Tyler Perry has done it again! Contributing to the heavy realization of the black movie business being more than comedy, but growth, spirituality and life lessons. From the first preview I saw I wanted to see this movie!
"For Colored Girls Only" had me at the title, kept me with the talent, Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Jill Scott, Macy Gray etc , and "For Colored Girls Only" is just one of twenty influential poems, spoken by seven women, each with their own major problem dilemna and fighting through it.
I give it a MUST SEE
especially for all colored girls
and dont hesitate bringing tissue to this movie!

This may not be the sweetest post to anyways tongue.
But it quite frankly needs to be put out of my system, my aura, my space.
It's ruining my mood and my developing outlook on the world.
I was "Chilling" yesterday.
Normal day in Orangeburg,
Dreary, depressing and redundant.
But I make the best... sometimes, by chilling.
Chilling which could be a number of things but right now I'm not getting specific
cause chilling was never the problem.
However the person I choose to chill with yesterday stirred a lot up in me.
I am not one to shy away from arguments especially
when I am heavily connected to the topic, but chill buddy yesterday crossed, drew and ran right threw the line.
Things I hold close to me are what anyone else would hold close to theirs.
Plus this here blog.
Having it for some years, it is my buddy ol pal.
My closest buddy I can voice my opinions and know they will be heard.
What I post is real, authentic and at times embarrassing but
it's my way to voice myself and I wouldnt change it for the world
I don't keep an in depth journal and tis why I
don't get so personal on this here blog.
I mean this is still the internet.
Business EVERY WHICH WAY.
....
But I digress.
Chill buddy yesterday
basically asked me being who I am, what I talked about on my blog.
That not being such a problem though, chill buddy has been in my life for more than a year,
knowing about my blog and visiting should have came hand in hand,
But however, I gave that one away.
Maybe he (yes he), is not the blog, computer or even internet type.
The closest he may get to the internet is the keyboard on his phone.
-_- maybe.
So I elaborated a little about what my blog was about...
Wasn't even finished my God damned sentence when..
YEAH
"Who are you, though? To right this stuff, like who is nik_gold? Am I a source to care?"
came slurring out of his mouth.
Now I know he may not be the only one to have that question,
nik_gold?
blogger?
what's that?
But the way you undermine someone for their worth and
meaning limits them as a
person, and what they could someday be...
Plus, blogging is freeeeeeeee, internet is unlimited and
what I do with my site is everything and ANYTHING for me.
It's my Myspace reloaded, Facebook 7.0, TwitterPLUS,
It's my open end to a closed fist and anyone with a problem can just not read,
go read necole Bitchie or something and have a nice day.
Now I don't know who my readers surround themselves with but
someone who is willing to down something or someone before they fully understand
anything and you chill with them, and theyre arent giving you advice.
PUHLEASE
I think less of them than all the racist, timids, morbids, close minded, individuals in the world
especially since I was chilling with you in redundant, depressing Orangeburg trying to make the best of it.
Spit.
Your belief that one person can mean nothing makes YOU less than anything.

It was nice too.
and quite lengthy...
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
Either way,
My gratitude, humbleness and applause is granted
to the lovely poet.
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.

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
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

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
