3s A CROWD???
So I was talking to a girl the other day and I asked her would she do a 3some to please her man and she replied no. She said she was too selfish for that. T hat is also the case with most women if you ask them that question. But the more I talk with women, I found out it is has nothing to do with selfishness at all... it has to do with insecurity. Is it true in the back of your mind, if you had a 3some would you be worried about the alternate party being better than you? Leave your comments.... inquiring minds want to know.

IN REAL LIFE???
A British TV channel was scheduled to air a controversial documentary Wednesday night showing a terminally ill man committing assisted suicide. The film follows retired university professor Craig Ewert during the last four days of his life in 2006, when he visited a Swiss clinic with his wife, Mary, in order to die. "Right to Die: The Suicide Tourist" shows Ewert lying in a rented Zurich apartment, where an employee of the clinic prepares a lethal dose of drugs for Ewert to drink. As the camera rolls, and with his wife by his side, Craig Ewert then closes his eyes and dies.

GET JUICED
O.J. Simpson's recent 15-year jail sentence hasn't prevented him from releasing "Get Juiced," the NFL Hall of Famer's first ever rap video. O.J. Simpon's new rap video was conceived as a prank for a DVD entitled Juiced, which showcases the controversial football great performing pranks on unsuspecting victims, in the vein of Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd. Using a gangsta rap persona named MC Juice, Simpson performs the track at a strip club surrounded by numerous burlesque, nude dancers. Simpson raps over a beat similar to "I'm Serious," a 1988 classic by Philadelphia rapper Steady B., that was produced by KRS One's Boogie Down Productions. "All you player haters and you sucker MC's better get on your knees/and get some of the these/These nuts..." Simpson raps while surrounded by a harem of women. Outtakes from the video also show Simpson holding a tongue-in-cheek audition for the strippers, dressed as Elvis with a midget, working in a fast food drive-thru, dressed as an 80-year-old man playing bingo and as a cheater who gets caught with a married woman. Perhaps the most outrageous stunt features Simpson attempting to sell his infamous white Ford Bronco to unsuspecting marks, while acknowledging there are "no bodies in it" and that the SUV had "escapability." Aware that many would call this DVD tasteless in light of Simpson's legal woes, Juiced distributor and Xtreme Entertainment Group CEO Rick Mahr argues that projects like this are big business in the American market. "Juiced is America's new guilty pleasure and will have everyone talking," Mahr told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "We were shocked to see O.J. film these uncensored segments and surreal scenarios. From the moment you put Juiced in your DVD player and press play, the footage will keep you glued to your screen. You won't believe your eyes." Simpson's latest venture comes on the heels on his December 5 conviction for robbing two sport memorabilia stars at gunpoint. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison on armed kidnapping and robbery charges. Although an appeal is pending, the sentence will run concurrently if it stands, allowing Simpson to be eligible for parole after 9 years. An uncensored version of O.J. Simpson's "Get Juiced" will be featured on the Juiced comedy DVD, which is available in stores and online for $19.99 now.

An upcoming Dayton, Ohio actor who starred in Eminem's hit movie 8 Mile has been found dead of an apparent suicide, AllHipHop.com has confirmed. Actor De'Angelo Wilson, who starred as "DJ Iz" in 8 Mile, apparently hung himself on November 26, just one day before Thanksgiving. According to police, Wilson, who also had a role in the hit movie Antwone Fisher, was found dead in the back room of a Los Angeles business, although it took police a week to locate his next of kin. Once Wilson's mother was contacted, she revealed that she didn't have the funds to bring her deceased son's body back to his native home of Dayton. A group of his friends have stepped in - including the real Antwone Fisher, who befriended Wilson during the production of the movie Antwone Fisher. Wilson's most recent role was in 2006, when he starred as "Julius" in Mercy Street. He also had small roles in The Salon, CSI: NY, Outside Man and others.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Why are your co-workers trippin? Why did your significant other do that? Why did you get laid off? Why does everyone come to me with their problems? Why am I so confused? Well if you have a job, are in a relationship, are breathing, have food, have shelter, have clothing, and a spirit of ministry, then you are required to not only go through but go through in excellence! You have been given MUCH!

NATE'S KNOWLEDGE
Ok.. After careful evaluation and thought, research, and more thought, I finally have come to a conclusion about everything that's going on with the mortgage crisis... SHITS FUCKED UP! Basically what happened is people who couldn't afford shit got shit. You walk up to a broker and say gimmie a house, he says, do you have a job you say yeah I make enough to buy a house and he says ok I will help you get one. He calls a bank and says give this guy a home loan and the bank says cool. Then broker says how much you got down on the house and the homeowner says well I ain't got shit... broker says ok. Well we can get you a loan for that too, but what we will do is "adjust the interest rates of your home according to the market" or sub prime loans so that eventually we can recoup that money back from you. Now the bank ain't verified shit, and the dude making 50,000 a year living in a 350,000 home that was over priced because demand was high. And when the market was ready to collect that money homeowner wasn't ready to pay. One month he paying 800, the next he paying 3500. He like hold up you sommma bitches! I cant afford that shit, and bank say well gimmie my house back. Now that happened to a few million people so the bank said, damn... We gotta get some of this money back from all these houses. So the bank sells the unpaid loans to dude on wall street. Like I got these millions of dollars in unpaid debt and I will sell you these for a little of nothing and throw in some good loans too. The greedy wall street dude seeing that he could make a huge profit said FUCK YEAH Imma buy that shit, and then Imma sell it to everybody all around the world Craig.. the world... This whole time nobody thinking about all the rest of the homes that's out there with people who cant afford the adjustable rates because they too busy passing around IOUs back and forth but no physical money to pay for the shit. Yet they paying themselves and the people they sold the IOUs the residuals from them. But then one day, there wasn't enough money to pay on the IOUs and people got pissed. I bought this totally good IOU but I ain't got paid! What the fuck is up with that shit? Gimmie my money man... then wall street like, well i ain't got yo money because a lot of people didn't pay on they house and shit got forclosed and nobody paying that shit off so leave me the fuck alone, go tell homeowner to give you yo money... So the dude wall street sold to said, ok well I'm selling all this shit and I want my money back dick weed...then wall street calling the bank like we gotta get the money back for this shit cause they over here tripping and shit, and the bank like, well we don't really have that shit. So in the end nobody got shit but everbody want they shit, so the government had to step in and give them OUR shit. But the funny thing about that is... the government aint really got shit either!!!! They out here writing checks in the name of the United States.. so everybody passing out fake money while aint shit fake about unemployment and homelessness.

But what about the chick who knows her man is selling drugs, she's reaping the benefits of his lifestyle, but as soon as he goes to jail...she's GONE!!! You all know her! Everybody knows a couple girls named Tamesha, or Antonniqua, who's boyfriend is gettin' it the streets! Its one thing if she's warned him about the repercussions of his actions , and won't except money from what he does. However, I believe if she will stash his drugs, accept money, make runs, spend some money, lie to police, and buy her mama some shit with his drug money she should be right there with him through his sentence!!! If I were the guy, I'd snitch on her ass and say she was my partner!!! What yall think?

JAIL HOUSE ROCK
So, in my many ghetto escapades I've encountered countless women who have dated men while they were incarcerated... This is by far one of the strangest and most naive situations I've ever seen. There's no physical contact, and the woman is deprived of the very thing that keeps her heart beating... ATTENTION!!! I know I'll catch it for that statement, but its true! Show me a woman who doesn't like attention from her man, and I'll show you a lying, cheatin', sneaky whore that's sleeping around! I'm just serious... but really, what makes a woman stay with a man thats serving a long prison term... and don't give me that LOVE shit either! In the many words of women across the world "Whats Love Got To Do With It!!!"

TUESDAY'S INSPIRATIONAL WORD
Hebrews 12:14-15 (NIV) Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. So you may be bitter right now. You may even be angry. Are you hoping that someone fails? Are you hoping that they don't recover...they don't find their way back? I know that you might say, "of course not!" There are times when our spirits say one thing but our actions say another. Don't turn away from others. Regardless to what they have said or done, YOU will be held accountable for what you do. Remember, ANOTHER'S ACTIONS WILL NEVER JUSTIFY YOUR SIN! Think about it.

NOW SERVING #...
T.I. TAKES THE STAND... SNITCHING???
So T.I. took the stand to testify in the murder of his best friend Philant Johnson stemming from a shooting in 2006 in Ohio. In the video he takes the stand and gives his account of the shooting as it happened. Now there are so many accusations by people who may say that T.I.P. <<< (I call him that cause I been a fan) is a snitch. These accusations come from him being caught with all those guns and already being a convicted felon and only getting sentenced to a year in prison. They say he had to tell on someone to get that type of reduced time. Now they are accusing him of snitching by taking the stand in the murder trial of his best friend! WTF is wrong with people? Snitching? People take this "g code" shit too far. The man's best friend was killed, and you expect him not to say what he saw? That's bullshit! They showed him pics of his best friend's dead body while he was on the stand and niggas call him a snitch? The whole snitching things derives from the Mobster lifestyle and if anybody has done their homework, the code clearly states "you don't rat on your friends"! People are sayin because he's a "street dude" he should handle it like a "street dude". Man he has kids, a family, and a career to worry about! What do yall think? Snitching or Not???
HOW MUCH WOULD IT TAKE???

NOBODY DID ANYTHING???
A Miami teenager straight up killed himself on the Internet in a live stream and nobody did a thing. The boy, 19 years old, took a bunch of pills as people watched or egged him on. The kid was a college student that suffered from bi-polar disorder and eventually took all his pills and some sleeping pills at one time. The deadly cocktail ended his life. He appeared to go to sleep on his bed. Eventually, people realized it wasn't a joke and contacted the website. The only thing is, that took about 12 hours. When police did arrive, the boy was still streaming live from the house…dead. Some didn't take him seriously, because he had threatened suicide in the past and didn't do it. Needless to say, the family is furious and looking for answers. This maY be an instance where there are going have a hard time getting closure.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the point he was trying to make, but terrible use of a reference. You want to be a racist white dude, who went through a depression, spent months locked in a room, no shower, o'ding on pain meds and sleeping pills, and die on a toilet! Word son??? I mean I understand he has a lot to deal with after the death of his mother is this is probably all aftermath of that. I'm not judging the man, but this is where a concerned fan steps in. Ye was like a super hero to me! He did the impossible. When he got his Roc chain, here, in Chicago, they booed him and he still reps home like he had all the support in the word. Ye gives me so much inspiration, but as of lately he hasn't been himself. I mean I knew when I seen the Jeezy video for "Put On" and he didn't even look into the camera. Man where are the people close to him? They need to step in and try to talk with him. The nigga had a "fro-hawk" and said he wants an internship for design and do music on weekends! WTF!!!!!
Man... Ye, GLC, Reallydoe... somebody if you read this, get this to Ye.. Tell him to get a haircut, shave, stop wearing the Pee Wee Herman suits, loosen up the jeans a lil, lace up his Air Yeezy's and come back to Chicago!!!! Don't let this wreck you homeboy!!! We believe in you!!!

(You gotta know when to hold em...)
Mark 5:36 (NLT)
But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."
For years we have been encouraged by our teachers and parents to stay focused and pay attention. I believe in the importance of focusing and being attentive but the reality is...some of us need to work on not paying attention! Many of us suffer because we pay attention to the wrong things. Part of lifes' lesson is to know when and when not to. There are many things out there that are meant to distract you and take your attention. You don't have to respond to everything. Trust the one who will never leave you nor forsake you. Have a wonderful weekend!
Amen

Fla. man faces charge after allegedly hitting his girlfriend with a sandwich in the car
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) _ A man faces a domestic battery charge after allegedly hitting his girlfriend with a sandwich as she was driving on Interstate 95 on Friday. Police said the 19-year-old man became angry and hit the woman in the arm and face with a sandwich, knocking her glasses off.
The victim nearly lost control of the car because she couldn't see the road and the man then allegedly ripped off the rear-view mirror and used it to shatter the windshield.
The man was freed on $7,500 bail.
Police haven't said what type of sandwich was involved

BYRD'S WORD
Let Go and Let God... possibly the greatest notion ever, but not the easiest thing to do. Once you understand, grasp, and apply this notion, your life will become easier. It is natural for us as humans to want to take control and handle all situations as they come to us, but some things are bigger than us and were not meant to be our problems. Thus, a test by God, he wants to know if we trust him enough to be able to let go and let him handle it. I practiced this notion before with a very tragic situation in my life... I laid down my burden before him, and when I did it, it was gone, for good. I didn't feel the pain nor the pressure and I am actually able to talk to the person who crossed me without anger or malice intent in my heart. So to all of you, because we all have problems, when its too much for you, kneel before him, lay your burden down, ask God to take it away, trust him to do so, and put your faith in him. This will make your life easier, bring you closer to God, and ultimately make you a better person!

I WAS THINKIN
We've been hearing about J-Hud and her family for a few days now, and although it's tragic and real sad, this whole thing raised an eyebrow...or McCain's thumb...I mean this all could have been prevented--that is if William Balfour is the killer. Knowing of his history, why would Julia Hudson marry a man fresh out of jail and have him around her child? This might be mean of me to say, sorry for being superficial, but...dude...you married an ex con...why would you be with some1 like that when you have a child. I kno...peoplechange..they find God or Allah or whatever...but I would be a little more cautious, you could never be too sure, you know? I can see if it's just you...but you have a kid that needs extra protection, because if something were to happen to that child...your life is over... I mean how irresponsible can you be? His mother, Michele Balfour told reporters, "I didn't raise no murderer. He was not a child abductor.They have the wrong person." I would believe her but *newsflash* he is being held for violating his parole on a 1999 conviction for attempted murder and vehicular hijacking, and he served 7 years in prison. I know if I ever had children and for some reason I was single and looking for a new boo, I would be looking through a fine tooth comb...*sigh* I'm spent....What do ya'll think?

ANYTIME ANYONE DIES IT HURTS THE SAME
It's a shame what happened to Jennifer Hudson's mother brother and nephew over the weekend and our prayers and thoughts go out to her and her family but during this incident it made me question our state of mind regarding celebrities. Is it not a tragedy anytime any ones mother or family member dies or gets killed? Do the families of people that are not related to celebrities hurt any less? I am not trying to take anything away from Jennifer Hudson's family at all but in the grand scheme of things isn't my family just as important in my eyes as hers is in her eyes? Does she value her family more than, let's say Lisa Sanders?? But because she is a celebrity I feel like we make it seem worse or our hearts go out a lil bit more b/c she is who she is. The bottom line is somebody died and we should give those same condolences to Lisa Sanders family as we do to our black celebrities.

PF3 had the pleasure of visiting an Illinois college campus this weekend and it was great, distant, boring, fun, and interesting all at the same time. But there were moments when we felt "old" lol. So with that said, when yall go back to visit schools after you are a few years older, do yall go thru that "what am I doing here" thought process??

IN REAL LIFE...
I know that every lady out there is anxiously awaiting the newest show to come to vh1 "Real Chance at Love". In case you cannot tell, I am being VERY sarcastic right now. The whole Stallionaire situation is WACK ARNOLD'S in the words of Mark Byrd.
Don't you wish you could have a Stallionaire of your own?

RAYNA REIGNS...
So, I know you've heard…Gabrielle Union and D.Wade are OFFICIAL! The ink on the divorce papers isn't even dry yet and, technically, D. Wade is still married. This brings me to the question: How soon is too soon? Yeah, we don't know the specs of what happened in this particular situation, but imagine if it were you. If you were married and your partner wanted a divorce, then 5 min later they were all over town with someone who had more money, was better looking, and just everything you couldn't be….how would you feel? How much time would you need to mend your broken heart?

REALLY...
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell had an interesting article about Rush Limbaugh and his comments about the current political election. Definitely very interesting stuff. But more importantly, It's happening... they starting to complain and cry already and Obama ain't even in office. If he wins, we might as well get ready for this kinda bs on a minutely (is that a word??) basis.

RAYNA REIGNS...
Jazmine Sullivan's "Fearless" has been on repeat in my IPOD for the past week. I must admit, when first heard her single "Need You Bad", I was thinking "who is the fake ass Lauryn Hill? No this newcomer did not come and straight swagger-jack my shero! (pre-clown makeup phase. Just pray for her…)". Anyway, I added 8 new albums to my IPOD before I hit the gym and was going to give them a listen while getting my Kanye workout plan on, but could not get off of Jazmine Sullivan!
Before Jazmine, I listened to the new J. Hud and I give her label a big thumbs down. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing talent and her label should've hooked her up with some songwriters and producers who could do more for her. I'm not sure who all contributed to the album, but watered down, unoriginal songs (except for "Spotlight") did not do anything for that powerful voice. Maybe I was expecting too much from her, but her potential is limitless!
Anyway, back to Jazmine. Just about every song is hot and the emotion in her voice is intense. The only song that she could've kept was the one about being abused. Yes, it is her true story, but it just seems forced and I kept thinking about Eve's hit she had back in the day. Long story short, you NEED to listen to her album. Period! If you've heard it, please let me know I'm not alone on this!
Neyo was alright for a third album. I was hoping he had more up-tempo tracks; ballads are just easy for him. Of course, lyrically, I gotta give him a hand clap. Honestly, he is the best songwriter out right now (maybe he should've done the whole J. Hud album because "Spotlight" is my song!). Robin Thicke's "Something New" was just that, a different type of sound than the Thicke that we're used to. And it works! The new Mint Condition is another disappointment. There are a few tracks that stayed true to their style and the songs that they were adventurous on just did not do it for me. Stick with what works! I still have Eric Benet and Raphael Saadiq (which I hear is excellent) to listen to so more on those later. So what ya'll think?

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Now I know what the immediate response to this question is going to be so I ask you to look deeper than that first answer that pops into your head when responding to this topic.
If your significant other cheats, do you automatically end it and call it quits??? I'm always interested to see what people say when asked this b/c you never truly know what you will do until you are in the situation and people forget how strong feelings are. So with that being said, do you instantly call it quits if someone cheats??
Comments please

WHAT A BIGGEDY BITCH!!! LMAO!!!
Rapper Maino (”Hi Hater”) confirms he indeed slapped the ish out of Young Berg (who I have technically banned from YBF but this ish was too funny to pass up) at a club this weekend. Basically Berg The Idiot walked up to Maino at a club the other night, said “I heard you’ve been talking reckless about me”, and actually repeated himself when Maino asked “What?” So in true NY style, Maino hauled off and slapped Berg Ike and Tina style for disrespecting him. Maino’s take?
