Glamourizing death is futile. It is death, and as much as we may dress it up with flowers and headstones, it is death.

The bulldozer backs my claims.

Things learned on December 9, 2010

We were all placed on earth to shine. Be it individually or in tandem with others, the potential to create light exists in all of us. That is how we were created, or evolved, as some of you might think. I see the validity in your opinions.

The problem, at least as I see it, is that too often those who are meant to shine individually, to discover their magic on their own, are held down by their relationships with others. We are meant for connection; this much is true. But at what expense should the individual maintain relationships? At the expense of their personal light? Is that not depriving the world from experiencing whatever excellence has been preordained for this being?

Something to think about.

Affirmation

Yesterday my grandma told me she was proud of me.

Me, the journalist. Me, the poet. Me, the curly-haired, dark-skinned, skateboarding misfit of the Tse clan.

I may be the strangest leaf on the family tree, but shoot, at least I'm still on the tree.

Stream of consciousness



This is what hip-hop was made for.

Current Musical Gold: Installment 13

"I like music. It defines life, love, and everything in between. I also happen to have an abnormally ridiculous amount of music in my possession, most of which I listen to very very rarely because I have a tendency to overplay. As in, overkill. As in, when I'm feeling a song I will play that tuneage over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until I am either sick of it, or it is inducted into my special itunes playlist simply titled LEGENDARY. Many songs have come and gone; only the chosen few have made it to LEGENDARY status. Every so often, because I like to share music that is good, I will post the tracks that I am feeling at the moment - the ones that are on trial to make it to LEGENDARY. Hopefully in this manner, you, my readers, will be able to expose yourself to a broader variety of good music. And who knows - maybe it'll even make your LEGENDARY."
