4-27-14 10:54am I’m not sure why my oddest dreams have been happening on Sunday mornings… I was standing on a rooftop downtown filming shots for my school’s TV show--I was developing a new intro. The memory in my phone was filling up, but as I was about to leave, the shadowy figure of a Boeing … Continue reading Dream Log: 4-27-14 — Fight or Flight

Dream Log: 4-6-14 — Get Out of Dodge
I’m late as hell in writing this since the dream happened, like, days ago. Either way, it was still worth sharing. The dream happened Sunday morning, and it was the second of my two most recent ‘driving’ dreams. I understood both, but this current one packed the most punch—literally. It was late at night, and … Continue reading Dream Log: 4-6-14 — Get Out of Dodge
Fashion Dilemma
So I’m in some sort of transition in my life, ranging from my mental health, to career opportunities and of course, fashion. Among those who know me best, I’m famous for my love of skinny jeans. I wear them religiously because out of the entire spectrum of cuts, skinnies (pants with a leg opening no … Continue reading Fashion Dilemma
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
What Can YOU Do for BROWN?
All right, if you’ve skimmed through my last few entries, you’ll remember me talking about a book I was writing. It was called #SociallyAwkward, and it was to be some sort of cautionary tale for the many young men who might be socially inept and don’t like their life as much as they should and … Continue reading What Can YOU Do for BROWN?
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
Dream Log: 12-26-13
This is my first dream log in over a year. It’s the day after Christmas, and it’s also my “half-birthday,” as we called it in elementary school, meaning that I’m exactly six months from my twenty-fifth birthday. I got great presents this year, but the sleep afterwards was so-so. This was the third dream I’ve … Continue reading Dream Log: 12-26-13
“The Bold and the Beautiful” — Steffy’s Back (And Her Minions, Too)
The 'minions' comment is simply tongue in cheek. Carry on. You know what makes my ass hurt? Politics, viral videos, today's music, cephalopods (Google it) and the endless debate of Steffy vs. Hope on Bold and the Beautiful. I won't even lie--I didn't know Steffy was coming back today. But like clockwork, the conversation quickly … Continue reading “The Bold and the Beautiful” — Steffy’s Back (And Her Minions, Too)
Why I Watch Reality TV
As a culture, we’ve become obsessed with reality TV—these “real,” heavily pre-planned shows (not scripted, because there’s a difference) that steal at least sixty minutes of our time on a daily basis. We’ve become so obsessed that their stars are now household names, have become legitimate celebrities whether we like it or not, and their … Continue reading Why I Watch Reality TV
