While listening to the awesome Chris Marino this morning, my ears were tickled to find out that Jaleel White will be joining Dancing With The Stars. We all know that White has more to his resumé than his role as the awkward-but-lovable teen whiz Steve Urkel from Family Matters (Gosh I miss the 90's...moving on). He's starred in other roles, ( DreamGirls, GrownUps ), written and produced a web-series, and has done voice-over work ( Our Friend, Martin). I know that he's way past this and obviously taking on other ventures, but I know for sure that I wasn't the only one who thought of this moment. I'm convinced that he won't be performing this routine, but I'm just gonna have to wait and see. Until then, I'm gonna relive my chilldhood :0).

I had a profound discussion with one of my older brothers about the ills in the game of life. My brother and I are nine years apart in age difference. He told me some things I needed to hear about people in the world. Though he is not the first one to tell me this, he had the biggest impact on me.

Depending on who I am talking to and who I'm dealing with, it can be perceived as either no big deal or a major diss. There were some other people in my life that didn't know how to treat others. They behaved in a disrespectful manner, tried to stain my ambition with their misery a

Problems in school have been around since forever ago. Teachers and parents concern themselves with school violence, especially after the Columbine Tragedy of the late 90's, Virginia Tech a few years back, and the list of unfortunate events go on (sadly). But what happens when one teacher attacks another teacher on front of students? This unforseen event occured back in December at Poughkeepsie High School. While local newspapers  were covering the stories from all angles, tweets and updates shot across the nation. Other teachers were in shock, students were traumatized, some of them even had to stop the attack. The victim (Glozier) wanted to let her students know that she was a strong person and she was recovering. The teacher who did the stabbing (Ricketts) faces 25 years if convicted of attempted murder. In recent shocking news,
