our deepest fear.

whenever i am having a hard time w. getting my self motivated to do things or when i get overwhelmed i continuously refer back to this poem.

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented and fabulous.Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.Your playing small doesn't serve the world.There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that otherpeople won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory ofGod that is within us. It's not just in some of us -- it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other peoplepermission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear,our presence automatically liberates others

i need a pool!

soo its summertime now...

& atlanta is already hot as hell out here!

yesterday was blazing & i soo needed a pool..

this weekend is supposed to be like 90 everyday & sunnyyyyy

im still looking so if anyone has any suggestions or if they are going to one let me know lol

the cavs stil might actually have a chance..

so, luckily for the cavs, they won last night. this caught the series up to 3-2 in favor of the magics. its a shame that lebron scored more than 40% of his teams points last night. ridiculous. but atleast they will be able to stay in atleast one more game. its looking kind of bad for them but maybe they will pull through and surprise everyone..lebron is one man & cant do everything but lets see what happens...on another note, im so proud of kobe & the team for beating the nuggets the other night..lets see wat happens tonite. heres the highlights of last nights game...

the masquerade

i saw this video and it reminded me soo much of real life. people put on these masks EVERYDAY trying to seem like they are happy with their life. the monotony of a life w. responsibilities & undesirable jobs takes its toll on people. but, people continue to put a fake smile on when inside alot of people arent really happy. In the video he does of good job of demonstrating how the main cartoon finally takes off his mask to show all the other people that hes not really happy on the inside & it turns out that they arent either. but when the others see that he saw their unhappiness they quickly put their fake masks back on. this happens in real life all the time. people subdue their real feelings in order to appear normal to the rest of the world. but at what point is it enough? at what point do people finally become real w. themselves?

dana gilmore is the truth.

ever since i saw this clip i was taken back by how talented of a poet she was.

this is true shit. check it out. she also has a part 2. that she performed on def poetry jam in the next season. ill post it later.

think about it..

heres some thought provoking questions i thought are good to think about in life.

::at what point are we good enough? when are we self improved enough to accept ourselves?

::what impact are you wanting to leave the world?

::what, in life, is beautiful to you? where do you find your inspiration?

::what are the three "nevers" in your life?

::finish this sentence: "when i think of love, i think of.."

::is it really better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all?

::how short would your life have to be before you start living differently today?

::what is your peace? your refuge?

::are the people in your life uplifting you or bringing you down?

im a big kid. lol

ever since the creation of the little mermaid i have loved cartoons. the lion king was my shiiiittt. but then Toy Story came out the 3-D animated pixar movie. Ever since then, I have been in L0VE w. pixar movies! from monsters inc. to madagascar to finding nemo to ratatouille. it amazes me how they create these movies. their creative team must be crazy good. now there is this new one coming out called "Up" and that shit looks so funny i actually cant wait to see it.

whhhyy does this have over 3 million views?!

sooo i was jux on the internet, youtube in particular and ran across something that made me laught. Soulja Boy doin the stanky legg. but hold up, thats not what amused me, the fact that this one video has over 3,000,000 views!! that is ridiculous. a bunch of riff-raff. i jux laughed. but i thought i would post it just cuzzzz...

wtf..an electronic cigarette?!

sooo we decided to take a trip to lenox today.

shyla was filling out apps while me & joelle were jux shopping around. it was a pretty typical day shopping & all until we stumbled on one of those vendors. they were selling electronic cigarettes! ive never heard of this before in my life.

she was saying how it originated in germany to get ppl to stop smoking. she said its a cigarette looking thing that you charge every night. it even comes in different flavors! she was like "they have marlboro, newport, etc." i was like wat the hell else are they gunna come up with?! thats crazy..

another let down..

ssoooo to my dismay, the cavs unfortunately lost last night.

its 3-1 now. i hate to say it, but i think its pretty much over for the cavs.

i dont wanna give up on the team like that, but orlando is too much of an0VERALL good team.

Lebron & everybody else was missing last night..sooo it looks like its gunna be the Lakers vs. Magics in the finals more than likely.

FML.. thats whack.

well joelle & malek..doesnt look like we will be going to fox sports grill for the finals to watch who SH0ULDVE been in the game.

lets see what kobe does toniteee! lets go black mamba..

wat i love to wake up to.

when i wake up in the morning i need something to pick me up. & Kenna does it everytime. Ever since i heard them for the first time i have been a fan. thank you fani for putting me on lol

"say goodbye to love" by Kenna ft. Lupe Fiasco is such a great song.

& it wakes me up & gets me ready for the day..

my ideas for my next tattoo.

soo im getting a another tattoo soon..& i want it on my other side.

since i have so much writing on my right side, i want a big, colorful pic to take up my left

i have a couple of ideas but i think the one i want will be a collage of flowers & water.

i want to add some color to my body lol

something of a collaboration between these two tattoos. its gunna be amazing

oh yea btw..

im also getting this too..lmao

its going to say " lavish"..dont worry they only last about 5 yrs..itll fade with time lol

my absolute favorite commercial right now

i dunno why i love this commercial so much. maybe bc it comes on no less than 5x each playoff game. but i smile everytime it comes on!

tonites prediction. cavs vs. magic

soooo..tonite the infamous cavaliers & magics play.

my prediction is that the cavs win..actually my hope & prayer is that the cavs win.

mind you, the series is 3-1 in favor of orlando.

if the cavs dont win then they have basically lost the series unless lebron pulls some magic out of his ass. i know that lebron is an amazing player, but he is basically a one man team. Not only that, but Mickael Pietrus has been putting some real good defense on Lebron.

Not only Pietrus, but Dwight Howard & Turkoglu with his killer shots.

I know Moe Williams got busted in the face last game but he needs to get it together for this game.

oh man. fingers crossed i hope the cavs win. bron-bron need to put on his A game after last game

oh what an eventful holiday.

soo yesterday was Memorial Day..had a real good one. thanks everyone for making my holiday a good one. we were all sitting in the house bored cuz it was a gloomy day & cookouts was getting cancelled. *blown* then one of our friends decided that since noone else was gunna do it, then we need to go ahead and have our own cookout. we all put up some money to buy the chicken. ribs. turkey. burgers. baked beans. & macaroni salad * along w. some joose's on the side* =) good times. great laughs & some intense monopoly. lmao. it was all good. & i didnt forget the main reason we celebrate this holiday. god bless all the troops & the fallen soldiers.

the genius of ryan leslie

i have my favorite set of artists and Ryan Leslie is definately one of them. He not only is vocally gifted, he's all around musically gifted which is what is lacking in the music industry today. He produces his own music, writes his own songs & plays EVERY instrument in his instrumentals. AMAZING! check it out..

if you havent been on Ryan Leslie, I suggest you get on him now..

lakers let me dowwwwnn!!

heres the post game report..

see what you love. love what you see.

Kerstin Zu Pan is a photographer from Berlin that has some very original work.

this photographer is crazy..she has some real different photography that i like.

my video of the day

so everyday im gunna post a song that i like..i know its not rap but you might like it anyways. i listen to all kinds of music. MGMT is an american indie group based in brooklyn, ny on Columbia Records. Previously known as "The Management" they have come out with other good singles like "electric feel" and this one "kids".

personal thought for the day

i know its late, but bare with me tho.

i know that i may seem like the pretty shallow type.

they type that dont cook. the type that dont clean.

the type that dont hold a man down.

the type thats dumb as shit.

the type that dont read.

the type that dont get good grades because im too busy worrying about my hair or makeup or what party im going to..

the type thats not into music

the type that dont appreciate the beauty in life because im too shallow to take the time.

but guess what, im N0T that type of person.

ppl who know me, know this. i just wanted to let everyone else know that as well. lol

see you tomorrow.

hahaha!

this is what im tlking about. these atlanta ppl are a trip. lmao

man bum ass atlanta ppl broke in my car..getting it fixed now tho!

uggghhh..its all good tho. its getting fixed. fucked up tho.

i cant wait till this movie comes out!!

thats that shit..transformers 2! poppin ass movie.

the questions.. ridiculousness

soo here are some questions that i have. im jux gunna put them out there:

..why are guys so scared of commitment? (i.e.-boyfriend/husband..watever.)

..why is it that guys say that they are not "trickin" on girls if they take them out on a date.."trickin" is when you do unnecessary 0D shit..not normal, gentleman shit. ridiculous.

..why are there so many J's in atlanta? ridiculous.

..why are people still using the word "swag"?

..why is it that females think it is cute to be of anytype of relation to "nicki minaj" or "nicki lewinski" unless you want to be looked at as a dick-sucking hoe..then go right ahead.

..why cant people take constructive criticism without getting offended?

..why do girls feel the need to talk about EVERY0NE??

..why am i looked at as being sneaky just because i like to keep my business, MY business?

..why is it that when obama was running black ppl was all into politics..now that hes in office, ppl dont give a shit. smh.

..why is it a summer in atlanta with nothing to do? lol

if you have answers to these..or have questions yourself..please feel free to ask/comment.

"gifted"- N.A.S.A. ft. kanye west, santogold & lykke li
