Upcoming NewYear

As the new year approaches, its always easy to make what i call an "on the spot decision". Meaning, its always easy to think of great new resolutions to make in hopes that you can achieve them throughout the year.

While I do not personally believe in making new years resolutions, I encourage you all to create resolutions that are reasonable and obtainable. Theres nothing more depressing than not reaching a goal, especially if you set a time frame to do so. I, myself, like to set a high goals, high standards, that are not beyond the means to reach them (if that makes any sense). lol.

Theres nothing more rewardable than reaching a goal and i hope that you do as we end a decade and approach a new one.

Good luck to you all. Have a safe and fun New Years.

Nine: The Movie

So the movie "Nine" is certainly a movie that I am very interest to see. Even though there are some pretty big names in the movie, I am sssoo excited to see it. The movie comes out December 25th, Christmas Day, and i am gonna rally up some of my friends and go and see it.

Intrestingly enough, Ive never been in to musicals but this movie comes just on the heels of my interest in burlesque and pin-upy style era. I think im gonna go and buy the soundtrack album that comes out on Tuesday, December 21st.

I was really blown away with this song I came across from Fergie performing the song "Be Itlaian".

Poem: Cigarette Smoke

Coming home smelling like cigarette smoke,
Its so intoxicating the sent makes me choke.
The thoughts are so purifying and I’m so innocent
Stripping off my clothes I’m glad I’ve reached the end of it.

A shower is necessary
Been every place but the commissary
You’ve rendered my body dry
Tryna put you outta my mind, i wont even try

You’ve rounded the ash tray
But I don’t remember ever saying play
The bud of your cigarette burns my body deep
Ever since you lit her up she started her creep

I’ve watched you all night
Watched your eyes run from the light
Wont escape this nicotine
Can only accept this kind of thing

Lighting up your cigarette can only have one result
Your reading my mind and I cant even say its your fault
Smoking in this room and you know i cant breathe
You have me to your advantage and you wont take heed

Yes I’m coughing and choking I’m trying to get away
Your laughing not crying and you tryna keep me at bay
This cant be fair cause you know i like you
I’ve tried to deny you but you know that i do
Cant keep from around you and your second hand smoke
I have to build up a tolerance or I’m grabbing my coat
Don’t have very many options here
So I have to be ready to make my intentions clear
I’m grabbing the cigarette and where is the lighter, I’m smoking this cigarette and not having no fear.

Song: Head First

Here is a song I wrote. It took me about 15 minutes to write. I guess I find some of my best work is done in a short amount of time. But this song, "Head First" is something that is simple, yet powerful. The message is clear and has already began to help me come to terms with a situation in my life. But I hope u can enjoy it. PS, the picture of the driving car was ssoooo what I was picturing while I was writing...but the car would be black..and at night too. lol

"Head First"

Seat belts on.
Ive already checked my rear view.
Keys in the ignition and its time to go.

Only lookin at the life I use to have.
No need to check my break lights.
I wont be slowing down, no not even for you.

And ive got the car all feuled up
Had the mechanic check under my hood.
Nothing is holding me back.
Ill be leaving my tread on the road.
Putting the car in drive now.
Im driving head first.

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go

Ive go to go
Im driving head first.
Head first

Approching this bridge.
Aint taking no detours.
Ive already checked GPS.

Cant see beyond the past,
But theres only one direction I wana go.
I wont be looking for the rear view, no not even for you.

And ive got my mind all made up.
Wont be changing my mind even if I could.
Nothing is holding me back.
Ill check the gasket but they already blowed.
The cars in drive and I dont care how.
Im driving head first.

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go.

Ive go to go.
Im driving head first.
Head first,

The only excuse ill have to park,
Is if i run in to a dead end.
Ill be sure to make it a place you cant pretend.

Ive had enough of running blind.
Getting tired of you on my mind.
Im shifting my car into drive,
Ill be damned if your my passenger.

Ive go to go.
Im driving head first.
Head first,

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go.

LOL's

I know this is wrong but I could not help myself. I saw this pic and died laughing. I guess somebody photo shopped some heels on him.



But I am cool with Breezy. I think his latest video and song for "Transform Ya" are hot!! Here Is What The Original Should Look Like...And I think I wana find him so I can convince him to give me those boots. They are fiyah!!!

I love your rosary!!

If you dont know, then you must find out...I am not a fan of trends. Ever since I could remember, I have always been the person to not obey trends. They annoy me and I think they are extremely unoriginal. Not to say that I dont like what trends create, I jus hate to follow them and to see others submitting to them.

Because I love to research religion and different beliefs around the world, I grow really upset when I see someone wearing an item that represent a religion as a fashion piece. If you hadnt figured it out by now, Im speaking on behalf of those who wear rosaries and are not actually catholic. It has become the increasingly popular new fad.

To be honest, I find it kind of disrespectful. Especially when you approach a friend who is wearing one and you mention the idea that they are catholic. And the most common response is "What are you talking about?". It is really, really frustrating to find it waving around on someone's neck and they have the slightest clue on what they are representing. To give no regard to the disciples of said religion or what it represents. It even goes as far as to mention that by wearing this piece, they have eliminated the thoughts and beliefs of the current religion that is in practice.

And while on the topic, I dont really like it when people clasp a chain around a cross that still has the depiction of Jesus on it. We all understand what that represents but Jesus has already died on the cross, to hold him in that place kind of makes me feel like most are being nonchalant about it. And no I dont like the "Jesus" tattoos that people get either. I dont understand how you can paint a picture of a man we have never seen.

Not to overlook the idea that people may be legitimacy wearing these pieces, I say keep on trucking. But to those who wear these items, please be aware of what history lies beneath the fashion trends you are following.

But there is my rant, and there you have it. lol.

11.23.2009 Music Day

So today in music was a really good day (11.23.2009). So much music was released today. We have Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Beyonce', Susan Boyle, Jay Sean, Shakira, and a few others.

Of all the artist, I ran over to Best Buy and coped Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Shakira. I spent about 35$ thanks to price matching and I havent been able to put these cd's down yet. Me & My I-pod have been working over time. I cant believe I got new music from 2 out of 5 of my favorite artist (Lady Gaga and Rihanna).

Here is a small review:

Lady Gaga: The Fame Monster

As always, Gaga impressed me. Like any loyal fan, I went and purchased the deluxe addition that included the original album. This album, for me, proves that this lady has staked her claim and refuses to move. The wonderful 8 song addition helped to complete the album and it makes so much sense for her to have done that. The songs sound so different than records from The Fame, yet they sound as if they were supposed to be there. Its obvious to anyone who listens to vocals that her vocal range has gotten even better. Its always great to hear artist experiment with there vocals and sing the songs the way they want to create and produce them.
RATING: (*****) out of (*****)


Rihanna: Rated R

So I have to admit, seeing the parental advisory sticker on Rated R made me blush. Theres nothing like some appropriately used potty mouth words. Especially coming from an artist that was viewed as such a innocent person. If Im being honest, this album has to be Rihanna's best. I did something out of the norm and read a few reviews from us normal people on I-Tunes. The majority rated the album 4 out of 5 which is not bad considering this is the 1st album where Rihanna is issued writing credits (something that I love in artistry). Generally, people either really loved the album, or really hated the album. Which I can see why. I dont expect artist to be the same person they were when they started the industry, which is why i am able to appreciate it. If we did things the same way we always have, we will always get what we always had. The album demonstrates a tremendous growth in her vocal abilities and leans jus right on the naughty side. I must admit, of the 3 album, this has been getting the most I-Pod play.
RATING: (*****) out of (*****)


Shakira: She Wolf

This album is a first for me. Not that I didnt like Shakira, I jus had never considered buying any of her album. However, when I first heard the She Wolf song, I fell in love. Learning the lyrics to that song made me feel like I had climbed a mountain. I really do like this album though. There is enough of the old Shakira to suggest that she is moving in a different direction. I really enjoy how she experiments with snares and sounds that people would not think from her. Im in love with the fact that her name is on all of the writing credits. I love when an artist is an artist and she certainly is good at her craft. The only reason this alum did not get a perfect score from me is because listening to the album on shuffle can get a little repetitive. I mean, I know shes spanish and all, and I can take a spanish song every now and then, but to have the same song and then dub it in spanish and throw it on an album can be annoying. Especially if its like 3 songs. That mean 6 of the songs can take the majority of the album. It kind of reminds me of what they would do back in the day when singles were released. But I am happy with my purchase and love dancing to the album.
RATING: (**** ) out of (*****)


I was considering adding the Adam Lambert CD to my list because he, to me, is an amazing artist as well. Anyone attempting to make a statement, willing to steak there claim, and is a good performer is great in my eye. But I ended up sampling the alum on I-Tunes, and I dont know if Im ready for him jus yet. Maybe in a couple months but not right now. Im not really into the whole rock, metal, scream at me vocals, jus yet. But I do like the song he performed at the AMA's (which btw, his performance was great) "For Your Entertainment" its really nice.

The Lady they call Gaga





4 million albums later, we did it!! The first artist in history to spawn 4 number one hits from a debut album!!

If you have the sweet pleasure of knowing me personally, then you know Gaga is ony of my favorite artist ever!! She is so talented and has such an amazing passion for her fans and what she creates. She is so the ideal artist I would be if I were signed to a major label, who knows, it could happen lol.

But here is the official post of the wonderful news.


POP SUPERSTAR HAS FOURTH #1 WITH “PAPARAZZI”

(Santa Monica, CA) Lady Gaga today became the first artist since the inception of monitored airplay to have four #1 hits from a debut album. “Paparazzi” follows in the footsteps of “Just Dance,” “Poker Face” and “LoveGame” to become the fourth chart-topper from her hugely successful debut album The Fame (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records).

Released last October, The Fame has sold over four million copies worldwide, and the singles from the album have sold over 25 million copies. A re-package of the album entitled The Fame Monster will be released on November 23. The Fame Monster contains eight new songs, including her next smash hit “Bad Romance.” Lady Gaga hits the road later this month with her “Monster Ball” tour, starting on November 27 in Montreal.

Fresh New Songs

So here are a few new songs that I keep on repeat on my I-pod.

(In no specific order)
Lady Gaga: Bad Romance
Rihanna: Russian Roulette
Chris Brown: Transform Ya
Teairra Mari: Sponser
Amerie: Heard Em All
Britney Spears: 3
La Roux: Belletproof
Eva Simmons: Silly Boy
Fresh Out The Oven: Jennifer Lopez
Miley Cyrus: Party In The USA
Timbaland with SoShy: Morning After
Madonna: Celebration(Benny Benassi Edit Remix)

If I think of summore Ill surely post em. But these songs has constant repeat on my I-pod!! Listen 2 em and lemme kno whatchu think.

Playing Russian Roulette

So if you are like me and have not been under a rock over the last week or so, then you have heard all of the hoop-lah surrounding Rihanna's new song Russian Roulette. The song was written by Ne-Yo. I am a big Rihanna fan and I do love the song...I cannot wait for the video, I know its going to be amazing.

My initial reaction when I heard the song was a little put off. I was expecting to hear a more up-tempo song so I did have my guard up when I heard it was more of a ballad, mid-tempo. However, when I listened to it the second time and fell in love. It was easy for me to find the message I knew she wanted to portray in the song and that helped alot.

It seems a lot of people are either taking the song literally (for what ever reason) or assuming a different meaning behind Tiffany Evan's accusation towards satanism, and applying it to this song and or Rihanna personally.

Me personally, as some one who creates, couldn't imagine having another person who claims to make art as well, make such a literal interpretation on any piece work. And to furthermore voice an idea that could paint someone else in a negative way based on solely ideas and not fact.

The whole situation kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth as well. I couldn't help but read some of the comments that people have added based on what was said via Tiffany Evans's twitter page. It kind of make me think if she had not put what she had, the song would not have been received negatively. Im not even sure people would be able to think to relate it to satanism or suicide. I know that when I first listened to the song I would think to relate it to the situation with Chris Brown before anything. When I heard about this post from her I was taken so far aback. I was like "How did she come to that conclusion?".

And not to be this guy but where the hell has Tiffany Evans been to make an opinion? I mean really. Sorry but thats how I feel. (LOL). I know it was a low blow but you were thinking it too.

None-the-less, the song has caused controversy, which is always good. I like the song, I think its great and I cannot wait for the album to be released!! Ill post the lyric below.



LYRICS:
Take a breath
Take a deep
Calm yourself
He says to me
If you play
You play for keeps
Take the gun
And count to three

I'm sweating now
Moving slow
No time to think
My turn to go

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it trought my chest
And i'm terrified but i'm not leaving
I know that I must past this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer
To yourself, he says
He says close your eyes, sometimes it helps
And then I get
A scary thought
That he is here
Means he is never lost

You can see my heart beating
No you can see it trought my chest
That i'm terrified but i'm not leaving
Know that I must past this test
So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I see another sunrise
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life

And you can see my heart beating
you can see it trought my chest
That i'm terrified but i'm not leaving
Know that I must past this test

So just pull the trigger....

No Homo

This is ssooo effin funny. I came across this when me and my best friend were surfin around on youtube. So effin funny man. It basically proves the point behind the whole "no homo" movement.

Samsung Moment

So I'm pretty much a geek about phones. I don't get to but toys so this is the next best thing. Its called the Samsung Moment. At first I did not think to get it because it has a slide keyboard. Once I got my Instinct last year, I fell in love and vowed not to get another phone with buttons. This phone, however, seems to have the best of both worlds. A full touch screen and a keyboard.

After watching the videos it seems I have fallen in love with this little thing. I cannot wait until November 1st. Thats when it will be released. Yay!! We will see if I like it.




Here is another phone I stumbled upon that I think is jus glorious but I cant get it cuz its on the T-mobile network...I cant be switching companies like that. lol.

FA Project: My Stomach Journey

So I've decided I would post a tracker to keep up with my new project. I want to have the stomach I want by December for my b-day. I know its kind of a weird month considering there is nothing to do in December. But my birthday is in December so ill be turning the big 22 and I want to bring in the new year looking and feeling good.

My whole inspiration behind this is due to the fact that the rest of my body is just about how I want it... so thus this project is born, The Flat Abs Project. The stomach seems to be the most problematic part of any persons body anyway (isn't it funny how we work the hardest on this past of our body but it is the most covered?) And its something I've always had insecurities with.

I will be posting any special diets and basically a little tracker on my progress. Right now Im at 34' around the stomach (over my belly button) and I only want to get to a 33' or 32'. I don't want to loose weight so we will see how this all works out. But Ill keep ya posted! Ill post the before and after pics in December.

Obsessed With Twilight?




So about a month or two ago i had this huge dilemma with watching Twilight. I had always shied away from Twilight because it seems so many little kids liked it, i thought it was a kiddie movie. But I ended up borrowing the movie from one of my good buddys and I watched it.
None-the-less I was inspired to but the books and read them all. I love the story line and it seems to be my favorite book ever! I think of the series, Eclipse or Breaking Dawn is my favorite. I plan on reading the series again.
I cant wait until New Moon comes out.....Sssooo gonna be there!!!

Blind Me With Your Colors

So yet again, another poem is born from that pen of mine. Cant help it, when inspiration comes, it comes, and fast too.
But this poem is something fun, short and sweet, nothing too serious. I was feeling a certain kinda way and I had always wanted to create a poem in this nature. I wont go into detail on what it is about......for me anyway (LMAO) But i tried to write it from the view point of finding inspiration.
But im sure you can relate....

"Blind Me With Your Colors"

Hey you,

I got a mission
For you its the impossible
Just think of the pay-off
So much better than previous lay-offs.

Im gonna take off my focals
Cant you just imagine the chemistry?
What Ill need from you Ill have to see with the blind eye
The intensity of this incident is sure to run my thougths dry.

Baby,
I want you to blind me with your colors
I need you to want me with your colors
I want you to show me with your colors
Make it to where I cant see,
Gon and destroy my pupils
But baby do it with your colors.

Im taking on an act so dangerous
Please wait for me at the end of that rainbow
Just like ketchup in a bottle
Im commin so slow

Cant rush something this bright
Cant you agree it takes time to come into the light?
The creativity you hold in your veins
Makes me want to take life on a different plane.

But baby,
I want you to blind me with your colors
I want you to want me with your colors
I need you to show me with you colors
Make it to where I cant see,
Gon and destroy my pupils
But baby do it with your colors.

At the end im here now
Dont you think its time to take your shades off?
Its ok I wont say a word
Only cause I cant see.


-Alfonso J Stacey
gon and post some comments, i wanna hear what you got to say!!

Future Love (The Fame Ball Tour)

So here's a clip of a Lady GaGa performance during her "The Fame Ball Tour" If you have the sweet pleasure of knowing me already, then you know that Lady GaGa is one of my favorite artist of all time.

This song isnt on her album...i SO wish it was tho. But I came across this performance on the tube and jus fell in love with her all over again. I would pay so much good money to attend one of her concerts!!!



Ok, Ok, Im sorry but I jus think that this is jus glorious. I jus love her stage presence.

Domino Effect

So I wrote another poem that I decided to share with you. Im so anxious to post b-cuz (without sounding to cocky) I truly amaze myself sometimes. While writing this poem I discovered that I was writing metaphors within metaphors and other hidden messages throughout my writing. This is another poem that "hits home" for me. From a recent "situation" (if you will) that I found myself in. Im so glad I can share it without you. Like always I hope you can find your own interpretation from it, and if you would like my own, please dont hesitate to ask...maybe ill share it with you (wink wink)

"Domino Effect"

Only the lion can tear that leather
For you its like swallowing marbles.

You cant sequin your emotions across my skys
Bright lights resides here for miles.

The depth of your perception is way too deep
The prosthetic you pretend to wear is not authentic enough.

You could only wish for vision this clear
If only diamonds wear near.

The intentions you could see would be so percise

Just like you hear in the folklores.
The metaphorical mask I wear is decorated was too nicely.

You cant see past my eyes
Frustations are created when the discovery is made that you cant penatrate.

Pullin on the marbles around my neck
Hopeing for a higher resolution.

Its the marbles that help conceal my mask
Hides true emotions.

Something that is hidden just beyond the decorated bow.

If only you knew that is was the bow that presented me my mask
It would be so much easier for you.

You wouldnt get so intertwined from pulling so hard.


-Alfonso J Stacey

Let me know what you think people.

Jupiter

This is a poem that I wrote. The name of the poem is "Jupiter". As I was writing it I found that it takes on so many different meanings. The primary reason I wrote this poem was in dedication to my late grandparents. I lost my two grandmothers last year and Ive always wanted to do something to pay my respects (in a more sincere way). This poem comes from a place of very raw, real, emotion. And id like to share it with you.... Hopefully you can identify with this poem in some way, so read on. Let me know what what you think.

Jupiter

This place that Im in currently
Holds no longevity.

Its faux trees and impossible animals
Has no commitment to me.

What am I supposed to do in a world so superficial?
A world where dreams are forged, unoriginal, unthinkable, untrue.

This haze
These clouds of smoke
Prohibits my horizon
Begins to flatten my world
Creates an end to my endless oceans.

The further im pushed away
The more my blood begins to thin
Its way too cold here.

Wouldn’t think to cry
My tears would shatter
This ground is never-ending
This crater is way too deep.

Its time things go back to its originality
I’ve had enough of residing in this place.
Its vacancy is something that is much more realistic now.

Its time for me to go back home
To Jupiter.
I need my rings to orbit around me again.

Runnin Tha Catwalk / Superstar Infront Of The Lense

Now-a-days its almost second nature to come across someones Myspace or Facebook page and discovering ones "model" pics.

I personally dont have a problem with it. I think its great!! To have that self confidence within to know that you look good is something that everyone should have.

Sometimes, I do think to myself tho, "does this person really has what it takes to become a model?"

Not
coming from a place of anger or envy...But i do think to myself from time to time.

I mean sure you may have a cute face, or even a nice body to match, or one of the two, but it dosent necessarily mean that u can model.
Im sure that when you look at the models on tv, it seems super easy to have such a career. But as we were all told, things are not always what them seem. Its not as easy as you would think. Its not just the good looking models that we remember, its the good looking models who's persona is just as strikeing that we fall in love with.

With modeling, it takes more than jus looking pretty, or being super thin. So much more goes into being a model.

Now im not claiming to be an expert, nor am i saying that I havnt been guilty of having my "model moments", i kno we all have those. lol!!
I jus think that for those who are trying to pursue a career in modeling that you do your research if you havnt already. Make sure that your not relying on your exterior beauty to land the job.

Its always the personality that leaves the lasting impression. Remember that!!





Raquel Reed, I effin luv her!!! U can find her on myspace: www.myspace.com/ewraquel

Kelis: Lil' Star Music Video & Lyrics

So if u dont kno, im glad to tell u that Kelis is one of my favortist artist (her and Christina Aguilera). But I decided to put one of her vids up from the "Kelis Was Here" album.

I cant buy the video from iTunes (cuz its not there) which has me extremely depressed. lol. So heres the next best thing, a youtube clip.

But i really luv this song, It features Cee-Lo. The meaning of the song and her style n tha vid co-inside perfectly together. Ive always found inspiration on her willingness to try something new and daring without regards to any one else.

p.s. the video was created in 2007 so tha style is 100% original. gotta luv tha idea of havin shaved side first!! & if any 1 can find me tha moon jacket id greatly appreciate it.

But here is tha vid, enjoy!!
(lyrics are below)




[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
If it seems like I'm shining
It's probably a reflection of something you already are
I forget about myself some time when there's so many others around
When deep inside you feels darkest, that is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found

[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
'Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
And you sure look like a star to me

[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
If you try to reach out and touch me
You'll see that I'm not really that far
Oh, I may not be the brightest, nor am I the last one you'll see
But as long as you notice, that's just fine with me
Everything's just fine with me
Everything's just fine with me

[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
'Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
And you sure look like a star to me

[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
I've been running and jumping
But barely getting, getting over the bar
I plan on being much more than I am but that's in do time
But until then I'm guilty, and being human's my crime
Being human that is my crime
Being human that is my crime

[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
'Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
And you sure look like a star to me

Why u Jackin My Swagga??


If I must say so, Swagger is indeed one of the words that I will be the most happiest to see go. Yea I get it, tha idea was cute at first but now tha terms is jus used WAY too much now!!

Maybe its jus my strong urge to be different in this very similar universe where adjectives are sure to clash....But im jus tired of everybody "Jackin everybody eleses swag" or "Loving everybody eleses swag".

Im not sayin that I havent used the word, but its somethings that I can surely count on one hand for tha numbers of times ive used it. lol

Why cant people jus hav personas or style anymore?? If you kno, please let me kno. But im gonna stop before it seems like im angry or bitter.

Who even came up with that word anyway??

Andy Warhol & Pop Art

So I jus wanted to put up some evidence of what I was babbling about n my last blog. Here are some clips.....




Color Orgy: New Inspirations

So latley Ive found that I am finding new inspirations. I dunno if its my next step in evoloution...or jus me growing up summore.

One of the biggest things ive found is that color is starting to spark new ideas n my thought process. Wether it b sumthin that im trying to wear or the influence it has on my mood now, but I find that this new "creative" energy is sumthin I do enjoy.

Whenever I see colors, especially bright neon type colors, i start thinkin of the most random things. It has started to create new ideas n my head, allowing me to explore new areas that Id normally not consider. One of the most evident is its abillity to render my mood. Not saying that if u flash a diff color card n my face that you will get a diff reaction each time, but it does make my brain tip off.

I have started to look into art as well, Andy Warhol type art. Ive always enjoyed art, but now I like to find art with different color elements or 3 dimensional pieces. Ive found an appreciation for it now and I think its hella cool if your into art or lookin to change your outlook or gain new inspiration.

I appreciate this "new energy" cuz who knows what it will help me to create (im a mad scientist). So if u see me out and about with all these diff type of colors and artistic type s*it on, feel free to point and laugh cuz i will join u!! lol (see, im doing it now) lol!! But I doubt that'll happen like that cuz ill b sure to look fly... even if it is n my own mind.

Paparazzi Music Video

Lady Gaga dum done it again. Shes one of my fav artist so of course I gotta support her. This here is her latest video and i effin luv it man. So much eye candy goin on n this video. Her style is wicked man and I swear it inspires me. her style borders weird jus on tha perfect level, jus enough to make a statement and it mean sumthin. She is so lucky to hav the right creative team around her.
Any-who, thas my two cents and heres the vid.

What Is Hating??

You know, there is something on my mind that I think we all need to really discuss. It has truly become an epidemic now that people are all “haters” these days. And just to show how serious I am, Im not going to use any slang in this blog.

It seems so often now that everyone is being titled a “hater”. You could not like the way someone is dressed, you could not like the way someone is speaking, you could not agree with someone’s opinion and you are automatically titled a “hater”. Even if it just your own personal opinion.

By definition, (from what I have gathered) a “hater” is someone who is envious over said persons. One who shows extreme discontent from an illogical or ludicrous stand point.

If this is indeed the case, I will go there with you. BUT….what I do not understand, is the idea that everyone is claimed as a hater when an opinion is voiced.

Lets play test for a second. Read the following serenio and tell me the best course of action for John Doe to assume.

(Scenario 1)
If John Doe asked me if I liked his shirt. (He is wearing a red South Pole shirt, button down with some heavy awkward design pattern on the front. I don’t generally like South Pole) So I tell John Doe, Im not a big fan of South Pole, the design on the front is a bit much for me.

Should John Doe
(A) Assume that Im a “hater” cause I secretly wished it was me that had the shirt
OR
(B) Assume that I simply do not like South Pole, but that I do still like him as a person

If your answer was (B) to listed scenario, then you passed. If your answer was (A) then maybe you’re the reason that im typing this blog.

Luckily I have not been able to find myself in this type of situation so I cant recall any experiences first hand. But I do want to know, why are people so quick to say that someone is “hating on them.” Why not just say that someone don’t agree with you on that matter, I mean wouldn’t that be more logical than to assume that he is “hating” on you?

Iuno…You tell me.
