It was nice too.
and quite lengthy...

I didn't really expect it 

but welcomed it fully with open arms.

You have never done anything 

significant in life if nothing is permanetly made for you.

Or maybe I'm just thinking this way

because I have my own poem now...

Either way,

My gratitude, humbleness and applause is granted

to the lovely poet.

If you didn't write the poem


=X

                                                                                        

Realized no one's life is simple and cute.

But intwining with events, people and accomidies that just nearly fill in the blanks.

A notebook with no paper.

Left unfulfilled until someone glues the restless pages back in.

What kind of life to live when no one trully fits in?

Bumping into each others' messes like a Coney Island joy ride.

How distant a path we pave blinded by ignorance

The bittersweet consequences we all bring.

No one's life is simple and cute

I rebuttle

Because Life is nothing short of suttle

Not meant to cuddle

We can only fess up and confide

In our bear for the moment, the friend 

who may be oh so kind

Making memories to last a lifetime

While cementing our attitudes toward life and beyond.

No one's life is simple and cute.

It surely is not a suit

Anyone could wear

Drifting to the side of our parallel life

Like old pajama wear

We lay our heads to dream these dreams

Complicated as they seem

Simply the truth seen and unseen.

Beyond the pages, glue and despair

We are all left to be complicated amongst each other

To win, to lose, someone must dare

Old Honest Souls

Old souls are the best 

Not only are they experienced and very wise

But they are no nonsense.

Life is fun when you use your time wisely.

But what these old honest souls have figured out is that

there is no time to bs.

Grab hold to a old honest soul

They will take you around the world

And leave a smile on your face 

When its their time to leave

I am a TAYLOR*

Since Wiz Khalifa released his first album in 2006 there has been a buzz about this intelligent-witty-weed-smoking prophet. Not only does his music define him but weed smokers everywhere can relate to the tales he recites in his lyrics....

Wiz Khalifa is a Philly native and after leaving his deal with Warner Bros became independent in 2009 where he then was catapulted from the streets onto many popular mixtapes and into peoples IPods.

The name khalifa derived from an Arabic word meaning, "successor" and wisdom.

As a listener and proclaimed "Taylor", I really do appreciate his original tone, swayed beats, alternative edges and hypnotizing verses often staggering along the lines of my Kid Cudi and CurrenSy playlists, Wiz K's music is always in steady rotation!

Some friends often ponder the intrigument I have with his music  but with just a quick listen the imagery he puts together so cleverly, his concept of smoking with someone else's girl and the potential that he has not yet reached often leaves the mind a blank canvas to run wild on.

And being real, any Wiz Khalifa mixtape is a great one to listen to when you're in the mood* or just riding down the block

I don't know about Wiz K groupies, nor has he found one with me but his music and personality (he does talk on his tracks and makes sense too) it sort of infatuates me for those three or four minutes... and that is what REAL MUSIC should do.

These are on my feet for now...

10 o clock News.

This week I learned how to, "Be a Better Friend"

Even when people don't let you know you're slipping.

You're SLIPPING!

Dead Leaves Fall Timelessly

It has been a dead month.

Just based on the lack of posts

you can tell I'm creatively frustrated

Because I get no time to express myself

emotions or anything I'm going through

But because of the lack of time management

I don't seem to have time for anything

It's kind of crummy really,

forget about any "me" time

Everyone needs me time!

It's nicknamed keep-sane time*

to adjust my feelings or auras

Instead it's

It's this that this.. Oops something popped up

LETS GO!.

So tomorrow, Friday.

I shall google-write-plan

time management

the process, the execution, the life*

Cause simply writing down what's due and

what's when in my planner

doesnt seem to time manage a thing.

The Silent Music

There is this silent music
that plays in my ears
Oblivious to the fact that no one cares
I dance
I jump
I wish I could see
The sweet songs melodies

I'm punished for not subsiding
and ignoring it like everyone else
but music is music right?
Shouldn't I adhere?
I don't know what the people want or
how to dish it
but the silent music plays in my ears
gathering my courage and
moving my limbs for me
swaying side to side

My pride
only hides
as the 3 minutes prepare an audience
to judge me

My mind wonders off down the yellow brick road
and the silent music carries me like a baby
and a bottle
my willingness sold

Back to my spaceship
where the silent music plays me into my sleep

Oh Molly Me!

Gucci Time

I was scrolling down my blog listening to "Gucci Time" (on BET 106 n Park, where else?) which has

a rather catchy tune and realized I have it all.

No, not in a I'm perfect, "I have it all!" demonic Cruela Devil voice*

but on my blog I have a little of everything,

music

videos

style

pictures

poems.

All of this yet I feel like my whole personality isn't plastered on my blog as it could be

it isn't...

I guess because twitter gets my quick thoughts and thats what I am made up of quick thoughts

and deliberating dilemmas.

But a part of me wants my blog PERFECT.

So that when the right person scrolls down and sees that little bit of everything,

they catch a lasting whiff of me.

Something that tingles their senses and makes them say

"Hmm rara avis." <  Eh, Something like that.

Cause really, I've been living

but I think it's time for me to be discovered for something..

for aannyyything that I do

nik_gold time?

almost?

I'll be growing, improving, learning until then.

The "Struggle"

Not only was I casted in my FIRST movie called, "Struggle" and no matter how small a movie it encourages me to expand my wings and test my limits, but this week has been a constant struggle.

In between my lack of attention, remorseful load of homework they decided to disperse in college and the lack of financial funds I've been living with, I used the word struggle as my word of the week.

Getting out of bed was a struggle... but lets me real... is that new?

What has been shockingly new however are low funds, compared to the workaholic reflected checking account I had earlier this summer, my savings have surely dwindled down.

From food, to necessities to unexpected dilemnas, the zeros surrounding my money escaped and ventured off elsewhere.

My search for a job was successful, not.

Hearing the same, "We will get back to you."

"We are not hiring but expecting applications."

I felt like I was on the same financial rollercoaster as this summer before Chili's and I despised it.

My resume was right, schedule tight but the money situation was certainly not right.

I sighed, I got sadder easily when I couldn't by food out, because quite frankly food makes me happy and continued my lowly struggle not only this week but this whole month.

I let no one know however because quite frankly, no one but my mom could help.

I'm not rich but I usually have money in my pocket, a little something, something

and to tell the truth I can't even remember how I got money in my pocket before I had my job.

Now I am really appreciative of what Chili's did for me... financially that is.

Then...

A miracle happened and God bestowed upon me a blessing in disguise, my accident earlier this summer,

only to settle and to be given the power to lighten my moms crazy load and fill

up my gas tank all the way for the first time this semester.

I went to the school's library and straight-studied, organizing my mind, schedule and my

workload to better suite me and my needs

but before I run free-happily, I must realize that in order to do better, I need

to get myself financially straight to keep an income like this coming in.

Before the weight of so much was lifted just a little...

I struggled.

Heard You Got That Sticky -_-

Easily taken as a bad chemistry project.

But for me it tests my patience and how to perform under pressure

The back of my head ticking like a bomb

Legs quivering.

All these songs about the same thing doesn't help

Nor soothe the pain.

To be quite honest who I surround myself with really does help my...

predicament.

Wiser and faster like a bunny rabbit in a hole.

I will not be trapped under this spell.

And if you haven't caught on 

Wipe the grease off your hands.

Music I Love!

Blown Out the Water

Was not expecting another pastor done wrong story for another year or so.

On top of this, I know this guy..

Ha! 

He was there for my graduation ceremonies (held at his huge cathedral) and I attended his church once or twice while I was back in Georgia.

I don't know how to feel quite frankly about this situation.

I called my mom about this because it could be a lot of things coming to the surface.

We all know the media looks for any reason to tear a wealthy, powerful black man down at the FIRST chance.

However, I'm not saying this is what is happening...

Like I said before...

I was not expecting this one.

My Husbands in here somewhere.... Hmmmm!

Yummmm!

Delish!

I want some BBE!
