Telephone Love – What Everyone Misses About the ’90’s
Guys: “Yo Is that Tamika? Damn she got fly over the summer!” Gals: “Who’s that new dude in our science class? He’s cute.” Remember the days when you met or saw that crush; your first crush? That person who walked in the room and instantly grabbed your attention? It could have been the way they walked, talked, dressed, or smelled. And it didn’t even matter whether or not he/she was unattractive to others but to you he was fine and she was dope.

10 Things Every Father Should Teach Their Sons
Any man can be a father but not every man can be a dad. This is a rather true statement. There are some men out there who have left their responsibilities because maybe, just maybe they didn’t know HOW to be a dad and show their son the way. Well I’m not a guru on lots of things, but I hope this list of things can be an “instruction manual” so to speak. An 099 class (for all of you college goers).
