For two solid weeks, I stumbled around with a fever of 103. Along with the fever there were night sweats and the inability to sleep. While most people would have seen this as a signal to seek out medical help, I chose to soldier on and disregard my health. In earlier writings, I have directed… Read More »
When I was nineteen, I pissed blood for two weeks then rode a bus for 12 hours before agreeing to see a doctor. At one point, I lost hearing in one ear but didn’t get it checked out because I was in the middle of directing a play so my health would have to wait.… Read More »
Greetings all, It has been one solid year of eating like I got some sense. One year ago, my doctor spit out an awful diagnosis. High Blood Pressure. Stroke adjacent. Daily Pills. After being pissed off and eating my through a pandemic for five months, I made a decision. I would not be a statistic… Read More »
My first thought when someone says “be reasonable” is always “f%ck you”. However, when asked what my determination would be for a spiritual group, I chose to clean up the language and go for a more sedate- STOP BEING REASONABLE!!! All around the world things go on that seem very unreasonable and we adjust and… Read More »
You’ve been lied to. Your friends and family think your stupid and gullible. They don’t know any better because they’re stupid and gullible. What is all the drama and nonsense about? Money..

Was my grand experiment a failure? Could I haave done things differently? I’d have to say yes and no to the first question and a resounding yes to the second question? My goal was to go thirty days without sugar. https://giphy.com/gifs/6bFN1KkQDYJC8 And regardless of how much I want to blame the food industry for my… Read More »
Maybe I’m running out of ways to lament about my battle. I just heard a challenge that involves not only no sugar but no manufactured meat substitutes. My friend calls it franken meat. Although, I ‘ve let the sugar go (with the exception of what they slip into my yummy oat milk) I’m still eating… Read More »
As I approach the end of this month-long experiment two things are clear. One- I can do this! And Two- I’m a filmmaker ya’ll. I am completing a new documentary on health and black men and was wise enough to document my journey and all that I’ve learned in the process. I’m unsure if this… Read More »
My plan was simple. Eat between 10am and 4pm only. It seemed easy enough and a snap to execute. https://giphy.com/gifs/punch-throat-I2q42mgda7wju But as Mike Tyson would say “everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”. Well my face punch came quick and uninvited. What I failed to consider and plan for was the… Read More »
