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.

Every first Saturday something happens very special. Black people, white people, all people come to the Brooklyn Museum to explore inside and to Party Outside. There is a Sea of People there. The Music is Fun and Awesome. The crowd is cool and positive. The moment is beautiful yet unpretentious. The memory unforgettable. And your pockets very happy because it [...]

Went to Weeksville Garden Party this weekend again with my buds. Two great artists were in full effect: Soul Man, Cameron Corvett and Organic Roots Music Singer, Valerie June. They were simply awesome. Their music was pure and entertaining and they really connected with the crowd in a unique way. Plus, I won a bet [...]

Sunday was a great day for Brooklyn. The OkayAfrica concert in prospect park which featured the Roots, Talib Kweli, Blitz the Ambassador and more was going on strong. Our bud Brandi (who was actually incognegro at the event) put us on to it, and we had a blast. Although it was a concert, we must admit, [...]

The other day around the corner from my house I walked into a “Teenage Heat Wave Street Water” fight on Stuyvesant Ave. My and other adults first reaction was to complain. But then we thought for a second. We remembered when we were teenagers during the summer. The summer was a time when water fights and [...]

On 4th of July, I decided to sleep the day away because it was 100′s of degrees and then headed out later for a nice rooftop BBQ in Brooklyn. It was a cool chill time. I met new buds, had some good veggie food, saw fireworks from queens and manhattan from our view, and just [...]

This weekend I headed to Weeksville’s Garden Party to see Cody Chestnut perform. His voice is so innocent yet strong and his band was amazing. He performed cuts from his new album, which really has some very very great songs on them. I cant wait to grab it. The garden party was also a great [...]

Thank God it is Friday. This week has been pretty cool and full of rest for me. I made a few trips into Manhattan this week and thought I’ll share some artful and interesting things I’ve seen.
