Ah, one of the most beautiful jazz tunes in my opinion has to be, just HAS to be, the nearness of you. I really enjoy the Norah Jones version, but Chris Botti nails it on trumpet, and Ella, Billie, and Sarah all do great versions but...it's just so smooth, so..mmmm. If I can find it i'll post a little snippet or something here, but if you like jazz then you've heard it, you know what I'm rappin' about. hehe.


I actually wanted to write a little bit on why I choose to go by Mr.Johnson. I know, pretty obvious it's my last name. I think more importantly for me it was a transition. One thats, obviously, not complete yet, but the original idea was that one day, I will be a Mr. Johnson. Thats the adult version of Danté Johnson. Mr. Johnsons is smooth, he's refined, classy, a sensitive, loving, kind man, with a heart for jazz. Yup, thats Mr. Johnson. Almost an alter ego. I think presently I find myself in between Mr. Johnson, and Danté the biggest difference being Danté is a child or young adult. He's scared, reckless, indecisive, but he has many good qualities of his own. Thats what I like to think of as Dante Johnson. Mr. Dante Johnson. It will be fun, and interesting all in the same to see my growth in the years. I can only hope I become the Mr. Johnson I'm headed for.

I've never really been that big on T.v women. Who knows why, I just don't find them all that attractive, but once in a while I do see a looker, and once in a while I DO fall in like with a character. This time it's Abby, or Pauley Perrette. She really is some what plain but that's probably why I like her. There is actually a website dedicated to her..that's a little extreme, but she is pretty badass. Just thought I would share. Go Pauley.

Yeah those who knows me are not surprised being as her look is right down my alley but watch NCIS sometime. Good show, and she's got an awesome personality in it. With that being said, and feeling somewhat geekier then my usual self. I am off. ZOOM.


Hahaha, just for fun. I know..not that funny, but still could you imagine this back then...the happy face and everything? haha.

Ah, these pictures are nothing all that special but they sort of serve to me a reminder. Good friend, good times. The middle picture has always been one of my favorites that I've done of anybody, and i haven't really done many shoots with people. Sure would like to though.
