And now....

2006-08-18T14:09:00.000-04:00

For a much needed update.I'm living in L.A. now...I'm working on some spec scripts to get an agent to get a job.For now, I'm paying my rent and recreation as a logger with a reality TV company in Silverlake.I get wonderful ideas at work, and I write at night. Not the worst deal in the world.Still humping around in an Enterprise Rent-a-Car, working on a more economical option soon...The weekly

Actually, it's my FIRST Relevant article...everything else has been a review/reaction.I had my eye on a spicy dumpling.Check me out.http://www.relevantmagazine.com/pc_article.php?id=7166

Ugh.

So, don't talk about it....Be about it, right?I have too much to do, and I'm not doing any of it...I'm just hovering here, doing nothing. But some days I feel like I'm just gestating or something.Apartment search is crazy...Car search is crazy...gotta go.adam

Okay, so I watched the perfect brother-sister movie last night with my little sister Mary: The Legend of Billy Jean.Today, I'm singing and googling and downloading 80's hair-band ballads of rebellion.And oddly enough, the movie takes place in Corpus Christi, TX. Last night was rough. How come I don't trust people?Nancy suggested that it's because I don't think that I'm trustworthy.And Nancy's

it seems like cell phones get sick of my rambling. Either that, or they're homophobic. It wouldn't let me type anymore. Anyhow, three coworkers just left. One was too fat for her blouse, another looked like she wore black a lot, and the third, a pudgy guy with a cleanshaven wattle wore designer glasses that were much too small for his wide smooshy face. But he didn't sweat. He wasn't a sweaty

i can't believe this. I'm blogging from my cell phone. If this isn't the height of tech savviness, i don't know what is. Oh boy.i won't say where i am, becuase that makes me seem cool and mysterious. Weak, i know...but you really want to know, see? Anyhow, wherever i am, im people watching. This is my favorite place to people watch. There are some pretty interesting characters here.

I'm a fall-down, ground hugging, can't even hug the ground, dirty-nailed, pebble scraping, too-stupid-to-look-up, sorry sorry sorry sorry, SORRY child of man. AND! I can't do what I won't do so I don't do what I should. And how can I expect greatness when I won't even do 'good'? My prayer:God, I love you; help me to REALLY love you.God, I hate myself; help me to TRULY hate MYself.God, I love

Podcast Two

2006-01-20T00:49:00.000-05:00

Podcast TwoI actually enjoyed this.It's THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES LONG.I have a new number-one fan, by the way. My younger brother is now a reader of my blog. Wow.Anyway, this podcast is 38:00 and 17 megs. That's about right when it comes to size and compression...I wish I could make it smaller...but the quality would really suck.hope you enjoy.here you get to really get a taste of my crazy rambling

I podcasted.

2006-01-03T16:45:00.000-05:00

Okay, here's the short list. Most of these should be done by June, when I move:1. Finish "Micha" script2. Finish school Documentary3. Buy a single-color t-shirt press4. develop an amazing photo portfolio that takes your breath away5. create 3 short personal video expressions for web release.6. Lose 50 lbs <-- i'm 6'2 and i weigh 275. It wouldn't kill me to weigh 225. And if it does, I'll stop. 7.

Gonna load me up a bus...

2005-12-21T12:21:00.000-05:00

I'm THIS close to buying a bus and scooping up all my North American slacker friends and moving to a ranch in Cali to make movies. I've estimated that I know enough responsible creative jerks to do some amazing meaningful entertaining stuff. Movies, I mean. The only problem is that, while I get along with all of them, they may not necessarily get along w/ each other. I'm definitely making Hill

I bought overalls over the weekend, and I've been wearing them with the cows.It's truly amazing to actually use something for it's INTENDED purpose.Man, I wonder what it will be like when I get to have sex!HAHAHAHAHAHAI couldn't help it. Sorry.Crass cops, come and get me. Anyhow, I forgot what I was going to say. We got 6 gallons of milk from the cows yesterday. SONOFAGUN!

I think I need a publicist...Or maybe I just need La-Shaun Latore back in my life.She was the spritey Jamaican lady who forced me to apply to Temple...And look what happened! I stumbled upon yet another quote from my relevant Narnia review on ChristianityToday.com, and I'm thinking...this HAS to be worth something to me. I feel like a joke emailing all my friends like "Yo! I got interviewed, or

I just thought that I'd mention, for those of you who haven't noticed, that NsaMinor has divorced me as a friend.Apparently, I'm supposed to know why.Sometimes I think about her, and I still get notifications to delete her crazy bus-stop voicemails from my phone.I don't think I'll chase her though; we'll see what unfolds.I suck at blowing against the wind.Nsa, you're missed, but since you decided

To the hills and the vales...

2005-12-12T03:36:00.000-05:00

Hi guys.In real life, if you were my real friend (something I'm missing locally), this would be one of those times where it really is 2:30 in the morning, and I just knock on your door and stare at you, wanting a Strongbadian Cold One and some random conversation. No reason, just hi.

Velvet Fist

2005-12-09T00:38:00.000-05:00

See, that didn't take long at all you communist heartmongers.I've taken to leveling elaborate insults at people as a sign of my appreciation for them.A well-thought-out "I hate you" is better than an insincere generic "i love you", isn't it?Well it should be.I just told someone that I want to rule the world with a velvet fist. You know I'm giddy when I quote myself.I had old school pizza in my

Wow, I'm back.It's been several weeks since I've blogged.My caps lock key is sticking.My former roommate called me a keyboard rapist.I didn't find it very amusing.Apparently normal people don't use the caps lock key as much as I do.I only use the SHIFT key for symbols, never for capital letters.I just jab the caps lock once, hit my letter, and then jab it again. Like second nature. As YoU mAY

My Stupid Mantis

2005-10-26T13:18:00.000-04:00

So I'm prepping the cows to be milked.You can't just milk a cow. Teats get dirty you know.We don't pasteurize the milk, sanitation is of the utmost.I have to separate the cow to be milked, spray it with a mild detergent, hose it down, scrub the teatsm dry the teats...So I'm prepping the cow to be milked, and I see a praying mantis.I'm all photobrained lately, so I scoop it up in one of the blue

Idea Man

2005-10-19T22:46:00.000-04:00

I've always been into the idea of a Renaissance Man. As the consummate answer to the double consciousness, my mother very aptly coupled our lesson of the Italian Renaissance with lessons on the Harlem Renaissance. As a result, I've always had it in my mind somewhere that as a black man, it's my responsibility to also be a Renaissance Man. In fact, I get a mental image of da Vinci chipping away at

Relevant TV

2005-10-17T16:51:00.000-04:00

Okay, so maybe I'm a little bitter.Almost exactly a year ago, I sent Relevant an email telling them how awesome it would be for them to have a section of the website devoted to short films and other videos for people to watch and discuss. They replied with a kind email stating that such content was hard to manage and inconsistent with Relevant's priorities as a company.Today, Relevant TV

2005-10-16T20:33:00.000-04:00

** This is a dupe post from my myspace.com page.So for those of you who don't know, I'm moving to L.A. next summer to write.The plan is to take a reputable month-long acclimation/refresher course (which happens to be Christian in orientation) and then to try to get some film and tv assignments. The program I'm applying to is well known for helping good writers find work after they complete the

C.S. Lewis must have lied.

2005-10-10T09:29:00.000-04:00

I know that most of C.S. Lewis' little books are supposed to be bite-sized and easily digestible. I can't even write that and believe it, because they most commonly are neither of those. The Perelandra series has taken me 3 years to read, The Great Divorce took me 2 years to read, I'm still in Abolition and only pages through Pain, and in the case of Hideous and the ENTIRE Narnia series, I

I'd like to thank Jason...

So I see everything. EVERYTHING.As my sister, who's not Jewish, says: "It's a thing with me."So that's my thing. I see everything.Seeing everything is like...well, it's like seeing everything. How do you know what's of note, and what's just this month's flavor?When does wisdom part ways with apathy?And so there it is. I'd heard of ActOne. I'd known about them for about 6 or 7 years (I think that
