Now that Barack Obama is officially our President, people from all over the world are looking at him and his family as role models of how a family, regardless of race, should be. You have Barack, who is the figure head, the leader of the household; you have the kids, who are… well, doing whatever [...]

At the beginning of each year, I like to create different goals for myself to accomplish.  I had a few goals I set for myself at the beginning of this year, some of which actually got accomplished.  Get at least ONE song on radio?  Did it! (Perhaps you’ve heard the “Obama Milli” remix at your local radio [...]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYBODY! Uh oh.  I hear whispers and chatter coming from some of the people at their computers… “Happy Holidays?!?
