I first learned about the most recent total lunar eclipse yesterday afternoon while watching the repeats on Cable Channel 9 (WAFB). Weatherman Jeff Morrow told us that the skies should be clear, save for the usual fog that would appear at around 6pm locally. Luckily, I was able to go out this morning and snap … Continue reading Total Lunar Eclipse in Baton Rouge

Javan Does Baton Rouge — The Gilded Lily
It’s been a few months since I’ve posted one of these. I’ve been doing Baton Rouge quite a bit lately, but I haven’t been able to document it as well as I had hoped. These next few entries will be about the places I’ve visited over the past year (I’m backed up just that far), … Continue reading Javan Does Baton Rouge — The Gilded Lily
Dream Log: 6-2-14 — Jaleficent
6-2-14 10.25am The title of this entry should make sense by the end. I’m in the middle of a sharp transition when it comes to my social life. In tandem, I’ve also had dreams that were even more disturbing than the ones prior. But at this stage of the game, my latest dream took … Continue reading Dream Log: 6-2-14 — Jaleficent
Javan Does Baton Rouge — TJ Ribs
Ay, you know what’s better than doing Baton Rouge? Doing Baton Rouge on someone else’s dime! That’s how I struck big this weekend, getting information for two new blogs. I took a long-awaited visit Leo’s Rollerland this past Saturday for a birthday party, but since I still need to edit the accompanying video, I’ll jump … Continue reading Javan Does Baton Rouge — TJ Ribs
Why I Also Love Baton Rouge
This entry is written in response to the article “Why I Love Baton Rouge” by NOLA.com writer Kiri Walton. I came across it at 2:30 this morning while designing graphics for a local production company. The article hit home not only because of the title and content, but because of Ms. Walton’s background; she moved … Continue reading Why I Also Love Baton Rouge
Dream Log: 12-26-13 — Follow-Up
I’m in the process of writing a book called #SociallyAwkward, a two-part biography aimed at young men who have found themselves in social situations that they can’t seem to find their way out of. I am writing the second part right now, and since some of my future blogs may play into the events that … Continue reading Dream Log: 12-26-13 — Follow-Up
Javan Does Baton Rouge — Quarters
I finally went to Quawtaz! That’s how us NOLA natives say “Quarters.” This is the third installment of my “Javan Does Baton Rouge” series, and in this one, I’m taking you to Baton Rouge’s very own, Quarters. Many cities in America have similar entertainment complexes like this, including the national chain Dave & Buster's. I’ve … Continue reading Javan Does Baton Rouge — Quarters
Javan Does Baton Rouge — Highland Road Park Observatory/International Astronomy Day
April 20th was scheduled to be a big day for me. It was to mark the third launch of my Space Shuttle series (full website here), and it was also to mark the beginning of my Summer tour of Baton Rouge. I can now say that it held true. While I was out, I thought … Continue reading Javan Does Baton Rouge — Highland Road Park Observatory/International Astronomy Day
Long Time, No Post!
Yeah, I've been busy with little to talk about just the same. The Olympics have wrapped up, and I decided to correct the mistake I made in high school--I'm going to join a local track club. When? Not really sure, but soon. I still don't have much to say, but I have many new songs and … Continue reading Long Time, No Post!
Generation F — “F” for “F**ked”
I guess I'll make that my new official name for this current generation that's quickly controlling the world, i.e. today's reckless, irresponsible, impressionable, sex-crazed teens and young adults. If you're into astrology like me, I'm talking about my own Pluto in Scorpio generation, and the following Pluto in Sagittarius generation--Generations Y and Z respectively. These are … Continue reading Generation F — “F” for “F**ked”
