damn am i sprung?

Damn i am sprung?

HE got me bad damn why am i thinking of him and it was only a brief encounter.
He got me blown away and he didnt even open his mouth just looking into his eyes.
He got me wanting him like no other for some damn reason that i think i am sprung.
He got me jacking off to our brief moment of intimacy. Damn i cum all over myself alot.
He had this strut bout him that made me weak in the knees and had my heart racing.
He was 6'1 180 light skin with a low fade and goatee that was nicely trimmed. He wore a crisp brown slacks and a button down shirt with loafers. and was smelling good as i first made eye contact with him i knew i had to have him. He had all the qualities that i looked for in Mr Right, damn or damn not all i had to do was walk up to him and the rest would be history.

Patrik Ian Polk's Blackbird Film to hit theaters 2/20/15






I am pleased to announce that film "Blackbird" has a release date of February 20th, 2015 to hit theaters.
The film has been doing the film festival circuit for majority of 2014 through out the country as well as being screened internationally and has received nothing, but positive feedback and accolades.
Based on the novel by Larry Duplechan, Blackbird is a powerful coming-of-age story about 17-year-old Randy Rousseau. A devout high school choir boy, Randy is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality in a small, religiously-conservative Mississippi town he calls home. Randy juggles his role as star of the church choir while facing the everyday trials of life as a high school misfit. Complicating matters, his little sister has gone missing and his parents have subsequently split up, leaving him to care for his heartbroken mother, Claire. When Claire discovers the shocking secret her son has been hiding, she blames him for the disappearance of his sister. Randy’s father, Lance, who has been keeping a watchful eye on his broken family, steps in to give his son a hand as he struggles to make the difficult transition into manhood.

The film stars Oscar winner Mo’Nique, Isaiah Washington, Terrell Tilford, Julian Walker, Gary L. Gray, Kevin Allesee, Torrey Laamar, Nikki Jane and D. Woods.

Below is the trailer for the film which I have seen twice, i can say with confidence that you will thoroughly enjoy this movie and that is my promise to you. Congrats to Patrik Ian Polk on what will be his 4th film feature.

The Pain...

So on wednesday afternoon i had my wisdow tooth pulled, and when i say the last 3 days i have been in so much misery and discomfort. Ugh! smh but i digress, all because my dentist said my teeth was crooked. I should have stayed with my gut feeling and kept it moving. I so hate this feeling that i am going through, and nothing was wrong... Dammit jim, so for 3 days i haven't been able to really eat anything but applesauce and my right side of my face is swollen, which is so not cute and i can barely open my mouth fully. I am trying my best not to go crazy, but all i want to do is eat and not be in pain and discomfort. But hopefully everyone is having a great week thus far.

Webseries: Judys Season 2 premier Episodes 1&2





YouTube web series JUDYS returns for its second season, premiering "The Exquisite Art of Moving the Fuck On" and "Date Like a D***, F*** Like a F**," the first two episodes of the new season on its YouTube channel Recreational Drama (YouTube.com/RecreationalDrama).

Picking up two weeks after the many events of last season, the adventures of Macen Givens (G'Mar Morton), Carvin White (Corey Pope), Ezell Frazier (Ryan Pitts) and Harper Campbell, played by the show's creator, writer and director Casey Hamilton, continue with new themes and the classic, cutting one-liners the series has become known for.

"This is the season we get to explore all the things we didn't get to really address last season--particularly love and relationships and the challenges of dating in Atlanta or in modern-day 'gay world' so it's a lot more grown-up in a sense but still colorful, still comedic and still JUDYS," says Hamilton of the new season dubbed as "#SEASON2BOO."

Premiering last year, the self-described "comedy about drama" has since gained over 4,000 YouTube subscribers of a variety of backgrounds.

"The show centers on a group of 20-something friends, referred to as 'judys,' and deals with experiences and language that are very specific to gay men but it's quite nice to see women, straight and gay, become such a dedicate part of our audience. I believe that our themes and issues are relatable to all and if nothing else, anyone from any walk of life can appreciate something that makes them laugh. I'm very proud that our little show is able to do this, even with it being a completelyindependent production."

To help with the costs of producing a scripted show independently, fans are able to contribute via GoFundMe (gofundme.com/Judys), which Hamilton fully endorses and encourages.

"JUDYS is a true passion project--I put this show out because I enjoy putting it out. This is one of many stories that I feel need to be told that happen to deal with the gay community and I didn't want the niche that it happens to fall in or lack of funding, deter it from ever seeing the light of day so I just did it on what I had to do it with. And now, we're in our second season so that feels great."
