"The Dream."

It starts as a fragile, wispy thing that might float right on by unnoticed. Except, it snags on something within your soul and lodges there. And then you start to feel it. Yes, it feels good. But it also hurts. It aches, because you desperately long to bring it to life.

So, caught in between that wonderful vision of what can be, and that painful realization of what has not yet been fulfilled, you know you've got to do something about it. And your passion begins to build. And that makes you want it even more. It begins to gnaw at you, urging you constantly to do something, do something, do something about it.

With a determination that you just can't deny, you take the first step. And it feels good. It feels powerful. And though you don't even know what the next step will be, you resolve to figure it out, and you do, and you take that next step, and the next. Driven forward by pure, raw desire, you refuse to listen to those who tell you it can't be done.

And though you get knocked around relentlessly, still you find a way, a way to get back up and run, ride, walk or crawl forward, whatever it takes, every time. Because it's your dream. It's your purpose. It's what you're here to do. It's your gift to give to all that is. You know, beyond knowing, that you must.

With a power you feel in every fiber of your being, but cannot fully explain, you bring the dream to life. And the joy of fulfillment is more intense than you ever could have imagined.

Perceptions.



You see me.

I see you.

Perceptions.

It's funny how you look at someone,

but deep down inside you wonder why

you are forced to just observe them from their exterior,

no such thing as interior,

because we can never be mind readers.

One who can x-ray using electromagnetic waves of radiation,

to find what drives the animation of the inner being that lies within us.

Yet we are forced to take a chance,

Hoping that with time,

You begin to reveal yourself,

And unfold the beauty of your uniqueness within.

Not many people attempt to do this because,

They are afraid to know.

Because if they did know,

Maybe their insecurities will flare up,

Or maybe they will take a second to understand,

that unlike the others,

The human isn't perfect.



How can we judge,

Yet our own flaws haunt us.

How can we percieve the things to be which aren't supposed to be,

Yet stimulated by fragments of our imaginations?

Perceiving Perceptively,

The environment within.

Perceptions.

*The last three lines. Think about it.*

Cervical Cancer.


I guess you never will really be affected,

Unless it hits home.

Today I found out that my friend has cervical cancer. That really made me sad because I have known her for a long time and she means a lot to me. It makes me mad because all she does is sit in the house all day unless her boyfriend takes her out. It pains me because all the friends that she has never visits her and I am mad because to not care, is really something unethical that I question everyday.

Why do we care?

I do because as a Christian it is worthy to do unto others as you would like them to do onto you. If its not money, then let it be a caring act of kindness. Something that should be done without expecting anything in return. Something from your heart.

I had to write about this because not many people know about it and people should read up on this issue.

I know I don't have much, but I know when I do, I give what I can.

What do you do?

This is what embodies DreamTeam.
I'm sure these guys can tell you.
Ranging from Hip-Hop to Vision to Fashion to Tattoo Art to R & B ,
I don't think these people have skipped a beat yet.
Continuing to bring a whole new standard of a buisness, maybe even a corporation!

As I look at DreamTeam, I see dedication and a finesse of what they do best.
Listening to their first debut mixtape, you will be attracted to the dream, that they are living everyday. You will also be inclined to wear their clothes, and be entranced by their God-Given talents!

@Trytunzworld
@KimRon
@KayFamous
@Capitol_E
@TripleLSociety
@Leaks4Lie

Still dreaming, they continue to sign their names on each heart that they encounter.

DreamTeam , we wish you the best in your future endeavors!

I will leave you with one of their songs off the mixtape.
It's called the "Willy Wonka Freestyle."
Enjoy!

J Cole. "Can I live."

Can I live.

I had to write J. Cole's lyrics, because this song was really interesting to me.

Yeah!*
Pussy my passion, never been a fan of flashing
Probably cause I never could so if I had it, never would.
Then I got my first little taste of paper, and I splurged
I guess it's just the nigga urge, this is the Boondocks
I swear yo I'm like Huey mixed with Riley
Thursday I be trynna save the world, then on Friday I hit the club
Hoping that my dick get rubbed by some fat asses
Niggas get to scraping then you hear the gats blasting Damn!, older niggas ain't got no problems with me
My momma told me to speak like you got a college degree
You see I can, but I won't
Plus I'm saying what I won't
Plus this slang that I speak don't change that I'm deep
That's the throat, on a certified freak, while she choke?
As we headed to the crib, yes I let her give me head so she won't remember where I live
My game is tight, baby no need to bring pajamas, you ain't staying the night
No disrespect, I just say it polite
I drop her off before I sleep, I be praying for life

Like Hov said it Can I Live?
Aye dear Lord, Can I live? -Hey!
Now am I Living to get paid just slaves for a wage (all week)
I can't do no 9 to 5 told my momma (sorry)
I can't do no suit and tie, no I want the (glory)
If you knew me know my life is like a movie starring me
Pardon me, if it seems that I'm following my dreams
I ain't reading off the script that they picked (for me)
I ain't pissed, naw could'ntgive a shit (hardly)
I be shitting on them niggas that was shitting on me
Will I live or will I die before they get to know me
If I go I know the ones that's pouring liquor for me
And I know the fake niggas really hating on me
Knew that I was bout to blow so they was waiting on me
[ J. Cole Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
But Oh-No, Lord
See I'm smarter then they know-oh-oh
So hold on, Lord, Cause I ain't quite ready to go-oh oh

Can I live

-Somebody told me that it's only one shot, so I'll be God damn, If I'm ever gonna stop
Promise to my momma I'm a make it to the top
So I'm a keep climbing to my heartbeat drop

Like the phone when she heard the news
Her sister on the other line talking to her shoes
The only son, what a thing to lose
More blacks singing more blues
More niggas pouring more brews
Poor dude he was young like 21, strait up out that city that I'm from
A real smart Nigga, but his niggas they was dumb
He ain't even get a chance to run
Before it landed in his lung
God, breath nigga.
His partner screaming Don't you *** leave nigga!
Took off his shirt trynna stop the bleeding nigga, Don't you go!
But his life fading slow
Did I tell my mom I love her, do she know?
Did I tell my baby sorry from befo
Won't get to see my son grow
Lord I ain't ready to go

Can I live? Can I live? Dear Lord, Can I live?

Can I live? Yea


Explicit, yes, but the passion for what he does drives the whole song.

J.Cole is unique.

Excited to see how far he will go in the revolutionized rap game.

Nature.



In life,
The sun rises.
The sun sets.
City life is so rushed,
But,
When you are able to stop for one second and capture a moment.
It feels so surreal.
Because everyone else is ignoring it.
I am in awe of it.

Dedicated to Astrid Vld and Kelly Jewels.

Two of my favorite nature lovers.

Nature.

We take mother nature for granted, but the beauty is so real, we use mere words to limit its imperfect perfection, which once again time after time, keeps us at a loss for words.

Battle Cry. One of the Life Changing Moments in my Life.!











I can only show you pictures, but you had to be there to really grasp the emotions, feelings of everything that was going on.

Nineteen In Two Days.

Hey,

It's me here again.

This time with a real confessional.

I'm turning 19 soon.

I don't know what to say,

because honestly,

I am going to be at another blank slate.

Eighteen was too much.

I have chapters of memories.

So how do I want to start my nineteenth year?

Well ihop would be nice.

But I just want to say a prayer and let my mom pray for me because I want to have a

Blessed,

Amazing,

&| Prosperous Year.

To live free.

To be who I want to be,

I mean how much more real can I get?

Its not always quantity, not quality.

I have family and supportive friends who will always be there for me.

That's all I will ever need.

God in my life is amazing enough, so what else is there to say?

Updates.

I am sorry that I have neglected this blog for so long...this is unlike me, so new posts coming shortly. Like for real.

Queens.




I went to Queens. I went to this place called Jerk Hut. The food is amazing here.

Central Park.











I went to Central Park because its close to my school, Fordham University. Central Park has so much to offer, and honestly it takes a long time to walk the whole perimeter. These were snapshots taken on a regular weekday.

Spacedate.

Intergalactic,
Spaceship fanatic,
Beams are sporadic,
Make you fantastic,

Melodramatic,
Can I just have it,
Can I be your addiction,
You be my habit?

I like how I'm rhyming,
Like how your signing,
Your name onto my heart,
Declaration that we will never part,

Yet I feel that one day things will fade away,
Blow like that spring breeze,
In the month of May.
Away, we fly away.
