Inspiration to Fathers

Pinks
Men are the epitome of strength and maturity. But some of the young mothers of our generation threaten those qualities. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to know, personally, some of these women who will drag a man through cracks just to prove a point. And let’s just suffice it to say that I don’t associate myself with those women anymore. I’m not saying that all men possess these qualities. But I’m sure you can think of some who do. All it takes is one look to know that he feels defeated and at a loss of what to do. That look, that is the equivalent of a movie.

The Art of Shaving

Plums
I loved watching Big Daddy shave. As a little boy, I dreamt of shaving like him. Grandma Marian tells of the time I slipped into the bathroom with his razor etc. to shave. I emerged with cuts and showed them to Big Daddy (who being very old by this time didn’t speak much). However, he managed to look at me and ask “Why did you do that?”Fast forward to today, I am fondly reminded of Big Daddy when I venture to Harlem Barber for my weekly shave.  As I am susceptible to razor bumps, I couldn’t stand to shave with more frequency than that.  Once in the shop, I greet the barbers at chairs 1 & 2, the patrons waiting to the left, the shoeshine man in the corner, and…

Fellas & V-Day

Plums
The day of love is quickly approaching. The closer it gets to Valentine's Day, the more of an opportunity there is for the fellas to inadequately choose a last minute gift. Showcasing your love on this day is very important. Why? It will ensure pleasure on both ends. Make her happy and she'll do the same. That's the ultimate goal anyway right? That's why your gift cant be mediocre. It has to be something she can remember over a period of time. Your gift shouldn't just be a Valentines Day gift, it should be something she can think about over the days and months afterward. The cliche' says "think outside of the box." But for Valentine's day dudes need to convey how the box fits around them. Meaning don't look…
