"THE TOP TEN CASES OF MEN WHO CAN'T KEEP IT IN THEIR PANTS"
/Written & Drawn By Lena Hopkins-Jackson
10. SWIZZ BEATZ …Okay we all know Alicia Keys is a gorgeous,11 time-Grammy award wining artist BUT imagine how mega producer Swizz Beatz's soon-to-be ex wife Mashonda felt when Lil’ Miss “Teenage Love Affair” kept on falling in and out of Love with HER husband!!! I even read that the heart-broken Mrs. Beatz has been calling Alicia out on 'Twitter', (Oooh! Can 'Facebook' be next?) Well, let's just hope he used some "Ruff Rider”condoms, no tellin’ what else Alicia’s been fallin’ in and out of before Swizz.... After all, talent ain't synonymous with clean, and AIDS is very real.
9. SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS….Edwards is worse than arm-pit sweat considering HE is the one that cheated on his loyal,cancer-ridden wife , ended up with a love child to boot and if nominated would have slid his slimy,scandalous butt right into the democratic spot( ensuring that McCain would've been president!!) That alone earns him a public beat-down and I’m praying for Elizabeth Edwards’ speedy recovery so she can be the one to do it!
8. GOVERNOR MARK SANFORD.....WOW, the Argentinean women in Buenos-Aires must have Aztec gold between their legs, why else would South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford risk everything ( including a shot at the White house!) just for some chocha! Apparently muy caliente’ chocha at that since this jerk even forgot it was 'Father’s Day' it was so good, I wonder if Sanford remembered using taxpayer money to fly to see his mistress, or wanting to impeach President Clinton for HIS affair OR trying to refuse federal funds to help the unemployed? Ladies & gentlemen, this guy needs an enema!
7. BRAD PITT....Now, I like Brad Pitt, I like Angelina Jolie too...but wrong is WRONG! How would YOU feel if your spouse went off to their job, left you for their co-worker, and everybody in the office knew! Well, the whole WORLD knew about this affair and several years later Hollywood is STILL trying to soothe poor, sweet Jennifer Aniston’s ego by offering her movie role after movie role( no matter how much she sucks in them ! ) As for Angelina, she's a man-eater but I gotta’ give props: any chick who can make a man leave his publically-adored & childless wife to go start a 'Rainbow-Coalition-Tribe-From-Around-The- World' with another chick,plus leave Hollywood to go live in (post Katrina) New Orleans-----> needs to bottle that stuff up & sell it on EBayto the highest bidder!
6. BILL CLINTON... What’s to say about"Slick Willie", I eagerly voted for him twice and would have voted for his wife if President Obama had not run, BUT you would think after all those years of whore-doggin’ that Bill could have found a broad that can keep her mouth shut……um, afterward! ;-)
5. LIONEL RICHIE.....Everything was “Easy Like Sunday Morning” for the ex-commodore turned super star until he left his college sweetheart Brenda, for a younger & ( *GASP!*) White woman behind her back! Well, Miz. Richie TRULY wasn’t leaving without a fight; literally! A third-degree black-belt, Brenda Richie went straight Bruce Leroy and “Raaaah-YUKEN-ed!!” both of ‘em...ALL NIGHT LONG! Forget Mike, I wanna’ be like Brenda Richie!!
4. KWAME KILPATRICK.... Then there's the 'Player-Mayor' from Detroit, you would think a big,ole-swole’ Suge Knight lookin' politician like Kwame would know how to handle his bidness without scandal ,but naw! This guy gets caught using of all things: the OFFICE cell-phone to text his mistress!!! (when will folks learn, 'Big Brother' has been watching since "1984"!) With his political & legal career pretty much a wrap, I’m guessing opening a chain of “Big Pimpin’ Men’s Apparel stores is his best bet!
3. DONALD TRUMP.... When you have money like 'The Donald', it would seem that rules that normal people are governed by don’t apply to you....sadly, often they don't. Trump got tired of his first wife Ivanna, so he upgraded to Marla Maples , Trump got tired of her and upgraded to third wife Melania. With all those Trump Billions, it seems he would’ve upgraded to a new barber by now and told the old one “YOU’RE FIRED!” I mean how hard is it to do a decent comb over..... really.
2. GOVERNOR ELIOT SPITZER… $10,000-a-night for ONE hooker???? Puh-leaze,I think you could book the entire female cast of “The Player's Club” for that price, anybody seen Lisa Raye or the chick that played ‘Ronnie' on screen lately?...EXACTLY!
..AND "THE NUMBER 1# CASE OF A MAN WHO CAN'T KEEP IT IN HIS PANTS... (drum roll pleaze!) BOBBY BROWN!!.....C'mon we all saw it happening. I’m sure his peeps warned him to sit his dumb @ss down, be a 'kept man', and enjoy the good life! I bet even “New Edition”tried to SING it to him: “Bobby, be careful of Every-Little-Step-You-Take with those Tenderonies on the side, cuz’ EVERYBODY knows you’re humpin’ around!" But noooooo, Bobby just HAD to be stupid and go sleep on professional jump-off'Superhead's' couch and get video-taped!( I'm sayin'....c'mon dawg'..."Superhead" ???? That broad would write a 'tell-all' about her son feelin’ up on the girlies by his locker if she thought it would sell!) Next thang' you know, Whitney is being consoled by Oprah( ...and once Oprah gets involved...it's over) Last I heard, Bobby’s praying for "VH1 Behind The Music" to call back for part two, ….. keep waitin' pawtnuh!

FINAL TRAMUEL
/
Yesterday I turned 21 a year older, being the intelligently hedonistic person that I am my thoughts turned to my children and how proud I am of them; a daughter whom started College this year, my oldest son starting High School and my youngest son just starting school. I’m really excited that I’m almost finished paying child support! proud of them. They all have different personalities but very similar commonalities.
They all have my last name with the exception of mini me whose mother was on some ole next sh*t decided to hyphenate his last name using my last name first. But that’s another Blog Topic … this is about the fact that between myself, my 3 children, a male cousin and his daughter we are the last to carry the surname Tramuel.
What does my last name mean? If you have ever wondered about the meaning of your last name, where your family lived, what they did, or how they looked, you may find your surname may answer some of these questions about your ancestors. Tramuel is unique in that no other family, at least I haven’t found to be using this particular variation / spelling. Conversations with my mother who is the youngest of 13 children between my Grandfather “A Message to Share” and Grandmother “Fostering Family Talents” have led me to believe that we shouldn’t assume your surname was always spelled the way it is spelled today. Not sure of the exact time Census information started being collected but if you think about it, take the 1800’s when many people were illiterate, names were written by clerks, officials, and priests as they heard the name pronounced. This could have led to different spellings for the same name.
I’ve found a very, very close match with whom I assume to be my grandfather’s father and will continue my search from this new found information. A funny point to add, my aunt told my mother that my grandfather may have used his brother’s first name after he passed.
Surnames were generally derived from one of four sources:
1) Patronymic (from the first name of father)
2) Lives near locality or place
3) Occupation or social status
4) Nicknames describing person or personality
I need a flowchart to figure Tramuel into any of these categories.
A FULLER PERSPECTIVE | WE'RE SORRY...YOU'RE RACE CARD HAS BEEN DECLINED
/The problem is we're sorry sir,
Your Race Card's been declined,
You could've used it years ago,

Don't act like you can't hustle,
Seen your curbside marketing skills,
The mark-up for profit is less son,
But I know you can close deals,
For Black Men in America,
A new standard's been set,
Heres your stop get off the ride,
Hey, are we there yet?
We've got a few more blocks to go,
But give thanks for the lift,
So many before did the grunt work,

/Fall in Love with the Idea of being in love ....
For Men Who Want Head in The Whip
/Show your woman how much you care, improve yourself by acting as this
list suggests. It's unfortunate that we're so insensitive that we
actually need a list like this. Do what it says and you'll be getting
head in the whip in no time!!!!
1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better." This
will keep her on her toes, and women love that.
2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of
weakness. If she grabs your hand, squeeze hers really, really hard
until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong
man you are.
3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Women
are like dogs. They love to be roughed up.
4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If
she is, say "you'd better be." Repeat this 4 or 5 times until
morning. This will show her you care.
5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be
her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement,
and every girl needs some improvement.
6. Recognize the small things; they usually mean the most. Then when
she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because
jewelry is for wussies and Asian ladies.
7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When
she is, stare into her eyes, mouth the words 'fu*k you,' and grab the
other girl's ass. Women love competition.
8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she
thinks it's going to be really special. Then take her to a burning
tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just
kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then drive
her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something
like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because
I can."
9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those
special nicknames.
10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD. (especially immediately
after leaving the hair salon)
11. Warm her up when she's cold... but not by giving her your jacket,
because then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and
say, "If you don't stop bitching about the cold right now, you're
going to be bitching about a black eye." The best way to get warm is
with fear.
12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the
bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when
the party's dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you
at the party.
13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet.
Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't
women?
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10
minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! Repeat until she goes
home and you can use your arms for more important things. Like
basketball, football, holding the remote and beer.
15. Spit often. I hear women like guys that spit.
16. If you care about her, never ever tell her. This will only give
her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she
deep down desires to be.
17. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes,
earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the
pair. This way she'll go crazy over you.
18. Take her out to dinner. Right when she's about to order interrupt
and say "No, she's not hungry". Make her watch you eat. Women love a
guy that speaks for her.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile. Then clock her one. Women love a
spontaneous guy.
20. Give her one of your t-shirts... and make sure it has your smell
on it. But not a sexy cologne smell. A bad smell. You know what I'm
talking about.
21. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her
no. This way she'll think you're mysterious.
22. Remember her birthday, but don't get her anything. Teach her
material objects aren't important. The only thing that's important is
that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present
she can ever get.
23. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just
whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then next time you know
she's coming over on a trash day leave the trash can open and have
the present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't
like this one that much, but I think it's funny.
24. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will,
promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This
will ensure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call
you're going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really
excited. Now don't call. That's also quite funny!
Due to the Economy I've Got to Let One of Them Go

Brian {Exacting & Cool} has a highly attractive personality, yet he is not overly social. This creates a problem for him, although he has a great need to be in the limelight, he has a greater need to spend time alone.
Aaron {Witty & Charismatic} has ultra quick impulses and a fertile imagination, sometimes overly so. He's at the age where he is striving for independence and freedom of thought.
Davina, AKA" Dorian " {Truthful & Discerning} has a demanding personality and no one can match her attention to detail or her power of concentration on the task at hand. She is extremely discriminating, possibly to the point of being judgmental.
Delicate Duality
/As of late I've tended to fluctuate widely in mood *pause* (this post already sounds like a feminine moment) ... being easygoing one moment and full of what can be described as kind of moral indignation. Both are limiting since one of them represents too little judgement and the other too much. They also constitute a duality that imposes worry. I think I'm gonna have a period now for sure
*Chanting* "realize that the truth is in the middle, seek it there" "realize that the truth is in the middle, seek it there" "realize that the truth is in the middle, seek it there"
Sometimes I may compensate for imagined but expected difficulties while overlooking more concrete problem areas. {Mr.TramueL's Corollary: An expert is a person who avoids the small errors while sweeping on to the grand fallacy.} This may produce a conservative, even fearful attitude, which "deads" initiative and keeps any relationship from success, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
That's right in case you missed it I'm talking about relationships but not just romantic relationships, this has affected all of my relationships (Family, Friends, Co-Workers & She)
Do as I say, not as I do:
Try to accept the whole package
Self-fulfilling prophecies can ensure *deadness*
Complaining waste energy

When Girls Don't Put Out
/I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'
I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear..
'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfit s. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Let's get a pair for each outfit.'
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... She was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis ...
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all Dear, let's go to the cashier.'
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'
I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.......but at least that b*tch knows I'm smarter than her.

Mercury Retrograde
/I'm witnessing (Nike I need a Puppet) so many folks going through it!
The reason is ...
Mercury retrograde in Libra & Virgo [Sep. 7 – Sep. 29, 2009]
At 04:46 UT (Universal Time), on Monday, September 7th, 2009, Mercury the cosmic trickster turns retrograde at 6°13' Libra, in the sign of the Scales, sending communications, travel, appointments, mail and the www into a general snarlup! The retro period begins some days before the actual turning point (as Mercury slows) and lasts for three weeks or so, until Sep. 29, when the Winged Messenger reaches his direct station. At this time he halts and begins his return to direct motion through the zodiac.
Everything finally straightens out on October 18, as he passes the point where he first turned retrograde. Mercury normally turns retrograde three times a year, but this year he turns tail four times, which is unusual. The effects of each period differ, according to the sign in which it happens (see box for Retrograde Periods in 2009).
A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. According to modern science, this traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth with relation to other planets in our solar system. Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way due to this cosmic shadow-play. Click here for more on the science of retrograde planetary motion.
Retrograde periods, although often problematic for us earthlings, are not particularly uncommon. Each planet retrogrades, except the Sun and Moon
Although a powerful astrological influence, Mercury is quite a small planet that travels at a relatively fast speed through the zodiac. Despite being the closest planet in our solar system to the Sun, he is not always in the same sign as the Sun. This time, Mercury turns retrograde in Libra (relationships; tastes; harmony) while the Sun is in Virgo (analysis; critical ability), but retrogrades into Virgo at the Virgo New Moon on Sep. 18 (while the Sun of course is still in Virgo). The Sun moves into Libra at the Equinox on Sep. 22 while Merc is still in Virgo, but Mercury soon heads back to join the Sun in Libra on Oct. 10.
Fated Events
As a rule, retrograde planets mark a period of seemingly inevitable or fated events that relate to their sphere of influence. Unresolved issues from the past tend to rear their heads. Retro phases present us with a series of events over which we seem to have little or no conscious control, relating especially to the sign in which the retrogradation occurs. For example, Mercury retrograde in Libra (relationships; tastes; harmony) awakens quite different sets of circumstances from those generated when he retrogrades into Virgo (analysis; critical ability).
A retrograde period is best seen as a cycle, beginning when a planet begins to slow to a halt before travelling backwards through the zodiac, and ending when it returns to the point where it first paused. However, during the cycle, a planet's energy is most powerful (and more likely to generate critical events of universal importance) when the planet makes a station: appearing motionless in the sky.
These stationary periods occur near the beginning of the cycle (when the planet first halts as it prepares to move backwards) and midway through the cycle when the retrograde planet slows to a stop before moving forward again. The direct station (when the planet halts before moving forward again) is the most powerful and can be used for maximum benefit.
Many astrologers consider that the "Mercury Shadow" begins between two and three weeks before the actual retro station, so the "shadow phase" begins on August 18, when Mercury passes the point of direct station for the first time in this cycle. This has some justification, but I am more inclined to think that the really noticeable peculiarities begin when Mercury slows significantly, a few days before the retro station. This period of "Mercury Shadow" extends to the Return date, something under three weeks after the direct station. Bear this in mind, because experience shows that the effects of the retro period are still marked during the shadow phase. Some of the most characteristic annoyances often occur just after Mercury makes the direct station, while he is crawling forward before picking up speed.
What does Mercury affect?
In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce, education and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially those who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, teachers, travellers, tricksters and thieves.
Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry.
It is not exactly wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely that such decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed. Make sure you pay attention to the small print
The Key Issue
The key issue here is one of focus. Mercury's retro phase tends to bring unforeseen changes and blockages, but the aggravation and frustration that many of us experience during these periods is often due to our own inability to roll with the punches. Is this due to our ego-fixation?
Mercury sets out to restructure our thinking processes and for many of us this is painful and frustrating. Unresolved issues from the past tend to push themselves forward. Moreover, these experiences reveal flaws in our internal organisation as well as our external planning, which can make us feel foolish and inadequate.
Mercury retrograde, like any cosmic aspect, affects people differently, depending on where it hits their personal charts. Some people actually prosper under a retro Mercury, especially if Mercury is retrograde but otherwise well-aspected in their birth charts. It is also a time when matters begun under a previous retro period will come to fruition, or completion as the case may be. Firm decisions that have been previously made when Mercury is travelling normally through the zodiac may be implemented or finalised while Mercury is retrograde without too much worry, for experience shows that this can be done without undue problems arising.
