The Adventures of a Young Savage
And his mild-mannered pseudonym, Benjamin Jancewicz
Writings about life, and usually how beautiful it is.
Who said a black man in the Illuminati?
Last time I checked, that was the biggest racist party
Last time I checked, we was racing with Marcus Garvey
On the freeway to Africa ’til I wreck my Audi
And I want everybody to view my autopsy
So you can see exactly where the government had shot me
No conspiracy, my fate is inevitable
They play musical chairs once I’m on that pedestal

#AdventUs “At the time that was a marker for the beginning of His reign, the God of everything formed and gave meaning to all that was chaos.” Genesis 1:1 (paraphrased)

#AdventUs “Someone was pleading in the wasteland, ‘Clear a path so that the King can reach us!'” Mark 1:3 (paraphrased)
I didn’t get this verse at all at first. Mostly because I kept hearing “Behold he comes, riding on the clouds” over and over in my head. It’s one of those earworms of a song that’s just chock full of Christianese that not many people really truly understand. Continue reading “Someone was pleading in the wasteland, ‘Clear a path so that the King can reach us!”
I’m half motivated, have second-guessing my art.
I just got back from an art auction for a theater company in Washington DC. Lorraine Imwold was the one who got me to go down. I went down with Tamika and Edward Williams and Harper Fitzsimmons. Continue reading “Live Art DC, Auctions, and Hacks”

So I’m sitting here stuck on an airplane.
I’m flying back to Baltimore from Vancouver. It’s a 3 and a half hour flight. I told myself that I would upgrade to a economy class on any flight over 4 hours, but it may need to lower that to 3. Continue reading “Flying back from Vancouver”

We made it to California!
I’m sitting in a Cafe in Santa Monica, trying to get Dropbox to sync.
I really should have brought along our hotspot, but I forgot to pack it. I’ve got a couple projects I need to get to clients, so here I sit. I was hoping our United flight would have had Wifi, but no such luck. The place Tamika and I are staying at is supposed to have Wifi, but I wasn’t able to get it hooked up, unfortunately.

Today was trying. I was up very late last night working on website for the Civilian arm of the Coast Guard and for National Black AIDs Day. Stayed up until around 2. And of course, the next day I was exhausted. Continue reading “Sleeplessness, Silverbacks, and a Beautiful Bank”
