So I just finished watching the 1st installment of CNN’s “Black In America” & I must say that I was dead on in my previously mentioned assumption, well maybe kinda. Initially I thought I would learn nothing new but a few hours later I actually learned: If I died tomorrow & came back as a Black man in DC, I would not fuck any damn body. There is a lot of AIDS/HIV up in that bitch. 80% of newly

I told myself yesterday that I would not post any photos from my garden but I have to sell myself out because things were looking good in the backyard. So forgive me for my bloom time excitement.

Omarosa may be an egotistical mofo that many love to hate, but she is no where near as hit up as Wendy Williams. I cannot believe that Wendy is denying a nose job, who does she think she's fooling. Well I guess it does not matter because with or without rhinoplasty, she is tore up from the floor up.

Saturday while out & about, my boo called & said she spotted some pretty Oriental lilies on $5 clearance at Wal-Mart (of all places). She said there were some red & some pink ones but that was all she knew. I said sure get me whatever & that would be cool. Later, I got home & saw these awesome Dwarf Oriental lilies & I was so geeked. Today after I got home from a BO campaign mtg, I changed

If anyone else emails me about watching CNN’s “Black In America” program I am going to snap!!! To date, I got 14 messages about watching the program & then last week I was contacted by a PR firm asking me to put something on my blog to promote the special & guess what, I’m not. I am not getting paid & there is nothing in it for me, so fuck that. While I am interested in the program, I also

So I finally was able to get a ticket today to see Batman: “The Dark Knight”.  I was going to take Sade because she liked the last Batman (“Batman Returns”) movie but when it was time to go, she said no & I am happy that she did.   “The Dark Knight” is not a kids movie by any means!!!!!! The newest installment of the Batman franchise is no joke and blows the lid off of the other releases on

What do the 3 light skinneded “characters” in the image on the right all have in common? They all got caught up in hot dick & nuts & ultimately got fucked over in the end!!! Watching & reading the local Detroit news for the last few months has been a dramatic rollercoaster filled with juicy sexy details, scandal, verbal bitch slaps & lawsuits. Over the last few weeks details of a sludge removal

Last Saturday I celebrated my 9th wedding anniversary with my boo.  Usually we take a trip to celebrate our love out of town but this year it was not an option because my best friend Brion (BFB) got married on our special date (weird coincident). Ever since BFB told me the wedding date I bitched at him about how he fucked up my vacation plan & that he owes me.  And he always basically said fuck

Chicory is such an easy plant to hate because a) it is considered a weed here b) the body & foliage of the plant is hideous but the wonderful blue bloom that it produces more than makes up for its shortcomings. And no, this was not taken in my backyard!

Over the last week, I have been itching to post about some topical issues ranging from the downfall of the light ‘skinneded’ Negro woman (at least in Detroit), to a church prayer jump off, to my fight at my local apple store, which lead to me getting a free iPhone upgrade. Well I am still itching to talk about the above & more but in reality, I am itching physically because of the ass load of

A few weeks ago Boo Boo started kinderdance at the rec center.  She says that she likes it but on parent watch day she clamed up & did not perform with the other kids.  She was not the worst offender of the little dancer wannabees.  There were a few cry babies calling for their mama, a few doing their own dance & a few who were making it happen. It was kinda funny watch her in the middle of

My post title is dedicated to the man that taught me who to appreciate many forms of music and it is inspired by Earth Wind & Fire’s song "Keep You Head to the Sky” from their "Head to the Sky" album 1973. “Master told me one day I’d find peace in every way But in search for the clue Wrong things I was bound to do Keep my head to the sky For the clouds to tell me why As I grew, and with

Why I’m not getting the new iPhone 3g: I’m brokeI would have to sign another 2 year contractI would be forced to get the new 3g service plan, which is 10 dollars more & 5 bucks if you want a minimum pf 200 text messages.  So with both, that brings the data package to 35 bucks on top of your minute planThe only difference in the new iPhone vs the old is GPS capability & that is not something that

Taken from an interview amongst friends: Bygbaby: Do you know the nation anthem, can you sing it? Tafari: I do not know the words but I can hum along if pressed Bygbaby: Do you the Black national anthem, can you sing it Tafari: Ummm, yeah!  I know it by heart & can sing it at a moments notice Bygbaby: Do your kids know either of these anthems?

My friend & co-worker surprised me today with a nice big bag of sweet basil picked from her herb garden.  When I saw it, I got excited & shouted PESTO (in my head)! As soon as I got home, I pull out my pine nuts, olive oil & garlic. Before you know it, I was in business with one of my favorite flexible condiments. We of course use it on pasta but we also use it in chicken salad, rice, stir

FUCK JESSE JACKSON!!!!! Just thought I would say that out loud. He needs to shut the fuck up & mind his own damn business & take care of that bastard child he has running around. Maybe his wife should have cut his nuts off after the world found out that he likes to share them. Why is he... Nevermind fuck it!

Last Friday Sade & I hung out for the day for some brother/sister ("Brother/Sister" is my favorite Brand New Heavies Album!) time.  We started with that voter registration drive that I mentioned below.  After the voter registration piece, we did a little lunch & then decided to go to the movies to see “Hancock”.  After seeing previews of “Hancock” I was not all that thrilled to see it but Sade

I am too tired for self portraits these day. Actually, Iam just always tired. Anyway, as I mentioned before taking self portraits is a drag. So my new strategy to get photos of myself is to teach the ladies how to use my camera & teach them photography without teaching them. I got my boo to take this image the other day & coached her on how to focus manually with my new Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AI-S

After not doing a food post for well over a month, I seem to be back with a vengeance with my Bygbaby Cooks post. I hope my domestic side is not boring you to death because I’m having fun working on recipes, tweaking old one & getting bigger in the process. I do enjoy mixing cocktails & experimenting with fruits juices & liquors. I test a lot of my recipes out on friends when we have parties

There are many words that can be used to describe me but patriotic is not one of them.  Although I am an American, I feel like this country’s machine is not out for my best interest as a Black man.  With that said the 4th of July means nothing to me other than new outfit, BBQ sauce stained fingers, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, corn stuck between my teeth, & ambrosia salad. Although the

I used to wear gardening gloves all the time when working in my gardens.  I used to hate having dirt embedded in my finger prints & stuck under my nails.  Over the past few summers, I stopped wear gloves because I wanted to be closer to the earth, I wanted to understand it, feel it anoint it with my green thumb.  The only time not wearing gloves has a draw back is when I get splinters from mulch.

While downtown Ann Arbor yesterday, I decided to stop into Cake Nouveau to have a look around. As soon as I opened the door, I was taken over by the aroma of delicious baked goodies. I walked up to the counter after noticing the fabulous looking cupcakes & just about lost my mind. 5 minutes & 25 dollars later, I was out the door of my own cupcakes (4 blueberries 'n cream, 4 chocolate black

It’s the 4th of July (wow, I’m excited, no, not really) & it’s time for potato salad!!!  I know we all love our moms or grandmom’s mustard potato salad with eggs (Mmmmmmmmm) but what about something new for a change.
