4 Reasons Older Women Are Better Than Younger Women

Here are a few benefits of dating older women.


Older Women Want It More - While young women are nice and tight, older women do more w/ their sexuality. A woman reaches her sexual peak around the age of 30 so she’s more likely to teach you a few things, and be able to match a younger man’s hunger in the bedroom. She’ll have him doing things he’ll be embarrassed to tell his homeboys

What They Want - An older woman is more likely to accept being a “bust it baby” If you’re up front with an older female she’ll be down for anything, because she knows what she wants, if its just sex it’s just sex, if she is looking for a relationship then more than likely she’ll school him on how to get in the heads of the younger women in his life.

Sugar Mama - An older woman will take care of her man like Momma. I hear from guys all the time they their near 40 woman bought him this, or purchase that. Plus she is more likely to understand that you have to build a man, and help him achieve the goals she looks for in a man. He brings the raw talent and she’ll mold him into the soldier he was already and just hasn’t discovered yet.

Bonus - She also likes porn, finally understand his favorite sports and gives some of the best head to go along with the best home cooked meals since a man has left home.

Cooking Plate

Cooking for one can at times be obnoxious. In part because, despite the fact that it’s just you, you still use a ton of dishes. Just making eggs alone, most use a small bowl to crack the eggs into, then the frying pan and spatula, and finally the plate and silverware. A quick and easy meal turns into a heap of dishes you’re stuck dealing with later. Well this new design makes an attempt to cut down on the dishes used.

Just cook your food directly on the plate and then once it’s done, you can eat it directly on the plate itself. Which at least cuts out having to wash a frying pan. It’d also save you on the water bill, since you have less dishes to clean. It would be naive to believe that this gadget could replace the need for an oven entirely. It could cook things that you would put in a frying pan, but some foods you need more than that. It also wouldn’t work well for large families. However, it’s perfect for those that are single (and like to keep your meals simple), as well as college students. It’d also make it so you could cook directly from your desk, if you so chose.

Suffolk parents arrested, charged in baby's death

The parents of an 11-month-old girl who died last month have been arrested and charged with murder in her death.

Linwood Jones Jr. and Shawntay Jones, both 25, were arrested Monday night and charged with one count of murder each, according to a city news release.

Grand Jury indictments were sought after the Office of the Medical Examiner determined that the girl, Zanya K. Jones, died of dehydration and malnutrition because of medical and nutritional neglect, the city said.

Just before 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 1, paramedics found the girl cold and unresponsive inside a home in the 600 block of Third Ave. The home did not have running water or a working refrigerator.

The parents told police they had last checked on the child at 7 a.m.

Two other children, ages 3 and 4, were taken from the home by Child Protective Services because of unsanitary conditions.

When the parents appeared in court in December on felony abuse and neglect charges, a prosecutor said the child had not eaten in at least a day or two.

The parents are being held in the Western Tidewater Regional Jail, the city said

The Art of Choking During Sex ( Exotic Asphyxiation)

Many people believe that a lower supply of oxygen to the brain is supposed to enhance your sexual sensations and make it easier to orgasm. Maybe that’s why females like being choked so much. Sad part is many people don’t understand the pleasure they can receive from being choked. So without coming off sounding like a sicko here are 6 essentials to the art of choking during sex.


The Pseudo Choke - One of my twitter friends says “OMG!! I wish a ninja would choke me out during sex… thats creepy!” I’ll admit that when my boy told me he choked his bust it baby I was a bit freaked out, but like the inquisitive man that I am, I decided to try it with my girlfriend at the time. So during sex, while digging the LongBoy inside of her, I applied the pseudo choke, to which she replied why didn’t you choke me harder! I’ve been hooked choking women ever since.

The pseudo choke is when a man places his hand around the woman’s neck without applying any pressure or very little pressure. This provides a psychological effect during sex, because more than likely it’s going to turn her on. Just make sure she’s comfortable with you, because if it’s a jump off who you don’t really know well enough to be sleeping with in the first place it could end the sex ASAP.

Off Guard Aggressive Choke: I’m not going to pussy foot around and go in order of aggression. (pun intended) This is when right in the middle of regular aggressive, a hand is placed on her neck and she is choked very hard to the point where she can’t breathe at all. The key to this maneuver and staying off death row for murder, is to not do it for longer than 5 seconds.

The Medium Choke: This is when you apply a little bit of pressure during your choke. Enough so they feel you and long enough for them to reach up and grab your hand to let you know. An added bonus is the kiss her while your hand is around her neck. Women love kisses and this just enhances the pleasure of it all.

The Public Playful Choke: This is when you wrap your hand around her neck in public, for the whole world to see. If you lay the pipe right then she’ll know that when you two get alone it’s on and popping. It’s a more kinky way of saying “if it’s all right with you we f*cking.”

The Multi Hand Choke: This method is used most by women when they’re on top. For some reason they think it’s okay to place their hands around a guys neck. Note to the guys, no matter how soft or hard you choke a woman, if she chokes you, she’s going to choke the ish out of you.

The Choke With Assistance: Once you figured out you and your mate like exotic affixation then it might be possible to bring in some help. By help I mean a scarf or some other form a prop. Besides one of the best dates a couple can have is a trip into a sex shop. Tons of fun.

In all before you start choking, know your partner. It’s no guarantee she’s going to like it, and if she say she won’t like it, more than likely she’ll like it if it’s done right. I find the best method is to apply a little bit of pressure just so she knows you’re there, but not too much pressure where she can’t breathe. The last thing you want to do is get time for busting a nut. Choking can be a very sexy and intimate way to turn your lover on if it’s done right.

College Student Found Shot, Killed In Her Car

The 21-year-old was found parked outside the Spring Harbor Condos on Bayshore Drive but she did not live there.

A resident called police and said it looked like a woman was asleep in her car.

The Williams family said they do now know how it could have happened. “I just don’t understand. I can’t get past the point that someone would do this to her because I am trying to fathom why,” said Williams’ uncle, James Brown. “Who would treat you like trash and leave you out in the parking lot to die?”

Williams will be buried in her hometown of Seattle next week.

New Jersey man arrested for truck-stop sex with underage girl

Police say a New Jersey man had sex with a 13-year-old runaway at a St. Charles County truck stop.

Domingo Antonio, 35, of East Orange, N.J., was charged today with statutory rape and statutory sodomy.

Someone called Foristell police Sunday and said a girl was soliciting sex at Travel Centers of America, 3265 North Service Road East. When the
officer talked to Antonio and the girl, they both said they had had sex inside Antonio's truck.

Sgt. Tom Etling said the girl was a runaway from Minnesota. Her mother was on her way to St. Charles County to pick her up, he said.

Designer Vaginas - The Quest For Good PussY

Good P*ssy is visually pleasing, has a mouth watering aroma, and feels great. I know some women who know how to work it, but don’t have good p*ssy. So if you’ve been wondering what is good p*ssy, let me break it down for you.

Visually pleasing - Although we sometimes call sex bumping uglies there are a few vaginas that are down right beautiful. I know a girl who has the Lauren London of coochies. It’s so pretty, her lips are perfect, not too big not too small, and her clitoris sits on top of her vagina like the queen of Egypt on her throne. Some ladies know this and they are getting labioplasty to make their lips smaller in an effort to make it more attractive. I like nice sized lips because I can put them in my mouth and lick them. A good looking vagina is Kodak picture perfect.

The Aroma - Good coochie does not smell like water, it has a scent so amazing that you want to wear it on your face. If your water smell like coochie then you need to call your water company. I wrote a smell guide you can read by clicking here and it shouldn’t smell like flowers or fruit. I mean body sprays are cool and all but if you truly possess good vagina you don’t need anything to cover the smell of it. If any of you worked in a office before you know there are some funky women in the world. Stay fresh and you’re on your way to achieving good coochie.

It Feels Good - The best part of good p*ssy is that it feels absolutely amazing. As soon as you stick it in, you can feel the warmth of her insides, the wetness of her hole, and the walls tend to massage a man’s shaft. She doesn’t have to know how to work it, because it’s more about the feeling than what she can do with it. Now, most women get wet, but some get too wet and others don’t get wet enough. There is a preferred level of wetness. Now this has nothing to do making a woman squirt, that’s a whole other blog.

USB Lunch Box

However, that didn’t appear to be the case, and so I had to throw away a perfectly good dinner or lunch because I simply didn’t have the means to heat it up. It’s like the old cartoon where the guy is stranded on a deserted island and finds a crate of canned food, but doesn’t have a can opener.

Now, if I had the USB powered lunchbox from Thanko, all I would need to do is plug it into my laptop, insert the food, and subject it to 140 degree temperatures. No food goes to waste, and I wouldn’t have to shell out more money at an over-priced Las Vegas restaurant.

This is also a lunchbox that allows an ordinary worker to heat their lunch without using the community microwave. That is a good thing, because no one cleans that usually outdated microwave anyway.

Something tells me this USB-powered lunchbox might be a bit harder to use than your average microwave, and might take some getting used to. I’m not certain if I would even try using microwave popcorn on it, because you know that awful smell it leaves when you overcook it. Still, you can’t beat the price at about $20.

Man guilty of raping 8-year-old in Leland

A Leland man pleaded guilty Wednesday in Brunswick County Superior Court to raping an 8-year-old-girl and failing to register as a sex offender.

Marcus Golston, who is in his late 30s, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape and was sentenced to nine and a half to 12 years in prison, Assistant District Attorney Meredith Everhart said.

Golston also pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender.

He will now be required to register as a sex offender and be subject to GPS satellite monitoring for the rest of his life, Everhart said.

The incident with the child occurred in Leland from January to March in 2007.

This was not Golston's first sex offense.

He was dishonorably discharged from the military for sex offense with a girl under the age of 16 in 1996, Everhart said.

He served seven years in a military prison for that charge before moving to New Hanover County then to Brunswick County, where he failed to register as a sex offender.

"He was never on our grid," Everhart said, noting Golston lived in the area for four or five years without anyone knowing he needed to be registered as a sex offender.

Everhart said the registration allows law enforcement to monitor sex offenders.

"We can make sure that they are not in a position to be around young children," she said.

Part of the requirement for registered sex offender is that they are not allowed to have anyone under the age of 18 in their home.

The incident with the 8-year-old occurred at Golston's residence.

"Maybe it could have prevented her from being there in the first place," Everhart said.

4 Women You'll Meet On Myspace

If you have a myspace page you’ve probably had someone try to holla at you or tried to holla at someone. Fact is, meeting someone online is becoming more and more acceptable. So before you start actually replying to messages or try to holla here is a list of the type of woman you can expect to meet on myspace.


The One Line Chick
This woman doesn’t have anything on her page other than pictures and quizzes. If you decide to send her a message all you’ll get in reply is an incomplete sentence or am answer to your question if you decide to entertain her and see where her head is at she’ll continue to reply to you in short answers even if she likes you back.

Profile song - Something by Lil Boosie, Uncle Murder or a song about popping the booty, using drugs or having sex.
What to expect from her - Boring conversations via messages, email and chat, but the funny thing she may be fun to hang around in person. If you get to that level with the typed slang and one word replies.

The Cool Chick
This is the girl who is just super cool, down to earth and likes all the same things you like. She’s likely to leave her house in a scarf and flip flops and possibly uploaded pics of her making funny faces, doing something funny or just laying around the house.

Profile song - her profile song is bound to be a song that most people would like or something you never heard before bit feel I’m love with as soon as the beat drop.
What to expect from her - She will laugh with you and at you, school you to useful information and all around make you a better person.

The Single Mother

On myspace one thing you’re almost bound to meet is the single mother. Since she can’t go out on the town as much as she would like she tends to spend a lot of time on social networks. She’s probably one of the coolest females you’ll meet online. But be aware that there are different types of baby mothers. The strong mom who is doing everything she can to make sure her kids have the best life possible, the mother who is looking for someone to take her, and her kids to chuck e cheese, the broken hearted mother looking for love, and about 50 other single mother stereotypes. In a single mother you can find the love of your life, a kid you can be proud of like they were your own or you can find the biggest headache you’ll ever find.

Profile song - Lauren Hill’s Zion, Common, Jill Scott, or something else eclectic and representing her struggle. You may also hear some snap music, crunk music or Soulja Boy songs. It all depends on the type of single mother you just click on.
What to expect from her - Anything in the world. Single mothers are the most complex and diverse type of female there is. Again you may find your future wife, or you may find a woman who you hate, but just can’t shake.

Ovetto - Stylize Your Garbage

Sure it might be the most straightforward practical thing to have appeared on here for a while and possibly lacking in glamour and taste, but you still shouldn’t overlook Ovetto. The need to recycle household refuse has become ever more pressing these last few years, with the result that we’re now expected to separate our plastic, bottles, paper and glass and somehow find space for the required separate waste containers.

That’s where the egg-shaped Ovetto comes in (roughly 33 inches high and fashined from recycled polypropylene, it cleverly combines three seperate bins into one compact, ergonomic unit that’ll not only save you space and hassle, but also lend your kitchen or garage a spoonful of cute sci-fi chic into the bargain.

See Through Iron

Now here’s a design that I’m surprised we haven’t seen before: the b-Iron 715, a clothes island that’s totally transparent, allowing you to see your clothes while you’re ironing. How much sense does this make? This way, you’re able to see if everything is going alright and that you aren’t burning anything.

Of course, it all relies on it working properly. If the clear material doesn’t distribute heat evenly or clouds up with steam, well, then it’s pretty worthless. And such issues might be the reason we haven’t seen such a problem before. But hey, maybe this is just one of those ideas that took way too long to come up with. Here’s hoping.

Argument Over Memphis Woman Ends in Murder

MEMPHIS, TN – Memphis police say two people have been arrested after a man was beaten to death during an argument over a woman.

It happened Sunday, January 11, 2009, in the 4600 block of Oak Forest Way Drive in the Dogwood Trace Apartments.

Police say 28 year-old Darryl Barnes and 19 year-old Kierra Manning, also known as Kerria Crawford, have been arrested in the death of 53 year-old John Raybon Jr. Barnes has been charged with first degree murder and Manning was charged with one count of criminal responsibility for facilitation of the homicide.

Investigators say officers were called to the apartment around 7:30 Sunday morning. When they arrived at the apartment, they say they found the 53 year-old lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the two men were arguing about Barnes’ girlfriend, Kierra Manning, when the murder happened. Detectives believe the beating may have happened hours before anyone called for an ambulance. Investigators say Raybon is from Memphis and may have been visiting at the apartment.

Manning was not at the apartment when officers arrived, but she was later arrested while she was walking in the area of Knight Arnold and Winchester Roads

3 charged in stabbing of police officer

Three people were charged this morning in connection with the Monday night stabbing of a Chicago police officer on the West Side.
Harvey Bennett, 20, of the 4600 block of West Monroe Street was charged with attempted murder, Officer Laura Kubiak said.

Two other people, Patricia Pike, 21, of the same address, and Johnathan Elliot, 44, of the 11400 block of South Aberdeen Street, each were charged with aggravated battery to a peace officer for attacking the officer during the confrontation, Kubiak said.

The officer responded to a domestic disturbance call at Bennett and Pike's residence about 6:30 p.m. When the officer tried to take Bennett into custody, Bennett stabbed him in the neck with a knife, Kubiak said, adding Elliott and Pike then jumped on the officer and tried to punch him.

Ladies, Get Over Yourselves: The Good Man Confusion

The thought that all men are dogs has been genetically encoded into the brains of females all over the nation. I find it hilarious when a females states that she wants a man to prove he isn’t like all the other men, well news flash. I think you just dissed the dude who could have proved that to you. Yeah him the one who simple said Hello to you, and you walked by him and acted like you didn’t hear him. You know the one who DIDN’T scream “Well F*ck you then, you ain’t all that anyway” as you ignored his greeting.


Now I understand that there are many pussy hunting, no good, wanna be ballers out there, who have a girl and are just trying to add another notch in their belt, but if you truly want a man to prove you wrong… well maybe you just need to look for a different type of man. Maybe you should take the time to say hello in return and see where the conversation will go. I mean I swear in the words of Dave Chappelle “Chivalry is dead and women killed it.”

Now as most men are worthless, even more women are materialistic. They allow these worthless men to wow them w/ bright colors, shiny jewelry, nice cars, and gifts. All the while selling their body and soul for nice things. Just as Eve gave it all away for an apple in eden ladies of today will give their hearts away for a chance to ride in a nice car or a nice chain. It’s depressing. They don’t want a good man, good men are all around and they are being turned into dogs by women who are in love w/ an idea, image and a stereotype made famous by MTV, Tabloids and gossip columns. So what he’s not built like 50, or has money like Bill Gates, or his own jet like Jay-Z. If a man could get pussy in a box he wouldn’t have any of that shit. It’s all bait to get what men want. A WOMAN!!!

Obama’s addicted to sex…

Psychiatric Doctor believes President-elect may have sex addiction.



Before I began this blog I must state, “I report the gossip and let you decided if it’s true” because this one has some logic, but it’s even a little over board for me.



An Indonesian “alternative therapy” psychiatric doctor recently claimed that President-elect Barack Obama, like many Americans, has an “addictive personality disorder” which affects his every day living.



According to the doctor, “Mr. Obama has addictive tendencies. He’s addicted to cigarettes, he’s addicted to his Blackberry (which means he’s addicted to work) and although we don’t know what else he’s addicted to…we do know that most addictions are packaged in groups of 3″.



The doctor goes on to explain that addictive personalities usually have 3 addictions in which the person rotates throughout their lives, “They quit one addiction for a little while…then they latch on to another, then another. The cycle just continues.”



In regards to Obama’s 3rd addiction, the Doctor explained her theory, “Mr. Obama is the most attractive and powerful world leader in history of the modern world. He’s constantly meeting and shaking hands with people who would like to be intimate with him… it would be to no one’s surprise that his third addiction is sex.”



It is a well-known fact that Obama has battled a long addiction to cigarettes and campaign aids have verified his work addiction and dependency on his Blackberry, but I guess we’ll just have to let Michelle speak to the suspected “3rd addiction”. What do you think?

Smokless Cigar

Smokeless cigarettes allow for unadulterated nicotine consumption with none of the pesky, malodorous and sometimes illegal smoke. NJOY’s NROBO cigar adds a non-replenishible product to their existing line of rechargeable, refillable cigarette and cigar analogs.

For around $50, this battery-powered stogie gives users 1,500 to 1,800 puffs. The “smoke” is water vapor, so it doesn’t count as second-hand smoke. The tip lights up when activated, and seems a little bit cheesy. We’re hoping for a Jedi lightsaber-shaped version that emits caffeine next.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

Dialaphone UK has reviewed the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone which made its first appearance in the movie ‘Dark Knight’. The phone was basically launched to compete with the iPhone, it features a 3.2 inch touchscreen, 3.2 Megapixel camera, 3G, accelerometer and all the usual stuff you would expect from a high-end multimedia phone. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic may have been a long time coming, but it was worth the wait! Not only is it a very sleek looking little handset but it has a very impressive line-up of features, raising its status to the very upper levels of the midrange and challenging those above it with its more reasonable price. We’re going to see a lot of these little phones out and about and it bodes very well for 2009’s big Nokia release, the N97

Man dressed as woman robs St. Charles Avenue bank

He wore movie-star-sized sunglasses, a tan scarf around his head and a winter coat on a warm day. But his motive Saturday morning was not high fashion, it was disguise.

At about 9:20 a.m., a man dressed as a woman walked into the Capital One bank at 3540 St. Charles Ave. and handed a teller a note demanding money, according to a news release from the FBI's New Orleans office.



The man was handed an undisclosed amount of money, which he put into a black zippered portfolio, and walked out of the bank, according to the FBI.

Bank surveillance cameras captured the robbery. A photo released by the FBI shows the man wearing glasses, a headscarf and a thick coat with a fur or feathered collar. He also wore gloves with fur or feathers around the wrist and a tan calf-length skirt with black specks.

The FBI described the robber as light-skinned, between 20 and 30 years old, and between 5-foot-8 and 6 feet tall with a thin build.

The same bank was robbed in March. Police arrested Dornelius Brown, 19, in that heist, and he has a federal trial scheduled for next month

Captain of Maury football team slain in Park Place shooting

NORFOLK

When Charles Humphrey was a freshman at Maury High School, he might have run with the wrong crowd a little bit, friends said - he didn't take school too seriously and wasn't that interested in going to college.

But by his senior year, Humphrey was the one who would step in when anyone else was starting trouble, said Jamal Giddens, who played football with Humphrey for three years. Sports, he said, had turned him around. Humphrey was captain of the football team, an All-Eastern District First Team running back and co-captain of the basketball team.

"He was getting real serious about football," said Giddens, who now plays for Liberty University. "He'd say, 'Put in a good word for me at Liberty, OK?' "

That made Sunday's news harder to accept: Humphrey, 18, was fatally shot in the Park Place neighborhood early Sunday morning. Humphrey was found dead at the intersection of 34th Street and Colonial Avenue about 1 a.m. No arrests have been made, and police are investigating the shooting.

He is the sixth football player from South Hampton Roads to be injured or killed by gunfire in the past 10 months.

"He got pointed in the right direction," said his football coach, John Quinerly. "He knew he had a life, a career ahead of him."

Friends gathered at the scene of the shooting Sunday afternoon. They put up signs and wrote with markers on a nearby tree and mailbox: "RIP Lil Charles" and "Hard 2 Live, Easy 2 Die."

At 6 feet tall and 195 pounds, Humphrey scored 10 touchdowns and led the Commodores in rushing this past season with 771 yards. He was a two-way starter for Maury, at both running back and linebacker, and was headed for St. Augustine's College, a Division II school in Raleigh, N.C., to play football this fall, Quinerly said. His death left his teammates, former teammates and the community shaken, Quinerly said.

"He was a very popular kid," Maury basketball coach Jack Baker said. "Part of that was he did what he was supposed to do. He never caused any problems."

Baker said Humphrey is the first player he has coached who has been slain in his 33 years leading the team.

In March, former Lake Taylor football standout Derrius Walton and former Salem star Kevin Whaley were shot. Walton, who was outside an Arizona nightclub, died from his injuries. Whaley, who was shot outside a Virginia Beach nightclub, survived and is recovering while on football scholarship at the University of Minnesota.

In July, former Oscar Smith standout Lonnie Andrews and former Deep Creek star Donte Newsome were both shot and killed just days apart - Newsome outside a nightclub in West Virginia and Andrews in the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake. And in September, I.C. Norcom receiver Rashawn Finney died in the hospital after being shot several times at a party in Chesapeake.

Baker said the rash of violence involving young athletes from the area has just made him more determined to reach his players.

"I don't think you can just give up on the situation, or give up on the kids. They still need you," he said. "I don't know if I can do more as a coach, but maybe I can. I don't know."

Administrators have grown concerned about gang activity at Maury after a string of fights this fall, bringing in extra security officers and once moving one of Maury's football games because of worries about gang activity.

Humphrey's death on top of the other violence that's taken place this school year is "very scary," said Maury senior Tiana Jemmott, who was standing near the makeshift memorial Sunday.

"This is the fourth person I know that's died," said Markus Nolasco, also a senior at Maury.

Humphrey "is the last person you'd think this would happen to," Jemmott said.

Humphrey was well-respected by his teammates and took his sports seriously, but he still liked to joke around, friends said. Former teammate Daniel Coleman, now a freshman at Norfolk State University, remembered a time in culinary arts class last year when he was paired with Humphrey. The two of them burned their cake, Coleman said, but served it to the class anyway and called it "rotisserie."

"Me and him just laughed about it," Coleman said. "That's why it hurt me so much. I heard, and I just dropped everything and started crying."

A memorial service is planned today at 5 p.m. at Park Place Baptist Church, Colonial Avenue and 31st Street. A candlelight vigil at the intersection of 34th Street and Colonial Avenue will follow.
