Looking back over the friendships of my own life, I can say with some degree of certainty that friends come in five basic brands: casual, temporary, seasonal, [...]
I just heard last night the sad news that Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother have been murdered in their own home in Chicago yesterday. I think this is just tragic and just so sad. I hope Jennifer has support from friends and family to help her get through this painful time in her life. One thing I know [...]

Robin Thicke’s new CD “Something Else” was released last week I haven’t gotten the chance to listen to the album yet. However, I will say this Thicke’s 2006 album “The Evolution Of Robin Thicke” is excellent and I was so the album went platinum.
