Picture life a track full of hurdles....
Some people may have more to hurdle then others, but no one track is clear of obstacles
Just gotta have the strength & drive to clear em'

My new Obsession

Modernism

At first, I started OD'in on modern contemporary homes, furnishings, etc. But then I found out it's a movement that transcends beyond architecture and alla jazz, but there's also an art behind it (surprise surprise, there's an art behind everything nowadays huh?). The whole goal is to reject tradition, & stress freedom of expression and experiment; & I mean, what's better then using the mind to create new, fresh ideas, riiiight?

Ye' does it again






Kanye has done it again (no dickriding), b/c I already stated I used to hate him til' his very recently.lol. Anyways. Although, I'm a few days late posting this, this is still a dope ass video folks. Kudos to the video director, Nabil Elderkin, and his good use of "data moshing" & "bleeding-pixels"(video techniques/effects). I feel that the creativity put behind this video is only right for the hip hop visionary Mr. West. All in all, good shit, keep up the work, & I'm waiting to see what the real single (Amazing) will look like when it drops

Back like 45'

Did ya miss me?lol
sike nah, But as you all can see, I took some time away from this blogging shit. I've been in driving school for the last 7 days so between that, my laziness/procrastination and a lack of time in general, I've been neglecting all of this. But nevertheless, i returned back to blogging, which is something I enjoy.
Far as my Valentine Day weekend, it had its ups & downs. Pretty much had the worst Valentine Day ever.lol. Had nothing to do with my lack of a date because that didn't bother me as much, but I stayed in the house literately the entire day. The only exposure I had besides these walls was to rake leaves outside and do a little bit of skateboarding (as usual). But my manz spent a night & so we pretty much chilled that night as well as the next day; and a few other lil' outtings after that. The highlight of my weekend though....*drumroll please*...going to Jessica's house.lol.
I had a few songs I've been trying to learn on the piano for some time and because of my hardheadedness and my inexperience, could never teach myself this one song in particular. Well, luckily for me, I happen to have a good friend that's skilled in music and some of her talent happened to rub off on me.lol *just a little bit*
After about a good hour and some change of practice, embarrassment, frustration and side jokes, I got the melody down in my right and a fraction of the chords in my left. In about a month or two, check the blog to see my updated video of my progress (I should have it done along w/the vocals by then). Until then, I'll show you how the original was performed, by the great American Alternative band, Coldplay.
Enjoy.
