Assume the Position!

Basset Hound

Ok ladies, this is meant to be an anal position! But, for those you don’t get down like that no worries, you can make it work regularly! For those who haven’t tried anal and looking to experience it, this might be the position for you!

The Bassett Hound is a variation of Doggy Style. The position is straightforward; the receiver is on all fours with their partner holding on to the receiver’s bottom or sides, whatever suit you! Because of the low position the receiver’s bottom is pushed back, while the giver’s knees are placed to either side of the buttocks. Since you will be in a low position, this will require a bit of flexibility in both partners hip and may not be comfortable for many. But for those who can hang, the effort is more than worth it.

FYI: I gave a Fitness Tip of the Day on 5/11/12 concerning stretching (hint hint)…prime example.

Guys this could potentially be a favorite of yours. Your partner become submissive to you and you’re in control.

Sports Talk: New Orleans Saints Bounty Scandal

Now I started following and becoming a fan of the Saints once my booski got there in 2006. But even with him being traded to the Dolphins in 2011, I still considered myself to be a fan since we do have OSU Buckeyes represented on the team.

I am a firm believer in incentive programs and making people earn extra whatever for a hard day’s work or whatever the case. But, this whole idea of earning money from the extent you hurt/injure an opponent is craziness. I have been trying to keep up with the story and the updates and outcomes since the story broke months ago. I am a HUGE football fan at heart and believe it is truly a contact sport. Everyone is on the market to be hit once on the field. There are a few rules and/or fines that have come about over the years that have made even me question the sport at times. But to deliberately go out with the mindset I am going to take this dude out and make sure he does not return to the game so I can get this dough is just plain OutOfOrder.edu.

So now with this “slush fund” that was put into place for a couple years (2009-2011), the Saints have between 22-27 players who pooled their OWN money to pay out these performance bonuses to their teammates. EVERYONE is about to go down!

This Gregg Williams cat is bad news all around. Of course he fronted some of the money for the program and is now linked to conducting the same type of program at Tennessee, Washington and now at his current location Buffalo. He is taking EVERYONE down with him. Jonathan Vilma is now suspended for the ENTIRE 2012 season which they are saying is the longest suspension for an on field incident in NFL history…WHAT THE BLUE BLAZING!!!! So of course, now he and his attorney have filed a defamation lawsuit against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Basically he is not happy with the statements/comments Goodell has made overtime publicly about certain Saints executives, coaches, and players, etc. Goodell said the evidence against those he has spoken about will be made public. So I guess we just wait and see what happens! *cues music*

Fitness tip of the Day: Water

Drinking plenty of water is essential for your health and your very survival. When you add water into your diet it acts as a weight-loss aid because it can help you eat less throughout the day. Water is considered a non-caloric fluid and having unwanted calories. Adding and/or increasing water before or with a meal can help a dieter feel full sooner.

You should drink eight 8-oz cups per day to equal a total of 64 ounces. This (the amount you consume) would definitely be affected by your diet, physical activity, climate, and body composition.

One thing that I will use with everything that you do when it comes to your lifestyle change is to write EVERYTHING down. Track you water intake throughout the day to make sure you are getting enough! If you choose not to write it down, drink out of a container that will help you keep track daily.

Also note with how quickly the weather changed within the last couple weeks, drinking water is very important to make you are staying hydrated…it’s going to be a SUPER DUPER UBER long summer!

Remember- water is FREE!!!!!!

Which Cardio Machine is Best?

Cardiovascular fitness is defined as having the ability to perform large muscle movement over a long period.

Being able to choose which machine you want to utilize when walking into the gym can be stressful enough. With so many choices available to improve your cardio fitness, how do you chose the right one…which one is best?

Treadmills:
Pros – This machine is probably the most popular. You have the option to walk which is a relatively easy activity that we all are used to doing. Walking is considered a lower impact activity which is easier/gentler on your body. Treadmills will work to help you keep the same pace and most have a variety of programs to choose from that can challenge you. The plus is you have the ability to monitor your progress and see the improvements in your distance, speed and time.

Cons – I don’t really consider walking the best calorie burner and it can also lead to shin splints if done excessively. Shin splints are the devil and do not feel that best! Walking can also get boring overtime...lets be honest. Running is definitely a great way to burn calories, but your joints will begin to pay for it. But even running can get boring.

Stationary Bikes:
Pros – You have the recumbent and upright bike to choose from, as well as bikes with upper body levers. “What?!?!?!?” you say! Depending on the bike of your choice, once you get used to the speed time sitting, it came be comfortable. They are less stressful on your joints which can be a positive. Recumbent bikes in my opinion are a good place to start for beginners and also those you deal with back pain.

Cons – With the stationary bikes it can be more challenging to get your heart rate up. It will take longer and you have to work harder in order to increase your heart rate to burn calories. Unless you are using a bike with upper body levers and increasing your speed.

Stair Climbers:
Pros – This is great calorie burner if done properly, but that’s with any activity honestly. Some of us may be used to going up and down stairs on a daily bases, but this machine make it more challenging. You are completely supporting your body weight on the pedals which takes a lot of energy to perform this particular exercise.

Cons -- Stair climbers may not be comfortable for some. If you experience knee issues, you will have problems with this machine. It definitely takes some time to build up your endurance in order to sustain this exercise for more than 20 minutes.

Ellipticals:
Pros – It is low impact which is less stressful on the joints. A great machine for beginners and those you are looking for an excellent rehabilitation workout. It adds in your arm work which helps elevate your heart rate. Great cardio workout in my opinion! Works out the legs and the arms at the same time.

Cons – This too can be considered as low intensity workout unless you choose a high level of intensity in order to break a sweat.

Rowers:
Pros – This is a great total body cardio exercise machine. It works your abs and upper and lower back and from my experience your legs and arms. This exercise is low impact and it is very easy to get into your target heart rate due to the arm and leg movement.

Cons – If you are suffering or experiencing knee, hip and/or back problems this may not be very comfortable. If you do not keep good form, you can encourage poor posture and possibly overstretch the muscles of your upper back and shoulders.

Trainer's Notes: Low impact refers to activities or exercises that do not require you to do a lot of jumping around.

New Edition Concert 2012

First I would just like to say, I am in LOVE all over again! Last night I felt like I was 12 years old at my first concert with my very first teenybopper crush! The concert was GREAT! I had a great time and New Edition put on a show that was worth my $90 AND 75 cent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They looked so good and did not disappoint! I was a little upset when I only counted 5 members on that stage when they first came out and didn’t see Bobby. All day I kept saying, “Bobby better be here tonight!” I MEANT that! But, he did make his way out on that stage. Did I mention, they looked GOOOOOD! I have always been a Ralph fan especially when he wears that damn hat. And let’s not forget about Johnny…Johnny my Johnnny! Johnny sang and made me sit down because my uterus started to quiver….REALLY! He sung My My My and then sung his new song which I am listening to at this very moment…Oh Johnny. When I rubbed on his arm and he grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes, I knew then he wanted me.

But Last night…………..OMG, Ricky is MY NEW BOO THANG to the 1920^th power. I don’t even have the words to describe the thoughts that are going through my mind. Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyy…..smh. Then he sung “When Will I See You Smile Again”………..WHAT!!! He was so talking to me… #Fact

I am so happy that I was able to experience this…not only with my crew but with all 6 members of one of the BEST male groups EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER! The one thing about last night was it was so many people from everywhere. Old, young, female, male, white, black….people came out to see something that we all have been waiting for for over a decade. I would definitely go back and see them again. Kudos to whoever put that show together! The way it was set up was classic. They sung their individual songs; group songs and everybody participated in everyone’s individual songs…that was the best.

Check out some of the pictures below:

Top 10 Countdown: #10

R. Kelly-Seems Like You're Ready

Ok, so I have decided to count down my top 10 slow jams/love makin’/baby makin’ cuts as of right now. I consider myself to be a slow jams guru/expert! So, this is my #10…the King of R&B himself, R. Kelly.

12 Play was probably one of the best albums in the early 90s. This song is on my top 10 because of the tempo of the song and the sexy lyrics. It is a classic love making hit that has to be on your slow jams CD.

The BEST verse in this song is, "I can smell your perfume, step into my bedroom, let me love you constantly. Oh, oh, your body is my playground, let me lick you up and down, make you feel like a woman should."  YEP…..playing it right now!

I am sure I will have at least one more hit from him!

It’s a Hard Road...

My new mission:

So many of you know that I have been #TeamWeightWatchers for a year now. Weight Watchers and I became BFF's last May. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone looking to lose weight a safe and healthy way. It's great because it works if you do it right; if you follow the plan and do it right…it works. You don’t even have to exercise to lose the weight but it is highly recommended in order to see higher results. Another plus about WW is it helps you watch what you eat and potion controls your meals.

Since our friendship, I have lost about 30 pounds and have dropped a few dress sizes. But since January of this year I have been cheating on WW and stuck at a certain weight. I cannot seem to GET MY LIFE and be faithful.

So I am setting a new goal and starting today Thursday, May 24, 2012, I am going to GET MY LIFE and drop these last 10 pounds by June 16, 2012. Why June 16^th you ask, well, it is my next upcoming event (NPHC Unity Weekend) so that’s my target date. My goal is to lose 10 more pounds and tone up. I am SUPER DUPER UBER happy with the size I am now. It sucks a little to be in between sizes when shopping for clothes, but I gueeeeeeeeeeess Im ok with that problem.

I would be ok if some of these temptations (sweets) would STOP trying to steal me away…OMG.

Task at hand!

Day 1: I got up this morning and jogged for 60 minutes. My goal is to chug down 3 liters of High Quality H2O before I leave work at 5pm. I will have practice tonight for about 2 and half hours which should put me at 3 and a half hours of physical activity. I will chug at least 1 liter during that time to put me at 4 liters for the day which will put me at approximately a gallon. I need to make sure I enter everything I put in my month into my WW log to keep track of my points…UGH!

Sports Talk: NBA Playoffs

Ok so first of all, I LOVE this picture and the message on it! I am not a Kobe fan but I do respect his game. The Lakers maybe out but this is so true. It is Kobe’s team and well, the picture message is real! Down 3-1…umm no, he ain’t passing the damn ball!

Boston Celtics/Philadelphia 76ers

Boston leads the series 3-2 and looking to end it tonight in Philly. It seems as if Philly has lost its edge and fire. The way Boston has looked, playing the way they have been playing; they will come out with a win. Philly has to be a little more aggressive and take the ball to the hole…shoot, they need to make shots!  Getting Boston in foul trouble is going to be key to Philly’s success if they want to win game 6 and extend to game 7. Boston’s playoffs stats have increased in every category compared to the regular season. They have a higher shooting percentage and definitely dominating at the line. The way Philly has been playing during the playoffs, there is no way they can afford to get down early and believe they can come back and beat this Celtics team…NO way!

Miami Heat/Indiana Pacers

OMG…game 5 looked so much better for the Heat then the first 4 games even though they lead to series 3-2. I mentioned last week that Miami would lose a game to Indiana but only one. Well of course Indiana proved me wrong. Game 3 was the game I felt Miami would lose…not game 2. But, they lost both and so they were forced to regroup. Regroup they did! Winning games 4 and 5 put them back on track. Game 4 was a good win, but game 5, the team looked like a championship team. Not only did Wade and LBJ play great, they got help from their supporting cast all across the board. In my opinion…GREAT team basketball! Wade had a lot more fire and bounce in his game during game 5. The 3^rd quarter during last night’s game was dominated by the Heat. Now I am going to say this again and if I am wrong, I will admit it! But, Miami will end this series in Indiana game 6!!!!!!

San Antonio Spurs/Los Angeles Clippers

The Spurs were just a little much to handle for the Clippers sweeping them in this series.  During this series I really felt the Spurs looked more poised and relaxed. Yes they have playoff and championship experience and it showed against a younger inexperienced team.  I said it before and will say it again, the Spurs has an all-around complete team! #Fact! Sad to see the Clippers go, but up next for the Spurs are KD/Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Oklahoma City Thunder/Los Angeles Lakers

Down 3-1, the Lakers were just not able to pull within reach of the Thunder. The Thunder just seemed to be too quick, fast, and determined compared to the Lakers. There is no doubt this is Kobe’s team! Kobe will get his shots and dominate every quarter, but he is NOT able to win a whole series against the type of team OKC is alone.  Gasol and Bynum just did not play to their potential. Gasol looked scared most of the time during this series; not the Gasol when he first got to the Lakers. TRADE TIME! The Thunder meet the Spurs in Western Conference Finals…..Now I am SUPER DUPER UBER excited about this series and I am not a west fan! I think OKC will give the Spurs a run for their money and will definitely compete. But, I am thinking the Spurs just might come out the West this year. The Thunder is playing GREAT basketball, but I just think the Spurs are not looking to lose.

Billboard Music Awards 2012

Ok, so told myself since I have not watched an awards show is over a decade…yes a decade. Maybe I am exaggerating just a little since I’m BARELY pushing 25, but I still said I was going to go for it tonight. So I am sitting here bored out my mind! I have yet to be entertained or woo’d. I have watched an hour and 20 minutes of this and I don’t know how much more I can take.

This LMFAO group is killing me! I so believe they will not be around to long…1 or 2 hit wonder and then where did they go…where are they now!

I am huge Chris Breezy and Usher fan…SUPER DUPER UBER HUGE fans, but I just did not care for neither performance. I mean, they can both dance their butts A$$’ off, but I could have done without the performance. Maybe this is another reason why I do not care to entertain music award shows.

So I’m trying to understand this whole Taylor Swift special….really Woman of the Year?!?! Now some may argue with me on this but, I just don’t get it! There are other great women who have done so much more in the past year…shoot over the years then she has. Maybe it’s because I am not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but Woman of the Year….OK!

I think I will look to change the channel in hopes to find something a little more entertaining and maybe someone can tell me what I missed it anything! Remote in hand at Bieber!!

Food for Thought

To be early is to be on time! To be on time is to be late! And to be late is UNACCEPTABLE!

Jazz me up!

Ok ladies...I absolutely LOVE this look. I consider myself to be a Fashionista and will jump at any fashion item that looks hot. This peach/gray/white look is stylish. It’s cute, professional, and classy and can be worn in and outside the office. I call it a “Double-Doer.”  

Bracelets – (set of 3) Sears $3

Purse – Coach Brand $398

Shoes – Jessica Simpson Brand purchased at Macy’s $69.99

Pants – H&M $14.95

Shirt – TJ Maxx $12.99

Blazer – H&M $34.95

Total - $533.88

I love Coach and will rep #TeamCoachBougie all day. I love this black bag. It has style, not to big but big enough for your personal items. I am a huge fan of Jessica Simpsons’ shoes. I have a couple pair that I have purchased from Famous Footwear and find them very comfortable and reasonably priced for what I spend on shoes. But, the bag and the shoes seem to be the only true pricey items within this look. You can always find a different handbag to jazz up this outfit…but the shoes are a must have! So if you subtract the coach purse and the shoes...you will come out spending about $70 for a sleek, fashionable outfit.

Happy Friday!!!!

Sports Talk: NBA Playoffs

Boston Celtics /Philadelphia 76ers

Right now the Celtics leads the series 2-1.

KG had a great game 3 which really help pull the Celtics away from Philly. I watched this game and Boston absolutely dominated the paint. Boston looked focused and not only did KG have a huge game but so did Pierce and Rondo! They were the Big 3 that night in an all-around effort. They rebounded great and Philly missed shots that maybe they should have made throughout the game. With those missed shots, Boston was not letting Philly capitalize on 2^nd chance shots very often. Philly did not look as confident in my opinion in game 3 as they did in the first 2 games. Sad to say, but this series is going to end in favor of Boston. I don’t see Philly winning another game even with Evan Turner playing the way he has during the playoffs.  

Miami Heat/Indiana Pacers

Right now the series is tied 1-1.

The Heat won game one, but not a pretty win or what I think should have been an easy win. With a tough loss at home; Miami has to be ready to play later tonight in Indiana. The Heat was out rebounded by the Pacers in game 2. Miami had a few opportunities to pull out the win but didn’t.  There is no Bosh and now others (the contributors) have to step up and provide James and Wade with help. It will be tough without Bosh, but you have to learn to play with what you got…make it work! I think there were times during both games the Heat played down and didn’t seize the opportunity to pull away like they could have. As I will admit, before this series started I made a comment about Miami possibly losing 1 game to the Pacers but they will STILL win this series…I meant that. I think they will pull out the win tonight because of the disappointing loss of Game 2.

L.A. Lakers/Oklahoma City Thunder

Right now the Thunder leads the series 2-0.

Now I could be wrong and some Lakers fan may disagree but there were times where I felt the Lakers looked confused and just not with it. I have always said that The Lakers are a different team with Metta World Peace in the game and I will stick to that. With him in the game he takes a lot of pressure off of Kobe. There is no doubt that Kobe can take over a game when he needs too and he will definitely get his shots no matter who is has guarding him. I felt LA should have won game 2 with Metta being back in the swing of things.  But, I said before this series started, LA has to come play in order to win against a much younger, faster, determined OKC team. During game 2 and even game 1, OKC looked very confident and efficient. Yeah OKC got down, but there was no stopping them. Game 1 was a little crazy for LA…they looked troubled the WHOLE game. But, game 2 seemed to show a different side of LA. Knowing that OKC was going to play in order to protect home court, LA came out with a little more fight in them. Unfortunately it was enough. OKC played great D with LA as the game tugged along and fought back. I do believe LA will win a game, but I don’t think they will come out this series happy…no way will they win!

San Antonio Spurs /L.A. Clippers

Right now the Spurs leads the series 1-0.

The San Antonio Spurs!!!!!! Washed up…says who?!?!  They are looking more polished, efficient, and focused more than ever. I will be the first to admit that I was not expecting them to play the Clippers this series as they did. The Spurs confused and just outright out played the Clippers in game 1.  Now yes it was only one game and there is still plenty of basketball to be played from both teams, but I was very impressed on the cohesiveness the Spurs displayed in game 1. The Clippers just didn’t look as young and quick as they did throughout the season...could be due to the lack of experience.  Let’s face it, they struggled during the first round and was actually looking to be sent home packing. As much as I would like to see Blake Griffin and Chris Paul advance, not going to happen if the Spurs play like they did in game 1. San Antonio has an all-around team that can dominate at any given moment. They have an experienced starting 5 as well as an experienced bench.

Assume the Position!

Arm Chair Position

Here is another must try! The key to this position is making sure you conquer the rhythm.

To get into this position, the giver sits up with their legs straight while the partner sits on top of them with legs on the giver's shoulders and arms being used for support. The down side to this is it takes quite a bit of strength on behalf of the receiver to perform this position, so you may need to train before you can enjoy all of its glory, lol…I’m just saying.

I would definitely recommend this if you want to try something different…it could be a potential 10 once you master it.

Ladies, what’s more exciting other than watching your partners face while performing this particular act/position on him. He would have to appreciate the feeling of your legs being around his body…you are in total control (AWESOME). Be aware that you may have post pain in the arms and legs…but the pain is well worth it.

Once again…ENJOY!!!

Its a Givaway!!!

Breast cancer is a disease that affects everyone not just women.  All year long we dedicate our time and resources to the fight but in May we all come together and show our support for women and families in the fight against breast cancer.  Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control.  Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S.  It knows no boundaries-be it age, gender, socioeconomic status or geographical location.

Susan G. Komen, at the age of 33 was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Remaining upbeat, she was confident that she would come out of the situation cancer free.  Not really knowledgeable about breast cancer, she continued to see her regular doctor for treatments.  Throughout the course of her treatment, she had the lump in her breast removed but unfortunately the cancer had spread with a lump under her arm.  All throughout her battle, Susan was a tireless champion of making sure other women did not have to endure the struggles she had encountered.  After a long three year battle, Susan had succumbed to the disease.  Her sister, Nancy vowed to continue the fight in honor of Susan. 

Here are some quick facts regarding breast cancer:

               *Breast cancer accounts for one out of three cancer diagnoses in women in the U.S.

               *Although Caucasian women get breast cancer more, African American women die from it more

               *There are approximately 2,500,000 survivors

In 2012, it is estimated that among U.S. women

               *There will be 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer

               *There will be 39,510 breast cancer deaths

With the information given, I am a champion in the fight against breast cancer and I am going to do my part!  What part will you play?  I am conducting a giveaway with a piece of custom made jewelry from my line “Flawless Creations.”  This giveaway will be conducted until the Race for the Cure on May 18, 2012 with the actual race being May 19^th. It is really simple! Reading the information, all I ask of you is to post a way you can help in the fight against breast cancer.  I will pull a name randomly from the post and he/she will receive the featured breast cancer hope bracelet!!!!!!!!!

Help spread the word and let’s end breast cancer once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sports Talk: The Ike Taylor Radio Show

Those who know me pretty much know that I am a HUGE sport FANATIC and love football (college and pro). My favorite pro team is and has been the Pittsburg Steelers which causes me to travel to PA pretty often during the year. With my obsession with the Steelers, this has increased my fanism (and yes, I did just make up a word) with the Steelers starting CB Ike Taylor @Ike_SwagginU over the years. With my love for Ike as most may know him, but I know him as SwagginU, I have been tuning into his radio show (The Ike Taylor Show) on TribLive Radio which airs Tuesdays from 2-3pm with his co-host John Harris, @TribLive_Radio (http://sportstalk.triblive.com/)

This week the topic of conversation was very interesting. He touch on his rapping skills/interest which I am sure is very interesting and can’t wait to hear him drop 16 on a Tuesday afternoon! He discussed the hot topic around the media/sports industry concerning head injuries. SwagginU pointed out that he is not too concerned about the fear of head injuries/head trauma talk. During the discussion he mentioned how any sport such as boxing or hockey can definitely lead to head injuries/head trauma. In the game of football, guys are getting faster and strong and it will be hard to stop collisions among players during the game. As stated by SwagginU, “these kids are coming out looking like mutants.” In my opinion, preparation, knowledge, and skills are a must but people cannot shy away from or shelter themselves and/or their kids from the game of football because they are concerned of head injuries. Once my kids are older, I will leave the decision up to them. They will have to know and understand the risks that are involved with all sports, but the choice will be all on them. I never want to be that parent that tries to shelter my kids because of what I believe is right or what I am afraid of, that’s not fair to them. This is a touchy topic and everyone everywhere has numerous thoughts and opinions…the discussion can go on for days.

Another interesting topic SwagginU dabbled in was the relationship/interactions of men and women…my favorite. This subject came about from the thought of guys being able to transition from a pro athlete to a regular person…looking at the issue of it being hard for fans to look at Pro athletes as real people. I am on the fence with this. I do believe there are some genuinely good people out in the world and not all females or, shoot, even males for that matter looking to be gold diggers. But some are looking for that fame and “living the good life” *in my Kanye voice.*SwagginU touched on a few key points during this conversation.

1. You do not have to be an athlete to be successful!

2. Surrounding yourself with positive people (people who have been down with you from day one).

SwagginU’s response to that is, “Don’t get caught up!” But as a more mature and older Ike, I believe it is so easy to say. Try and tell that to these young guys out here looking to run up in all or every female that passes their way. To be honest, I don’t know how I would act as a newly drafted, 23 year old, superstar running back that just signed a multi-million 4 year contract in a hot spot city. There are plenty of beautiful women out here throwing themselves at me every minute…it might be hard to “just say no,” especially if I’m single with no strings attached. Things get real when women are out here trying to get chose!!!!!

One comment SwagginU made during the show that I am struggling with, not because of him saying it but the fact that it’s hard for some to get into that mindset of “just being themselves.” Once you get into that environment…things are different and you feel as though you have to fit in or live a certain way…trying to prove yourself. “Just be yourself and the girls will come,” not all the time...not the world we live in, lets be real!

John asked Ike if he cared why a woman may like him…do they like him because of his status or because of whom he is as a person? He based his reaction/answer on his confidence and his presence/demeanor which he believes speaks for itself. Listening to him talk makes me feel as though he truly believes anybody and everybody will like him for who he is and if they don’t it will come out at the end of the day. He has had some experience and has been in this environment for some time so he has had the opportunity to grow and learn. “Some guys just don’t learn” stated Ike. One thing he knows for sure is that there is nothing like surrounding yourself with Confident, God-Fearing, Humble women and I think he just described me lowkey! (#BOW) He really stressed the importance of having a good woman around you as a man.

Note: And this people is why SwagginU is my number one pro player…well I also have other reasons, but this summary can add to that! He definitely has SWAG and there is a certain confidence that he has which sets him a part from most. He is cocky but not too cocky, but he is very confident when he speak...LOVE it!

During the last 10 minutes of the show Ike answers questions from his twitter followers no matter the question/topic. I submitted a question last week: Steelers/Ravens rivalry: Past, Present, and Future? Ike did address this particular question commenting on the number of Lombardi trophies each organization has won. Classic SwagginU for those you know him. This week my question was: During your college career you had a minor snag…what kept you focused on your ultimate goal? Now I am not sure if he was able to get to my question this week because the show cute off during that time. I will definitely be submitting a question next week kindof piggy backing off the conversation this week because I have a personal question I would like to know the answer to.

Assume the Position!

Hers 68 position

Ok world, now I will begin to add a little spice to your life. This right here is what I call "Assume the Position!" I will pick a position to talk about and discuss to help everyone jazz up or enhance your sexual experience with whom ever...who wouldn't want that right! As demonstrated in the photo (I'm ALL about visuals), the performer lies down with the receiver on top of them, both facing up, in a head to toe arrangement. This particular position is excellent because it gives the performer opportunities to use their hands all over their partners’ body.

Guys, in my opinion this is a great way to get her off with foreplay. You are in control and by far could possibility be one of the best oral positions. It really gives you the ability to make your woman moan and groan and quite frankly want more.

Ladies, this position is heavenlyyyyy!!!!! And yes I gave it 5 explanation points. Really, just image your boyfriends, husbands, boo thangs hands sliding up and down your stomach and chest…and his tongue working around your…that is amazing!

I highly suggest you try it and if you don’t necessarily like this position…just stay tuned for the next one.  But feedback, thoughts, opinions are always welcomed…no judgment here!

What’s the Word!?!?!?

CACOPHONY:  harsh, jarring noise

The sound of her voice created an almost unbearable CACOPHONY as she continued to talk to me.

Sports Talk: Heat/Knicks Series 2012

Those you know me know that I have always been a LeBron James SUPER DUPER UBER fan. I was never upset nor disappointed in “The Decision” to take his talents to South Beach! At the end of the day he made a choice, a personal choice for HIS life, family and talents to make that BUSINESS move. I was a true fan while he was in Cleveland and I have remained a true fan now that he has decided to team up with D Wade, Chris Bosh and Erik Spoelstra. Once “The Decision” was made to go to Miami I knew everyone would think/believe they would take it all last year…not good at all! With the fans, haters, media, etc., expecting too much, things just did not pane out the way “they should have.”

During last season I noticed a different LeBron, not in his character but in his game. With all the hype of them becoming the “New Big 3” really put a tremendous amount of pressure on not only LeBron but the whole organization.  As a true LBJ fan I will be the first to admit when I am wrong or talking out the side of my neck, but so many are too quick to dog him and most of those that do, barely understand the game! He is one of the best players in the game today…works hard to improve and will most likely win MVP this year which will make him a 3 time MVP! #BOW

Cleveland Fans along with LBJ haters need to SADDOWN ASAPually and get over it!

With that being said, now the Miami Heat are back in the playoffs as the number 2 seed in the eastern conference facing the number 7 seed, New York Knicks. Like other Heat fans and pretty much the NBA world, after game 3 I knew the Heat was looking to sweep the series. Yesterday’s game proved us all wrong. Neither team shot very well from the floor and was like 0-and forever behind the arch. The way the Heat were playing, I knew they would not pull out the sweep and the series would be heading back to Miami for one last game. And so now back to Miami the series goes this Wednesday at 7pm on TNT! With the 3-1 lead I can honestly say the Heat will not lose at home and close out the series at 4-1. Melo will get his points because that’s what he does, but it will not be enough to head back to the Garden. Miami has to be physical and they will be! They definitely have to attack the basket and make some perimeter shots because yesterday was OutOfOrder.com!

Bring on the Pacers……maybe that will be a sweep!

Fitness Tip of the Day: Core

During any type of physical activity, always engage the core (muscles deep within the abs and back/the torso) to increase strength. Core strength is important because these particular muscles are where our movement originates and the key source to our stability.
