Remember Project: WE3K THRE3? Well, this is the next installment, and frankly a whole new take on my projects ...err "PROJ3CTS" that I'll be completing in the future. I'm about midstream with this one now, and still have a long way to go as far as completing the tasks I've set for myself. 

Check me and my progress out ...and comment if you'd like.

Peace peace & thanks,

Jonathan

Hit pause...

I'd just like to take the time to ask all of you to hit the pause button for a moment today. While the tragedy of September 11th, 2001 is years in our past, I feel it's something that should never be forgotten. For my generation, it's easily the single most memorable moment in our nations history (even with the awesome/awe-inspiring election of President Obama).

And as I had family, who we couldn't get a hold of for a while, living in NY at the time, I know I'll never forget that day. For me it was the Kennedy or Dr. Martin Luther King moment of my lifetime ...you know, a tragic moment in history when your whereabouts, mood, actions, etc (when word reached you) will never be forgotten. For me it was design class at Barton College ...all classes were cancelled and a professor rolled in a television so we could all see what was going on. How about you?

Peace and a moment of silence to you on this day....










...Thanks,
Jonathan

Can't get enough of...

The Chronic (Lazy Sunday)

Haha, I just want to take the time to shout out Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live. As an on-again, off-again fan of the show, I must say this guy rarely disappoints. And since the introduction of Hulu, I can't get enough. 

Oh and I'm speaking of his music videos mainly. The one I've featured above is simply hilarious. The guy really has some talent. But if you want a more explicit (sorry kids), and if you ask me, funnier video click HERE to here about his excitement about riding on a boat. 

(Side note: Poor T-Pain. Sorry Jay-Z decided to kill your career with the release of D.O.A -- Death of Autotune -- at least you had a good run!)

A future leader named Jonathan ...go figure

Rid the World of The "N" Word...

For once, I was actually satisfied with a forward I received today ...and one from my mother none-the-less ...go figure?!? At any rate, this kid (well, budding adult) has a lot to say for his age. The speech is definitely inspirational. Will it change anything? Doubtful. Even still he should be commended for his efforts ...and if he's the writer, for his level of scholarship.

Regretfully, our world/country often rewards ignorance. And as a hip-hop-head, who doesn't mind the occasional n-word usage -- especially to deliver lines of potency, I must say I fit into this group of rewarders as well. It's a shame. But it is what it is.

And feel free to right-click & save HERE for a downloadable version (sans-introduction), if you like to send it to your peoples and them.

Thanks,
