6 Black Presidents Before Barack Obama
* 1. Thomas Jefferson the third elected president, who served two terms between 1801 and 1809 was described as the “son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father,” as stated in Vaughn’s findings. Jefferson also was said to have destroyed all documentation attached to his mother, even going to extremes to seize letters written by his mother to other people. Only...

From the creator of JOHNNY CUPCAKES
Randomly putting baked items on t-shirts and having an entire brand revolve around it is free for anyone to do. I don’t own food. However, I did indeed start this brand of mine 8 years ago, having it’s main focus be revolved around cupcakes and anything associated with it. In the independent t-shirt industry, I believe I was the first person to go...

The World Ain't All Sunshine and Rainbows
Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbow.
It is a very mean and nasty place
And it will beat you to your knees
And keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit.
It’s about how hard you can get hit
And keep moving forward.
How much you can take
And keep moving...

O' Eight was Great, but HELLO to Two Thousand and...
I think that this is my last post for this year and a great 08 it has been. I’ve come into my own, and learned so much about myself that I sometimes surprise myself. I’ve made a couple new friends and dropped several others, becuz dead weight is a hindrance to the success I foresee for myself (and others in my circle). But fa real, fa real, thanks to everyone who supports my very...

Happy Holidays.... still?
Hi darlings:
Yeah it’s still considered the holidays. But after a very whack Christmas (worse in my life), I have to get ready for the new year. Everybody’s saying it, but 09 is really going to be my year. “Why so?” you say. Well, unlike other years, I never planned for anything. Up to now, things have just happened for me (or to me). I actually have a plan for 2009. And...
USB Mix-Tape
suck uk have come over all nostalgic and designed the usb mix-tape, a 4 port high speed USB 2.0 cassette hub. Recalling the days when giving someone a mix-tape meant so much more, taking hours of tape deck synchronization and editing, rather than just clicking ‘burn’.

WatchFOUNDING FATHERS:
Did Hip-Hop Begin in the Bronx?
If you’re like me, then the current state of hip-hop doesn’t excite you as much as its pioneering stages. This video is a release by Forbez DVD, a documentary type production that argues that hip-hop began in the Brooklyn, not in the Bronx, as hip-hop history bio’s suggest.

Liquid Lamp
Am I morbid? Or am I just feeling this liquid art entirely too much?
The Liquid Lamp (JPY 19,950; about $227) looks like an overturned bucket spilling blood. This lamp will stand by frozen liquid(blood) oozing onto the table or down the wall, depending on the lamp’s style. Cool design! I wonder if you can decorate the lamp shade…

WatchBeyonce’s “Diva” video
While others may have liked the video, and been excited about it, I was quite disappointed. Let me tell you why:
Beyonce is feeling herself too much. And not in a good way. I guess her marraige to Jay-Z has put her on a new level of “Diva” (or maybe that’s Sasha and not Beyonce) and there isn’t much that she feels that she has to...
