Next Chapter- Eastward-Asia

 Six months, in  a blurr, at times, I still wake up, thinking that I'm still  in Costa Rica, then reality slaps me in the face, as I  hear  people outside , conversating to each other in English, which signifies, time has past, and I have to close that chapter.Now awaits another, with different challenges and new opportunities ahead, which will put my own  negative thoughts to rest, and finally put my vision to the test. As one great thinker once said, to reach your path of success, one most endure the little test, nature puts in front of them, so when time comes, they can whether the storm. As I'm taking the time to spend time with family  and catch up with old friends, I've also realized, I brought back many things with me from Costa Rica,  on a subconscious level. I take more pride in physical fitness, I eat healthier, and I appreciate little things even more, compared to the past. Still, a question lingers in my mind. Did I prove to myself, what I said I was going to do? Process still in motion. My question will be answered,  three months from now. As I am going eastward for a year. One more time to start out in a new surrounding, with a whole new experience and a whole different outlook on life. As I am about to enter another decade, my physical satture and childlike expression, can sometimes give people only a certain side about me,  but within the playfulness and humor, there is a seriousness as well, who wants to do great things and make a difference in the world, through  my stories and experiences, I want to share reveal that side of myself as well, which will imprint my legacy. I say,  Live life to the fullest. Its a balance, which has shape me as a person and my outlook on life , but at the same time, blessed, having the opportunity to do this. As I take these three months to set back and relax, and not focus too much on writing and promote my new children book, "Melvin The Mischievous Mongoose"... Due out by the end of the summer. In this day and age, I realize, with hard work, good ideas, and an open mind, there is no greater gift,  than making a lasting impression only once. One Love y'all... Follow your dreams!!!!

Bin Laden's death- Victory or Conspiracy?

Every media site, television network and newspaper has claimed this day, as one of the biggest victory ever in our history. After 10 years of digging in caves and holes, the United States of America, has captured its prize, and put an end to a ten year man hunt, to one of  the world dangerous man, that was responsible for 9/11.What does this victory signify, and what does this really mean for us, further down the road?  In today's world, reminders of our way of life being endangered, becomes more appearent everyday, but would you trade it in, for your freedom or rights to know the truth? Yesterdays news, comes off as a relief, but at the same time, sad and unsure. What do we really know, media coverage has been saying one thing after the other, but where is the evidence? It puts my theory into questioning about Bin Laden's death. Also he was at his mansion, when they decided to carry the mission, as a intelligence person, wouldnt that be a place of choice that I would look into first, before going to other extremes? We are hearing stories about his death, about how they carried out his body to sea, and  how they carried out the operation, which changes day by day, which is  a little odd for my taste, especially knowing, it comes just ten years before the anniversary of the twin towers collapsing.  For one thing, I want to see the actually body, to put a closure to those innocent lives  that were taken on 9/11. I always felt that the truth lies in knowing, I have the  right to know, as a citizen, to find out the truth, because what is information without support? When it comes to these things, we must  start asking questions, and sort out the information for ourselves, because  all we know, is that he's dead. also other reports having been circulating that he might of been dead years ago, which is  perfect timing, just before the election of 2012, so this could be a ploy by the US government to distract us from their clear objective which is oil, also Obama's approval ratings going up, for the next presidential election, but  I guess we'll  never know. We live in a world, where anybody can say anything, and its believable, especially when it comes to the Media. I am at sadness and anger of what happened ten years ago, for all the lives lost, but at the same time, we can't go beyond ourselves and sink to the levels of our enemies, and celebrate their death, because then, we become a  reflection of them. We live in an age of technology, were we have videos, pictures and communication devices, to find out these information for ourselves. Lets start asking question  and sort out  information. For all we know, our buttons could be pushed, for a clearer objective that we can't see yet. What do you think? Victory or conspiracy?

Tyler Perry is back in Madea's Big Happy Family- Movie Review B+

Tyler Perry's latest film, Madea Big Happy Family, is hilarious  from start to finish. Like many of Tyler's Perry's films. It starts off  slow, but as time passes, it builds suspense, offering you a glimpse into each characters world, and how their worlds intertwine. I found the movie to very emotional, periods where I couldn't stop laughing, and others where it  was really sad. Tyler Perry's formula of emotional outcries and laughter has given him a dynamic, in which most producers don't use today, when it comes to film making. One minutes laughing your tail off, and the other, where you had to pay close attention, and think about the situation at hand, and how it makes you feel like you want to cry. I find Tyler Perry's style be genius, using his own real life experiences, he finds ways to connect each character personality, with humor, anger,  uncertainty and sadness. I find it to be creative, because things that he revealed, stems from his childhood, as he manages to tie it  into his writing and producing, finding ways to paint the audience a visual, of what he went through. I find his style interesting as well, because he somehow manages to advocate that innocent people somehow manages to get hurt in the end.

Earth Day 2011-Favorite Recycled Crafts

Who said the world was a garbage dump? but as the old saying goes? one person junk, is another person invention, not quit the right phrase I'm looking for, but its crazy to think, with a little imgination, what wonders it  can do to a persons mind. This is the idea we want to project to our future generations, so they can find answers, to make the world brighter,  for years to come. Earth day is a time to reflect on the problems of our world, and come up with creative solutions to start a eco-environment campaign, that will start the proactive movement, to allow individuals to tap into the their psyches, and find ways to save our planet. Through education and imagintion, the possibilities are endless. Here are some artist that found  some time to express their ideas, by making a difference through their crafts. Here is a website that I found with some amazing display. http://crafts.slides.kaboose.com/277-favorite-recycled-crafts
