Cosmetic Politicians By Mel


This generation seems to be drawn into the Hollywood land where propaganda rules everything.  Those who have no media literacy cannot tell the difference between fiction and non-fiction which can have dire consequences in our society.  Back then, TV was used as a medium to educate the masses, now cosmetic appearance replaced real base information.  It has even selected our new president Donald Trump.  This is why you must read between the lines when you are focus on the media.  One of my favorite movies which explained this theory pretty well is titled, “The Matrix” where the character Neo’s mind is imprison within an artificial reality.  I feel the same logic applies in today’s society because people now based their actions off of emotions instead of thinking things through.  I will give you an example, last year’s election quite honestly was based off of emotion.  Today’s politicians disregard issues affecting the American people.  What these slimy worms used in placed are slogans to build a strong rapport to disengage the public thought process.  It is a very manipulative way to obtain and remain in power.  This is why it is so important to educate yourself and understand our laws that may affect your way of living.  Most people try to get all philosophical about withholding their vote which is such a poor lazy excuse to challenge the system.  In order to change the game you have to participate in the game, plain and simple.  Work on educating yourself and stop allowing the media to deceive you.

Single Fathers should get more exposure By Mel

Father! - To God himself we cannot give a holier name by William Wordsworth is such a powerful quote.   I would like to say single and non-residential fathers are portrayed in the media as irresponsible and non-supportive to their kids.   Well, I’m here to share with you through some research that it is not entirely true.   Even though single and non-residential fathers as a whole are an understudied group there’s still some truth that single and supportive non-residential fathers do exist.   Some fathers are working 2 part-time jobs and are unable to get government assistance.   The media rarely report positive fathers working 7 days a week with no days off, struggling paycheck to paycheck.    For myself as a non-residential father, I still support my daughter in every aspect, however the role of a father is never recognize or acknowledge for my continuous involvement.   ·          A Non-resident...

Attack of the Clones, Brothers Be Yourself By Mel

Yes, this is very true.   Brothers who violate this rule prove that they are insecure within themselves.   They worry about what the next brother is wearing, how much money he makes, what kind of car he drives, etc.   Meanwhile their mind is fixated on you and wonders why your format is not the same as theirs.   Why are you not following the latest trend in fashion?   Why are you not driving the latest car?   This makes me sick to my stomach.   If you come across one of these “ Clones ” do not panic, get nervous or be embarrassed.   Instead their opinion of you should be irrelevant because deep down inside they wish they WERE you. Let me explain, a “ Clone ” is a person who does not have a mind of their own. Within this cultural landscape he will follow his flock of sheep and they are not hard to find.   Just go to the latest club, take a walk downtown or even look out your window. For example, Little Trey may wear skinny jeans with his...

No Love in the Club The 90/10 Rule By Vaughn James

If you’re in your mid 30’s or just turned 40, you shouldn’t be in the club every weekend. Guys, you seriously don’t want to be the sleazy old man in the club. And ladies, you shouldn’t be out getting your drink on, leaving your fourteen year old teenager to watch your younger kids. The fact is, even when we were all young, the chances that men and women could find a meaning full relationship in a club was next to zero, but closer to 5%. “Wait a minute”, you may ask, “how can that be quantified?” I’ll explain. Simply, when we go out to the clubs, 90% of the men are trying to get with 10% of the women and 90% of the women are trying to get with 10% of the men. So, the likelihood that there will be any kind of real hookup is 5%, half of 10%. Besides, the club is a terrible place to meet someone. They are overly hyped by the radio station and promoters, who make it seem like your life will end if you don’t go to their club Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, the mixed alco...
