Texting/Calling The Morning After? The Proper Protocol



Okay, we've all done this before in our lives. If not, shame on you. You know, the "infamous" morning after text/call. Usually after some type of sexual relations have went down the night before, but what does this mean? Some of us may get confused and by us I mean, GUYS, because we are the ones who are usually left with the decision to text or call the next day.

From the get go, let me say that the next time you contact your partner/jumpoff/person you just had sex with,
it SHOULD NOT be a text. I know we live in the textual world at the moment and some of us LIVE off texting but please don't send a text as your NEXT REACH OUT. It's LOW. Very low I must say. A phone call goes a long way in this day and age, especially since the guy she just left was probably an habitual texter also.
Is it needed? Of course it is and don't give the excuse that you just didn't know when to send it, or it slipped your mind because you were busy doing other things. Nah, not buying it. You weren't busy when she texted you back last night and told you to come over, so don't be "busy" the day after.

But what does it mean and when is the perfect time to hit her up the next day? I mean, I don't want to feel like a pyshco or tooo pressed. Don't worry I got ya!



The very first PHONE CALL you should make should be when you make it home. Call them to let you know that you made it, because I'm pretty sure when you left your spot, you told her,

The Social Network Soundtrack



Remember that Rocky theme song, Eye of the Tiger, the one that got you so amped? Made you think you were invisible? Yeah that one. It use to be my favorite pick me upper/motivator but now, it has been replaced with a few tracks from 'The Social Network' Soundtrack.

If you follow me on twitter, you know I watch this movie faithfully, almost two to three times a week. It's more than just a movie. It's a blueprint. It's a documentary of a BILLIONAIRE. Yes, I know the way he went about starting Facebook was dirty as can be but still, this is the world we live in.

This guy created Facebook. In his dorm room. Valued at 800 Million Dollars and climbing. If this isn't a success story, I don't know what is.

After watching a few times, the music form the movie kept replaying in my head. It became hard to get rid of, so I went looking for the Soundtrack and came across Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the two behind all the music from the movie. Amazing if you ask me. Also cheap too. For $5.00 you can digitally download the entire 19 tracks.

This is my NEW motivational music!

Christina Milian Covers Latina Magazine


Whether you agree with me or not, I still think Christina Milian is one of the hottest women in the industry to this day. Sure she had a few run-ins, set backs, and got cheated on a few times by someone who should have never got the chance to be with her in the first place but hey, THAT'S ALL WOMEN.

Well this month, she covers Latina magazine and also gives us a little insight on the events that ended her marriage. Check below for the behind the scenes footage of her shoot with Latina.



Why Betting On The Super Bowl Is A Win/Win: For Raven Fans



When the betting lines for the Super Bowl were released after last weeks AFC/NFC Championship games, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The Packers were FAVORED to win by 3 1/2. This really threw me for a loop, I couldn't figure it out. The Steelers have won 6 Super Bowl titles in their history. It was Rotheisburger against Aaron Rodgers. Then it hit me, SO WHAT!! This is the best betting opportunity ever as a Ravens fan!! Let me explain.



As you can see above, with a picture taken earlier, the odds have changed by a point, so you need to make it happen soon if you want to take advantage of this! As much as we, Raven fans, hate Pittsburgh, we have the chance to BET WITH THEM to Win the Super Bowl. If they end up winning the game, WE WIN MONEY. If Pittsburgh loses, well yeah you lose your money but so what, THEY LOSE. Isn't that what EVERY RAVEN FAN wants?!

So, that's it. Take advantage of this opportunity before the lines change and start to favor Pitt. Paying for PITT to lose is WORTH IT, trust me!

February: The Easiest Month To Begin A Relationship

Jason: Nigga, February, before Valentines, is the EASIEST chance you'll ever have to holla at a female you like. Trust me!

Brian: Ah hell, here you go with this shit again. Why is that?

J: Just think about it. What's the hardest part of trying to get at a chick you might be feeling? What's your biggest obstacle when you trying to holla for the first time?

B: Shiiiid, I dunno. For me, I'm always wondering what I'm going to say to her first.

J: Exaaactttlllyyy!! That's why before Valentine's is the best time to approach em nigga. All that "coming up with slick line" shit, it's out the door. All you have to say is, "Will you be my Valentine?" Nigga, that's the only line that works from kids up to old heads I'm telling ya.

B: Geettt the fuuuck outta hereeee... Man all these hoes dun heard that too many times. They hear it every year. Don't you think they get tired of it?!

J: If they do, then that's that. You move on. But that question right there will let you know if you're in there or not. Cause a broad just wont say yeah and not mean it. If she says NO, then that means she either has a man, or two, she's not interested. You win on both accords because if she would have said yes and had either or the two, she just woulda been playing you.

B: Yeah and I prolly would knocked that bitch out!

J: Chillll.. But on the real tho, if she says Yes, then it's up to you to take it from there. To plan the date. You have to do everything you can to make her feel like she was right on picking you to be her Valentine because like you said, females get asked this shit every year, so if she's single this year, that just means that nigga from last year didn't make the cut.

Hmmmm. Just a conversation between homies, whadda you think?

Nominate Candice Nicole for "Best PR"



If at any time there was a person MORE deserving of receiving an award in the Public Relations department, it would be at this moment, and Candice Nicole would most definitely be that person. Stemming back to 2008, when I first joined twitter, her work ethic has only gotten stronger as I've watched and studied her drive over the last few years.

Anyone in this area (DC/Maryland/Virginia), and many others, can vouch for her in every aspect of what it takes to be a strong, business driven, independent young lady. Never taking a day off, Candi embodies what we all wish to achieve in our daily life. As one of her followers on multiple social sites, I see her battle the ups and downs of this industry we are in but always bouncing back stronger and better than ever.

Now is the time to show our appreciation to one of the best and HONEST (which means more than anything these days) PRs we know. I need you to visit Elite DC Awards and nominate Candice Nicole as Best PR. It also would be helpful if you passed this message along to those you may know as well.
Even without the award, she still will be placed on top of my list as PRs in the game, but I would love to see her win, it would be a great start to this new year.


Let's make this happen!!

Thanks for everything,

Freddie

back to what's important...

This new social web world we living in is slowly killing one of the most vital parts of the human species as we know it. That is the feeling to care. Throughout the day, whether through email, facebook, twitter, or however you interact with people you've never met, there's thousands of jokes, quotes, riddles, even deaths, that we read about, hold our attention for a moment, and then as fast as it came, it slowly goes away. That's the world we now live in. Every thing is so fast paced. It's not about what's happening now, it's about what will happen next. How will this person respond? What will we do after this happens?

Twitter has been one of the mose highly successful social sites ever. I agree I was one who became addicted to posting tweets and reading about the lives of others. I often see on twitter, whether it's breaking news or from whoever, that someone has died. It happens. Someone posts it. Someone retweets it. Everyone shares their respect and a week later, it's forgotten.
Earlier tonight, I went onto Facebook to see my cousin had wrote, "RIP uncle Warren." Uncle Warren was that uncle whom everyone loved. He taught everyone in the family how to swim. Over the past few years he'd been diagnosed with cancer. I read the post on the wall, saw a few people "liked" the comment. What's even worse is that in the comment section, another cousin of mine had wrote that our OTHER cousin, Mark, had died the same day as well!! That's two deaths I've read about in 5 minutes.

Before leaving out to work, I commented on his post. As I was walking down the steps to my truck, I sent out a tweet saying basically, I'm out, be back later, family issues whatever. This still had not hit me yet. I started to think why is that? He was one of my closest uncles. His son and I were best friends growing up, spent every summer together. Why am I not bawling my eyes out on the way to work?? I got a little teary-eyed but that was it!

I think it's just the way we've become. Unless it's immediate family, I don't get that same feeling anymore. Of course when I go to the funeral, I'll be in all tears seeing my cousin and aunt lower him into the ground but what about after. How could I just move on from this so quickly?
With that being said, I'm leaving twtter for a good minute. I've realized that you have to live every second, every minute, as it's your last and at this moment I don't think sending out tweets are doing anything for my life at all.

From this point on, I want to appreciate the loved ones I have left. I talk to people on twitter that I haven't even met more than I send my brother a "hello" text. It's gotten ridiculous. I also know I have real friends on twitter as well. Some of them have even done things that some of my family members probably wouldn't have done but I'm sure they will understand.

I just need to get back to what's important and at this moment, what's most important can't be made to fit in 140 characters.

I wish you all the best,
Freddie
