. . . and so we spark the YUBM blog

Yo. The kick-off. Been a minute since I thought to start this blog thing, so here we go! Been lookin' for a venue to post material relevant to the state of the Young Urban Black Male in America, as well as smaller, curious thoughts 'n observations (like those below) that that don't warrant full treatment on the YUBM Ministries Website. They all oughta flow nice in this venue. Thanks for visiting!

Got a really strange recorded message other day (despite the fact I'm on the "Do Not Call" list): "Hello. We have a really important message for you, but all our operators are busy with other customers right now..."

Strange (and rare) quietness on the busy intersection where I live -- very early in the morning. Long stretches of time with absolutely no traffic. Indeed, the streets do sleep sometimes.
