My Monday morning opens with a brutal execution, more teenagers fighting. and now this, probably the most inspiring video of my morning: …so now that we’ve made it here alive (The first day of the week) are you planning to eat or be eaten? Life will definitely eat you up and spit you out if you allow it to.

The Wednesday Wine Down Is In Full Swing!
Posted by Relentless on June 20th, 2014
This is a great feeling; to be in a place that accommodates your friends and business acquaintances. All good people, all good energy all coming together under one roof… the right mix of jazz music, a live artist, and a climate controlled environment and NOT TO MENTION the wine & food. Can you hear Grover Washington Jr’s Mister Magic playing while Don is talking about some property, while Chico is discussing his latest concert tour, and while Marcia is talking about the latest fashion trends? A community of entrepreneurs pushing forth to share in life’s available resources. And just when you consider all that, here comes the next track, Lee Rittenour featuring Phil Perry, and a few more tracks later, maybe Duke Ellington, Isaac Hayes & Sara Vaughn, its time for the featured artist to perform her 2nd set.
What An Amazing Night @Starbucks, Conyers Jazz Wednesday!
Posted by Relentless on June 12th, 2014
I am still shaken by last night’s impact. I have been around some phenomenal singers in my life, but last night me and my intimate audience (a few dozen people) from the Rockdale County were entertained by the amazing Azure McCall. She sings jazz like none other and generally tours the world/ships, festivals, etc. But last night she crash-landed at my Starbucks Jazz & Wine Wednesday event here in Conyers, Ga. Man-oh-man! WHAT A VOICE! WHAT A WOMAN! Stay tuned for some highlights!
Every Now And Then…
Posted by Relentless on June 10th, 2014
I sometimes need to remind myself of my importance here. Not many authors reach the level of status and acclaim that I’ve reached, so I’m often humbled, cocky, proud, arrogant, surprised, blessed, awesome, inspired, unappreciated, challenged, ignored, all of those feelings behind the big win, the landmark book deal, the press that followed. There are always new levels of living and I’m never complacent or bored. Life is giving me just what I expect, just as I’ve imagined. Most importantly, I’m at peace, even while on the brink of everyday’s greater success. Thank you all for carrying me, challenging me and fueling my drive. The saga continues…
Who’s Having The Last Laugh Now??? PSY IS!!! GANGNAM STYLE!!!
Posted by Relentless on June 1st, 2014
PSY (born Park Jae-Sang, December 31, 1977) is a South Korean K-pop singer-songwriter, rapper, dancer and record producer. PSY attended both Boston University and Berklee College of Music in the United States.
PSY debuted in January 2001 with his full-length album, titled “PSY… From the Psycho World!,” for which he later had to pay a fine due to accusations that the album contained inappropriate content. He released his second album, titled “Ssa 2,” the following year. However, the release sparked complaints from various civic groups about the potentially negative influence his album would have on the younger generation. Since then, PSY has been thought of as a controversial artist, and “Ssa 2” was banned in 2002 from being sold to those under the age of 19.
‘Gangnam Style’ Reaches Record 2 Billion YouTube Views!
FROM TIME MAGAZINE: South Korea’s rougishly pudgy pop star Psy is ubiquitous online. If you’ve been alive over the past two years, then you’ve seen his viral music video “Gangnam Style” at least once. And if you’re like most people, probably two or three or many more times.
Between the skipping dance (something between the Cotton-Eyed Joe and a mime pretending to ride a horse) and the svelt, colorfully dressed dancers, there’s something irresistible about the video. And of course the song’s bubbly rhythms—”hey, sexy lady!”—are relentlessly catchy as well. And it’s undeniable: Psy has class.
Whatever makes the video work, it’s finally reached a record 2 billion total views on YouTube, less than two years after it was first uploaded. YouTube commemorated the milestone with little dancing Psys around the play count.
“2 billion views … they are very honorable and very burdensome numbers,” Psy said in a statement, Billboard reports. “With appreciation, I will come back soon with more joyful contents!!”
“Gangnam Style” was at the No. 1 on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 for five weeks. It already held the record for the most-viewed YouTube video.
