Big 32
This weekend I celebrated my 32nd Birthday with my family and friends Grilling and watching Playoff basketball. Enjoyed the down time and love recieved from everyone that pulled up, texted, called, posted and or tweeted me! The love is mutual and so appreciated! The heartfelt messages of Inspiration were the highlight of my year let alone my Birthday!
GoonmilkTV PSA featuring Katt Williams
Saw the Katt Williams x Supreme BLM commercial and instantly got inspired, decided to put my own edit. Much respect to Supreme for using their platform to spread a much needed Black Lives Matter message the entire world needed to hear. And a personality as big as Katt Williams to relay the message was a great “I told you so” moment for him and America.
G.O.O.N.S. Workouts 11am Monday - Saturday!
Everyday but Sunday Me and Eli have been hosting morning workouts in the garage to stay fit and healthy during this pandemic!
Spicoli
The DMV and the universe lost a great soul this week.
I can go on for days about the parties, the Valentines Day playlists, Trillectro, but the Guy was so much cooler than the headlines he seldom took credit for. Definition of stand up guy, had his own style, and fathered a lot of these DJ’s style coming up these days. Not to mention how much of an influence him and Modi were on blogging, giving me endless pointers and help whenever needed way back when i was blogging on Blogspot.
Soufside Market
Each and Every Saturday 10-4pm located at 2510 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington DC.
The Rose Garden
My second videography gig was a vibe! The Rose Garden brought to you by Hookah Kese and Sounds by DJ Loud.
The Yacht Party
My first gig with the Sony 6400 was a few weeks ago for the Homie Chef Charisma and her folk’s 50th Birthday Yacht Party on the Potomac. Charisma provided the brunch buffet. It was a boat full of good vibes and plenty champagne. I couldn’t believe how full of life and good Mrs. Jarvalin looked for her 50th Birthday! We all had an amazing time blasting gogo, cruising from the Fort Washington Marina to the National Harbor and back. I wanted to rent a boat and do this in miami but the YT Pipo in Miami don’t like to rent to the negroes
Slime SZN
With everything going on in a black man’s head these days it shouldn’t be a question as to why one would risk his life for a vacation… we risking our lives any other day might as well spend it on a beach with a beautiful woman and a blunt. And truth be told I enjoyed every second of it, yeah it was risky, yeah the numbers went up, yeah they closed the strip clubs back up, but nonetheless I ate/drank/smoked good, saw things I always wanted to check out, and spent it with people I care for and care for me. Shoutout B and Brandee for the hospitality, and a big thank you to Big Kota for just riding with a nigga, you guys made the trip worthwhile! Got some great footage and gonna make a movie out of it all soon…
Family First
It’s really an amazing feeling getting money with your family when it works out beneficial for both parties. This month has been exponentially better because of my family and how they’ve not only persevered through this pandemic, as well as, used GoonMilk to capitalize on business ventures, collaborate with eachother, and support one another in a time of literal chaos. I can’t thank Chuck, Zel, E, Randy, Jordan, Rocket, Tim, Or anyone else who’s not only been by my side but in my corner fearlessly as we navigate through this thing called life.
The Negro Kickball Association
Few weeks ago my bro @Shmev0 aka “Birdbox Brown” came up with an idea to throw a kickball game for the gang to link and have a lil fun during this pandemic. Basketball courts closed, nothing but open fields so we switched up the sport and still Balled on these niggas lol
Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?
This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole. I spent it walking the walk and talking the talk with my people in protest and documenting everything in our nations capital, Washington DC . The media will try to portray this as anarchy and mayhem, which it was, but there was a lot of love and compassion for those being wronged and standing up for themselves in a system that has continuously held them under a bending knee. The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America. We built this country and most certainly can tear it down! Im still rooting for whoever looting! they side eye us when we come in their stores, refuse to hire us, won’t stand with us and use the stores as a shelter for aiding protesters, but Im supposed to put a business with insurance for these type of things priority over human life? NAH. Take this L America and do right by the people who fuel this country or watch it burn, fuck it Im riding wit mines…

“Blindspotting”
Stumbled on this clip from the film blindspotting. Powerful scene but apart of me wish he blew his head off just to give the audience the realness of the situation.
Check it out
Sick and tired!
Another black man slain at the hands of racist police. I don’t have any words for it other than how utterly ridiculous it is that during a pandemic Black people have to riot and raise hell because of the racist injustices the people hired to protect us. I didn’t even watch the video it’s all the same to me now… black men being killed isn’t even shocking to me anymore, and that’s the scary part, it’s become the norm.
Also I just find it funny #They can protest with guns drawn but when a black crowd protests its tear gas and riot gear. When #They stormed government buildings with assault rifles they had a police escort damn near.
Anifa the Goat
Last night Hanifa.co released her Pink label Congo collection and the show has taken fashion tech and marketing to a new level! The show featured Anifa’s jaw dropping drapery and details on computer rendered models that flattered curves and accentuated the “Black” female body. Ground breaking tech with a humanitarian purpose behind it. Focusing on the corruption and hardships of The Congolese people who are forced to mine minerals for the world’s cell phone industry where over 60% of the planets source of this miners lies. Anifa being of Congolese decent explained her purpose behind the line and how she can use her platform to bring awareness to her culture and the issues tearing apart her home country. She’s had her clothes work by everyone from Lizzo to Kylie Jenner and featured in Essence, Team Vogue and Co-signed by Edward Enninful and Anna Wintour. Anifa is the 🐐!
The Winner of the #DrawAGoonChallenge is…..
This contest was one of the best ideas I’ve had this year and really connected a lot of artists and art enthusiast to not only the brand but to dope artists not only around the area DMV area but the world! The goal was to network and fuel collaboration through art and not some marketing ploy to gain from unbeknownst consumers. The entire competition was organic and just a creative way to pass the time. I’m glad we did this and there will be many more! Until then go place your @AmariDanielle x GoonMilk Shirt orders!
Mamba Day 2020
April 13th, 2016 Kobe Bean Bryant scored 60 points in his final NBA game! The shit was amazing and a testimony to his 20 year career of killing folk inbetween them lines!
RIP Chynna
The creative community took another lost yesterday as we found out that Philly’s sweetheart Chynna has passed due to an Overdose. I’m literally at a lost for words because of the mutual friends we have that are hurting right now, as well as shocked at the fact that so many of us young adults are dealing with addictions that most people will never know about. Me and Chynna weren’t close, we’ve run into each other through multiple times through the many intertwining music/art/fashion networks. A young bright talent that showed me and Pat around Philly’s trenches when we hadn’t a clue of where to go or what to do. I pray your soul is at peace now and this inspires someone to create and also inspires people to re-evaluate life and their vices.

Draw-A-Goon CoronaVirus Quarantine Drawing Contest!
Lets see who can draw their best interpretation of what a “Goon” is to them! As we all are shut in due to the Covid-19 epidemic I had an idea to collaborate with artists as well as put some money in someones pocket, all while promoting the brand and creativity. The Artwork doesn’t have to be Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel, or a drawing at all, if you have a slogan or t shirt design that you want to get off, submit that as well. Im looking at this as everyone’s chance to be a designer for a day and create a new revenue stream through social distancing as well as social networking. Thats how you turn a negative into a positive and Get Out Of Negative Situations!
