I think about the dreams of mine that have come true over the last few years and I am appreciative. I published a written work, I wrote a book on black fatherhood that I will be publishing as an eBook in the coming weeks, I am Executive Director of a non-profit that I started and [...]
I've been thinking about reviews lately. I like doing reviews. Part of the reason is that I do them with Dev's input so it gives us a chance to hang out and talk about random products and cool movies. It also gives s a chance for us to work on his critical thinking skills because [...]
Every year around this time I say something about my personal hero, Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. This year is no exception. Of all the people I admire and respect in this world he is the one who has stayed consistent. Of course part of the reason for this is that his greatness has remained [...]
With the Christmas holiday season starting earlier and earlier each year it's getting increasingly challenging to get into Halloween spirit. The other day I went to my favorite local variety store to grab some Halloween creepiness for the house and what I found was quite amusing. My decorations section was filled with the joy of [...]
My faithful readers know that I almost never do giveaways. I only do them for things that I find to be cool and I usually make you do something annoying to get the prize. This time is no different! I think owning this DVD is a great opportunity to open up the discussion of real [...]
It's a new year and a new me! Um, not quite. I'm the same old me (and getting older apparently). I'm ok with that, since I made it to another year intact. I've been busy working on great projects behind the scenes and planning for 2010. Throughout the year I'm hoping to roll out [...]
The world moves too fast for my liking sometimes. Not that I can't keep up, I can thank you very much, but more that I like having a second or two for analysis. At the office you have to be able to do both and in general I can do that too (though I prefer [...]
Since the beginning of October I have been listening to Christmas music. All kinds too - from Country and Metal to Soul and Hip-Hop and everything in between. It's really absurd and now that I see the words in black and white, it's also embarrassing. I need an ugly sweater and some felt reindeer antlers [...]
I've been a Bob Marley fan since the weekend in my teens when I visited my brother at the University of Pennsylvania and discovered that he had the Reggae master's full library on CD. I was mesmerized - it was some of the best music I'd ever heard. So when I found out that there [...]
...At least not for kids. Sure this post is a little late in the sense that the film "Notorious" came out over a month ago, but the theme for the post is timely: children attending rated R movies. I lived in Bedford-Stuvesant when B.I.G. did. I've always been vocal about being a fan of the [...]
