The Moment

The moment...

exists , at the point you realize that are you are satisfied, that you have what you want (or at least know what you may want). Its not that you have everything figured out but its that split second when you feel comfortable,, when you realize you dont want to be anywhere else. This can be the peace you have in the midst of the storm, It can be the feeling you get after a good surprise when you know you are appreciated even though prior too you were feeling the opposite. ,or it could be as simple being with someone whos company you really enjoy;maybe a grandparent,an aunt,or uncle, a parent or sibling, but for me at this Moment its my girlfriend, my doo-wop my lady. And i see in this moment that i am comfortable, i am happy and i am satisfied... i love you.


.peace and good living

FANTASTIC CONTRAPTION is instant SATISFACTION

Hello one, hello ALL!

Check out this game. i heard about it from mmm..mary jane's blog i read a few days ago but didn't pay any attention to it. i just got finished playing it for like an hour it literally ate up my time; but i don't mind because i don't have anything to do. Sunday definitely is related to Monday is some way that i have yet to name.

Anyway check out the game at the link below. The game uses physics and puzzles to keep you on your toes and constantly thinking. The tutorial is very helpful and the music is good "let me figure this thing out" music, so i hope you enjoy.

88 Keys &heartbreak-theatre dropping sooner !!!

SO tomorrow 88 keys drops his album "The Death of Adam" about this man named adam who has died ..LOL pretty self explanatory. nah there is more to the concept but im not going to explain it all.

88 keys has produced for Musiq, 2pac,the Pharcyde,mos def, black star,etc.

I highly recommend that you music heads purchase this CD. Its a 14-track project executive produced by Kanye West.
featuring Kanye West, Phonte (of Little Brother) a very under appreciated MC in my mind, Redman, kid cudi, Bilal, Shitake Monkey.

i think i will hold off on the purchase for the sake of my mission (the previous BLOG)!

in other news Kanye West and Ludacris' albums have been pushed up to the nov. 24th...(even though i thought ye's released on the nov.22nd)


But for the moment. I am downloading The Tanya Morgan Mixtape,Von Pea, and 3 other artists from their camp (Elucid, Che Grand, and Spec Boogie) they should be delectable! all apart of the FINAL FOUR SERIES

here the link for the Final FOUR SERIES

MUSIC and MOVING AHEAD

You have to sacrifice to get where you want to be.

I am currently spending something like 30-35 dollars a month on music. this money could be saved and directed toward saving up for my headshots and signing with a local agency.

So i decided to only buy Kanye West's new CD and Common's CD maybe BP3..idk this cuts down on the Cd's i would buy in between these (moka only, cool calm pete ,outkast(stankonia), dido(Safe Trip Home), the killers(day&night?), feist ["the reminder" re-release], erykah badu (new amerykah,pt.1), and n*e*r*d (fly or die), & more)

so... i know what i want and im gonna get it. Once im there i can buy all the Cd's i want. Thank you and goodbye!

.peace & focus... im gonna sit here and eat my frozen apple!

D a Weekend Part 2

Sunday-
I sleep in late, waking up at noon. I call my girlfriend we talk she starts my day off GREAT! i take a shower wash my face do my weekly facial, and i then plan to eat some good food(it was good) and begin to find out why i am Hella behind in Arabic, and begin to practice for Guitar (on Tuesday).

However, i finish eating and my mother asks can i buy some laundry detergent and some water(i don't mind);so i get ready and i leave. First i head to Kroger i get into the parking lot and I realize there is no money in my account because i did not have the chance to deposit my check this weekend, so i have to go to the bank and then go to a closer Kroger, so i do.

I deposit my check in my Acct. and then I stroll on to Kroger. (Now I am feeling REALLy good a little turned off by myself because i am a tad unfocused, but nonetheless i am good.) i am listening to the Evolution of Robin Thicke- teach u a lesson,need love,wanna love u girl,shooter, Lost without you...in that order)

I arrive at Kroger, get my ipod, wallet, grocery list and phone i double check to make sure i have those items. I look around one last time, get up tie my scarf tighter and close the door. I don't hear a jingle i look in the car and BAM there are my keys, in the ignition the car is OFF(thank god). But the keys... the keys are in the LOCKED CAR!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

So I look at the windows, they are all up, DANG!I cant use a hanger.. i don't wanna stay out here when i cant think of anything to do so i go in and proceed with shopping. I finish shopping i see my man Marcus J. say wat-up, we chat. then i tell him what happens.. i leave and proceed to figure out what to do. so i make the first of what will be 18 calls to my mother (its 2:47pm). I call and call my mother and my pops... NO ANSWER!!!!!! they are home mind you.

I begin thinking can i buy a wedge to wedge my door and then get a hanger and undo the lock... i go to the dollar store ...NOPE... i go back into KROGER...NOPE!I decide maybe i will go to these gas stations near me and see if they have any type of locksmith service. I go into both of them and what do they say..."No, but you can come tomorrow!" WTF fools I need it now yo! i gotta get home tonight..AAHHH! so i leave. So i then go into Dress Barn of all places. While they dont have a wire hanger they do have a smart lady who tells me to call the city police dept. and they can unlock my car for me. I say thank you and think to myself finally its solved!(its 5:03p)

I call the city police dept. only to hear that they only unlock cars if a child is in the car...WTF! i am a citizen in need. You are a person of the law its Sunday and you are telling me you cant even come and help me get my keys out my CAR. B to the S!
so the representative says to call AAA or a locksmith service. I call AAA but i am transferred to a Locksmith company... bunch a BULLY.

so the dude asks my location and car make, i tell him . I am feeling better now b.c i know things are coming to and end and i can proceed with my Sunday. I figure what a weekend this was(wait till u read part 1). but it ends with my mistake and the good service of a locksmith...

about 20minutes pass and the dude arrives, not in a company vehicle but in a KIA...his KIA. I'm like whoa this is fishy is this man on some type of scam tip. Because this sure feels like one. I direct him to my car. The first words out of his mouth are... oh man i know how this can be, let me help you man....NOT! his first words are ... do you know about the fees! i say no, he informs me and i go internally ballistic. BUT who else can i contact. my parents aren't picking up my siblings are out of state or too far in-state!

So he does his "job" more like "a job" and gets the keys out! i pay this sumgum and i am now pissed off. Pissed off that i paid him, pissed off i locked my keys in car for the umpteenth time this week. Pissed off its so cold that i cant feel my fingers. Pissed off my parents sleep now but not when when i come in the house late! just pissed off!

Finally i am in the car in an anger i haven't felt in a while. i take it out on the pedal shifting between 55-60 in a 45(pretty stupid esp.if i woulda gotten pulled over, i know) then my parents call!

this was my weekend. football was wack on TV today too and i have yet to do any Arabic homework.

.peace and awareness.
i hope this makes someone else's day better..lol. or brightens you mood. I'm outy!

PROCRASTINATING optomistic VOTER

So... Tuesday is well...you know you see it everywhere...

But i was sitting down today and thinking hmm... who else is running for election... who else can i vote for.

I'm not voting for McCain because of his clone like feel, not too mention i don't like the guy. but mostly because if he has to step down Palin is a no-go! she doesn't give me a feeling of security or assurance at all a sidekick , more like a parrot to McCain.

I'm not voting for Obama only because he's black. If i vote for anyone it will be because of their stances. But know its not gonna be MyCane or Failin Palin!

So I have a Mock Ballot and it Lists all the other party's: Green, Libertarian, U.S. Taxpayers,and Natural Law.

I am currently looking up Green Party which has two women running for presidency/vice presidency(Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente ) maybe I'll vote for them? sure they may not win but if i agree with there views why not.

I do fear that If MyCane wins that my vote would have counted in swaying things the other way but at the end of the day I voted for who i liked and agreed with the most. I think its best i research Obama/Biden and the other Parties so i make the best decision i can even if it is 3days before Election!


.:peace.

21 day challenge

So I was talking with my friend Sunnie, and he brought up eating better and becoming more healthy people.
I added that I have recently been considering vegetarianism again(i had done it when i was younger for about 3 months and vegan for about 2).
We both pointed out that Andre 3000, Murphy Lee,Common, and Dead Prez are all Vegetarians and that they are also cats that look to be in pretty darn good health and shape.

For me it has nothing to do with losing weight (have yo seen my handsome slim body o_O)
Its more of eating healthy and eating less meats that are being changed so rapidly like beef, and pork, and some chicken(as much as i don't like to think about it..oh my dear chicken :( )

But I do believe that our beef (that is mass produced in the fast food world) So i already planned on cutting down that consumption i do not believe that all the USDA approves should be as much as meats are recalled .
I cant say that I'll drop FISH or chicken totally but beef and pork. I stopped eating pork a while ago, so thats no prob.

Its a matter of eating more fruits, and vegetables really for me and exercise. Many people feel than because im slender (lol Darene) that i am healthy... and the same for other slim...slender folks..Untrue we still need to exercise and be active daily!

But back to the title i have made an agreement to go 21 days with no candy, beef, or pork, along with Sunnie Moon!

I want this to lead to a more healthier way of living. if i do go vegetarian eventually. Know that i will still eat good there are many great foods without meat but most are outside of the American Food taste or are made of soy (don't knock it till you taste it)!

So today is Day 2! 19 left to go monday is the official 3 day hump. I'll be ok! I think I'll continue living like this even after Nov. 22nd believe it or not. But as my mother says ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS"


.:peace.
