Golden Globes 2010 Predictions

2010 has gotten off to a crazy start, so I’m posting my Golden Globe predictions to start the week.  I doubt I’ll see any more of the films between now and Sunday, so away we go… Best Screenplay – Motion Picture Who I’d Like to Win: The Hurt Locker.  And I wouldn’t be surprised if […]

Fish in a Barrel

  Everyone has thrown in their two cents about Lamar and Khloe.  There’s the prenup/financial take, the ‘moving too fast’ take, etc.  Recently I was at a professional event that gave me a mini-epiphany about things like this.  So I’ll play the ‘Devil’s Advocate/Hollywood’ take… Like I said, this was a semi-professional gathering.  You could […]

Ex One to the Next One

I find myself going through withdrawal.  There’s a physical aspect of course, getting ready for Ramadan and all.  I’ve already started dropping weight just by skipping snacks and scaling down on my lunches.  There’s also a withdrawal of a deeper level going on.  It’s a weird feeling when you don’t love something as passionately as […]

Clarity

It is a fundamental aspect of my life philosophy that we are all in the place we are meant to be in; the problems we encounter are put in our way so that we can make the decisions that shape our lives.  I’ve lived quite a charmed life: I have good relationships with both of […]

Malik’s Honesty Box

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably come across ‘the Honesty Box’.  Essentially it’s a little app where you post a question and people can respond to you (anonymously if they so choose).  Depending on who’s asking the questions, it can get…very…interesting. Anyway now that Limitless is done, I feel I’ve addressed all the different areas […]

Another Sports Commentary – Kind Of…

  If you’ve been keeping up with (sports) news lately, you know there’s been quite a bit of juicy news off the field as of late.  Former superstar quarterback Michael Vick was finally released from prison.  On top of most likely ruining his football career, his finances are in complete ruin.  Tens of millions of […]

Marriage

  Among my college crew, there were three sets of guys.  The first set were the guys who fit the Midwestern mold: meet your wife as a teenager or early 20s, get married, have a couple kids, the white picket fence, etc., all by your early 30s.  The middle set were the guys who would […]

My 1st Sports Entry

  A quick primer for those of you who are unfamiliar with where my loyalties lie… College Basketball: the Jayhawks.  Do I enjoy playing the ‘sellout’ role a little too much for my KU friends?  Probably.  My first sports event ever, my father took me to Kemper Arena to watch the Final Four practice in […]

Love

I know I’m a few days early with this one, but in light of recent events in pop culture, the timing feels right… In the group of guys that I came up with, there’s a handful of bachelors left.  One of whom is about to get married for the second time.  I won’t use his […]
