2010

This past Monday, I had the distinct pleasure and honour of visiting
Texas Southern University in Houston and speaking with a group of students there.
It’s always refreshing — and necessary — to take a step back from
the Hollywood hubbub of movies, music, and mayhem
to remind oneself of what is truly important in the world,
and to try and use all you’ve learned in your life experience, good and bad,
to help encourage bright young minds as they pursue their dreams.
My specific path may not be one to exactly emulate,
but then much like the uniqueness of every person,
it is up to the individual to blaze their distinct trail to their destination.
I can only hope I did my part in helping at least one of
these students figure out their way.

And thanks to those who submitted tunes for
the Takers mixtape.
There’s some real heat coming your way tomorrow…
for your ears right here and for your eyes at your local cinemas.
