I Have Nothing To Say Until I Do
I’ve always loved being quiet. Waiting…looking…attempting to figure out why the world is how it is. Thinking silently to myself. Scanning my brain for answers while listening to the refrigerator hum. Wondering what things will look like a year from now as I wet my toothbrush. I am looking into my soul for guidance as I re-rack my weights in the gym. I was a quiet kid too. I read large books that…
Last Day of Summer
Welcome back to Black Grad Life, where I speak on all things music, the Black experience, lifestyle, and life after college. Today, I’ll be processing Summer’s end. I’ll also be processing the feelings that come with that. Additionally, I’ll reflect on where my head has been the past few months. Summertime Sadness Another summer has reached its end. On a wet day in September, I watch it slip…
Recharging, Recentering, Refocusing.
Welcome back to Black Grad Life, where I speak on all things music, the Black experience, lifestyle, and life after college. Today’s post will cover the importance of doing the things we often neglect. Whether that be sticking to our routines, maintaining discipline, and/or establishing boundaries with ourselves and others. I’m not afraid to admit I struggle in these areas. I spent the past month…

Ten Minutes
Members Only! Thanks for joining me for my first subscriber only post. It is still so crazy to me that an idea that I came up with in my first apartment in Florida is still materializing today. “Ten Minutes” is a brain dump from the end of 2022. Fun fact, this was supposed to jump start the blog at the top of 2023, but I felt like it was a bit too simple. A few years worth of pandemic anxiety…

10 Essentials Joe Can't Live Without
Welcome back! Finally getting the chance to do something that I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. BlackGradLife presents, “10 Essentials Joe Can’t Live Without.” Walk with me as I obsess over some of my favorite essentials. The problem is this though, I could whip up tons of different variations of this. I realized at the end of the day that I am a lover of cool things. So really like…

2024: Ins & Outs
Welcome back! First of all, I’d like to say thanks for the support on my last post. I had a tremendous amount of anxiety around the thought of putting out content again. It means the world to me that you guys tuned in and are back for more. If you’re new this is the BlackGradLife where I talk about all things music, the Black experience, and life after college. We’re definitely going to chat…

The Mourning After Christmas
It’s December 26th…3:26 in the morning. I awoke in somewhat of a sticky sweat. Not so much sweaty but more so lightly glistening on the springy pullout couch in my childhood bedroom. I’m restless. I had dozed off a couple hours prior whilst re-runs of Abbott elementary played in the background. I will myself out of bed as I know only one way to extinguish the feelings of anguish building up…

new year rambling.
For what ever reason I felt like I needed to write tonight. I mean I’ve had that feeling at several instances over the last couple of years since I last hit publish. Writing is hard, I’ve always known that, so I’ll just blame my lack thereof on a massive writer’s block. A lot has changed in my life from the last time you read my words on here. I hope to speak on that once I’m back in some sort of…

Everyone Needs a Good Sunday Routine by 30
Everyone Needs a Good Sunday Routine by 30
I think this era is weird. I think that a lot of the things that people do on a day to day are weird. People move weird, even me. I love Sundays. Sundays have become a day of reflection and self-care for me. Honestly, it is the most important day of the week consistently for me. No matter how good or bad the week is, there’s always a re-birth on Sunday. I’ve always personally related to Phoenix…

How I Successfully Eluded Florida Man For Seven Years
How I Successfully Eluded Florida Man For Seven Years
That’s right I did it, after just about seven years I have escaped Florida unscathed. No face eating, no alligator men, no stand your ground shooting, no headline. I made it back to the realest state without a hitch. Sure, I haven’t had a proper plate from Zaxby’s in who knows when and have no idea when to use “no cap,” but I’m here. I stepped away this past couple of months to properly close out…

What If This Is As Good As It Gets?
This blog is going to be a little bit of me just rambling with my thoughts so bear with me. Hear me out here, what if this is as good as it gets? What if all along we have been preparing for this future that doesn’t exist? What if in all the hustle and bustle striving towards a better tomorrow we forgot to fully embrace the now? That now that will be totally forgotten once we reach that future…

How I Reclaimed My Time MLK Week
So this week started with a five day weekend that I treated myself to so that I could fully appreciate the GOATs that are Martin Luther King Jr. and Aaliyah Haughton. I loved every minute of it. Things at work haven’t been too crazy, but after reaching a couple big deadlines and minimal time off over the holidays I was ready to kick back. So that I did. After paying my respects on social media…

The Indifference That Comes With A New Year
God damn, what a time, what a year. As we close out syllabus week of 2018, how has everyone embraced the new car feeling that comes with a new year? Well, I for one rolled into this year feeling a bit differently than usual. I’ve never been the one for much hoorah on NYE, only really stepping out one year, but kicking it with the fam is often good enough for me. Things weren’t much different this…

The Anxious Thoughts That Haunt The New Graduate
Post grad blues? I gotchu.
I want to open by firstly saying congratulations to the many new graduates that are preparing to or that have already walked across the stage. That moment is one that you will never forget that is accompanied by a feeling that is extremely hard to describe. You did it. The late nights of partying studying, sitting through countless lectures, and doing your best on your final exams have all paid…

The Astounding Task That Is Coming Back To The Blog
As I sit here graciously praying for a Bulldog victory it dawned on me that it had been awhile since I last updated my blog. It’s honestly hard to grasp that we are all getting ready to wrap up another year. Since it is my first post here since late September, I feel like there is a need for a bit of catching up. I almost can’t even really remember what I had going on in October. That month flew…

We Can’t Just Stick To Our Jobs With a White Supremacist In Office
“Just stick to sports” a phrase that I have seen mentioned on the news and social media a lot lately. It’s a phrase that is being used by uncomfortable people of Caucasian descent who hate seeing people of color stand up for what matters. Why does it make you so uncomfortable that we are seeking the justice that we deserve? Your own president ran on a slogan that says this country isn’t great.…
