The latest sketch from Pick 6. Take Your Butt To Blockers (Blockers Insurance) - watch more funny videos

10/25/2010 "Another Side of Me" What's up world? I hope everyone is doing well and living their life to the fullest. If you haven't already, go check out the newest sketch from the Pick 6 crew, "Blockers Insurance". We've all had that moment when we've been attempting to get quality time and someone kept interrupting. Well we've got the insurance for that now (click  here  to see the commercial). I really had a topic I wanted to drop, but I will save that for the next blog. For now, sit back and enjoy a little rhyme I wrote. No matter how close we are, it feels like you evade me/ Suburban Black kid, you just don’t relate to me/ And that’s how it go, my own hood don’t relate to me/ Feeling out of this world; my crib’s outer space to me/ Maybe that’s why when I get “"Sirius”"/ You look at me funny, like I’m reciting “Delirious”/ Not Eddie with the jokes, but you can come in my America/ But why I gotta be mackin to show I ai...

Hello good people; I hope all is well. I want to add a quick disclaimer prior to the reading of this blog: I’m getting my boogie on right now. Don’t worry, it’s just practice. Any who, allow me to do my shout-outs: Shout out to “She She”, who I’ve never met but you seem cool; the Crump family (Mr. Crump, Mrs. Crump, and MACEO!); and finally people who brush their teeth twice a day. Don Ruiz's Five Agreements are tough to beat, like the starting five in South Beach. Today I want to share with you a few methods of gaining peace and success that I’ve recently been subjected to. In one of my many trips to Washington, I happened to hear about these tools of peace titled “The Five Agreements”, developed by author and New Age Spiritualism advocate Don Miguel Ruiz. The summary of his teachings are that we must remove ourselves from responsibility of other people’s problems and issues, giving us more time to develop ourselves as people of integrity and peace. Upon hearing t...

 Hello friends, how are you? I hope you experienced a fun productive weekend. Before I begin, I want to shout out a few good people: the frat brothers (Alpha Phi Alpha) from my home chapter, my good friends and sorority sisters Mikki, Crystal, and Imani, kids who listen to their parents, and my home girl Amanda. “Braceface”, you’re a bad girl. This weekend, I visited my alma mater, Cheyney University, the oldest historically black college in the nation, for Homecoming Weekend. The trip was filled with good friends and great times, but also opportunity to do a research project on the event. Yes, I get my investigation on. So here are my top three observations about homecoming, black college style: 1.        Older People Like to Wear Velour in 80⁰ Weather. In an amazing turn of events, the 50+ male demographic opted not to wear linen (their signature cloth) and selected velour from various early 2000s designers, including Sean John, Rocawear, Phat Far...

Ooh yeah! Ooh yeah! Ooh…sorry, practicing my Jodeci vocals; what’s going on everybody? I pray that everything is going well for you and yours.   A few notes before we begin: Redskins prevail again, so I must shout out Donovan McNabb (aka Run DMc) and the Redskins “Who You?” Nation. We don’t ask “Who Dat?” like the Saints fans.   When you come to our field talking nonsense, we say, “Who You?” Secondly, I want to say Happy Birthday in advance to my Dad, Charles Perry.   He exemplifies the terms manhood and fatherhood, and without him, I would not be able to introduce the Charles Perry Line of The Day. Occasionally we will bring in some of the highlights of my conversations with my father. So here’s Daddy on being the “cool guy”: “I told since you were younger, stop worrying about being the ‘cool guy’. Be smart, and you’ll be the cool guy’s boss. Remember his woman, the chick everyone was so hype over? She’s broke, beat-down, and has as many kids as she has teeth: 6. That’...

Hello everyone. I come to you with a heavy heart today, as I’ve learned of the loss of my great grandmother and family matriarch, Marion Hawkins. She’s been a great influence to me and many others; I actually named the fictional university in my novel “Homecoming” after her last name. You were a truly remarkable woman, and I pray that all that were touched by your spirit continue to display your teachings. Steven Q Urkel may have overdone it, but the brother cared. Today I chronicle my days as a bachelor. While a number of brothers enjoy the freedom and multitude of dating options, this guy prefers dating exclusively. The trust and consistent companionship are great, and the partnership aspect inspires me. As a result, I do my best writing in a relationship. Recently, however, my single status is intact, despite my best attempts to break free  J . My original hypothesis for my “singularity” was that, in comparison to many men my women of interest have dat...

Hola, amigos; hope you all had fun, productive weekends, and that you got enough rest to get through the week. I got the chance to travel to one of my places, Washington, DC, and visit some family. Shout out to all my DC fam: Grandma Andrews, Aunt Peggy, Aunt Wanda, Serina and Glenn, and all my Hawkins, Carter, and Green crew. Also much love to my Skins fans and my girl Sharita aka Lois Lane. Now to the Bizness like Lil Wayne’s producer…In addition to visiting DC, the weekend also presented the opportunity to fellowship at one my lesser-known hot spots: Church. Now before you start “hating”, I want you to look at church a little deeper. Church offers many of the same thrills that we get from the club: Beautiful women (many of the same girls you danced with on Saturday), hot beats, (Kanye’s drum machine can’t hang with Pastor Marshall’s kids on the drums and organ), and a chance for to everyone to see you looking good. Shoot, I started wearing my skinny ties on Sundays. More important...
