Too Short turns 44 today
Just like the headline says, this page/board is where you can discuss the stuff that we didn’t cover in today’s issue. (It’s sort of like feedback with a twist) Remember, NO name calling, racial taunting, graphic sex talk and vulgarity in general, PLEASE.

Today’s ‘Live Better With Willie Jolley’ Tip: Creating Empowering Goals (Part 3)
Today’s ‘Live Better’ tip for Success is focused on helping you over come this challenging economy. It is taken from my new book, Turn Setbacks Into Greenbacks. Get a copy today…you’ll be glad you did!
We have been talking about the power of creating empowering goals. I have a process that I use in my coaching programs that have been very successful in helping people turbo charge their goals. First, I ask them to write their ‘‘Giving Goals. Next, I ask them to write their ‘‘Getting Goals.’’ What do you need to get—in order to give. The next category is the ‘‘Doing Goals.’’ What must you ‘‘Do’’ in order that you can ‘‘Get’’ so that you can ‘‘Give?’’ Finally, what are your ‘‘Be Goals?’’ What must you be, so that you can do, so that you can get, so that you can give? To do something you have never done, you must become someone you have never been! I encourage you to continue to grow as you go.
Visit my website at www.williejolley.com for more information on turning your setbacks into greenbacks, and make this a great day!

When we got there, you were sitting on a green park bench and every time someone walked past, you would crack jokes on them and throw your head back laughing SUPER hard!! It was hilarious! You had everybody on the beach ROLLING!!

Good morning family. What it do?
12 – Short Dog was 44 about 5 years ago. Scarface said the other day he’s 50. I imagine them around the same age…
Hmm, Wikipedia says Scarface is only 39. I heard him say on the radio the other day he’s 50 though…
IN PANK FOLK NEWS: Sandra Bullock has adopted a baby and he’s black. The trend continues……
http://www.popeater.com/2010/04/28/sandra-bullock-adoption-divorce/
Um, Wikipedia also says Shorts birthday is Sept 28th…
I’m all kinds of confused. I know Wiki lies but none of this junk is matching up. I feel like I’m reading Media Takeout.
I wish a black celeb would adopt a white baby.
Like, send Tracy Morgan to England to adopt one of those little waifs.
UH, nobody needs be giving a kid to Tracy Morgan. That is all. Maybe Will & Jada will adopt Suri Cruise…..
SNORK!
Do you think Tracy is that weird in real life? He has a couple of kids (I think).
I’d like Dave Chappell to adopt a bunch of kids. THAT would be some funny ish.
Yogi!!!
Boo-Boo!!!! Let’s have some fun, I gave Da Ranger, Da Fanger today!!!!
MWM, you’ve been giving them the finger ALOT lately. What’s going on?
Had a visit with my Dr. Doctor my blood pressure is really up, so he told me to relieve as much stress as possibe. Thus the I don’t give a shat, you get the fanger attitude for the man at work…..
Good morning Beautiful Black People! Happy Humpday.
Yeah, Too Short has gotta be at least fiddy! He was grown as hell back in the 80s so he’s up there in age. *no offense to the 50+ crew cuz I’m right behind you!*
MWM – sounds like a plan to me. I think you need to add 30 minutes to your lunch every day. Use it to take a nap… that’ll help lower your pressure.
12 – all those rappers from the 80′s are old. That lil Melly Mel HAS to be in his 60′s.
LOL @ your dream Lovely!! Totally sounds like something I would do!
Good Morning Everyone!
Asize12, how did PD do in the elections?
Letmein, you were cracking up SUPER HARD!! Every time you laughed, you fell backwards.
>jac, she lost:-( She’s a bit discouraged cuz this makes 2 things that she has lost I told her to be encouraged and don’t let this stop her from participating in future elections. She was sad at first, but she’s ok now.
Awwww poor PD. It’s too bad she didn’t win, but it’s great that she has enough confidence and self esteem to go after things. Tell her not to stop, her day will come.
12 — tell her to keep pushing and eventually doors will open.
Jazz I had to give you some of your own medicine.
Morning black people, and the honorary lurking white
.
Too $hort might be in his mid-40s. Just looking at the album pics in his first two albums which was when he should have been 19 and 21. Seems legit.
Slenda that mofo is 56 years old easy. If not years of drug and liquor have caught up with his face.
Young “Kick-Ass” star Aaron Johnson should be spending his free time partying at the Chateau Marmont and sucking face with the starlet du jour.
Instead, the 19-year-old Hollywood newcomer is home with his pregnant fiancée — who’s old enough to be his mother.
Johnson said he doesn’t need to sow any wild oats, because he’s found true love.
“I’ve got a wonderful woman,” Johnson said recently of gal-pal director Sam Taylor-Wood, who at 43 is more than twice his age.
“She’s lovely, and she’s a fantastic mother. ”
Taylor-Wood, who is currently seven months pregnant with Johnson’s baby, met the hunky star when he was cast as the lead in her 2009 flick “Nowhere Boy,” about John Lennon’s childhood.
From the moment they met, Taylor-Wood said, she knew it was lights, camera, love.
“We had quite a psychic link,” she told The Guardian newspaper in England. “I felt that link almost from Day One of meeting him.”
Taylor-Wood, who was married to art dealer Jay Jopling until 2008, has two daughters from that union, ages 13 and 3.
Johnson says he’s now preparing for his new role — as a dad.’
“It’s not scary,” he said. “I’m already a stepdad anyway. So the nerves have sort of gone.”
Both halves of the odd couple insist they’re well-suited for each other, even if their birth certificates say otherwise.
“It’s not unusual,” Johnson told Britain’s Sunday Independent newspaper in December, just months after they hooked up.
“I’m an old soul, and she’s a young soul.”
Taylor-Wood said her views of love and life were shaped by multiple bouts with cancer.
She courageously fought colon cancer in 1997 and then staved off breast cancer three years later.
Those life-and-death battles, the moviemaker said, have helped her tune out any snickers about hooking up with a much-younger boy toy.
“Going through all the crap I’ve been through, I don’t really listen to other people’s opinions,” Taylor-Wood said.
“[I] just follow my heart and my instincts.”
Johnson also insists he doesn’t care what people think.
“People have their judgments and opinions and it’s almost like other people live by a rulebook and I don’t,” a defiant Johnson said.
“I don’t live by rules and I do what I want to do and I’m out there and I’m an outspoken presence and I go with what I feel in my heart and in my soul and travel by that, not by what other people expect.”
The couple plans to have a private wedding ceremony and haven’t given any hints of when and where the celebration will be.
Johnson said his folks have given them their blessing.
“They are really proud and supportive,” he said.
A friend of Taylor-Wood said the moviemaker couldn’t be in better spirits.
“I’m pleased for Sam, she’s really happy and she’s changed her life so radically, it’s amazing,” said artist Tracey Emin.
“It just goes to show what a year can do to someone’s life and Sam deserves all the happiness she can get.”
Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland apologized to Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick Dez Bryant on Tuesday for asking whether his mother was a prostitute during a pre-draft visit. David Wells, Bryant’s advisor, told ESPNDallas.com on Tuesday that the former Oklahoma State wide receiver was asked about his mother during a visit to the Dolphins before the NFL Draft in March. Wells and Bryant declined further comment. “My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I’m considering drafting. Sometimes that leads to asking in-depth questions,” Ireland said Tuesday in a statement released by the Dolphins. “Having said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him.” Ireland received permission from the Cowboys front office to speak with Bryant on Tuesday. Last Wednesday, Bryant told Yahoo! Sports that during one of his pre-draft visits, a high-level executive of one NFL franchise had asked him — during a extensive conversation about Bryant’s past — whether his mother, Angela, was a prostitute. “No, my mom is not a prostitute,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. “I got mad — really mad — but I didn’t show it. I got a lot of questions like that: Does she still do drugs? I sat and answered all of them.” The background of Bryant and his mother — including her lifestyle and past legal troubles — were widely reported prior to the draft. Angela was only 15 when Dez was born, and she served time in jail for selling crack cocaine.
Phoenix police are investigating an incident on a Southwest Airlines flight where a woman allegedly grabbed a child who was kicking the back of her seat in March.
James Holmes of the Phoenix Police Department said a mother is pressing charges against a 42-year-old woman who allegedly assaulted her 3-year-old boy while they were on Southwest flight 582 heading to Las Vegas at the gate of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Mar. 21 at about 7 p.m.
No arrests have been made because police are still gathering names of witnesses from Southwest Airlines, but the mother described the incident to police:
Her three-year-old son either kicked or put his feet up on the back of the woman’s seat when she turned around and grabbed him. The woman told the child, “You’re not going to be kicking my seat all the way to Las Vegas,” while she shook him and then slammed him back on the seat, the mother told police.
She and other passengers began to argue with the woman after the incident, and both parties were taken off the plane to discuss the situation.
Staff had assured her that the woman would not be allowed back on the flight, and she returned to her seats with her children, Holmes said. The woman, however, did board the same plane again, and chose to sit in the same seat over other empty seats.
During the flight, the woman harassed the family and threw garbage at them. The mother told police that the woman appeared to be intoxicated.
I’m not saying I condone snatching the child…but I understand!
Lovely loves half days!! have a good day everyone!
Asize12, sorry PD didn’t win, but I agree with YLY about her having the confidence and self-esteem to pursue what she wants.
Lovely, have a great afternoon!
My favorite song on Sade’s album is “In Another Time”; Favorite Eryka Badu track “Don’t fall in love with me”; Favorite Raheem Devaughn track..
too many to mention that 2 track CD is the freak’n truth, right now I’ll go with B.O.B. (battery operated boyfriend)….that is all! 
P.S. did everybody see that Steve Harvey SNL skit? Hilarious, it’s on utube. He looks foolish and that’s what he gets for say “fenda”
They are having a casting call for Big Brother this Friday in downtown Nashville.
Thanks ylawd & jac. PD is VERY confident and sure of herself. I’ll take some of the credit because I teach my kids to be leaders, not followers. But the rest is just her as a person. She’s really a sweetheart. Very kind, very respectful. I thank God for her, for both of my babies.
JB, are you auditioning?
Jacque I am tempted. That Steve Harvey sketch is hlariou. I have it on my facebook profile if anyone wants to see it. My only question I’d I didn’t know S Harvey was that mainstream for everyone to recognize his inability to pronounce words.
Going to a America’s Got Talent taping in Chicago today.
I can’t log in from my phone.
