Picture of the Day

Billie Holiday performing “Strange Fruit” at Café Society, the first integrated nightclub in New York 1939

The song protests the lynching of Black Americans, with lyrics that compare the victims to the fruit of trees. Her 1939 rendition of this song was included in the US National Recording Registry in 2003.

She was under exclusive contract to Columbia Records at the time, and she approached them with the song…and they refused to record or publish it. Her personal producer also refused to have anything to do with recording it. They didn’t want Southern white people to boycott their label.

The Daily Man-Up

(photo: @doran_erickson)

For any guy that needs to hear this whether they are having troubles in dating or life in general. Just know that you are a trophy that is to be won as well.

Often many men will put beautiful they see/meet on a pedestal and act completely different from who they actually are, which only pushes them away. You wouldn’t change the game plan that got you to the championship, would you? Be yourself and know that you yourself are enough to shoulder your own happiness. Girlfriends aren’t meant to be your happiness, they are there to enhance it. You need to wake up everyday, look in the mirror and have the mentality of “you know what? I’m a F****** catch and anybody would be lucky to have me”.

What’s It Like To Be Knocked Out in an MMA Fight?

whats it liked to be knocked out

Interviewer: Anderson Silva, what is worse, getting knocked out in the UFC or giving 200 interviews explaining why it happened?

Silva: Getting knocked out I guess.

Interviewer: Is it worse than people asking about it? Like I’m doing again and again and again…

Silva: No no, there will always be questions. Fans, people, they want to know what happened, but being knocked out is worse because you can’t remember. There is just a blackout, and then when you wake up you’re like, “Uh? What Happened? The fight is over?” And the ref says, “Yeah, it’s over and you lost.” “But how?” Then the ref says, “you got knocked out” “BUT HOW?” The ref then answers, “You took a big shot and fell to the mat.”

The Daily Man-Up: Habits Are The Compound Interest Of Self‐Improvement.

They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.
