Encore...do you want more!?

Well well, the Penn State football season is coming to an end which means a large portion of the film is coming to a close. This coming weekend is Senior Day at beaver stadium which is the last home game for all the seniors on the squad. It's a moment for tears and celebration of making it through the collegiate athletic career. My senior day was a dud because I didn't get my proper send off but i'll stay away from that topic haha. For my man DC I wish him all the best for this game so he can excite the crowd one last time. Occasionally i'll read peoples status's criticizing and saying that the season is already over because of 2 losses and what not but it's just something to laugh about because these people have no clue on what they're talking about so I suggest they just stick to what they do and know pleasth.

Enough of the madness from me but I'm so glad my great friend and former roommate gave me the opportunity to film his final season and path to the NFL draft because it gives me a chance to learn and show others what it takes to be a successful quarterback in the spotlight. I am curious to see what bowl game the team will make it to this year because of course I will be there and it will be another "mini" vacation for my blackass =). This last weekend at PSU for me will be a good one and I hope to make the best of it because for the next couple months I will be on the road constantly doing my freelance work and filming more of DC training for his next step. I can't speak for the kid but trust me this documentary will be something completely different, and if you know me well enough you can't even begin to imagine what we have in store for the viewers.

Anyway I just want to say Good Luck with this last home game and for the futures of the seniors and my former teammates and whupp some Hoosier ass and then tell em Hoosier' daddy haha. A little corny but who cares. K Byyyyyyyeeeeee

Transformers...robots in disguise

This is going a little over board but I have to admit I'm hooked on Transformers. Every single location I have been in the last 3 weeks, that movie has been around and I can't help but to watch it 3-4 times. I know, I know it's sad because I use quotes from the movie 24-7 and before I go in the shower I act like I transform or something haha. Well the shower thing isn't 100% true but honestly I believe it has taken the #2 spot on my all-time movie list. Swingers remains #1.
Okay, I just wanted to get that out of my system. I'm currently stationed in Harrisburg PA until this coming Friday. The past 2 days I will wake up at a decent hour, cook breakfast and just get to work on the cartoon and my other "secret" project which I guarantee will blow some minds. Speaking of the cartoon and my blog I have come to notice that there are some very quiet followers and it's cool that so many different people see what I'm doing. Saying that, I found it quite interesting that a representative from Comedy Central was interested in the cartoon idea. Now believe it or not I'm a very bright kid and know how to patten ideas and make sure no one can steal my work. Mommy is a lawyer :) so the legal aspect of everything is on lock down. Apparently people that I've met in the past had conversations and somehow my name was brought up about the fresh creative minds in the NYC area. Putting all of this together I have networked myself ever since I was a little baby standing tall amongst boys and took my standout appearance and creativity, then BOOM sparks are created. Not being cocky at all but I'm kind of a big deal, at least to the people that matter for my career sake. Anyway I received an e-mail today from this Comedy Central rep talking about setting up a meeting blah blah blah. So at foist I'm like hells yes lets do this but, I paused and thought "I'm no where near ready to pitch anything yet" I'm a perfectionist and will have to re-read re-write so many things before anything gets released into the media market. It's like that hot girl in high school who is playing hard to get. On the outside the shell is amazing and you just want to get inside.....sorry i don't wanna get dirty on y'all but that's exactly what I'm doing. I'll play as hard as I can because only those close to me know how much heart and effort I put into my work and I'll be damned to settle for the first thing that comes along and screws up my projects.
Soooo...what do I do, set up a "social drinking meeting" where I'll have the upper hand with a public atmosphere and jeans. I'm not ready for this suit look yet haha cause I don't wanna blow anyone away with my seductive looks. I know that my name is buzzing out there and I will keep it buzzing with my random rants, facebook & twitter to keep the mofo's entertained for the time being. But when that time hits I'm goin harder than a 75 year old man who took 4 Viagra hahaha

I'll be blogging again tomorrow to talk about the films progression and Sr. Day coming up "sniff sniff" so stay tuned pleasth...K BYEEEEE

I'm takin off on the road, tell everybody that you know


Packing up the Camry and getting on the road (again). I said I was moving to another location, but I’m not permanently moving anywhere just going away for a couple of weeks to film these last 2 games of the regular season. I thought about going up to PSU on Thursday for the weekend and just driving back home and driving back up again for Sr. Day but that is just extra gas $, mileage, and 8 additional hours on the ole Cam. Thankfully I have some cool friends that will put up with me in the mean time. I considered staying at PSU the entire time but the parking situation would be completely annoying, so I decided to stay with a friend in Harrisburg which is only an hour 30 away from campus so that will be an easier task. There is a negative to me being on the road again, Frenzy Benz will be left behind =(. Every time I leave I notice the attitude change in my cat, like him ignoring me for the first couple of days we reunite to emotionally punish me lol. In time we rekindle our relationship and it’s all good. Wow I’m really obsessed with my cat hahaha.

Oh yes, our first day of staff writing for the cartoon begins on Wednesday evening which should be fun. This will be the time where I have other characters on the show throw in their ideas and opinions on what I’ve created so far. In recent reviews of what I worked on, some have said it’s a mixture of Seinfeld/Family Guy humor & that is exactly what I’m going for. I’m still working on getting this project into a comic book series which becoming a little difficult, but eventually I’ll find a way. Well that’s about it for now, some more random blogs will be posted more frequently now since I’ll have more time to think and ramble on about something. Until next time, take care pleasth.

Goodbye 9 to 5...It's time to ROLL OUT


Well well well…It’s been a while but these last couple weeks have been real busy for a brotha. It was time for me to take matters into my own hands after thinking real long and hard (lol) and put my skills to the test so what did I do? Oh yes I turned in my resignation and began to take advantage of my knowledge and connections and take a shot at this entrepreneur thing. BLACKMAIIN PRODUCTIONS is getting ready to mobilize. This is like being the captain of a team all over again except I’m comfortable now more than ever because the entire team was recruited by me. What struck me as being the biggest boost for this career move was how I was raised. As an only child being raised by a single mother, it leaves a very short time in your life to grow up and become a man. You can ask anyone else that has been in those shoes, it can be very hard without a male figure teaching you the right moves and decisions to make in the early stages of liiiiiife. I honor, love, and respect my mother so much because I think she has done a hell of a job raising me, and has always let me make my own decisions. Of course I’ve made mistakes along the road dating back to when I was seven years old but I have learned from each and every one of them and it has put me in the great position I am in today. Now at the age of 23 I have made the 3rd toughest decision so far in life and throwing in all the marbles and I’ve never felt better or more motivated. Of course the “DC 17 Film” and “4103” are the first two of three projects we will be working on. The 3rd is yet to be announced but I can assure you it’s one to wait for haha. I really do appreciate my co-workers, friends and family for their support when I broke the news to them last week. I always have to thank the people who are/were negative towards me but my same new favorite line goes to those people “YOU’LL NEVER STOP AT ONE, I’LL TAKE YOU ALL ON” hahaha. Well then, giddy up and turn the page because a new chapter is ready to begin. I always said there are a shit load of ideas and creativity in this bald head of mine, and it’s about time I put it on display in a timely manner…LET’S ROLL

I'm bLaCk, black in the New York grooooooove

Finally, I’m back in the regular shwing of things. I wonder how long it will take me to recover from the west coast time zone and to get back on good terms with my cat, who I feel like I haven’t seen for month’s lol. Being in California for a week then flying straight to PSU can definitely drain a person but it’s exactly how I planned events and I refuse to ever complain about my liiiiiiifestyle. Homecoming weekend got a little out of hand on my part haha. After functioning on a different schedule and then trying to get back into college lifestyle for a few days, WOW. Even though I miss those good ol’ days where the after parties was a definite spot to be I just said “it’s time for bed” so I guess I lost a little bit of that spark after being out of school for over a year.

Last week I had posted a comment on Facebook, asking if it was weird to introduce yourself to a person you were Internet friends with, but never met them personally. It was just a random question because I know a lot of people are shy and hide behind their computer screens and status updates and stuff. I am just the exact opposite and I took it upon myself to go about this personal challenge lol. While in the club Sat night I asked a friend to approach a girl whose face I recognized so I can actually meet her. NOW, before this makes it seem bad I had it very well planned…

1) I asked a friend of mine, who everyone could recognized him (& u can probably guess who I’m talking about) 2 approach the girl

2) I told my boy to point me out first and mention that I already knew her name through facebookbutt so it was a clear that was the reason for the convo

3) And last I pulled this move off in a public place so it wouldn’t come off as awkward like in an alley way or outside a public bathroom

So, I had thought I approached the situation rather well, turns out the girl was real rude and just didn’t wanna shake my hand or nothing and it wasn’t like I was even trying to hit on her or anything like that. Just a simple introduction and maybe another person I could spark up a convo with. Turns out she was more interested in the friend of mine who I asked to go up to her, but you win some & you lose some.

Anyway, I doubt my attitude will ever change so if I see someone I recognize you better bet your ass if I don’t know you and I’m in a talking mood you’ll get a visit from the Blackmaiin ;). These next two weeks require no traveling which is excellent but many meetings and cool work stuff will be taking place…HA! I was just completely lying, ill be very busy these next couple of days so look for another post around Thursday pleasth…K BYEEEEEEEEEE
