			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s up, what&#8217;s up, WHAT&#8217;S UUUUUUPPPPP! I said Jerome in the hoouussee&#8230;I said Jerome in the hooouuusee!! Well, actually my name is Pierre, aka Sk8brd P aka PP aka the love guru, aka Mr. How Every You Want it! Yea, I have a lot of names. Any who, welcome back to another session of You Do the Math. If you don&#8217;t know by now, March Madness is here and I love every second of it. Shout out to Morgan State for making its first NCAA appearance since 1977! If only I could pick y&#8217;all to go all the way. </p>
<p><img vspace=6 hspace=6 border=2 img src='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/couple.bmp' alt='couple.bmp' align='right'/> How many people have a sex watch? If not, you need to go down to Wal-Mart and pick one up. They are only $15.99. Sike naw, lol, there is no such thing. But I&#8217;m sure if there was one; Wal-Mart would have it. They have every freakin&#8217; thing! Tonight show is about sex endurance. I know plenty of you have heard stories from someone stating to having sex for 2 or 3 hours or something ridiculous. Really though? I&#8217;m sorry but I don&#8217;t think there is that much love making in the world for me to go 2 or 3 hours straight. Yet, people have said it has been done. Now, I&#8217;m not one to judge but, get the hell out of here! I don&#8217;t think Superman could go 2 hours if he wanted to. </p>
<p>What ever happen to the art of a quickie? I&#8217;m not saying you should always look for a quickie, but why should I have a marathon in bed? All I&#8217;m saying, if you had sex all the way though Pirates of the Caribbean , then you need a medal and an oxygen tank. How long is too long? Would you rather sex to be too long or too short? What are some ways to be aware of the time while you are having sex? Yea, so you can go all night; but would it even matter if your partner isn&#8217;t satisfied in the end? </p>

Welcome to another glorious day here on &#8220;You Do the Math&#8221;! I&#8217;m going to do something that I have not done in a long time. I&#8217;m in such a good mood that I will actually go back to my roots and write a full blog today. Also, for the simple fact, that I my show tonight might be postponed until next week. So, I have to give you guys something good. Hopefully the title enticed you to read what’s on my mind today.</p>
<p>What is wrapper talk? Take a wild guess. You still don&#8217;t know. Fellas you should know since we are the ones who are responsible for this language. Let me paint a picture for you. Ladies, you have been talking to this guy for some time now and you plan on taking it to the next level. You invite the guy over for some serious one on one action. You guys head upstairs to your bedroom, because there is no sex in the champagne room. I think the laundry room would make a more interesting setting, but hey this is your first time with him. Anyway, you reach the room and the two of you get to fooling around. In the mist of the fooling around the guy is ready for some action and pulls out a condom. This is great, because safe sex is the way to go, but something throws you off ladies. </p>
<p>Instead of pulling out the condom and putting it on, he pulls out the condom and flashes the wrapper with pride so you can get a glimpse of it. He wants you to see the size of the wrapper to let you know what you are about to be working with. &#8220;Yea baby, it’s the gold wrapper.&#8221; For those who may not know, this is a magnum condom. Has this ever happened to you? This is talking up a big game at its best. How do you deal with this ladies?</p>
<p>Maybe wrapper talk is important. What if this guy pulls out his condom and you get a glimpse and see it’s on of the smaller size condoms. Ladies, do continue or you stop him from going further because his condom said it all for you. How about those guys who wear their condoms like their pants; baggy! The wrapper size said L or XL so there is nothing to worry about, right? How easy it is to be sucked into wrapper talking? You do the math!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/200176762-001.jpg' title='200176762-001.jpg'><img vspace=4 hspace=8 border=4 src='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/200176762-001.thumbnail.jpg' align="left" alt='200176762-001.jpg' /></a> Every morning I have the pleasure of riding the metro to work with millions of people who don&#8217;t look all to happy to be going to earn a paycheck in today&#8217;s struggling economy <em>(I&#8217;ll speak more on that in another blog</em>). </p>
<p> Fortunately, I get on at the second stop with only 12 more to go, about a 40 minute ride, so there are plenty of seats available.  Majority of the people are just like me, working class professionals. Going to work isn&#8217;t a problem at all.  It&#8217;s the ride home that bothers me.</p>
<p>After a hard days work, soon as I get on the train I look for a seat. Usually, I can get one, but it wasn&#8217;t long before I realized that at the stop after mine, a ton of men and women get on. Mostly women.</p>
<p>See I have always prided myself on being a gentleman that acts as like chivilary is alive and well. So like any gentleman, I offer my seat to women when I see one standing. The problem is it appears that I&#8217;m the only one who thinks this is normal. So I try to lead by example and offer my seat to a lady who may have been standing on her feet all day or needs to clear her mind before she goes home to some bad ass kids or a mooching husband or she could just be tired.</p>
<p>Without fail, another brother will do the same for another lady.  He may not have forgotten that we are here to take care of our sisters, but sometimes we need to lead by example to help remind those of us who get lost in society&#8217;s trap of lost consciousness.</p>
<p>Some young brothers may not know how to treat a woman or how to be a man, so maybe if enough brothers will stand up for sisters on the train, we can start standing up for our families in our communities.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not really a choice.  It&#8217;s a part of being a man.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/t012714a.jpg' title='t012714a.jpg'><img src='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/t012714a.jpg' alt='t012714a.jpg'/align='center'></a></p>
<p><strong>Insight: </strong><em>Isn&#8217;t it amazing how 500 people can be crammed together on one train and no one says a word to each other.  </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s world when we hear most of our African-American youth share their career dreams, I’ve seen more than a few adults roll their eyes or shake their heads when the child states aspirations along the lines of becoming a professional athlete, dancer, rapper, singer, Oprah, or essentially anything that would put them in the spotlight instead of “having to work hard.”</p>
<p>In the past few weeks I met a young man who is a musician, but is probably working just as hard enough not harder to live his dream as those of us punching a clock on weekdays.  </p>
<p>Darnell Levine (www.darnelllevine.com) is a name that’s probably unfamiliar to most but once you hear his sound and see his dedication to his craft for lack of better terms, you get “it.”  Darnell is a singer/songwriter who excels in the jazz and pop genres and some might say comedy as well.  He’s released two solo albums, and his current CD “Journal Entries” is available on amazon.com.</p>
<p>This summer he is trying to make (are you listening Magic Johnson) history by becoming the first artist to ever tour exclusively at Starbucks.  He’s named his mission  “The Darnell Levine Summer Music Tour Experience Exclusively at Starbucks” and so far, he’s hit several cities around the southwest side of the United States including Lexington, KY, Cincinnati, OH, Nashville and he has one more week of touring.</p>
<p>Darnell is responsible for booking the locations, mapping routes, looking for sponsors, maintaining his website, creating design elements for the website, selling merchandise—and really, need I go on?</p>
<p>As everyone knows the rising economic costs have been hard on most, so can you imagine what it’s like for a (young) musician funding this tour exclusively on tips and merchandise sales because he’s following his heart and a lesson we all learned as a child, “finish what you start.”</p>
<p>So, while some of the children today just may be looking for the easy way out and the quickest way to the red carpet, maybe a few of them will be like Darnell Levine and try to make history as they pursue their dreams.</p>
<p>-    L.C. Butler</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/barackpowell1.jpg' title='barackpowell1.jpg'><img src='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/barackpowell1.jpg' alt='barackpowell1.jpg' /></a></p>
<p>Since the Obama camp hasn&#8217;t called me for my recommendation yet, I&#8217;m going to put it out there anyway.  Obama needs a little help because he is inexperienced in foreign affairs and military operations, so who better to assist him in running the country than Retired General Colin Powell.  </p>
<p>His crediatials are so deep that people once wanted him to run for President.  Remember&#8230;I thought so.  </p>
<p>In case you forgot:<br />
<strong>*</strong>He is an American statesman and retired General in the United States Army.<br />
 <strong>*</strong>He was the 65th United States Secretary of State (2001-2005), serving under President George W. Bush. <em>(the first African American appointed to that position.)</em><br />
<strong>*</strong>As a General in the United States Army, Powell also served as National Security Advisor (1987–1989) and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989–1993), holding the latter position during the Gulf War.</p>
<p>After leaving his position as Secretary of State in the Bush administration and looking back on his decision to become an author and consultant, it&#8217;s obvious he has the foresight of Nostrodamus and the intuition of Spider-Man.</p>
<p>That keen instinct could help us domestically and internationally becuase it appears that the current administration hasn&#8217;t found a way to learn from a pattern of poor descisions.  In order to prevent the country from continuing on this path, I recommend that Obama select Colin Powell as his running mate. </p>
<p>Now back to reality.  The most obvious reason that won&#8217;t happen is because some Americans aren&#8217;t willing to vote for the most qualified Presidential candidate because he&#8217;s Black.  I believe you can increase that number by 50% if their was an All-Black ticket. We can&#8217;t ignore ignorance, therefore we must acknowledge that some citizens will vote based on color, not creditials, but they also have a right to choose based on whatever criteria works for them. </p>
<p>I have heard some female supporters say they will cross party lines and vote for Repubican nominee John McCain because they felt Hillary was mistreated and not shown the respect she deserves ( <em>Note to Hillary supporters: As my mother would say,&#8221; you have to give respect to get respect&#8221;.  Karma is a bitch</em>!).   Be careful what you ask for because if Mrs. McCain is an indication of the future of women, please see <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327162/">The Stepford Wives</a>.  (<em>I never met the woman but thought she was in the movie.</em>)</p>
<p>Well if they are willing to cross party lines and vote for McCain, I wonder how many republicans would vote for Obama-Powell since Colin Powell is a Republican?</p>
<p>Damn! Another reason why this won&#8217;t work.  If not VP, definately a Cabinet member or key advisor&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Rev. Wright&#8217;s recent comments, FoxNews tried to get<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Pfleger"> Father Pfleger </a>,a Roman Catholic priest and social activist in Chicago, Illinois to flip on him.  Father pfleger recently invited Rev. Wright to visit his church to show him some love and support.  </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the clean cut Catholic face fool ya!  Father Pfleger tears this young reporter a new one when he begins talking out the side of his neck about Rev. Wright, Min. Farrakhan, Dr. King and Sen. Obama. Take a few minutes and check out this brilliant act of verbal self defense&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img vspace=0 hspace=10 border=10 src='http://www.blackvoicebox.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/book-cover.jpg' alt='book-cover.jpg' align='left'/></a>We all want what&#8217;s best for our kids-right? Well along with food, love, prayer, support and encouragement, you better believe they will need an education. The <a href="http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/school-district/ratings.jsp">public school system </a>works as a school system, but I have learned that a &#8220;school system&#8221; is different from an &#8220;educational system.&#8221; The school system is in the business of running schools, not educating (That&#8217;s only part of the problem).  A school has an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education#Education_systems">educational system</a>.  </p>
<p>The problem is that the public &#8220;school system&#8221; hasn&#8217;t evolved nor implemented an effective &#8220;educational system&#8221; that allows our kids the proper tools to succeed in today&#8217;s world. Some school systems can&#8217;t provide an adequate learning facility for our children to learn, yet we put our children in this environment and expect them to learn and be able to compete on a global scale&#8230;that&#8217;s bullshit.</p>
<p>Since the public school system is under serving our children, those of us who can afford private schooling for our children usually do so, but a friend and team member of mine, Sandra Frazier, recently wrote a book entitled &#8220;<em><strong><a href="http://www.abettertomorrowpublishing.com">Private School, It&#8217;s Not Just for the Wealthy Anymore</a></strong></em>&#8221; that puts economics aside and reinforces the importance of a parent&#8217;s passion, commitment and dedication to their child&#8217;s education. Her book guides you through the process of applying to private schools and shows you how to cut costs on everything from uniforms to fund-raising. </p>
<p>Sandra says,&#8221;The biggest part of the process is preparing your child through parenting. Being an involved parent in your child&#8217;s activities and learning is essential to making the best educational choice for your family.&#8221;  <a href="http://savdailynews.com/main.asp?SectionID=18&#038;subsectionID=320&#038;articleID=12872">Visit <a href="http://www.abettertomorrowpublishing.com">www.abettertomorrowpublishing.com</a> and order your copy NOW! </p>
<p>So, before you exercise your right to vote, make sure you are an educated voter that votes for someone who cares about the education of your kids.</p>
