Dreams

You can sell one & you can buy one
But if all you have is a “dollar and a dream”
And you buy into this dream of making 6 figures after paying 6 to begin with…

Should you have sold yours or continue to buy one?

In elementary school, you’re sold your first dream.
“The American Dream”
2 story house, nice car, married, 2 kids, and a white picket fence…
And you’re still buying into that dream when there’s people decades older than you in the streets with picket signs because they can’t afford the white picket fence, nice house, and the rest of the dream they bought…in which you’re buying too…

Now, if you want to be a doctor, take out a total 72k in loans, not counting grants/scholarship for undergrad, then on to of med school, be my guest. We always need doctors.

But if you just wanna LIVE, it’s damn near impossible…

I refuse to work 9 to 5 , Monday through Friday , just for a slightly lower than average annual income or dehumanize MYself, by being a minion to a man whose anatomical structure is almost equal to mine, for only 7.25 an hour…Hours of our lives we can never get back, that we spend working FOR someone other than ourselves…for only 7.25 & then for the government , who has NOTHING to do with this process, to take tax percentages out of your already measly check…why settle for that?

Sell yourself a dream. It’s an investment. Don’t feed into anyone’s plans, unless you can prosper and evolve from it. Acquire a team of individuals who are capable of taking hold of a vision and have the initiative to remain on task.

& hopefully, hopefully, you acquire what you desire.

Videography (n.) - the art or process of making films with a video camera.

for a good while now, I’ve been interested in this form of art. for a while now, but I didn’t actually pursue it until this summer. for me to just actually get started with this, WITHOUT a legit camera, I think i’m doing pretty good. check out my first two videos and leave a comment on what you think!

so last semester, my friend Kayla ( @KayyBrightly ) put me on this group called LMFAO. now, I’m pretty open minded about music. I listen to everything but this group caught my eye. Especially with one of their new songs “Party Rock Anthem”. I promise we listened to this ALL THE TIME. The other day, she told me to look up this Dubstep version of the song. Personally, I love Dubstep music, but for those who dont know what Dubstep is, it’s this really bassy type of music that orginated from London I believe. This DJ put his own little variation of LMFAO’s – Party Rock Anthem. I like it, you could like, if you don’t like it, pass it on to somebody you think will.

you know I had to download this!

for those who want to add it to their collection:

 LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem ( Arion Dubstep Remix )

So I couldn’t sleep tonight
Something about the uncertainty of tomorrow’s contents
Something about the mystery of passing time
Behind closed eyes my mind won’t stop it’s clock work
Maybe it has something to do with this iceberg I’m using as a mattress
I don’t remember a time when I was capable of not thinking and not wanting to think
I am holding a grudge against gravity and his shackles
Because on nights like these, all I want is to float over something
To weightless myself against the air
And sew pictures to the sky
It is gravity that allows me to be nervous
Because he always reminds me that there is a ground to splatter on
He says There is a crushing impact possible in every situation
And if I get too brave I may just get a chance to believe him
He reminds me of reality
The very thing we artists have the power to escape from
Just for a while
Until Mr. Grey and white realness opens the door and says time is up
We have to put down the colors and got to class
Or work
Or children
Or sleep
I can’t sleep tonight,
Because the silence in my head makes the pictures so vivid I am living
Horizontal, under my pillow
I have been to the island of Kona
Kissed the eyelids of morning
Made love to sensations gravity would never let me feel during the day
I daydreamt tonight
That’s all I did
Gravity kept me from sleeping
So in zombie form I will crawl to class
Leaving pieces of myself in hand and knee prints
Tracking behind me
Drooling coffee all over the unslept shadows of myself
And my exam -_____-

This week a friend of mine called and asked if I wanted to do VBS (vacation bible school). I’ve been a part of this fooorr the last three years? Every year I do it, I realize how much I really do love kids. They’re always smiling, laughing, and so accepting. There were a few times were I was just simply walking to get some water and a little kid just walked up to me and yelled “Mr.Sam!” gave me a hug and walked away. That’s the best feeling! Plus working it with my bros Jerry and TJ made it all the more better. Just a little update on my week.

& its all very appreciated.

from the bottom of my heart.

yall know everybody and their mom made their own version of this song. my grandma is in the studio RIGHT NOW recording, but until that comes out, check out the OFFICIAL video. its pretty dope.
