A year ago this past weekend, my life changed for the worse. The how is no longer important if you don’t know the details. This is about my reaction. I’ve never been one to spend too long thinking about my past or contemplating ‘how things could have been different.’ But when a chapter from […]
I saw somewhere that Ice-T said don’t waste time with the ‘TV version’ of this doc, so I waited until it came out on Netflix. This isn’t a must see doc for everybody, BUT if you love hip hop (Africa Bambataa is the first of many to break down the culture versus the music), […]
Three months to go. By any measure this has been one of my most productive years ever. Even if I sat back and just promoted things that are in the can but haven’t aired yet, 2012 will be a plus. Not my nature of course, but I can give myself a moment to reflect. […]
So how was my first run on an L.A. stage? It’s been great. Truly. Earlier this week, I was in more of my natural element: a television soundstage. 12 hour day (usually the minimum), even with digital technology, at least 45 minutes between each setup to (hopefully) capture five minutes of usuable footage.

Once in a while, you sit back and you look at the decisions you made (and didn’t make) and you wonder in what ways you may be better off (or worse off). And then I finally got my copy of GQ this month, which has a fantastic interview with Denzel. The whole interview is […]
So many different topics I want to cover, but a lot going on personally right now, so I just have to tackle them as I have them. The perfect segway for this clip… This has been making the rounds a bit more recently, but if you haven’t seen it and you have 10 […]
I found myself nodding quite a bit as I watched this one. Here’s the (hopefully not) last edition of Ask a Muslim. The subject is 9/11:
This is a story of passion, so let’s begin by using one of our passions as a way of easing into the story… I was watching The Matrix Revolutions the other day. Not as bad as people remember, but as we all know, the third film in trilogies have a habit of leaving some people very […]
Here is Episode 2 of the Ask of Muslim Series I referenced earlier this month: I have something I’ve been working on for Eid which I’ll post Sunday night/Monday morning. Until then, have a good weekend!
I remember when this film came out I kept hearing ‘Best action film in years’; I even heard a ‘Best Action Movie Ever’ from a few respected peers. I can’t give it that title. But The Raid: Redemption IS one hell of a flick. Definitely on the short list of films that give me (and I […]
