Bachelorette Baby

Jen Schefft, who is famous for winning the Bachelor and then starring in the Bachelorette shortly after, welcomed a baby girl into the world on Saturday, November 13. Her daughter's name is Mae Elizabeth Waterman. This is news to announce because Jen Schefft is a Mentor native and Mentor is my hometown. Her brother Jason played high school basketball with my oldest brother. So we know the family. Congratulations to Jen and her family.

Cleveland...Thank U

Finally, Cleveland has a response for LeBron's stupid Nike ad. I'm so glad this was made because he just keeps diggin that ditch and makin himself look bad. I'm glad Cleveland's makin him look even worse. Enjoy!

My Black Roots...

Welp, it's official. I now know why I'm such a fan of the Black community. It's in my blood. I am 75% Slovenian in my ethnic background and I am proud to announce that the country of my ancestors has become the first Eastern European country to elect a Black official.

Slovenia has elected the first person of African descent to be the Mayor of the city of Piran. The man's name is Peter Bossman. He traveled to Slovenia from Ghana to study medicine and decided to stay. He said he fell in love with the country (who wouldn't). Not only am I excited to see the progress made in the country of my ancestors, but it is clear that my love of the Black community runs as deep as my bloodline.

Cleveland...Where Amazing Happens

It has been an amazing week in Cleveland sports. A city where bad reputations and traitors have left a bad taste in our sports fans' mouths. Well this week, we can see the light.

Sunday brought us our first victory with the HUGE win by the Browns. They played extremely well against the defending Super Bowl Champion, the New Orleans Saints, and were victorious. The game was filled with some great trick plays and an amazing performance by quarterback Colt McCoy and two touchdowns by David Bowens. Good job Brownies!




The next big news comes from the 2010 start of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA season. The night before the Cavs opened their season, the Boston Celtics played the Miami Heat and beat them. LeBron James' team is now 0-1 with a loss to the Boston Celtics. The Celtics travel to Cleveland and the Cavaliers win. So the Cavaliers are 1-0 with a victory over the Boston Celtics. Talk about a slap in LeBron's face! Looks like there's no LBJ in TEAM. Suck on that your "highness." lol.


If I've learned anything during this week's celebration of victories, it is the importance of teamwork. The work of one man can be extraordinary, but the work of a team can be historic.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I wanna make a shout out to my father. It is his 57th birthday today. Here is a picture from his 21st birthday party. Since it's so close to Halloween, it was a costume party. Apparently a bunch of the guys went as chicks....weird. It was the Seventies.

Pumpkin Carvnival

Check out these pumpkins I carved. I love this time of year because I'm clearly a pumpkin carving master. lol. Happy Halloween.


Here is a skeleton face with a spider on the left and a rat crawling out of the mouth on the right.


Pumpkin number two is a silhouette of a witch, cauldron, and a cat in the light of a cloudy full moon.

WILLOW SMITH-"WHIP MY HAIR"

Jive Cleaver

I am sad to deliver the terrible news that Barbara Billingsley has died at age 94. She is famous for playing June Cleaver on the iconic 1950's show "Leave It to Beaver."


However, she is also famous for playing the woman who speaks Jive in the comedy Airplane! Watch this clip below. And just to let you know...as the Flyest White Boy in Cleveland, I also speak Jive.

Go Deep

VIVA CHILE!!!

The 33 Chilean miners that were stuck underground for 69 days have ALL been rescued. It is truly a miracle that these men are all safe and sound. Congratulations to the country of Chile, the miners and their families. It's great to finally hear about good news in the news.



I haven't seen anybody survive being stuck that deep since I watched Tommy Lee's sex tape. lol. Sorry, I had to. It's okay, that joke was only 'miner.' lol. Ok. I'm done.

Finally! Progress...I Just Hope It Sticks

Justice For All? Well...Justice For All for now.

A federal judge has put a ban on the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that goes into effect immediately. The government has 60 days to appeal but sources say they don't see any reason they would. I hope that this step in the right direction keeps progress moving forward. I'd hate to see another Prop 8 fiasco take place. To read the entire article, click HERE.

THIS FRIDAY-DON'T MISS IT

Come and experience something Different. Be at Anatomy Ultralounge this Friday, October 15 to see what's hot in the club scene and believe me, it won't be ur typical night out.

Once in ur Lifetime

Today's date is October 10, 2010 AKA 10/10/10. That will probably only happen once in your life. So I thought I'd make it clear for ya. Watch the clock because at 10:10 10/10/10...U might find urself a dime. lol.

Richgirls are Sexy

Check out this video. Thank god I got my swagger right. These girls lookin hot! Even though the one tryin to be Beyonce, the one look like Jody Watley, and one is just damn sexy. I saw her in the Mario "Breakup" video. And the fourth girl got some fresh studded frames.

Be Proud of Yourself

The nation has been stunned by the recent teen suicides that have been caused by bullying. Depressed, troubled teens who feel alone and degraded feel that there is no other way to live than to not live at all. The stories of teens around the nation have really made me feel sad and reflective upon my own experiences. I was once a victim of bullying and I was once someone who did consider suicide. I have never attempted to kill myself, but the thought has crossed my mind many times in my life. This topic really struck me when I read an article about my hometown and Alma mater, Mentor High School. There have been multiple cases of students who have been bullied and have taken their own lives.

The bottom line is this: Teenagers are cruel. Most adolescents are immature, shallow and know little about the world beyond their hometowns. This closed-minded view of the world causes teenagers to mock what is unfamiliar or different. If I could give any advice to ANYONE who is a victim of torment, talk to someone. The solution to my bully was changing my schedule. My classes were changed so that I didn't have to interact with those individuals who ridiculed me. I also took pride in myself. After high school, I went to college and really discovered the person and adult I wanted to be. And at the end of the day, when you are being yourself, people see it and they appreciate it. When you are honest to the person you are, people will respect it. If they don't, who cares! You only have one life to live and nobody can do the things u do but u. Appreciate the gifts you have been given and know that you were put on this earth to make history. Don't let anyone stop you from being a superstar. Let nobody tell u to be anything but urself. And don't let anybody make you feel like you aren't worth walking on this earth. Because to be honest, the people who are bringing others down will end up doing nothing with their lives anyway. You will look back at high school ten years from now and realize that those people who made you feel worthless will become worthless themselves. Hang in there. Talk about how you're feeling and know that you're not alone.

It's In the Stars...

Check out ur daily horoscope for today...

ARIES-Don't make snap judgments. A relationship may need some work, especially if you haven't been communicating well. You can't let anyone bully you, but be patient and try to understand both sides of any issue that arises.

TAURUS-Get your work done and out of the way quickly so you can do something with someone you like. A peer may try to make you look bad. Don't get involved in a war of words with someone who can affect your future.

GEMINI-Socializing, entertaining or networking will all bring about positive change. Offer valid information and well-thought-out strategy and you will avoid someone trying to strong-arm you into taking less or giving up too much.

CANCER-Don't make promises you cannot keep. You can expect to face adversity and opposition from someone you live with or who has jurisdiction over what you can and cannot do. Deal with the demands being put on you quickly, leaving time for fun with a friend or lover.

LEO-Getting together with a good friend will help you deal with any troubles you are facing at home. Personal conflicts can lead to physical exhaustion if you don't take a break and rethink your next move.

VIRGO-You can learn a lot about human nature from someone you feel akin to. Share your thoughts and experience and you will feel much better about your past, present and future. Expand your interests and your friendships

LIBRA-Don't let your emotions get the better of you. If someone pushes your buttons or makes you anxious, back away calmly until you have better control. Impulsive moves on your part will not solve anything.

SCORPIO-There will be underlying facts that you must face up to. If you haven't pulled your weight or done your share, now is a good time to offer something thoughtful and meaningful. Love will be enhanced if you speak from the heart.

SAGITTARIUS-Don't let old goals, ideas or hobbies keep you from excelling in the present. Once you know where your talent lies, you will have no trouble moving forward and incorporating your old plans with your new.

CAPRICORN-It isn't a bad thing to make a change, nor will it hurt your reputation to admit you might have made a mistake. It's what you do to correct anything you've done wrong that will count. The follow-up can be just as rewarding in the end.

AQUARIUS-Don't let love cloud your vision. Know in your heart what you must do and follow through. You will know how much you are loved by the support and acceptance you receive from the people to whom you are closest.

PISCES-You have to look at the big picture and decide what is the best scenario for you. Love and romance are on the rise. Wisdom regarding partnerships is the key. Recognize who is on your side and who isn't.

Good Sportmanship 85 Times Over

The Cleveland Browns achieved their first win of the season yesterday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although his team was not victorious, Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco wanted to show that he wasn't a sore loser. He tweeted that the first 85 people to go to Cleveland's XO Prime Steakhouse would receive a dinner paid for by him. The man kept his word and he gave 85 people a free dinner. What a great guy. He said that he wanted to bring Bengals fans and Browns fans together, with no animosity. I guess a free steak dinner will help people put their team pride aside. haha. Now all we need to do is offer free steak dinners to the Middle East. lol. For more on this story, click HERE.

The Stars Don't Lie

CHECK UR HOROSCOPE FOR THE DAY (Thanks to the LA Times)

Aries (March 21-April 19): You are not a relentlessly spontaneous person, and yet you have been known to take surprising turns toward adventures. Today, there will be an unexpected temptation to do so once again.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You've been guided by teachers, parents and other mentors. Some showed you what to do, and others showed you what not to do.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You have access to more options than you used to have and will therefore be inspired in new directions.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your work requires skills in many areas, but sales stands out now. And your smile does half of the work.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your goal must be interesting enough to persuade and seduce you even when you've lost energy and funding.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting informed is easy once you decide it's important. It will be a vital part of making a good impression.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are a lifelong learner. Sometimes you're drawn to formal education, but lately it seems that the whole world is your classroom.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You will run into a fortuitous person or get another sort of lucky break. You are prepared for such events.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You'll be a fascinating addition to the group, regardless of how you supplement the conversation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): French playwright Albert Guinon said, "When everyone is absolutely against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong — or absolutely right." The latter case will be yours today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will meet worthy opposition. You and your teammates must present a consolidated front.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): One close friend is not enough. You need at least three or four to help you celebrate and manage your life.

Living on a Prayer

"A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths."

So it looks like those who are super religious are not only ignorant when it comes to their views on homosexuality and evolution, but they don't know much about their own religion either. Looks like being religious may save you in the afterlife, but as far as this life, you're doomed to be closed-minded and ignorant. It's funny how those who aren't religious know the most about religion. It's a good thing I kicked my religious habit years ago...I feel I'm smarter for it and apparently that's true.

Giving Head May Save Your Life

READ THIS ARTICLE...Apparently giving head can save your life. There's no excuse now people. Suck on that! See more HERE

Sexy...No Bullshit

This video is sexy. I don't care if you're a Chris Brown fan or not. To be quite honest, he can beat me up all night. I ain't mad at all. lmao. No Bullshit.

No legs, no gays

I came across this news story on Yahoo! It's an inspirational story about a soldier who lost his legs in Iraq and how he is going back to fight. I am proud of this man for his courage and I don't mean to take anything away from him, but how is it that he can go to war without legs but openly gay soldiers aren't allowed to fight at all? It's a crime in this country that soldiers can't fight for their country based on sexual orientation. It's disgusting. They'd rather have double amputees than gays. SMH. See more about this story HERE.

Young Love & Modern Romances

This is yours truly, The Flyest White Boy in Cleveland and my friend Sarah Ball. I thought I'd share this picture with you because I think that it's like a still from a movie. And that movie is my life.

Ghetto as Hell

These shoes are ghetto as hell. Check out these throwback high tops that look like they're from '88. What a fine display of design Kimora Lee Simmons Hounsou. Baby Phat's finest failure. Terrible.

The Black Swan

I'm not usually one for movies. And, to be honest, I hate to admit that I'm promoting a movie that has to do with the ballet. However, I came across this trailer for an upcoming movie called The Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. It looks intense. I definitely want to see it. Watch the trailer for yourself here.

Jones in my Bones

In case u didn't know, I am a HUGE fan of Dhani Jones. He is known for many things but mostly for his professional football career. He is a linebacker and the defensive captain for the Cincinnati Bengals. He is also the star and host of the Travel Channel show 'Dhani Tackles the Globe.' He is an artist, philantropist and all around great man. He inspires me to be a better man. Anyway, he was recently interviewed for
The Official Blog of Astor & Black. Check it out. I hope u find Dhani to be as interesting as I do.

Fly Footwear This Fall
