Do You Got Love For The Urbane Urbanite?

-

Hey Y'all!

*Waves*

So. Earlier this week, I published my 51st post in less than six months. That's a lot for a slow, lazy writer like me.

After I clicked publish, I sat back in my chair, stroked my chin and said, "I think I like this blogging thing. I'll stick around a while."

That being said, I started a little fan page over on Facebook.

I didn't create it to stroke my own ego (I'ont need any help in that department). If I'm being honest, I did it because everyone else has one.

*Shrugs*

And besides, it looks dope on the blog when folks see that tons of other folks like your site. For me, it's about validation.

Here's what I'd like for you to do:

If you've got a Facebook account, simply scroll on down a little bit...

Until you see that little Facebook box on the right hand side of this page...

That has all those pretty smiling faces in it and click the LIKE button.

And you're done! Just like that, with a simple click of the mouse, you've validated me. I'm easy, right?

But there's more!

Anyone who LIKES the fan page is automatically entered into The Urbane Urbanite Fan Page Giveaway!

On October 1, I'll randomly select a fan and s/he will win an iPod shuffle and a $25 iTunes gift card courtesy of yours truly.

Pretty fancy, right?

So go on and click that LIKE button and enter for your chance to win! And tell a friend too!

In the meantime, keep reading and commenting!

Tomorrow on THE URBANE URBANITE, in honor of NYC Fashion Week, I'll be posting one of my favorite looks for fall.

Stay Tuned...

Another good reason to do the Facebook page is to catch people that haven't quite figured out Google Reader or who might forget to visit your blog.

A Conversation With Dad

-

By the time my father was 22-years-old, he was married with a three-year-old son and facing 25 years in jail for armed robbery. With most of his decisions marred by drug use, his life quickly spiraled out of control and we never got a chance to develop a real father/son relationship. Now, after 23 months (and one day) of sobriety, Vincent "Butchie" Conover has a new lease on life and appears to have left his demons behind. What's more, the two of us have started to communicate on a regular basis. I've spoken to him more in the last six months than I have my entire life. But with 30 years of catching up to do, I feel like there's still so much I don't know about my father. In an attempt to get to know him better and subsequently give him a chance to tell his side of the story, I asked him a series of questions. We talk about everything from what he likes to eat and what his favorite colors are to his sexuality and why he chose drugs over being a fa...

Film Review: Red Hook Summer

-

On paper, Red Hook Summer reads like an easy coming-of-age tale. Flik (newcomer Jules Brown), a precocious, spoiled middle-class tween from Atlanta, is dropped off in Red Hook, Brooklyn by his mother (without explanation) to spend the summer with his Baptist preacher grandfather, Enoch (played with gravitas by Clarke Peters), whom he's never met. But the latest joint in Spike Lee's Brooklyn-based oeuvre is anything but simple.

I'm a blessed man. I've got my health. My sanity (sometimes). A job. Bills that get paid on time. Goals. Talents that I nurture. A loving family. And loyal friends. But wanna know what trumps all of that?
