well, what I’m working on…
Let’s start this week off on a light note. It was an off day for my workout routine, but this came on and I was shimmying around my apartment for a good thirty minutes. On the list of great songs that movies gave us, this has to be way up there. (And the video […]
‘Lessons from the Screenplay’ has quickly become my favorite video essay series in breaking down why some films and TV shows work (and some don’t)… Today, Michael Tucker breaks down Killmonger and Black Panther, and to say I was enthused by his thesis is an understatement. Enjoy!
Well… We’re still here. Enjoy the day off everyone.
I had some thoughts about starting this week talking about ‘This Week’s Atrocity’. But… We’re about to head into July. I think it’s time to clock the outrage, and focus on November. So let’s get into some music to start the week. Always loved the simplicity of this video. Pretty girl, Wendy(?) on guitar, […]
Today’s video is one of my theme songs, performed by one of the show biz greats. I’ve auditioned to play Sammy once; it’s still a dream part for me. May realistically be a little too far removed at the moment for what Paramount is setting up, but you never know… Enjoy!
My Ramadan goal this year wasn’t as dramatic as the past few. I didn’t focus hard on improving my Arabic; I didn’t donate all my excess material stuff to Goodwill. I came into the holy month in awe that I’ve been able to live my life without destroying ‘my life.’ I’ve also been aware, […]
The official answer to it all is, ‘It is the will of Allah.’ If I go before I resurface next month, Surah 2, verse 286 should be on the front of the program: ‘Allah imposes not on any soul a duty beyond its scope.’ When my mind is quiet though, (which is often now), […]
One more song… This is darkly comic now, but in my deep dive of Malcolm’s life there was a 48 hour period last week where I was listening to the full audio of ‘Message to the Grassroots’, and ‘the Ballot or the Bullet’, then Kanye went public calling a slavery a choice and I […]
Liquid lunches and reading and getting up a little bit earlier…almost that time. I’ve already heard this ‘sign’ from three different places this morning. Good time for it to be the Song of the Day. Enjoy.
Ramadan 2018 is within range. I have a lot to say, but still a month to go, so for today, patience… And we party walk… Enjoy!
