Unthinkable (I'm Ready)



So yesterday I downloaded the new Alicia Keys album, THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM! I have been heavily rotating this one song, "Unthinkable"ft Drake. I find this love song to be so moving and in the moment which I love. The beat, the tone, and her voice is all beautiful! I am not really a routine kind of person, and I can feel the passion in the song about just being real and taking risks when it comes to love, it's not typical.
I can just feel the love in the song and I can definitely relate to it.
It speaks Beauty and Love, Thanks Alicia for blessing my ears today!

Picture

The anxiety is bruising my chest with the hughes
of painting short breath
Because I find it strikingly disturbing that we are taking choice for granted
The minute we stop questioning authority is when we lose our humanity
Don't be afraid to step outside that cardboard box they sold your soul in called assimilation
Remember that you have a voice to yell
not fortune cookies for eyes, there isn't a set destiny here
Do something if you wanna see change
The picture isn't always black and white, So try to see those greys make us special
The fact that we don't know sometimes prove that we have thought
A hung jury proves deliberation
A trap can only produce strategy
And this piece is fruit for thought
Sorry if this seems like a pointless rant
But I'm letting my thoughts walk on broken glass not eggshells

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, IGNORANCE WILL NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY!



TODAY AT MY COLLEGE, THE AWARENESS FOR WORLD AIDS BEGAN WITH A PROGRAM IN HENDRIX THEATER HOSTED BY A PANEL OF INFECTED HIV AND AIDS MEN AND WOMEN OF DIFFERENT AGES. I FOUND THEIR STORIES TO NOT ONLY BE REAL BUT VERY POWERFUL. ALTHOUGH MOST STUDENTS WERE THERE TO GET CREDIT FOR THEIR HEALTH CLASS I WAS THERE TO REALLY LEARN AND TAKE IN WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY , AND I HOPE OTHERS WALKED OUT WITH AT LEAST HALF OF THE EXPERIENCE.

THE YOUNG MEN STOOD OUT TO ME PARTICULARLY NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR YOUNG AGE BUT THEY WERE STRIKINGLY HANDSOME AND ONE WOULD NEVER KNOW. I COMMEND THEM ON THEIR BRAVERY TO STAND IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS AND SAY THEY WERE HIV AND AIDS INFECTED. I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME COURAGE.

SO IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF MY BLOG PLEASE WALK AWAY WITH THIS MESSAGE, GET TESTED AND EDUCATE YOURSELF, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND IGNORANCE WILL NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY, BE SMART AND HELP SPREAD AWARENESS TO YOUR FAMILY AND PEERS ABOUT WORLD AIDS DAY!

Is it Better to Be Mixed Race?



This video is very interesting, It looks at and explores racial differences, implying that there may also be an advantage in being mixed race. I find this to be very controversial, In Hitler's was suggested, blonde hair and blue eyes were superior, and this video suggests that mixed race people may be genetically better off.

Through the interviews there is a constant battle whether or not this is research that should be done, very controversial. There are so many different people in the world, but as the video said, we are still a young species, so the difference is still very small, although evident.

Another thing they mentioned was the different diseases among communities, I personally believe that statistics like these further separate us and make it impossible to look past difference between.
Take a look and comment what you think of this???

"Rated R"



Rihanna,WOW, I truly find this woman to be amazing. From her style to her undeniable talent she took the stage in London and killed it! I love her wardrobe and whole set of the performance. Her new dark side has come out and I think she is so strong and shining through now more than ever through her music. She come come across so many success and it's crazy to think we are about the same age, You go Ri-Ri!
