well, what I’m working on…
What a trash way to start the week. You grew up with some jazz sprinkled in your soundtrack, you knew this voice. Pop culture wise if you were a child of prime time TV of a certain age, you know today’s song. Rest in Peace Mr. Jarreau.
The Weekend. Going to be plenty of ‘wins and losses’ as far as the world goes in the near future, but as far as the mood in the Aziz Household… Have a good weekend gang!
So now that the press release is out, I can announce I’ll be in Dallas at the end of the month with Aaron Rahsaan Thomas to intro and do a Q&A for our 30 for 30 ‘Trojan War.’ Dallas has always treated me well and we are both flattered to be invited to share […]
As I’ve expressed to those close to me, I’ve officially made the transition from ‘being surprised/relieved’ at being happy and content most of the time, to now accepting this is my default attitude.

I came to the realization a few days ago that most likely for the rest of my life, a major aspect of my private life will no longer be private. And in the short term it’s shaping national security for the worst. If that’s the way it is, fine. But I’m going to be […]
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 […]
It’s the weekend! The news is consistently…jarring to put it nicely. But personally I’ve gotten used to a certain type of peace and have no complaints. So I greet you this weekend with one of my favorite covers of my theme song. Enjoy!
First, an editor’s note: for those of you who come for my thoughts on the prestige pics, I went back this morning and tagged ‘oscars 2017’ on all the nominated movies I’ve seen to this point. You click that tag to the right and you can go back and see what I thought on […]
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 […]
