embrace, embody, believe

I did a minishoot with myself today. A spur of the moment impulse that resulted in me shooting some of my favorite shots of the year. I'm not usually a fan of high ISO speeds but it worked to my advantage in this case.

Nikki NTU Vs. Brainfeeder: Medulla Dinner

Upper Management off the recent release Nikki Ntu vs. Brainfeeder: Medulla Dinner. This may very well be my favorite track after Pelican Fly. I love the fact that I was introduced to Ms. Ntu's music via twitter because she embodies the very vibe I search for in a musician. While I find enjoyment in today's commercial rap, I'm grateful for artists with a more conscious approach because they have the ability to make me think deeper than the ordinary run-of-the-mill rapper or singer. I create to this music.

I've been eying this Realm of Consciousness bracelet by Peace Images since I discovered it a week or so ago. The designer behind this piece is extremely talented. Find it at her big cartel shop http://peaceimages.bigcartel.com/

REAL RECOGNIZE

The question became, “how do I become the person I need to be?” The answer came, “by being free.”

Mind
Body
& Soul

Be Free.

It begins in Jersey. A pink room junked from wall to wall. I am surrounded by memories, memoirs, old dreams, and new nightmares. Somehow, I got caught up waiting for life to come to me. Now I see I have to go to it. I have to run full speed reaching and grab every piece that I can; give it my all.

Breathe.

Nikki Ntu plays in the background. She’s new, not to the craft but to me, providing the soundtrack to this “new” beginning, speaking words unsaid, poetic, profound, inspirational, and true.

Down to Earth.

A place I wish to be. It reads, “letting go never felt so good.” I wonder if I listen hard enough will she tell me how to do just that. Let go

Fear playing tricks on a weak mind.

Two minutes and twenty-something seconds to the end of the download. Counting down to letting go…

Finding Relevance.

I strip away pages of words written with pain ill-disguised. Emotions so raw, I need to hide. In a search for clarity, they crowd my path. Welcome Destiny. For the longest I’ve been allowing my inhibitions to hold hostage all that I know to be true about myself. I’ve been trying to hide it all afraid that if seen I’d be mindlessly ridiculed and question; made a fool out of. Slowly, the fool is emerging, despite my attempts. I cannot hide.

dont believe the hype

Excuse me from the hype. I just want to be free.
