George Takei responds to fans of traditional marriage.a
One of the (many) problems with this is that those two girls are making it about them. WHEN IT’S NOT ACTUALLY ABOUT THEM.
George Takei is a living treasure.
Tattoo you
Old school is so badass.
Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”
‘Potential doesn’t have a limit. It’s like a rainbow. You can constantly keep chasing it, and you will never get to it.’While most of his peers slog through seventh grade, Stephen Stafford, 13, earns credits toward his pre-med, computer science and mathematics degrees at Morehouse College. The wide-smiling, fast-talking, classical piano-playing Lithonia resident has been labeled a “prodigy” (a term he doesn’t really like), has spoken at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and has fielded private-sector job offers – which he politely declined. CL’s interview with Stafford was cut short because he had to meet with Jermaine Dupri about filming a pilot TV show.
I started learning when I was 2 years old. My sister was 6 and she decided we were going to play school. But she was actually going to teach me things that she learned in school. She was teaching me how to count, how to add. And I caught on to that, and then my mom started teaching me. And when I started kindergarten, I was doing multiplication. And my mother said the other stuff was too easy. I was bored.
I was young at the time and I wasn’t used to repetition. Generally, when I understand something, we move on. With repetition, I’m like, “Why are we doing this when I already know it?” So then my mom decided on home school. I was able to go through the work extremely fast. And after doing that for a while, when I was 11 years old, my mom started having problems teaching me because it was algebra II. And she was having trouble with that. So I went to Morehouse. I didn’t know what the big deal was about going to Morehouse. I just knew it was the next step in my education – and I’m gonna do what my mother tells me to do. My first class there, college algebra, I got a 105 in that. The next class I took was pre-calculus and I got a 99 in that. And that was pretty much the test for whether I could stay at Morehouse. And considering the grades I got there, we decided I’d stay. And I guess you can say the rest is history.
