Class Blog

Today on January 20th 2011 we had an unexpected guest come to our class to help educate and uplift our souls with some powerful strong words of advice. His name was sweets yes I said sweets but Don't take his name for granted. Sweets competed and won in many hair shows, did Keyshia Cole hair, and is currently getting ready to work as a  personal hairdresser for the Monique show. Sweets gave us many words of wisdom but the one quote that was stuck in my head for the rest of the day was "Dreamers dream and sleepers sleep" I thought about it for a long time, I even tweeted it and whats this saying means is people who dream big and have goals will eventually make them and people who don't will unfortunately be in the same spot until the begin to dream.

The "Black Cat" Jordan 13s

The Air Jordan 13s are one of the most unique shoes ever released in the Jordan line. If you look at the sole of them you will see a huge resemblance with a panthers paw. By the heel of the Air Jordan 13s are a circle hologram and if you look close you will see the number 23, a basketball, and the Jumpman logo. If you've ever watched Michael play then you would see the resemblance between him and a panther. Michael Jordan would watch his players, and all of a sudden he would make the move, and before you knew what happened Michael had the ball. People had told him that he was like a panther on the court and thats how the "Black Cats" came to mind. There a great shoe and I plan on getting them very soon!

"The Calm"

Uh, And life is so insane, look what I've became, tryna make a name
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame
Because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain
They love it when you smile unaware that it's a strain
It's a curse you gotta live with when you born to entertain
Women need attention therefore women will complain
Develop hatred for men and say that your the one to blame
Tryna enjoy myself with Taz in miami at the game
I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like dwayne
It's a weight that's on my chest whoever spottin' me is playin'
So I'm liftin' all alone try not to get a sprain
Hopin' western union doing currency exchange
Cause my dad called and got me feelin' guilty and ashamed
Like, how I had a Rolls and I went and got a Range
And he payin' for his cigarettes with dollars and some change
Damn, and I could only feel his pain
Cause in memphis tennessee there's only so much to attain
So I'm fillin' out the form at the counter once a-gain
He say he love me I just hope he doesn't say that shit in vain
I'm why yo girl heart is in a slang
Call me heartbreak Drake I'm the hardest one to tame
As a man I'm just honest as a artist I'm a king
With my own set of problems that be sittin' on my brain
Yea, And see this is the thang
What they viewing as braggin' is the way that I maintain
The shit I write while staring out the window of a plane
Is the single handed reason I Remain

What does it mean to be authentic?

To be authentic means to not only become the character but to live and breath as the character. Denzel Washington, Will Smith, and Angelina Jolie are examples of that.When they get a new role in a movie they try and do things that will help them understand the character much more, they go out and do things that can help bring them closer to the character. For example when Denzel was working on Training Day he started to walk, talk and look like the role he was assigned to play. In one of his interviewed he said he gained 40 pounds to help him understand and become much more closer to the character he was trying to be and that's what being an authentic is all about, you need to live as the whoever you are trying to play or else it isn't going to be real and it won't look believable.

New Year Resolution

So its now 2011 and everyone and there grandma are making new year resolutions and personally I don't like that fact that we choose to wait until the new year to have a resolution. We shouldn't give thanks only on thanksgiving day and we shouldn't only use the words I love you on valentines day. Just because its a day with a name doesn't mean we should wait for the day to come to give thanks, say I love you, or have a resolution. But for the people out there who are interested in what I plan to do for the new year I'll break my rule this time and this time only. For the new year I plan on making twice as much music as i did last year. I plan on putting out double the amount of videos I put out last year and last but not least I plan on doing what I want and when I want. I'm tired of letting people rule my life. It's not what I need right now I need to express my feeling because as an artist people don't want to listen to someone who only makes a certain type of of record just cause its hot at the time. The real artist are the ones that are real and that's how I need to be.

Christmas Redemption

The "Christmas Redemption" is a powerful uplifting production directed by Kim Thomas. It was presented by Kingdom House Christian Center and located at Mississauga Secondary School. This powerful life changing Musical production deals with real people facing real life challenges. As a SVP member I attended every show and did my part in helping the production roll smooth and I must say from what I saw they lived up to there every word. My job was to take photos on the day of the show. I took a great amount of photos that surprisingly came out good! The only problem I faced while taking these photos I was to far back so the performing photos seemed far and dark, but during the intermission I took a great amount of photos while the actors were getting ready for there next scene. In conclusion I had fun during the show and it was a production that I will never for get.
