Peace and blessings family,

I am the Perkdaddy and I welcome you to my place on Black Planet. I am a dynamic go getter pursuing my dream of becoming a successful writer. My first book is a collection of erotic short stories called Satisfied: Bedtime Stories for the Grown and Sexy. It's a wonderful read full of beautiful black people loving each other and taking ordinary situations to extraordinary sexual heights. If you're looking for thugged out brothers calling women the B word and the same old ghetto fairy tales this is not the book for you. If however, you are looking for a book to curl up with on a cold winter night or a story to read to that special someone, then grab a copy when it drops in February of 2009. For now, check out the story Bondage I have posted in the blog section. Or go to my Myspace page at www.myspace.com/eroticgriot.

To tell you a little about myself, I'm a romantic, down to earth, Afro centric brother who is strong enough to lead, but humble enough to ask for directions. I like to bowl, shoot pool, cook, play/watch sports (Yankees and Knicks are my teams), travel, read and play chess.

I'm just as comfortable in a $1,000 tux at a black tie affair as I am in jeans and sweatshirt at the family cookout. I like nights out on the town as well as movies and popcorn at home on the couch with that special someone. I love going to comedy clubs, listening to live music (especially jazz and reggae), and attending cultural events. (Gotta love my people!)

Feel free to drop me a note or sign my guestbook. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

A little about my frat.......

The story of Alpha Phi Alpha is one that is often told but never goes out of style. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. was founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University. Seven young black men, after much trial and tribulation saw their dream of a fraternal brotherhood realized on this day. These dynamic black men were Henry A. Callis, Charles H. Chapman, George B. Kelly, Eugene K. Jones, Nathaniel A. Murry, Robert H. Ogel, Vertner W. Tandy. Collectively, they are known as the "Jewels" of our great fraternity.

Alpha Phi Alpha was founded on the principals of intellectual excellence, service to society, and brotherhood.

Alpha is an African centered organization. Our symbols, the Sphinx, and the pyramid come from Egypt (Khmet). Ours is the only fraternity to incorporate such Afro-centric symbols into our shield and ritual.

One will often hear anAlpha man speak of being first. This is not empty boasting, but heart felt pride in an organization that for one hundred years has been at the forefront of social change in America. Aside from being the first African American Greek lettered organization, Alpha Phi Alpha was the first to integrate its` membership in 1945. This was a bold step. At the time, overt racism, lynching, and Jim Crow were still facts of daily life for many Black people in this country. By integrating the brotherhood, Alpha Phi Alpha proved to the world that people of different ethnic backgrounds could work together in peace.

Our community service programs,"Go To High School-Go to College" and "Project Alpha" have lead the fight against school drop out and teenage pregnancy among our youth. Our voter`s registration program, "A Voteless People is a Hopeless People" continues to encourage African-Americans to exercise their right to vote in a free democracy.

Understand also that Alpha History is Black History. Bro. W.E.B. DuBois started the Niagara Movement which lead to the founding of the NAACP. Jewel Brother Eugene K. Jones helped found the National Urban League and served as it`s National Director for many years. Jewel Brother Vertner W. Tandy was the first black registered architect in the United States. He was also the first black officer in the New York State National Guard. Bro. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott when Ms. Rosa Parks, a beautiful and dedicated soror of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. refused to relinquish her seat on a bus to a white man.

For one hundred years, Alpha Phi Alpha has answered the call to leadership. In all walks of life and at all times in it`s history, Alpha men have set the standard for excellence and service. As America moves into the 21st century, Alpha Phi Alpha will be there to lead, teach, and excel.
