WTF Moment of the Day
I'm not even going to get in to where I've been all this time, but let me just say I've been hella busy and I still am. I just happened to come across this article while doing some research for work.
Teen injected with HIV by dad
http://www.kxxv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10487368
Associated Press - June 5, 2009 6:13 PM ET
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) - Brryan (BRY'-uhn) Jackson has defied the odds
for people infected with HIV.
He's the St. Charles County, Mo., boy whose father secretly injected
him with HIV-positive blood when he was 11 months old.
Brryan eventually developed full blown AIDS and was not expected to
live. He also was taunted and shunned for years by people who knew his
story.
But tomorrow, Brryan, who's 18, will graduate from Francis Howell
North High School in St. Charles County. And after years of shying
away from publicity, he's stepping up his public speaking about
fighting the stigma of AIDS.
Jackson must take medication daily, but less of it than he used to.
He says he's been able to forgive his father, Brian Stewart, who
remains in prison after being convicted of assault 11 years ago.
Can you believe THAT shit!?!? Who the fuck does that??? Who injects their kid with HIV? Whatever the case I just had to share. Now I'm going back to work. I'll try to get back to the regular updates next week.

What's Goin' Down May 28, 2009
Sorry I been away for a while yall, I'm recovering from my trip to New Jersey/New York, but I'm back with some news for yall. VIDEOS! Peep this.
Sexy Spectacular's Grind Contest
I'm sure yall heard about this. If you read the comments on the video, people talkin bout dude is gay. Well uh...YEAH! If you got the word "spectacular" in your name or any version thereof ie "spec" then yeah, it's pretty safe to assume you robbin the ass. But this dude posted a video on Youtube challenging R&B singers to a "grind-off". Check the video below and see what everybody's talkin about.
Keri Hilson May Be The Female R. Kelly
And I'm a huge fan of R. Kelly. And I'm a big fan of Keri Hilson. I guess it all makes sense. She did a performance recently that showed her more freaky side. A lot of people say she skeeted out now, but I ain't the type to go callin female entertainers sluts because of their stage performances. All I'll say is now I'm more amped to see a Keri Hilson concert lol! But check the video below. You might wanna skip to about 2 minutes in.
Chris Brown "I'm not a monster"
Man, I don't really give a shit about this dude, but apparently somebody does cuz he still calls himself making music. In this vid, he's apparently working on a new album and is dropping a single in the summer. Okay. The vid is mad short, oh and he got Bow Wow with him for some reason. I don't know man. It might just be me, but Bow Wow just annoys the hell out of me for some reason. He got a solo video too. I mean really tho, is Bow Wow still relevant? I ain't tryna hate on dude or nothin, but I genuinely wonder "why is this dude still around?" I mean really, what was his last hit single? Anyway, check both vids below.

Box Office Bout Round 3
This weekend was an exciting weekend at the box office. The holiday weekend helped rake in some moviegoers. In a surprise turn of events that I TOTALLY overlooked, Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian entered the battle and dominated making $53 million while Terminator Salvation came in second with $43 million. However, my predicitions weren't fully off. Star Trek managed to outmatch Angels & Demons this week by a narrow million-dollar margin making $22 million in its third week. And X-Men Origins: Wolverine got beat this week by Dance Flick. It's safe to say Wolverine will be on DVD within a couple months or so at this point.
I saw both Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum over the weekend. I liked Terminator Salvation better only because I was in the mood for some hardcore action this weekend, but Night at the Museum was definitely cool and had me rolling at some parts of the movie. Both movies were good and I'd recommend them both. But if you follow the box office bouts from the beginning you'll see I totally overlooked the kids' movie coming out this weekend and everybody knows those kids movies CRUSH the box office everytime.
With that said, round four of the box office bouts will be between this week's winner Night at the Musuem: Battle of the Smithsonian and Pixar's Up! Pixar is known for taking the box office by storm and this movie is said to be one of the best ever. I'm going to see it myself but I'm gonna act like I'm doing my niece a favor lol!
Box Office Bouts Round 4
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian VS Up!

Best Year In Modern Music History
I was reading an article in Vibe Magazine recently about how 1998 was the last good year for hip-hop and R&B. I didn't really give it any thought, but when I got to work and went looking for music to add to my workout playlist I got this feeling to just see what all 1998 had to offer. Oh my god 1998 had like the longest string of bomb ass releases than any other year within the past 20 years.

A Post About Rick Ross
I couldn't even think of a clever title for this post so I just call it what it is. I'm making my rounds on the net and came across this little article about Rick Ross's latest video shoot. It always amazes me when rappers rap about bullshit like money, cars, clothes, and hoes and then turn around and have some mildly thought-provoking shit to say. But then when you call them on the bullshit they rap about they get all offended. The dichotomy is fascinating. For instance, Rick Ross.
Rick Ross raps about being a cocaine kingpin. Dude even said in a song that Manuel Noriega owed him "a hundred favors." Yet, he got aired as being a correctional officer in his days before he apparently started "pushing major weight" and getting FBI Most Wanted list druglords in his back pocket. Of course Rick Ross says that all the pictures and documents of him being a CO are fabricated and falsified.
But then Rick Ross turns around, in this interview, and goes in to the more conscientous side of being a druglord. Really? Really Rick Ross? The video he was shooting was for a video called "Rich Off Cocaine" where all he talks about is all the shit he buys with his cocaine money. But in the midst of all 48 bars he spits in the song, there are TWO that actually have a hint of humanity and suddenly he wants to be "Mr. Introspective". Basically, it amazes me how rappers can present themselves one way, which is generally not the way they really are, and then just kinda do and say whatever the fuck they want and get away with it.
Sorry if you read all that. I should've warned you it was a rant that was going absolutely nowhere lol! But it made you think though, right?
More WTFs of the Day
I'm just carousing the internet and these WTF stories just keep popping up. Check out these I came across:
Not the Jack Rabbit...the Jackhammer
This is crazy! A female construction worker in Arndale, Oklahoma got spotted by her neighbor a few weeks ago in her driveway doing some questionable activity. What say is that activity? She was buck-ed-naked in her driveway using a jackhammer as a dildo!!! Needless to say, she died. But there is more to the story. She also ran a prostitution ring out of her home and was a sex toy distributor. Crazy huh? That sounds like a movie just waiting to be made. Read more about it here
The Cool Dad
What better time for a father and son to bond than over picking up hookers? A 48-year-old father took his 15-year-old son to the red light district in London to pick up a hooker to lose virginity to. They rolled down the street and the son had to make his pick. And who did the son pick out of all the hookers in London? The undercover cop!!! LOL! Epic failure! Check out the story here
Keep Your Eyes On the Road
This story was God saying "this is what you get for having an affair with your secretary." So this boss and his secretary were having an affair. They were driving in the car. Well he was driving and she was..."working overtime". And the car crashes. The result? The secretary bit off her boss's penis!!! Now tell me Karma ain't a bitch! LOL! The story is over here
Safety Goggles Won't Protect You From This
This story is actually pretty tragic, but a man that was working in his front yard cutting down a tree with a chainsaw. When his wife stepped outside, he swung the chainsaw around and it hit her in the neck. She died. What's real fucked up, aside from the obvious, is the husband having to live with an accident like that for the rest of his life. How do you get passed that, you know? You can read more about it here
Titillating Tuesday!!!
Hey Young World it's the second day of the week and here at the Black Box Daily we call that Titillating Tuesday!!! Get your oogle on!
Meet Jewel Santini
You'll be hard pressed to find any information on jewel, but most of yall don't read this stuff anyway so enjoy! Check her out!
