Pssshhhh…

A’ight then…I’ll try it YOUR way…for NOW !!

Ladies…YOU got “first”…





“Top 10 Lies” ( From Males )





10. “No, you don't look fat…”
The following situation is familiar to most guys in relationships: You and your girlfriend are preparing for a night out and, as you wait for her to finish up, she comes out of the bedroom and asks, "Do I look fat in this?" The best answer I have come up with is "No, of course you don't look fat," followed by "You're beautiful" or other flattering comments. Other than ignoring your girlfriend's question, this is the only way to come out of the situation unscathed; your other answers will be twisted into something you didn't mean and door slamming will likely ensue. The bottom line is, she feels chunky and your mission is to put her fears to rest.

9.”I don't enjoy going to strip joints…”
Strip joints, like pornographic movies, appeal to our most primal instincts of sex, which few men (if any) can ignore. It's simply a shame that our girlfriends can't accept that we like seeing beautiful women dancing naked on stage. Despite this logic, the lie still propagates in relationships because it reassures your woman that there is no one else in the world worth fantasizing about. However, in reality, it's natural for us to enjoy this genre of entertainment, just as your girlfriend wouldn't admit to watching soap operas for the handsome men and romantic sex scenes.

8. “We'll talk about it later…”
This little phrase helps most of us end an argument or potential squabble. In most cases, we really don't want to "talk about it later," we never want to talk about it. Putting off the possibility of a blowup gives us some time to underline the uselessness of arguing over something so minute. Although it's a potent tool in your arsenal, make sure not to use it too often or else its underlying motives will become apparent.

7. “You remind me of Jennifer Lopez/Eva Mendes/Halle Berry, etc…”
Tha’ ultimate compliment to a woman can also be your biggest lie. Comparing her to an incredibly beautiful movie star may raise her self-confidence, but let's face it ?- is she really that hot? Congrats to you if she is, but most of us cannot claim that big a prize. Our women are beautiful, but stretching the truth may actually do more harm than good in certain cases. It's all about timing ?- don't lay it on too thick and you'll be getting breakfast in bed in no time.

6. “I love your cooking…”
Since some women can't make toast without a recipe book, there has to be an "out" for guys who get stuck with the culinarily challenged. Your best bet is to grin and bear it. Hey, at least she's cooking for you. However, if you have to ingest antacids by the truckload, perhaps you should start offering to help out with dinner. Otherwise, you may end up having to eat blackened food for years to come.






5. “I don't think of other women…”
Another denial of programmed emotions men face, this lie is usually called for, no matter how moral you are. You don't want to hurt your girlfriend, right? So, you have no choice but to deny that no other women (real or imaginary) are ever on your mind. If she believed you when you said, "I've never seen a woman more beautiful than you," this will be a piece of cake. Just be sure not to precede this lie with #7 on the list. Providing you don't think about other women all the time, you're in the clear because fantasizing or drooling over a hot babe in a magazine from time to time is no crime ?- even a psychiatrist would tell you that.

4. “You can use my razor to shave your legs…”
If the thought of your girlfriend's legs full of hairy fuzz wasn't unsightly enough, some men have to deal with a recycled razor ?- that is, one of your own beard-busters. The thing is, confronting her about this may not be worth it, since the argument could really escalate. Instead, buy her a razor for when she spends the night at your place, and hide your own.

3. “I love Meg Ryan movies…”
Some untruths exist simply to help you save your energy and this is certainly one of them. Instead of explaining how unrealistic, silly and boring romantic comedies are, it is better to simply tune out during the movie and reap the benefits of a happy, romantic-minded girlfriend afterward. Get yourself a big bag of popcorn, candy and a drink, and when you're done, head to the bathroom and chat it up with all the other guys who love Meg Ryan movies.

2. “I love spending time with your mom…”
Sometimes, the key to a woman's heart is through her family, even though they may be more obnoxious than the Costanzas from Seinfeld. It is worth putting up with them if you get the girl, especially if you are really serious about the relationship. Admit to your girlfriend that you do, in fact, enjoy going over to her parents' house for dinner. A fortunate guy will have the best in-laws ever, but, if history is any indication, the odds of this are quite slim. Therefore, enduring her mother's quirks, comments and behavior becomes an important part of your repertoire, as does your insistence that family time is fun.

1. “I'm sorry…”
Whether it's to escape a sticky situation or nip an argument in the bud, these two little words can come in quite handy. Used sparingly, this device is your greatest route to turning your girlfriend's scowl into a smile, if it's said with conviction. She could be going on about one of your idiosyncrasies or something you have said and all you have to do is stop her, say "I'm sorry" followed by a promise to change, and everything will be all right, at least for the time being. This phrase should be familiar, as it is the same one used when your mother scolded you as a child. As such, this lie has stood the test of time and remains the weapon of choice for many stricken males.





OOPS !!!

OH…don’t laugh ladies…ya’ll ain’t exactly settin’ new standards when it comes to bein’ honest about shit !!





For instance…


“Top 10 Lies” ( From Females )





10) "I wouldn't change a thing about you."
Do you really believe that she wouldn't change anything about you? I mean I'm sure you'd change plenty about her but wouldn't dare tell her. There are probably many things about you that she'd like to change, unless you're still in that first flush of romance - and in that case it's only because she hasn't decided what she'd change yet.

9) "I love hanging out with your friends."
She might like your friends but she won't want them around her all the time. This is the kind of lie you get early on in a relationship but it doesn't mean you'll get away with a four hour poker session round your place every Saturday night.

8) "I don't mind picking up after you."
Once again, this is a lie your girlfriend might tell you at the beginning of your relationship. She'll say that she really doesn't mind picking up the dirty dishes you leave lying around and that she just loves doing the laundry. I hate to break it to you, but this isn't going to last either. Soon enough, she'll be telling you to wash your smelly socks yourself and that it's your turn to do the dishes.

7) "I love your family."
A tricky one because on occasion this may be the truth. However, if she secretly despises them, she probably won't tell you in order to spare your feelings. If you really want to know the truth, observe her reactions when they're around. If all the muscles in her face tighten up before she forces a fake smile and mutters an unenthusiastic "Great!", she definitely isn't crazy about them.

6) "I love sports."
Ah, another first date classic as she searches for a common interest. But unless you're lucky enough to have found one of the rare true female sports fans out there, within a few weeks, she'll probably be complaining every time you sit down to watch a game. This lie really sucks because it feeds false hopes in the minds of unsuspecting men.






5) "I won't get mad if you say I look fat."
Not so much a lie as a trap. No matter what you say, she will get angry. If you try to tell her that she looks great, she'll accuse you of lying to make her feel better, on the other hand, if you tell her that she has, in fact, put on a couple of pounds, you're likely to set off a war in your living room.

4) "You're right."
Normally rears its ugly head at the argument which ends with her telling you that you were right. Don't believe her? Even if she realizes she's wrong, chances are slim to none that she'll actually admit it. The fact is that many women will tell you that you're right to shut you up, but what they're really thinking is: "He'll find out soon enough that I'm right." Then she'll proceed to find some devious way to prove their point to you.

3) "It doesn't bother me when you check out other women."
It's quite simple: She wants to feel like you only have eyes for her but will lie because she doesn't want it to look that way. She wants to appear to be open-minded but is actually upset when you check out the hot blonde in the supermarket.

2) "I don't care how much money you have."
It has been proven that women want a guy who is financially stable and independent. They aren't all looking for a sugar daddy; they just want to know that their man is capable of taking care of a potential future family. Of course, your girlfriend probably won't tell you this so as not to scare you off with discussions about family and the future.

1) "Don't worry honey, it happens to everyone."
This lie is only one of the dozens of sex-related lies that women tell to spare their partner's feelings, including the classics "size doesn't matter" and "you're the best I've ever had." Most men will have temporary erectile difficulties at some point in their lives and most women are aware of this fact. However, that doesn't mean that it doesn't bother your girlfriend when you're getting hot and heavy and suddenly there's nothing happening down there.





SO…now that I’ve stirred tha’ proverbial pot a lil’ bit, let’s see what YOU have to say…or add…or dispute…or whatever…





Nonetheless, it’s now YOUR turn…

MAKE SURE They're Pregnant BEFORE Rubbin' Their Belly...

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE demotivational poster


So here we go…

In my MANY travels to MANY places, I come across some interesting things and even MORE interesting PEOPLE to say tha' very least !! Lemme' tell ya'll that these very people NEVER cease to amaze me !!


REAR ENDED demotivational poster


Continuing on with tha' theme of "realization", I have to say that my black ass realized some things recently !! Fellas need to pay especially close attention to this one…

**MAKE SURE a female is actually PREGNANT before you affectionately rub her belly !! ** ( or ask her when tha' baby is due !! )

There were these 3 females walkin' around together at this "social event"…

I'm a "social butterfly", so I'll speak to just about anyone in a friendly tone until they cross a line or two…well these three females ( notice how I won't call them ladies or women ) crossed ALL KINDS of boundary lines before tha' first word was even spoken !!

FIRST of all…lil' "belly shirts" ain't for everybody !! Half-tops, tank-tops, tube-tops...they are to be worn with DISCRETION !! They don't HOLD BACK, HIDE or RESTRAIN things ( like say, ummm...a lotta' boobage ) and they CERTAINLY don't flatter those things that SHOULD be COVERED UP ( such as a BUDDA BELLY, JELLY BELLY or S.P.A.M. - Stretched & Pulled Anatomical Mess ) !!


TUBE TOPS demotivational poster


Someone didn't tell these three...lookin' like they were 6-months pregnant !!

SECOND of all…ya'll know those lil' tight-ass gym shorts ?? Okay...they're meant for tha' GYM...not out in a CLUB !! Wearin' your gray terry-cloth-lookin' shorts and rollin' them up to your ass-crack is NOT cute...is NOT sexy...is NOT a statement of classy feminine individualism in ANY dimension of time or space !! Those shorts made their asses look like they were suffocatin' in a funky, hairy mess !! Yes I said "funky" and "hairy" ‘cause I could tell that they were BOTH !!


HAIRY CHICK demotivational poster


NO I didn't have to get a "close-up" either...I'm already AT ass-level remember !! When you learn about things, you just know OTHER things too !!

THIRDLY…dressin' "trashy" usually makes it easier to BEHAVE as such !! If you don't care how you LOOK, chances are that you won't give a damn about how you ACT !! While this isn't ALWAYS tha' case, if you give me 5 people that LOOK like stir-fried shit, I'll end up flushin' 4 of 'em !!


WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT? demotivational poster

PARIS LOVE CUBBY demotivational poster


That's just tha' way it is folks !! Don't give me all that Charlie Brown blah, blah blah about how different you are...humans are creatures of habit !! Things go in cycles and it's just that simple !! It takes a whole lot to break a pattern…some of us make a habit outta' breakin' patterns, which in itself IS a pattern !! But Sug's Psychology Class doesn't start today, so we won't go there...hee hee !! My POINT is that these 3 females followed a pattern that was established through their choices in attire...hence tha' REST of tha' drama surroundin' them on this night !!


PEEING IN THE SINK demotivational poster


FOURTH...if someone doesn't INVITE you into their "personal space", it's probably best that you DON'T INVADE their personal space…someone forgot to tell these three monstrosities about that shit too !! One by one, they'd come up, do tha' "HI...I'm..." introduction thingy and instead of just wavin' or shakin' my hand, they tried to come in for an immediate plant of tha’ ass in my lap, then a hug !!

Now I'm an affectionately friendly kinda' person, but when someone is all sweaty and surrounded by a cloud of body funk, they ain't gettin' anywhere CLOSE to me without gettin' their feelings ( and possibly their physcial being ) hurt !!


ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES demotivational poster


They'd lean in with arms open and I'd be like "HEYYYYYY...my shirt ain't THAT absorbant, Pippy Funkstocking !!" ( with a smile of course ) and USUALLY that'd stop tha' whole "sit and hug Sug" process...tha' first FEW times !!

Mind ya'll...I didn't even know these "three lil' pigs" !!


REAL BEAUTY demotivational poster


So after seein' two of them gyrate, grope and fondle each other and random guys on tha' dance floor, then each other again, tha' third one comes over and stands beside me...I notice this bulge in her belly and proceed to rub it ( still smilin' ) lovingly, askin' when tha' baby was due…she looks at me and winks...then puts her arm around me as if to put my ear to her stomach so I can possibly "connect" with tha' "baby"…

What can I say...I'm a sucka' for kids, born or unborn ( and I don’t mean that retarded-ass movie either ) !!


Ballpit demotivational poster


Anyway, I notice that her belly ( now pressed against my ear ) was just a bit TOO soft to be pregnant...then I "realize" that she's tryin' to dance with me as I'm bein' held against her like some 3-yr old that's still bein' breast-fed !! ( Use your imaginations on that one ‘cause no details are necessary !!! )


THE FAILBOAT demotivational poster


So now I pull away and roll away quickly because I felt violated, molested and infested by this female that looked pregnant !! Anotha' friend of mine, Susan, knows this female...I saw them give each other hugs earlier in tha' night and they were chattin' it up quite a bit after I made my hasty retreat to "my personal space" !! Eventually she works her way over to me and asks me what I think of what's her name...I gave her my best facepalm…


FACEPALM demotivational poster


I then look across tha' way and see ol' "Funk Beast" starin' over at us, which told me that she sent Amy over to find out what I thought of her...so I did what I do best...I let her know that her chances were none to DEFINITELY NOT EVER with a motion of my hand to my throat in a slicing motion !! She then lifted up her drink ( it appeared to be a Long Island Ice Tea ) and rolled her eyes...hee hee !!


OMFG demotivational poster


It was right here that I had my "realization" moment !!

Lookin' at Susan, I was like, "WHY is she drinkin' when she's pregnant ??"

Amy looked at me kinda' weird at first, then got this "dazed and confused" expression on her face...to which I said, "That's your friend right ?? She IS pregnant...RIGHT ??"

Susan slowly shook her head "no"…


FAT ASIAN MONKEY demotivational poster


* PZZZT !! *

My light-bulb flickered on suddenly !!

SHOCK was my initial feeling...however as tha' night went on and I would see these three wildebeasts suck every tongue, grab every crotch and get felt-up by every horny ( an obviously DRUNK ) person in tha' place, male AND female alike, my "shock" became "realization"…


SHIT demotivational poster


Realization of tha' fact that "shit" is always gonna' BE shit, no matter WHERE or WHEN you come across it…just don't let any get ON ya' and DON'T STEP IN IT !! If you SMELL IT before you SEE IT, there's some "shit" in your circumference !! Break out tha' "pooper scooper", some disinfectant and clear a path !!

And laugh already !!

My Sugarliciously Steelerific Day

This is tha’ day that initiated tha’ process that led to all of ya’ll bein’ blessed wit’ a cute dimpled brotha’ named Sugar Ray…a brotha’ of sugarliciously delicious comical levels and an upper echelon mentality…

( did THIS get my blog post deleted ?? )



I’m happy that I get to share my “celebratory moment” with ya’ !!

I woke up Sunday, looked in tha’ mirror and I said to myself, “SUG…ya’ made it to anotha’ dayummm year !! Make it good one…NO !! Make it a GRRREAT one this time !! Reach new levels that seem outta’ reach !! OH WAIT…nothin’ seems outta’ reach, especially since nothin’ IS outta’ reach !! Okay then…make your MOM proud again !! Make your DAD proud again !! Keep makin’ Jada and Autumn proud !! Make your LIL’ BROTHA’ proud again !! Make my three LIL’ SISTAS proud again !! Make your COUSINS proud again !! Make your AUNTS proud again !! Make your UNCLES proud again !! And all those people that consider you a friend…make THEM proud again !! Make ALLLL of ‘em proud again and in doin’ so, you’ll make GOD proud…HE’S tha’ one that made it possible for ya’ to even HAVE a NATURAL birf’day and to have tha’ SECOND birf’day…”

:::: sees all tha’ looks of confusion ::::

Okay…SUNDAY was my natural birf’day…tha’ day I was born to my parents and embarkin’ on this journey called “Life”…but that life of mine came to an abrupt end on May 16, 1993 !!

:::: deep breath ::::

THEN as I explained in my previous blog, through tha’ grace of “Big Man Upstairs”, I was givin’ anotha’ chance to live again…on that same day, May 16, 1993…tha’ day a drunk driver abruptly altered tha’ lives of 5 people and their families…forever !!

I was tha’ only survivor and I live my life, reborn and rejuvenated…”sugarlicious” in fact…

Hmmmm…

”Sugarlicious”…what does that mean ??

While I make folks laugh at things in my life, make folks laugh from my point of view and just make folks laugh in general, I’ve noticed that after my last blog commentary, quite a large number of you are curious ‘bout lil’ ol’ ME…which makes my black ass a bit nervous !! Ya’ll want DETAILS fo’ cryin’ out loud !! And while I give speeches about tha’ circumstances that made it possible for me to enjoy life sittin’ on my ass all tha’ time ( and bein’ face-to-face with plenty of asses ), I realize that I haven’t really shared a whole lot with ya’ll in my writin’…so today’s ya’ lucky day !! Bein’ “sugarlicious” means sharin’…so here it goes !!

Basically it’s like this…some of ya’ll know this already and some of ya’ll don’t…

My life was planned-out for me…havin’ been a hard-headed and SOMEWHAT arrogant athlete had me thinkin’ that I was impervious to everything…I knew that I was good and that life was meant for me to “have it all” !! Visualizin’ success was a normal thought for me and thoughts of takin’ care of my family was tha’ fuel that I used to “plan ahead”…



What I DIDN’T plan on was “chance” and “unforseen occurrence”…

All it took was a few seconds to put me back at “square one”, with no ideas and no plans…a drunk driver and his drunk passenger ultimately had tha’ last say and I was denied permission to follow through with my NBA pursuit…as I woke up on a ventilator, unable to speak or breathe on my own and thoroughly confused as to HOW I came to be in such a situation, I quickly realized that I was in for the fight of my life…

As I laid there with a tube down my throat and a machine “breathing” for me, tha’ doctors tried to reassure me…


“Ray…you were in an accident…relax and let the machine breathe for you…we’ll help you as much as we can…it’s gonna’ be okay”…etc…

I knew that it wasn’t gonna’ be okay though…plus I was in too much pain to worry about it…I was hurtin’ too much to even think about it…tha’ looks on the faces of everyone in that operation room told me that this was tha’ 4th quarter, with 2:00 minutes to go and me bein’ in tha’ hospital served as my last “time out” !!



I was gonna’ have to devise a plan and make it count…

Over tha’ next year or so in and outta’ hospital stay, I pushed-on through countless surgeries, various complications with my body tryin’ to adjust, struggles within myself as to who I was and who I was YET to be, as well as losin’ of one of my dearest and best friends, Geoffrey Pelton, in this very accident…all at barely 21 years old !!

It wasn’t fair !!

I was SUPPOSED to be havin’ FUN !!
I was SUPPOSED to be care-FREE !!
I was SUPPOSED to be takin’ care of my family !!

I was supposed to…

…and then it hit me !!

Tha’ ONLY thing that I was SUPPOSED to be doin’ was givin’ 100% and handlin’ one thing at a time…which meant that I needed to stop worryin’ about what I DIDN’T have and start focusin’ on what I DID have…what I COULD have !! MORE IMPORTANTLY though, I needed to focus on what I could LEARN and GIVE BACK !! So rest assured, I’m gonna’ keep on sharin’ laughs and sharin’ things I learn…no matter what !!



WHY ??

Well it’s actually part of fulfillin’ my original plan…I’m here to help other people FEEL better and DO better !! THAT’S my purpose…THAT’S my pathway…THAT’S what it means to be “Sugar Ray”…my name literally means “Sweet Sunshine”…hence my phrase “Sugarlicious”…

When tha’ day seems to be full of “clouds”, I’m that sunshine…that “sweet sunshine” !!



Oh I’ve had my own “cloudy, rainy days”…tha’ cloudiest and rainiest of ‘em bein’ on May 16th, 1993…

That was tha’ day that drunk driver and his passenger hit us head-on, goin’ 110 mph as they crossed a grassy median of Interstate 581 in Roanoke, Virginia…there were two people in their car, Geoff and I in our car and one woman in tha’ car behind us that we were pushed into…

I’m tha’ only survivor…

Tha’ drunk driver was behind tha’ wheel of his drunk passenger’s car…they didn’t have their seatbelts on…they were declared as “habitual offenders” and had suspended licenses…they were banned from Virginia highways for ten years each…

Yet THEY were NOT in jail…and THEY ruined SO many lives that night…



A lotta’ folks wanted to know what transpired and I was unwillin’ to use it as a topic of casual conversation...hopefully in readin’ it now, someone WON’T go out and do tha’ same damn thing !! But we’ll see…



Now, am I tryin’ to say that “they” are tha’ reason I’m feelin’ tha’ way I am ?? Absolutely not…I’ve faced that particular hurdle and cleared it long ago…it was however one of tha’ many thoughts goin’ through my head as I tried to figure out what tha’ problem may be…

Have ya’ ever felt like everything in ya’ life that was once viewed as an accomplishment suddenly became a liability of sorts ??

It’s weird…

Sometimes we are happy to be there for others and happy that we’ve been able to progress so far in our lives, smilin’ with more determination to continue reachin’ out, to continue lovin’ everyone 100% unless they prove themselves unworthy, etc…

Then we reach a point where we ask ourselves “why” ?? For what ??

Sacrifices made don’t seem to have mattered at all when things do tha’ “full circle” scenario, only to find ya’self right back at tha’ same startin’ point every time…compassionate efforts to help seem pointless when tha’ very same people who sought your help in tha’ first place repeat tha’ same “dead end” course of actions…

Blah, blah, blah…

I could go on and on, but again…WHY ??



I could keep hope alive that so many good things that we are taught about as children will come about when we’re adults…but why ?? We KNOW that they won’t…shit is plummetin’ in a downward spiral, faster and faster by tha’ second…

Grown-ass people actin’ like muh’fuckin’ children and throwin’ temper tantrums, hurtin’ tha’ very people they claim to “love” in tha’ process...

Kids aren’t taught tha’ proper things at home, which in turn shows when they act a damn fool in public and start actin’-out towards whoever pisses ‘em off…

People are more shady than EVER IMAGINED and we have given them tha’ perfect way to “sharpen” their skills in tha’ form of somethin’ that was SUPPOSED to revolutionize humanity…tha’ muh’fuckin’ INTERNET…

Everything is becomin’ more and more shitty and I’m SO tired of flushin’ tha’ damn toilet !!



I tend to be a bit TOO analytical sometimes and yet, I think that’s what keeps me determined and keeps me focused…so there’s hope…

I perform in front of lots of people, friends, family, strangers, etc and always seem be able to get ‘em laughin’…so there’s hope !!

I publicly speak about what happened to me, about my continued achievements and it gives people encouragement to do tha’ same thing in their lives, whether they’re in wheelchairs or not…so there’s hope !!

I am blessed every single day in every single way, which I wanna’ share with everyone that I can and thanks to “Big Man Upstairs”, I’m able to find a way to reach all types of personalities and be of some kinda’ help…which tells me that there’s hope !!

I see my daughters growin’ and understandin’ more and more as I help, teach and protect ‘em until they can do so for themselves…then I’ll keep doin’ so anyway…so there’s hope !!

I’m so loved by my family that extends all around tha’ globe and realize that even in such a large family, our love is not lost in tha’ shuffle, nor are any of us who could’ve easily lost contact with one anotha’…so there’s hope !! FAMILY is FIRST…after God !!

I then recognize that all of you readin’ this and who let me into ya’ lives while takin’ your place in mine are my extended family too…all of YOU play a HUGE part in me bein’ as successful as I am…as “sugarlicious” as I am…

( I wonder if THIS was what got me deleted before )

…so there’s hope !!

God is good folks…pull your heads outta’ yo’ asses and recognize, then elevate to where I am at least…it ain’t EVER bad enough to allow yourselves to remain STUCK WHERE YOU ARE !!

SHUT tha’ fuck up…LOOK tha’ fuck up and GET THA’ FUCK UP !!

If you ain’t where ya’ think you SHOULD be in life, don’t jus’ COMPLAIN about it…CHANGE it !! Get yo’ ass up off ya’ shoulders so that you can pull ya’ head outta’ your ass and devise a muh’fuckin’ plan…act like Nike and JUS’ DO THA’ DAMN THANG !!



If that’s not motivation enough, then I guarantee that what I’m ‘bout to say will “motivate” ya’…

Sugar Ray Says: I’m a guy in a wheelchair that’s achievin’ every damn thing possible for any one man at this very moment !! I may need help every now and then, but it’s only outta’ necessity...what’s YOUR excuse ??!!



:::: raised eyebrow ::::

And for those who didn’t LIKE what I just said, I have one last thing for ya’...THREE SHOES !!

Two on ya’ FEET…
One IN YO’ ASS !!



YEAH…I said that shit out loud !! Only people who REFUSE to do BETTER for THEMSELVES will find somethin’ wrong with it, which means that THEY don’t DESERVE to have a Sugar Ray in their lives ANY DAMN WAY !! To those, I’m pointin’ “to tha’ left, to tha’ left”…don’t let tha’ doorknob hitcha’ where tha’ good Lord splitcha’ !!

Everybody ELSE, c’mon…let’s watch my STEELERS win tha’ Super Bowl !!

Back To Tha' "Old School"...

OHHHH what a weekend !!

As of today, EVERYONE should have a WHOLE LOT to appreciate !! I know that I do !! What can I say...LIFE IS GOOD !!

Despite bein' able to find tha' "silver lining" on jus' about ANY cloud, I'm gonna' speak on somethin' that have me a bit VEXED to say tha' very LEAST !! As only Dr. Sugar Ray can, I'm gonna' apply some common sense and sarcasm in an effort to "medicate" several contagious "illnesses" that had me a lil' bit worried from over tha' weekend:

* BAD ASS KIDS and tha' parents who either don't WANNA' discipline 'em or didn't know HOW to discipline 'em !!

* FEMALES WITH NO SELF-ESTEEM who think that if they are as skinny as a f-ckin' pole, somethin' must be WRONG with 'em !!

ENOUGH IS E-F-CKIN'-NUFF ALREADY !!

Allow Dr. Sugar Ray to come out and put my "medicine" out there like it NEEDS to be put out there cause' apparently, there are SOME elements of our society that either got it TWISTED or jus' ain't got it AT ALL !!

I'm sendin' this one out with my infamous "K.I.S.S." method...as in "Keep It Simple Suga'.."
* MUUUAAAAHHHH !! *

I was raised up "old school"....and lookin' at tha' results of MY upbringin' versus tha' "new school" bullsh-t that these "so-called parents" are stressin' themselves to death about, I'll stick to my "old school" !!! But to be fair, I'll present and weigh-out BOTH..

Are ya' ready ?? Get ya' notebooks out dammit !! I'm droppin' some "Sugar Rayisms" fo' dat ass today !!

* DISCIPLINE !! *

Old School: If you acted up in public, that was yo' ass !! You got beat right there, beat on the way home and beat when you got home...then got grounded !!

A "time out" ??? SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT !!

Hell, the only "time out" that you got in the 'old school' is getting 'time out' to think ‘bout that ass-whoopin' comin' your way or if you were in a two-parent household, THOSE ass-whoopins comin' your way…one from Mom right then and there, plus the one from Dad once he got home from work, already pissed-off from Mom's phone call to him about you while he was on his lunch break !!
New School: If you act up THESE days, yeah Mom might beat yo' ass ( if you're in WALMART !! ) but then someone steps in with a threat to call Child Protective Services, prompting mom to take your bad ass home and put you in time-out...

..in tha’ meantime, tha’ "time-out" serves as tha’ perfect opportunity for Lil' Jimmy to call tha’ cops because he's finally learned how to get out of trouble: just say "my mommy hit me" and he gets to go on a field-trip to anotha' house with anotha' family, only to regret his actions when he's older, realizin' that his impetuous and rash emotional behavior was enabled by a system of over-protective, hyper-sensitive people who are tryin' to compensate for somethin' that was f-cked-up in their own lives at some point, with a lil' dose of someone "real" to throw a monkey-wrench in tha' whole thought process..

Yeah...you're probably readin' this and are just as confused as Lil' Jimmy was...

I say just take it back to the "old school”...LOL !!

* FEMALE SELF ESTEEM !! *

Old School: Plastic surgery was totally a "NO, NO" !! Being "au naturale" was the pinnacle of beauty ( it still is !! )!! A woman with curves was dangerous alluring, dangerously sexy and OH MY GOD, so much FUN !! ( ..did I just say that out loud ?? ) Men appreciated and truly loved the complete beauty of a good woman, from the inside out, exactly as she was !!

New School: If you DON’T get plastic surgery to alter something, it's like, "What tha' f-ck is wrong with you ?"

Breast implants, ass implants, chin scrapes, tummy tucks, liposuction, BOTOX, surgical hair implantation, cheek lifts.....what's next folks ?? I mean damn...ya’ gotta' have a file cabinet just to keep up with the warranties of all these "alterations", just in case somethin' goes awry..

If you ask me, it's just not worth it…

GO BACK TO THA' OLD SCHOOL DAMMIT !!!

I like women that I can associate with the Blue Ridge Parkway:
- Breath-takin' when you get a good, complete look at ‘em...
- Having natural "take-your-time" curves, hills and mountains to climb and enjoy...
- Can have me worked-out and totally relaxed after a nice long ride...
- Somethin' that I want to experience repeatedly and on a continually regular basis...
- Makes a brotha' wanna' take a lotta’ pictures…to reminisce over...* wink *

Oh THAT sh-t I DID say out loud !! And now that you're awake, I'm gonna' shift into "cruise control" and handle tha' rest of my day !! I hope that all of you are able to get this week off with a positive * POP * to it !!

As for me, I'm just gonna' focus on handlin' tha' rest of this week like I handle my life..
..with a K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Suga'... * wink *

Class Dismissed !!

Ashy Is A No, No...

To start us off, I'm gonna' put somethin' up here that needs to be a REGULAR REMINDER of sorts....keep readin' and you'll understand why !! As I watched tha’ BET Awards last night, I feel that it’s my duty to my people to speak on this..

I'M gonna' do a "public service" that is so long overdue and trust me, I WILL be addressin' this on a REGULAR BASIS DAMMIT !! It’s a BIG problem in tha’ black community !! Some people even call it an epidemic….tha' NECESSITY of lotion....not tha' 'desire', tha' 'thought' or even tha' "Ooops, I forgot" part of it..!!

The words "necessary" and "lotion" go TOGETHER....ESPECIALLY for us 'black folks', otherwise, it's an "Ash Offense” !!

I understand that sometimes, you're in a rush in the mornin', tryin' to eat and get dressed after that hot shower....but unless you wanna' be compared to "Buck Wheat" and have folks thinkin' stuff like, "Dayummmmmmmm....they came straight outta’ tha' Color Purple..", you'd better make time to put some lotion on, with yo' black ass.. { I know, I know....it ain't just for us black folks, but since I'M black, I can't speak for tha' non-black folks dammit !! }

Too many folks are walkin' ‘round "ashy", lookin' like they just climbed outta' hell's ashes and shook off, then kept goin', dust and sh-t flyin' off everywhere....lookin' like "Pig Pin" from Charlie Brown, with or without all the flies !!

Ya’ may be askin' yourself, "Yo Sug....exactly WHERE are these 'offenses of ash' takin' place ??"

Good question..

The "Ash Offense" is happenin' everywhere as we speak....er, type....right now..
*around ya’, if you're in a class or at work !!
*in the privacy of their own homes AND in public !!

No matter where ya’ look, I can personally guarantee that you’ll see at least one severe case of "ashy ass" !!

Tha' sh-t is bad enough that if a big gust of wind were to suddenly whip through, people would be lost in a cloud of their own ash….they'd look like human-sized puffs of smoke movin' around, tryin' to get from one point to anotha'..!!

Now lemme' go ahead and discuss the use of the word "ashy" versus the actuality of havin' "dry skin"..

- If you can see pockets of dried white substances on ya’ skin and you didn't put ‘em there, yo' ass might be ashy !!

- If you can lick your finger, wipe a spot on ya’ face and have it change color from lighter to darker, yo' ass might be ashy !!

- If you can take a wet washcloth, wipe the skin on any part of your body and have it look like you just made a clean spot, yo' ass might be ashy !!

- If you can clap ya' hands and create a dust cloud, yo' ass might be ashy !!

- If any part of your nickname contains the words "ashy" in it, then you've been "found out"....AND yo' ass is ashy !!

- If you approach someone of the opposite sex and they have a look of horror on their face, yo' ass is probably ashy !! Either that or you have a booga' hangin' outta’ ya' nose....or you're just plain muh’f-ckin’ ugly !!

- If you have just finished washin' the dishes or did anything where any part of your body was in some water and you’re now in an air-conditioned room, ain't no way around it....yo' ass is ashy !!

- If you’ve been outside for any length of time sweatin', then come inside and tha' air in tha' house is air-conditioned, better do a body-check cause' at least some part of yo' ass is gonna’ be ashy !!

- If you just ran out of lotion or you’re ‘bout to run out of lotion, better get to tha' store cause' ya' know yo' ass is gonna’ to be ashy or yo' ass is already ashy !!

:::: gigglin’ ::::

Now havin' "dry skin" is different….yes it may have "ashy" characteristics....I'm not denyin' that at all….but let's face it folks, "dry skin" actually HURTS !! Lotion ain't gonna' help once you've reached the "dry skin" level..

They have special cream for that sh-t and it's not cheap, so catch it in the beginning levels....slick it up when it's only "ashy"....get some lotion on that ass !!

Don't end up like Sean Combs....Puff Daddy....P. Diddy.. { That fool was all ova’ tha’ BET Awards like he was tweekin’ on some speed pills or somethin’.. } The "daddy" of "puffy-ashy" went and "diddy" it with Pro-Active…."I use Pro-Activ to moisturize my situation and preserve my sexy.."

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Negro.....yo' ass let the ashy 'situation' become a chapped ashy mess !!

Either THAT or Ol' J-Lo { or Kim } left some tread marks deep enough on that ass to where even cocoa butter couldn't smooth that sh-t out.. { and ya’ll KNOW how us black folks LOVE our cocoa butter }

Is that why you're always tryin' to dance around in everybody's videos....to work up a sweat so that you don't look chapped and ashy, Mister Color Purple ??
"..you SHO’ is uggggly..”

And for tha' love of everything holy, listen to Ice Cube and Chris Tucker from the movie "FRIDAY" tha’ next time ya’ wanna’ get in front of tha’ camera without those sunglasses dawg…."DAMMMMNNNNNNNNN !!....put yo' glasses back on.." !!

..damn mongoose-lookin' cabbage-patch muh’f-cka !!

:::: Don’t get excited Corey….YOU look like a mongoose too, but I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout YO’ bitch ass…THIS time !! ::::

I thought I was watchin' a collaboration of "Rikki Tikki Tavi" and "Lord of the Rings"
- "Ticky Tacky Diddy" in "Lord of the Bling" !!

Hey "rap star"....stick to producin' records, ya' non-lyrical negro-spiritual !! Everyone else....get some lotion on those ashy asses already !!

Where's my cocoa butter at ??!!

Oh here's some more things to getcha' gigglin' as I push ya' up over tha' hump today !!

Fellas....I'm usin' my foot to push yo' asses !!
Ladies....I'm INNOCENTLY usin' my big, strong hands....* wink, wink * { I hope ya' asses ain't funky or ashy dammit !! }

DOH !!

Need more ??

Dr. Sugar Ray Presents: “Best Divorce Letter EVER !!”

Dear wife:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.

These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw.

Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had a new haircut, had cooked your favourite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers.

You ate in two minutes and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife.

Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.

Your EX-Husband

P.S. don't try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together !! Have a great life !!

OF COURSE, she replied:

Dear Ex-Husband

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter.

It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been.

I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work.

I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was “You look just like a girl !” Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment.

And when you cooked my favourite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.

About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them and I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning.

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a dime from me. So take care.

Signed,
Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and Free !!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem.

ROFLMAO !!! Okay....okay....one more fo' ya' !!

This one is actually PERFECT for tha' moment....this one RIGHT HERE !!

Dr. Sugar Ray Presents: “MY NEXT LIFE”

I want to live my next life backwards:

You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.
Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.
Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.
Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're too young to work.
You get ready for High School : drink alcohol, party, and you're generally promiscuous.
Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have no responsibilities.
Then you become a baby, and then...
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in Spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then...

You finish off as an orgasm.

** Bow chicka WOW-WOW **

Ya'll "wascally wabbits"....if ya' ain't over tha' proverbial "hump" yet, hop to it and go do tha' damn thang !!

Class Dismissed !!
