damn ma see now you were too slow with it

i done scooped up in front & took control of it

don’t blame me young lady i’m disposed to this

been handling dick since i first was exposed to it

way before baseball

would enter your attention

you were raised on barbies & princes

i aged memorizing rbi’s & pinch hits

we both have 2 holes

so to albert pujols

what’s the difference?

butterfly

so i was out in bronx park this evening, drinking (of course) and while i lamented the wilting foliage that our current heatwave produced, a beautiful black & orange butterfly made acquaintance with my knee. it was quite remarkable; she kept landing there & resting…i managed to capture this photograph as i realized she was bringing me serenity & peace.

coach bob huggins cradles & comforts injured player

This was the scene this past weekend during a final four game for the ncaa championship. DaSean Butler, a popular player for West Virgina, lay writhing on the court floor in agony after a serious knee injury. His coach, Bob Huggins, took to his knees to comfort the player, first cradling him in his arms & then caressing his face and offering soothing words as Butler cried out in pain. The two were so close that their noses touched at one point.  this was a spontaneous display of fatherly affection that both touched and discomforted the huge audience that witnessed it.

twitter was first to react; bob huggins became a trending topic within minutes: most of the tweets were expressing shock & disbelief at having witnessed such an intimate moment. many agreed that the fatherly cradle & caress & physical closeness between coach and player was homoerotic and that’s what caused the discomfort. we are not accustomed to seeing men offering that type of consolation to other men. add to that bob huggins’ reputation as a win-first coach prone to outbursts & tirades against his players and then the image of this burly white man hovering on his knees astride a bawling young black man, using his body and his words to soothe as a father would a young child.

i was touched by the scene, so much so, that it got me wondering what it would have felt like to have that intimate comfort with another man without any sexual or erotic feelings. i’m not the only one, i’m sure. many young men who have never had intimacy with a father in that way still develop a healthy sexuality…why have others of us not?

what do you think about coach huggins public display of affection?

teddy pendergrass: 1950-2010

teddy pendergrass 1977omg. i am stricken. first the catastrophe in haiti and now this!! oh the black community mourns & weeps…teddy p was the man. he was a king of r&b during the late 70s. he was the first male r&b artist to have his first four solo cd’s go platinum. yep. in just 3 years too, 1977-1980.

mom was a huge teddy pendergrass fan so that meant we all definitely were. omg he’s like family. listening to his songs now…but you know, he survived long after the accident. he’s been in a wheelchair for the past 28 years. still he’s toured and has remained vibrant. i caught him in concert in brooklyn at wingate field in ’02 and he looked & sounded great. what a huge loss for r&b music.

so yep…know your history. teddy pendergrass’ success as king of r&b with those 4 back to back platinum albums preceded rick james & even michael jackson.  teddy p was the prototype for the male r&b artists that would follow over the last 30 years. before lionel richie, before charlie wilson, before luther, freddie & alexander o’neal; before keith sweat, before bobby brown, before johnny gill, before r kelly, before aaron hall, before brian mcknight, before joe, and before usher, ne-yo, bobby valentino & trey songz, there was teddy p.

love you teddy! i’ll be making sure your legacy is preserved by reminding e’erbody about where you stand in r&b music history. you are a legend! rest in peace.

bathing in teddy p’s soft philly strings

the sound of tsop if u know what i mean

an r&b king is gone

oh why would this be

but you’re resting in peace

man we love you teddy p

check out these lyrics from one of my favorite teddy pendergrass songs. he’s talking about the richard nixon era but they speak of today, too.

teddy pendergrass: bad luck: 1974 (this was my jammmmm)

people of the world….out there

i know none of yall satisfied, satisfied

the way prices have been going up

on things

i could barely buy a mornng paper

we gotta cut down on smoking

gotta cut down on drinking

early one morning

i got me a paper

i sat down

on my living room loor

opened it up

opened it up

guess what i saw

i saw the president of the united states

the man said he was gonna give it up

he did resign yall

but he still turned around

and left all us poor folks behind

they say they got another man to take his place

but i don’t think they mean

to satisfy the human race

bad luck, bad luck, bad luck

the only thing that i got

that i can hold on

is my god

my god

jesus be with me

jesus

give me good luck

good luck

help me jesus


haiti in ruins: 100k feared dead

omg. what the fuck??? an earthquake in haiti? this poor, cursed nation! oh my. why this horrible tragedy in the most impoverished place on the planet. how unfair!

tragedy strikes without warning. that’s what’s so frightening about it. stuff happens out of nowhere. there we were, having a normal weekend 4 days ago & january 12 was just going to be tuesday. no idea that a catastrophe would occur. how random…or is it…

haiti is the only country founded by a successful slave rebellion. and boy has it suffered. 95% of the 9 million population is black, french/african black. and most of the country is poor. desperately poor. why do people who live in abject poverty continue to have children?? isn’t that irresponsible??

haiti’s brutal history is well documented. most unfavored nation, it seems she was. can’t imagine why fate has been so unkind to haiti and our people there. i remember when the hiv/aids epidemic began, haitians were considered patient zero. people from haiti were at extremely high risk for hiv. why was that??

pray for haiti. this is unimaginable.
