The Whitney Houston Interview: When Will Women Stop Playing the “Victim” Role? »

Before I go on my tangent here, let me just say for the record: I am a person that believes in taking responsibility for one’s own actions.  If I get involved in a situation that results in unwanted consequences that are damaging to me or others around me, I am always willing to take claim [...]

Aaron P. Taylor’s Guide to Chivalry… for WOMEN. »

“Chivalry IS dead… and women killed it!” – Chris Rock Okay, so maybe Mr. Rock was exaggerating, but he did hit something on the head: chivalry, while not dead, has certainly been on life support for quite some time now. And, while blame can be placed on the men in our society who choose to [...]

Is It Wrong for Blacks to Vote for Obama Just Because He’s Black? (Hint: Not Really) »

I was in my kitchen cooking dinner last night when a re-airing of the B.E.T. Hip-Hop awards came on T.V. I missed the first airing, and was happy to be able to finally watch the show.

One [...]

Relationships Aren’t “Complicated” – The Other Person Just Doesn’t Like You »

A person with a Facebook account can often log on and see the changing status of his or her various friends. One of the things I notice the most on various friends’ pages is their ever-changing relationship status. Some people go from being “single” to “in a relationship” while others do the opposite, expressing to the [...]

Why John McCain Will Be Our Next President »

Above: A brief video of Senator John McCain’s Saturday Night Live appearance. I do not consider myself a Democrat or a Republican.  Personally, I think it’s stupid to hitch yourself to a candidate based soley on what party they’re running with, especially when the candidate opposing your guy may have better ideas. As I am [...]
