You’re Almost Done (a haiku)

Is it over yet?

Three months turned to one long year

Bank account’s empty


Long nights were sleepless

Back therapy promised peace

I still toss and turn


Better but not healed

Settled but not satisfied

I save up again.

Daredevil: Should It Have Been Born Again?

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is a hybrid amalgamation of the hit Netflix series that I believe was one of the best superhero shows of all time (I’d say one of the best TV shows of all time too if I didn’t include season 2) & the results are mostly good but not mostly great, let me tell you why.   If you fuse an A+ show such as the Netflix ‘Daredevil’ series with the current MCU which is at best a C- at the moment, you end up with something that’s around a 4/5 stars show and that IS a solid B, but going from an A+ to a B is gonna be fine for some people, while drastically bothering others.  I’m currently on season one, episode 7 of the show and some of the main issues are as follows: “What’s with the unnecessary CGI?”  To see Daredevil swinging through the city like he’s Spider-Man then being edited back into the gritty fight scenes that the show was known for in its first three seasons, comes off as, well…off.  It’s like oil and water, they don’t mix. Either be anothe...

Black Ink (Old Cartridges)

May 2020  I try writing and nothing comes out. What was once a loud, rushing white river rapids had now dried to a dusty road of what once was. Cracks had formed in the brown ground, evidence of life that once was. Have I limited myself to one writing style when I could be writing something else? Stories, themes, and sermons swirled in my mind together creating a mesh of an overwhelming overload of creativity. I put my lyric pen down and picked up my story pencil. I create my own blog and begin to preach sermons at my church. Was songwriting over with or comatose with no end date for recovery? In what once was a devastating fear got converted to faith as I painfully tore off the behemoth growth of music but wrapped the wound quickly as to deter the infection of further writer’s block as I kept writing in new styles, ironically this time not just as a rapper.  July 4, 2010  My friend David was a Christian but also a freestyle rapper. He seemed so cool and super talented as...

Dear Hollywood…you do know black couples exist right?

I remember growing up watching reruns of some great black sitcoms like  the Cosby Show, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Matters , etc. and what they all had in common were strong black couples with strong morals.  Just look at J Cole on his song  No Role Modelz  the first line is “First things first: rest in peace, Uncle Phil For real/You the only father that I ever knew/I get my ***** pregnant, I'ma be a better you.” Not only did we have parental figures to look up to through movies & TV shows but the main reason we looked up to them in the first place was cause they looked  like  us.  I gotta admit the 2020 era of movies are my least favorite decade of film so far. Everything is either a gory horror film, a depressing film, or a blockbuster remake/prequel/sequel/live action version/comic book movie of something that is rarely excellent & is usually just ends up being…okay.  Something I began to notice especially in this decade & ...
