Song of the Day – ‘Another Part of Me’

Simply stated: another year, it’s been one of the best, and I wouldn’t be here living and loving the life without you.  Thank you! We’re Takin’ Over! We Have The Truth! This Is The Mission To See It Through Don’t Point Your Finger! Not Dangerous! This Is Our Planet You’re One Of Us We’re Sendin’ […]

Song of the Day – ‘Leave Me Alone’

  (Will neither confirm nor deny secretly converting to Scientology three years ago…) (Will neither confirm nor deny having a love/hate relationship with John Mayer for being the last person to make me cry uncontrollably (at MJ’s funeral)…) (Will neither confirm nor deny owning a pet bat who lives in my basement whose name is […]

Song of the Day – ‘Hollywood Tonight’

  Lipstick in hand Tahitian tanned in her painted on jeans She dreams of fame She changed her name To one that fits the movie screen She’s headed for the big time, that means She’s going Hollywood She’s going Hollywood tonight She’s going Hollywood She’s going Hollywood tonight She’s going Hollywood She’s going Hollywood tonight […]

‘If They Say, Why? Why?’

Let’s enjoy this peace, for however long it lasts… As I’ve been rolling over in my mind, not how, but why I’ve been enjoying this really long period of complete harmony in all phases of my life, the one word that comes to mind is: transparency.  When all this started, sheer necessity demanded that I […]

Song of the Day – ‘My Secret’

  There are not enough words to express the jealous rage an elementary school aged Aziz had for Ralph the first time he saw this video. WELL GUESS WHAT RALPH? I MOVED TO L.A. AND MET MAGIC AND HE SHOOK MY HAND AND THANKED ME FOR BEING A FAN MY WHOLE LIFE! HOW YOU LIKE […]

2013

  I had a dream to start the week; one of these dreams where as it goes on, you realize you’re not in reality.  I was out somewhere (the Grove maybe?), and I saw my dream girl and her kid.  We hadn’t seen each other in a real long time.  As I was debating whether […]

The Answer

  Tonight’s theme is this quote from Robert Evans: ‘A friend is someone with whom it is possible you can be silent.’ I had one of those pleasant surprise phone calls from a friend this morning.  We talked about where we’re at, where we’re going.  Family, kids, career, the whole nine.  We tried to keep […]

Song of the Day – ‘El Sonidito’

  Small inside joke with this song, but still a good way to go into the weekend. Oh yes, the weekend.  In Younger Malik’s days, quite a few Friday and Saturday nights were spent in various salsa spots around the City of Angels.  And almost every one of those nights went like this: 11:00 PM: […]

Song of the Day – ‘You Make My Dreams’

  The best concert I’ve been to on the West Coast was Prince at the Great Western Forum a couple years back.  There’s no question about that. Second on that list would be CougarFest, or as it was advertised, Hall & Oates at the Hollywood Bowl.  Glad I was able to clear that show off […]

Song of the Day – ‘Lose Yourself’

  Finished the first act of my new screenplay over the weekend, got inspired/reminded of things my younger self wanted (thanks GTA V), rolling into the week with a bang. So let’s go with one of the all time hype songs to start the week. Let’s go!
