Walking Alone

Pinks
Are there times when you feel like the more good you have going on, the more bad or evil things come your way? What will you do when you do not know what to do? Are you constantly searching for the reasons why things in your life are not changing? Well if you are then I must ask you to look to God!  God knows what he is doing in your life and has a purpose for you.  He does not want you to handle every situation in your life on your own. In fact, that is impossible to do.  How can you handle everything on your own without seeking his guidance? There is nothing wrong with praying and talking to God because he is not judgmental.  I encourage you…

SBS: A guide to a healthier mind

Plums
contributed by JHue The Intro.... There is an epidemic that's been present for quite some time. A disease that creeps up on an individual and allows them to lose sight of themselves. Its an illness that overwhelms a person so much that they mistake negative aspects as positive reinforcements. This ailment is called STUPID BITCH SYNDROME. To understand this concept one must clear their mind from the fact that the word "bitch" is being used. I want my readers to accept the term as just that. A term. Meaning the name itself shouldn't afflict harm to any given individual. Its only used when individuals are in fact exhibiting such characteristics that apply to the term. In the excerpts to follow, I will give my readers parts of a guide that I hope will benefit…

T.I. Denied Clemency in the Courtroom

Plums
"I want drugs out of my life. If I can get the treatment and counseling I need ... I can beat this,". "I need help. For me, my mother, my kids, I need the court to give me mercy." This plea didn't rub the judge the right way as he granted 11 months of prison time to the famed rapper for violating conditions of his probation. This comes as a surprise to the rapper as he just got out of prison serving a 10 month felony weapon charge sentence. So is it just bad luck for T.I.? The story is T.I. was out with his new bride, Tiny , in Los Angeles when he was pulled over after officers suspected the use of ecstacy. They found Marijuana instead.  The newlyweds…

Don’t Make Me Open a Jar of WHOOP ASH!!

Neutrals
by Wylie J. StokeshartThat’s right! You read the title correctly….Whoop Ash! The comical moniker for this wonderful moisturizing cream is quite apropos because it does just what the title says…Whoop Ash. It is an M*U*S*T for anyone who is serious about having great skin and can be used year round. The packaging is intriguing from the beginning. Its shiny black plastic jar has the hottest Pop Art meets comic strip-inspired label you’ve ever seen. However, the magic begins when the lid is removed and an amazing scent is released. It’s kind of like that fresh, yet opulent scent you get from expensive soap. They call it White Honey Mango & Shea Butter.  I call it Magnificent! From what would seem an unforgivingly-rigid exterior, a generous dollop is produced as you…
