What exactly makes a Memphis Hi-Lite? The first thing is that the location has to be in Memphis, obviously. The second? Well, it has to be a location that either provides an upscale atmosphere, or the perfect atmosphere for either date night or family night. The final attribute? The location has to grant the visitor…
(Originally posted in 2010 revised for MLK Day 2015) On January 1st, I dropped a trailer for the film Night Catches Us. I didn’t know a lot about the film, but I knew that Kerry Washington and Anthony Mackie were the lead actors and to me this meant that it was a movie worth my…
This is just a quick post to thank everyone who visits the site and has supported ARCH this year. I had one of the best years as a startup due to Kickstarter. I still have a very difficult road in regard to moving ARCH forward as a brand and in 2015 my work will be…
https://amzn.to/3wGJtHI The Walking Dead on AMC is my favorite show since the X-Files. I’ve watched each season with anticipation and when the last season ended a few weeks back, I went into withdrawals. Yep, those kind of withdrawals. The ones that only a person hooked on something like pizza would understand. I needed a fix…
https://amzn.to/3sVNKot This is one of the few times that I get to write the word Honky and not feel kind of funny about writing it. Therefore, I am going to write the word Honky every few words simply to establish that using the word Honky does not make me George Jefferson. For those of you…
Typically, I have a lot to say when I write a Get To Know. I’m inspired and I have a need for you to know what I’m feeling when I’ve heard or seen something that is so necessary… that I am at a loss for words. I’m not at a loss: Buy everything by Gregory…

I Will Follow written and directed by Ava Du Vernay allows me to place my professorial hat on in creating an analysis. The title is an allusion to a song written and performed by Bono and U2 on their first album. The song itself is significant because of why it was written, and the relevance…
This question is one that brings to memory, for most people, the first day of school. I recall primarily happy narratives when someone asks me this today. It almost seems that I can’t remember anything really bad occurring during summer break. Well, if you don’t count the bowl cut and the jogging suit my mom…
(Written in 2011) What is Rework? Rework is a book on rethinking what it is to be a small businessperson. The book was written by the founders of 37signals. Real quick, what I just did by inserting their link into this blog post has helped to increase their SEO. Why is this important in a…
This is my first movie review. I’m not proclaiming to be Siskel or Ebert. I may be more like one of the guys in the balcony on The Muppet show; nevertheless, a spur of the moment date with my wife led us to the movies where we watched the much-anticipated Beyond the Lights directed by…
I have finally reached the fifth installment in the Dexter Series. Last week my wife showed me a gif on Tumblr. In this rotating gif a man was dragging himself from his living room sofa with his legs laying behind him like a wounded seal. The man’s face was a twisted canvas of satisfaction and…
I posted this picture during the Kickstarter campaign to show me working out by using a Kinect game to shadowbox. I’m posting it now because it perfectly represents the next step I’m taking in the development of ARCH as a brand and developing my own brand. If you aren’t aware I also operate a blogging…
In the land of music where each day has a new release that is either strictly for the kids or just another very poorly done R&B song that is played continuously until the people know it and sing it because they have heard it so much, this is just what was needed. Today I don’t…
If I see an artist with Herbie Hancock there is an instant amount of validation. Obviously I expect the artist with him to be a pianist. I also expect that artist to be capable of composing and blending music styles. Since I’m in my office I miss the introduction and I have to sit through…
Sometimes I want to delve into the research on a group and dig to find out more information before posting a Get To Know. Every now and then, I want to just dig the music and tell you all to just dig this shit. Put it on, sit back with a glass of your favorite,…
I will probably repeat this over and over again as I begin to write more articles for CBP. My goal is to make maturity dope. In other words, jumping and bouncing all over the place is cool when you’re young. As much as I like seeing people Nay-Nay (sp?), when you get to a certain…
Wow, it’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you, without a … always nice to start off a post with a little Rakim. I haven’t done an update like this since last year. Whenever I do these reports they remind me that I actually have to work at more than just the testing…
I recently had an opportunity to get an early copy of the Tao of Pimpin: a folktale by Blue. First, Blue is one of the most genuine internet personalities I’ve ever virtually met (I’ve never seen or met Blue in person, but that’s besides the point… it does let you know that this is not a…

This week FE+ arrived in Memphis and instead of going to enjoy the show at the Hi-Tone, I found myself working on some business things. If you see me, slap me for that one. Sometimes you have to learn to enjoy what you have and take a break. I’ve been playing the hell out of…
