A few days ago, while I was at the summer love picnic in Brooklyn, a few adults decided to have a relay race. Immediately, I thought of childhood. In our neighborhood, you got respect for being able to run the fastest and so relay races was the opportunity to “come up”. But relay races was […]

So Im teaching myself piano these days. Learned a few songs. Thought I’ll share a couple. I think it will force me to learn new ones.

So I met a few of my friends at a Beach in Queens a couple of nights ago around midnight. I had never quite been on a beach at night before. It felt great to be the only group of people there. It was peaceful. The water sung to me. The stars smiled at me. […]

Yesterday we celebrated Michael Jackson’s Birthday here in Brooklyn. Thanks to Spike Lee, Thousands of New Yorkers headed to prospect park for a day of dancing, dancing, picnic-ing, and more dancing. It was HOT but we had a great time. Al Sharpton was there. Impersonators were there and Snoop Dog was there and performed Gin […]

So I’m back from Vacation. I went to Martha’s Vineyard for 7 days and definitely got the rest that I needed. A few months ago I was talking to my best bud, Jason Reynolds. We were talking about how usual vacations are just another word for work in a different state with a beach. You […]

I had a great time at the Musuem of Natural History this week. Like, it was really so very awesome. Really! Dont judge me!

Love him or hate him, this guy (kanye west) is so passionate about His art and about art in general that it is absolutely contagious!

I went to the New York Liberty, Washington Mystics game this weekend with one of my buds at Madison Square Garden. The Liberty Won. We had a blast. I think I will go more often. I think you should too. A WNBA game night is pretty good entertainment.  If you dont believe me, ask Obama or […]

I saw this written on a mailbox in Long Island City Yesterday. I’m pretty sure this is illegal, federally. Either or, the words are priceless.

Last year I attended the She’s So Dope Show in Williamsburg and had a blast. This year I decided to return to the fundraiser to view lovely art, hear awesome music, chat with friends, hear some great performances, but most importantly to take a stand against violence. This time it was held in Bed-stuy, Brooklyn. […]

Saturday I enjoyed the work and persona of two of my favorite artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. (View this post for Proof of my obsession.) The Film Forum in New York City has a new awesome documentary that I once blogged about here called Radiant Child. Every show has been sold out so the theatre […]

 
I have a new article that I recently wrote for BustedHalo.com called “Outsiders For Christ: An Open Letter to Anne Rice”. For those who do not know, famous novelist, Anne Rice, has just announced that she is leaving Christianity and the reasons why. My article is a response to that decision.
It is not only a […]

Just Chilling, people watching, and enjoying the hot hot hot sun before seeing “Inception”.

Played a group game of Taboo this weekend. Of course, my team won. 28-24. I love the game and what it does to people. Taboo always brings about laughter probably because of the pressure to guess, to use ones mind within a particular time frame, the buzzer threat that’s beside your ear, and the ability […]

Pictured above is my 2010 summer school class full of 20 brilliant students. For 8 weeks (4 days a week), I challenged them to think critically and introduced them to some awesome theological, philosophical, political, and literary work. I hope it was as good for them as it was for me. They in turn, gave […]

My good talented bud Paris, took some pictures of a group of us one day in the park when we didnt know it. Here are a couple of them of me doing what I hope I do best: talk and listen.
