Another chance

Ten days into the new year & it seems so good, Every new year i always post about the years new ambitions. I started IMAGINE in 2008 & its not 2013. Sitting down & digesting all these years gone by does nothing but bring tears to my eyes. I am nothing but so grateful for everything that has come my way!  a new year is so beautiful to me because its a new beginning. In my 2012 new years post over a year ago i said "To me New years is a symbol of trying hard to make the current year better then the previous one".  I stand by that quote still a year later because 2012 was amazing & 2013 would be even better!, my dream came true when i had the chance to ring in the new year in the middle of times square with a million of my closest friends!, new years eve 2012 was one of the best days of my life & i would never forget that day. My lack of posting on IMAGINE does upset me because i want to continue the beauty of this blog, i want IMAGINE to live on for many years to come, I promise to fight on to keep the beauty of IMAGINE alive!



HAPPY 2013!

Life, you BITCH!

It's August and every month in the year 2012 has presented a new outlook on life, so far we have mourned the deaths of legends and every film that has been released has left me wondering if it has the potential to make it to the Oscars, new collections were born & the world of music has been jumping up and down. The year is not over yet but if 2013 were to arrive early i wouldn't mind, i have the deepest appreciation for every event that has occurred so far in the life of 2012, i believe every year represents its own life. 2012 to me is sorta a life that only lives for 365 days then dies a horrible death as a beautiful crystal ball comes crashing down. I'm not sure where im going with this post but i sorta wanted to let everyone STOP and marinate all of the emotions that 2012 has infected us with so far. The world is moving to fast for us to realize so much has happened since January 1st of 2012. Reflection is very important for the soul, when you have a lost soul you find it when you realize the events that has lead up to this very moment of your life. I feel as if my lack of posting is because i wanted to realize how much a year can change one self, society, and even the universe. Life hits you so hard it takes a moment to get up because the impact has knocked you so hard on the ground you sorta see blurry and then you have to rub your eyes a couple of times to see a clear picture again. I'm guessing what im trying to say is do not let 2012 hit you so hard you won't be able to get right back up.

The king

It's been three years and your memory still lives on. You have inspired me in so many ways and you are so influential to not only pop music but music in general. Many of the superstars we see today are all influenced by the legend that is Michael Jackson! everything that he made was historic and so very beautiful. He was an innovator and even as i type i try to find words to express how amazing he is but there are no words to explain the amount of talent and amount of history he gave the entire world. He will remain in our hearts forever not only as the king of pop but such a beautiful/kind soul.


                                                         Michael Jackson

Today over 100 years ago the largest moving object of its time departures from Southampton in route to New York. On this day 100 years ago at around 12 in the afternoon the titanic was pulled away with 2,200 souls on board. It was and still is today one of the grandest days in history! i am extremely excited to celebrate this historic day and also to celebrate titanic. To celebrate the advance technology that titanic had, the innovation that Titanic was bringing to the world, and the beautiful passengers that were on board. As the Titanic set sail from Southampton there were so many on board in route to a new life, the whole world knew what the Titanic was. And on this date over 100 years ago history was made. It is a bittersweet moment to think of this day because i believe we should celebrate this day only because its quite frankly the birth of a legend, we know what will occur days leading up to this day but on this day there was only happiness in the seas. We should also celebrate the thousands of men that put in all their time and hard work to build Titanic in Belfast. Those men built a beautiful ship and i just wish i had a chance to see it, the ship looked beautiful on this day with hundreds waving from the decks as the dock shined with thousands waving back. Its been 100 years, 100 years of remembering a day that we should all never forget. I will carry my love for Titanic to the grave because its just that important to me. I can't express how i feel inside, It's a feeling i can't explain because the mixture of happiness but also sadness creates a new feeling that i really can't explain. With the whole world knowing of Titanic as the ship that sank let this day be a reminder that Titanic was also the ship that sailed.

100 years!

April 10th, 2012

Forever..

Yesterday i had one of the best experiences in my life, i had the chance to see the film that has changed my life forever, and i will always be thankful for that. Yesterday i finally had the chance to see "Titanic" in the big screen in 3D. Words can never describe the emotions that were running through my body to actually see the film that i have loved forever since i can remember, it was really one of the best days of my life to see a movie once again that has changed me for the better, my love for the actual story of the titanic was born with this film, this film introduced me to the actual story through this film. After the film ended it still did not hit me yet that i experienced something so big like this. Yesterday will always be a day that i would never forget because i had the chance to experience something that has been with me for so many years and would always be until the day i am gone. Titanic is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me and just to be in a room to have a same amount of love for the story is so beautiful and that's one of the reasons why i wanted to watch this film in theaters, i actually felt the love for the film but for the actual story also. And that's what makes titanic to continue to be a phenomenon because it is such a beautiful story that we can all love in our own way.
              Titanic is back on the big screen better then ever and with the 3D technology its not about things popping out on the screen but its about connecting your emotions with the story a little bit more. The 3D technology was amazing! because i really felt like i was with jack and rose as they went down with the Titanic on its final plunge into the ocean. It really felt like i was watch the film for the first time because i began to see some things i have not seen from the hundreds of times i have watched Titanic. Even now im trying to find words to explain how i felt and still feel today but im speechless. No word in the dictionary can explain the feelings that I've experienced and the film began then ended. And i had the chance to experience Titanic with a person who i love which is my best friend. It was amazing watching it with her because Titanic can also relate to friendship. Titanic is about love and sacrifice and knowing you have to live everyday to the fullest. A day of life is a gift. Titanic 3D is amazing and i still won't know when i'll finally realize that my life is complete.


TITANIC MONTH HAS BEGUN.

The children

We do not take action because we can not hear the screams of the women & children affected but i can and i hope you can to, African is a continent with beautiful culture and beautiful people but in place's like the Congo & Darfur the air is filled with war and innocent screams. Civil war, rape & genocide is a common theme in these place's and i think with a little education we can all be a part of putting an end to all of this. I myself am still learning about what is occurring in these place's but i did not think twice in sharing this information when i heard that innocent people are losing their lives in result of ignorance. I want you all to search the internet and learn more about the Congo and the Darfur war, you can check out the websites below to learn more and also learn on how to help. Spreading the news is what is what i am looking for.

The Wa & Jesus show

Last month me & my best friend decided we should make a little youtube show just talking shit and inviting you guys to experience our friendship, I wanted to do this because i really wanted to show me & my best friends comedic sides, In these videos we don't really take ourselves seriously only when we discuss topics that we think affects people in life today. We just really want to make people laugh and i think the main purpose of these videos is really to put a smile on peoples faces, But most importantly i love these episodes because it shows my and my best friends different points of views or similar points of views but in reality we are very much alike. Another reason i really wanted to do this is because i really want to show people out there that there are lot's of good people out there that you can become really close with, people can establish beautiful friendships with other good people if they keep their eyes open and always have faith and you'll find someone you can have fun with and become great friends with and i think the Wanisha & Jesus show is a perfect example.

Black history month, a success?

February is now over & march in my opinion is a time of reflection, the question that is glued in my thoughts is "Was black history month a success?" and i believe it was not. I had a limitless ambition for the amount of post i will publish once black history month came around but i failed to accomplish that goal because of the same routine that some of us will go through, and that's learning about some African Americans who has changed our lives for 29 days then just move on and go back to our normal lives, and some of us didn't even make an attempt. I didn't post as much because i felt like i was giving my readers something that they already learned, and quite frankly it gets tiring, I wanted to give you guys something you can feel and from that feeling you can go on and make a change in not only your lives but in others also. I feel an obligation to keep the memory of events like black history alive to keep the meaning but also the meaning of sacrifice alive. I want to be part of a generation that will fight for what they believe in and also have self awareness because before learning about others you have to learn about yourself. Can't walk down the street and look at a stop light without knowing its history, or you can't dream without knowing that others fought for that privilege of even thinking of being someone in the future. All i ask is for people to research more and from that knowledge to pass it on to others because with that simple act of kindness (Spreading education) we can make this world a much better place. I believe we are taking to many things for granted and we are forgetting the true meaning of history and the future. So please always remember that just because black history month has ended does not mean our desire to learn about rich history needs to end along with the month.


Human history is everyday.

I have been to the mountaintop

Check this out, The last speech Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr gave before his assassination, talking about him would just be something that everyone would do on this black history month, but showing you the words that came out of this amazing man's mouth is really what gives this month such a beautiful meaning, knowing the day after this speech MLK lost his life gives this speech a different tone, listening to it with you're eyes closed or having you're eyes open watching you will not be able to hold back tears because looking at his face while he preaching just gives you're soul a beautiful feeling.  

There really are no words, I'm not gonna explain what everyone in the already knows but i would only share with you the moments frozen in time that showed someone so beautiful, so happy. Someone who changed all our lives with her beautiful voice, This is the Whitney we should always remember.

It's black history month & its time to celebrate the lives of beautiful African Americans who have changed all of our lives. I would like to share with you the beautiful black divas who i love & adore. This is just the some of many who i look up to even as a male. They inspire me because of the their courageous hearts & their ability to change the way we look at music, If you are not aware who some of these women are then please research them.

Hello baby blue

Courtesy of the Carter Family

Yesterday the Carter family released the first ever images of baby blue!,  let me just say the baby looks beautiful & resembles Jay. I am more then excited to witness such a beautiful baby! I respect beyonce & jay for sharing their bundle of joy with all of us, it shows that their love for their fans is very genuine because the first images of the baby were not shown in a glossy magazine that we would have had to pay for but we had the chance the chance to view very private images on the carter family's own tumblr page! you can see the happiness in beyonce & jay's face, Just shows that they are so happy & that makes me very happy because they have worked so hard but also kept a very private relationship, younger beyonce fans should study beyonce's relationship & see that you can date, get married, and have a baby at the right time & still live your dreams. But Now after this lets leave them all alone & let them enjoy their little blue.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY BLUE!

NEW YORK!

Yesterday the giants made history with a back to back win!, Yesterday at super bowl 46 the giants won by only 4 points!. The last quarter of the game was the most intense when in the last remaining minutes it look as if the giants were gonna lost by just two points! In the first quarter the giants were in the lead with nine points but then the second quarter belonged to the patriots when they scored over ten points which placed the patriots in the lead but then in the third quarter the patriots were in the lead by seventeen points and it was all down to the last quarter which had everyone in the edge of their seats but the giants did their job and took new York to victory!

Congrats to the giants for their amazing win


And as for the halftime show...... OH MY GOD. Madonna fucking killed it yesterday!. The queen of pop did such an amazing job yesterday and left me at the edge of my seat!. Some people were trying to take the joy out of the performance by saying she was lip syncing which she was but Madonna is at an older age and all that movement maybe made her out of breath, People forget she's not the same Madonna from her "Like a virgin" days but she still did such an amazing performance. So lets all celebrate!

Happy black history month everyone!, a month filled with beautiful people who changed history for the better. In the year 2012 i do believe the respect that this month deserves is fading away, More and more people are forgetting how important black history month is not only to the African american community but for everyone who is involved in american history and even the history of the world. I say the world because the civil rights movement was a struggle for people in order to see the light. By the time our younger generation (6-13 year olds) grow up to be teenagers the importance of black history month will be lost because the lack of education on these important matters in school and in the household, when the human race forgets about the struggles that others had to experience to get us where we are today we will forget the meaning of life itself, we will forget how interconnected we are and how much we need each other as a human race and how grateful we should be for the ones who came before us that put their own lives on the line for the taste of freedom. I do not believe the message and the meaning of black history month will reach readers soul in only this post so of course IMAGINE blog will celebrate black history month with all of you and will bring back the meaning of human sacrifice for the power of love.

All I've thought about today is a perfect world, what i mean by "perfect" is the balance of good and evil. My main question today is how different would society be today if Martin Luther king was still alive today?. Many believe people will love a little more but i believe it can still be done not matter what because he left such an amazing legacy that should never be forgotten and should always be praised. The world is still being repaired but we should always be grateful for the people who are fighting for a better tomorrow and those are the people who keep Martin Luther kings memory alive and to me its really sad that people see this as any other day when the meaning of this day seems to fade we all need to remember the importance of sacrifice and how beautiful it is, civil rights leaders had their homes blown up, were attacked, and even killed. So YES to me its a pretty big deal and it should be for the entire world because when the power of love and unity is manifested we should all be extremely grateful. Going out there and doing something amazing is what he would have loved, hate is to overrated to lets give love a chance not only to the people who came before us but to the present and to the future.

I hope you all celebrate this day everyday, because there is no holiday for love.

Its like laying on top of the sun in the winter. Life is never what you think it would be but its an addiction we all want but some of us overdose into a dream of unwanted misery. I just lay and star up at the stars to see if the direction they are heading can point me to my destiny, These four walls keep the calm before the storm but the warm breeze dances with the black strands of heaven. The sun its on its period but no pad can stop the flow that will turn us all into angels.

How can i feel?

A new year and a new world, I've been very fascinated with history and how we as a society evolve with the new year. I strongly believe that we as the human race are beginning to reject the subject of feeling (Feeling as in emotion). We close ourselves to the thought of showing emotion to one another unless you are in a relationship with the person. If we dream of a better world we have to start by not having fear in showing "Weakness" by displaying emotion, In our society saying the words "I love you" to someone you love (But are not in a relationship with) makes us feel weird inside and even a little embarrassed or even makes the "Situation" awkward. Its easy to say it because its just words but feeling it inside your soul and then saying it can be a challenge because we as people transformed the words "I love you" to something that is in connection with relationship. But i am here to say that you can say it to anyone! Friends, family, and even pets. Part of the process of becoming a better person is not being afraid of showing the world who you really are....






So start now.

Whats the deal?

Hello everyone!, i'm here to inform you guys on the reason i have not been posting on IMAGINE. Its a new year and you are all expecting more post and i do apologize but i have not felt inspired yet to write and post. I would never want to post something i didn't give my all in, I want to be sure that every post i publish reflects not only who i am but also show my soul. Now i do have rough drafts of post i would like to share with you guys and those will be published soon along with a new design in the blog, so the next time you visit IMAGINE it would have an entirely new design and frequent post. I don't want to lose the love that i have for my blog but i would not want to create a lie and just post so i can just have readers. NO. I want people to read what i really feel not something artificial. But i hope you guys visit because i have a great feeling that this year would be a good one.




Thank you all  

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2012 is here and its time to celebrate!,  Lots of people choose this day to start fresh and reflect on the things that got them to this point in time. To me New years is a symbol of trying hard to make the current year better then the previous one. To me i feel as if the only way to reach the point of success is to live life day by day and if there is a bump on the road just always remember that life would have the biggest bumps but you drive right over those motherfuckers! i hope everyone enjoyed their new year celebration and i want to personally wish you and your family a very happy new year.

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope everyone is have a great day and eating lots of turkey <3


I love you

Blame.

       

The first step to becoming a bigger person is first to stop blaming others and begin to take responsibility for yourself. The world will always find a way to bring us down but what doesn't kill us will make us stronger.

The one that got away

I don't know how many times i can say this but.... I love Katy Perry!. Her new video for her current single "The one that got away" just premiered and i was blown away by the beauty but also the message. I believe in honoring everyone in your life before they are gone. Many people think you can only lose someone because of old age but this video shows that life is a never ending pop- up book. I love what she stands for because the story connects with everyone and shows to never take love for granted because no one in the world will know the day or the hour, this video will make you cry because it makes you sit down and think of the people you love. I love this video so much!.....And By the way Katy looks amazing as an older women!

Enjoy "The one that got away"

It's all about letting go

Letting go of your fears, One of the many things that haunts people are fears! fear of judgement from other people. To maintain a placid mind is to forget about what others think of you and just life free without any fears. What i learned is that in a society like ours nothing will ever be good enough for others. If we change one thing then all there gonna do is find something else to pick on and just bring you down but enough is ENOUGH! I am no super hero who is immune to fear, I do have moments of weakness because i am human! but when i just sit down for a second or two and just think about it i feel better and tell myself "You're a wig slut" then i get up and then my spirit goes back inside my body and i return to my fearless state.


The best thing to do is surround yourself with positive souls because encouragement is such a beneficial tool to reaching the point of not caring about judgement. And also looking at yourself in a mirror and smiling! we tend to forget how beautiful we are and how much power we have to change the world and the humans in it 




FIGHT THE HATE

Unexplained

I've talked about this subject so many times and feel as if my job will never be done, Love is a gift but not something you always have to find with another person (As in relationships). Love can be found in anything as long as you find a connection with it and as long as your heart skips a beat. I believe in love but from what i witness i try to protect the meaning of love as much as i can because some people take advantage of it, and that needs to stop right away. I am still very young so that means i still do not know fully what love is but i do know that love should not be played with like if its some new toy you bought your birthday. As a teenager i see other younger people want love but can't even love themselves! they talk of love with another person so much but can't even communicate with another human being!


First focus on yourself then focus on another life, 


Love is something that everyone is forgetting about, My best friend makes a year with her girlfriend today and i am so happy for them because they are doing something that so many are forgetting about.... And that's shutting the fuck up and loving! so many people are worried about things that do not matter in a relationship and being to focused on it can damage a relationship. What i'm trying to say is that if you want to share your life with someone else please honor it no matter where the love goes as long as you know you did what you had to do. I get so inspired by couples who are faithful, honest and loving and that's why i honor TRUE LOVE. This post is for anyone who is in love, whether you're 106 or 16 years old. But if you can't love someone then don't try until you know the time is right because love is about two people's feelings not just your's, Love will always be unexplained because life itself is the only way to find the true meaning of love, What i mean is that living life would get you closer to the answer. So you will get hurt, you will make mistakes..... But HEY! who doesn't? 

LOVE

I can see the light

This month is a time we honor & prevent. Women who survived this monster are an inspiration to all of us & we will all work hard to prevent the spread. October is Breast cancer awareness month & i want everyone to honor this month because we need to win the battle & its great to know we are so close.


I am so honored to be part of the fight, breast cancer has taken lots of lives & is still affecting millions but with support we can stop the spread. I'm no doctor. I can't cure cancer but i believe the best medicine is love & hope! knowing they have support & people that love them will lifts their spirits & that's what this month should be all about. If you know anyone who has the disease then give them a hug & a kiss because they are the real hero's! & if you lost someone dear to your heart then i'm very sorry & just know your loved one is looking down on you and smiling seeing how beautiful you are.

28 years of age, i thank you for leaving the world such beautiful music that made our hearts melt. This lady changed me for the best and i'm proud to say it because shew did not die in vain. I'm gonna make this short because we all know how amazing Amy winehouse is.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Never forget

This day the world is silent and names are read, Thousands of diverse people from different walks of life are coming together today to read the beautiful names of brave/beautiful people that lost their lives on this day 10 years ago, the list being read today of all the names feels like it never ends and it hurts my heart to know that so many beautiful lives were lost, The amount of people that were lost i knew about but all of their names being read one by one is just surreal. Children go up to the podium, Wives/husband, Brothers/sisters etc and read the names of the lost. When you speak of it there is no feeling but actually thinking about it and just acknowledging it really makes you burst into tears. This is why we fight for peace and love because we should never build another memorial with names of  2,977 victims, Let's let the sun rise with love and no more lives lost because of act of hate.


Some people are starting to forget the meaning of this day and begin to treat this day like any other day but their wrong. This date will never be the same and we need to all remember this day and never forget, Because it was ten years ago people tend to forget the events that happened on this day but the events that occurred on this day ten years ago is worth remembering especially when innocent lives were lost. Now today we should celebrate the lives and not think of the tragedy because it's all about them today.


This day we should never forget

Vertical

I hope you enjoy this because i sure did making it, The message & the images are in my opinion very powerful & convey a positive/artistic cry for peace. When you view this instillation please view it in full screen so you can witness the beauty of the images & then you have your chance to interpret the message & how you feel about it. The meaning & intentions of this video is to activate the humans emotions to have an intimate connection with the art in the poem & also the image, My belief is that art & beauty is the key to a better planet, we need to help ourselves before we help others & one way to do that is to feel good inside to do good in the world.


Please when you watch this connect with it & find a way to have a connection with the images because that's the only way you can have a feeling when you watch this.

Enjoy.
