OTP with Jake White

Wednesday I’ll once again be sitting in as the guest host of ‘Our Town Pasadena’.  My guest will be South Pasadena resident and Union lawyer Jake White.  We’ll cover a variety of topics including the process of Union lawyers, the current Labor situation, and if the time has finally come for his Clippers to overtake […]

If This Is The End…

Apparently, it’s all over come Saturday.  I haven’t written anything here too personal in a while, but since apparently I only have 48 or so hours left, I thought I’d end it on a high note. If there is no future, then I have to become something that’s not really in my nature, and become […]

The Wrestling Revolution

Today I share an ‘I believe in Harvey Dent’ style moment. Among the wide variety of friends I have in L.A., in the past few months I’ve spent more time hanging out with and ‘talking shop’ with friends who are involved with the local MMA and wrestling scenes.  Running in those circles, I guess it […]

34

Looking at my ‘to do’ list… 1. Not as young as I used to be, so working on something that I hope will make things easier for the next generation of Muslim-Americans.  I haven’t had it so bad really, but it seems like things are moving in the wrong direction, so…I’ll do what I can. […]

2010 – The Return of Bruce Wayne

  A couple weeks into 2010, the last film I wrote and directed was being introduced to a national audience by a movie star.  With a couple of weeks to go in 2010, I got to host a show where I gave an up and coming rapper/producer his first television experience.  I love the harmony […]

In Closing…

Thanks to all who tuned into “Our Town Pasadena” last night.  I haven’t watched the taping myself yet, but based on feedback it sounds like it went well.  Based on who I’ve talked to, the show was watched from LA to Kansas to Romania.  My next set of business cards will read “Malik Aziz, International […]

Personal Leave

Hey All, Haven’t posted in a little while, and probably won’t for a little longer.  Just wanted to give a heads up I’m taking some personal time for myself at the moment.  This year has gone very well; thanks to all who have read.  Fingers crossed we’ll wrap up 2010 on a high note. Until […]

Reel Black Recap

  Saturday night I participated in the Reel Black Men Film Festival organized by the Black Hollywood Resource and Education Center.  “Lady In My Life” screened along with several other films made by black filmmakers.  All shorts (the longest was 30 minutes), the films covered the spectrum of storytelling: there were romances, dramas, comedies, satires, […]
