WhatHOVA


So today I was actually sat down and listened to The Game's track that dissed Jay-Z.
The Game made this track to Jay-Z because Hov threatened to boycott (including Beyonce) the BET Award if Chris Brown performed. Apparently Jay-Z and like 2.3 other people are still upset about Chris Brown and Rhianna...I'm not condoning Chris Brown but he and Rhianna are cool, what's the point of everybody else being mad or least trying to stir something...ok I'm getting way off topic here, back to the track itself
.
Pretty okay track in my opinion but that thing that go me was at the end, The Game said Jay-Z and got into a fight with Kanye West backstage at a concert. Interesting stuff right? So I decided to hit the good media take out and see what's up. Apparently the two were at a concert in the UK...Kanye wanted to close the show and bring Jay-Z out as well, but Hov had other plans instead...he wanted to close the himself...without DOLO!! The two got into a screaming match and Jay-Z left without performing.

In my opinion my man Hov is smelling himself a bit too much, I mean he has the money and the chick but still... I'll leave it at that, just hopes he comes down off his high horse pretty soon. That's still my boy though.

Happy 5th Anniversary to The AP Network

Since the beginning of the year, I've been writing a series called Forever & A Day (www.foreverdandday.com). I use it as a way to enhance my writing skills and it's been a really big help. A few months ago I discovered that I wasn't the only person who wrote a online series either. In fact they're are few networks out there also, but the one that grabbed my attention was the Absolute Production Network. (www.oswmagazine.com)

The Absolute Production Network has a few more series like mine with excellent writers who give great feedback and plenty good advice. This week the AP Network is celebratin 5 years of operation. Pretty good stuff I have to say, the this network has really came a long way since I joined and I'm glad to say I'm apart of it. Visit it and they're plenty of good reads!!!!


HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY

An Actress Is A Female Version of a Actor



Veteran actress and my future wife Nia Long went on singers turned actor and actresses. A British magazine asked Long how she felt about Beyonce' acting and she responded, "It’s about, ‘How much box office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people - we won’t name names - they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes'. "If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap. If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you.

Now many people took this as a shot at Beyonce but I beg the differ and I feel where she's coming from. She defending her job, think about if some random person who had no experience came in and took your job. Be pretty pissed right? I don't knock a person for trying to make money but if you don't know what you're doing (no shot at Beyonce or anyone else) you should stick to what you know best and let others who do...do their thing.

I did say I was going to marry Nia Long right??

Rescue Rob

I'll admit...I hit my first mid-life crisis. Decisions...Decisions...Decisions!
After high school I made a half ass plan for my life. * Note I said "half ass"* In a bout three years...meaning now that plan fell through.

My dream was to become a News Director and help inform people on the issues going on in the world and at least attempt to make it a better place.

The first blow to knock down my plan was my Newswriting professor Dr. Valerie Nieman. She's a very great creative writer and have picked a few awards. She tapped into something that wanted me to explore the world of writing. Crazy, right? But yeah it's true I started writing small short stories and continued writing fake news articles, building my craft.

The second and final blow was my internship this summer at WXII in Winston Salem, great people and I gain a massive amount of experience. I had no idea how to report or produce a good news cast so that put me a head of the game. It also made me realize news was something I didn't want to go into. (Still a back up plan though.)

So up until June I had it all planned out until I turned 21 and realized I wanted more out of life, but I wanted to play a huge role in people lives. I'm no activist or anything like that but I would like to inspire people, so why not write...So that's what I'm going to do.

I finally decided my game plan after college, I want to be a Televison Executive Producer and Writer. TV is the best way to influence people...hence the word *Swag & people wanting to be Gucci* :( So the midlife crisis is over people I got it together and expect more from me.

I'M BACK!!!!
