and i wonder, if you know, what it means, to find your...



okay fly boys and fly girls... i'm at a loss for words but i'll try

I was catching up on literature when I decided to take a break. I was in for a surprise.

I was digging through the crates in my basement and found videotapes that I put together in my childhood. I managed to tape every episode of Ghostwriter and Doogie Howser M.D. After watching two of these tapes, it has dawned on me that maybe everything is perfect and the road we travel is not one that is fixed before birth, but one that is molded in childhood like some sort of invisible clay that molds us and not the other way around.

watching just two tapes, i realized where my style and character was fostered;where my dreams and aspirations were conceived.

you name it ,its there. the stussy hat at the 25 second mark... the law jargon... the young and trust doctor in doogie howser... the existentialist revolt in decisions we make, its all there...

I go turn the pages of my readings...a man by the name of Ben Okri (author and social activist) and find this quote...

“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.”

I guess we create what we later hide due to a subconscious fear of tainting the pure. Maybe the dreams we make are hidden in the sand with our hand that back then were too raw to appreciate such delicate and beautifully crafted intricacy.either way, i'm beginning to think we make it to lose it to find it again....like our own little mission we conjured up as kids.whoa...

do the right thing.

respectfully,

D. It Was Written




In fact, it was written for Slumdog Millionaire. The independent film racked up four Golden Globes for best drama, best director (Danny Boyle), best screenplay, and best original score. This is an amazing movie that I recommend EVERYONE watch. It most definitely made my top movies list and has made a lot of noise around the world to movie critics far and wide.

The movie is a story of an 18 year old kid named Jamal Malik from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. He has made it to the final question but has been accused of cheating due to the fact that he has exceeded everyone's expectations. The story consists of Jamal explaining how he got the answers from events that took place in his life from when he was just a child until now. The journey that Jamal calls his life is one of many adventures that help him become the person he is up-to-date.

I hope everyone enjoys this movie as much as I did and let me know what you think after you watch it.

Respectfully,

number 1 twothree

ok, let me say that i hate being told what i cannot do.
i do not like arguing. i'd rather agree to disagree.
we all have our opinions that make us who we are.
in fact, my opinion is that there is no absolute truth and everything is an opinion.

it's just that our opinions act as peices that make us, us.
with that said...















VS









let me be the first to say lebron trumps jordan in premiere gq magazine covers.

i'm aware that that mj (not to be confused with michael jackson) won his first "chip" his sixth year in the season.

i'm aware lbj (not to be confused with lyndon baines johnson) is in his sixth season as i am writing this post on a cold january new york evening.

we are all aware of the fascination my city had when mj was returning and placed the knicks as one of his possible destinations, adorned with the attention to detail "special madison square garden point dropping" jordans, just as we are aware of the hype behind lbj and his limited edition "i might be coming to the ny knicks but for now, i'm gonna just drop points on you" sneakers.

once lebron gets his sneaker design team and championships up, he will be better than jordan.

until then, lets not compare...different game, different time and space.

unless you wanna take into consideration that in 89, the two button suit was out, giving mj no excuse. slim ties were in, giving mj no excuse. sloppy pocket square, no excuse. his legacy left him as an immortal until he came back and decided to go from the air jordan to jumpman with less hops but a silky fadeaway good enough to win a title to merlin the old a$$ wizard...no excuse.
e. k. hormeku votes lebron because he has a tragedy to learn from in style and talent.
the members of nerdy mcfly leave personal lives and money matters out over here because men do not delve into the personal lives and money matters of other men. code and manners, boys and girls.
respectfully...

RESPECT MY HANDLE!



the question i ask you is, would you be able to hold your own as far as talent and style go if you were in this room?


if not, then why bother...

dont play yourself, stay yourself...easy
