A Day on 40 Deuce (old blog)

Today Franky and I went to 42nd Street to pass out HarlemLive fliers. We had to pass out 400 fliers total in as little time as possible. Yesterday, Deft Fusion took 1 hour and 33 minutes to pass out the 400 fliers, but today Franky and I did it in 48 minutes. It wasn't that difficult to pass out the fliers, I just had to deal with people's attitude. One guy even snatched a flier, and I was gonna off his kofi but I was like let me chill cause I was on camera. Jose and Darryl videotaped and took pictures of us while we handed out the fliers. Hopefully, we win the flier contest, but I have confidence that we will.

Wednesday, August 1, 2007 (old blog)

Hello to the online world once again. the last couple days at Harlem LIVE have been very calm an quiet. This is the time when Team Swagg should be getting a lot of work don, because there aren't any distractions. Unfortunately, some of my team members have not grasped the concept of attendance. It has also come to my attention that we are behind on blogs. This really got me mad because we are behind on one of the easiest ways to get points. This is not even my blog day, but I can't have my team afford to lose any more points, especially after Hasha Gure is pulling away with the lead and Deft Fusion is quickly catching up to us. All we have to do is be willing to write stories, blogs, and attend classes to get as many points as possible. It really isn't that hard, we just have to be hungry. Today was also the last day of Wednesday classes with John McKay on public speaking. I feel this class has prepared me more for the final presentation, even though I was already a good public speaker. I can remember my first day walking in the door at HL, and it is crazy that it is almost over already. I don't know how I've been living in Harlem for damn near 17 years and am just finding out about Harlem Live. It is a great program for the youth in the city to join. I have a few interesting stories I'm working on, but you'll have to wait until I'm done to find out. This place makes me feel like I'm a real journalist lol. That would be crazy if I had to chance to sit in at a post game press conference for the MLB or NBA or something. Matter of fact, I'ma look into doing that. I'll get back at y'all in a couple of days, and keep you all posted.

Movie Star REEF (old blog)

YOOOOOOO everybody, I just found out I'ma be an actor. LOL, y'all probably wondering wtf I'm talking about but today here at HL, two people came in to talk to me and some other students about a movie they're producing. The movie is about a slave burial ground downtown that was noticed when construction workers discovered human bones. A museum being built on the site will show the movie for years after it is finished. And you all will be able to see my brilliant acting skills. HA HA. You know I've pondered acting before, maybe this will be my big break. Just kidding, but I am definetely looking forward to doing this. When I realized I'm going to be in this movie, I immediately remembered the time I was on Reading Rainbow in my younger days. Yeah that's right, I was on that show on Channel 13. I was one of the kids discussing a children's book at the end of the show. So watch Channel 13, and maybe y'all see me u dig. I know the part HL will have in the movie will be great, so I'm not even worried. Holla at y'all later. I'm bouncin, I'm out son.
