June is black music month, or African-American Music Appreciation month as President Obama has referred to it. Despite that, in Detroit, one of the cities in the country with one of the richest music histories, there does not seem to be much going on to celebrate. Nevertheless, Atlantic Records wants to help you celebrate black [...]

Universal Studios, Day 2

| April 17, 2011

I had hoped to go to church today, but my friend had other things to do. Thus, I was stuck at Universal Studios Hollywood for another day. So, I had a pretty bad customer service experience at the park today, which I will not get into at all. All I have to say is that they [...]

Chasing Janet Jackson

| April 16, 2011

One of the reasons that I decided to go to California for my birthday was because Janet Jackson was going to be there during that time. After everything that happened with Michael Jackson, I figured that it would be a good idea to see her once in my life while I still had the chance. [...]

B-day Trip Part II, Universal Studios

| April 16, 2011

Today is my actual birthday. Happy Birthday to me! Today, my trip direction also changed. My friend dropped me off at the Hilton Universal City before going off to a wedding. I chose this hotel because it was one of the two closest to the Universal Studios Hollywood. I was able to check in early [...]

Disneyland 2011, Part Two

| April 15, 2011

Originally, I was supposed to spend most of this day with my friend who picked me up from the airport. However, our plans were thwarted because of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. As a result, I ended up staying at Disneyland for most of the day instead of just the morning.

Welcome “Home,” Ursula

| April 14, 2011

That is how I feel at Disneyland…right at home. While I was living close by, I made many trips to Disneyland. I even had an annual pass at least one of the years that I lived in California. Having been away so long, I truly missed it. Being at the park again, though, was like [...]

No More Bad Birthdays

| April 14, 2011

I had a terrible birthday last year. It was by far the worst birthday of my life. I was literally in tears my birthday last year. I do not want to get into it, but the point of the story is that it was a bad birthday. As a result of last year’s birthday experience, [...]

Dominoes, Al Green, and Aunt Rett

| March 23, 2011

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my dad’s oldest sister passed away recently. Today was the funeral. I do not go to funerals. That is a conversation in and of itself, so I will not get into for now. However, I decided to go to this one, my first in years, to support my [...]

NAIAS 2011

| January 20, 2011

Today I went to the North American International Auto Show 2011. I missed the show last year, and I apparently missed a year of happenings in cars. Walking around the showroom floor, I had no idea that some cars were missing because they were being discontinued and replaced by totally new cars. Nor did I [...]

Take That Corvus

| December 17, 2010

As usual, I have an excuse for not posting as of late, and, as usual, it is not really a good excuse. I have not been slacking off on other important things. I am keeping up with work, still doing my bible study, and still generally being productive. I am even reading some books, including [...]

Hold My Hand

| November 15, 2010

The first official single for the upcoming Michael Jackson album Michael is now available. The song is called “Hold My Hand” and features Akon. While I am definitely not a fan of Akon, and he completely overpowers this song, I still think that it is a good song. It sounds like something that Michael would [...]

This is Breaking News

| November 8, 2010

The musical moment that I have been waiting for is about to come. Nevertheless, if this is a sign of what is to come, then my excitement is quelled. There was so much talk about why Sony was taking so long to release new Michael Jackson material. The answer was that they wanted to do [...]

Between Friends

| October 13, 2010

I think that it is safe to call a person a friend when you spend practically all week literally side by side at work with a person and you still want to hang out with them on the weekend. I remember that Matt and I spent many, many a weekend together playing video games. It [...]

Excuses, Excuses

| October 1, 2010

I have not been writing as much as I had planned this month. Part of the reason that I have not posted as much is because my main computer has been unavailable. I recently decided to upgrade my laptop to Leopard from Tiger. It took a few tries to get everything working correctly. I will [...]

Grown Up Raven

| September 22, 2010

I have never been a Wendy Williams fan, and there is not much substance to this interview. Still, we all know that I love Raven. Plus, Raven was so cute on this visit to the show. This is worth a watch for her fans.
