MAP'nOUT w/ Ali "A's" Abdullah

Poor baby, Ali had surgery!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if you haven't heard from me, but this past Monday - 12/15, I had surgery on my foot! Yes, thank you, thank you, I am ok!
- In case you are wondering, it was time for me to have the metal, plate and screws remove from my foot. I was more than a year overdo! Just never had the time to do it!

-Side note: 3 years ago, I fractured my fibula in a pick up game of basketball! From there, I was told that medical surgery was required...which includes fixing and implementing temporarily tools to hold my bones together....Ouch!

However, Monday surgery went well and I have some very funny footage!

As you know, I am filled with joy and is always positive. Check back on Monday for the footage.

Ali - Meets Jesus Son

Check this guy out, he claims to be a son of Jesus...He looks absolutely ridiculous...Mind you, last night it was 13 degrees outside! He claims he was warm and couldn't feel the weather. Come on! Let's be real!Till Next time!!

It's all love you guys! Smile more daily!

Saeedah - Dream Girls Audition

Sooo, I attempted what most have not, at least those not persuing a career in singing or acting... I auditioned for the upcoming play... DREAMGIRLS! I amused myself, getting on line at 9am in 20 degree weather and standing outside on line until some time after noon. I observed the hundreds of girls before me and behind me who had trained, aspired, and prayed for this opportunity. And here I was, my only practice, karaoke the week before, lol, but with my toes cold, nose frozen, heart racing and a shiver in my voice, I bellowed out the beautiful lyrics to "A Change is Going to Come" by Sam Cooke.

See video below!

Ali @ Yankee Owners Meeting

Today, December 4th @ 11am, I was invited to a private owners conference at Yankee Stadium.....Nothing but the bosses here! It was an honor for me to be there. Check pics. Unfortunately, no one wanted to take pics!

My Sister, Saeedah's Post-Audition

This is extra late, but a couple of weeks ago, my sister, Saeedah stood outside the APOLLO for 11 hours to audition for the

"Dream-Girls" Broadway Play!

Below you will see a moving/inspirational video of Saeedah's audition. (This is just another example of, if she can do it, so can you!!!)

Prior to me shooting, she mentions that this was her official auditioning wardrobe and voice!

Check this out! She has talent, don't you agree? Ohhh and boy the way, we were in my apartment.......!!! (We live in the same building...painful!)

BTW, Dad, I feel you.......STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Lol, all jokes aside, great job sis!

Ali @ NJ NETS SEASON OPENER

Hello all, I apologize for my delayed post but I have been quite ____...but no excuse! Again,  I apologize to all my friends, fans and family. :-(#)

 This past weekend was awesome...I was all over the place. Saturday, I volunteered at the NYC HS Cross Country Mayors Cup at Van Courtlandt Park and attended the NJ Nets Home Season Opener (see video below). And Sunday, ummmm just grinded!

 

Soooo, off to the game..... the game was good! The Nets lost in their Home Season Opener by 20 to the Golden State Warriors! Wow! And my man Monta Ellis wasn't even playing! Damn, just imagine if he was???? The Nets would have probably lost by 50! Just playing. However, I enjoyed myself, as well as my date, Fatima (See video).  

A lil about my date- Fatima was mad at me prior to the game! For what? I don't know! Now if you ask yourself why.... ummm because she is all grilled about her beliefs on what I do and how I live my life..... but, I ended up buttering her up and making a movie out of the situation (whatever that means). So, overall, my charm adjusted her swagger and I ended up making her smile throughout the whole night! What a great guy I am!! AWWWWWWW!

Check out my videos below. Don't laugh to hard!

Peace, 

Ali "A's" aka "Prince Ali" aka "Hot Chocolate" aka Caramel aka "Nice & Sweet" Abdullah

Ali @ NY Knicks Season Opener vs Miami Heat - 10/29/08

Hoooooorrrrraaaayyyy! The Knicks won! Congrats everyone! Big up New York! We are officially undefeated! Right Ben!?! - (See below video)

However, the game was great.....Very fast pace, organize and exciting until the last 4 minutes of the game...but, my man Nate "the Great" Robinson was able to pull through at crunch time! Much respect 'partna'!

I really enjoyed myself. As you already know, the NY Knicks & NY Liberty always take care of me -with tickets and invites to exclusive events. But, this time around, new comer, Brett Cullen hooked me up with executive Skybox (suites) seats for me and my friend/business partner/film producer Ben Rosen to utilize. (see above pictures).

The food and atmosphere was great! You will definitely see more of me at this years Knicks Games!

I'll see you there!

OHHH, and by the way, above are pictures of me and former NBA (NY Knicks) Players, Charles D. Smith & Kenny "Skywalker". They are very cool guys! And, Yes, I am very short!!!!

Ali- YOGA @ LULU LEMON

Hey, Hey!

Yesterday was very peaceful. I pretty much hung around my home for most of the day- I cooked, slept and watched movies with my friend! I also, made a lil Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! What a great man I am!!

However, the only time I went outside was to head over to LULU LEMON for Yoga Class! It's been a while since I've practice Yoga, so I was just getting back into the flow! But, I managed to do well!

However, class was pretty intense! We were doing a selection of conditioning drills, from kickboxing, to sit-ups, to push-ups to even boxing (jabbing & Weaving)! GOD DAMN!!

I guess you can imagine how tired I was - See picture (1 & 2)

- Also, class was jam packed and there were only 3 guys in class, so you can just imagine how much fun I had with the ladies!?!? Ummmm!

Overall, this was a great class - I'll score this an A+
______________________

BTW, it's a great thing what Lulu Lemon is doing..these guys have an awesome yoga inspired athletic apparel collection - they also offer a variety of charity benefits and opportunities for the community and free Yoga practice for the all interested individuals, at their West-Side Flagship store (64th st & Broadway)!

So, 'Yogees' & 'Yogets', come out and support Lulu Lemon!

We had a great time. We ate, relax, talked, laughed and chilled....Such a great time! Thank you Grandma for being such a good host.

Ali is back at Basketball - yesterday - 10/16

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been emphasizing on some of the positive things I can do to keep me Happy and in shape....so, my homegirl Ginger suggested - get back into playing Basketball ....not a bad idea, so I made a few phones calls, and voila, I was back in the gym!! Now, I have to say that it's been 3 years since I've played BBall (due to my injury)...But I did very well... But afterwards I was in serious pain!!! I couldn't feel my legs nor did I have any energy!

It was terrible! I feel like I'm 40! And I am far from that. So I encourage you guys to stay in shape!


Above is a picture of me from last night! As you can see, when word got out that I (Ali "A's" Abdullah) was getting back into the gym, everyone attended....It was a sell out crowd!

AFTER

Last FRIDAY: Business/Pleasure - 10/10/2008

I grind everyday! Plus everyday is a good day!

Last Friday I knew my BFF (lol) was coming into town to hang with me for the weekend, but I first had to take care of some business.....

1st stop - a meeting with the NY Knicks! (See pictures 3 & 4)-

- My meeting went well! Dan over at the Knicks showed lots of interest in what I was proposing! Plus, there will be a large scale opportunity, that my organization - 5th Avenue Sports League & the New York Knicks will work together at one of there games!!! Wow! So, at this point the opportunities are there, it's just time to perform!

- Big Shout out to Dan and the Knicks organization for treating me so well. I even snapped a few pics of their office! Terrific!!

Moving on....

2nd Stop - a catch up with my favorite - Simmons Jewelry Company! (See Pictures 1&2)

Their collection is so dope! It ranges from the 'HELLO KITTY COLLECTION' (picture#1) for female youth/teenagers to the luxury Women's & Men's Collection! Get yours because I got mines.

Saeedah's Girls Night Out

O my goodness! Have you ever had a day where you'd rather go to the gun range instead of home after a hard day of work? Good! Im so glad its not just me. Its quite important to keep at least two good girlfriends in your life for a "girls night"... Fellas you too can have a night with the boys, if you aren't already doing so.

Key Ingredients as follows:

1. Wine or some other alcohol infused beverage (from the local community Liquor Store, of course) - Its the catalyst the begins to ease the tension, and create the illusion of joy, lol... Wooo hoo does it work!

2. Hookah Pipe - Since I am against the use of drugs, yes, even Marijuana, smoking tobacco enhanced with fruit flavors & molasses gives you that mellow feeling without the addiction and without stealing your mama's fur coat and selling it to someone like my Dad (who loves a bargain even if its from a street hustler) for $20.

3. Chinese Food - But uhh we only ordered broccolli w/ brown sauce and white rice (that damn vegetarian friend of mine and that other "wonderful" friend who watches her figure, even when shes sleeping lol) uhh sidebar- what is brown sauce?? How is a sauce's name a color?? Lmlsao!! I never understood that, ie green & red sauce at the spanish restaurants... Hmm, but hey I eat it all the time, guess I should start putting more thought into the foods I eat with names that describe only the color, lol.

4. A funny homemade video of your tour in DR during which WE (myself a.k.a. "Body Beautiful" and Mari a.k.a. "Wonderful") were made to wear someone else shoes (wet), walking up a stoned trail, to waterfalls that we climbed (still unsure who we did it), Wonderful losing her shoe and breaking her toenail which ruined (what she calls) " most beautiful french pedicure", lol as one tour guide flirted with me, and I punked out on the last 2 waterfalls, lol, truly great entertainment!!

5. Last but not least having Good Friends like Day a.k.a. Ms. Jenkins, and Mari a.k.a. Wonderful around you for laughs, venting, jokes, stories, comparisons, emotional discovery & processing, relationshhip talk, sleep over and just good old fashion THERAPY!

The pics above are from this past Monday's girl night... Wonderful & Day are going to kill me! But they still love me! Mm hmm, ya'll do!! LolI can't wait for next girl's night! The 20th, be on the lookout! :o)Attempt your own girls night, fellas night, and you'll see how great it is, to let loose and relax!

* Day is the one seated on the floor, and Mari "Wonderful" is with the love of her life (her cell phone) on the couch. You guys already know me in the single pic!! (in case anyone is trying to figure it out, the bright orange object behind me is O.J. a.k.a. Orange Juice, a stuffed animal horse I recently won at Great Adventures! Woo hoo) lol....see ya soon! =

This Weekend: BLOOD MANOR

Thank God for the weekend!

- This past weekend, my 'best friend' (remember the song?) Renee aka "Storm" was in town hanging with your boy (Ali) for the entire weekend and we did a ton of things....don't you agree "Storm"!?!? U better! However, there are so many things that I could Highlight; like the last minute pictures and bracelets down in Soho, the Indian food, city island and more, but one particular thing has been hangind over my head for the past two days is my new favorite -"BLOODMANOR" (click here)

I have to say, Blood Manor is a scariest (S**T) attraction in the city of New York!!

Above are some media release pictures detailing some of the props and characters.

Additionally, I will post up my personal Pictures and Video of me (ALi) and Renee entering and leaving Blood Manor....It is very funny!

* PS: I LOST MY VOICE INSIDE!

Stay Tune!

Big thank you to Claire O'connor & Jim Faro for the VIP hookup!
