Today we celebrate the life of one of the greatest men, and greatest Americans to walk this earth. Dr. King has always been a source of inspiration to me, not just because of the things that he did and what he accomplished, but the way he went about his life. He was a man who spoke out against injustice and fought for human rights, but without violence or hatred.
The words he spoke are as applicable today as they were 40 years ago. We again find ourselves in the midst of a long and brutal war. There is perhaps now an even greater divide between rich and poor. And while I hope and believe that we have made progress against the overt racism seen in the 60s, we still do not live in a country where every person has the same opportunities.
Dr. King was also a man of deep faith. He possessed the kind of faith that I strive for. A faith that not only convicts you to believe certain things, but forces you to act. A faith that will not permit you to react in anger, hostility, or violence, but requires something more of you. A faith that will not allow you to judge another person by their race or class, but one that makes you respect and treat all people with dignity.

That’s right friends, this Saturday is the 5th annual Christmas Party extravaganza at 6027 Stanton. We’ve already received tons of RSVPs from friends and friends of friends. There’s really no way to tell exactly how many people will come, but there is one guarantee. This party will be a blast. If you come, you will have fun. Guaranteed.
Our buddy Greg is even coming up from Roanoke, VA with his wife and possibly some surprise guests for the party. So, there is really no excuse for you not to come. If you were invited, that is.
This time of year always seems to be filled with holiday parties to go to. Tuesday was the Big Brothers Big Sisters holiday party at Ravens Stadium. I took my little brother Tyler and we definitely had a ton of fun. There were lots of things for the kids to do and they also had DJs from 92Q spinning music the whole time. The funniest sight was when they played Soulja Boy and every kid stormed the dance floor to do the Superman dance. There were even kids that couldn’t have been older than 6 out there doing it.

That’s right folks. The day many have been awaiting for years is finally here. The Simpsons Movie releases this weekend, but I’ve managed to score a few premiere tickets for tonight at The Senator Theatre.
With all of the hype and well-executed marketing surrounding this movie, I’m sure everyone’s expectations are very high. Speaking of fantastic marketing, the collective genius at Crispin Porter Bogusky have outdone themselves on this campaign. Between converting several 7-11s into Kwik-E-Marts, SimpsonizeMe, and some great TV spots that promote the movie and Burger King, the marketing surrounding this movie has been well thought out and executed.

Sometimes, it can be quite difficult to get motivated to do work on a Monday morning. Today is one of those such days. I think the answer to this problem is 1. coffee and 2. good music. I just made some coffee and am listening to a new CD, well at least new to me. The CD is Paranoid by the band Rescue. Good stuff. Also, the self-titled album by Ola Podrida is fantastic.
I really try not to let myself get stressed out, but this past week has made that somewhat difficult. My roommates and I have been searching for a new place to live, as our house has been sold. We have until June 27, but would really like to be settled in the place by June 15. I hate hearing about how stressed people are, and I hate even more talking like that. I mean, what good does stressing out ever do? I really just have to trust that everything will work out how it’s supposed to and that the next living situation will be just as positive as the current one.
There are a couple of other things happening, but none that I’m going to get into today. Maybe tomorrow.
So this is my first post in this new blog. I’m going to try to post multiple times a week, about whatever I feel like. Here goes.
