My cousin, Convinced (center) and company at show… I smuggled this one off his myspace page…HA! My spectacular, talented and slightly arrogant cousin has posted some new tunes worthy of listen or eight. I’m one of his biggest critics here so when I say I’m Convinced I’m not just trying to be cutesy with the [...]

Either I haven’t sat down to really watch the Grammy’s in the last few years or this year’s were that enjoyable. I loved Christina Aguilera’s performance of James Brown’s This is A Man’s World and The Police! C’mon that was a given. The Gnarl’s Barkley performance gave me chills and I felt flooded with happiness!!! [...]

Where I Am Now: My morning kicked off with the Rockland sun in my eyes. Uphill and down I went at an easy pace. It was the first time I ran the full distance without stopping though my knee did present some troubles mid-way through. I tried to think about the pain. Was it really [...]

When you’ve left me feeling empty And feeling blue Buy me a zebra That’s all you can do I want the biggest one With perfect white and black stripes Straight out of Africa And you won’t take it back A new nice exotic pony Yes, that’ll do Don’t say a word Just buy me a [...]

Biko, Garvey” and so forth… My head always fell back towards the ceiling, eyes closed, listening, but never really listening or perhaps [...]

Scenes from Superbowl XLI flicker from a muted television in my hotel room. Tribe Called Quest’s “Love Movement” hums out from my headphones and into my eardrums. As my head bobs I wonder where do we go from here? I’ve spent the last three or four days moving 156 blog entries from my previous Xanga [...]

And I’m not running it after all. My knee was experiencing some unexplainable pain over the last few weeks and though I tried working through it on elliptical and bikes, I still found myself wincing at times. I’m too young to screw up my knee. It’s not worth it. I never had pain before all [...]
