Sega Genesis

While cleaning my room, I found my old Sega Genesis!! I'm not a real videogame head but I know I have something legendary on my hands lol. I haven't played it since I was like 8. I still have mad games like Street Fighter, Sonic, and Vectorman to name a few. I even have NBA Live 97!! Wow. I used to play with the Bulls. That was back when Michael Jordan was never in the videogames but they had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman haha. Anyway, the only thing is I'm missing an S Cable to plug into the tv. At least I think it's called an S Cable. If anyone knows what kind of cable it is or where I can find it, let me know. Gladly appreciate it.

Zebrahead

This is my favorite movie of all time. I felt a certain connection with the film, being of mixed race. I appreciated how the movie depicted different races united through Hip-Hop. Not to mention the main character's name is Zack and is Jewish like me lol. In my opinion, this film is not acknowledged the way it should be. If you ask me, it's a classic and a must see. May I add, Nas' first single "Halftime" was featured on the Zebrahead Soundtrack!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my 20th birthday. The big 2-0 lol I spent most of the day with my girl. We had a fun, eventful day. The night before she took me to a jazz club called Smoke which is located between 104th and 105th Street and Broadway. The club provided a small, intimate setting. We both had an Alaskan Salmon dish which was great and the band we saw peform was even better. Major props to the band, especially the drummer Johnathon Blake. Dude was nasty on the drums. I'm trying to take drum lessons with him. Today, me and my girl chilled around the city and hung out in Lincoln Square. Overall, I had a lot of fun and a great birthday.

Illmatic

This is my favorite Hip-Hop album of all time. The lyricism, delivery, and imagery that Nas brought to the game is something that can never be dublicated. Go get it if you don't already have it. Classic!

Jazz Standard with Steve Wilson, The Sirius String Quartet, and my long lost cousin

I met my cousin, Donald Hunt, for the first time yesterday at the Jazz Standard Club in Manhattan. He performed there with the Jazz Standard Youth Orchestra, the Sirius String Quartet, and saxophonist Steve Wilson. The Jazz Standard provides an opportunity for young musicians to play every Sunday helping spread jazz to the youth(I played for the JSYO for two years). It was nice to meet a relative that is heading in a positive direction, especially a relative around my age. He's 18 and will be studying Jazz at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He plays cello and along with music is a talented basketball player. Be on the look out for my cousin!
