The SENSITIVE Man

A woman meets a man in a bar. 

They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together.

They get back to his place,
and he shows her around his apartment.


She notices that one wall of his 
bedroom is completely filled with
soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.

There are three shelves in the 
bedroom, with hundreds and
hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy
bears carefully placed in rows,
covering the entire wall!

It was obvious that he had taken 
quite some time to lovingly arrange
them and she was immediately touched
by the amount of thought he had 
put into organizing the display.

There were small bears all along 
the bottom shelf,

medium-sized bears covering the 
length of the middle shelf,

and huge, enormous bears running 
all the way along the top shelf. 

She found it strange for an obviously
masculine guy to have such a large
collection of Teddy Bears..

She is quite impressed by his sensitive
side but doesn't mention this to him.

 
They share a bottle of wine and continue
talking and, after awhile, she finds herself 
thinking,

'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy 
could be the one!

Maybe he could be the future 
father of my children?'

She turns to him and kisses him 
lightly on the lips.

He responds warmly.
They continue to kiss, the passion
builds, and he romantically lifts her
in his arms and carries her into his
bedroom where they rip off each other's 
clothes and make hot, steamy, passionate love.

She is so overwhelmed that she responds
with more passion, more creativity, more
heat than she has ever known.

 
After an intense, explosive night 
of raw passion with this sensitive guy,
they are lying there together in the afterglow.

The woman rolls over, gently 
strokes his chest and asks coyly,

'Well, how was it?'

 
The guy gently smiles at her,
strokes her cheek,
looks deeply into her eyes,
 
and says:

'Help yourself to any prize
from the middle shelf.'

FELA

The new musical based on the life of African composer and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti comes to Broadway....an Off-Broadway hit in 2008.

Enter the extravagant, decadent, rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo - Kuti. A provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theatre, "FELA!" features arrangements by Aaron Johnson and Antibalas with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones.

Critics were largely enthusiastic about the Off-Broadway production. Bloomberg News called it "electric and eclectic, exotic and hypnotic, at once overpowering and empowering." And the New York Times, despite some qualms, called it "nigh impossible to resist"




May be inappropriate for 12 and under due to strong language and adult subject matter. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre...

*** I would love to get a group to go see this early 2010. Lemme know if you are interested (you know how to contact me) otherwise - I will tell you all about it!

ticket prices: $53.00 - $120.00
running time: 2 hrs 20 mins

$82,000 -- WTF???

This is sad... in every way!

I could care less if Serena is Black, White, or Hindu - it doesn't matter. She is a "HUMAN" who, in the heat of the moment became angry and allowed her emotions to get the best of her. John McEnroe said that her actions were inexcusable! First of all -- John McEnroe!!! (enough said)

Any athlete doing battle to win a tournament or an event deserve to be angry when losing. Serena doesn't enjoy losing and neither should you! We all have competed in something in life before and can accept losing - because it is a fact of life - but can you lose with dignity & pride while knowing that you've been cheated...??? The question was asked would you want your kids to look up to her. Y E S ! This one outburst doesn't define her as a person or the legacy she will leave in the tennis world. Have you ever been to a pro event or a grand slam? Have you sat in the crowd to witness the ugly and harsh things that are yelled out at our athletes (black, white, asian etc.)? Have you ever been called spick, wetback, chink, cracker, monkey and had bananas thrown at you while in the midst of your event? What would you do - would you smile - would you become angry or would you be like Serena and most of our PROFESSIONAL athletes who hold they're composure and continue to serve up a can of whoop-assz!?! We must stop holding athletes at such a high standard as if they are immortals and immune to every day trials and tribulations. They are HUMANS who just so happen to be very good at what they do. It is not the athletes who need to change - it is "WE" who need to change. So yes, I'd advise my two daughters to look up to the Williams Sisters -- be about your business, stand firm in your beliefs and don't except undo sh*t from others. When you compete in this game called
LIFE - believe in yourself - believe you are the best - hold your head high and step out there knowing you can not be defeated.


Stop blaming Richard for the way he raised his children. He prepared them for what was to come. Richard taught his daughters how to perform under extreme pressure! He told them that they were the best and it is my strong belief that many more parents should be telling their kids that they are the best.

Let's re-focus to the REAL problem at hand... Serena & Venus were the only female athletes participating in the US Open to be repeatedly called for "Foot Faults". YES Sereana does foot fault and should be called for it. We are not discussing or debating does she foot fault -- but did she foot fault at that moment.
NO SHE DID NOT! Why is this important? It is an important fact because that wrong call not only caused her to lose the match but it is the reason we are here today discussing this matter.

During this "TIRADE"
(some of you should look up the exact meaning of tirade -- Tirade Definition Definition of Tirade at Dictionary.com) if you listen closely - amongst other things, you will also hear Serena say, "You Better Be Right"! (instant replay proved the line judge to be wrong) Let's not make this a Black vs White issue, but let's make it a fairness issue. IS THIS FAIR? NO! These girls have endured a lot! Some of you - esp. "Peaches" have short memories or selective memories.

Serena and her sister have always been in the center of unjust controversy -- look it up for yourself! Can you remember this "TIRADE"?


Officials apologize to Serena for bad call.Umpire dismissed from US Open after mistake in Williams loss to Capriati. “I called Serena,” said Arlen Kantarian, the Chief Executive of Professional Tennis. “I apologized for the call, the overrule — which was a clear mistake — and told her how important she was to the U.S. Open, how she was a class act and how well she handled the situation last night. “She was very appreciative of the call.” (okay - she was appreciative of the call but did they give her the win or pay her $82,000 for holding her composure? Did anyone apologize to the fans - what about the children who look up to her???)

U.S. Open Tournament Director Jim Curley said, “It was a mistake but she is a very experienced umpire and mistakes get made out there." WTF???

Later in the final set, replays showed at least two other incorrect calls that went against Williams. WTF???

“I’m very angry and bitter right now. I felt cheated. Shall I go on? I just feel robbed,” she said, managing to laugh. “At first, I thought it was another "Wimbledon Conspiracy” where here Sister Venus lost in the second round that summer at Wimbledon after Karolina Sprem was mistakenly awarded an extra point in the final-set tiebreaker. Venus did not contest the call, and later - chair umpire Ted Watts was tossed out of the tournament. Should Venus have been awarded the title or better yet $82,000 for acting "Lady Like"? Did anyone apologize to the fans - what about the children who look up to her???

Why are rules not equal? Why is it a violation for one and not the other...? i.e. Dinara Safina foot faulted 11 times that was recorded and replayed on TV and she was not called for 1. As a matter of fact - almost every time she serves it is a foot fault. Her right leg crosses the center line nearly every time - which is a foot fault. Someone said that if a pro basketball player threatened an official that they would be suspended for 1yr and fined. I agree - they would be ejected and penalized. The decision will be handed out swiftly - not debated upon for months. WTF??? Also does anyone know how those #'s were calculated and how did they come up with the total fine amount? Or did all of the cheaters on the committee decide that $82,000 divided amongst one another will be great "Stocking Stuffers"? I mean who does this fine benefit -- and isn't it kind of ironic that it happened just before Christmas? Why didn't he just say, "Hey Serena - my son needs tuition to go to Princeton - can you help? Oh great - - thanks - - we except direct deposit by the way!

Can anyone see the pattern? All of these mistakes that just happens to only happen to the Williams Sisters? So please don't sit on your highness and be so swift to judge -- and for all of you saying, "it's only $82,000 -- she can afford it" WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU FROM...???

I will end with this...
THIS IS WRONG!

"You don't know me! You better be right!"

Serena Williams has been listed as a headliner for this year's Australian Open. The problem is that it's not clear whether she'll be allowed to play.

Because of a recent outburst in which she threatened a line judge, Williams may be banned from at least one Grand Slam tournament. According to published reports, Williams told the judge, "You don't know me. You better be right. I swear to God I'm going to take this ball and shove it down your throat."Given that a ball going down your throat might actually kill you, the judge felt that Serena had threatened her life. Then again, Serena's from Compton, a town that has become famous for finding creative ways to kill people. Serena does not, however, need to take "the hood" with her all the way to Australia.

To make matters more interesting, Serena recently got naked for the cover of ESPN magazine, certifying her status as an iconic and thought-provoking figure for the early 21st century. These two events, plus the fact that she just happens to be one of the most dominant female tennis players in history, makes her the kind of woman we'll all be talking about for the next 100 years. Our great-grandkids won't be talking much about the boring apolitical figure called Michael Jordan. We'll congratulate Tiger Woods for being the first incredibly rich black man to consistently beat the crap out of the arrogant guys at the country club. Serena Williams' name, though, will come up in classes on feminist theory, history and sociology. Like Muhammad Ali, Serena is becoming bigger than her sport, and my greatest hope is that her ability to transcend tennis is guided by a desire to serve all humanity, and not just herself. Her nude body on the cover of ESPN is her way of yelling to the world that she is more than a tennis player. I agree that she is.

Someone asked me if I think that race plays a role in the banning of Serena Williams. I say, absolutely, yes, but not in the way you may imagine. You see, race and racism permeate the fabric of our society and play a powerful role in our perceptions, actions and attitudes. Even things that appear to have nothing to do with race end up having everything to do with race.

Those who dislike Serena do not hate her for having black skin, they hate her for "acting black." The cultural norms and attitudes that Serena carries as a black woman are heavily influenced by her Compton upbringing. Serena's strong response to the official might be inappropriate to the majority of non-black Americans, but many African Americans might be more likely to understand or forgive her seemingly aggressive behavior. (My mama threatened to kill me quite a few times growing up.) This does not, in any way, imply that misbehaving is "a black thing," (we all saw John McEnroe) or that black people are more aggressive. It simply says that the method for handling disputes might vary across cultural lines.

Those who know nothing about Serena's background are not going to understand Serena and will thus disapprove of some of her behavior. Human nature dictates that we tend to dislike those who are different, which is why the officials end up hating Serena. Even before the incident took place, many officials had already found the behavior of the Williams sisters to be unacceptable, similar to the way a white school teacher from the suburbs is five times more likely to decide that a black male student has a behavioral disorder. The truth is that the world has never seen a woman like Serena Williams, and it probably never will again.

I congratulate Serena for her boldness and expression of independent thought. Simultaneously, I encourage her to show a bit more discipline on the court, since there is no need to "get gangsta" with a line judge - although the call was WRONG!

I can't believe that they are actually considering banning Serena. Let's be honest and clear - THIS IS A MATTER OF RACE! Does she deserve to be punished for her actions - YES.

Serena Williams was fined $10,000 for her actions at the end of her semifinal loss to Kim Clijsters at the U.S. Open.

The amount is the largest fine that is allowed to be issued by a Grand Slam tournament for unsportsmanlike conduct. She was also fined an additional $500 for racquet abuse at the conclusion of the first set.

If that isn't punishment -- I don't know what is...! So for those of you saying she will be made an example of -- you are absolutly correct. They are about to show they're "True Colors"!

The Other Stall

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN 2 U...!



I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
"Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom. I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
"Doin' just fine!"

And the other person says:
"So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm like you, just sitting here."

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question:
"Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say:
"No........I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the person say, nervously:
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!"

and the Stella Award goes to…

During the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII, the world was given an all access pass into Janet Jackson's wardrobe. At the end of the performance of Timberlake's "Rock Your Body," he was supposed to rip Janet's bustier and leave her red lace bra intact but of course, things didn't go according to plan and Janet was instead stripped down to a lone pasty.

The "wardrobe" malfunction stirred so much controversy that it earned Janet a place in the Guinness book of world records as "The Most Searched in Internet History" -- surpassing even searches for the September 11th attacks.

Although I was pleasantly surprised - I saw it as a humorous, awful disaster. Within hours later the rumors started – was this a “PLANNED” mistake…? hmm -- well let’s dig a little deeper. If you look at the close-up below you see that it is clear how her nipple ornament is affixed. Also -- where is the bra...? If you noticed in the picture above - she has on a red bra -- how did the right side of her bra magically break away... yelp - not torn - not ripp'd - not a sign of shredded fabric - just snached clean off... (things that make you go hmmmm)




The exposure of Jackson's nipple shield led to much media controversy and headlines. Media watchdog group Parents Television Council issued a statement that same day condemning the halftime show, announcing that their members would file indecency complaints with the FCC and the council supported the FCC's decision to investigate the halftime show immediately.In addition, the FCC received nearly 540,000 complaints from Americans, with the PTC claiming responsibility for around 65,000 of them.

If that isn't enough a woman filed a federal lawsuit seeking billions of dollars for herself and her family who watched the halftime show for their "outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury".

Have "WE" as Americans gotten that shallow and desperate? I have done a lot of things in my life but I can honestly say that I have never been angry, embarrassed, or seriously injured by a BOOB...! This "Wardrobe Mishap" happened in 2004, but unbeknown to most of us -- the case was pending since 2004 and has just recently been thrown out of court.

Let's get real here. Yeah, Janet was trying to grab the spotlight to hype her new Damita Jo album -- So what?! The world comes screeching to a halt because of a one-second peek-a-boob? But a federal investigation? Let’s talk about a misuse of taxpayer’s money. Nobody remembers how good the game was or how many yards Tom Brady rushed for to barely beat the Carolina Panther 32-29."
Many have forgotten that there was a streaker running around the field nearly-naked except for some writing on his body which read "SUPER BOWEL" and an advertisement for online betting website - whom later complained, "If she hadn't done that I would have been front page material

Only in America was there such an uproar and Public negative reaction. In Canada, and abroad where the show was broadcast the incident passed largely without controversy. As we all know every action demands a reaction. The aftermath and effects of this stunt has caused more censorship and regulation of broadcasting. So I just want to say Stank You Miss Jackson and the next time you are invited to perform at a half time show – we demand that you dress appropriately --

Apparently -- not EVERYONE was outraged by this event. As a matter of fact it has sparked a slew of Copycat Exposers…


-- I take back what I said earlier -- im mad at that breast...!

Not to be outdone by the likes of Hilary or Condoleezza Rice, Janet and Justine Timberlake took their show on the road. After completing their final SuperBowl Tour appearance in Paris they released this statement, "If you want something done right the first time - do it yourself!"

Good Luck Getting Around D.C. On Inauguration Day

On a typical weekday, hundreds of thousands of people commute to the nation's capital, snarling roads and packing subway trains and buses during peak hours.

Imagine multiplying that several times for Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20.

"I don't want in any way to discourage anyone," said the District of Columbia's city administrator, Dan Tangherlini. "I just don't want them to come and be completely shocked by what they find."

It won't be pleasant, Tangherlini and other officials say.

The Washington area's transit system is telling passengers to expect extraordinarily long lines for trains and buses. Airports will be bustling with extra flights. Traffic could be at a standstill as motorists cope with street and bridge closings. Those who do manage to arrive in Washington will find limited parking.

"Pack your patience" is the advice from Corinne Geller, a Virginia State Police spokeswoman.

Amtrak is expanding service between Boston and Washington on Inauguration Day. Southwest Airlines is adding 26 flights to and from the region between Jan. 17 and Jan. 23. Delta Air Lines and its subsidiary, Northwest Airlines, are adding more than 5,000 seats Jan. 16 and Jan. 21 by using larger aircraft on existing flights. Airport officials say they will add staff to help guide travelers.

Virginia State Police plan to bring troopers from across the state to monitor expected gridlock outside Washington, Geller said. Maryland transportation officials are urging truck drivers and other commercial drivers to avoid the area.

Major bridges into the city, such as the Roosevelt, Memorial and inbound Key bridges, will be open only to buses and official inaugural traffic, Tangherlini said. A complete list of road closures will be released early this week, according to the Secret Service.

Prepare for the unexpected, authorities and inaugural organizers say.

"We also recommend developing backup plans in case your original travel plans need to be changed at the last minute," the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies said in a recent advisory.

Given the impending headaches, some would-be revelers are staying home.

Larry Froneyberger of Atlanta planned to pick up his 68-year-old grandmother, Francine, from High Point, N.C., on his way to the inauguration. They were going to stay in Baltimore and take the train into Washington.

She was excited about the prospect of witnessing the first black president, especially because she grew up during a time when that seemed impossible, Froneyberger said. But with her slow stride due to foot surgery last year, the transportation situation was too overwhelming.

"It's going to be a lot of waiting and she was like, 'I just can't do it,'" Froneyberger said.

Even cab drivers are thinking twice about working that day, said William J. Wright, president of the Taxicab Industry Group in Washington.

Wright said he has driven his cab during past inaugurations—including John F. Kennedy's—but based on what he's hearing, he expects gridlock for this one to be the worst.

"I don't see how a cab driver can make any money, to be honest with you, because he can't go anywhere," he said.

Others are willing to brave it, despite the many inconveniences.

Tony Vincent of northeast Washington said he will take the subway into Union Station, where he shines shoes. Depending on how many people step on his shoes on the packed train, he may need a polish of his own, he said.

"I know it's going to be crazy," he said. "It might be a little uncomfortable."

While government workers are off that day, some sectors are requiring employees to show up.

Nicholas Ramfos, who heads Commuter Connections, a nonprofit group that coordinates commuter programs in Washington, is recommending that employers allow workers to telecommute or shift their hours outside of peak inaugural travel time.

Besides biking or public transport, he suggests people take a look at his group's car pool list to find others who work or live near them.

For some people, leaving the city isn't an option.

Emily Durso, president of the Hotel Association of Washington, D.C., said hotels will be fully staffed, with many people working multiple shifts. Her group represents 97 hotels in Washington, and she said a number of them plan to set up cots for employees at the hotels or in empty apartments.

"We've never had anything like this," she said. "It's just a whole different animal in many ways."
