Maybe We’re Crazy…

My Tribute To Gnarles Barkley’s “Crazy” (as it pertains to my journey). I remember the first time I went to Venice Beach after moving to Los Angeles. At that point, I didn’t know anyone in town, and I was more or less a loner. But this was Los Angeles, pre Covid-19. Anything that I could

Kanye West vs. Chrisette Michele

What’s up everyone! Yes, I’ve been away for a while, as I am still getting acclimated to my new surroundings.  Things are going swell and I am adjusting well.  I plan to get back to blogging regularly very soon. I was recently sent this article, the author is a really good friend of mine. His

Discovering Your Happy Place

The Definition of Freedom Is An Individual Understanding One of my favorite places in Los Angeles is Venice Beach.  That area is pretty much an amalgamation of every culture and subculture that you can imagine.  I call it the “Hippie Haven” because the people who live and work on Venice Beach are so free.  They

Finding Your Inner Strength

It Takes Strength To Be Strong I’ve been away from Afrologik for the last couple of weeks, and I apologize for that.  As I’ve written in former articles, I was in the process of moving to Los Angeles.  The weeks leading up to that transition kept me very busy (as I’m sure you all can

The Power of Influence: What Kind of Impact Do You Have On Others?

4 Reasons Why “They” Don’t Know What They’re Talking About

Experts And Professors of Nothing When it comes to things that other people are dealing with, we’re all experts.  It’s very easy to analyze and diagnose other peoples problems from the outside, because it seems that we have a view of the bigger picture that the person going through it cannot see, which is not

Knowing Your Worth: Define Yourself

You Are Priceless Lately, a couple of my friends have been talking about this guy that we all know (or at least, know of).  He’s the type of person who is all ego — no substance.  I doubt if anyone really knows who he really is.  He’s so obsessed with what he has that the

Living To The Rhythm of Life

Finding A Groove That You Can Dance To I was playing around with my youngest son, Chris this evening, and I asked him to help me come up with a topic to  write about.  As we began tossing ideas around, a conversation commenced that went like this: Chris: What’s going on with you right now?
