In The Closet Part 2: The Big Reveal

-

A while back, I let you all into my horrendous walk-in closet.

In case you missed it, you can check out the post here.

But after months of procrastinating (and not being able to find things), I finally rolled up my sleeves and got my beloved wardrobe room into tip top shape.

So. Without further ado, sit back, relax and enjoy The Big Reveal!













Not too shabby, huh?

Oh, and remember all of those clothes I didn't know what to do with?






Well, I bagged them up, along with a ton of other stuff I don't wear/need anymore and plan on giving the stuff to a local men's shelter in my neighborhood.



But I did keep my Coogi vest.  I told y'all I cannot and will not part with this thing.  Ever.


So.  There you have it.  Being in the closet is no longer something I dread, but in turn, has become something I actually look forward to. <==== See what I did there?

Now.  This is the part of the post when you leave a comment, patting me on the back for a job well done. Okay?

I'll wait.

@ShaniP @Toni Teague @Jota: Thanks, y'all. Now the tricky part is keeping it clean. I've already got a few things out of place since publishing this post.

*Sigh*

It was ok. I think you could have done a better job with the folding and organizing but you're off to a good start!

A Conversation With Dad

-
Image
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?
