A lot of talks about this vaccine mandating messing with truckers. A lot of them are not down with the government telling them what they can and can't do and I don't blame them. I am worried we will see more shortages though, especially if they go on strike. I have already witnessed several in my area. Do you think we will see more before the year is up?

Are you prepared for any shortages? I am considering getting myself one of those filtration systems for water at the very least. I think they are like $230 and filter enough water to last 5 years or something. At least if things really hit the fan, I will at least have water. lol

What are some of your biggest pet peeves? For me, it's whenever someone eats with their mouth wide open. It's so damn annoying, I hate it so much. Oh, and I hate it when people clang their fork against their teeth, or slide it against their teeth. The noise is something I hate a lot.

Other pet peeves I have are; people who don't cover their nose or mouth when sneezing or coughing, when people steal food off your plate, people who talk too much during movies and tv shows, and much more. I think most of mine are probably most of yours as well.

What are some other pet peeves you have?

I was just trying to enjoy some time outside for a while. Get some summer in before it is gone. I had no idea there was a huge wasps nest on the side of my house and these little satanic flying pieces of filth started going after me for no reason. Now I don't even want to leave my house LOL

Do you guys get any kind of pest issues in your area?

Well, we already have one game in the bag, and that was the Cowboys and Buccaneers match, which ended with the Buccaneers winning 31-29.

What are your predictions for this weeks games?

Sunday Games -
Cardinals @ Titans - I think Titans win it
Jaguars @ Texans - Texans for sure
Vikings @ Bengals - Vikings will probably win this one.
Seahawks @ Colts - Going to go against the grain, I think the Colts take this one
Steelers @ Bills - Toss up, could be either, but I'll say the Steelers win a close one.
49ers @ Lions - I see 49ers taking it, but don't count out the Lions just yet.
Chargers @ Washington - Washington will win it, I feel Chargers lost some key players recently as well.
Jets @ Panthers - Panthers are looking a lot better here. I can't see Jets going too far anyway.
Eagles @ Falcons - Tough one, but I can see Eagles winning it.
Browns @ Cheifs - Part of me wants to say the Browns, but I feel the Chiefs will be too much for them.
Packers @ Saints - I can see Packers winning. Without Drew Brees, I feel the Saints will have a rough start to the season.
Broncos @ Giants - I'm guessing the Broncos here. I don't see the Giants doing good at all.
Dolphins @ Patriots - This one could go either way, but I think the Patriots take it with their new QB under center.
Bears @ Rams - Rams seem like the better team, but the Bears are starting to get better year by year.

Monday Night Football -
Ravens @ Raiders - Ravens for sure. I would like to see the Raiders take this one, but I don't see the Ravens being stopped by them.

Anyway, what are your picks this week?

Dating when you're a kid is dumb, lets just be honest. My first ever date was back when I was 11 years old. I had this massive crush on this girl named Megan. I asked her out on a date and told her I'd pick her up on my bike and we'd ride to the nearest park to have a picnic. I thought I was being romantic and cool. I brought a blanket to sit on, a basket of food. I made us each a PB&J sandwich, and I had brought a couple lunchables along in case we got hungry again. Anyway, the picnic was pretty quick, in that she immediately told me she wanted to break up.

Now, this was just a date, we weren't dating, but she thought for some reason going out on a date made us boyfriend and girlfriend. I was confused, but also heartbroken, because I had a crush on this girl since we were in kindergarten. And at the time, I felt like she was "The One", but she wasn't. Years later, she ended up dating this one dude and ended up pregnant around 16 or so.

That was the story of my first date. Nothing spectacular or fun to be honest, but that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

What was your first date like?

Is it just me or is he not rapping about anything on each track? I want to hear a story or something cohesive but it’s like each track is Nas putting together a bunch of lines that do not relate to one another.

Don’t get me wrong, the shit sounds tight but it makes each song feel empty. The only thing that’s on subject with the title is the hook.

Am I trippin? @Mastamind @Geoff yall some music heads what y’all think?

I heard recently that Evander Holyfield decided to take a boxing match against Vitor Belfort, because Belfort's original opponent had to back out. Evander is 58 years old though and isn't looking like a pro boxer anymore. He recently was recorded training, and I guess he looked slow and sluggish. Kinda like a 58 year old retired boxer would. Belfort is 44 years old, which makes him 14 years younger than Holyfield.

I thought at first it was going to be an exhibition, but it seems it could be a legit bout instead.

How do you think this fight is going to end up going? Belfort is an MMA fighter, so I don't think he has much history as a boxer. So it could go either way. But, if Holyfield shows up to fight and is ready, I could see him going over.

Discuss what you guys think of this matchup.

The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is today, and it still feels like it happened just the other day. I remember going to school that Tuesday, I was in 6th grade. I remember sitting there most of the day, watching the news coverage of the towers, and watching as they fell. It was a surreal experience and one I still can't believe I witnessed. Even if it was just on tv.

I don't think we did much that day in school. I don't think they cancelled school or anything either, because I believe I remember sitting in school most of the day. But, part of me is remembering going home a bit early.

I remember being home later and still watching the news unfold. The cleanup, the search for survivors and more. I still can't believe something of this magnitude happened to begin with.

What are your memories of that day? Were any of you near the world trade centers when this happened?

How many of you played the first one? It was such a great game, I was hooked. Especially once you got a ways in and we’re able to go into any realm you wanted. I don’t remember the names but the only downside was outside of progresssing the story, the other realms didn’t have much to them. But overall a master piece, the weapons, attacks, mechanics and everything were first class.

I recently noticed that the WNBA only has 12 teams, compared to the NBA who has 30 teams. Reason I bring it up, is because I think they could easily add more teams into the mix. But, what cities would you like to see get one? I mean, if we can get another 12 teams in the WNBA, that would equal out to 24 and I think that's enough.

Would you like to see the WNBA get more teams? I think the more female basketball stars playing, the better.

You know, I've dated a few women in my life, and most of my relationships were pretty good. I had my share of ups and downs. And I thought a few of my past relationships were with the "one", but that didn't turn out that way.

Anyway, I'm currently single and honestly, I'm not looking for anything at the moment. I figure with Covid still around anyway, it's kinda pointless to go out and date. I've been chatting with a few women from dating sites, but that's it, it's just been chatting. I was going to set a date with one of the girls I was chatting with, but before I could even ask, she tells me she got covid recently and had to quarantine in her home.

So, I've kinda said, I'm done for now. I'll keep chatting with these women, but will take it slow going forward. I'm not going to rush into meeting anyone right now, at least not until this pandemic gets sorted out some more.

Even though the Cowboys lost last night against the Buccaneers, they still made it a very close game that they nearly won. They ended up leading with like 1:40 left to go. But, Tom Brady had a drive down the field and they kicked an easy field goal that ended it 31 to 29.

But, I gotta give the Cowboys props for their performance, because they actually looked like a team again. Do you guys think they will be a winning team this season, or will they end up having another mediocre season?

I see good old Joe has put in an order to mandate vaccination through companies. If a company has more than 100 employees, they will either have to do weekly testing (which is not cheap) or force vaccinate their employees. I am wondering how this will affect black communities and black Americans. In the US currently, black folks are the least vaccinated. I had to get vaccinated because I work at a hospital but to think you will have to get vaccinated to work at McDonald's seems ridiculous to me. I understand those who work in hospitals or are in the military being vaxed but outside of this, it makes no damn sense to me.

How do you think this will affect black Americans if this thing holds up and goes through?

Something I was thinking about today. I feel like two people putting all their money in one account seems like a good, responsible thing to; but that account ends up being the source of many an argument. We have a joint account, but ive never taken any money out. I only put money in. It’s so one sided. The idea of us going all the way with one account is terrifying to me. I don’t think I could handle it.

What do y’all think?

President Joe Biden is announcing Thursday that all employers with more than 100 workers will be forced to require coronavirus vaccinations or test employees weekly.

Biden will have OSHA make a rule requiring employees of companies to be tested. Companies will have to pay for the testing, but they can pass the cost on to employees.

Biden is also signing an executive order to require vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test instead. That covers several million more workers.

Pardon the terrible source. Basically if you work in a company 100+ employees or more, they gon fire your ass if you get vax’d. No company is going to want to have to ensure you get tested weekly for the virus.

Nothing about it is practical but it looks so cool. I would love to see a production version if this made with safety and comfort in mind. It’d be a much better site than the ugly Cybertruck that‘ll be hitting the streets next year.

I thankfully haven't had much issue with the police, but I feel I've been relatively lucky so far. I'm sure I will encounter a cop who will make trouble. I hope that day never comes. Anyway, handling the situation is scary. I have only been stopped twice in my life, and each time was smooth, for the cop that is, but for me, my anxiety was through the damn roof. I was freaking out. And I shouldn't have that fear, none of us should.

Anyway, I fear being stopped by the police, because you never know how it'll go. I always cooperate, never argue, etc. But with how some cops can be, who's to know if that will keep working.

Do you have any bad stories about dealing with the police?

I'm a big fan of Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino. His show Atlanta was so fresh when it first aired. Has anyone here watched this show? What are your thoughts on it? I am hoping they do a season 3 of the show, as they haven't aired a new episode since 2018, and I feel like maybe they called it quits on the show. But, here's hoping I'm wrong on that, cause I want season 3 please.

Finally the NFL is back. The preseason just concluded last week I think it was, and now the teams are mostly set, and we're ready to go. I can't wait. I just hope Covid doesn't come back and cause issues with the season going forward. Last season wasn't an issue, but we know how covid can be unpredictable these days.

What teams do you see making it this year? What teams do you think will go on losing streaks? Discuss the season in here I suppose. :)

Meaning dolls, Disney movies, magazines, etc. When I was little, I remember I wanted to dress up as a princess for Halloween, but I changed my mind when I realized my skin tone didn't match any of the princess costumes. I also remember my dad explaining the lack of representation in the shows that were on at the time.

I'm glad kids now have Princess Tiana, Black Panther, and so much other representation that can show them they're important too. Hopefully they don't deal with it as much.

I just saw an article about Camille directing the 2022 production of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow is Enuf. I think it's great seeing black men and women making a splash in a white dominated area like Broadway. I know a lot of people who aspired to be on Broadway were always worried about if they could get cast for certain roles. Now it seems like things are slowly changing and there's so much more opportunity for lead roles instead of background roles.

Who you guys saying the best basketball player today? Let's go with people who are still playing. LeBron is a given, simply because he's proven himself over and over. But I don't know if I'd say he's the best playing right now. Maybe in his prime, but he's kinda past his prime imo. Who do you think is the new leader in the NBA?

What are some countries you'd like to travel to? And what are some you'd rather move to? I've always wanted to travel to Japan, mainly due to the video game culture. Japan is a big one because I grew up on gaming and anime even. I've always wanted to travel to Vietnam, as I have a high school friend who moved over there years ago and I would like to visit him and his family.

What about you?
