Song of the Moment - Say You'll Go x Janelle Monae

This is just a beautiful expression of Love that the talented Janelle Monae released on her album ArchAndroid. Check it out! It's a very poignant piece - so amazing!

Most People Don't Know Sh*t About Boxing... Lol

Please Stay LeBron - We Are The World Spoof - 2 funny

I guess no one can say the the Cleveland fans aren't true to their sports heroes. But as one of my friends humorously put it, "This takes dick-riding to a whole other level."

whatever it is - it's a cool spoof, and I'm sure a heartfelt plea, from the fine folks of Ohio.

Mother...

So... Ryan Leslie composed a song for his Mother some time ago entitled "Mother". It's a beautiful, simple song in which he just expresses his love and gratitude for his Mom (I posted it here a few weeks ago -- scroll down a little). Anyway in that spirit I decided to attempt to cover the song as a dedication to my Moms - Nana , Estelle, Michelle - and all of the other motherly women who have impacted my life in some way. I did my best and I hope you all enjoy it. Happy Mother's Day!!!

P.S. Thanks to Rich Lucey for providing the piano instrumental for the track. Much thanks and love man!!!

And uh... it's my first recording - bear that in mind please - I know it's not my best...lol

Hello World

Hello folksiz.. what's good? Just checkin' in. I have posted anything in mad long. So for starters my PC failed on me. Hard drive won't even spin up on boot up so it's been decommissioned. I dropped it off of my futon; from not very high up either mind you. But that's that. I am now setting my sights on securing a Mac Book [Pro] over the summer. The bday went well, though my birth month, April, came and went; all too fast if you ask me.

Otherwise things seem to be going well. Schoolz lookin' aight. The fam, back home is doing well, to my knowledge. Alexis has accepted to go to Long Island University in NYC. She really want's to be there in the city of lights and this school allows her to pursue her educational and artistic pursuits. I am so elated about that; about her coming into her own. Graduation is around the corner for her, and prom just before that. I remember all that excitement and energy of my senior as well, just as if it were yesterday.

Anyway, I guess I'll ttyl. I'll uh try to keep up with posting a lil more frequently, even without a functional PC.lol - whereTheresAWilTheresAWay. Peace.
