HAVE YOU EMBRACED YOURSELF TODAY?

MY POWER IS MORE THEN MY SKIN!

When I saw this photo of MJ, it hit me with this powerful truth.

With all the controversy of the color of his skin, MJ dealt with something most of us deal with. Self Image, Self Esteem & Skin issues. From a teenager to this day, I have battled with acne & skin blemishes and my self esteem. For the most part, proactiv as worked wonders, but doesn't solve everything. MJ many times has talked about his acne and how his father and cousins would tease him for his skin, and this was when he was a huge megastar in the Jackson 5!

Imagine the feeling of getting on stage in front of millions of people and the spotlight is right on you for the world to see. It can be very damaging. I feel the same way every time I put on a camera to do a FIVEblackgUys video. I feel very insecure at times, but then I remember...

MY POWER IS MORE THEN SKIN!

My creativity and ability to show my personality is more then a pimple or a blemish.

I shouldn't let that stop me right?

If MJ can become the biggest entertainer known to man

with all his flaws, then maybe I can be more to.

DO YOUR SKIN BLEMISHES

HOLD YOU BACK FROM BEING YOU?

Cinematic Videos VS Many Simple Videos?

{PLEASE CHECK OUT THE VIDEO & COMMENT}

After the untimely death of Micheal Jackson, I started to looked back on all his videos I used to watch when I was younger. I remember being afraid when THRILLER first came out. Sitting with my family when BLACK OR WHITE premiered, and just talking to family and friends about how big a deal it was to see SCREAM with his sister Janet. It was a time when videos were so CINEMATIC!

As MJ started moving away from the music industry and downloading music has been taken away money from artist, video quality has become less & less. Yet now with Beyonce at the helm, artist are looking at creating smaller budget videos for every song on there album, and use them as a way to bring up album sells in re-releases. Even Day26 is put out 6 videos for there FOREVER IN A DAY album!

AS FANS, WHAT DO YOU PREFER?

CINEMATIC VIDEOS OR MANY SIMPLE VIDEOS?

Remarkable is Home!

I'm like soooo happy!

{yes I'm cheezin as I type this!}

It was sunday morning, I was laying on the couch, with face cream on my face, stinky and tired as well, and I hear someone opening the door. I look up and I see a figure of a well groomed man, and I'm thinking is that him?

Now mind you, he was suppose to be getting out of Jail on Monday, and I was expecting him to have a full beard with tats and be cock diesel, LOL.

But when I saw it was him, I jumped off the coach right into his arms, and we just hugged each other as long as we could. I just couldn't believe it has been 10 whole days without my baby! I cried, yeah I know, I'm such a sap, but there was just a lot of built in emotion in me. It was hard feeling lonely, and not being able to go to anyone intimately like that. But I made it, and I was just happy he was out early!

We took a shower.

we talked.

well I talked.

he said he wanted to eat.

we decided to go to ihop.

it took us a loooooong time...

to get to ihop.

:)

I'm just happy he is home!

Youtube & Twitter has divided my Power!

Some one pointed out that I don't write much on my blog anymore.

And I don't.

Why is that? I blame it on enhanced technology and laziness. Twitter is a easy and fast way to get out what ever random thoughts I may have. This is the laziness is me. I only have to write a sentence without any thought, and bam, there it is. And I get responses much quicker then any comment on my blog.

Youtube is a great way to showcase my creativity. VIDEO is like the new technology of our generation. I mean, what phone doesn't have a camera and video capabilities. I mean you can even edit videos on your Iphone! With VIDEO I can really put visuals and words together in movement.

So now the randomness and creativity of my blog as been divided.

Yet even still, what both of them lack is the ability of free flowing thoughts of words from the heart. I actually write better then speaking, and I actually love to put thoughts into my words. Even though writing letters with a pencil and pen are almost long gone (don't even remember the last time I did that) I will try and keep blogging alive!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

IS BLOGGING DEAD?
