Chronic Absenteeism Hurts Millions Of Students
'Toddlers & Tiaras': Damitri'ana Wears 'African' National…
I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to baby names. I like the Justins, the Jenaes, the Seans, the Deenas and I especially love the Cheryls (It's one of those names that instantly bestows some level of cool upon a child at birth ... or so I've heard/completely just made up.)
But when you name your kid something like Apple or Jermajesty, sure, it's cute in the hospital delivery room ... but fast forward a couple years, it's not so cute when the little one is getting teased for it in first grade, ruffed up for lunch money because of it in middle school and sitting at home wondering why the hell you stuck 'em with such a crappy name on prom night (alone, I might add).
Generally, that's my stance on eccentric names, actually, that was my stance until I heard about one Florida State Seminole named Mister Alexander. Yes, that's Mr. Mister Alexander:
Talk about a great name. When it comes to the name game, I'm willing to give his parents points for thinking outside the box and catchy. And I'm not just saying that because Mister's over six feet tall and too big to ruff up for lunch money.
Here's hoping somewhere out there is a Missy for this Mister to hookup with and maybe even become his Mrs. Mister Alexander. (OK, I'm going to stop now.)

I guess you never watched the old Bruce Lee movie "Fist or Fury" or "Five Fingers of Death" with Jim Kelly in it. Jim's character in the movie was Mister Keyes. He said his mother wanted the white man to always have to respect him.

I know a man named Jesus, and I follow only his teachings, I do not follow the teachings of a Peter, Paul, Moses, nor a prophet. Jesus is my friend and his father wrote me a letter, and told me this is my son, with whom I am well please, listen to him and his witness John. For they are your bothers and I also am your father.
