As I stated in my last entry, I’ve been extremely preoccupied with that which makes me unhappy. I’ve been focused on society’s problems and, on a smaller scale, my personal problems. So to counterbalance this, I’ve decided to make a list of the things in my life that bring me joy. Click through for the list…

happy things.
Jun 19
Dear friends and family,
Umm… sorry. I’ve been on a bit of a tear lately. It seems that the more I listen to myself talk, the more I sound like a bitter old man… It seems like every day, I engage in some long conversation with one of you about the about the problems of the black community and its self-destructive cycles. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t even listen to music on the radio without pointing out how ignorant it can be. I’ve been harsh and abrasive and generally unpleasant to be around. For this, I am sorry.
AJ and I finally got off our collective asses and recorded the first episode of the briliantbrown podcast. It’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s our first shot.
Hopefully, we’ll stick to the schedule and this will be a weekly deal. Keep checking back, we’ve got more in store for the brilliantbrown network.
Edit: I forgot to post the link the first time. Problem solved.

I just finished part two of the “Tweezy, the Early Years” series, entitled Talkin Like a White Dude. I figured it would be redundant to post it on both sites, so you can find it over on brilliantbrown.com if you’re interested.
As an interesting side note, AJ and I are putting the finishing touches on Episode One of the BrilliantBrown Podcast and we’ll be getting that up by Friday-ish. So look for that…
