What is a #ManMeal?

A Man Meal is a meal that any man can make even with limited cooking skills! I started doing this because I am a man and I want meals that I can easily make and taste better than rice + sugar! So, if you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to let me know…

Now, I can’t take credit for this meal, this is all Ms. Underhill for this one. So thank her! Please check out Decadent Butters, the sponsor for this #ManMeal! :)

Enjoy

Padded Underwear?! Really This Must Stop

Booty Pop Panties

I know, I know.. We all want to be attractive and desired by the opposite sex… but I have to go on record saying this is just a little bit much.

What happened to natural beauty that was actual natural? Why does everything have to be enhanced to an un-natural degree?

Women, I would strongly advise against this because if a man sees you in this, he will expect it. Not saying that looks are everything but you atleast want to get what you think you got. If you are one of those people that says looks aren’t everything, then great… you won’t purchase and wear this product.

I know I would be instantly turned off and worse case, this isn’t even a parody…


NCAT MLK Event Feature Roland Martin

The North Carolina A&T State University Student Affairs, Student Union, University Observance Committee and Lyceum Committee are proud to present to you “The Dream No Longer His, Now Ours,” event featuring CNN Analyst, TV One Commentator, Award Winning Journalist and Author Roland Martin.

A limited number of tickets (I estimate under 500 to view it in person, there is an overflow thanks to technology) are available to A&T Students and the general community for FREE at the North Carolina A&T Ticket Office.

Unfortunately, the only way to get tickets is to actually go on campus and buy the tickets in person.
