About Me

I am a former journalism student who earned a Bachelor degree in Radio Production and Afro American Studies from one of the California State Universities, The Valley's University. I have also earned a Masters in Organizational Leadership from a small private university. I have survived 2 strokes which have taken my athletic life away but not my mind. I am opinionated, sometimes over the edge, controversial and will offend some people because I speak my mind. Since there is little of that left after the strokes, you can see what I mean! I am an avid sports fan and follow all sports. I have played every major sport and have tried my hand at others.I am a biracial George Plimpton without the fame or pro experience. I am an avid bowler, former Los Angeles On Air personality at the original KDAY, and an all around renaissance man. I speak about my reality, my truth, in my own way and about my life! I will not apologize and sometimes get too personal. Please enjoy the journey.

January 1, 2013...A Blog Odyssey!!!!



Well 2012 is in the rear view and I am one who is so freaking happy it is over.  The worst year of my life since 2005.  Worked for an unethical college in an office where the college has been conned and believes they are protected.  Reality check coming soon.  Lost my job, was unemployed for 4 1/2 months last year, found a new job that is good, but looking forward to a great year.  So looking ahead, it is hard to project the future, but there are some random thoughts today.

The Rose Parade is over, so is the game.  Now the tourists, fans and others can take their asses and get out of Pasadena.  Sorry, but over the years I am bitter seeing all the trash and slobbenly acting, dressing and looking people who camp out on the Boulevard, feeling what the homeless feel every night, and hang out around town in a hotel or RV for a few days.  Make a difference for the homeless after your experience.  Have a heart and feel for these people who the city drives out of town to make the city seem so special, picturesque and desirable.  They don’t want our crazy homeless, like Itchy/Scratchy at the post office, sleeping out with these people and driving people away.  I last camped out when I was 16 and I ran a Boy Scout food/souvenirs booth next to Starcruiser.  SO that was many years ago.  Sorry but I am too old for that and my kids know, unless we have a ticket for a grandstand, or my baby girl is a Royal Court Member, I am not going.  You only need to do it once, and I did it 10 times as a kid because I didn’t know better.

Congrats to Stanford.  Loved the comment by Coach Shaw, “We finished off what we stated!”  Nice potshot at USC.  They want to be the Alabama of the west?  Really?  That belongs to USC, maybe Oregon.  Stanford is not close.  Oh, Wisconsin is a joke as is the Big Ten!  You lose 3 straight Rose Bowls; have an annual losing record in Bowl Games?  Really?  It has become a joke, like the BSCS, I mean BCS.

The first commercial I saw in the New Year made my year and my heart is pumped.  I only wish I could get a job as the show announcer or some position on the staff.  Yes, I am talking about the show starting 9/9/2013.  I am talking about the return of the Night Thing, The Arsenio Hall Show returns!  If you didn’t know, I idolized Arsenio in college and he is my hero.  If you know Arsenio hook me up!  I just need an opportunity Arsenio, let me show you!

I am not a drinker, but lately I have been trying a few holiday beverages.  Not really my thing, but if I can have this Cupcake Sparkling Moscato, I’d try it each day for my heart.  Like I said, never been a drinker, even really casually.  I only drink at home, some people should take heed.  

I do really not understand how people wish to be lazy and never try to improve.  Why do ignorant Negroes, yes I said it, leach onto or try to leach onto good people and freeload off them?  Why do these same ignorant ass excuses of human life attempt to play women, have bastard children everywhere, and not want to raise his own, yet can tell you how to raise yours?  If you know a woman like this, give them a reality check and help them drop the loser from their life.  They are above it and can do better!

I told you, I go everywhere. 

 Speaking of, there is a website launching I think tomorrow.  www.lifepoetry1.com is an outstanding concept in poetry, small business, and artistic expression and education.  Please support my friend’s endeavor.

Day one, I have survived and have spent the required hour writing today.  Time to watch another bowl game before going to sleep.  Back to work tomorrow, not used to this, usually have 2 weeks off until Monday after New Year’s Day.  Different job, longer drive & different mentality, so until we blog again, or manana.
