Calling All The Shots

Calling All The Shots

It seemed like the ultimate metaphor for where I am in my life right now. Sitting behind the production booth, I communicated with the camera team as I masterfully ran the boards on a live stream I had been contracted to work. These gigs were few and far between, but…

What More Can I Say?

What More Can I Say?

It comes down to the money. I used to believe that if I were born into a wealthy family, then I would’ve conquered the world long ago. But the truth is that I was molded by my struggle. I became who I am because I had no choice but to….

Celebrity Status

Celebrity Status

I couldn’t explain my obsession. Unless you share my vision, I will never make sense to you. You could never understand the self-inflicted suffering that I’ve endured, knowing that if I continued to put this dream of mine at the forefront of all my decision-making, then I would find the…

The Things I’ve Done

The Things I’ve Done

I’ve come to understand something about myself, and my story. As much as I’ve poured out love throughout my journey, and put myself in situations where I had given the best of me to others, there is an underlining factor, a small footnote if you will, that will always plague…

The Movie Business

Opening The Portal

I sat near the edge of the bed, the light from the MacBook screen illuminating my face. Glued to the comment section of a video I had posted 13 years ago, I watched strangers argue with each other over whether or not my impression of a Scarface scene was the…

The Way I Am

The Way I Am

Some might call it a privilege, and in many ways, they’d be correct. Being of a certain caliber has granted me access to things that is out of reach to most people, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to not relish in the advantages that I have. Whether or not I’ve…

Witness Me Now

Witness Me Now

I love alcohol. Going on nearly 2 years sober, I still think about drinking every single day. A $2 tall can could make me feel like I never left, yet I continually choose to not drink. This year didn’t come and go without it’s share of confusion, but hindsight always…

The Never Ending Dream

The Never Ending Dream

Many, many years ago, my dad fell into a coma which lasted weeks, if not months. I remember praying over him in the hospital room as the doctors told us that his chances of survival were slim. He eventually woke up by the grace of God, and this was the first…
