Yvette Bova the unsung Hero--By August H Mallory

As I begin this Story I want everyone to know that this is a story of a true and dedicated champion who has dedicated her life to the field of bodybuiling. she is none other than Yvette Bova. a veteran of the military. an a highly educated women in the sports and fitness Industry. I have come to Yvette only through the Internet, but I guess these days the Internet is how people come to know one another. I have found out in recent years many fitness professionals have gone another route to gain recognition for themselves. many have gone off into the world of Adult Entertainment, thousands upon thousands of women have ventured off into this line of work. but the mystery remains as to why women venture off into the wporld of pornography. after doing much research, people want to be recognized and known the world over. they want to make a name for themselves. and for many women, the world of pornography gives many women that needed edge.
wether it is in adult films or working in strip or nude clubs. these type of jobs do offer a very attractive amount of pay. and a lavish lifestyle. but as i look at Yvette i have to ask myself, she is well known to many, why get involved with adult films. I have been in contact with former bodybuilding competitor Rosemary Jennings and she once told me that the reasons many women retire or leave the sport of bodybuilding is because of the lack of support and the matter of being short changed when it comes to being paid. for competing in bodybuilding events. maybe this could be the reason why Yvette has retired from competitive bodybuilding. I am not one to bring race into a certain matter. but could it be that women of color are far less recognized than white women. personally I think so. but I will save that argument for the experts.
but Yvette has proven a far better competitor than most women her age, or of those who are younger. I will continue to support Yvette as a bodybuilder and fitness professional. because this is what I want to recognize her for. as for the Adult films I am not exactly the greatest fan of this. but there is the saying that sex sells. we live in a society more focused on what is morally wrong than morally right. I do want Yvette to know I do understand, however there are other ways that you could make a name for yourself. maybe become a physical education instructor or if you wanted to become a hollywood star. there are many mainstream producers to talk to. but if pornography is your thing, then that's your thing, after all you are an Adult.

The many struggles of an african american male--By August H Mallory

I write this story not just for myself, but for the many african maerican men who has had to face the prejudice and discrimination handed down to them from a very ruthless corrupt system of government and in our society. african american men are the biggest targets of violence in america. we face hatred and violence even by our own people. and for many years I have often wondered why. I learned later on in life why we as african americans in general are hated by each other. I learned about a letter that was written by a plantation owner in the 18th century known as william lynch. in his letter william gives details as to how his plan of oppression and control. will turn african americans against one another.
it is now 400 hundred years later and everything that william lynch predicted in his letter has come to pass. african americans are now killing one another at record levels. american society makes it hard for many african american men to obtain employment, therefore their only option to survival is the drug trade. and involvement in prostituion, we now live in the 21st Century and although things have changed somewhat there is still many problems. and african americans are still at risk of being left behind. as I travel across america, I still see that many, many african american men do not have employment. homelessness is still at a record high for african american men. therefore we are turning to violent crime. and this means assaults and rapes of our own people, we are taking out our anger out on our own people instead of the system that put us in this situation. we are killing each other. taking and stealing and shooting each other. in the african american community we talk about getting involved with churches and sunday school, and we try to get our children involved but this barely has any impact on our children. african american children are still growing up with hate and violence inside of them. there are more african american men with a history of violence than any ethnic group in america. and the prison incarceration rate is far higher than any ethnic group in america. we have a hardtime maintaining employment' the very reason we are not taught disipline, we are not taught how to be committed to a certain cause. the william lynch letter is the main reason today that african americans both men and womenm are having to struggle in society.

A Friend Named Christine--By August H Mallory

Last year I met a very special person by the name of Christine, a very smart, intelligent and savvy young woman, who is by far the best fitness Instructor that i have ever come across.
having only met over the Internet. I feel that we have created a very special relationship. and even though I have been taken off of her friend's link I am sure it was nothing personal. somethings often need to be re-evaluated before they can continue on. and i do understand this. I have viewed her many photographs and she is a very beautiful young woman. as we come into the year 2010 I do hope that things will last through out the entire decade. in another ten years it will be the year 2020 i do hope that our estranged friendship will strengthen over time.
as I am very confident that it will. I do want Christine to know that I am here for her.

maybe it could be that I am not much of a conversationalist, and to some people this can be a real turn off. well' this is a new day and age. it's hard to change old ways,
but you are who you are. and it's the nature of the beast they say. but even though I am very hurt by the estranged friendship between Christine and myself, I will give her some space. maybe this is what she wants, and i will allow this. Christine' please understand that what ever led to our sudden failure of communication, I do apologize,
