Happy Belated birthday to all my Aries people. I just celebrated my birthday and special dinners and cakes were in full effect. But that’s ok, ‘cause I’m back on my deen. I’m eating the right food and back in the gym. Which leads me to what I want to talk about today. All of […]

Since Earth Day is coming quick, April 22 for those that don’t know, I thought it would be cool to show a few earth friendly gadgets. The problem with a lot of electronics is when we’re done with them, we throw them away. They end up in land fills, and a lot of the circuit […]
Can we get real for a minute, AllHipHop? It’s a fact that no one ever notices a star (the ones in the sky) until it’s shining above our heads at night. We don’t get to witness the time period where it exists as nothing more than a shapeless cloud of celestial matter, often, for […]

For opposing players, coaches, and fans, Bruce Bowen is a lot like the dirty old man at the Y. Few players can generate the same kind of annoyance and frustration quite like the San Antonio Spurs forward can. On the court, he’s a hyperactive pest when he chases around opponents on D. Bruce […]
Growing up on TV with a wholesome image can be a good thing – that is, until your personal life ends up in the tabloids, or until you want to take on a role that doesn’t involve being Mr. Nice Guy. Wilmer Valderrama knows all too well the ails of being hounded by the […]
Good day fat smashers. First and foremost, I want to thank all my people that hit me up from last week’s column and gave me words of encouragement and told me their own stories. It really motivated me to stay in that gym and give it that extra effort. Thanks fellow fat smashers. […]
Cotto and Margarito Deliver in Showcase Bouts An uncharacteristically cocky Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) brutalized overmatched Alfonso Gomez (18-4-2, 8 KOs) this past Saturday to retain his WBA welterweight title.

When we dream, we usually recall small parts or nothing at all. Sometimes it’s a beautiful dream or a nightmare, but the thought of a “Beautiful Nightmare” is an example of hyperbole that only Mrs. Beyonce Knowles-Carter can pull off.
