Yesterday, I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason.

Not simply an honor. An obligation.

To serve with purpose. To lead with conviction. To protect family, honor Brotherhood, and carry forward what was entrusted to me.

To be the kind of man who does not simply move through the world, but helps shape it.

The world needs stronger men, clearer principles, and leaders willing to carry the weight.

Stand firm. Build wisely. Lead from the front. Carry the light.

So mote it be. 🕯️👁️🕯️

Saw The Odyssey today. Wandered into an abandoned auditorium hidden inside the theater. Had an incredible bowl of pho. Finished it off with a beautiful dessert. Sometimes the best days are a collection of simple moments with the people who matter most to you! ❤️ taken in The Center Of The Universe by @dearjohnnieblack

NEW YORK OR NOWHERE.
Two lifelong Knicks fans. One from Queens. One from Manhattan. There wasn’t a chance we were missing this!
And unless you were there, it’s impossible to explain.
Every float had DJs wylin’, dropping banger after banger. The streets were shaking. Complete strangers were hugging. People hanging out windows. People on rooftops. People climbing scaffolding. People hanging from street signs. Everybody chanting.
Absolute madness.
Pure New York.
To the players, thank you for bringing a chip home!
To the NYPD, thank you for getting us behind the barriers and giving us unbelievable seats. Absolute class.
To Potbelly Deli, thank you for the sandwiches, the beverages, and saving the day with a bathroom when we needed it most. Real ones. 😂
And shout out to Timothy Chalamet, who was up on the PA rocking with the city and soaking it all in with the rest of us.
We’ve been lucky enough to experience some incredible moments in our lives, but this one is right at the top.
Nobody celebrates like New York.
Nobody throws a parade like New York.
Nobody brings the energy like New York.
Still can’t believe we got to witness it.
One hell of a day we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives.
New York or nowhere. taken in New York City Hall by @dearjohnnieblack

I know what it is to struggle. I know how heavy life can feel when you’re trying to find your way through something other people may not see. And I know how much it can matter when someone stays, listens, and reminds you that you don’t have to face it alone.

We want to keep this conversation going. Mental health deserves compassion, patience, and real support. A hard chapter does not define your worth or decide your future. Asking for help is strength.

Best day spent with some of the people I love most.

I’ve always thought The Outsiders was one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written, and being a lifelong Robert Frost fan only made its message hit that much harder. I genuinely couldn’t imagine how anyone could translate something that powerful to Broadway without losing what made it special.

Somehow, they did.

Absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely fucking heartbreaking. And I wouldn’t have wanted to experience it with anyone other than Tori and my Aunt Colleen.

Just missing my beautiful wife, Taylor.

Almost didn’t make this post.

Not because I didn’t want to celebrate you, but because the closer we got to your birthday, the harder it became for me to even process it. The days before, the day of… I kept trying to write something and nothing felt big enough for what you mean to me.

18 though… that’s crazy.

You didn’t just come into my life, you gave it direction. You gave me a reason to get up, to move different, to be better. You’ve always been my why.

People see us now, but they don’t know what it took to get here. And honestly… I wouldn’t change any of it. Every high, every low, every hard season, every sacrifice… it all led to you becoming who you are. Amore Fati.❤️

You filled a hole in my heart I didn’t even realize existed.

You’ve always worn your heart on your sleeve. Never hid it. Never tried to be somebody you weren’t. In a world that feels dark and disconnected sometimes, that matters more than you know. You’re a light. Straight up. And the world needs more of that.

I always tried to keep the bar high for you. Not just talk about it, but actually show you what a man does, what a parent does, what real love and sacrifice look like.

I remember working overnights and still coming home just to spend the whole day with you. Driving out of state and getting back exhausted but still making sure I was there. Watching YouTube videos trying to figure out how to do a high ponytail. Tea parties. Letting you paint my nails halfway up my fingers and not caring who saw it!

Before you, life wasn’t easy. Lotta pain. Lotta heartbreak. But I truly believe all of it made me the father I needed to be for you.

And if I could go back and erase all of it, but it meant I wouldn’t become that man for you? I wouldn’t change a thing.

This part’s hard… because for 18 years, everything I had went into you. But I know you’re meant for more than just staying close to me. The world needs you, your heart, your spirit, your kindness.

I’m just grateful. Truly grateful God chose me to be your father.

I love you always kid. No matter how old you get, that part never changes! ❤️ taken in New Milford, Connecticut by @dearjohnnieblack
