TOP TEN “Things to do while SCANDAL is on hiatus”

To be honest I was late to all the SCANDAL hoopla and hype. The only reason I ended up watching was because of a friend of mine who persuaded me and because I wanted to know why this show had people stuck to their television sets. 2 seasons later Im writing a blog about it. Go figure..lol

Full disclosure …Kerry Washington is GORGEOUS and that is probably the main reason I watch the show….HA! The most intriguing aspect of the Olivia Pope character is not her impeccable wardrobe. Finding out that Olivia is based on a real life person is what amazes me.

Judy Smith

Judy Smith is the Co-Executive Producer of SCANDAL and is the real “Fixer”. She was the Press Secretary for President George H Bush and has worked with many high profile clients. Her list of clients include names like Lewinsky, Snipes, Bryant, Barry, Craig, Vick and Jackson Jr.. This woman has put in 25 years of WORK! She is known around the world for her expertise as a “Crisis Management Advisor”

This woman helped a crackhead become mayor again. She helped an accused rapist secure endorsement deals again. She helped a dog fighter reestablish himself in the NFL and Blade was able to be a day-walker again. I think she made Jr. Bi-Polar too….HA!

If I find myself in any crisis I need managed I want her on my team. After reading the bio on her website its clear that this woman is the truth.

It just makes me wonder how many of these episodes have some truth to them….hmmmm.

What Do you think about Judy Smith?  Leave a comment and share. :-)

TOP TEN “Things to do while SCANDAL is on hiatus” on SCANDAL-LESS Thursday

TOP 10 “Things to do while Scandal is on hiatus”

1. Organize your bookshelf.

Surely you have books that you have neglected because of this amazing show…GET TO IT!

2. Call your mother and talk about Scandal.

Mom always appreciates a call and you can have a cool conversation about Olivia’s fashion sense and how Huck turned into a punk.

3. Find a cure for ADHD.

Huh?…what was that?…I got distracted.

4. Start a support group for Scandal withdrawal. S.W.A.G. (Scandal Withdrawal Assistance Group)

I would do this one myself, but I have a blog to write.

5. Write your own TV Drama and cast Megan Goode as the lead.

I know it was done already…but do it again Megan deserves it

6. Become a politician and run for President of the Scandal Fan Club.

I’m sure there are great perks with becoming the president of the Scandal Fan Club. All the wine you can drink and more backstabbing than you can handle cant be bad.

7. Watch Greys Anatomy.

I always seem to catch the last 5 minutes of the most dramatic moments of Greys right before Scandal comes on. Im assuming that this show is awesome because Shonda Rhimes writes this also. All I know is that I would NEVER want to be  a patient at that hospital. TOO MUCH DRAMA!

8. Defend the show to all of your friends who dont watch it.

Olivia is a “complex” character to say the least and people who dont know anything about the show seem to be talking about it the most. Invite your friends to the S.W.A.G meetings and provide some insight on the gladiators.

9. Create fictitious story lines about Scandal and start discussions on FB.

In my version of Scandal, Edison beats up the President a marries Olivia. HA!

10. Go for a walk at your nearest park and hold secret meetings on the park bench.

Apparently the best way to make sure things are kept secret is to have a discussion on a park bench surrounded by the public.

Thats my Top 10 List of “Things to do while SCANDAL is on hiatus.”  Could it be better? What would you add? I would love to read your input below. Like the blog, share the blog and leave a comment. :-)

SCANDAL-LESS Thursday – Olivia – Huck – Fitz – Mellie – Cyrus

scandal-on-abc copy

I know for a fact that I am not the only one looking forward to seeing the discussion that Olivia will have with her father in the back of that limo. But uhhhh…We gotta wait. For the record I am not one who watches very much TV; however Thursday night is a good night to turn on the television and chat it up with my fellow Scandal fans on Facebook. I love doing the commentary as much as watching the show. It’s like sitting in the living room watching television with 4000 of your closest family members. I have a lot of friends….HA!….Anyway…what do I do on Thursdays now?

I was having a conversation with a close friend. We were discussing this enormous void (not really) that Shonda has placed in our lives for the next 4 months. WHAT IS WE GON DO?!

We came to the conclusion that we can do a few things. We will provide the world with a list of what you can do during this Scandal hiatus aaaaaaaand we will provide you with some cool background on some of the characters. So…There you have it. Scandal-Less Thursdays is in effect…LETS GO!!!

Experience is the greatest teacher. That fact cannot be disputed. Knowledge from one who is experienced has to rank pretty high in itself. This week was the second in the series of Pave Settings Entertainment teleconference ft Malik Yusef of Good Music. The teleconference is titled “Breaking into the Music Industry”.

I left the most recent call armed with even more information than I did on the previous one. What I find valuable about this teleconference is that it’s not just about the music. It is about developing a state of mind that will enable you to win. I’m developing more of a laser focus on what is important with respect to this industry and this business I am creating and branding. I invited many of my personal friends and peers to the call and the feedback that I have been receiving is awesome.

Malik Yusef – Pave Settings Entertainment – The Music Industry – Precise

Image

I have been involved in the music industry over a decade, consistently pursuing my dream and most recently understanding what my purpose is as an artist. I am here to uplift the mass and be a reminder of the greatness that all of us possess. I do this through my gift of music.

I am extremely encouraged in recent times because of how the face of the music industry is changing. It allows access to areas that may not have been accessible ten years ago. The advent of blogs and social media has enabled me to provide insight into who I am as an artist and a person to the entire world. I am grateful for that.

This is a different time. It is easier to maneuver through some areas, however other areas remain a mystery. Most times the information needed to gain access to these areas will not be available on-line. Nothing substitutes the relationship.

Last week 5-15-2013 courtesy of Pave Settings Entertainment I took part in a Teleconference called Breaking into the Music Industry Ft Malik Yusef of Good Music.  Malik’s resume is loaded with experience in the industry that is invaluable. His accolades range from Tony Awards to Grammys. The relationships he has fostered are golden.

 Image

During my time in this industry I have spent A LOT of money for situations that I assumed would help me along my road to success. I have paid to perform at conferences. I have sold tickets for shows. I have spent money for promotions. Sometimes I would benefit. Sometimes I did not benefit. I always chalked it up to paying my dues.

My experiences in terms of the money I have shelled out paying my dues were valuable, however the 2 hours we spent on the phone with Malik during the teleconference was eye opening. There were tips that were given that I moved on right away and garnered immediate results. This teleconference was definitely worth the money and I am recommending it to ALL of my friends and peers in this industry.

Explaining what I learned during the teleconference in this blog would not do it any justice. I am inviting you as my personal guest to take part in the teleconference portion of this event on May 22, 2013. As a result of joining last weeks call I have been given this ability to invite those of you who I know will find value in this conversation.

There will also be a Live Group Session with Malik on the Chicago leg of the tour on June 8th. If you are truly serious about your career in this industry I should see you there. Click The links below.

I think you forget that we have a limited time on this earth. I think you worry too much. I think you get offended to easily. 

I think you forget how powerful we are.

I think you are AMAZING!! I think you add value to to the lives of those who are around you. I think your influence reaches further than you think. I think you are wonderful. I think you are wealthy. I think you are blessed. I think Gods connection gets stronger everyday. I think you are talented. I think you are a genius. I think you are LOVE! I think you are AWESOME!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FROM PRECISE

Happy Mothers Day From Precise

IMG_3352

Nothing brings the season of spring in like Mothers Day. I’m not usually a fan of all these corporate driven holidays because of how they basically create this excitement around one day pretty much for the purpose of getting your money, but Mothers Day is different.

The past few years of my life have been a journey of change and inconsistency. Experiences and people come and go. Many times during this change it has been a challenge to develop a true foothold just to get centered and affect change the way that I would want to see it. People that I thought were in the supporting cast of my life were just passing through.

The only individual who has ALWAYS been there for me has been my mother and I feel extremely blessed because of it. When I think about my mother being sent to this country by her father from Haiti, meeting my father, learning a new language and earning a living to support a family it never ceases to amaze me. I love my mother dearly.

At a time in my life when I had no one to turn to she was my rock. I am so grateful and appreciative for her. I know without her this life would be different so every moment I am with her is cherished.

I have many friends and family members who have lost their mothers. I know they miss their moms. I am one who believes that our ancestors never leave us and continue to guide us through our lives. Our mothers are always with us.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOMS OF THE WORLD!!! We honor respect and LOVE YOU!!!!

Feel free to leave a comment and say Happy Mothers Day to Your Mom!!

Scandal – Billy The Kid – Black Men Speak

20130510-142741.jpg

I was not sure what direction Scandal was going in. After the assassination attempt on Fitz I wasn’t sure if Shondra would be able to top the suspense and intrigue of that specific story line. However as I have mentioned on numerous occasions she is a masterful writer and last night’s episode proves why FB and Twitter feeds are off the chain every Thursday.

**NO SPOILER ALERT…Kind of**

I am going to tred lightly regarding who the mole is because I’m not sure who is reading this. From personal experience I hate to know what’s going to happen before I see it. My initial suspicions of Charlie being the mole were only half right. Olivia and her Gladiators, Cyrus and the White House staff were all stumped. Out of the shadows comes this character who holds the Defiance disk and will most definitely be the bain of everyone’s existence next season. When you find out who the mole is you will flip and you may have to back track a little.

When I first got into this Phenomenon known as Scandal I was extremely curious as to why the show was so popular and why my FB timeline was hijacked every Thursday. I became a fan instantly. However I have my reservations about the writing. With all the glitz and glamour that is Olivia Pope this story essentially focuses on a woman who is in the midst of a love triangle. At this point it might be a square or a polygon.

It does concern me a little that this powerful woman of color is involved in this relationship where she essentially is the “side-piece”. To be honest the story line is not that simple, however on the surface Olivia is involved with a married man and by most accounts this behavior is immoral and objectifies her.

When it comes to Scandal fans I would not fit the usual demographic. I have even seen posts on FB that say “If you are a man watching Scandal go kill yourself.” That’s harsh. Lately I have been seeing a surge of Black men who have so much commentary about a show they don’t know much about. Many take issue with the fact that Olivia is giving these “side chicks” hope and that she is running into the arms of these white men and that it’s not ok.

This whole Thomas Jefferson sleeping with his slave girl narrative has some truth to it. I must admit that Olivia does get on my nerves at times. She dumped the brother to run into the arms of this married man. It can seem extremely ridiculous.

I am not one who discounts the power of the media over the people. The videos we watch and the music that we listen to affect us on a deep level. In “Post Racial America” this type of story line should not be an issue, but its causing a stir among the brothers. Depending on how you look at it it could be good and bad. I happen to think we can learn a great deal from it.

Is it Good or Bad? Were you surprised to find out who the mole is? I’m curious to hear what you think. Leave a comment below.
