Finesse is the recipient of the 2008 African-American Literary Award for Best Comedy Book

The African American Literary Award Show (AALAS) held its 4th Annual affair at the Gatehouse on September 25th. This year's award recipients include: Black Enterprise for Magazine of the Year, singer Jill Scott for Best Poetry, SNL alum and Essence columnist Finesse Mitchell for Comedy Book of the Year and Tyler Perry for screenwriting on the film Meet the Browns.

Awards went to authors, publishing houses and publications in over 30 categories in the presence of over 200 of their industry peers, celebrity guests and book club members. The awards celebrated the viability and accomplishments of authors of color. It is an event that works to fill a void in both the literary and the African American communities.

"The African American literary market has mushroomed into a multi-dimensional, commercially successful segment where readers spend over $375 million on books by black and non-black writers," said Yvette Hayward, CEO and Founder of AALAS.------"

---It's 2009, people!!!! Bush is out, Barack is in, but Cheney will probably still be running things from his secret cave behind the bookcase in the Oval Office, at least until he sucks Iraq dry for anything of value.

Nonetheless, now is not the time to keep complaining about how bad things are. It's time for us to get our hustle game and pull ourselves out of post-Bush depression. We can only laugh at a guy throwing shoes at our President for so long!!!

How bad a President are you when a guy knows he is going to take a Presidential ass-whippin' for throwing "The Finger" at our President in a room that close, let alone old school Michael Jackson penny loafers.

Anyway, lets switch gears and talk about what's next for me.  Even though I haven't done a movie since "Mad Money" in 2007 (so stop asking), I have been a regular on The TODAY Show (NBC), The Morning Show With Mike & Juliet (Fox), and The Tyra Banks Show (CW). I still write my very own column, "Oh, Brother!" for ESSENCE Magazine, dishing out love & relationship advice to over 8 million subscribers in circulation.

I still have the hottest no-holds-barred, funniest comedy show, currently touring and performing in every city, club and college that has heard of how HILARIOUS I am. You better ask somebody!!!

I promised myself I would take some time off to focus on some personal life goals like a new house (I have a pool Momma!), a new wife (she's awesome), some dogs (two Yorkies, and chocolate pit bull), a cat name Samuel Jackson (because he also hates rappers in movies and snakes on planes), a fish named Tupac (because everytime he dies, there's a new one in the bowl at the end of the week!) and I got my credit score above 750.  YES!  Why pay off old debts when people are selling new Social Security numbers for the low-low??!! 

My first book, "Your Girlfriends Only Know So Much: A Brothas Take on Mating and Dating for Sistas", is doing very well. Thank you to everyone who went out and bought it or ordered it online. In fact guys, the book is sooooo good, that last year your boy was the receipient of the 4th Annual African-American Literary Award for Best Comedy Book. Wow!

Thank you for the wonderful messages on Facebook and MySpace.  And YESSSS, the second book is on the way......uuummm, as soon as I get up from the poker table. Texas Hold'Em has a grip on my life.  Big shout out to Amy Poehler from "SNL" for teaching me how to play!!!

Big things poppin' in 2009 PEOPLE! I heard we might be in a recession, but sometimes ignorance is bliss.-----
