Narcissism 101

HUMID SUBWAYS

Just got into my apt. in NYC and am very happy to be here. Had a really weird feeling in my stomach half-way through yesterday - dunno why or what it was about, but whenever I do something unfortunate happens. Maybe it happened last night and I don't know about what it is yet, or maybe I was just stressed. Something's gonna happen real soon and I'm hoping it's nothing but positive for me. I really need something good to happen to me right about now...

EDIT

I just removed my most current blog post (which is something I never do) for two reasons:

1. I refuse to put any feeling-sorry-for-myself rants into the universe. For the record, I wrote it when I got home from work Sat. night and was really wanting to put out how I was feeling, however I don't need it staring back at me (or others) for a long time to come.

2. I wrote about someone who might get the wrong impression based on how he reads it. It's better not have him feel like he's done something wrong, when in fact he has not; it's just the way life goes sometimes. Nor do I want him to be embarrassed...again, not something I want put into the universe.

That's all.

GORE AND TENNESSEE CAMEOS

Been working all yesterday afternoon on an idea that came to me back when I lived in New Orleans. It's a love story between 2 young men that takes place in 1961/62 in N'Awlins and today was all about researching history (both national and local) during this time period.

I guess watching all the New Orleans documentaries and new specials stirred up my time spent there and forced me to revisit a story that now means much given what has happened since I left the Crescent City.

Can't begin to tell you how excited I am at all the great things that came to mind today. Feels really good to be creative again, lemme tell you.

ABDICATION DAY

I think I need a good merger this week...

IMMA CREEP

I was recently asked if there was any song that brings up emotions for me and, like the guarded and sometimes scared person I am, I conveniently couldn't think of any.

When going through songs tonight for inspiration I came across this one - Creep by Radiohead. I've always liked this song and tonight, unexpetedly, it made me cry. Why? Because I have, at times, felt this way and cannot be afraid to admit it. I know I'm not alone in this because seriously...honestly...who hasn't?

LIVE FROM THE ROOF

She's ba-aaaack. Miss Levonia Jenkins (aka Greg Scarnici) serves you "24-karat, 18-karat, 14-karat, black dancer cubic zarconia realness."

Married? Married...jeez.

JUST TAKE ME

My favorite song from the Scissor Sisters' new album has a video that was just put up on their website and it ROCKS! Slow motion never looked so good.

THE LOSS OF A FEMBOT

Miss Lorene Yarnell passed away last week. I was kinda obsessed with Shields and Yarnell when I was a kid, so this is another childhood memory that I'll remember fondly.

COLD WAR

LOVE this new video for the genius that is Janelle Monae. All I can say is, she is AWL that.

Harvey Milk would be beaming today.

Who's to say he's not...?

Here's my boy Cazwell's new video for his new single Ice Cream Truck and it is definitely papi-licious.

I loves me some Pam and was so happy to see her life spared this past Sunday. Here is some fashion advice for young female vampires that I found very...um...specific.

Jessica's Blog: Special Guest Appearance!

The point is this: no silver- stick to gold. White gold for functions, pearls if you're the church or charity kind, diamonds when you wanna get some, Chanel jewelry if you've got the funds. Chunky for work, you know oversized rings and statement pieces. Earrings? Avoid big hoops - they're tacky. And If I ever see a sla...p bracelet, I will personally tell you what I think of you.

Been in L.A. 207 days and have had many more highs than lows. VERY happy about that as I seemed to have made the right choice as to the direction I wanted my life to go in. I've met some great friends, re-started past friendships and have gotten to spend quality time with my family. Haven't found love yet but that's nothing one can actively control so I leave that to the Gods. They know best and will make that magic happen when it's time.

So what have I learned during my time here? Well, that I am still in need of pushing toward my goal of becoming a working actor, that I make amazing things happen when I put my mind to doing them, and that being in love with myself will only draw the right people towards me. It's hard to watch those who don't love themselves pull away (whether in friendship or romance) but I know in my heart that they'll get there one day and here I'll be. It was done for me and now it's my turn give back.

Life is good, people. Life. Is. Good.

SMILES, EVERYONE...SMILES

BOMB POP, PLEASE

Here's my boy Cazwell's new video for his new single Ice Cream Truck and it is definitely papi-licious.
