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.

“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
