purple dreams
got the big boi joint, "got purp vol. II", courtesy of the family visit (thanks dad). besides kryptonite whenever i feel like it and "me, my baby and my cadillac" - a fast favorite, i've found even more gifts in this compilation. two of those gifts are named scar and janelle monae. not only do their two tracks apiece contribute 4 of the hottest songs on the LP, they transport me back and propel me forward. it trips me out to think about seeing/hearing them at house parties and campus performances, and now to witness them in their wonderful success. i cannot wait for their solo projects to drop (mb's my witness, we've been waiting for scar's joint since this ill-ass soiree that is still etched in my mind as one of my (few) quintessential-neosoul-grown&sexy auc experiences). it's such a testament to dreams, and it couldn't have come at a better time - when i'd become so preoccupied with my inaccurate perception of 'real life' that it kept me from doing all the dreaming that i should. i listen to them and i think about their amazing talents and their determination. then i think about all the great dreamer/doers i know: them (scar and janelle), the filmmaker, the stylist, the emcee - and i think to myself, "why not?" especially if we all stay grounded, the world can be full of superstars. ***shout to pam. don't know if you've heard the album yet, but upon first listen something about track 20 reminds me of you. don't quite know what it is.*** amen.

thank you.
that touched me. soooooooooo, i get SO amped off of us and our futures. at the end of the day...its a matter of us just doing it (whatever that may be). God is good! everytime i hear the commercial down here, and hear janelle monae and scar mentioned, dude that AMPS me.
i am sitting here crying, ur words just moved me sis! its crazy cuz i think if i let go of this dream and move on to some new venture...i was blessed to get a glimpse of this realm (styling). and i am really grateful for this alone...ya know...like if i never create another styling concept, something about my short journey this far has been fulfilling. God's listening....to lil ol me. i feel honored, humbled even.
i say it everyday...
regardless of what the outcomes may be, i am THRILLED off of the possibilites.
we are great.
we are talented.
we are focuesd.
we are hard workers, ready 2 learn.
and above all we are anointed!
...its coming....never to trivialize the now....but we will be granted the desires of our heart.
THE UNIVERSE DOES CONSPIRE TO HELP SEE YOUR DREAMS INTO FRUITION..just gotta dream more when we are awake.
