Evolve


Although you may be distracted by her actions in the video, try to listen to the message.

They play it safe... Are quick to assassinate what they do not understand... They move in packs... ingesting more & more fear with every act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups, less guilt to swallow.  They are us... this is what we have become... Afraid to respect the individual... A single person within a circumstance can move one to change... to love his or herself...  Too Evolve!!!"

Knowing is half the battle

Whenever I explain my future job to my friends and family, they give me that big eyed "WHAT" look. The vision is in my head, and has been since high school back in 2002 entrepreneurship class (shit I learned how to spell entrepreneur in the 2nd grade). Being first introduced to the WWW, all I can remember was Alife, Kicks R Us, shoetrends, ISS, Got Kicks? and pickyourshoes. Some still remain strong, while others have faded or moved toward other ventures. I admit that exposure through the computer screen made all the difference; and has motivated me to stop dreaming and start DOING. Here is a look at Alife Rivington Club, maybe you'll get a feel for what's in my head for the future...MAYBE.

The Revolutionist


Currently Reading at the Moment, so far so good. "The man with the Missing Hands"

"I Know it! I know it!
If I get out of here the river swallows me...It is my destiny:
Today I must Die!
But no, willpower can overcome everything there are the obstacles, I admit it
I don't want to come out. If I have to die, it will be in this cave.

The Bullets, what can the bullets do to me if my desitny is to die by drowning.
But I am going to overcome destiny. Destiny can be achieved by willpower.

Die, Yes, but riddled with bullets,
Destroyed by the bayonets, if not, no. Drowned, no a memory more lasting than my name
Is to fight, to die fighting."
-Ernesto Guevara (pg43-44)

Blossom

I picked a rose randomly on a walk with Queen last week. The lyrics to a very familiar song brought back that memory. I agree women are like flowers, from the outside appearance to the delicate middle, down to the motte (vulva). Weird I know, Ill get back to Kicks and the non sentimental things later on tonight I promise. Read up to hear the song.

WildFlower

She faced the hardest times you could imagine


And many times her eyes fought back the tears

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders

Bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow that no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears.

Let her cry for she is a lady

Let her dream, for she’s a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She’s a free and gentle flower growing wild

And if by chance I should hold her,

Let me hold her for a time

But if allowed just one possession

I would pick her from the garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she’ll awaken

And sleep’s the only freedom that she knows

And when you walk into her eyes, you won’t believe

The way she’s always paying for a debt she never owes

And a silent wind still blows

That only she can hear, and so she goes.

My Size Barbie















I've seen too many things about little girls as young as 4 thinking they're fat or not beautiful. My boyfriend is always calling me his "My Size Barbie" and I believe every girl should feel that way: Beautiful just the way they were created. Will there ever be a day when an average or above average sized woman is considered beautiful again? The average woman in America is a size 14, but the average American woman you see in the media is a size 3 or smaller. Make a fat Barbie! Show girls that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Show them what is real, stop feeding their minds with superficial ideologies. Stop trying to fit the mold and be you. Sure good looks can get you places, but knowledge gets you further.

Yuck Mouth

I'm not really into celebrity gossip and tabloids, but when i heard this report, it caught my attention. Recently, singer Jessica Simpson revealed to iheartradio that she doesn't believe in brushing her teeth on a regular basis, and sometimes she even wipes them on her sweater! She was even quoted saying: "my teeth are extremely powerful."Guess this blonde bombshell still thinks "buffalo" wings come from an actual Buffalo.

Family Affair



On a serious note: Before you knew the "pretty girls" and "Chillin" there remained an indepth Wale. I'm witness to folks who perfer to hear club bangers from the MD rapper. But this dude is deep, a conscious rapper with a unique but familiar "word play". I often replay Wale's socially aware songs; before you go looking on your itunes for such songs, check out this video above. Shout out to Big G "Slim Charles" for the Cameo.
