eyeAsk: What does OK really stand for?
I'm in school, writing a paper, and I was about to write "ok" but then I couldn't because "ok" is not a word. We use it all the time, but what the heck does it mean and where does it come from? So i took a little break from my schoolwork and googled it. Its actually pretty interesting so ill share it with all the knowledge seekers.
"The letters,OK, stand for "oll korrect." They're the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s. Read buttressed his arguments with hundreds of citations from newspapers and other documents of the period. As far as I know his work has never been successfully challenged.
The abbreviation fad began in Boston in the summer of 1838 and spread to New York and New Orleans in 1839. The Boston newspapers began referring satirically to the local swells as OFM, "our first men," and used expressions like NG, "no go," GT, "gone to Texas," and SP, "small potatoes."
Many of the abbreviated expressions were exaggerated misspellings, a stock in trade of the humorists of the day. One predecessor of OK was OW, "oll wright," and there was also KY, "know yuse," KG, "know go," and NS, "nuff said."
Most of these acronyms enjoyed only a brief popularity. But OK was an exception, no doubt because it came in so handy. It first found its way into print in Boston in March of 1839 and soon became widespread among the hipper element."
Pretty cool huh? this is kinda like our internet lingo way back in the day! There's more to this article than just this little blurb, so read on at TheStraightDope.com

eyeWrite: The View of NYC
The View
Seems to be much different than the one I am used to in Harlem
Why you ask? It begins with the realization of what the term melting pot really means.
Out this gigantic window I can see every shade of the spectrum
Looking at each face I can imagine their struggle, their plight, their past that led them here
New York City
Midtown to be exact.
A place often traveled, yet rarely understood.
By whom? by those who live so close, but yet exist so far.
Within minutes of the best blend one could ever experience

The heart beat of New York City - the pulse one might say.
I was introduced to it through curiosity many years ago,
Coupled with the desire to see beyond the "Welcome to Dyckman Houses" sign
Not wanting to be like those whom I witnessed at the same place at the same time, doing the same things; which for intents and purposes - is nothing.
Nothing, such a mundane terminology, yet complex at the same time.
Is it possible to be dually achieving nothing and something at the same time?
Ask my physical, most would say you're not doing anything in particular you're just riding the bus.
However, keen eyes can see something.
My eyes see something.
I see, the heartbeat of New York City.

Mussitate
\ MUHS-i-teyt \ , verb;
To silently move the lips in simulation of audible speech.
How can you use this word? Here's an example: As the weekend came to an end and the couple had to part ways - Kayla saw her boyfriend mussitate the words "I love you" as he waved goodbye to her on the train.
Read it. Define it. USE IT!

eyeApplaud: 106 N Park
In 2000, BET premiered its first #1 rated live show, “106 N Park”. Not only was it a safe haven for teens everywhere, but it also served as a place for music artists, movie stars, and icons alike to call home.
The original hosts, AJ & Free made us laugh and we recognized their chemistry from day one. We couldn’t wait for Free to show off another pair of fly shoes, and I don’t know about you, but I respected AJ’s boldness to rock those locks in every episode!
We were saddened when they left, and cheered on Big Tigger and Julissa when they attempted to take over. We voted continuously for the next hosts, and brought Terrence J & Rocsi to victory.
Ten years later, after Ciara’s first performance, the thousands of screaming fans for heartthrobs like Bow Wow and Chris Brown, and 100s of countdowns later, 106 N Park still leads another generation of youngsters in Black Entertainment Television.
Have a favorite 106 N Park memory?
Drop a Buzz!
P.S.- THE SHOW IS ON NOW!

eyeInspire: Fight the Good Fight
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.” -1 Peter 4:12–13, NIV
It’s one thing to know that you’re going into a challenging season. You get prepared for it. You get mentally ready. But what about the difficulties that we don’t see coming? The unexpected crisis that catches us off-guard? Sometimes, it can seem so overwhelming that it almost knocks the wind right out of us.
The Scripture says that we shouldn’t be surprised by fiery trials. That’s because the forces of darkness would not be fighting against you if they didn’t know that God has something amazing in your future! Sometimes, those unexpected difficulties are just a sign that you’re on the right track. It’s always darkest just before the dawn appears. The enemy always fights the hardest when you are closest to your breakthrough. The key is to stay the course and keep fighting the good fight of faith. Keep your joy and keep declaring God’s Word over your future. God has promised that you will overcome every obstacle. You will defeat every enemy, and right now, I declare that you will fulfill your destiny in Jesus’ name!
Here's a prayer for today: Father God, thank You for walking with me in every season of life. Today, I cast all of my cares on You. I cast all of my difficulties, all of my questions, and all of my concerns. Thank You for working all things out for my good. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
