Yesterday was the one year aniversary of Katrina, I am sure all are cognizant as everyone was bombarded incessantly by this commemoration. Not to say that it didnt merit this unrelenting coverage, because it certainly did. It also happened to be the day Spike Lee's Documentary WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE was released on HBO. You all know i am a Spike Lee ( Read more... )

Well i am all moved into my new apartment, done with my first day of clases, and had a little free time so i figured i would update since it has been an aeons since my last entry. Well for all of you who thought i was too inept and or too indifferent to hold a job, i happen to now work at Papa Johns (and after all the scathing, vile, scornful, ( Read more... )

I don’t know about yall but during the summer I cant go to be anytime before 4 o’clock…perhaps it is because I don’t work and most of you work like nine year old Cambodians. So with so much time I find myself doing some erratic activities. My usual schedule is to watch a movie from my AFI 100 greatest films list (I only have about twenty to go….but ( Read more... )

Sitting up a while back, sorting through the ephemera that is internet news, i came across an article on Ann Coulter. Now if you know me i view Ms. Coulter, Bill O'reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, as the triad of the apocalypse and was poignantly engaged at the column. Apparently while promoting her latest literary detriment to society, she made some ( Read more... )

It is official. I am going to OU.....that is all.

Well i find my self here again in the Paul Buyan state. Constantly bombarded with mini-vans and "you betcha's." Along with the banal small talk of the "oh your from texas are ya? Sure is hot down there,"or "i bet this sure is a change for you." (sound of wrists being slit). Yes i am cognizant of the difference not only of the climate but also the ( Read more... )

I want to dispell any speculation that this is in some way an isolent retort to Mr. Nuss' post, i do not wish to revile or scrutinize his post in any way. I appluad him for his views that most of America thinks but won't say. I do however wish to examine and comment on the issue from my perspective ( Read more... )

Yesterday I attended this introduction to the basic concepts and principles of Islam. I went because it is harrowing the standard persons elementary knowledge on the world's second largest religion (myself included). Albeit i do think i posess more than just the primative comprehension of Islam, because for while i did independently seek out ( Read more... )

Tonight was a higly anticipated date on my calendar. Maya Angelou spoke last semester, and this semester it was Spike Lee. Director of my favorite films. Not only are his films brillantly relevant social commentaries, and his work visual appetizing, but i think he is one of the most prolific and illustrious directors of all-time. Plus the magnitude ( Read more... )

Yeah i know it was inevitable. My ordained obligation. The BLACK HISTORY MONTH post. Iam sure you all inferred it would be much sooner(or how i would go off on how they gave us the shortest month of the yr.....but i digress). Im sure you are all bracing for some pro-black, anti-white rhetorical jargon. But i will spare you my exhortation dipped in ( Read more... )
