Random rantings of the misfit kind.
It's been 88 days since the unjust murder of George Floyd at the hands of police. 161 days since the unjust murder of Breonna Taylor at the hands of police (her killers of which, have YET to be arrested). And 180 days since the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, at the hands of a former police... Continue Reading →
This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of spending time at Vector90, the co-working space in Crenshaw founded by real-estate developer David Gross and the late, great Nipsey Hussle. The space has offices, conference rooms, a kitchen, and desk space for those who just need something more "office-like" than a Starbucks. Aside from being a... Continue Reading →
Getting older can be a pretty heavy feeling, but also a pretty freeing one. It's almost like the older you get, the less you care about people and their opinions. At least, I hope that's what it's like for you. I had a birthday on Monday, a day after the helicopter tragedy in LA on... Continue Reading →
Every single year, around December 31st (give or take a few days), many of us begin to think about what we've accomplished that year, and what we want to do the following year.

Or would you talk about where you grew up, the colleges you went to, and the degrees you've earned? You probably wouldn't talk about the... Continue Reading →
A couple of days ago, I was having a conversation about the lack of a viable creative community in San Diego, or at least one I could find. I lamented on how I'd been lacking with my writing and other creative pursuits, and that I wanted to get back to doing "cooler" things, and creating... Continue Reading →
You want to make sure everything is perfect, that everything is squared away, because then, and only then, will you be able to feel comfortable.
In light of the most recent episode of "why having a badge is equal to having a Purge-like murder pass" as well as, "why justice doesn't really exist", I was compelled to post a wonderfully written comment-turned-article by an awesome friend of mine. I urge you to pay attention, understand, and hopefully internalize her words, possibly... Continue Reading →
