This morning I was having breakfast with my friend Bob. When we were finished eating, he went to leave out of the back door. The door was marked "EMERGENCY EXIT" along with the warning that an alarm would sound if opened. I stopped him before he opened it and explained what would happen. Just as I was finishing, I caught myself and said "I am not sure the alarm will sound so let's try it!! He pushed on the door and it opened it. We both braced for the alarm. It never came. We both smiled knowing there was a lesson it what just happened. We waved bye to each other and went our way. I have been eating at this restuarant for 5 years now. Most days I sit near the emergency exit. I just believed the alarm would sound if the door was opened. I was conditioned to walk to one of the other doors. I wonder how many other "DOORS" have me conditioned to not attempt to open them. What am I missing? All my goals and desires may be on the other side. There also my be alarms! What do you think?

These pictures are from our family Thanksgiving dinner! Dude in the blue shirt is my little brother. The other two are my first cousins. We went for the gangster pose on these. The only problem is I have NO gangster in me!! My younger family members still have to mean mug people almost daily. Not me! Although we all grew up in Long Beach California, I am what real gangster call - FRIENDLY. I kept smiling in the pictures. I wish you could have been there because it was very funny. Are you a real "OG" or a Facebook Gangster. Me - I am just friendly. I did stick my chest out on one of the pictures. The circles I run in need no MEAN MUG

I met B.o.B about 3 years ago at The Core DJ's retreat as a relatively new artist hanging out with industry vet, TJ Chapman. He hit the stage and blew the crowd away singing club anthem, "Hater's Everywhere". There were also other up and coming Hip Hop acts. Now a days, 3 years is a life time in Hip Hop. Everyone else who was on the stage is no longer around. Bobby Ray is the truth and one of the most humble dudes in the industry. I remember meeting other young acts who had a little buzz and some radio play and you couldn't say anything to them! Most have fallen off. B.o.B's team is complete and they have moved this dude along strategically, letting the young man mature. (Like real A&R's did back in the 80's). His talent, hard work and persistence is paying off. Having TJ Chapman of TJsDJs and Grand Hustle in your corner can only help. Check out his latest single and let me know what you think.

If you have not been to a Eric Roberson concert, you do not know what you are missing! This was shot in Dallas the last time he was here. Eric has one of the most intimate live shows I have every seen. I enjoy his concerts as does the rest of the crowd. Let me know what you think

 ThirdCousinsMedia is working with Outright Fitness in Austin, Texas. Dave, one of the owners and trainers does a great job at encouraging people to reach their goals. Most boot camps emulate the style of the Marines (Dave served in the US Marines). The good people at Outright Fitness, seek to build their clients and help them reach their goals rather than holler and shame them into it. That's a big reason they have the a lot of the same people in class that I met back in August when I took the class myself. The other bootcamps on Town Lake in Austin had all new students. I think the wash out rate is higher when you are getting cussed out. There is a place for the hollering and cussing in the military - when you have to save each other's lives. As adults we just need some exercise and encouragement! Let me know what you think

I often wake up and get to the office by 4 AM. It is the time when my mind is wondering and thinking about random stuff. Here is a video from last Saturday about the truth. People think they want to hear the truth but often can't handle it. Let me know what you think

One of my favorite artist to listen to is Roy Ayers. He is a perfect example of a artist who revolutionize his field of music. Yet at 21 years old I have never heard of him. That is until artist like ED OG and Bulldogs, Mary J. Blige and Pete Rock started sampling his music. A lot of the older artist who had their music sample chose to hate. Roy embraced the new generation of artist. He even credits Mary J Blige for bringing in back in to style  (and to a great financial situation). I do not understand artist like James Mtume who hate sampling. Sampling my me a life long fan of Roy Ayers. Daddy O said it best on 'Talking All That Jazz" -"Tell the truth, James Brown got old until Eric B and Rakim came out with I Got Soul"

I have been watching the production value of major media outlets for a long time. Since the Social Media movement has taking media production by storm, I have been telling anyone who would listen that you cannot over-produce web video. I can finally point to a major organization who understands this! The NBA is known as a marketing machine. The production value is normally very high. When it is too high, it loses it authenticity. Look at this video of the best two players in the game today. Since it is done in a authentic way, it comes across very good. Some of the lighting is bad, some the camera work is shaky but the clip is a three pointer! Tell me what you think
