Hello Somebody Had A Little Horsey Named Paul Revere

Posted on 16. Dec, 2011 by loswhit in Culture

Some organizations are about the founder. Some organizations are about the cause. Hello Somebody is about the cause. Manny Martinez has quickly become one of my closest friends. The focus at which he heads after the cause is inspiring. But what I also love is that he steps out of the way to let people [...]

Women And Their Skirts – Legs Talk

Posted on 16. Dec, 2011 by loswhit in Authenticity

Some women cover it all up. Some women cover barely any of it up. Most women in between lean towards one direction or another. Ladies. Speak up. You were graced with bodies that men like. How to you gauge how much of it to show? How do you measure appropriateness in what you wear? Los

Posted on 14. Dec, 2011 by loswhit in Uncategorized

There is something satisfying about chosen permanence . You decided it. It is forever. It is visible. And there are many things in our lives that are labeled as permanent. Marriage. Tattoos. Death.

I went to the JayZ/Kanye show last night in Dallas. I’m pretty sure it was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Live.
