Muhammad Ali with members of the Dream Team after receiving the replacement for the boxing gold medal he won in 1960. Ali threw his 1960 gold medal in the Ohio River after he had been refused service at a restaurant in Louisville. He believed that it had no value if it couldn’t get him, or any other black/African American person, service in a whites’ restaurant. He was presented with this replacement during the half-time period of the U.S vs. Yugoslavia basketball match in the 1996 Atlanta summer Olympics.

"So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do."

so it’s all game? really? If that’s the case a lot of y’all are slacking. I can’t tell you the last time I got a love letter. Not one of those, I’m sorry I want you back letters. Or those let me put together a garbage poem letters. No, I true and authentic love letter.
As a lover of words, one time devourer of literature, and complete romantic the generation that I am a part of disappointed me. The quest has become to get the drawls by any means necessary and the heart of the woman is considered collateral damage.
What happened to seeking love and making an effort to make love. Not the physical kind, but the kind the requires work to conjure? Chemistry is great but it’s not enough. All the colonge, cars, and clothes in the world are not enough. What happened to trying to be a part of a relationship that God would be happy with. That your ancestors would smile and think, now that there is beautiful?
