What do Daddy Do?

WHAT DO DADDY DO???


    I can only tell you what my Dad was/did for me. I grew up with my Mom & my Dad in the same house (R. I. P. Mom & Dad) along with all of my Brothers & Sisters (5 Sisters & 3 Brothers)... My dad went to work Monday thru Friday (at his regular job in the city) 3 in the morning to 6 or 7 in the evening... We were so excited when Dad came in from work because he would bring home some cakes and candies at times for everybody (He worked in the Vending machine business)!!!
    When he got home his hellos' was the greatest part of our night!!! We would run to him with open arms and sometimes we overwhelmed him with it (it was 9 of us okay!!!). He would give us our treats then make his way to his room aka his "office". There he would run his home business (he had his own airline ticket selling business for our people in Honduras and some that lived here in the U.S.).
    He also had a New York Honduras Soccer team that he coached... Basically, my Dad was always busy making shit happen so that we can live a comfy life as well as be happy like he was. My Dad enjoyed living and didn't allow no one to interrupt that for him. My Dad was loved by people everywhere!!! He didn't have time to sit and talk with us as much as he would want to but it didn't really bother us as much because we had a dope ass Mom but this is about Daddy!!! Love you Mom!!!
   Okay, back to Daddy or Papi as we called him... When I was young, that's all I knew about him was that he went to work and brought home treats!!! Yummy!!! In my teen years, I learnt that he went to work and took care of/paid all of the bills and brought us clothes, food and stuff!!! Super Cool Dad!!! When I got into my twenties is when my Mom started telling more of what he did especially the things that bothered her (my Mom was the Best!!! She spoke to me as often as every night about a lot of things.... She & I was the Best of Friends!!!) yeah, I'm a mommas boy!!! I still miss her...
        



    I am a Dad now!!! I have 4 daughters & a Wife!!! My Wife grew up without her Dad... There's constantly a discussion on what does Daddy do and so on... huh... I, like my Father, run my own business and like my Father, at times, I don't have time to do a lot of "Family" fun things with her and our kids so.... you know... I wrote this blog to try to help someone else that struggles with "What Daddies Do"... or something like that. I do want to do more for my children than what my Father did for us so I try to make time for "Family" time but my profession(s) isn't paying me as frequently as needed to afford to take breaks as much as I would like. It will soon though!!! That's all... I'm being the best Dad/Husband I can be!!!


I hope this blog helps someone that may be wondering "What does Daddy do".

Be great!!! :D

Manny Pacquiao Speedbag With Floyd Mayweather's Face on It

I guess it's on now???

click the pic for original post.

Today's the first day since his self-imposed media blackout that Manny Pacquiao will be around to speak to reporters again. As part of his scheduled media day, he'll be available at Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, where a new piece of equipment is hanging in his training space: a speedbag painted withFloyd Mayeather's face on it. Rather bizarrely​, Robert Shapiro, the attorney who beat O.J. Simpson's murder charge in 1995, presented the gift to Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach at the gym:

Exclusive: Mumia Abu-Jamal Releases New Prison Radio Commentary on Walter Scott Shooting



Imprisoned journalist and former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal has spoken out from a prison infirmary about the police killing of Walter Scott in South Carolina. Abu-Jamal, who is seriously ill at SCI Mahanoy, rose from his infirmary bed to record the commentary after a fellow prisoner wheeled in a TV so he could watch coverage of the shooting. In a Democracy Now! exclusive, we air an excerpt from Abu-Jamal’s Prison Radio commentary about Michael Slager, the now-fired police officer who shot Scott during a traffic stop. "Is he a punk? A predator?" Abu-Jamal asks. "Or what Huey P. Newton called 'a pig'?" Abu-Jamal’s supporters say he remains severely ill after he was hospitalized recently for diabetic shock. Today his supporters have called a national day of action with protests in 10 cities to demand he be allowed to see a diabetes specialist. Abu-Jamal is in prison for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, but has always maintained his innocence. Amnesty International has found he was deprived of a fair trial.





Made in China: Why You Shouldn’t Eat Tilapia!


Made in China: Why You Shouldn’t Eat Tilapia!

There is a major rise in the United States in the popularity of cheap seafood from abroad.  While there is nothing wrong with some smoked salmon produced in Norway, other types of fish that enter the country are not as healthy as people believe them to be.  One of the biggest growing sales of fish in the US belongs to fish like tilapia, basa and swai.  With cheap price tags this fish seems like a great deal, but there may be more to it.

The first issue with these fish is how they are produced.  Tilapia, basa and swai are all fresh water fish.  Tilapia variants can be found in fresh water bodies throughout the world.  Basa and swai on the other hand are found in the Mekong River in Vietnam.  All of these fish variants have very small wild caught industries, but they are used primarily for local markets at their point of origin.  The majority of exported fish of these variants comes from commercial farming in South East Asia, primarily from nations like China, Vietnam and the Philippines.  All of these fish are mass-produced in crowded aquaculture tanks and are fed soy-based foods, if they are lucky.  Being bottom feeders and filter feeders these fish will consume any waste or contaminants that enter the water, and I mean anything.  I am going to let your imagination take over for that one.  In order to keep the fish alive until harvest they are continuously fed antibiotics in order to thwart off disease that can kill the entire stock.  Sure there is organic production of tilapia in the US, but it consists of less than 1% of all tilapia sold in the US.  It is also nearly impossible to recognize US produced tilapia unless properly labeled as such.

Watch What Happens Inside Your Stomach When You Eat Instant Noodles?




Instant noodles are a popular go-to lunch or dinner for those who are strapped for time (or cash), like college students. While you probably don’t consider them a health food, you may think they’re not that bad, or, at least, not as bad as eating a burger and fries or a fast-food burrito.
In a first-of-its-kind experiment, however, Dr. Braden Kuo of Massachusetts General Hospital may make you reconsider your love of instant noodles (assuming you have one).
He used a pill-sized camera to see what happens inside your stomach and digestive tract after you eat ramen noodles, one common type of instant noodles. The results were astonishing…

Is it Healthy to Have S*x During Menstruation?

Is it Healthy to Have S*x During Menstruation?

 2
Having sex on your period is absolutely safe. The myth that it’s dangerous originates largely from religious texts. Many people wrongly believed that women were “dirty” or “unclean” while menstruating, and for this reason, contact with menstruating women was limited or forbidden entirely. In fact, some religions still adhere to these practices; however, medically and secularly speaking, there is no reason not to have sex on your period.
In fact, sex while you are menstruating can help ease the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Many women say that orgasms can ease their cramps and the orgasmic contractions of the uterus offer a soothing internal massage. Also, orgasms release endorphins, natural painkillers and mood enhancers, which can help soothe the cramps, headaches, mild depression, and irritability sometimes associated with periods. Many women enjoy sex more when they are menstruating because of increased feelings of fullness in the pelvic and genital areas, which offer a head start on arousal.
There is one caveat, though: Safe sex is even more crucial during your period. Your risks of sexually transmitted diseases and infections are higher than normal during this time because the cervix opens to allow blood to pass through. Unfortunately, this creates the perfect pathway for bacteria to travel deep inside the pelvic cavity. You are also more likely to pass on blood-borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis to a partner during your period and more likely to develop yeast or bacterial infections because the vagina’s pH during menstruation is less acidic. Finally, there is still a chance that you could get pregnant during your period (unless you’re on the pill), so don’t assume it’s safe to forgo contraception.
Here are some tips to have safe, enjoyable sex during your period:
No muss, no fuss. If you are worried about staining your sheets, you can lay a towel down underneath you. You can also take things to the bathroom and have sex in the shower or the bathtub. Not only will it be a sensuous and exciting change from the norm, but it will also help to wash any blood away.
Maintain your sex appeal. Sometimes when that time of the month rolls around, all you want to do is throw on your old sweats, lie on the couch, and gorge on feel-good snacks like ice cream and brownies. Unfortunately, foods such as these will only serve to make bloating and cramps worse, and lead to lethargy that will only add to your bad mood. Instead, commit to maintaining your sex appeal during your period. Some women claim that they feel sexy and powerful during their periods, so tap into that side of yourself and go out for a night of dancing. Getting active will help to keep your mind off your cramps, and your partner won’t be able to resist your sensual moves.
Remember, your period doesn’t have to slow down your sex life!

Justin Bieber & Kendall Jenner Gettin' VERY 'Friendly' Or Totally Bangin'


Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner play by different rules than most of us -- or they're just straight up banging ... because 'just friends' don't take pics like this.
Biebs certainly loves his puppies because he spent a romantic day out near Coachella with three of his current favorites ... he posted the disgustingly cute photos with Kendall and Esther.
Check out JB's hand -- friends don't go for the waist touch, and neck sniff just for fun. In other words ... if this isn't for a magazine cover -- pretty sure they're screwing.
Or maybe just screwing with us.

How to get your music on TIDAL

How to get your music on TIDAL

APRIL 1, 2015{ NO COMMENTS }
Get your music on Tidal

CD Baby artists’ music will be available on TIDAL

You’ve probably heard a lot of talk recently about a newly launched music streaming service called TIDAL, which offers:
* high-fidelity sound quality (yes, hi-fi streaming)
* high-def music videos, and…
*  curated editorial content
Oh, and it’s also partially owed by Jay Z, who threw a launch party for TIDAL with appearances by Madonna, Alicia Keys, Kanye, and lots of other big names.
Subscribers can access TIDAL’s catalog in high-fidelity for $19.99/month. There’s also a $9.99/month tier for subscribers who don’t need the high-quality audio.
If you’re currently distributing your music to music streaming services via CD Baby, your music will also be available on TIDAL. If you’re about to sign up a new album or single, we’ll distribute it to TIDAL so your fans can access your music in high-quality streaming audio!
Note: if you look at the “delivery history” section of your CD Baby members account, you may see a TIDAL delivery date from a while back. That delivery date was actually for WiMP, which was acquired and replaced by TIDAL (which is why they may already have your music in their catalog).

NICKI MINAJ HEADLINING POST-FIGHT MEGA BASH


Nicki Minaj is cashing in on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight -- headlining a HUUUGE concert after the brawl ... with VIP packages going as high as $10,000-a-pop! 
TMZ Sports has learned ... Nicki -- along with Funkmaster Flex, Sevyn Streeter and Jeremih -- will be performing at Chateau nightclub at the Paris in Las Vegas directly following the fight. 
Tickets start at $80 ... but gets more expensive the more baller you get.
The top V.I.P. package runs about $10k and includes 10 tickets, a V.I.P. table, 4 bottles of Belvedere Vodka, 4 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose Champagne, 2 bottles of Hennessy, 24 Waters & 24 Red Bulls. 
Q Banga - All you need is 10 people to put up a stack each and the ten of you are in VIP with a bottle each plus waters & Red Bull!!! WHAT???!!!
And get this ... if you can't make it to Vegas, you can still watch the show -- because we're told it will be broadcasting via Pay-Per-View as part of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight package. 
In other words, if you order the fight ... you also get the post-fight concert. 
There are rumors that Drake will be performing too -- so far, it's not a done deal.
