Episode 7 - Dinner

So things got a little heated at dinner. lol But seriously, there was a lot more conversation at the dinner table then what was shown. Brooke and I barking at each other was just a small topic of discussion, and it was actually a really low-key, fun night. Our debate had nothing to do with what happened with Christian, and nothing to do with the aftermath. It was 100% about her usage of the word "disastrous" when describing our date. Maybe I was nervous, but a first date in front of a camera crew would make most men nervous (or at least i think so).
Ah well, I was really trying my best to grub hard on Bridgett's cooking that night. Although shes got nothing on me when it comes to skills in the kitchen, I have to give her some credit.... That Georgia Peach can cook! The food had me so caught up, that the only thing I even took away from that exchange with Brooke was "you are hella good-looking". LOL See, even in the most awkward of conversation, you got to take with you the positive!
I am just glad that we have all moved on. I know that the show spread this little, tiny piece of drama into three episodes, but in real life this lasted a total of like 4 days. It was just a blip on the radar screen which happened to make good television, and wasn't nor will ever be the drama that it is made out to be.
On a different note, I moved last week! I moved to a different location in Harlem, and am so excited. Shout out to my boys Billy, Pretty Lou, AP and WEB. These guys, on about 1 hour notice, trekked all the way from Trenton NJ to Harlem to get me moved in a random Tuesday night. I love you guys for this, and although I have met some great people since I have been here in Harlem, there is something special about the people who have been with you from the start.
Also, there is a chance I may be making an appearance in Philly sometime this weekend. I am not sure the details or the exact day and time, but I will be sure to keep you all posted on anything that could be popping off in the city of brotherly love!

Episode 6 - Drama!

First off, I would like to thank both Johnny Utah’s and everyone that came out to support the show. It was a great success last night, and I think everyone had a good time. The liquor was flowing, the show was running on 3 screens, and you all got to see the big man ride the bull!!! Its not everyday you get to see a 6’6 black man ride a bull, so I’m glad I could bless everyone with an experience of a lifetime. I hope that we can do more events like this in the near future, so I will be sure to keep you all posted.
But about the show…. Whoa! Drama-filled night last night and I am pretty proud to say that I was able to stay away from the majority of it. Christian and I had our talk, I told him how I felt (which you all saw), he told me how he felt and it’s done. I am a pretty rational dude most of the time, so I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. If a woman that looked like that was coming at you in a club, would Pierre Downing be the first thing that comes to your head? You don’t even need to give me an answer, because I already know. Plenty of fish in the sea, so please don’t worry about me. LOL
Don’t forget to leave any comments or remarks about me or the show. I read every post on a daily basis, and don’t be shy about asking me some tuff questions. I will do my best to answer even the most hard hitting ones right here on the blog site.

Harlem Heights Meets the Wild West

This Monday night on March 30th, I along with most of my cast mates will be hosting a viewing party at Johnny Utah’s in Manhattan on 25 West 51st Street. I invite personally invite all of my friends and fans to come and support the show and have a really dope time. The show will be shown on 3 huge screens (I think something crazy like 12 feet each), and there will be drink specials the entire night. The episode will be shown at its normal time of 10 o’clock, so I would recommend getting there as early as possible. It should be a really fun night; especially because this is a very different kind of event from any of our other parties we have hosted. For those that have been there, you know exactly what I mean. For those that haven’t, I will put it to you in 2 words…. MECHANICAL BULL!!! Now if that doesn’t peak your interest, then I don’t know what would.
Tell a friend, tell a relative, tell a friend of a relative or even tell a relative of a friend. But regardless, I hope to see all of you there and I may even let you buy me a shot of tequila! lol

Keri Hilson Album Release Party

Tuesday night was the Keri Hilson Album Release party, and I have good news and bad news. The good news is I had a really good time and she looked absolutely beautiful. The bad news is I did not get her phone number. But there is always next time! Lol
But seriously, events like this are crazy. I am not sure when/if I will ever get used to being invited to stuff like this. I am still just a kid from Trenton NJ, so I am not ashamed to say that an event like a Keri Hilson release party puts me in awe a little bit. I am not taking something like this for granted, because I understand how lucky I am. But don’t get it twisted… I made sure I had as much fun as humanly possible. Lol
I attached some pictures from the party. Let me know what you think!

Episode 5 - Pierre Goes Home

Big night last night! Not only did all of you get an inside look at where I come from, but you got to meet the people that made me who I am today. As much as I love the action and energy of Harlem, there is nothing like coming back to Trenton. Relaxing, seeing my 3 favorite women (who are the center of my world), and a home cooked meal (lol, which happened to be Pizza Hut!!!). Is there anything better? Having Jason coming home with me and seeing my people and my city was important to me, because after all we are cut from the same cloth. Of all the people who I have grown close to in Harlem, Jason is the one dude I knew would appreciate my love for my family and for my city. Although Jason and I are very different people, our upbringing and sense of family values are very similar. I love you for that mydude!
Shout out to my cousin (aka my brother) Jab! Jab IS Trenton. There is no one on earth who knows Trenton better then Jab, so Jason got the best tour Trenton has to offer because of Jab. I love you FAM! But life still goes on back in Harlem. I'm sure the question on everyone’s mind is how I feel about Brooke and Christian. I'm sure you want to know if I'm still cool with Christian, and how do I feel about Brooke.

The questions of the day! So you really want to know? Do you really want to know how I feel about my dude Christian? Well, I will tell you. I will let you all know how this impacts me...
Next Monday at 10 PM on BET. LolAny thoughts, opinions or questions on the show? Let me know right here on my blog! And thanks to all of you. I wouldn't be here without your support.
