A Dash of Life. - HATE.

Some people hate you for a valid reason, you've wronged them somehow. But that person that hates you for no reason at all is a disease! The devil knows that they have a wicked heart and he uses them as a tool to get at you. So at every step of the way that person will hate. Let's say you and  your friends go out and the bill comes to $500, if you pay $20 they'll call you cheap, if you pay $400 they'll say "you are showing off, or call you big shot". No matter what you do they will seek to destroy your soul and make your existence a horrible experience. Once you identify who this person is, you must cut them off from your network immediately! Don't be mad, be glad that God has exposed them for who they really are, the devil was hoping that you remained blind and oblivious to that wolf in sheep's clothing.                                                                                                                         -Bobby Stone-

Name Five Albums that Shaped you & Why?

I stole this idea from Vegas who stole it from China on twitter,its a simple question but I took it and ran with it.Anyway these are my answers:


Put God first in all that you do and he shall see you through. This is by far one of the Best Gospel Albums I've ever heard in my life! Lyrics are everything.These melodies really are from heaven, no lie. Makes you reflect, makes you want to correct some things,makes you grateful. Say what you want to me about Kirk Franklin, but when he wants to get a message across, it gets done.

MAN! All I know is, I was 13 years old and felt like I had been on the biggest, most powerful,soulful, most enlightening emotional roller coaster ever! And I STILL feel that way when I hear this Album.It's as timeless as the artist her self.

After mispronouncing his name several times while reading all his credits on everything Rocafella, I anticipated and fell into this album easily. Not only because every beat was contagious and excitingly atypical, but because this guy was talking about dropping out of college, overcoming adversity (the car crash we never stop hearing about)following his heart, taking chances. He was stepping outside the box and making a home there for himself-I loved it. As corny as it sounds his story always reminds me of just how far being comfortable with yourself can take you.

The talent. The singing. The rapping. The heartache. The love. The regret. The anger. The pain.The experience.Before I even fell in love I knew what it could do to me. Can't say she didn't warn us, right? this album is THE TRUTH.

When the Streets Is Watching movie came out I was listening to this(on the Low cus I wasn't aloud,and way too young for both the movie& album LOL)and I really understood where this guy Jay-Z was coming from, not because we had similar experiences, but because he painted a picture so vivid I felt like a piece of the art work myself.All I did that Summer was make rap tapes for my Walkman from my older brother's CD collection. In doing so, I got open- went back listened to the first one,AGAIN, and became a serious believer what I like to call "The Hov'ery"- when he said "they didn't really appreciate it til the Second one came out" he was talking about me [Hov voice] HA-HA:-/

Fashion Hats Off!

Fun Black History Fashion Fact: Donyale Luna was the first African American model to be featured on the cover of British Vogue magazine. She was also one of only two Black models to be associated with Andy Warhol Studios in the early 70's, although her Career was short lived, she still helped paved the way for other fierce brown skinned girls to come... Hats off to you darling...RIP

Fearless

This is one of My Favorite Quotes,it reminds me to be bold even when I'm a little doubtful- how does it make you feel??
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” –Maryanne Williamson
