About a year ago, I did a screen test for the 2Pac movie. The direction was pretty straightforward: do the provided scene and do your favorite 2Pac verse. So if you ever wanted to know which of Pac’s verses spoke most directly to me: Now I’m lost and I’m weary So many tears I’m […]
I’ve been talking a lot about acting and writing as of late; today is a perfect day to let the intellectual have the floor. It’s a stereotypical joke but it was true in my family: my grandparents had the picture frame with Jesus in the center, Dr. King on one side, and JFK on […]
Your ‘weekend hype song’ comes a day early… I don’t (or shouldn’t) have to say anything about how great the Beastie Boys catalog is overall. This song and video is a top 5 from them in my opinion. And in a roundabout way it’s increasing my excitement to see Spike Jonze’ new film when […]

You were great. — Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) November 13, 2013 Thanks Mike! Enjoy: http://video.adultswim.com/youre-whole/lemonade-fishing-and-cupcakes.html
I’m slowly moving away from the love song playlist as I’m done being ‘the Writer’ for a little while. But I stumbled on this morning’s clip and had to share. I’ve mentioned in passing some of my favorite love songs I would choose for my own wedding that have already been used by other […]
