Ball Till Ya Fall - 01/21/08 09:47 AM
So I'm up watching TV late last night.....11:30 or later, who really knows? I catch the last half of multi-platinum rapper, Snoop Dogg's new reality show: Father'hood. I've seen the show before and I like it. To me it's both funny and interesting to see a "big-bad" rapper at home vacuuming, playing … (9 comments)

I've been waiting anxiously for the return of the athletic-inspired competition that pits mortal men and women, like you and me, versus Gladiators with bodies that make make Adonis insecure.

Buyer's needs, wants and desires....or a fat stack of cash??? Hmmm... - 01/05/08 03:51 PM
This was inspired by an awesome blog by Beth Incorvati about an issue she had at a closing table in which an agent confronted her about the co-op she had agreed to when she saw that Beth's was higher on the closing statement. As a buyer's agent it is my responsibility and duty … (3 comments)
