My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Pilot Talk 2


As my homie Ice Cube once said "Today is a good day" now why you ask well  two of my favorite artist have  decided to drop there albums on the same day and as a supportive fan I plan on buying both of them no questions asked. Now im not going to lie you all but did happen to hear Kanye's album before it dropped, im deeply sorry but when you love someones music so much you'll do anything to hear there new product. And as for Pilot Talk 2, this album has been on my wish list for some time now so I expect nothing but greatness from it. Currency is the name of the artist who made Pilot Talk and is you don't no of him do your research because him and Kanye are not that far from the tree, both of these artist are affiliated with Rocafella in some way and just the other day I heard Kanye is planning to work with Currency but until then let's just sit back and enjoy these two DOPE albums.

"Seven"

Last week me and my Class finished watching the movie Seven starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. My overall rating on this movie was a 9 out of 10. I loved the way the killer used the seven steps as a way to prove his point, it was creative and interesting to see what he would do next. Brad Pitt was my favorite actor in this movie because I felt like he had to do the most work out of the whole cast because his character was so much different then how he really is. Morgan Freeman was always in the moment and I defiantly felt his character and even though his role was very laid back he still was able to be the leader in the movie. One thing that I didn't love about this movie was the ending, it was to obvious and it ended to soon I felt like the movie was still unwrapping some very important details before it ended. This movie opened my eyes because the moment it was done I started to think about the seven deadly sins and I found myself asking which one of the sins am I? This was a very hard question that I still need to answer but at the same time I loved that the movie kept me thinking even after it was over.

Art In The City

Graffiti Art 

Street Poetry

A couple days ago I was downtown on a school project. So I decided to bring my camera to capture these unforgettable moments. As I was taking photos and enjoying my time downtown I began to realize that our city is filled with talent and art. I was amazed and I began to see the streets with a different point of view. As I was walking down the streets of Toronto I came across two talented men who grabbed my attention, I didn't get there names but I did get a chance to get a picture of them at work. The first picture above is the graffiti artist I came across, I was on the other side of the street and I barely noticed him. His art was very detailed and I and as I watched him I began to think how much time he might of put into it. This was my first ever time seeing a graffiti artist at work and I'm very thankful I got the chance to see it. The picture below was the highlight of my trip. Even though I didn't personally know this young artist I felt his passion and I began to see a story. As he read his poetry he had a hat that was half filled with change from people who wanted to help and as I watched him I tried to think of why he was where he is and why isn't he where he wants to be. His choice of words he used in his poetry stook out to me and grabbed everyone's attention. I began to feel his pain and As I dropped change in his hat I felt like I knew his story his poetry made me feel like I was living it with him.

Life on the Streets

Last Friday me and my class were downtown for an assignment and we were able to do our own thing and explore the town. Every time I go down town I feel different it's hard to explain but I just love the environment. I would never think twice if I had a chance to live down there. the people there are real nice and they seem like good citizens but even thought its a great city there still was many down falls to it. we seen a lot of people fighting for there lives on the streets. We happened to meed this one guy who use poetry as way to collect money so he could eat he had a great story and he also was very good when it came to writing poems. As we walked down the streets of Toronto we seen many homeless people and it was stressful walking by them without helping. I've always wanted to know how so much people can be homeless, its a question that forever will bother me. but something stook out to me as I watched the homeless people of Toronto. they weren't all upset some of them were pretty happy. Seeing this made me humble myself and I learned that you need to be thankful for what you have even if its nothing at all.

Downtown Vintage Shopping

  Last Friday me and my class took a trip downtown to shop in Ossington  now this wasn't the regular every day type of shopping that people usually do, this was Vintage shopping and there's a big difference. I  never really knew what it was until Mrs. Thomas went into detail and  told me more  about. I found out that vintage shopping is basically buying anything that's retro like old clothing, glasses, or even shoes. When I first head about this I wasn't that exited because I thought it was not any different from regular shopping, I thought I could of walked into any store and get something vintage but of course I was wrong. Me and my group members had to go to many specific stores in order to find something vintage and not only did we need to find vintage clothing but we need certain pieces of cloths to fit our scene. After a long time of walking we found one specific store called black market not this defiantly was a vintage store. They had everything and not only did they have all vintage cloths but they had them all for 10$. This was perfect because our class goal was to spend no more then 10$ each and thanks to Black Market that's exactly what we did. So in conclusion I encourage everyone go vintage shopping at least once in there life time. It's a great experience and its something that you shouldn't miss out on.

Kanye West – Access Hollywood Interview

I cannot wait until his album drops!
 "Dark Twisted Fantasy" Coming Soon...

Easy E Monologue

The other day me and my class were faced with a new assignment. This task was to pick a celebrity and do a monologue about there life. The catch was that you could only use a celebrity who have either had or have a tragic life. After long nights of thought I decided to pick Easy E. Eric Lynn Wright AKA Easy E was an American rapper from Compton California, he was a founder and member of a group called N.W.A but later on became a solo artist. Easy E spoke about urban street life in his lyrics. Even though Easy E was a successful rapper he did deal with many tragic issues that I feel I can relate to because even though I didn't live his life I know people who sold drugs, I know people who dropped out of school, and I'm  also a rapper so therefore becoming Easy E will be a challenge but it won't be hard. After completing this task I plan to learn more about the Hip-Hop history. I feel this is very important because this is what I plan on doing as a life time career. I also hope that my monologue will help educate others on why rappers talk about certain topics in there raps. If at least one person takes something away from my monologue that will help them understand the Hip-Hop culture then I'll feel like my work has been accomplished. So until then I will be watching interviews listening to his music and also slowly dressing like him until I fully become Easy E.

"Why Everyone Should Take An Acting Class"

The other day I read an article on a website called http://theactingroom.com/ and it spoke about why everyone should take at least one acting class in there life time. I diceided to agree with this article becuse it contained alot of good reasons. I also felt that all of the reasons that the article gave were very realistic for everyone for example the article said that if you want to peruse  business, sales, politics, or teaching you should take an acting class because it will enhance your  public performance skills and also your self esteem and poise. I also learned that by taking acting classes you will learn how to understand how another person thinks and that could help with personal relationships. I'm currently in an acting class and I feel that I am learning things that I will never learn in any other class I also feel that Drama is just as important as Math, or Science because  Drama helps you develop in so many different skills that Math or Science would never be able to teach.

Thanksgiving!

So as some of you may know today is Thanksgiving and I woke up today very thankful. Every Thanksgiving I try to think about the things that I am thankful for and the one thing that I noticed I thought about the most was my family & friends. I'm very lucky and blessed to have them in my life, without them I know I would not be where I am today. they all helped make me who I am as a person. Everyday I learn something new from them. It's amazing to have so many good influences in my life and for that I am thankful. I'm thankful for my friends and family because they are the people who will be with me until the end, they are the people who are the most honest to me when everyone else isn't. I'm so happy to have my friends and Family and with out them I am nothing. They will forever have a spot in my heart. Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless

So You Think You Can Dance Canada

|

The other day me and my class had a trip to "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" and most of us had already been about 2 or 3 times so my teacher Mrs. Thomas made the trip a bit more interesting by giving us all all roles to play when we get there. The role I got was a Celebrity and honestly when I got the role a was a bit nervous I didn't really want to play such a big role but as I sat there and listened to what my teacher had to say I thought it wouldn't be so bad. So now here I am at So You Think You Can Dance Canada with my entourage acting like a celeb and believe it or not but it worked! People could not take there eyes of me, we were all in the moment and even though we didn't look the part as much it still was very believable. But I must say the part that sealed the deal for me was when someones mother im talking about a full grown women who was about in her 30s or 40s. She came up to me and asked for my autograph and for a quick minute I broke, I wasn't expecting it and so it caught me of guard. But long story short I learned that you need to lose yourself in order to become believable, don't think about what your going to do next or else your going to look stupid but anyways that's all for now Peace and Love!

What does it mean to find the "Essece" of the actor?

To find the essence of the actor means to always be prepared, so that way every thing the actor does looks and feels so natural to the point where it seems so real. In order for this to happen you need to become your character by putting your self in whoever's shoes you are trying to become.
