Huey: So who's going to be your new unattainable female ideal now that you've dumped Jennifer Lopez? Caesar: Not sure... I mean, there's Halle Berry, Beyonce, newcomers like Claudette Ortiz... Huey: Could be a difficult choice... Caesar: Heck, I'm a free man now. Why pick only one?
At a Starbucks this afternoon, I couldn’t stop staring at a big guy with a headful of dreads, starting to turn white here and there … and a bald spot right in the middle. Luckily, his back - and bald spot - were turned; I guess my stupor would’ve caused offense.
