So this is what I'm currently reading right now...I'm actually finished reading it...but this book is SOOOOOOOO AMAZING that I'm re-reading it over again...It really gives you 1.Knowledge 2.Wisdom 3.Understanding out of the 12 Jewels of the DIVINE MATHEMATICS...It's funny because I've been studying the Islam ways and really going hard on the SUPREME MATHEMATICS and the DIVINE ALPHABET...so this book just helped me even more into gaining more insight....RZA man, he's probably one of my favourite artist...simply because he comes with the TRUTH and I can really relate to him.......So if ya'll are looking for a good read that will give you the knowledge along with it...GO COP IT FOR REAL!
I apologize to my readers...I've been away for along time...Lots of things have been happening in my life good and bad that I've gotten competely caught up in..Revamping my apartment...painting, getting new furniture ect....A person very dear to me passed away, I've been really pushing forth on eating better...getting on the complete vegan tip...working on a clothing line..painting..playing the guitar...writing music and much much more...so I completely apologize! I think it's the Sun...when it's Sunny outside my melanin just reacts in a very energetic way....it keeps me on a hot foot...........
but i'm back...and I will start posting again........
Here is a song that I am really feeling right now...of course off the Distant Relative Album...
This past weekend it is said that Rapper GURU one half of the Legendary Group GANGSTARR suffered a heart attack and is in critical condition...it is also said that he is due to go to surgery today...Gangstarr is one of the groups as a yougin' growing up on real hiphop...I listened to...I have the albums...I've seen 'em live....so this is really sad to hear.....I truly hope he comes through all right....and many positive thoughts and vibes go out to him and his family......
When your a little girl you have these visions of what your life would be like...It's so easy when your young to put aside reality and focus on just dreaming...But as you get older you grasp a hold of reality and you suddenly realize that there has to be a balance of both...I'm in a state of confusion when it comes to certain factors that have been put in front of me right now...but one thing I know for sure is that OUR DIVINE CREATOR Never Fails Us...I will continue to Reflect, Rejoice & Give Thanks...and participate in the ONENESS of LIFE...LOVE!!!
"Don't Worry Baby! I know there's Confusion...GOD's Gonna See Us Through YEAH!...PEACE OUT TO REVOLUTION!!!"
Aight so ya'll should be familiar with the BOONDOCKS by now...if you ain't, go get ur copy of season 1 & 2...cuz it is one of the most thought provoking, at the same time funny and straight giving ya'll the truth cartoon every made.....I remember I couldn't wait to cop a source magazine just to read the boondocks comics, so ya know I was super excited when it became a tv show.........all I know is that when my daughter gets older the Boondocks is going to be her favourite cartoon...
JILL SCOTT...I got goosebumps watching this interview...especially during the part when she's talking about her son and the process of making her new album.....She has such a Beautiful Essence...I hope that one day I can get to that level of expressing myself creatively....and her new album is going to be called "LIGHT OF THE SUN" wow! Brilliant!
p.s. I also love the fact that she doesn't drive & is humble enough to take the bus..and Monique who I find sort of annoying...had enough love for Jill to take her to her appointment..I LOVE Friends who when your child's father isn't there can help out with some of the duties!
Alright I don't buy into all that Valentines Bullshit...but I know most of ya'll do...so I'm a give ya'll some Hiphop "LOVE" joints, cuz ya know R&B would be waaaaaaaaay to mushy...lol But yeah these are some tracks that I listened to when I was a teenager...ya know when I was diggin' somebody or falling in love......
LITTLE BROTHER - "STEP IT UP" "You can still do thangs to show you ain't on no dumb shit, take her to a gallery a museum or some shit.."
(I was chillin' with my homie & he was playin this mix of hiphop love type joints...and I totally forgot about this track. We all met somebody that just makes us a better person...and esp. for ya'll dudes thats a big thing, when a girl makes you get on point and forget ya player days!)
MYSTIC - "NEPTUNES JEWELS" "It's more than your lips on the nap of my neck, or your hands on my breast, with your leg on my thigh, or the look in your eyes when you slide inside, it's the way you make me wanna live instead of die..."
(This track right here sums up when I first fell in love...We were definitely drawn to each other on some magnetic gravitational force type shit...aaaah! Those were the days!)
PHAROAHE MONCH - "THE LIGHT" "She could serve me pain all night and I could tolerate, I'm her horizon right, but in the night though, Night glow type shit and I know you can see the light..."
(I just love this track...to me it's a classic and Pharoahe just has this way of putting words together...simply DOPE!)
DEAD PREZ - "MIND SEX" "When you show me your mind, it makes me wanna show you mines, Reflecting my Light, when it Shines, just taking our time..."
(Ok so if this ain't your all time fav Hiphop Love Joint...U Crazy! This song explains the true foundation of REAL LOVE...Physical Attraction at first, but the Mental, Spiritual, Emotional Connection comes before the Love Making...REMEMBER THIS...If you actually want a true relationship!)
TUPAC - "THUG IN ME" "Only got f--ked by a drug dealer, never felt the passion of a thug n-gga"
(Alright this is a track to smash to, if you in love or not...LMAO, I remember this dude tried to play me this track back in the day, just cuz I love Pac...didn't work...but maybe for some other broads...either way it's a good song...I also wanna mention "RATHER BE YOUR N.I.G.G.A." & "CAN YOU GET AWAY" by Pac)
I have so many more but Ok this is the Last Track...
BLACK STARR - BEAUTIFUL (Remix) ft.MARY J. "Suitable to be part of the Cosmos! With my eyes closed I see you clearly combine lifetimes with like minds your love light shine.."
(The way Talib & Mos describe shit is exactly the way I would..it's the essence they talking about not the surface stuff...Just Realness!)
COMPLEX RELEASED THERE TOP 25 HIPHOP LOVE SONGS...I disagree with some of 'em but it's all good...Peep It Here COMPLEX HIPHOP LOVE SONGS
p.s. To all my sisters..I know V-day gets ya'll amped but don't settle....it's ok to be by yourself, that's the best time for growth, knowledge of self, self love..and all that good stuff! It is gained when you are single...get on the prepapration tip...don't look...love will find you!
PEACE & LOVE

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." --BUDDAH
Since almost eveyone gets in the mind frame to change around this time...whether it is physical, spiritual or emotional being...I thought this quote was a perfect start to the motivation...I was reasoning with my sisterines the other day...and we were discussing things from what we need to do to change as far as what we eat because of all of this processed, steroid filled foods...to becoming closer to the MOST HIGH, to getting over personal feeling towards past relationships, friends etc.......and I just came to the conclusion that not only is life about seeking balance...but the core...the middle ground that holds the body & soul together is the mind....What I mean by this is...say you want to stop eating meat or junk food....what is the ultimate ruler of the action if achieved....your MIND...if you want to get over a past lover...it is your mind that seeks other things and over comes it......So i said to my sisterines we need to cultivate our mind and build it's strength and discipline in order to gain the rest........it is the mind that the evil doe'rs seek to control because of it's valuable state of rule over the entire being..............Even spirituality is gained through the mind because the mind instills the seed in order to discipline and stay on the path of righteousness.......the mind is what controls everything...the mind gives you the knowledge and the mind sheds the wisdom........So this new year....let us all start with a positive attitude.....even when the world seems to be rough....and getting rougher......there will be ZION....and when it comes you will be ready..........
Almost every year around this time ppl get excited and start making plans for the new year...everyone says "this yr is going to be mine...it's going to be a good year!"...Myself, well ya'll already know I ain't the average...and plus my belief system is different from most...New Years to me my own personal one comes on my birthday...and as far as a collective new year it comes in Spring along with the Earth's energy...well that's what makes sense to me and that is what I follow...
BUT...since I'm living in a world where the majority believes in new year's being Jan 1st I thought i'd do a little forward reflection...and on the real...this coming year does seem like a good year for alot of reasons...
ONE being...
Those who know me know I LOVE SOCCER!!! and I take it very seriously...last world cup I almost broke my hand because I punched a wall so hard (cuz Italy won) I despise italy..lol.....but yeah I cannot wait...and the best part is it's in AFRIKA!!!
SECOND reason...
Myself & millions of other women LOVE LOVE LOVE sex and the city...and from the looks of the trailer they seem to be going to Egypt...aka Afrika Woo hoo!!!
Other reasons for 2010 being Greeeeeeaaaaat!...I'm hoping to purchase my first car, My daughter will be turning 3...on 10/10/10 which is a big number for numerology and for my daughter...I will be throwing a huge party for that!...
Good things are coming our way...but for it to get better it's gotta get worse...so unfortunately the world will be facing far worse things than we already have...but the sun will always come out...so always look for brighter days!!!
Last time I heard anything about CORINNE BAILEY RAE was that her husband had died...I'm not sure of what...but he had passed away....Now I don't blame her for taking time off....but I guess she is coming back with some new music...and on the real.....Music heals and calms the soul....I felt like crying watching this video cuz I can see that she is hurting and the words that she is singing are so sincere to her.........

Years ago I was learning to play the Afrikan drums from one of my Rasta Man bretherens...but ofcourse I didn't have my own drums so I couldn't continue...well, well, well, I FINALLY Purchased my own drums...it cost about a $100 and isn't the exact size I wanted but it will do for now....I'm hooked and practice to some Brazilian tunes and some old ska..........I'm in LOVE!!!
p.s. The pic above is not my drums...lol I gotta charge my camera and let ya'll see it!
I love that SHYNE used the time in the bing to reflect and change....I think it's really good that he has moved back to BELIZE...the entertainment industry could really suck you in and spit you out...The one with a strong soul will eventually leave the fakeness of "hollywood"....for example Lauryn Hill and Chapelle....
