The Lineup that's almost hotter than the past few weeks... almost.

The Lineup: July ‘11

What I can’t live without: Words With Friends. This game isn’t quite new but I finally got put on to it and its incredibly addicting.  Not sure how they don’t owe Scrabble a check but that’s for a lawyer to figure out.  This game is super competitive and if not carefully may turn your friend into an enemy.  The pic above is my boy Wiz from one of his other games.  If he dropped 112 on me, I would fight him in the street.

Go ahead, try it.

 New Horizons

Yes, that’s me in the picture above taking my 1^st golf lesson.

As recent as the last few years, I swore that I would never, ever play golf.  When "Tiger Woods" mania hit the black community in 1997, I did not hop aboard.  To me the sport was boring and for old people.  When I decided to start a business, I was told by many people that I needed to take up the game because “all the deals are made on the golf course.”  I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to play golf simply to brown nose and I would make it happen without having to grab my putter.  Yet here I am, working on my swing at the driving range and looking forward to my first round of 18.  I still feel like golf is boring, mainly for old people and I won’t be conducting business while I’m playing.  So why the change?

Getting married? Dude that's so gay.

Rainbow Power

With a 33-29 vote in the Senate and a signature from Governor Cuomo, New York became the 6^th state to legalize same-sex marriage.  Given the size and visibility of New York, this legislation is nothing short of historic.  As expected, many voiced their disapproval claiming that gay marriage tarnishes the sanctity of the institution. Whether or not you feel like marriage has to be defined as being between a man and a woman, the truth is, marriage rights extend way beyond saying “I do”.
