What’s up? So I don’t have a lot of deep thoughts this Eid. The train is rolling so this will be assorted quick hits… ‘Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King.’ Uploaded to Netflix right around when Ramadan started, so I didn’t say anything that weekend. But if you haven’t seen it yet, give yourself an hour […]
His birthday just passed, but Malcolm has been on my mind a lot heading into this Ramadan. Not Spike’s dramatization of his life. Not even Malcolm’s own dramatization, as expressed in the Autobiography. I’m referring to the thorough breakdown provided in Manning Marable’s great book. After he was gone, Malcolm’s legacy continues to grow internationally […]
Many of you have watched me adjust to a life of order. The weird days, the peaceful days, and the resentful days. I’ve never been the hold on to anger type, really, but it’s human to look back at things you would do differently, knowing what you know now. Today I was reminded of […]
No post tomorrow, taking a daytrip shortly. Feels like first vacation in my adult life where I’m not actually trying to ‘get away’ from anything; it’s just the right time since the summer will be full. I’ve been trying to find the right words for where my head has been this year. But a […]
Got the script for the summer project over the weekend. Started the character building. Playing a ‘legendary musician’ type. You know how they say ‘find something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life’? It’s been a while since I’ve played an ‘uber cool’ type, so it’s been fun starting to […]
Looking out Across the nighttime The city winks a sleepless eye Hear her voice Shake my window Sweet seducing sighs Get me out Into the nighttime Four walls won’t hold me tonight If this town Is just an apple Then let me take a bite If they say, Why, why, tell ’em that […]
Another rotation around the sun nearly complete. I’ve lived long enough to exist in Trump’s America. Hooray… Nearly all of us in life, will experience some personal and professional setbacks that screws up our plans. I’ve lost more than one job, not from being fired but because the company as a whole went bankrupt. […]
So, I still don’t really have the words. I’m physically drained to say nothing of my emotions. It’s been a weekend spent touching base with my people so we can vent to each other. I’m genuinely thankful to the friends who texted and DM’d to make sure my head was still on straight (you […]
This has been a weekend. Saturday: how can you not be impressed? I know men and women who marched in DC, I know men and women who marched in L.A. I don’t think it’s remotely coincidental these are the same people who have my back when I drop the comedy and speak with passion […]
Who can really say for certain what’s to come in 2017? Whatever shape it takes, we’ll be ready. Let’s do this.
