FASHION FRIDAY: STREET WEAR - SNAPBACKS

Sun is out and beaming on your head. I guess it's time to swagger up with your Snapback. Yes! I can forecast that this summer is the year of the SNAPBACKS. So start your summer up strong with a fresh Snapback.

MOVIE THURSDAY: STAR TREK: INTO THE DARKNESS

                  ATTENTION ALL MY STAR TREK FANS/NERDS

The time we have been waiting since the first installment of the Star trek movie is now here to "live long and prosper". Yes!..... STAR TREK:INTO THE DARKNESS is out now and if you are a Star trek fan or if you liked the first star trek movie, then you HAVE to see this movie. A lot of us remember growing up to the original star trek with William Shatner A.K.A Captain James T. Kirk (Wow! just saying that, put some age to me..lol) and how we were "Nerding out" to this series. The fact that Hollywood remade this amazing syfy series into this incredible  Block Buster movie for the new generation who might not be able to comprehend how GREAT Star trek was during it's time when it first aired in 1966, is just awesome. So get some friends together or take your significant other and go see this movie.

REAL TALK WEDNESDAY: ANIMALS OR CIVILIZED ANIMALS

The world that we live in today, our parents can no longer just say that actions have consequences. Some life threatening... well that's not true they can say and they do. But this generation will always needs more. I am for experiencing the world and learning from our mistakes but why are we so dull, that just saying "Stealing electricity is dangerous you can be electrocuted," isn't that not enough?
We live in a world where we progressed from people traumatized by the movie Jaws that the same people from that generation still find it difficult to enter 3 feet of water. To people that freely distributes photos and videos of decapitated bodies, burnt bodies; mutilated bodies. We are so desensitized by those images, that we are using these images to either instill fear in the population or teach a moral lesson like "Don't Steal electricity or Don't Snitch". Of course these things are taught by the media, but don't we control what we let influence us? Shouldn't our generation be phasing out these insanities? Aren't we more intelligent than they were? So why are we letting the negatives from our past, negatively influence our future.
So before we can stand up, shouting at the top of our lungs, "We need Change!!!". We should first understand what we would like to change. We are animals, but does that justify our tendency to act as such?

FASHION FRIDAY: JEANS OR NOT

 
I know when you first saw that tittle "Jeans or Not", you thought....Hummm "Jeans pants are not in or good to wear". Well, I am not talking about jeans pants but jeans fabric integrated with shirts or outerwear. I don't follow the fashion that is "In" but, I have an eye for fashion that can still work rather the Fashion World might think it is "In or Out". I personally think the jeans fabric integrated with a jacket or shirt will never die out because I can see many uses for it especially during Spring or Fall. During spring, the weather can sometimes be slightly cool/warm. So for example, if the weather is like 68-78 degrees and if you want to keep it nice and casual. Then a light blue jeans shirt with a none monochromatic pants(light brown is my preference) that accommodate the color of the jeans shirt with some nice shoes( casual shoes like sebagos or low tops converse). So that is all for now till next friday. If you have some ideas on fashion that you might want to run by me, let me know.

MOVIE THURSDAY: THE GREAT GATSBY

 

A lot of people I know keep talking about this movie. I was at work one day  talking to my coworkers during one of our down times. And as you don't already know yet, we are talkers. So one of the topics we was talking about was this movie, The Great Gatsby. I never read the book or was interested in watching the movie. But the more my coworkers and I talked about it and I keep watching the trailers, the more intriguing it got to me and started growing on me. I really don't know why I thought I would not like this move. I mean, come on. This is a movie that Leonardo DiCaprio is acting in. Off the back of your head, I bet you can name 10 movies that he was in and I bet that they are all great movies; right?. So go see THE GREAT GATSBY May 10 and "get lost in the secrets behind Gatsby and be fascinated by what you find".

REAL TALK WEDNESDAY: WOMEN WORTH

So I was on Facebook, and one of my friends posted this small article that talks about women worth. I personally agree. What is your thoughts on this?


SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: "Has society developed the standards for a "woman's worth" without considering how it would affect "man's worth" as well?"...

READ THIS ARTICLE BY JADA PINKETT-SMITH
Jada Pinkett-Smith: “The War on Men Through the Degradation of Woman” - "How is man to recognize his full self, his full power through the eye’s of an incomplete woman? The woman who has been stripped of Goddess recognition and diminished to a big ass and full breast for physical comfort only. The woman who has been silenced so she may forget her spiritual essence because her words stir too much thought outside of the pleasure space. The woman who has been diminished to covering all that rots inside of her with weaves and red bottom shoes.

I am sure the men, who restructured our societies from cultures that honored woman, had no idea of the outcome. They had no idea that eventually, even men would render themselves empty and longing for meaning, depth and connection.

There is a deep sadness when I witness a man that can’t recognize the emptiness he feels when he objectifies himself as a bank and truly believes he can buy love with things and status. It is painful to witness the betrayal when a woman takes him up on that offer.

He doesn’t recognize that the [creation] of a half woman has contributed to his repressed anger and frustration of feeling he is not enough. He then may love no woman or keep many half women as his prize.

He doesn’t recognize that it’s his submersion in the imbalanced warrior culture, where violence is the means of getting respect and power, as the reason he can break the face of the woman who bore him 4 four children.

When woman is lost, so is man. The truth is, woman is the window to a man’s heart and a man’s heart is the gateway to his soul.(This right there is what you call a powerful statement. As a man who already respect women, it really touches you)

Power and control will NEVER out weigh love.

May we all find our way.
 

VIDS SUNDAY: PRINCE ROYCE- ADDICTED

One thing everyone should know about me is that, I am a “BIG FAN” of  Spanish music. And even though I don’t understand enough to have a conversation , just the “MUSIC ITSELF” give me an understanding of what the song is conveying. And one of my favorite songs is Addicted by Prince Royce. I don’t want to sound soft, but this song really touch me. The reason is because one day, I want to be able to say those same words to that special one.
