Which Option Do You Choose?

I was on the subway today with my cute wife after a shopping trip all around NYC.

A woman came on begging for money, which is a usual occurrence of course, but she said something that made me ask myself a question... what's your answer?



Which Option Do You Choose? - YouTube: "



So, as you go about your day, ask yourself where you are limiting yourself, and then help someone ELSE escape the same limitation!



That's what I'm doing with Entreperformers, and maybe you want to help me?

Excuses and Expectations Destroyed by This 80-Year Old

Excuses, Destroyed.

Expectations, Destroyed.



And I'm Crying:



Spectacular Salsa - Paddy & Nico - Electric Ballroom | Britain's Got Talent 2014 - YouTube: "



You can see this woman and her partner being laughed at, and patronized

by the judges and the audience.



Then the whole thing changes, and by the time she speaks near the end of the video,

I was crying happy, but empathetic tears.



So the question is- Who is Doubting YOU?

and what's worse- when other people do it., or when YOU do it to yourself?



YOU CAN GO FOR IT- I believe in you!!

Fame, Acting, and Porn

Some people want Fame, so they become Actors, thinking that it leads to fame.
I might.

But I have a better idea for them...

Some people think that if they just get famous, then all of their problems would be solved:

They'd Be Rich

People Would Like Them

And They'd Finally Get The Respect They Deserve.

So, they want to become an Actor.

They think, "hey, if I become a successful actor, then I'll be famous!". They are wrong of course, because there are many non-famous actors.

And these people are cluttering up the audition rooms with their stupidity.

Instead, I think if you wanna be famous, be a porn star.

That's a lot of work too, but at least you have a better shot at it- you can go directly to the consumer that way too!

Laurence Fishburne's Daughter went this route, and it didn't work out all that well for her... yet- but then again so did Kim Kardashian.

You tell me- what do YOU think?

I had a chat with someone today, and I had to get this off my chest- let me know what you think.

The Brown Eye Blue Eye Experiment

The Brown Eye Blue Eye Experiment

I spend a lot of energy making white people feel comfortable around me.



There, I said it. I have been keeping this a secret for a while now, but I realized it recently when I was in the elevator with someone who was obviously nervous about being alone with me. Now, I was in an elevator in my own building, where I have lived my entire life.



MY ENTIRE LIFE.



I saw her nervousness, and in a higher-than-my-normal-voice pitch, made a joke, self-deprecated (word?), smiled, and giggled.



I believe in doing this anyway, just to make people's day better, but I noticed that day where it came from.



I was worried for her, and wanted her to feel better.



I could be wrong, and I wish I could say that she was nervous because she found me SO attractive. That's probably a better way to imagine it.



But either way, I did it because I was confident that she was nervous because I am a man of color.



And then here's the part that hurt.



My beautiful wife is pregnant right now, and I had the thought that I hope our child looks more like her (white), so that I don't have to teach that skill to my boy.



It's a good skill; how to make other people feel comfortable in your presence, but I just think he'd be better off without needing it the way feel I do.



That's a pretty heavy confession, and kinda sad, and I choked up a bit when I told Laura that.



She did too.



And even weirder is that for all of those feelings that I have, I'm relatively light-skinned, the vast majority of my friends are white, and for most of my life, I'm the "whitest" of my non-white friends.



To the Latinos I'm pretty watered-down, and to the blacks, I'm kind of an honorary member.



So, if I were REALLY dark, I would probably be even funnier and friendlier!



Or not, and after a while you just say "fuck it", and give into the expectations.



And the girl who leaves in the video isn't just showing her ability to remove the stigma, but also the ability to just leave "the system" that berates her and hates her...



Which is a decision a lot of my people of color make.



But it's ALWAYS a person's individual choice, and always a matter of personal responsibility.



So I'm going to keep on smiling, and not worry about WHY someone needs me to.

The Kindness Virus- Spread The Love!

Look Out!

Don't look now, but there's a VIRUS going around...
and it just might change everything!

This is a short ebook I wrote originally for Kindle, but now it's available in PDF form, and all I'm asking for it is a "Share" with the new "Pay With A Post" app. Seriously a GREAT idea, and I figured what better ebook to start things with!

Help spread the Kindness Virus!

If you're the type of person who believes in KINDNESS,

then you have to SPREAD IT!

Thank You!
