Today is my brother’s Birthday so we’re out in LA havin fun and enjoying life. Considering the fact that we landed in LA over an 1hr later than expected and arrived aound 1:30 am last night/this mornin to my Downtown apartment, I’m sure you’ll excuse the shortness of this post. So we will be back later this week to detail our trip and why everything took so long. Until then, show my brother, Daniel K. Hunter some love for his Birthday! Happy Birthday to you sir!...
Good One Tasha

7th Grade Math Class. I was called to the front of the class to write on the overhead (remember those?) and solve the math problem that was on the worksheet. The finest girl in 7th grade was Tasha. Tasha was in my math class. I had on my fresh Shawn Kemp sneakers along with some light blue...
5 Reasons Why I Switched to the iPhone
posted by Daniel K. Hunter
1. I had the Samsung Galaxy 1 for almost 3 years and desperately needed an upgrade. 2. T-Mobile finally got its act together and decided to hop on the iPhone train. 3. I’ve been a Mac user since high school so getting an iPhone 5 felt like the right move instead of the Samsung Galaxy 4. Speaking of which… 4. The Samsung Galaxy 4 is TOO BIG. 5. Alicia Keys couldn’t convince me to get a Blackberry. Especially when we all know what you’re really using… What’s your device of choice? Are you rocking with the iPhone or Android? Windows maybe?...

A Colorful Time at the Movies
posted by David Hunter Jr.
It’s just past the halfway point of May and this is usually the time where we see many BLOCKBUSTER films. We’ve already seen one come out as IRON MAN 3 continues it’s climb on the Box Office list. The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio was released just this past weekend and the next big movie is Star Trek which opened up last night at midnight. The very last “Blockbuster” of the month comes from the Will Smith camp as he teams up with his son Jaden for another epic journey which looks really good. Check out this trailer for “After Earth“. Now while these films are going to get the major...
The not so Morning Person
posted by Daniel K. Hunter
A quick little exercise I did while riding on the train. My version of a sketch. Hope you enjoy. -DKH 6:30am Lauren woke up minutes before her nagging cell phone alarm went off. This meant she had ample time to stumble across the room to her dresser, stepping on top of a crusted plate coated with lasagna remnants along the way. The cold sticky red paste on the bottom of her foot coupled with a garlic stench did very little to wake her up. She snatched her iPhone off of the dresser, brought it back to bed and shut the alarm off. Her cell phone had been moved to it’s new location the day before due to weeks of getting up too late. ...
Capital Cities
posted by Daniel K. Hunter
Last week the LA based group known as Capital Cities gave one of the best live performances I’ve seen all year. The sold out crowd packed into the intimate Irving Plaza that was just big enough for us to do “The Shuffle”, the group’s signature dance that even rhythmically challenged folks can pull off. It was a fun time to say the least. My legs were killing me from doing CrossFit the night before, yet I found myself dancing all over the room which had turned into a 1980s dance party. I’m also a sucker for jazz influences in other genres of music. Band members Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian started out as...
For The Mothers
posted by David Hunter Jr.
Hope all you of beautiful people had a Great weekend! Especially all the Mothers as we celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday! Whether you’ve been a Mom for 75 years or 3 months, “once a Mom, Always a Mom.” Words my Mother would constantly repeat to me everytime that I told her I was a grown man when I was 18. I also want to show some love to all of the Motherly figures. Those Women who may not have birthed a child of their own but have always been there for us with an encouraging word or a stern correction. Special thanks and recognition also needs to be shown to all of the Single Moms out there raising “not 1, not 2...
