Everybody is Interested In Me

Everybody is interested in what is going on with me. At least I'd like to think so. Last weekend my good friend and old room mate got married. It was a very beautiful wedding. I got to go snowboarding for the first time at his bachelor party. I'm loosing my point here. I'll come back to that. Probably not.

So, it is official. Well it has been official for the past two months. I just chose not to talk about it. I'm partnering with a college friend to help launch a clothing line. The process has been a growing experience. Two months in and things are turning up a notch as we work toward some grassroots fundraising. This month has got to be the month that I've had so much going on. The crazy thing is that I'm not even working full-time in my field yet.

I pretty much gave up on anything agency related. Not because I couldn't do it, but because . . . well actually no doors were opening, even if the door opened it wouldn't pay enough, and even if it did I'd be devoting my whole life for that season working like a dirty dog. I don't have a problem doing that but I do have problem with not being happy. As much as I loved NYC and as much as I got used to the hype of the agency I worked for, if that was a glimpse of what I'd experience full time I'd opt out.

So the name of the game is claiming back my time and using what I have to be more entreprenurial--did I spell that wrong? The clothing line has actually been in the works for me since 2006. It's completely his ideas, I'm just on the team helping to implement different aspects of the business. It's a lot of writing, a lot of staying up on trends, a lot of reading to add to the flavor of the brand. I'm very excited to see where things go.

I'll talk more about it, but I'll definitely need your support and ideas to get exposure for the brand as we get more product.

We definitely got that piece. Only challenge is finding those ministries that want to build a relationship. Everyone seems to be about doing their own and not resourcing as a whole, knaw mean.

Kids Do The Darndest Things Pt. 3

That they do! Why is it that all you have to do is throw a little kid in something and it automatically becomes more entertaining than before. I mean for real, think about how many videos are on YouTube of people singing or dancing. Put a kid in those same videos and the appeal automatically doubles. Think I'm joking, check the views and the comments. In working at this youth center with school age children, I've come to the conclusion that there needs to be some form of government-regulated test, module, or something as a way to barr all those parents that have no business raising children from doing so. Honestly!! Say what you want. A good majority of these kids would be so much better if their moma or daddy weren't the moma or daddy. Now a days kids don't have daddy's, which is really sad but for most of those men it's probably a good thing that they aren't around because they'd be the ones barred if there was ever federal regulation on child bearing.

No matter the problem or the issue I face. I'll still give him glory. I'll give him praise. "The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." All of the songs on Freedom to Worship have a special meaning to me but for various reasons I'm drawn to the song "I'll Give Him Praise." I woke up this morning thinking about the biblical basis for the song and I recalled all of the instances throughout the word where the situation called for God's people to be upset or afraid, but they proceeded with praise. God brought down the wall of Jericho with the praise of the people. During the rule of Jehoshaphat God set ambushes against the enemies of Israel through the people's praise. Let's not forget when Paul and Silas were thrown in prison. God used their praise to set them free. It's funny because I thought about those things this morning as I walked to my car to go grocery shopping. I moved to a new neighborhood and spent my first night at

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This
