The MAKING of THE LANE Reflection (1/1/2012)

Two years ago today I started this blog. My main goal was to produce a decade documentary of my experiences, productions and growth as a documentary film maker and aspiring entertainment mogul. In 2010, I blogged inconsistently but in 2011 I blogged weekly throughout the whole year. In a time where I was trying to get my life together and stand on my own two feet, I didn't have much time to share my words and opinions. In 2012, I will share more of my words and thoughts with those who follow me as a personality, blogger and most importantly a person. The blog entries will be short and sweet. To all of you have been following me on my journey, I want to thank you. 2011 was a year that I tried to separate myself from the game I have loved since I was born, basketball. Weekly blog posts were the beginning of that attempt to escape. Sitting here on January 1, 2012 I have been offered an opportunity to play professional basketball in Dominican Republic. I'm still undecided as to what my decision will be but I've come to the conclusion that I can still keep the option of playing basketball open while I continue to grow in entertainment. I hope my past, present and future experiences that I share with my fans, blog and the world are ones that motivate people to make their own lane.
