5 Ways To Win Over A Girl.

I was looking to create a new CD of the best R&B slowjam songs of the 90s era. I know the 80s was known for great rock. But I felt that some of the best R&B slowjams were found in the 90s. It’s hard to find great memorable slowjams today. In my search of creating [...]

Rebuilding My Social Network

Recently, I lost my 2 closest friends. One moved away and another due to extreme circumstances.
My other closer friends are now dating other people. I don’t see them much.
It took me about 2 years to rebuild what I have today- a pretty decent social network. Some are close friends, some are friends, and some are [...]
