Fighting AIDS with (RED) December 14, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Activism, Economical, Global, Video Posts.add a comment
Hello everyone, I’ve had to step away for a sec; I’ve been trying to finish up the semester strong.
But anyway, I wanted to jump back into something pressing and something that we all can get involved with. You’ve probably seen the commercials about ‘Raising money for AIDS awareness’ from Sprint. A popular one is one with Kanye West rapping about awareness and then telling about bying a Red Motorola RAZR.
The idea was started by Musician Bono and Bobby Shriver. They have now teamed up with other famous celebrities, who are as well Activists like Oprah, Kanye West and many others.
If you have Sprint, this is a very great phone to upgrade to and it is now at a very affordable price. this is just one example of the ‘Product RED’ line if items. If you are a big online shopper and use American Express, some of your points and rewards will be donated for the Global Fund when you transfer to a ‘RED’ American Express card.
Many other companies will bringing out Product RED items in their upcoming lines like GAP, Ipod, and American Express.
Here are some pictures of the phone and other Product RED items:

WSSU Homecoming and Ludacris!! October 9, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Music & Entertainment, Sports.1 comment so far
Well Winston’s Homecoming Gamewas a big success, beating Howard 12-0(more info). The weather was very rainy and dreary but they pulled out a victory.
Afterwards their Homecoming Concert was held at the LJVM Coliseum. Their feature artists were none other than Yung Joc and Ludacris. The concert was opened up with some more up and coming Def Jam artists. Yung Joc and Ludacris both put on an amazing performance!!
I was able to be on and backstage to see the show and I had a sec to meet and talk with Ludacris. He was very cool and down to earth. He signed lots of autographs and took pics.

“If You Love me You’ll Wait” September 29, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Music & Entertainment.add a comment
If You Love me You’ll Wait is the name of the new Gospel play that is coming to GSO. Young gospel artist Steven McQueen is about to produce his new vision. Sort of a spin-off of the Tyler Perry idea, Steven, also a model, is incorporating Singing, Acting, and Modeling into his shows. This will be a break through in the Christian entertainment. There will be monthly shows and I will keep updated when I get more info and links.

!!College Night Life Back in the Boro!! August 15, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Night Life, Social.add a comment
Fall semester is almost here, well actually class started the 14th for UNCG. Class starts the 21st for A&T. But onto the subject, for a couple of weeks students have been moving into their apartments and dorms and I’ve been seeing that the clubs have been packed. Strolling downtown at night is crazy!! So with so many Back-to-School parties going on, it’s so hard to choose from. “What’s parties gonna be hot? What are they charging? How far is it?” These are some the questions I hear all the time.
I’ve got word on one of the HOTTEST parties Greensboro’s Back-to-School has seen in years. The N.C.E.A is hosting a party at The Ballroom featuring none other than GIRLS GONE WILD and MTV. You already know what Girls Gone Wild does and MTV will be there to capture it all. The Ballroom will also be featuring one the Real World cast members.
Everyone should come show there support and help put Greensboro on the map!!! -lol
Here’s the local advertisement for the event

If you could make a change, would you? August 10, 2006

I wanted to take a sec to give reference to my friend Dara’s blog and one of her recent posts. Her post Citizen Journalists really caught my attention and I want to help spread the word. The post is about Black Family Channel (www.blackfamilychannel.com) who is developing a national show called UR Television. “The mission is to share the important stories in our communities that are often overlooked by mainstream media.”
This show is designed around the idea that news content needs to be democratized, giving everyone, not just the media conglomerates, control of the stories that are told. A citizen journalist can be anyone who desires to find truth, expose inequality, and has the technical savvy to produce a story. Anything that is making a difference in your neighborhood, positively or negatively is greatly valued. Just think about what’s going on in your neighborhood and how everyone( the community) is feeling about it. They are looking for compelling stories including, podcasts, videoblogs, documentaries, and trailers that run up to four minutes. If you have an interesting idea, pick up a camera, do and interview or two, edit a short piece, then share it with UR Television.
Submission format: BetaSP, MiniDV, DVD
Address: Black Family Channel

MEETUP; It’s Wsup!! July 14, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Personal, Social.1 comment so far
I’ve recently got on to 
, where you can find groups of people in your city that have the same interests as you. I personally have joined a Bloggers Group, a Spanish Speaking Group, a Sign Language Group, and a Web Design Group. Yesterday(Thursday) we had a Web design meeting where John showed us how to edit a webpage my manually typing HTML and CSS.
Last week I attended my first Spanish speaker meetup and it was lot’s of fun. There were about six of us from all different backgrounds and we just talked about different things and found out why/how we got into Spanish. We also ate some grrrrrrrrrreeeat Mexican food.
I think that Meetup is an amazing site and should definitely be shared. Check it out and if you don’t find anything you like at least tell someone else about it; your homeboy might be looking for some people to go figure skating with 
Ciao.
Hip Hop Gives Back July 4, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Fun, Social, Video Posts.3 comments
This Monday with the help of my good friend, I was able to get 
to come to my job and spend some time with the kids. My good friend Anton Lindsay called me saying that he would have some time with JIBBS while they were in Greensboro promoting his new single. Since JIBBS is still a minor and can’t really hit the nightclubs and bars, he wanted to do something in the ‘neighborhood’, so I told Anton there’s nothing better for him to do than come show some love to the local kids.
At the Central Unit Boys and Girls Club here in Greensboro, JIBBS came to show the kids his new dance and sign some autographs. Here’s a clip of JIBBS and his homeboy dancing for the kids and then the kids quickly picking it up and joining in.
It was great that this busy artist could take the time to stop and give back to his TRUE fans, the kids. He said that the kids were great and got into the music and dancing so much, he’d have to make a trip back soon.
According to the label, there are bigs plans for the young 17yr old star and we definitely wish him the best. Also Check him out on Myspace.
Various Pics of JIBBS signing and the kids
- Much Thanks and God Bless to JIBBS
Southern Baptist Convention-2006 June 7, 2006
Posted by collegeclectic in Economical, Religion.10 comments
Just real quick, I wanted to let everyone know about the 2006 Southern Baptist Convention annual conference that will be held in Greensboro, NC at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. The conference will be held on June 13-14. It is definitely something to check out and try to attend. You will need to register online; see website for details.
I only recently found out that the Convention will be bringing in an extra 20,000(+) people to Greensboro. This is a major event and as said, thousands of Baptists will be attening from all over the southeast coast. Personally, until recently I had only heard about the 102 SuperJam Concert that will also be held in the Coliseum. This is an annual 'Hip-Hop' concert that of course will also be bringing an extra 20-30,000 people to Greensboro from all over the US; but it is always good to hear that a Christian event is drawing the same amount of people as any other.
On another note, annual events like these always bring good business to Greensboro. Events of this size usually quadruple revenue sales for that week or weekend. On the business end, this June will be an amazing month for Greensboro. Ciao.
