When you were a child did you ever think about what things would be like when you grew up? I saw anything and everything to be possible no matter how ridiculously far fetched it sounded to those older than I was.When I was a child I thought a lot about what it would be like to be and adult. I used to think
When I grow up to be big me
Imma explore the world
and all of it's possibilities.
I'll be flying to England to have lunch with the Queen
I'll conquer my dreams
and vacation on the sea.
To you these may sound like the immature thoughts of a child. Dreams that could never come true because they'll forget about it and never follow through. I guess the belief that nothing is impossible for me to achieve is just one that has followed me throughout my life. Because of this I have been able to actually accomplish some of my big idea dreams. And it helps me to strive to take my big ideas a step further. I'm big me now so it's time that I do big things.

Are your priorities in order?

What is the point of a new years resolution? Why make a promise to yourself that you don't intend to keep? If you ever really kept your new years resolution then good for you. I know that you feel a sense of accomplishment when the new year comes because you want to take it a step or two further for the next year and you are looking forward to it without a doubt. The way I see it is, if you intend on keeping a promise to yourself then you never really have to make the promise. its just the matter of whether or not you're going to accomplish your goals. Everyone is always anxious to reveal their new years resolution but if they intended on keeping their promises to themselves they wouldn't reveal them until they were completed because if everyone knows what you're up to then the harder it is going to be to not get distracted. If you really want to do something different or try something new then start small. Especially if you're going to vocalize it. You wouldn't want anyone to think you were incapable of accomplishing minor goals. Some people are so worried about what their "neighbor" is doing that they aren't doing anything themselves. A Nise man once said If it's not about making money then what is it all for? he said "If It's not about making money then I'm not doing it". That should be your motto for 2011. You aren't being paid to hate on the next person so go do something that's going to make you money. Are your priorities in order?

Long Distance Relationships

When you think of long distance relationships plenty of questions come to mind. How young is too young to be in a long distance relationships? Does absence make the heart grow fonder or is it out of sight out of mind? How do you make it work and what do you expect to come of it? All of these questions and more come to mind when thinking on the subject. When thinking of having a long distance relationship most people turn their noses up to the idea. Automatically the thought is that having a relationship is hard enough when you see one another on the regular basis so it's out of the question to have one with a person that you can't see. Phone calls just aren't enough. But there are other ways of looking at it I think. There are other factors in the relationship that keep you together and I'm sure no one would go through a relationship without some sort of communication/visitation plans especially with the technology that we have now. It's not as hard as it once was I'm sure. We have several different instant messaging tools, phones have advanced and of course there's Skype. If you want to see one another then you're a car/plane/bus/train ride away so if it's real and you hope that something will come of it then all hope really isn't lost. There are a scarce amount of relationships that start out with long distance status. And if they do then most of the time it's a teenage romance that is very short lived (much like my own short lived long distance romance as a teenager). My view is that love is what it is and you can only control it to a certain extent. I understand how they come about and that sometimes they work out but the question I want the answer to How does it work out? I'm sure everyone has their secret to success!!!

What Do You Want From Me

Accomplishing your goals takes hard work, dedication, and commitment. Often times it occupies the majority of your time, especially if you’re following your dream. Of course you don’t want to but you have to set people aside and even cut people off if they don’t agree with what you’re trying to accomplish because they will only try to prohibit you from forward movement. Everything you have goes into this dream because you refuse to fail. All of your time, energy, and focus is on whatever it is you’re aspiring to do. Downtime? Yeah right! Time with your friends? That has to wait. Extracurricular activities consist of devising a plan to succeed. If you’re serious you work around the clock to achieve your dreams. And if you’re anything like me then your thought process is that you’re going to enjoy reaping the benefits of all of your hard work. There are people who don’t understand this concept and feel as though they should be put first and my question is what do you want from me? What do you think I can do for you right now? I’m focusing on what’s important in my life and if you aren’t on board then you gets none of this focus so please know that it’s time to throw your deuces up!

It's Art People

It’s Art People

The world is our canvas so stop hating on the next mans painting and start painting your own. Paintings, photographs, instruments, drawings, writing, dance, martial arts They’re all obvious art forms. But what about hair? Make-up? Fashion? This too is art.

It is a form of self expression. It takes knowledge and skill to achieve a look that no one else has thought of yet.

Art- any system of rules and traditional methods for the practice of a craft, trade or profession: the application of knowledge and skill (2) works designed to give intellectual pleasure as, music, sculpture, and esp. pictorial representation (3) skillful workmanship.

Artists- a performer in an art of entertainment

Are you not entertained? Of course you are because if you weren’t you would no longer pay attention. Why is it that people always hate on one another? When a new artists comes out people always expect them to fail or for them to be wack. Why? It isn’t as hard to support someone as it is to hate. It’s so much less effort in supporting others successes or keeping your mouth shut. The world is our canvas. Take advantage of it. Whether you cover it with words, music, fabric or colors make it yours. And when you see the next mans canvas don’t hate because you wont have to.

Inner Workings of the Artistic Mind (Writer's Edition)

Inner Workings Of the Artistic Mind

Many people have asked me to describe the inner workings of the artistic mind. I can’t speak for anyone else but I’m all over the place all of the time. I think that most people who like to write like to talk as well. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am. I’m different from them in that I don’t talk much. People ask me why and my answer is simple.  I don’t like the idea of wasting words.  Also I am very observant and I think a lot. Not only do I write because it’s what I love to do but I also write so that I can continue thinking without forgetting my thoughts. This helps so that they aren’t competing for my attention. There are times when I have a sound mind allowing me to appreciate my surroundings and time. I love times like this because it allows me to prepare for what’s to come next. It allows me to stop worrying if the time will come that this is no longer fun for me. It’s a time to let my pen run freely. Times like that only come on two occasions. It comes as the quiet before the storm or after the chaos has already come and gone. Sometimes my mind works so fast that I can only hope to keep up with it. It frustrates me when it happens sometimes because when it happens it’s at the most inopportune time. Like when I just think of something that I know is going to be amazing when I’m done. I forget what may come next because I’m trying to keep up with myself. My thoughts are rude to one another often interrupting one another fighting to keep my attention and to get their points across.

As is stated before I can’t really explain the inner workings of the artistic mind because the result that comes from the thoughts should be enough.

She Can't Strut In My Pumps

She's tall and thin with long pretty hair

and her head is full of nothing but air

She can't strut in my pumps.

She has a gorgeous smile and a real nice smile

and she does exercise... her mouth

running it for miles and miles

She can't strut in my pumps.

She has fair skin and captivating eyes

ones so transparent 

you can see past her innocent disguise

She can't strut in my pumps

She has an embrace that gives you a taste of comfort

and a kiss that gives you butterflies

and when she speaks she gives you...no incite

She can't strut in my pumps.

I'm short, petit, and I have a look that I own

I attract you with my benevolence and

Intrigue you with my intelligence.

She can't strut in my pumps.

Whether I'm in sneakers or stilettos 

you cant take your eyes off of me

and you can look into my eyes to get a story.

She can't strut in my pumps

The natural hollow on each side of my face 

form when I smile and it drives you wild. 

And you can't function properly without my witty style. 

She cant' strut in my pumps.

When we hold hands a warmth runs through your soul

and when we part you clench your fist to keep the feeling

of my hand in your hold

She can't strut in my pumps.

You like my devotion to my craft and the authenticity that I embody

Capturing your attention, making you want to know more of me.

She can't strut in my pumps. 

I have an embrace that is the epitome of ease

 and a kiss that makes you weak in the knees.

Aren't these the things that you want?

If so

She most definitely can't strut in my pumps.
