So instead of a great guest episode, you have the pleasure of listening to me discuss the do's and dont's of travel to see someone of the opposite sex. Ladies if you want to go visit the dude you met on a vacay please listen to this. Gentlemen if you don't want to be perceived as a creep please listen to this. Hate It or Love It Why do most black people claim to have Indian in their heritage? Feather not Red Dot(Girls Girls Girls) Constructive Criticism is ok, it should not result in a bitchassness response(co @diddy) Why do we assign truth or value to someone's message based on how many people know of them?

Every single year we do the same routine of making promises to ourselves that we stop keeping as soon as the 2nd week of January hits. This year let's do better. Encourage those around you that their dreams/goals are attainable. Hate it Apple and what seems to be their solution to keep people buying new iPhones every year. This may not be the reason but man the conspiracy just seems to fit this one. Cold weather everywhere, unless you're a winter baby or play in the snow this one needs no explanation. The South's love of fried everything. They may be onto something because they sure seem to live longer than the rest of us. Love it Spending NYE at home on the couch.
