When I was very young ... starting at three years old up through the time I had finished Kindergarten and then continuing on though my elementary school days, and fiinally reaching far into the early days of my young adulthood ... I had a wonderful black friend.  This relationship continued until his death while I attended my second year of college. His name was Andrew and loved him with all my heart.

Andrew worked many years for my parents.  He drove our family car and gardened for my family. My mother and Andrew even kept a wonderful vegetable garden for many years.  He never married.  He was a lone man and rarely took a day off to see his own family and I cannot remember ever of him having a visitor of any kind. He was always with us and a part of our family for more than several wonderful decades. He is rock in my memory.

He was the kindest man I have ever known.  He was a large man and very muscular. His coloring was very black, that deep beautiful color of black of which there is no other match to be found in nature, maybe velvet.

The feeling that I had and continue to have for Andrew, still affects me and those feelings are more like a father mixed with being my very best friend. He accepted me exactly the way I was, and required no change. The last time I saw Andrew, which remains a vivid memory, was while I was a college student, and that unfortunately was the time of his death.

My father, hardly ever home and always consumed with his work, was often gone somewhere. But Andrew was there and he often played my father's role. Years later, I learned that my mother really didn't know where my father was either. She knew what his work entailed to some extend and she accepted that. But she never talked of those times, which must have been lonely for her, until much later, during her twenty or more years of being a widow.

My father paid little attention to me, never read a book to me, never let me sit on his lap, never told…

How many off you like the muscle guys with Tattoos? Do you think that it distracts from their looks and their muscle?

And what about when they get older and their skin looses its elasticity?

Some times people have tattoos for a reason i.e. to remember a loved one or to commemorate an important event. But some times you see guys covered in them. Know I know that in the past these people have circus attractions, and we don't want to go back to that lame mentatlity.

  So please comment and lets hear your thoughts.

After the passionate night Quincy and me had, we slept so good that we woke up a little late but luckily we didn't stay too far from campus. I got up and went to use the bathroom and when I came back in the room to get Quincy up, what did I see...one MASSIVE piece of morning wood forming a big tent under the covers. He must've been dreaming about last night and I could really understand why. He made me wake up with a big smile on my face and, if it wasn't for the sake of time, I would've put one on his this morning as well.

So I go over to him, kisses him on his soft, luscious lips and said, "Time to get up we're running a little behind." He slowly opened his gorgeous eyes, looked at me and said "MAN that was one intense night we had wasn't it?" then I replied "I'll say. I never experienced ANYTHING that special ." As Quincy was getting out of bed, he stood up, stretched, then looked down to see his surprisingly morning wood bulging way out. He said "WHOA!!" and I was like "Yeah I said the same thing when I came back from the bathroom. If we wasn't pressed for time, you know I'd take care of that for ya" He stood there laughing and was like "I know we'll do something later on this evening." and I said "Oh you know it my man but we better get cleaned up and on our way to class."

We went and took our showers, got dressed, grabbed our backpacks and was on our way to class. Surprisingly it wasn't as cold as it was yesterday so we didn't need our heavy coats just something a little lighter. We finally arrived at campus but today we had different classes so I told Quincy, "I'll see you after class and we can go grab some lunch." He said "Aight cool"

Right as we were about to go our separate ways, I grabbed Quincy by the arm and said "Hey watch out…

WOW THANKS I LOVE THIS SITE

First to everyone, this is a fictional story involving me and Quincy Winklaar. Try not to take it too serious but let your imagination run wild and imagine that you are there.

So it was around the middle of September when the first day of classes was starting and it was a pretty cold day, as if winter was setting in early. I'm, Lorenzo Wakefield, going around campus trying to find my class for that day. I stand around 6' even, smooth milk chocolate skin tone, mustache and goatee, had a nice slender, toned build, had a small athletic build around 180lbs, and a low fade. 

I found my class and it was pretty much full except one seat around the middle of the class. I know I was disturbing the class trying to find a seat and then I saw someone raised their hand and motioned me in their direction letting me know there was a seat right beside him. I quickly went over there and sat down because I had enough eyes on me as it was. The instructor was handing out the syllabus to the class and after they were all passed out, the instructor had phone call, so had said he'll be right back and stepped out of the class for a minute.

When he stepped out, the class started to mingle to get to know one another, I started talking to the sexy caramel colored brotha beside me and said "Thanks for the seat. That was more eyes and attention than I needed for one day." He started laughing, and he has such a sexy smile and laugh, clean white teeth, nicely groomed goatee and a thin mustache, wore small studded earrings and had a low-even type of hair cut with waves. This brotha DEFINITELY took care of himself. He replied "Anytime man. I didn't think the class would get THIS full." I said "I know right. By the way my name is Lorenzo" as I extend my hand out to shake his. Then he introduced himself, "Nice to meet ya Lorenzo, my name is Quincy" and his hand met mine as we…

I am a ex-gymnast so I have always been in shape (flexible & well-defined). However, I have always been small too, even though I lift weights about five times a week. Are there are SERIOUS tips anyone can give me on how to add on weight (mass)?

A complete fast is designed to free enzymes normally occupied with digestion. Our objective in a complete fast is to free enzymes so that they can heal the body and repair damaged internal organs.

The term “complete fast” is used here to mean no food except air, sun and water. A complete fast will shut down the digestive system and allow the body to redirect enzymes needed to repair internal organs. This is an amazing experience for the mind, the body and the spirit.

Digestion is a demanding process on the body’s resources. It is further exacerbated by the fact that almost all the foods we ingest are dead and have no live enzymes to facilitate digestion. Therefore your body must use its own enzymes to digest the organic material you have piled into your stomach.

Eating live food such as fresh produce requires no internal body enzymes because whole food is alive and carries its own digestive enzymes. Cooking fresh produce of course kills the enzymes.

When you fast, all the enzymes your body would normally use for digestion are diverted to other more productive activity, like rebuilding your liver cells or removing cancerous materials from your lymphatic system or just slowing down the aging process.

It is in this spirit that BBM will do a three day fast for the MLK weekend and invites all members to join either physically or in spirit. We will begin at 12AM Friday and end 12AM Monday (72 hours).

For those new to fasting we offer the following recommendations:

• If this is your first fast you might want to do a one day complete fast (24 hours) or do a two or three day liquid fast (no solid foods) instead; if you choose a…

So who have a bodybuilder they really enjoy or maybe, like me, obsessed with lol? Mine is Quincy Winklaar. I never heard of this sexy brotha but when I saw someone post some pics of his massive and well built legs (which I have a weakness for just look at the name lol), I KNEW I had to see more and check out more pics of him. If u check my profile now, you'll see just HOW much I'm feeling Quincy now lol.

So my fellow BBM members, whose your favorite bodybuilder or even athlete?
