Above are photos from the remainder of my vacation from last week. I ended the week by heading to Ft. Greene to hang out with my brother and catch up with old friends. I had hoped to see Streetcar Named Desire, a movie I always loved…I mean Marlon Brando was smokin’ back in the day, but imagine the joy of seeing this same …
Day 3 of Vacay: Quiet in the Citay
Above: My hood this morning on the way to coffee; it was so quiet, doesn’t it look empty? Sooooo, you may have noticed I clean skipped over day 2 of vacay and launched into day 3, but I’ve been taught when you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all…that being said, …
Day 1 of Vacay
*In my mind, I’m sitting on this California Beach; in reality I’m in Baltimore. So I’ve totally been incognegro of late because I’ve been walking the tightrope that is my work life and new post-Memorial day work-out life which previously was null and void.

Things That Pissed Me Off Today…
There is nothing more infruriating then thinking the thing you are saying is important, sharing it with someone, and having them not remotely acknowledge what you said…to protect the not-so-innocent this individual shall remain nameless Having a perfectly nice yet needy individual call me at work today (someone who needed my help) and work through …
Valentine’s Day Cautionary Tale: Fellas Got Opinions
So before I get into it a couple of things: The Google Valentine’s Day skit on their home page is so cute-love the song I just saw a young lanky stylin guy riding down a hill against traffic on a bicycle-in the one and only hand wrapped around a bike handle he had about 5 …
