You Always Remember Your "First's "

   Considering this summer has been full of Firsts for me i feel like this random thought should be immortalized in blog form. Some of these first have been good for me and others have been bad, but Ive come to realize that this is all a part of life... My thought is that your "First's" usually carry a lot of baggage because they emotionally are one sided. Your first Kiss, or the First person you've ever had sex with, you share a deeper connection with them than you will with the others even if you don't understand the

 gravity of it. The problem is that the person on the other side of this equation usually: A. doesn't know its your first time, and B. Don't share the connection you do to this moment. This leads to your first being bittersweet. I know my first kiss was cute and i was only 6 years old... But my first real kiss was awesome and emotional, and i never spoke to that person again its not my fault they moved away. The first person i had sex with i haven't spoken to since, but that might actually be a good thing :) Away I've had some amazing "First's" even if the only mattered to me, and that's the point i think I'm tryin to drag out of this stream of conscience, that you should cherish your first because they shape the person you are and potentially the person you become (they usually influence who your second is). Have "First's" experiences, luvs, kisses, sex... just be careful who they are with.

P.S.
Speaking of first i just found this guy (he's a first for me) so i think you should check him out Real HipHop :) Pete Phill  http://petephilly.com/#/music/movin_on/

Why Radio Sucks ( Think About It )...

                                                                                                                                                          By the time you read this its going to be the 4th or 5th draft because i need to get all my thoughts organized... I was going do do this post after spending 12 hours in a car and going across several states listening to the radio. But no I'm super upset because the VMA's just did the most half ass tribute to Amy Winehouse. And if you didn't know she was one of my favorite artist of all time...
... So I did a run to NYC this weekend to drop off some stuff and i always drive so i was in a car for an extended amount of time. The radio was on constantly. Several of my favorite artist were blasting, a few of which I'm going to give shoot outs too because the world is a better place if more people had there stuff... Kelly Rowland, Adele, Katie Perry , And Lupe Fiasco.  The problem was that other than these people i might have heard 5 more artist. It became an endless cycle of singles from the same artist. Different stations and at times different states. How in the world of probability should this be possible. I luv music I search for it, look for it, and seek it out whenever i get the chance. Soo i have it on good authority that there are more than 10 artist in the world that we should be listen to on the radio. And i know radio is all tied up in sponsorship and funding nowadays but damn, whatever happen to a radio

station playing good music because it was good music... im jus saying... Then Tonight The VMA's came on, i didn't watch the whole thing mostly (though the trend has changed in the last 3 years or soo) because its all about limelight artist not musical artist. Case and Point allowing Lil Wayne's non singing ass to preform How To Love, which to tell you the truth if a real singer would sing over it and just have him rap would be an awesome song. But no he was up on stage struggling through the few bars of the chorus. But they've done a lot of things right like Florence And The Machines performance last year or Adele's stellar performance this year. Not to mention they let Jessie J sing as the house band all night (didn't luv the album, but the girl has an amazing voice/ id pay to see her live). Anyway they come to this Amy Winehouse tribute that clearly was not thought out, stumbled over, and was not fit for the amazing artist she was. Outside of the drama, cameras, and her mistakes. The woman drove record sales that made history and broke records, she created memorable videos, and did some of the best collaborations in her short career in the limelight. Frank, Back To Black, Not to mention the amazing B-sides and Remixes.

Random Fact: I Luv Prince 

Then I think to add insult to injury these MotherF*ckers (this the first time I've cursed on here in awhile) Let Bruno Mars singe Valerie which is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs. And i don't dislike Bruno Mars he does make some good music, in fact he falls into that group of the other ten artist i heard on the radio. But the fact remains he had not business singing an Amy Winehouse song. Worst decision is recent music history second only to BET in their wisdom allowing Trey Songs (another artist that i don't hate) to sing a cover of Purple Rain during a Prince tribute a few years ago... IDK what to do its the nature of the music industry that some people make it and some don't. That amazing artist sit and wait for their chance... people like Voli for example... and other people (I'm not going to name names make it to only burn out because they have no real talent just the ability to make Pop phenomena )...

No worries though there are good people collecting music, example you ask well i always promote good music soo no worries and DCtoBC always have the scope on good music... And I'm going to end with this You Don't Have To Like What I Say But Please Always Listen...

If A Tree Falls

Sooo a week or so ago i went out with a friend of mine, and saw this documentary called If A Tree Falls at one of my favorite movie spots on E Street. The basis of the movie was following a member of the E.L.F. (Earth Liberation Front) who is facing criminal charges for things he did for the group. It was a beautifully done movie because it clearly had an agenda, but it didn't force any its beliefs on you. Two things came up: first the guy who was being charged face being legally labeled as a Terrorist in America, and the second thing was the question of action...
... I think its crazy that we as a society could throw around that word soo easily. His actions even though they cause major damage too private property. Were planned and executed to completely avoid the lost of any life. Actually any actions that the E.L.F. have taken responsibility  for since their creation have never resulted in any lose of life. Personally i think that calling someone an Eco-Terrorist should warrant more. I think its all politics, the news didn't call the directors of "BP" Eco-Terrorist after they allowed the continued use of oil-rig that had failed inspections, and then resulted in the worst nature disaster in American history... Im just saying... Anyway secondly, action. I don't necessarily beleive in the way the E.L.F. goes about proving their point. But i do believe in what they are doing. Not enough powerful, educated people are fighting for the world we live in. People are so concerned about money how can we ever expect for things to change. (that line is paraphrased from one of my fav Rappers Wale ) My point is i know how it feels to see soo much evil and wrong going on in the world and feel like everything your doing is pointless, you have no affect, and that something drastic most be done so that people will listen. Long story short the movie just gave me more motivation to change the world... All I'm Saying Is That I Want A World To Leave To My Kids...

Reality Or Not...

Reality:
Intricate emotion
Like leaves in autumn
Clinging to life
Each knowing in its own brilliant way
They must fall to progress time.

Urges rippling from your core and settling on your words
Like dust on a priceless picture.
Each empty word adding weight to
My seemingly endless armor
Of rose petals and smoke.

I'm starting to edit this, but i feel like this is more and more relevant to my current life...

Updates and Altered Fates....

Sooooo, here is the post i promised... this is just a synopsis of this summer. I had an amazing time in Paris and then went out to Spain and a pretty awesome time there as well. I flew back to the states through thunderstorms and crazy connections. My family has been split up ( by choice ) sister has moved back into the city and ive moved with her... I worked super crazy hours this summer and did almost everything i wanted to do except im still broke, saving money has never been my strong suit....
                                                                             


..... The thing is i still had a blast, but this summer also came with great lost for me things that as loyal blog readers your going to hear a lot about. Mostly in spurts and burst over the next few months. I lost my big brother (biologically he was my older cousin) to a car accident earlier this summer. And then a little while after that i lost my job. Then on an excursion to escape the city, i foolishly fucked one of my best friends and haven't heard from them since... which in the back of my mind leads me to believe that we might never talk again... Then i think the world just to add insult to injury... my super recover system the person i turn to in my time of need dies... Amy Winehouse... Back to Black and Frank was my favorite recover aid... All and all this summer has been super random and unbelievable. Details will come about Paris and the other randomness my life has brought.... I Thought A Little Bit Of Random Was Good For Life???
