This month has been fascinating. Ive gotten to see the extreme ends and beginning of friendships and to see the bonds that we establish with people in a more truthful colorful light. Not to be interpreted as a dark disconnection between real and fake relationships but rather a reality that each of us are on our individual paths doing our own thing and not one of each knows each others paths more than we know our own despite some people tendency to say "I know you better than i know myself"... thats jut OD and its not even true. So amazing how each of us humans on earth have a story- similar in ways because we are all manufactured to do certain things as humans like go to school and be born but each of us have different stories. Noone can quite give the suggestion for success that YOU need because they are only going off of what they have experienced which is not at all the same from your life since each of ours are different. that isn't to say that advice is not helpful or useful- it is to say that intuition- trusting yourself and using every once of your ability to think, to feel, to judge, to see a world and to analyze yourself in it.
I get so caught of feelings of failure because i am so afraid of becoming a mindless drone. Mindless drones are the people each day who go about their lives living and dreaming, and hoping for a better life but are ultimately doing the same things all the time. They work the same job, same hours, all year round for the past decade and have not done anything else. Occasionally they are going out or having fun or purchase a new sofa but they are mindless. Their jobs don't spare the use creativity and they are lacking a feeling and a life really. Its sort of like fight club- and the worst part is that................
Their jobs are likely to be replaced by a robot years from now.... so what is to become of the mindless drone.. well there is the street... we see many of them in the form of "bums", alot of them try music, DONT BE A MINDLESS DRONE-
BUT HOW DOES ONE AVOID IT?
thinking.....
I see my dreams coming to fruition. Will i hit a rough patch soon? or will i keep up the good work?

The months seem to have just been slipping by and it makes me wonder if i have been wasting time. Sometimes i feel like I am on the right path but then there is that other option that comes along that seems equally beneficial. On thing i have learned in life... is that is will hand you the good and the bad no matter what situation you are in. People will judge your ideas and you actions and it all comes down to how much it matters to you and what you do about them. I choose not to really react. All my life has been observing and taking note on the way in which all humans interact with each other in different settings, and how people adapt to new environments. I feel like im a quest of some sort. The kind that Indiana Jones was on. I never got the opportunity to watch Indiana Jones. As a black kid growing up in urban settings... those sort of resources were scarce. Many were scarce. The ones you see now- the ones your no longer blind to that have exposed themselves in your life. The ones that make a difference in quality.
A number of things can motivate a person to do something. In a world where conformity has been upgraded to normality, its important we maintain a balance between who we are and who we want to be. We shouldn't allow the voices of others to influence our paths and we most certainly should not rely on anyone else for our success. I realize that alot of people are ignorant to alot of things and i think that is just the fault of those who are not curious and have chosen the route of conformity- but for the others who have created their own path, it easy to be daunted by the how often people are judging and how much scrutiny your endeavors might endure. One thing is for certain though. No man who has ever discovered something new or great, cared for the aftermath of what happen as much as he cared for the planning and execution of his idea and the resulting feeling of accomplishment that comes with it.
I have the idea construct a company- a promotional one which would promote a number of things but most importantly would serve as a community of the people that i know. A way to organize them for later on. It is easy for people to meet and greet but to be in touch later is the part that most are looking for. People want reliability and they want a source that is always available. While i do not want to be the source of promotional needs for the rest of my life. I am currently utilizing my talents to bring people together to make a success for myself. I am only 19 years old and while the age of 20 which is approaching is daunting and scary, it also awakes me to the opportunities that are here and those that will be lost if i do not take advantage of them. I am fully aware. I am beyond aware of how important money will play as a role in my future.
School is busy and it is neat surreal to imagine a day job supporting ones goals and desires. I want my company to be last a short time and following its launch and success... I want to take the money and travel the world alone. Meet new people and blog and share my experience. Video Blog, voice record, write poetry, express myself. I eventually want to compile these things into a book which i was stating earlier in my blog. I cannot believe im turning twenty. Call these rants if you want but they are the reserved thoughts of my brain that i dont share with people for fear of vulnerability. We all feel slightly vulnerable to the harms of the world and interestingly enough a child in a YouTube video explained why would you share all your feelings and thoughts with the world. Its funny that even as a child weve been either transformed or have developed that sort of thought pattern that discretion and privacy is important in this world.
Its saturday while usually i would be out doing all the wrong things with my other degenerate teenage companions... today is an unusual case of wanting to get things done. to finally follow through on those accomplishments and that success. I am no longer waiting for a train to come sweep me off my feet. We live in a world where our actions are a direct result of who we are here. If we are not doing anything with our time and resources then we are just as good as dead or another person among the many who have comformed. So will you lead or follow? I hear it all the time. The good and the bad. The right and the wrong.
Our brains have been shaped by the media and how abilities to get out of this box has proven to be a fail. but whats harder and more challenging that anything is getting out of the box and not standing out like a sore thumb among the crowd. A level of discretion, conformity, and individuality that is rarely found. A balance.
If i fail. Then hay! At least i can say i tried.
I was watching a video the other day about woman in our society and how the media has transformed the thought pattern of so many to think and act a certain way and even as a child we are subjected to these cruel limitations. Just the other day my little neice was putting on my sisters heels and walking around the room with her hand on her hip talking about how she would one day have a boyfriend. She put on her pretend jewlery and put her left hand on her hip. She moved about the hall the way a model does and she did not for one second THINK that she was incapable of being just that: a model. We can all be models to a society. be the prototype of what is in and whats not but in the end it is what makes us happy that really trully matters.
MY PROBLEM IS LIKING EVERYTHING. If i hadnt tried it... i kinda wanna give it a shot. GIVE IT A SHOT. You only live once, We are young and will regret not living later, and lifes socail norms and structures are simply things to keep most of us from running wild and being out of order. Right now. we are pretty ordered. So SUPPORT a friend. give a hand. Donate some money to charity, buy a concert ticket. LIVE LIFE because soon we will be growing up and wont have the time of day to try new things.

Writting on This Blog
is weird. I realized I have a follower today which is cool cause i don't know her. I don't know how she came to follow me. I have many followers on Twitter, that's probably a good source. Its funny the difference in the dynamics of the people I have as friends on Facebook versus the people who follow me, & I likewise back, on Twitter. Some relationships on Twitter are one-way but they are fine in that balance.
There is a balance in the way these relationships exist that don't exist on Facebook. On Facebook everyone has a voice (Status Update) and not everyone chooses to use it. There are other means by which to talk to your friends: Their wall, and that has a friendship too. Sometimes closer than that of a message in ones Inbox or the simple existence of the friendship itself. I have many friends, lesser so on Twitter- which in my attempt to acquire more have resulted in lesser desirable friends, the ones you make fun of for saying some things that are deemed ignorant in Today's Society.
I don't mind their existence but on a content based site, such as Twitter, it is hard to accept that what they have to say is in someway, right or correct. Crazy people saying crazy thing makes for patience and understanding in what each is trying to convey in the friendship.
On Twitter though, you have the option of not hearing it. You can, if you want, choose to not see what that person has to say. It isn't as offensive as perhaps removing someone as a friend on Facebook. But Facebook is cool too. This isn't a shit on Facebook time. This is a I'm cooler on Twitter time.
I found out the other day, that I was a Hummingbird, whatever that means. I like being a hummingbird. At least then, I don't have the pressure of maintaining the persona of a Bald Eagle. They are scarce in their existence and they feel the need to continue where they are, Strong and Ready strike. On Twitter you choose not to follow them, and on Facebook you exist as they exist. The friendship is mutual. Friends in common that you share serve the great connection of being in the same group of friends. But what happens when the group decreases to not include you anymore, or what if you wanted to leave the group of friends from which others were mutual. There is little you can do about it. For some people this seem fair or ethical. But for most, for those few who don't get along with the rest of the birds, it poses a threat or problem. If you are a private kind of bird, your messages are private to a friend on Facebook, and similarly if your relationship calls for privacy on Twitter you can make what you say and see, not viewable to the world;
((I wander what would happen if i did that... with my friends currently, it would be more fun to make my twitter private cause they could see this... and decide whether they would be interested enough. O yeah that's why I wrote this originally. I wanted to go get friends on Twitter and shit got crazy. You can see for yourself if I choose to allow you to follow me! WHAT makes no sense. I wont privatize my Twitter. That's for gooks. Those extinct bald eagles))
But some don't need the privacy. Some dont care if they are seen or not. The world forgets, pretty quickly and on a time-line so short- who are we?, if we are choosing to make our time in life, private. Sketchy busiNAZz...YOooooo SO Oooooo ROooo
