A Classmate Gone not Forgotten




I couldn't with good conscious not mention what I'm about to mention, actually I debated on it for awhile because again I didn't want to overstep my boundaries or resurface hurt for others. Well if anyone who really knows me knows that I'm truly a bleeding heart and that this is only coming from a good place, last year a former classmate of mine was laid to rest during this time of year. It shocked me because here was a guy who kept to himself, was doing the right things in life and someone decides that his life is going to end by senseless violence. It hurt me because this feeling is all to familiar in my age group and has hit close to home for me as well, even more so because I thought about a family whose holidays would be forever mournful you would have to be in humane not to want to reach out and help in some way. As I will say again the holidays are meant for giving to others, not taking especially taking something you cannot give and again this year my heart goes out to the Raines family and I wish only the most happy of holidays in-spite of the way this year started out I hope this one was of good fortune as well as the years to come.

With that being said what is your ideal first date and why….     Yeah, men can never express! And we’re expected not to have feelings so for most of my life, I didn’t, but I’ve been tapped in lately. For a first date I think it should be something very casual because the stakes shouldn’t be high. My ideal first date is something in nature like a scenic walk or a picnic. The reason is because nobody should be spending money on someone you don’t know and also it shouldn’t be somewhere loud because I think the conversation is the most important thing.  Is it ok to ask what your dating situation is like gender wise, and how do you really know if you’re attracted to that person or is it just ...

Urban Insider talks Model Behavior with Mr. Alex Dominguez of RED Models NYC

With it now being officially spring and actually feeling like it, I thought what better way to celebrate than bringing in a little model behavior. Models often showcase the best of what the average person aspires to look like, from the clothes, the height, and even their hair. We chatted with Mr. Alex Dominguez for the proper insight, and here are our results....... Tell us a little about yourself such as where you are from, age, and for those who aren't familiar what agency you are currently signed with.....
