Hitting My Stride …

nullYou know how most shows hit their stride during their third season, making the first two irrelevant or just plain dull by comparison?

You also know how once an actor signs a long term deal, his skills start to fade and they rest on their laurels and the show’s quality dwindles ever-so-slightly with each passing episode?

Yeah, well … that WON’T be me. Nope. I refuse to get lazy and feel too comfortable in one spot. I refuse to let myself or my readers down. I promise to stay on my toes and stay on the cutting edge.

Da hell does all of this mean? Glad you asked. LOL

It means that, just as was done after Season One — when along with some of my blogger friends, we started a “blog-elution,” moving over to the relatively new community known as Blogsome one year ago — it’s time for this season to end. And oh, what a season it was!!! Twelve of the fullest months of my lifetime to date.

Now, though, it’s time to place my thoughts onto a new tablet, mark some new territory so as not to get lax and take that time for granted.

Gotta keep it fresh. Gotta keep it interesting. Gotta keep it going.

Put it this way: If my first season was the WB, and my second was UPN, this coming season I’m gonna combine the innocence of Year One with the depth of Year Two and form my own personal CW (where, just like the fledging network, I promise to only talk about black people on Sunday evenings … LOL).

Look for me. Fresh look, fresh thoughts, even a fresh new name … but still the same ole Will. Ain’t nothin’ gonna change but the address.

If I were you, I’d ride with me. I’m just hitting my stride.

For info on where Season Three will be airing in your area, please leave your email address in the comments section and I promise to hook you up.

Much respect, my peoples. See you at the launch party! ;)

Peace!

Can’t Get Enough

Filed under: Music, On My Mind ...

nullIf you have the latest Mary CD, “The Breakthrough,” take a few minutes (literally, the song is like 3 minutes long) to check out the cut “Can’t Get Enough.” The beat is ridiculous.

Me and my friend Pam sat at a party once and just kept replaying the song and bopping to the beat. It’s hypnotic when it’s turned up high.

Sure, we were both intoxicated at the time, which most likely dulled our senses to the horrible job Mary does singing the song, but still … I like it.

In fact, I can’t get enough. LOL

(I’m still away for work, but I couldn’t leave the page empty. Be back next week … Oh, and remind me to tell the airport story. Classic stuff. Shout out to STRO.KERS!!! You treated me well … )

Your Favorite Game Show is “Blank”

This week, the Game Show Network (GSN) began airing a series determining the “50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time.”

Can I just say how much I love this network? To think that there’s a channel totally devoted to playing games just … just … makes me smile. This is the network that has such a variety of show hosts, Wink Martindale and Chuck Woolery now share a lunchroom with friggin’ Danny Bonaduce!!! Whew, can you imagine the conversations?!?!? Love.it. The only network that airs game shows that were originally broadcast when I was four years old.

How can life get any better?!?!?
