Other requests, what are you? I have never in the history of my Facebook clicked on you. I’m sure you’re probably filled with notifications about farms and mafias and throwing pillows and birthday calendars and… well… a bunch of other non-sensical foolishness I care nothing about. Oh snaps… you just went up to 214 while I was typing this.

Zoe Saldana
My pick for best dressed at the 2010 Oscars was Zoe Saldana. She killed everyone who dared to set foot on that carpet. Classy/sophisticated on top and fashion on bottom. And the color was on point!
Disclaimer: The fact that I am deeply in love with this woman in no way affected my vote on the matter at hand.

Two words: Tom Ford. Why? Because he’s Tom Ford b*%#*!

Her: Givenchy Haute Couture / Him: Tom Ford… duh

Accessories: Plastic Aviators
Plastic aviators are one of GQ’s must-have accessories for this Spring. Sure you could get a pair from Armani Exchange for $65 or even a pair from Ray-Ban for $135, but the pair I’m rockin in the pic came from Target and were $12.99. Pow!

“An artist, Sir, has no ethical sympathies at all. Virtue and wickedness are to him simply what the colours on his palette are to the painter. They are no more and they are no less. He sees that by their means a certain artistic effect can be produced and he produces it.” -Oscar Wilde

Malcolm X by Eric D. Wills (VIDEO)

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:09:00 -0600

An homage to the greatest individual to influence my life - El Hajj Malik El Shabazz aka Malcolm X.

Notes about the drawing: I drew it on white sketching paper using a Bic pen and drawing over it in Sharpie (my prefferred drawing style/method). I don’t use/like drawing in pencil because it allows you to make mistakes and I’m a master… lol… plus it looks lame (IMO). So yea.

P.S. Malcolm X is one of the greatest men and greatest Americans to ever walk the face of the earth and I believe he is under-appreciated and should be celebrated more as a monumental figure in American history. I believe he should be taught about in our schools just like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, etc. One day when I have more power and influence I will work and fight toward bringing more recognition to this great man who has so greatly impacted my life.

Forty-Four: Photos I Took of President Obama

In honor of Presidents Day here are a few pics I took of President Obama while I was working on his historic campaign in Texas. If you missed it the other day here’s a pic of me shaking his hand.

The St. Valentine's Day Grinch

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:05:00 -0600

First of all, I don’t have anything against love, or being in love, or showing love or affection.

Secondly, in my opinion, “Valentine’s Day”, as it’s commonly referred to, has nothing to do with love, or being in love, or showing love or affection.

So to me, today isn’t “Valentine’s Day”, it’s February 14. Let me tell you why.

Valentine’s Day has nothing to do with love. Who the hell is Valentine? If it’s to celebrate love, why not call it Love Day? i.e. Presidents Day, Martin Luther King Day, Christ-mas.
Love and affection should never be obligatory. Love is an act of will but from elementary school, celebration of this pseudo-holiday is bashed into our brains. My friend Erin tells it best:

“Back in the day, [and those of you who attended SJS can verify], we were all FORCED to hand out Valentines. Everyone in the class got one, or NO one got one. Damn. That’s kind of harsh, right? Who wants to be commanded into expressing their feelings? What if I don’t like everybody in class? What if I just wanna give one to Jonathan and not to Troy? Why is it such a big deal??”

Valentine’s Day is about M-O-N-E-Y. “It’s all about the Benjamins baby”. Now I’m a capitalist and I’m all about business and making money. However, something as sacred as love should not be pimped out and bedazzled for profit…EVER… let alone once a year.
February 14 is just a day on the calendar. If you are in a relationship where you have to wait until a certain pre-designated day to give or receive signs of affection, exchange gifts, and have good freaky sex…. ABORT MISSION.
I saw this on Facebook and thought it was pretty epic:

Someone suggested on Twitter that perhaps I am bitter about “Valentine’s Day”. I simply replied, “How can one be bitter about something that does not exist?”

P.S. It’s not personal just logical. And in case you were wondering, I am FAR from lonely. I’ve got plenty of love in my life to go around. :)
