I don’t have as much time for video games as I used to, but over the weekend I finished the story mode of one of the few must have games for me in years: Batman: Arkham Asylum. For the uninitiated, Arkham Asylum is the ‘prison’ where the vast majority of Batman’s arch-enemies end up […]
In my short term on this rock we all call home, I’ve managed to make many friends, a few of home I call my ‘brothers’. One of those brothers is Air Force Staff Sgt. Quincy Garner, who had the honor of playing Taps at Fenway Park on Wednesday night, following the death of Senator […]
During one of my recent courtships, I was asked the ‘life’s ambition’ question. While the answer hasn’t really changed much, the method has changed slightly, and at least publicly, I’ve never acknowledged how much my religious background plays into my ‘lot in life.’ Since many of my readers come from outside my religious background, I’ll […]
The best movie I think I’ve seen so far this year was The Hurt Locker. The most entertaining movie I think I’ve seen was 500 Days of Summer. As the poster, the trailer, and the prologue all indicate, this isn’t a typical romantic comedy. ‘The Guy’ in this one (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) believes […]
I find myself going through withdrawal. There’s a physical aspect of course, getting ready for Ramadan and all. I’ve already started dropping weight just by skipping snacks and scaling down on my lunches. There’s also a withdrawal of a deeper level going on. It’s a weird feeling when you don’t love something as passionately as […]

It is a fundamental aspect of my life philosophy that we are all in the place we are meant to be in; the problems we encounter are put in our way so that we can make the decisions that shape our lives. I’ve lived quite a charmed life: I have good relationships with both of […]
The Hurt Locker is probably the best film I’ve seen so far this year. The story revolves around the three young men who make up Bravo Company, played by Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, and Jeremy Renner. The best film I’ve seen so far set in the Iraq War, Bravo Company has one primary job: […]
If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably come across ‘the Honesty Box’. Essentially it’s a little app where you post a question and people can respond to you (anonymously if they so choose). Depending on who’s asking the questions, it can get…very…interesting. Anyway now that Limitless is done, I feel I’ve addressed all the different areas […]
Originally written for Sylvester Stallone (who would take parts of the original idea to make Cobra), Beverly Hills Cop is universally agreed to be the film that made Eddie Murphy a movie star. Don’t need much more for the intro, on to the tale of the tape… Relevance: In terms of African-American ‘movie stars’ (which […]
