Rising Icons: J.Cole
I'm itching to hear his début album and The Warm Up is one of the most played rap albums (its actually a mix-tape but I reckon its good enough to be a album)that I've listened to since The Game's The Documentary.
I like his story telling ability and that he is not your bubble gum/dope selling/all about yo paper "rapper". His style kinda reminds me of Tupac,Nas,Common. Aside from this he is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant pool of rap and I can't wait for his album Cole World.
Anyways, after an evening prowling youtube for some new music I was glad to come across this BET special so check it out to get a glimpse of the artist.

10 Things Women Obsess Over That Most Men Don’t Care That Much About | Clutch Magazine: The Digital Magazine for the Young, Contemporary Woman of Color
I just had to repost/share this. Read on ladies ;-)
10 Things Women Obsess Over That Most Men Don’t Care That Much About | Clutch Magazine: The Digital Magazine for the Young, Contemporary Woman of Color
“I have extremely large nipples, and feel like they make my DD breasts look weird. I am only 20, and very self conscious about my chest appearing saggy. Do guys care about nipple size?”
At VerySmartBrothas.com, (my blogging partner) Panama and I regularly receive emails like this; questions that help to drive home the idea that many women make their dating and relationship lives much harder than they have to be by driving themselves crazy over things that won’t affect a man’s opinion of and level of attraction for her.
To save our sisters from more unnecessary heartache, here’s 10 Things Women Tend to Obsess Over That Most Men Don’t Care That Much About
1. Saggy Boobs
While it’s safe to say that men probably aren’t going to go gaga if your boobs look like you’ve duct taped two deflated water balloons to your chest, we realize that boobs (especially big boobs) tend to sag and we’re perfectly ok with that. In fact, it’s actually kind of hot to take off a woman’s bra and watch her boobs fall and sprint out of that bitch like Usain Bolt.
2. Stretch Marks
As long as they’re not on your forehead, we’re good.
3. How soon you’ve “given it up”
While it’s true that a guy’s opinion of you might change if you don’t wait until a “suitable” (And, remember, “suitable” is completely arbitrary) time has passed before deciding to sleep with him, this only makes a difference if he wasn’t really that into in the first place and is basically just looking for a reason to eliminate you.
If he really likes you, it won’t matter if you slept with him after four great dates or four great days, he’s still going to think just as highly of you afterward.
4. How much you eat
It amazes me to hear about a grown woman ordering a Caesar salad and ice water on her date, only to have to cut it short because her stomach is growling like Busta Rhymes in the Scenario video. Granted, when the menu comes, its probably not a good look to tell the waiter “Yeah, just gimme page 2“, but if we wanted to date someone who looked and ate like a six year old boy we would have been Catholic priests.
5. Gifts
Although we love gifts as much as anyone else, our love for them is more “Cool. New stuff.” than “Wow! She really must have taken a lot of time to think about this.“ The thought doesn’t count any more than a gift card does.
6. Whether your expert-level bedroom prowess will scare us away
***Channeling Katt Williams***
Never in the history of mankind has a man slept with a woman and thought to himself “Damn! She’s. amazing! I had no idea a wet elbow could do so many things. She’s so freaky in fact that she must have actually had sex with someone else before she met me. Since that’s probably true, I can’t continue to date her.”
7. Your hair anywhere other than the top of your head
Again, while having legs that feel like brown sugar cactuses when they’re laying next to you isn’t exactly sexy, obsessing to the point of neurosis over your eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, and pubic area just makes us think you’re even crazier than we already think you are.
8. What it smells like down there
Obviously, cleanliness is next to godliness, but as long as it doesn’t seem like you’ve been spraying “Sex Panther” by Odeon between your legs, you have nothing to be too self-conscious about.
9. Whether we’ll be upset that your jeans are Target Brand instead of True Religion
There’s actually a word for guys who really care about stuff like that, and it starts with ‘h” and rhymes with “logoplaxical”.
10. Your age
I’m not going to say that age doesn’t matter, but most guys are more concerned with how old a woman looks and acts than how old she actually is. We’d much rather be with an active and youthful 35 year old than a 25 year old who looks like she lived through and slept with The Great Depression.

Tips to staying healthy during winter
Winter is upon us and I am on my guard trying to avoid getting sick myself and my family ill. Here are a few tips I've found and will be trying to ensure we make it through the winter a little less out of pocket (due to doctor's visits) and in better shape than we did last year.
Eat healthy
Make sure to eat lots of vegetables and fruit to ensure your body has what it needs to put up a good fight against those bugs and keep your fluids up. Taking vitamins will also help. Also get into excerise so that your body has a good chance of keep up a defensive against illness.
Get enough rest
Making sure you get the recommended eight hours of sleep. This will help your body with fighting off illnesses. Several sites recommend developing a bed time routine so that your body learns to anticipate sleep.
Sanitise
Use hand sanitisers to avoid and clean up your living spaces and communal items like mouses/phones/remotes to avoid germ spreading.
Keep covered
Cover your mouth/face when coughing or sneezing (sanitise after) and keep warm.
Be safe and stay healthy!

The OTHER Avatar
There are those of you who will be familiar with the popular Avatar: the Legend of Aang(The Last Airbender) cartoon series that screens daily on Nickelodeon. This is one of the few kiddie/tween animations that I watch (and wish I could follow if I had time) and enjoy. With numerous animation-real life adaptaions that have been undertaken in the last five years, I am eager to see how this translates on the big screen.
I spotted the trailer over on youtube. Titled The Last Airbender, it is Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (I had to go back and make sure I spelt it right lol and features what looks to be an unknown cast but includes Dev Patel (Slum Dog Millionaire) as the arche nemisis Zuko. I would have loved to see a few more asians casted in the lead roles (seeing as the animated charecters are asian) but we'll see how this turns out.
