Ludacris - Release Therapy (2006)

Very interesting! More of a review to come once I can get to my laptop to install this on my phone...

" When you send a message in Slam, it is automatically sent to everyone in the group to which you sent it. For smartphone users that have the Slam client installed, their phone will buzz and they will have an indication on their phone's home screen that there is a new message. "

" Scenarios for Slam

• Real-time Coordination: Out on a Friday night? No need to decide on a place and time to meet in advance, just send a message to your friends when you're ready to go and see where everybody is. Some people may be at a restaurant, others on the move, but everybody can send messages and coordinate immediately. Imagine coordinating a ski trip this way, too.
• Instant Group Photo Sharing: You are always seeing beautiful and interesting things, but it's too hard to send pictures to people with your cameraphone. Use Slam to take a picture and send it to a group of friends with only a few clicks. Try forming a "celebrity sightings" cameraphone group or share pictures with your family throughout your day.
• Broadcast communication: Need a babysitter? Send a message to your "babysitters" group saying "Can someone come over for a few hours right now?" All your potential sitters get the message right when you send it, wherever they are.

Sometimes It Be's Like That

Sometimes It Be's Like That

"Once upon a time at Howard, a young man mustered up all the courage he could to ask a special young lady on a date.

Without second thought, the young lady rejected him, because of course he’d always be there."

I stopped right there. Don't even know what this article is about yet... even this second. I'm floored by that. Is that really how it is? It's "No" simply because he actually cares and means what he says?! If he was bullshitting... then he would get a yes?! I'm floored. I've actually been reading about this type of thing... and everything I read actually says just that. Me being me, I'm still in denial... things CAN'T be that way! That can't be how life is... if so... who wants such a life? How can people live that way? It ain't worth it if that's really "how it be".

---

Alright... so I read the article. Amber English goes on to criticize the situation. Basically, rushed situations can turn sour, being too patient can leave you "in the shoes of the special young lady in the opening of this piece", and so on.. in conclusion; it's a game of balance.

On the other hand, away from people doing the rejecting, there are the people that are afraid of being rejected. I personally think this aspect is far underestimated. For all those people that play games such as the one displayed above, they are taking for granted what many a desirable man is not yet capable of. I believe it takes far more to spill one's guts than women give it credit for. Often you hear women complain of the wrong type of people approaching them, but out of the few righteous men actually about something, they shun away with thoughts like "they'll always be around". That type of activity is not cohesive to being asked out by more respectable men.

The article closes with stating that missed opportunities aren't the end of the world. Simply straighten up and be prepared for the next chance at finding Mr./Mrs. Right. I was at first disturbed, but I think it’s evident that some people indeed do think that way. May god keep those people away from me.

HU !!!

Only at Howard. Only at Howard can we pull these kind of acts. Only here can we get these ppl DIRT CHEAP, cause you know Howard ain't paying 'em anything. Amazing.

Only here can we pull big names for Damian Marley to perform at our selfish little homecoming and charge a lonely $35 dollars for it... AND guest performer Fay Ann Lyons. Only here do we get acts like Xzibit, Eminem, Young Guns, Trick Daddy, & etc. to perform absolutely free at yardfest, just so that they can be part of OUR homecoming. It's quite wild when you think about it. I dont know any other university getting that type of attention for their homecoming. If HU is good at nothing else, I guess you can say they do at least one thing to its full potential... and that's party!

Comedy Show '06: Steve Harvey

... didn't know that Steve Harvey had a morning show in WHUR... perhaps I should start paying attention to that station.

Cocoa Brown:
“When I realized you guys had a network, I sent out a blog asking you guys to tell me about what goes on”
What exactly does "sent out a blog" mean? I'm sorry.. is blog synonymous with e-mail now? ... somebody let me know.

Interesting little site. A good way to skyrocket your text messaging bill... and your friends' too while you're at it.

Toldja So!

It's my time to say I told you so. This was about 9 months ago that I blogged about this. Now LifeHacker is just now getting on top of it.

This is why I don't watch television. This is why I'm completely uncompatiable with commercials at this point. This is why comcast can kiss my ass.

The Roots - Things Fall Apart (1999)

It's been some time since the ground-breaking "BLAH!!!" post.. (may it never happen again).

I feel like I owe some type of explanation. I'd prefer to act like it didn't happen. At least I can say all that frustration is gone, and has been for a while. It was a bad state to be in.

Of course there's more to it, but I feel that's all I owe the www. I'm no longer in that "sharing everything" mood. For those of you that know me, you know how to ask.
