Take care

You can't build a bridge and get over everything.

Sometimes it takes years to build a bridge.

And sometimes it takes even longer to cross it.

We've all been hurt. 

the morning after..

 

Valentines Day is over.

Morning After Pills are sold out everywhere.

People are questioning their relationships.

...just wanted to say

Happy Valentine's Day Bae...

For a Legend.

Miss Whitney Houston,
     You were something to be marveled and inspired by. A true artist, diva, and entertainer with an chilling, unforgettable voice. I recall a time in my youth where my mother would put on the track "I Will Always Love You" and that would always get me out of bed in the mornings. I would wake up hitting the big And IIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!! note or trying to hit that note lol. Whitney, we will always love you and you will greatly be missed. 

Still can't believe that you're gone...

Wonderland...

     

     This earth was created to inhabit and create life. I believe that we all serve a purpose and that we all have a choice. Life is all about choices; the right and wrong. We all reach a crossroads throughout our journey in life and whether we go left or right all depends on us. We subconsciously make decisions everyday to evoke action. Sometimes we have to take the road less traveled to get to where we need to be. Your destiny may be right in your grasp but it is completely up to you to acknowledge and let that destiny manifest.

     This world consist of billions of people along with a myriad of things to do and see. Only an ignorant person would say they have done it all but a wise man in his travels knows that there is much more to life that is unbeknownst. You have got to be fearless and face the world ready to learn and explore the many things life has to offer. I always say "Be Blessed and Dress to Impress". That is something to live by. You never know what you may encounter on your journey through life.

     Lately I have been hearing the term "YOLO" (You Only Live Once) being used as an excuse to do things that aren't necessarily concur to the norms of society. I do agree with the fact that you do indeed "only live once" but will the decisions you make tarnish your reputation or (God forbid) your well being. Remember this saying while you're out there in the world: "YODO" (You Only Die Once). Be mindful of the choices that you make and how it may affect your present and most importantly; your future.

     I hope you think about this article when you come across a fork in the road. May you have faith and reap all of the joy and love that the world has to offer.

Music Monday

Welcome to the coronation of Music Mondays!!!!

For the first ever "Music Monday" I will like to introduce one of my all time favorites.. No Doubt! I remember being in grade school and listening to them. They had wicked original style and delivered a twisted pop/ska sound. This is one of my favorites from the group.. a mellow grove set for easy listening. Here's "Underneath it All".. check it out.

Hello February...

Valentines Day, Black History Month, Shortest month on the calendar..

     I could ramble about how much I love/hate Valentines day and I could waste my time talking about how we only give 28 (29 due to leap year this year) days to recognize black excellence. I could..I should.. I can.. BUT I won't. I celebrate everyday I'm alive. I give love to those who deserve it and I show respect to my brethren when I feel it has been earned. This month is a month to be inspired by those who paved the way for the likes of you and I to be great.

     A few African Americans who inspire me are of course Barack & Michelle Obama, Kanye West, Kerry Washington, Arthur Ashe, Phyllis Hyman etc.. They all have their own unique stories; I'm still writing mine. I hope to inspire others to be fearless and go out and push their dreams forward. That's my goal.

     Most of my readers know how I feel about love. If you're new click here.. http://duhhebadd.blogspot.com/2012/01/love.html 

     I'll let my readers in on a little dirty secret.. despite how I feel about love.. I LOVE it! I love, love. I like this time of the month actually. I like the tacky teddy bears and the chocolate filled hearts covered strawberries. I love the feeling in the air when I step out into the city to see all the couples going out to rekindle their flame and to celebrate the love they have for each other. I LOVE that shit! Will I have a Valentine? We Will see.

So here we are in February... A fresh start for many. Kind of like a second new year for some. I welcome you with open arms. Lets see what you've got in store for us February. 

 

Until tomorrow comes, take care for now..

<3 - Renard
