Throwback Dedan.

Looking through all the photos of myself, I realized there is a common characteristic about me.

Is amicable the word I'm looking for? In this picture, I'd just gotten off my shift at Finish Line and went for Boba Smoothies with my co-workers. I'm imitating a comical manger of ours. This was more than two years ago. Before my goatee. Back then, My Livestrong band was on the left wrist. Now its been on my right. And also, I was constantly plagued by acne due to the constant wearing of my New York Yankees cap. I haven't grown much, my beard just makes me look older. Oh, and I exceeded the holes on that belt long ago.

Gray(T) Christmas.

The older I get, the better Christmas seems to be. Despite the gray clouds and rain showers, today was a good day, word to Ice Cube. It's good to know families around the world are together, united. The best thing about today was seeing two homeless men eating a meal together on a Bus bench in Venice. That put a heartfelt smile on my face. Today is more about appreciating your friends and family than receiving gifts. However, when I was a kid, you already know that Christmas list was 5 pages long, front and back. I'm talking about Batman, The Batmobile, The Batcave, Batman's Motorcycle...all of that!

Andy put me on Shawshank Redemption. It's about a quiet banker unjustly convicted of murder. This movie plays around Hope(JAYY!) The plot, story, and acting are all on point. If I had three hands, I'd give it 4 thumbs up. It's a must-watch.
