The Black Nod

A couple of days ago, I was Facebookin’ with a buddy and it reminded me of this phenomenon known as “The Black Nod”.   As a black man (yeah I know you are shocked), I thought I would try to break down this concept for all my loyal readers.  What you are about to read is based on true events.  Don’t get it twisted because this phenomenon does exist.  So get your notebooks out cause I am about to school you on something…

What Up Negro?

Jeffrey Plante

Last night, I attended a really nice benefit in honor of Jeffrey Plante.  First off all, I would like to thank the folks that organized this great event.  One of my first impressions of the event was the amazing turnout.  It was truly a heartfelt moment to see all the people come together to remember and honor such a great person.  Some of the faces I saw last night, I had not seen in 5+ years.  Just goes to show you how connected the people are in a small town setting.

Seamen Skiing

Man Behind The Clouds YouTube ChannelThe most anticipated blockbuster has finally arrived to grace the silver screen of YouTube.  No I am not talking about The Hangover 2.  I am talking about Seamen Skiing.  With this project, I was able to work on my craft as a director/producer.  But I can’t take all the credit.  I was fortunate to work with some tremendous actors.  These actors were able to take my direction and recreate my vision for this film.

As of right now this movie is only available in limited theaters.  Actually you can only catch this on my YouTube channel.  So get your popcorn ready and sit back and enjoy!

Amazon For Music?

Let’s play a little game of word association.  When I say music downloads, I bet one of the first things that came to your mind was iTunes!  I’d also be willing to bet that Amazon never popped into your head.

For all you music lovers out there, you need to hit up Amazon for MP3 downloads.  They have this monthly promotion in which you can download full CD’s for $5.  The editors pick 100 CD’s of various musical genres.  It is awesome.  Now certain months are better than others.   But you definitely need to check out March’s.  Here are some of the CD’s that I will be purchasing.

So hop on over to Amazon Music and check them out.  If you have a Mac don’t worry.  You just need to download the Amazon MP3 Downloader. The downloader will automatically place your music into iTunes.  The best part about Amazon is that it’s usually cheaper than iTunes.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go listen to “Brown Sugar” by D’Angelo.  That song takes me back!

Rod-Stuart Wedding

Yes you read the headline correctly.  Today, I am going to celebrate the union between my good friends Sarah Rodricks & Matthew Stuart.  I cannot wait to see the Fort Lauderdale Spring Break crew.  You know who you are.  So may the ceremony be a beautiful one and the reception be full of dancing, booze, and memories.  Who knows maybe I’ll actually grow a set and talk to a female.

Congrats to you both!
