Friday, November 27th, 2009

Aight well this is some more footage that was captured during our prep time for Thanksgiving dinner in STL.  There is not much to type or that needs to be typed so I’m just gone chill and let the videos do all the talkin.  I will get back at you people later and thanks again for checkin out my blog and the comments that you all have been posting have been good and supportive as usual and I hope that you all keep them coming.




A Rockafellaz Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Well this will kind of tell the story itself. I think I mentioned to you all before that London was going to be spending Thanksgiving with me and my family this year and I believe Christmas we will do Pittsburgh unless he rather do St. Louis again.  I see that my family likes him around and he likes being around my family.

To sum things up a little, we had a chef come in, which is also a good friend of both me and my business partner. We did some videos, but not of everything, just a little bit of preparation and some talking and all that. Anyway we had a good time and that’s all that matters.


Then we have my baby London in the kitchen with the chef.


Hope you all like. Make sure you check out part 2 to this blog posting.

Rock and London in St. Louis for the Holidays

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Good evening everyone.  Just wanted to let you all know that me and London will be in St. Louis from November 23rd thru November 28.  We will be with my family for Thanksgiving this year. He has been in Pittsburgh for the past week and a half with family and I have been missing him so much. Ok well anyway enough with the mushy stuff lol.  Not sure if we will be going to any clubs while we are there. I know there are a few clubs there that he can go to and I know that he would like.

There is also a good friend of the companys that will be joining us in St. Louis who is a chef and will be helping out preparing Thanksgiving dinner. I will be doing some video footage of the time there. Not the entire time but I will have some video footage of the trip to post here so you all can get a taste of how well the trip is going. This will be me and Londons second trip to St. Louis together. I’m sure you all remember the last one.

Well I have to finish packing and I wanted to wish you all Happy Thanksgiving. I will be posting blogs through out my time in the STL but just wanted to let you know what my plans were.

Vehicle Accident

Monday, October 19th, 2009

OMG people have gotten crazy back home.  Im driving westbound on Meremac and came to a complete stop at Meremac and California. Checked both ways of course and there was not one car at the intersection but me.  After making a complete stop at the stop sign that was there for all directions of traffic, I proceeded to drive through the intersection. The next thing I know I get slammed into on the driver side of my car. Luckliy I was driving an SUV, it could have ended up worse. The police did show up an a report was filed but no tickets were given because he said that our stories were the same. Hmm. I suppose.   But the business that was on the corner where the accident occurred had cameras that cover surveillance on that entire side. He told me that he would get the file to me so I could see what happened. If its a good video I might even post it here on my Blog.

Few shots of the damage.

I will let you know that me and my lil nephew were ok and not injured, just a little shaken up. I have not been in a car accident in so fucking long I cant even remember how long it has been. Ugh that night was so crazy on top of me dealing with some other shit that was going on. Hell I was thinking that  the night could not get any worse, it just couldn’t. I was able to drive the car back to the  car rental place after I took my little nephew home.  Got back out to National and was able to switch out the vehicle with no problem. Luckily the same vehicle, except this time it was black, which is one of my favorite colors.

Got back to the hotel Filmed another hot scene and called it a night because I was so over it.

Saint Louis

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I arrived here in St. Louis this after noon and it felt kinda good to be home because I have not seen my family in quite sometime.  I got off the plane, got my luggage and headed to the car rental place.  Had a good deal on a Chevy Tahoe for 4 days so I took it.  First stop was my grandmother house because my mom lives in downtown St. Louis. It was easier to stop and see my grandmother first and then head that way.

She is doing good after her surgery. My aunt, which is her daughter just has to go over there to check on her dressings from the surgery.  But it was good seeing here and we were talking about the family plans for Thanksgiving this year, which I will be doing in STL. I hope that London will be available to join me this year.  We sat around and talked for a while and caught up on things. Nothing serious but still all my convos with my granny are good either way.

I left there and headed to my moms but we had all decided to wait till tomorrow because we were going to go out and eat together. When I got to my hotel of course I needed to start getting things ready for my first couple of shoots.  Well I will tell you this, it was a crazy weekend dealing with some of these people here in St. Louis. Its like I said before, I don’t pressure anyone into doing anything.  If you are not sure that you want to be in the industry then just say so. Instead of wasting your time coming out and wasting my time in setting everything.  Get out everything you want or need to know in the email.  Thats one of the things about being sure about your self. Know what you want to do, if you are not sure you have to and should wait it out till you know for sure.  Anyway I was able to get a good shoot done with two new models to Rockafellaz.  I’m sure you all will enjoy them.

Well at the end of that day I got some well needed rest because I was really tired after getting up early that morning and catching my flight then getting here and going straight to work. I know like clockwork right. I gotta keep you all cummin ….lol.

Keep it Gangsta.

What you wanted…

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Well I was not going to post this because it was not really nuthing but us fucking around in the hotel room in St. Louis.  But I figured, why the fuck not, after all its free for you all to see right.  Well enjoy. Maybe next time we will do a little bit more for you all on camera and maybe even for a DVD. That way you all can see the full effect of what we do when we get down.

I wanted to also say thanks to everyone that has been commenting on my blog postings and all that good shit.  So I again…..THANK YOU AMERICA.


St. Louis: Day 4

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Almost time for us to head back home. Me to Miami and London to Pittsburgh. My aunt said that she wanted to cook dinner for us, so that was the plan for the evening. We went out and did some site seeing and I decided to go downtown to the Riverfront and the Arch. London had never been so I wanted to give him a little tour of my home town.

We found a perfect spot to park, luckily right on L.K. Sullivan.  No meters but no one was giving out any tickets either so we were good. We stopped by the ice cream booth that was actually an old fire truck from back in the early 1900’s where  we bought St. Louis style drumsticks ice cream. You know the kind in the waffle cone and dipped in nuts. We took a few more pictures in front of that and then some near the truck.  We then took a ride on the horse and carriage down by the Riverfront and took some photos as well.  It was actually my first time doing that. All that timed I have lived in St. Louis I have never taken a horse and carriage ride up until this day.

After the carriage ride we took some photos on the steps that lead up to the Arch ground and we took lots of photos of the Arch it self. Then we went inside Arch museum which is basically under the Arch Grounds. This was actually kinda of fun. I think London had fun because he was asking questions about things. Over all the visit to the Arch itself was rewarding because he mentioned to me that he always wanted to see it up close.

Well it was time to head to my aunts house, so we hit it. Once we arrived she was happy to see us of course. Made us feel welcome and she has always done when I come around or home to visit. She really made London feel welcome and part of the family. Well we went downstairs in the basement, which was a finished basement that was very well furnished of course. I put on a movie for London to watch while we were getting things together for dinner. Then I had to go and pick up my mother because she was at a friends house. She forgot that we was suppose to have dinner today. Which of course that was not her fault. As I mentioned, her memory is not all that good, but I still make sure I do what I can to look out for my mother.

After a little talking and my aunt and mother telling London all my child hood stories it was time to eat. She really did it up, fresh salad with shredded cheese, steak with some type of casserole. I don’t remember what it was but it was so good. For desert, we had carrot cake. But I was full from the dinner so there was no desert for me or London, so we just took a slice with us back to the hotel.

When we got back to the room, took a nice hot shower and then got some of our things packed because we had to leave out the next day. We lay down and of course you know we did our thang. I think me being detailed with you all the first couple nights was enough. I mean of course you know we did it everyday lol.  But we did get up later on that night, after having sex of course and went to White Castle one more time.  Got back to the room and sat up watching some TV while we were eating . Did not go to sleep for a while because we knew the trip was coming to an end and was not looking forward to be separated again till the next time we see each other.  But we do what we have to do to make this work and its going fine.

Well time to turn in so I will holla at you lata.

Taking a break to deal with Family

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Well last nigh myself and a few of the boys of cocodorm went to see  X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Well all I can say is that movie was definitely better than the other X men movies. The boys seemed to have enjoyed it as well. Which was a good thing. I would have hated to waist my money. The theater was pretty crowded taking into consideration the time that we went, which was 12:10 am. Not to mention it was the second day of the showing of the movie.

After the movie, the ones that were old enough, including myself went to club Twist. There was a good turn out there as well. Sometimes its hard to really enjoy yourself when you have  a lot of things on your mind. Family, friends and work, all that can play a part in how you function from day to day depending on what situations are occurring.

After the club we all headed back home, it was 4:30 and I still needed to pack my things for my trip to St. Louis. I get in, spoke with London D. for a few on the phone. he had just got in him self. I was just wanting to see how he was doing because he had called me earlier that day and I told him to make sure he let me know when he made it home safely.  Anyway, I started getting my clothes and everything else together.  Let me tell you, I hate packing. I really do. I mean I don’t mind traveling and I know of course that I must bring things that I will need, but I just cant stand doing that shit. Putting outfits together and shit like that, man damn.

I got about 3 hours of sleep because I had to get up and take one of the dorm boys to the airport, well actually the tri rail that goes to the airport.  Now I get out near Miami airport which is not far from where I am at all.  But when i got a call back stating that the Tri Rail doesnt run until 10am. That was not good because the boy flight was at 10am.  So I went back and picked him up, drove him out to Ft. Lauderdale and then drove back to Miami. So you know if you are not familar. Its about a 30-45 min drive from Miami to Ft Lauderdale and there was fucking traffic. When I was done with that, I just decided to go to the office and chill there, get somethings that I needed for my laptop and what not. While I was working on somethings, I felt how exhausted I was. you know that feeling you get when you are trying to finish something, then you get very tired and your eyes get heavy from looking at the computer screen. Its almost like a breaking point because I know I was trying to fight that shit hard as hell.

Well I arrived in St. Louis late because of the delay in Miami. Picked up my rental and headed to my mothers house.  When I got there she was sleeping and I did not want to wake her, but I know that she would have been upset if I came by and did not try to at least let her see me.  My mom is stubborn sometimes, so.  Well anyway she opened her eyes and there was a big smile on her face. I knew then she was glad to see me. She did not say much. She had been as sleep since her last two seizures. I spoke with my grandmother and she will be making an appointment for my mother to see a neurologist on Monday morning.  I actually leave on Monday the 4th of May, but I will be back here if I need to come back right away. My mother was definitely glad to see me though. We sat and talked about a few things. She was telling me about her tattoos, yes my mother has those. She is a real good person and down to earth and very easy to get along with. Well i will be going by to see her later on today and to spend some more time with here before I have to head back to Miami tomorrow.

That’s all I have to report today people Sorry that I have been behind on my blog posting but I will catch up and try my best to stay on top of things.
