Song of the Day – ‘Mad Men Theme’
The story of the Midwestern boy who grew into the stylish, handsome man with a healthy appetite for beautiful women and self destruction comes to a satisfying conclusion this spring! What’s that? Oh what a nice coincidence! I’m also told the final season of Mad Men starts this Sunday! Have a great weekend gang!
Song of the Day – ‘Me and Mrs. Jones’
On a weekend where my car decided to break down on me twice (or as we call it Los Angeles, ‘a death sentence’), one positive was I finally stumbled myself into one of our all jazz and blues stations. Soundtrack of my life these days. I see you Cal State Long Beach!!! Enjoy!
Redemption Song 2015
I don’t assume anymore when I fall asleep that God is going to wake me up. That single train of thought is why I’ve shifted to making a more conscious effort into leaving all of my interactions with positive karma (or at worst, if I’m indifferent about you, I’ll just leave you to live your […]
Here and Now
For me personally, the greatest benefit to being old (so far) is the end of overthinking. There’s a big difference between a) analyzing all the options and taking action and b) being paralyzed by all the possibilities and letting ‘the Moment’ pass you by. So, for whatever name you give to it, the process of […]
‘Straight Outta Compton’
In all likelihood, the next time you see me on the big screen… Very happy to get ‘be directed by F. Gary Gray’ off my bucket list last year. I don’t know how you guys outside the West Coast are reacting to this, but I can tell you, here in L.A., this film can’t open […]
Another Part of Me
Harmony. That’s how I’ll remember 2014. Maybe I was just due for a good year, but truth be told, 90 percent of my stress over the past 12 months could really be called sympathy/empathy at things going on in the world around me. On a personal level, it feels like I’ve taken a huge […]
Crossroads
Life changes coming these last nine weeks of 2014. Some completely planned for, some things I probably can’t completely see yet but can only prepare for. I have no complaints really other than being forced to stretch out the limitations of my patience. The ‘Untitled 2014 Malik Aziz Project’ is on schedule (and actually […]
Hooray for Hollywood!
And so this week is the first but not definitely not the last week that will be full of movie reviews in this space. Interesting part of being around as long as I’ve been around: I’m a proud voting member of the guild I belong to, then I have friends who have projects out […]
Do Or Do Not…
Actor. Writer. Director. Producer. End of Production Day. Shot in Culver City, CA by Nathan Richardson. (Also, let me shout out the Rock and Roots of Fight, because, a black and gold Muhammad Ali training shirt had to be the most predictable swagger jack/impulse purchase of my life.) (Coming Soon…)
