Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. 

The human experience happens in the gray area between light and dark; between knowing and not knowing. Living in this realm is not without its associated costs. It’s actually very…

Hey, what's up? 

I’m a self-proclaimed International Playboy. Whenever I say that to people they automatically think “playa”, “womanizer”, “gigolo” etc. It’s funny to me how unimaginative we are at times as human beings. I guess we forget there are…

Hey, what’s up? 

Hope you had a good week! 

It’s interesting how pain and trauma are a part of the human experience. I suppose that's why the opposite is true, that we get to experience pleasure and joy. However, in…

Hey, what's up? 

I always wondered what gave great people the gall to think and dare to be great. It could be anything, I suppose. One thing I’ve learned is that spark has to come from within. 

The light bulb…

Hey, what’s up? 

I hope you had a good week. 

Despite all the knowledge we’ve accrued as a species, it awes me how much of a mystery we are to ourselves. We have no idea what we are or who…

I hope you had a great week. 

I remember when I experienced my first heartbreak, it really hurt. At the time, I thought I knew what love was. I was upset mainly because my sweetheart had taken…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. 

Life is very unpredictable; this is something we deal with as human beings. There is so much uncertainty one can become very despondent and depressed when uncertainty becomes hopelessness. 

Years…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a good week. 

Growing up in Ghana, we used to make our own toys. We'd make soccer balls from old socks and newspapers. We also made cars from old tin cans and many…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a good week. 

When I was much younger, I had a lot of friends; or so I thought. Friendships were a lot more shallow for me then. I guess I hadn't been through…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. 

Perhaps I'm too idealistic, as I've been told over and over. At this point, there's no changing that. A captain must go down with his ship if his fate is…

Hey, I hope you're having a good week! 

I used to be the type of person that would say, "why do black people only get a month to celebrate our history." 

I have since realized that that mentality is a…

I hope you had a great week. 

Life was already hard for a lot of people before the pandemic. Now it just seems impossible. It's as if angst, anger, uncertainty, and fear are the prevailing sentiments echoed…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a good week. 

If you've ever had a first love, you know how it feels like when it ends. Then you overcome that, however long it takes only to enter another one. This…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. I've always been a fan of looking good. Nice clothes always make you feel good until they don't. I realized this painful truth very early on when my quest to…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a good week. This week's song is about identifying and accepting your brilliance. When I was in grade school, the kids who used to get good grades always got teased. Kids used to…

Hey, what's up? 

I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year! May this year be a whole lot better than last! 

I know 2020 was a year that changed the lives of every single human being on the…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great holiday week. 

This season is a time of gathering and honoring those relationships we hold dear in our lives. If we really understood how finite these relationships were, would we value…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. This week's song is about being oneself and which self to be. We're in the time of year where we start thinking about our lives and how to improve as…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week. Life is no cakewalk, if you've been alive long enough you already know this. Sometimes, you have to be your own cheering squad in order to remain sane and keep…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week!

This week's "The Me Collective" explores the idea of the actualization of human potential. Human beings are extremely creative and adaptable creatures, capable of amazing feats, both positive and negative…

Hey, what's up? 

I hope you had a great week!

This week's song is about a man who has decided to take the plunge. No relationship is ideal. Perhaps an ideal relationship is one fraught with problems, yet these problems…

Hey, what's up? 

Another phenomenal week! I hope you had a great one. 

Last week's song was a little "risque" which is what I was told by some. I get it. But I'm also a man, and to deny that…

Hey, 

I hope you had a great week!

Our lives in these times are challenging. No doubt about that. I find music to be a release from the doldrums of mundane living. Not an escape, but a release knowing full…

Hey, 

I hope you're having a great weekend.

I've finally been able to solve the email issue. Here is a link to last week's song. 

"Hope" is a note-to-self, a song about the power of perspective and how changing my…
