Now as many of my viewers know, I LOVE music and take great joy in posting Songs that move the soul and inspire creativity. It wasn’t until today that I stopped to realize that one of my ICONS will no longer exist on this planet. For most of us, Michael Jackson was a great Musician and Song Writer that took his Videos and Albums to limits only he would’ve imagined. By now I’m sure we are all worn out by the Drama and News circulating around the sudden death of “Pop Cultures” greatest gift, but I felt I must express how deeply sadden I am to witness this tragedy. To me, Michael was invincible and it seemed that he was larger than life. After hearing news of his death, I immediately started thinking about all the times that Michael touched me in my 24 years of life, and I lost track (Heck! I was “THRILLER Michael” for Halloween last year!). All I hope is that Michael Jackson will be remembered for the HOPE, LOVE and IMAGINATION that he spawned into our WORLD. NO ONE EVER LOVED AS MUCH AS HE. It was He who taught the children of my generation to love one another. It was He who taught me how to Dance! It was He who first sprang the thought of LOVE into my adolescent mind. It was He who opened my eyes to Charisma and Confidence, and I AM eternally grateful for the GIFTS that he gave so unwillingly to OUR WORLD. Say what you want to say but I will stand by Michael Jackson for the rest of my life on Earth and there after. I look forward to the day when I will be reunited with his presence and at that time, you better believe I will ask him for some DANCING LESSONS! May GOD BLESS Michael’s Children and the entire Jackson Family. Now it is my HONOR to play MY ALL TIME FAVORITE Michael Jackson Video…”Remember the Time”. This will be a Michael Jackson first on SethsWorld.net but certainly not the last.

This week me and my little brother Jarriel, celebrated our One Year Anniversary as a match.  I must say that this has been an amazing year for both of us.  Spending time with this little man brightens up my days ,and he continually brings joy to my life.  Over the last year I have watched him become more out spoken and courageous.  He has really come a long way and I look forward to his progress in becoming a well rounded young man.  As for me, a Big Brother has brought a whole new spectrum to my life and I encourage all to get involved in this program.  There is a large population of children that are desperate for a friend to talk to and to dream with.  The greatest gift as a Big has truly been the delight of helping my little achieve his dreams and dream bigger.  ENCOURAGEMENT is key and I now understand first hand, the power of  positive encouragement.

Yesterday I was driving back to my place and I noticed a new little eatery in Downtown Reno and had to stop by!,  “Freemans Natural Hotdogs”.  When I walked in I was greeted by a young dude named “Darnell” who was jammin’ on some “Lil Wayne & Yung Money”.  I briefly scanned the menu and immediately settled on my choice, “The Ditrty South Dawg”. This Hot Dog included : All Natural Beef Dog, BBQ Sauce, Crumbled Bacon, Browned Onions and Fetta Cheese; All packed into a Onion Sesame Seed bun.  Once I received my dog, I immediately took a huge bite and was satisfied completely with all the flavors totally owning my taste buds!  Freeman’s was an awesome experience and I would recommend this eatery to anyone who wants to explore the amazing combination’s of the All-American Classic Hot Dog taken to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL! If you like Hot Dogs or want to try a “REAL” DOG..check it out…You will thank me later! For more details on the menu, please visit: www.fnhotdog.com

There are many Reno Residents that unfortunately will never take the time to visit one of the most beautiful places in the Northern Nevada Valley.  The Truckee River runs directly through the city of Reno and provides a vital environment & habit which supports most all of our beautiful Birds, Fish, Amphibians, Insects and Rodents.

I am fortunate enough to live within minutes of the Truckee River in Downtown Reno ,and often take evening walks down this meandering river.  During my walks I frequently see Beavers, Ducks of all species, Raccoons, Frogs, Crayfish, and of course Trout, which most of the time I cant help but cast a line in the water!

I have come to the realization that some residents of Reno, share my same passion and love for aquatic environments, and I have quickly made friends with the fellow fisherman and river rats. Growing up in Texas, I was introduced to the fresh water lakes of the South and all the species that contributed to the complex ecosystem of a fresh water lake but I am ONLY NOW truly understanding the beautiful components of the fresh water river.  I find it amazing that creatures can live in an environment that is consistently changing not to mention the intense flow of the snow melted waters.  Most all creatures of the river have adapted to survive in this element; powerful swimmers, vibrant colors of the earth’s floor, and amazingly alert instincts.  The more time I spend at the river, the more Mother Nature introduces me to her children.  I encourage all to take some time to visit the Truckee River and if you look hard enough you will see a wide array of creatures and mammals living in a harmonious circle of life, looking ever so curiously right back at you ! Enjoy the photos…more to come.

This video was commissioned by AIGA Maine for use as an interstitial between speakers at their Compost Modern conference in Portland, Maine on May 9th of 2009. It is traditional stop-motion animation, shooting two frames for one on a Nikon D70 DSLR and then edited in Final Cut Pro. The music was graciously provided by Au Revoir Simone. Beth Taylor, from Longstocking Design was the film’s art director and co-producer.

For all you people that didn’t know…THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL EVER!…..PERIOD!

My Essentials. GOT TO HAVE EM’!  Come on Summer…Here I come! Once again if you don’t have Q-Tip’s new album “The Renaissance”….GET IT!!!!!! HOT! It’s all I need.

This is a Classic South Park skit that I enjoyed during my College Days!  My dear friend David Stewart and I would watch this skit over and over again in tears of laughter.  The best part about this skit is the word “Tree Fitty”…It reminds me of my Grand Parents!!! I love them…They crack me up.

Today was one of the moments in my life that I will never forget. In fact, this is a moment that I will recite to my grandchildren. Barack Obama was sworn into the White House and the Nation today as the First Black President of the United States of America. As I have discussed many times with my father, I truly never thought that I would see this day in my lifetime or even have the luck to share this moment with my father. I think that it is important to remember that though it is great to see the First Black President of America, this event represents a lot more. This specific event will manifest motivation and opportunity to all who is considered a minority in this country. Now I’m no prolific speaker but simply, Obama has achieved a dream that was seen as impossible and if that isn’t motivation to the minorities of America…what the heck is. Congrats to the Obama Campaign and Family. Now, Lets see how the next 4 years play out.

Yes! Anybody who claimed that they loved hip-hop had of his albums. Anybody that knew how to rhyme, had his lyrics. Anybody that loved East Coast Rap adored him. He has been said to be the Greatest rapper of ALL TIME. Though this is a controversial topic, one thing is fo sho, nobody lived hip-hop better than BIGGIE SMALLS aka Notorious B.I.G! Im so excited for this film…I can already tell you, it is gonna be an instant collection to my DVD’s. “It was all a dream!..I used to read word up magazine.”-Biggie
