I forgot to take pictures at the 90's party and at Mohan and Maire's wedding last Sunday. My girlfriend
took some pictures with her camera phone though. Pretty good ones actually.
It was great seeing them get married. I was one of the groomsmen. I've known them for over six years...I've seen them go through alot.
They've taught me alot. I almost cried standing on the alter. Twice. This event made me think about a lot of events from the past and
wonder about the future.
At the bachelor party (which was filled with Playstation and Madden football), Jean informed me that he has a baby girl on the way. Due September 25th.
Congradulations to Jean and Marie. (I have alot of friends with the name Marie, I hope I didn't confuse you.)
|
My job is teaching me about how I like to avoid conflicts and how want to run from certain situations.
It's reminded me how much I hate being the one that everyone relies on for help. The one that is expected to have all the answers.
I'm going to a 90's Party this Friday. Sounds like it's gonna be a hot one. Everyone dressed in 90's gear (overalls, caps with the tags on it, Cross Colors, etc.).
I'll take pictures.

I'm getting
used to my job. I'm very grateful for it. I'm getting experience in
many different aspects of the industry and giving me ideas.
I've been hustling for my personal business ventures. I'm networking and promoting my skills to the masses;
while making strategic partnerships.
|
I'm learning alot from my new job. It's very fast-paced and different from my past jobs.
But I'm managing fairly well and picking up things. However, I've got to restructure my time because most of it
will be put into my occupation. I'm grateful though.
Nat's doing much better.. she had an audition with VH1
I think.
Spring/Summer is around the corner. I want it to be on the block.
|
Scratch the last
job with the health products company. I
got a better offer from them.
Pray that I have the faith that I can do the job. Because I might feel a bit overwhelmed. It is a managerial position with
alot of responsibilty. But God wouldn't give me the job if he didn't think I could do it right?
|
Things are happening
with the business. We got a few interns and a couple of business professionals
helping us out.
Got a new job doing web design/online marketing for a health products company. The pay is ok, but benefits are included.
And it's close to the business.
|
There is a website that I am making right now and it's
coming along great. I can't wait until it's done so I can get started on the marketing for it. I'm actually more excited
about that.
I had an interview yesterday for a Web Production Specialist position at an 107 year old publishing company. It went well. I hope I'm
in there.
|
I left that job. It wasn't worth my time.
I was a telemarketer.
Even though things are not going exactly the way I would
like them to go, I am learning alot about people and how to interact
with them in certain settings. Like interviews...giving and taking
them. How to word my resume. I changed a couple of words..in addition
to me graduating & tons of people want to interview me. No call
backs though.
The company with my business partner is picking up. We hired a couple of interns and looking to launch something big by the summer. Please
continue to pray for that.
I've been compromising alot with my relationship with God. But I am getting back into sharing my faith...slowly.
This blog isn't what it used to be. I used to come on here and vomit up all that was going on in my life almost everyday. I'm pretty sure
that the reason for that was because I wasn't telling anybody else. I've changed that somewhat in the last year but I feel like I'm neglecting my web audience.
(The few that there are.) This has got to change.

I'm found
a job about 2 weeks ago. I'm a Jr. Loan Officer. I basically call
homeowners and get them to fill out a pre-application to refinance
their mortgage. It's alright for now. Pretty decent. This is just
until I get something better.
I got new glasses. About time too. I had to get it while my Medicaid was still active.
Slowly adjusting to the no school thing....Even though I'm not in
school, I'm still busy.
Anticipating warmer weather.
|
I'm everywhere looking for a job. High, Low, Online, Offline, Everywhere. Something with happen soon. I want to start a t-shirt company. I finally
came up with a name and logo. By the summer I want to really be moving with that. My girlfriend is the best. God is still God.
|
Happy New Year!
Business is picking up. I am trying to use my time effectively.
I
just found out that Pimpin' ain't easy until now. I found a pretty
cool watch that is made in Japan that I will eventually order. The
time is read by reading the hours on the left and the minutes on
the right. When the button is pressed for the time it will spiral
all the lights on and off then show the time. Press the button again
and the day and date will be displayed. Now what really makes this
watch stand out, is the light up feature, the watch lights up every
light in a spiral and then off in a spiral every 2 minutes from
6 PM to 1 AM.
And if you can believe it the line of watches is called PIMP.

Just here...I don't feel like doing anything. When I say anything, I mean
anything. I just feel like going to sleep.
|
 I graduate in a couple of hours. Not feeling that exuberance yet.
It will probably come tonight or tomorrow morning when I wake up
late and try to figure how to spend my time. I'm still trying to
figure out if a full time gig is the best thing. We'll see.
I do need to go to a party and release some stress. I am going
to a Christmas Eve party but that's more work than fun.
|
I graduate in 18 days.
I need to make more money.
I need to be in my bible more.
I need true spiritual friendships.
I need to change.
|
Well, things have sharply changed in terms of my working situation. At the moment I am freelancing fulltime. At least until I graduate in 4 weeks. I've never done this before and it should be an interesting experience. Creating websites in my own office feels good.
Check out the lastest creative product.

I've been meaning to update this for a minute; but things kept coming up. Business is moving forward. Just got an office. If the spirit moves me, I will post pics...but most likely not, hehe. 6 weeks of school left. Go fast please. I'm loving my new job...the flexibility...the creativity...the kinda place where I wouldn't mind working overtime. I remembered last week that years ago when people would ask me what I was gonna do after college; I would say "web design..hopefully for a magazine so there's always something new to do." Now I work for a company that has about 150 magazines. God does do more than we imagine.

Hey everyone....I got a new job!!! I finally left here to start my career with Advanstar. It is more money and it's what I want to do. Web Design. I'm excited..it's going to be alot of work. But I am looking forward to it. I'm going to learn alot and get numerous contacts in so many industries.
It has been a long time coming. God is definately making it happen.
|
Yo!!! Jay-z shouted out my high school Bishop Loughlin!!!! in his new song with R.Kelly "Big Chips" in the second verse. I had to rewind to make sure that's what he said.
Listen closely.
|
It's crazy. God is definately making it happen. I have a continuous flow of clients and I pray that it continues. Gotta get that domain name registered. The free redirecting url I currently have is down for some reason; along with my business email. If I never get them back it's alright...God is in control. I think this will push me to purchase my domain name much sooner than anticipated.
Learning to love someone like Jesus did is definately hard.
For those who forgot here are my poems.

I've been running into people from my past lately. I ran into Tiffany from high school on sunday. I ran into Desmond from church monday night.
It's hard getting back into the school mode. I was so used to having 4 day weekends during the summer. Now I only have 1 day a week to sleep in. With homework, class, work, business, church, friends, it can get kinda hectic. But it'll only be 4 months long. Please pray that I get alot of money between now and then. I need it.
If it works out I will get a laptop by the end of the month. I also bought a brand new Palm Zire for $40. I got it from Craigslist. Very happy about that.
|
First day of school...eh..it's alright so far. Just trying to be out of this place.
Someone got me some new kicks for school. I was surprised. Jumpmans..
|
Yes, yes ya'll. I'm doing big things. Been busy. My girl's birthday just passed. So one of her best friends (who happens to be a casting associate at MTV) and I secretly planned a dinner party at Carmine's. My girl was very surprised.
Working on things..I'm finally going to really start my web design business. Getting things together. Putting resources in order. Get things legal.
Please check out Afar. They do it right.
|
I've been hustling, trying to make some money....freelancin. We'll see what happens. I've recently made some goals in my head. Things that I wish to get done by a certain time. I pray that God feels the same way about them.
My character is being exposed more and more. Boy do I have a sinful heart...
|
Still busy...and I will only get busier with school. I am in dire need of a laptop and new clients to increase my monetary gain. hehe. Summer's almost over and I don't know if I'm gonna be financially ready for that. But oh well. Life is still good. I can't really complain. God will take care of things...
My friends are trying to plan a White Party at the end of this month. Much like P.Diddy's own. I hope it turns out well. It would definately be alot of fun.
|
busy, busy.... need my computer back. My stepsister, Kenica, came up from Antigua on Saturday. She'll be here for 3.5 weeks. Looking forward to chillin with her. I haven't seen her in a while.
I need to make some money quick fast. There are alot of things in the future that I wanna do that will cost money. I'm gonna start freelancing again as soon as I finish my current projects. Wish me luck on that.
|
Today has been one year since our first date....yeaaaaaa man.
So Jean and Marie got married last saturday. It was a really nice
wedding. They were both crying. The dance me, Carlington, Guerline,
Marie E., Mo, and Kathleen did at the reception turned out well.
I'm really happy for them they've been thru alot together. And they've
seen me go thru my stuff too.
Business needs to pick up man....

I know very often my entrees are about my girlfriend. And why not?? she is a very, very huge part of my life. To the point where everything else in my life is connected some way to her. (To put a disclaimer..God is still first in my life) Money, school, career, fun, goals, work, life in general...she is a part of them in some way. Everytime I hang out with her I find out something new about myself or her.
i'm so lucky to find the one to transcend with.
My brother graduated 8th grade. Age goes fast. I'm hanging with him the whole day tomorrow.

Jersey shore was very cool. I had alotta fun. I learned about about myself and each other. We got some of it on video tape. Sooooo much fun we had. It was like a bunch of disciples living together. The girls tried to catch us off gaurd with a water fight. They were sorry they did.
I went to an open mic last night. Cheeng Ching and Grafted Branches were there to name a few. Branches are getting better every minute. I need to jump on...
|
Still learning; still growing. Still wondering where this summer is going to take me. I already know it will be different than I expect... or maybe it won't... I dunno.
I know I need to be more open. It's hard trying to always figure out what i'm thinking and understand exactly what I'm feeling. I know it might not be a problem for some folks to do that. But me, I'm not most folks. I'm the one with the crazy subcouncious and thick greymatter substance.
A few of my friends and I are gonna be gone for the weekend. I think we are going to Jersey shore. Hehe, I can't remember.

So I'm almost done with this semester. I have 2 more finals tommorrow. I registered for the last 5 classes of my college career. Also paid off this semester. Need to find funds for next semester. I already have a little saved up.
Need to get back on the ball with headshots, auditions, promoting talent.
Been rehearsing a dance to do at Jean and Marie's wedding reception.
I'm really loving how things are going with Nat and I. We are definately on a new level in our relationship. I'm not sure why though. Perhaps because of recent events I have been able to express my love in a different way. Or maybe cause that's what time does. We are comming up on five months. After June this will be the longest relationship either of us have been in. I just hope and pray that God stays the center of our relationship and that we remember that if it were not for God we would not be together.
I told 'Fish' that I wanted to do a few songs with the Branches. He was like aight but he has to see how I rhyme first. So he gave me a cd with instrumentals last sunday and I've been working since then. It's rather cool.
I saw Troy. It was good. I liked it. One quote in particular..."War is young men dying and old men talking.."

Smoking Is Cool.
Life is good. I'm about to finish up this semester.
Getting into finals now. I'm tired of school.
I spoke to Dean Spencer a couple of days ago.
I needed to find out exactly how many classes I needed to graduate.
My friend referred her to me and is supposed to be the best advisor
on campus. And after our little meeting I'd say she is. She when thru
my transcript and the classes I'm taking now. Checked how many credits
I needed and even made a print out of the choices of classes
I can take to fulfill my academic requirements! Thorough enuff.
I've never felt this close to graduating before. I always felt
like what Kanye West said "eveything I want I gotta wait a year, wait a year".
Speaking of Kanye I love his cd. It's funny and lyrically profound....
"Oh my God! Is that a black card? I turned around and replied "why yes, but I
prefer the term African-American Express."

I'll be back to write some more stuff....I will really...:)
|
Yep, April Fool's Day...I hope nobody tries to catch me with something today. I gotta watch out for Sean though. We usually have Bible Talk at his apartment on thursdays...and he's the type to try something.
Jean and Marie are getting married on July 3rd. I'm in the wedding so I gotta save up to rent the tux. Oooooh I just realized....wearing a tux in July...dag!
|
Lemme tell you I've got alot of things to work on....
Soooooooo much stuff to pray for......
I ran into Jared on the way home the other day. I haven't seen this guy in a couple of years. Much catching up to do.
The Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island ministries are have sunday service all together this sunday. Which should prove to be delightful. It's been a while since Long Island people saw my face not to mention my other half.
|
Gosh, I'm hungry right now. Need food. On the way to school I wrote two verses to a rap song on the bus. Just need a beat now. Gonna converse with the Branches for that. I have a couple of tests coming up and a paper. I'm not sure what I'm doing for spring break yet. I know I'll be working on at least 2 websites...and hanging with my girl. :P
|
Yesterday was my spiritual birthday. It's been 5 years since I became a christian and I still have a lot to learn. But I'm lovin' it. Life is grand. I'm at peace.
|
Free has a new song - 'Gotta Leave'
Working to hard to spread out the things I need to get done. It's going well so far. School is alright; Finance may be a problem but we'll see. When I redesign this website, I'm going to use Greymatter and Radio.blog. I'll make this site more usable and change the color scheme too.
Right now, I'm working on building strong friendships with spiritually men that I can confess my sin to and grow in my walk with God. Since I didn't have those type of friendships in Brooklyn I'm working on that now. It's pretty cool. Very liberating. I'm also understanding how I can lead in my relationship with my girlfriend without me thinking I know how to. And it's very comforting to know that she is secure in my leadership and walk with God.

My neice, Takijah, is taking over my house. She thinks she runs things and will stare you down until you recognize who you are dealing with. She will return the hits you give her. She will come and take food out of your plate or hand without asking cause she is queen.

So I saw The Passion of Christ today. All I can say is it was REAL. Very accurate to what we see in bible. I was feeling alot of things during and after watching the film. It definately convicted and reminded me of what I am on earth for. But before I watched the film I heard reviews from critics saying that it was too gorey and that it was ant-semitic.
First of all, of course it's gorey!!! That is what's in the bible. It is the truth about what Jesus went through. What was Mel Gibson supposed to do.....water it down like those old Jesus movies did in the 50's?? If it is true then it needs to be told like it is.
Second don't give me this anti-semitic junk. People afraid that the movie implies that the Jews killed Jesus. We all killed Jesus!! You, me, yo mama, er'body!!! No one in existance can say "I wash my hands from the matter...I am innocent of this man's blood."
Seems to me these critics never read the bible and if they did, they don't understand it. Just like someone looking at a mirror and then immediately forgeting what they look like.
After the movie ended; I was watching people walk out the theater and wondering if they really understood what they just saw. Like you (and me) did that to Jesus cause of our sin. And that there needs to be a response to it. Or are these people thinking "that was a good representation of the cross, it was a good movie" and go back to the life they were living with no change at all.
THAT'S NOT WHAT JESUS DIED FOR.

Good news, I sent one of my clients on an audition for a Sony commercial and she booked it! Very exciting. My first booking since I started being an agent. Feels good. God amaze us...
Going to go networking party tonight. See how that goes. Gotta find something to wear. That's a challenge.
I'm going to redesign this website when the summer comes.
|
Things are slowly picking up in the many business ventures that I am involved in. It's pretty encouraging. I gotta find something to wear to a meet and greet on thursday. And get a certain person's foot in the door.
I went to bible talk at Sean and Jennifer's house. It was a really good discussion, lol. Sean is really funny. You guys should definately check it out. holla at me.
|
My Valentine's was pretty cool. Nat and I went to a party at The Water Street Restaurant & Lounge in Brooklyn; under the Manhattan bridge. There were cats from Brooklyn, Manhattan, New jersey, Long Island, and Philadelphia. We had the whole downstairs to ourselves. It was cool. And the last song they played was "Se pa pou dat" by Alan Cave. It's one of my favorite haitian songs.
Congrats to Olaniyi for becoming a disciple last friday.
|
I got a 4 day weekend coming up. I'll see how that works out cause, I don't have class but I still have to work. I've got a lot of things to get done on thursday. Haircut, pick out clothes for V-day party, get some web design done and other odds and ends.

Congradulations to Kenny and Lissa for getting engaged!!! All my friends are growing up and moving on and it's seriously, seriously scary. Adulthood really starts to set in when you see your friends getting married and having kids.
Nat and I are going a Valentine's Day party. Jessie and co. planned the party to be a red carpet affair; so it should be hot to see how people dress. It will be her first Valentine's Day with someone special...same for me. I love my girl... :)
Classes are ok so far. I can see Finance 110 will be the most challenge.
Work has been good. My days go by fast which is definately a good sign. It's a very laid back place to work. And humorous. As I was filing something the other day I came across a $10,000 check that someone wrote. What was funny was that the check was postdated for Jan, 15 2006!! Talk about planning ahead.
|
I finally hooked up my computer. I couldn't take it anymore, hehe. I still haven't cleared out the junk in my room that accumulated when I lived in Long Island. That's gonna take a while.
Classes start on Monday. I still need to get signed in to this acting class. I hope I can. It's been a while since I've been in school full time.
Some more good news.... I got a new job!!!! LOL. God does the coolest things. First I wasn't looking for a job. But my friend Clifton, is about to start this internship in the city so his company needed someone to replace him. The job is easier and better paying than the one I was previously at. It's a 15 minute walk from campus and I conveniently start the first day of classes. The interview was yesterday and I kinda had a feeling that I was gonna get the job because I was recommened and I didn't apply for it. Even during the interview they never asked me for my resume. I had to ask if they wanted to see it! It's like God said "It's time for this guy to change jobs...BOOM, there you go." Hehe....I'm telling you this year is gonna be awesome.
Things with Nat and I are great. We are definately growing and getting stronger. :)
I love "Encore" by Jay-Z...it's so hot!
|
Not that busy at work today. Gonna hang with Nat, Sonny and Christina tonight. Should be fun...
|
My posts are becoming more spaced out because I have not set up my computer at home yet. Waiting for space to become available.
I still have to work out my schedule....I'm ready to move on..I've been ready actually. I'm tired of the college thing. Tired of the traveling thing. Just give me my degree and let me get on with my life...
I need to call people. Catch up with them and keep the friendships going. Walk with them as they spiritually grow, ya know?
Ever since last week I've been having this urge to write rhymes and lay down a track. Need to converse with the Branches. Like there is so much inside me that hasn't been expressed yet. It needs to be let out soon.
I'm gonna mail out some headshots to agents today. Hopefully I'll get some callbacks.
I want to get the new Mach3Turbo, it vibrates and hums to help your hair stand on end.
|
No one like you - a song that Speech released in 2001.
I'm trying to effectively create the best schedule possible that will accomodate my academic, work and girlfriend duties....it's hard. I'm already wishing summer was here. Cause like Tamia, I'm "Officially Missing You" ;)
|
|
I had
to plug my peoples. Check 'em out on the 14th.
It's been a week and a day since 2004 started and I'm very happy so far. Gotta plan some double dates...alot of people wanna meet my baby. :P I'm beginning to understand just how much planning and work God put into my girlfriend and I getting together. I've only scratched the surfaced. Heavy.
It's not only being "Mr. Pink Shirt".../
God said time for plan B/ no longer apart shall this woman and man be/ time to let time speak/ talk about patience/ soon to be heard on New York's hot radio station/ time spent was sacred/ convos are frequent/ and my confusion I don't know where it went/ we even got our own version of "Dip Set!"/
feelings and emotions up in our hearts it crepted/ that butta love is definately full blown in full effect.
