December 7, 2010: REFLECTIONS.

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 8:50 p.m.
Description: I noticed that thus far, I have done this one-photo-a-day blog each day faithfully since I started it at the beginning of this year. It showed me two things. The first thing it showed me was that I'm proving my love for consistency. I think it is a very important trait. The second thing it showed me was that, if I can dedicate some time to my blog everyday, then what of my prayer life? What about my reading my scripture? I'm not as consistent with those things. Why can't I be, as I am with something like this? Time to change things up. I've got to walk my talk, if you understand me. Gotta live the life I claim. Jesus, here I come. Forgive me for running away for so long.

December 6, 2010: Just two things.....

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:20 p.m.
Description: I'm a simple guy, and all I want is two things. I want this laptop and a Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera. High-priced items, yes, but they both will serve a purpose in what I want them for. I am thinking about doing freelance media, and both of these tools with assist me in my endeavors. And I'm only asking for help, not that someone would buy it all. I'm responsible with my money.

December 5, 2010: PAPER PLATES!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:40 p.m.
Description: You ever see someone with an idea, a product, or a concept and said to yourself "that's gonna be the next thing to blow up!"? Well, I did, and boy was I right! Romar Watson's Paper Plates Clothing Company is straight FIRE! I remember standing at the bus stop for school when I was younger and seeing Romar there, too. From then to now, where he is selling and marketing his product, has been a long time! But he's doing his thing. I've followed his blog on his website, since I found out about it, and even bought a skully from his store. Delivery was fast as crap! I ordered it, and it materialized in my hand out of mid-air. Good quality clothing, a strong dedication to selling and gaining an adamant rapport with investors and companies is going to take his clothing to the next level, and I'm excited to see him make it. To be able to say "I know that clothing designer." is pretty cool! His mission statement includes Fiji Water, and I love Fiji Water because it's Holy Water in disguise. Kudos, Ro! Nothing but support sir! Ya'll check out the site at http://www.paperplatesclothing.com

December 4, 2010: 80 years!

Location: Hampton, Virginia
Time: 6:20 p.m.
Description: Family and friends from all over the world came to the Hampton Convention Center to celebrate Apostle Das' 80th birthday. 62 years of dedicated service to God under his belt, he has reached thousands of people, led thousands of souls to Jesus and built hundreds of churches in 16 countries in Africa. I consider it an honor to know him, and also to know that he and his wife, Mama Das, pray for me, possibly more than I pray for myself. God bless you, Apostle Das! Here's to 80 years more! By the way, Table 23 was the place to be! Me, Michelle, Alison and Angela were talking about back in the day, and the comparison of how the church is today. Good stuff!

December 3, 2010: JAM!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Description: You are looking at one of the coolest people I have ever met in my life! Josh Brandt used to work with me at Sam's Club a couple of years ago, and he was just as cool then as he is now, if not cooler! He knows more about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air show than you will ever know, so don't try him. Every time we talk, we're always cracking up! He found me up here yesterday, and there was no question of whether or not we were hanging out tonight. We went to Cheddar's and cracked up for a good 2 hours! We also caught up, and showed each other where we were in our lives. It was so awesome that I got to slow my life down and enjoy myself for a little while, and Josh was a big part of it! It's like with him, I find the humor in ANYTHING! Got much love for you, bro!

December 2, 2010: L.A.M.P. Compilation!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:50 p.m.
Description: The L.A.M.P. project is a project I started this year, connecting many local music artists that I know together. I believe in the potential of these people to make it big to the point that I want to give them more publicity for their endeavors. It would make me so happy to see all of them make it and really reach their dreams. I'm thinking of putting together a compilation album, getting a song from each of them, and putting it out for people to listen to.. I want people to go far, because in this lifetime, it's rare.

December 1, 2010: BANDS DON'T DANCE NO MO', ALL THEY DO IS THIS!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:10 p.m.
Description: I was putting my laundry away and I found my old Spartan Calvary shirt. The Spartan Calvary is the official pep squad of Norfolk State Athletic groups. They cheer, chant and root on the football, basketball and volleyball teams for home and away games. I remember having so much fun at games, dancing to DJ Vince's music, joking on the other teams, performing with the band, doing "Shake Deez" and singing the alma mater. I joined when I first came to NSU, because I was new and wanted to meet people. And now some of those people are like family to me. I love my SPARTAN CALVARY! G-G-G-GOOOLLLDDDSSSIIIDDDEEE!!!
