"Afrocen-clectic"

My photo
Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States
I live, laugh and love through my naturally sensual nature and I’m very open and a lover of all things created (knowing that its a part of a universal circle that is also a part of me). I love the mental, visual and verbal pleasures in life; The physical pleasures I seek are a result of these needs being met. The literature I compose fall into several different genres, ranging from sublime political to pure erotica. I love playing with words, ideas and concepts. I’m an “artistic voyeur” with an aggressively creative eye for surreal, abstract and erotic art. I love the sensuality, design, curves and details of the human anatomy. My art forms speaks from deep inside me. It has allowed me to be reborn into a new being- who’s life is solely to create and enhance the beauty in all things we have forgotten.

The Esoteric Expression Of Eroticism....

Captured Essence


CAPTURED ESSENCE...


HE pulled out his pencil and made me appear on the canvas before him- and in all my ways-
I have never seen such beauty- I am truly amazed at his divine eyes for detail, he so carefully payed attention to while RE-creating --- me.... Far deeper than a mere portrait of who I am, but of all that I ASPIRE to be. A true work of art; a timeless reminder of a world of wonderful experiences that most say will never exist, but only to KNOW it exists in me- and HE caught the image of my idea- and drew it-- LITERALLY....

Every facial feature, every curve and every outline-- I'm in awe of how it all matches so vividly with mine. With my eyes, I've seen some days of nothing but tears, but only to have a life where I will not cry anymore, unless it's tears of joy and happiness. With my mouth, I've spoken things that have done harm- but have learned to only speak of peace, prosperity and how I've been blessed. Wanting to leave an impact on this world with my words- and now, I see that-- HE has "drawn" me into his world of artistic bliss. As if he saw something in me- that at first, I couldn't see, but felt was there all along. A visual, if you will-- for the book cover of my well-written life's story in a world that seems to have gone wrong. Only to leave and journey into a place unparalleled to any- and though many may travel, will never understand it's meaning. HE caught the "picture" - and as the world unravels- he has kept me together, kept me embedded, now I can be "framed" into much more than I intended-- a better life has begun for me- the way I used to be has ended.

Now shines a light in me- that HE had to show me- by "drawing" it in detail so I could see... I'm now indebted to his pencil, his canvas, his heart that was ready to share me with the world around him- I'm honored to have been one of the chosen few- he has taken the time to illuminate-- leaving a piece of him, inside me-- that will surely allow to shine through! True evidence that love, expression and passion exist through the use of our own creative minds- and not just by luck- but because it's destined too...

People Say - Venting....



People say that I'm in my own little world- not in tune with what's really going on in the world today. In fact- I say that the level I'm on will not permit me to acknowledge such meaningless acts- instead make ways to better build the world I'm already a resident of- one not as lifeless as this one- filled with bleeding hearts that beat for the dead. Even if I don't live to see this fulfilled- I will still give my life, efforts and skills to have this world known. I will walk in constant contrasting styles and colors to have my heritage shown- I will enlighten those who are blinded by excuses and falsified teachings- my plan is to do this til I'm buried- and from my grave- to still be reaching out to those seeking an alternative to the spiritual draining that society is leeching.


People say that I'm too rough around the edges- not a social butterfly. I can only say that until they have flown on the wings of an eagle to the highest points in the sky- this concept seems about right to the average human eye. Everyone won't see what I see- most can't grasp my concepts- and for this reason and its responses, I'm prepared to accept. When you have decided to use your Kingdoms to build a platform around those who are inept- you have to be the one standing firm- even when you are left standing by yourself.

People say I'm emotionless- not seeing the passion in my eyes- this smug grin on my face is just a disguise to hide the pain of being misunderstood, I feel inside. I have a lot to protect- and what I'm protecting demands my respect- so I can't allow anyone to harm the gifts I have been given. This is what defines me- it makes me who I am, and by this hidden passion I will stand- whether anyone else wants to show what they can do with their hearts- I have to do it with both my heart and my hands. I will do this over and over- til my physical presence has ceased to exist and is again, transformed into sand.

People say so many things- so much is poisoned by opinionated- over liberated individuals who use their souls to keep confusion on a earth that is cursed to repeat a past history of destructive acts that will destroy man-kind unless those who are awake- WAKE UP- no more pressing the snooze button- our world has been over-indulging in bullshit that has created a majority or mindless, polluted, moral-less gluttons. The alarms are ringing for the rise of a new world to surface and show its face-- people say this "better place" doesn't exist- it just won't be discovered by the "average" human race...

Sensual Visions Of A King

Glancing across the almost dark room of weakened candles about to flicker one last time- I'm caught in a trance to see a male silhouette of pure sensual energy as he floated towards the table lamp to turn on the lite- I only wish that I had enough time to enjoy the visual display of royal perfection he presented to me, unintentionally. He paused and looked my way, as if hearing my thoughts- giving me more time to watch him in all his manly glory. I gazed on with a lusty licking of my lips and eyes that adored his mature outline. He is a man in everyway- his stature and stance being a direct reflection of his intelligence and grace.

As the candles slowly burned out- he began to light up the darkness as he transformed in front me from what seemed at first to be a mere silhoutte of a man to an almost blinding force of energy. Beginning to glow like the shooting stars as they dance across the night sky. He is a star in my eyes- at this time, seeming too far to reach- only to be wished upon. I find myself in a warped world- only wanting to experience his purified soul- touch his perfect body- kiss his sacred spots and taste the genuine flavor of ecstasy we would create together. I would even settle for sampling his flavor alone- without the additive of mine-- so sweet, so thirst quenching and invigorating.

He's not like me in any way- but just like me in every way- follow me when I say this. He's a powerfully fervent entity that most women would only dream of having in their close proximity- and finally my dream of being in such a man's presence has come true. I will take the time to admire him- enjoy his company and share my love for the world with him- as he shares his love for all that makes it beautiful with me- creating our own U-N-I-Verse.

We have become the Father and Mother- the Sun and the Moon and all elements that breed new life in our own world. He's my guardian angel sent to encourage me to express my heart's contents- caressing my injured wings, soothing away the hurt and pain.

From his nude outline I saw wings sprout as he took flight- grabbing me by the hand, telling me to come along with him because I held a special gift, a perfect gift and it was time to share it with the world that we currently knew. Such an immaculate creation can't be held by someone of my level of flaws and scars of love gone wrong and time wasted on assumptions and misguided beliefs- or can he be just what is needed to complete this circle that will transform me into what I need to be?

Can he be heaven sent? Sent here to show me how to fly again- how to feel passion and to look past all of life's roadblocks to find a place designed for he and I to build a fortress of phenomenal strength and power. He being King of our castle and me being the Queen. He is clearly my better half- a part of me that I longed for in my past lives, he was written as fantasies in my past poetic scribes- finding his way to me in this lifetime- setting my old soul free- bringing it youthfulness and joy. In his eyes I see my safe haven and a more peaceful way to live.

Now, from watching my male counterpart from across the room as he seems to float in front of me, causes my heart to quicken in pace- with everything else slowing down almost coming to a complete stop. He is more than just a man- he is living proof that finding true love in a great man is not a myth- but a real and wonderful discovery. The Creator has given him the highest position in the heavens and sent him here to show me the ways of love- the way its meant to be between the union of male and female. He controls time and space- he controls love and lust- he takes control of my deepest desires and provides my every need... Effortlessly...

He's my blessing I have been cursed to enjoy for the rest of my life. His earthly parents should be proud to see the end results of their hard work and love. The Most High gave them the instructions they needed to help build him. He was hand-picked piece by piece and designed from my detailed prayers and meditations of wanting to feel love in its purest form.

He is my soul mate and team captain- my protector, my provider, my window of hope, my mirror that only reflects the happiness we share- he has taught me to accept the TRUE meaning of love and what it feels like to have it the way that The Creator designed it to be- designed US to be. I will be governing over a new nation, building a new foundation to show the world the power of two becoming one- mind body and soul...

I will reign for eternity as Queen and he will be my angel, my heaven sent, my loyal companion, my warrior, my beacon of light when I'm lost- and he will reign as King...

What you have DOES matter.... But is it of any REAL value?

It's official: It is what you have that matters!!!

I MAY NOT HAVE:
A car, a husband or boyfriend, what some people may consider "a real job", a "professional" way of doing things, a whole lot of friends, and upscale neighborhood, a clean yard (lol), the latest fashions, money hanging out of my ass- and a laced out house....

BUT I DO HAVE:
My own home to build and grow with my family in; 5 (FIVE) beautiful children to whom I adore with all my heart and they return the same love to me daily; faith that everything I'm blessed with the talents for doing will pay off due to my hard work and dedication; a rugged way about myself that most won't EVER understand; No drama or worries due to too many people being in and out of my personal circle; A place to work on and people to work with- where I know I'm being a blessing; People to help and the ability to be a voice for those who are ignored and most are ashamed of; A heart, determination, a willingness to learn, faith, compassion, ambition, ASPIRATION, talent, a thirst for knowledge, love for the HUMAN race, a chance to make a difference each and everyday and despite what is being said- DIGNITY....

So, what you have really does matter!!! It's just your choice to decide what's the most valuable... "THINGS DON'T MAKE ME WHO I AM-- IT'S WHAT I DO WITH MYSELF WITH THOSE THINGS IN MY POSSESSION THAT MAKE ME "REAL" OR "FAKE" - Don't get sold on what you see in the current- it may be a set up for something that in the future, you'd wish you had taken the time to be a part of.....

Watch for the next blog entry to get the whole story...

Reflection... Rediscovery... Release....

February 25th, 2009 - a little after 9pm in a heavy downpour of rain, my life was changed drastically. The passenger side of my friend's car was hit while on our way to one of our open mic events-- I was the passenger. Since then, I've been going thru several types of therapy that will help correct the injuries I've sustained. I've found myself, at times not wanting to talk about it or mention what has happened to me, as well as what I'm dealing with while on my way to recovery. I still press forward- despite my wants to give in and give up. I'm determined to move onward and upward to each level, no matter the circumstances, until I reach my goals.

I sit DAILY and reflect on what happened and what could have happened that night, and I know that there is a purpose for me, not just because my life was spared-- BUT because I AM DETERMINED TO DO GREAT THINGS THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD-- NOT JUST MY SMALL CIRCLE OR COMMUNITY. I have learned to give my time and energy to being an asset to SOLUTIONS that will change not just my situation, but will more than benefit the people around me. I have decided to take my life with each passing day as a chance to be a blessing to someone in someway- no matter how big or small. I owe it to myself, I owe it my children and above all-- I owe it to the world.

No one really knows how I feel in depth- because I when I start to come out about my feelings, I back off and find myself in deep thought. This reason was because I was trying to determine how I really feel about what has happened. Since the accident, people have came in and out of my life, both good and bad- to either teach me a lesson or added to my journey to blessings-- but to me, it's all the same. GOOD OR BAD- there was something learned and from now on, there will be a implementation of that lesson learned for the rest of my life. I have had a lot of friends when I had it ALL going for EVERYONE and I had no one to even talk to when I had NOTHING going for MYSELF- so yeah, there were a lot of nights, aside from the nightmares and night sweats-- that I cried myself to sleep-- wanting someone to just "listen to my silent cry." I found myself having to answer to that cry. I was the only one who truly knew what it was about and could cater to my own needs if I just stood up...

As an answer to that cry, I pay tribute to what has happened to me- because of it I am stronger and I appreciate the life that I have been given-- the chance I have to make a difference- and I'm more than ready to do this, even if I have to stand alone. I'm still in recovery-- and I'm using this time to redevelop and heal, not just from the impact of the car, but from the impact this has had on my life- I could have lost mine-- and at anytime-- this event can take place. My only meditative prayer is to not be taken away before I have done my part to make a difference-- and each time my eyes open to a new day, I will put forth the effort to make that difference. The joy I now seek is in the strength I have to DO things that will be bring forth CHANGE FOR A STRONGER TOMORROW...This is my release--- my therapy-- my day of thanksgiving-- because I woke up and was able to stand, able to talk, able to walk, able to see, feel and BREATHE-- and I would go thru everything all over again because of what it has instilled in me. Some say tragedy-- I say tribulation. It's an honor to be alive - and I'm extending my heartfelt gratitude...

Uniquely Undefined.... By Kanday Reign



I am me no matter what it may seem like to you.
my opposites make me who I am and dictate what I do.
I am the only one like me,
but my style can be compared to many.
my attitude is positive but at times,
I can get grime and gritty.
a social butterfly, with an anti-social look on my face,
big bully, proud when I walk thru,
but have respect for others' space.
very straight forward, and laid back in my style,
not afraid to speak my mind.
quiet at times, but out spoken,
uptight, with a drop of dime unwind.
Tomboy by nature,
I'm more than a woman with a feminine touch,
Love to eat food- cooking is my thing!
But, can't stand to eat too much.
not a liar,
but sly and conniving
when it comes to plotting on conspiracies plotted against me
confined to my lifestyle,
don't like change much,
but find myself wanting to be free.
loose cannon that loves to be in control, never one to disrespect.
one who has the nastiest mouth
when I need to put you in check.
hot headed, cool tempered, stagnated go-getter,
willing to give up some things, but never a quitter.
one that doesn't cry much but when I do, I cry rivers.
tough cookie with a soft heart,
always been able to tell what the end looks like from the start.
my future is mapped out from me knowing my past,
and this once thought "loser" will succeed.
losing the bullshit that keeps me losing,
gaining the winning things I need.
natural fad and phase rebel,
writer of my life and death, and a daily dream chaser.
I can not be categorized,
love and hate being organized
rule breaker who plays by the book that was designed
to destruct my construction of the future I desire.
mentally challenged intelligent achiever,
flame blower with allot of fire.
As I stand here, before you all....
I have grown to become what you see...
still growing, and enjoy knowing
that I am a uniquely undefined.... ME...

It's time to just do it... Rambling

I have been searching through myself, my lifestyle, and my motives behind the things that I do. Honestly, there have been so many things about me that have changed dramatically, only igniting that fire in me to continue to move forward in the development of who I am in the process of becoming the final vision that I see in the near future. One thing that I have noticed about me is that since the start of this journey- I found myself no longer comfortable with what I was taught to believe, think or even be, and as long as I don't pursue a greater cause- I will only live with this self loathing, wondering what I would have turned out to be if I followed my heart and it's beating need to be inside a person who is truly living.

I'm embracing a new me, a new way of looking at life and what I attract to me. It's not easy, because I find myself wanting to go with my initial human instinct- but I've realized that I can not punk out and go that route. I'd rather be out of the comfort zone of who I was in order to become what I know I need to be. How many people do you know who are willing to give this in life? I'm ready to live for the development of others- knowing that by giving a mere portion of me will continue to live on in the through that contribution. That means more to me than anything I could possibly accomplish alone or just worrying about myself and my children. I have learned to see a bigger picture, and place my pieces where they fit in order to encourage others to place their pieces down as well- with full knowledge that WE are who makes us stronger- not just me alone. I'm strong, I know this, but with support and a positive common ground being our initial drive- EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE... My life is no longer a strife for me- but a constant assisting in the development of providing and implementing ways to change the world. My fight is not against anything- but for an alternative way to view, create and encourage others to choose that way instead of fighting against what they are giving power to!

I'm not comfortable with my level of knowledge, because I know that I can learn so much more that will help me in my journey and be beneficial to both myself and those who I've been blessed to have around me. I'm not comfortable with what I do for my community, because I know that I can be a stronger asset and blessing to those who are directly and indirectly involved in bettering the world we live in. I'm not satisfied with my health- because I'm still fighting against myself with foods I know I'm not supposed to ingest, and others who have issues with my choice in eating healthier and choices to continue to change how I nourish my body. I'm constantly questioned as to how I believe- or if I'm a certain religion, and frankly it makes me sick. I don't ever want to be constricted by the thoughts of others because of my views being different from theirs.

I'm getting tired of a person needing you, and you helping them, and as long at you're helping them, they are fine- but in all actuality, if it were anything else involved- because of your beliefs being different from theirs- they would have a major problem with even talking to you. Even worse, people who won't allow you to be of assistance to them because of you and them having different personal views. I was told "It doesn't matter who does it, if there is a problem or issue that needs to be resolved, as long as it's done right, who created the problem doesn't even matter- as long as the people who are willing to resolve it work together."

That came from my Mother & Father-"If you see something that needs to be done, and you can do it right- then just do it..." It's not like that now- everyone is to blame for the shortcomings of someone else. I'm not settled in my spirit with that being a primary reason for me doing something or not. Please believe, if I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it with all that I've go, and will always make it my business to learn what I need to learn to do it correctly. The knowledge I seek is beyond me, beyond what people see or even what I see sometimes myself, but so far I'm ready to take on the challenge that has been set before me.

My mind is worn out with alot of things- but one thing that I'm fully aware of: I AM THE STARTER & FINISHER OF MY OWN DESTINY BEING FULFILLED! Whether long term goals being worked on with diligence or short term trials being successfully conquered- it's my choice either to allow someone hinder that or even more importantly and extremely more detrimental, me allowing myself to continue to not have enough faith in myself and the power that I have over my own life to make the best of it. I have never been a person to run away from a fight or challenge- and so, I'm going to use that same characteristic when it comes to this. My future is filled with good things- and I know what has to be done to gain a permanent place in this world. I can change alot, just through me and I only want to work with others who are willing, ready and able to get off their asses and help make a difference. We are tired of people stating the problems but not coming up with resolutions. I have came to far now to sit down on my desiny-- I'm just going to do it.....

Like...

300 magnify
We are-- whole; to sit and watch our love unfold,

Was like-- like a dream.

I was never able to touch it before,

But, now it seems, that every time I look at you -

I can see-- US

Never me being alone again.

Still trying to find the words from deep within'--

To make sense of this "rude" awakenin'.

See, with you, it's like-- like LOVE.

Not first love, but loving all over again.

Like when you're wise enough not to make those mistakes

That left you alone in the first place.

Like just sitting there next to you

Pretending to watch a movie

But finding myself daydreaming and starring in your face!

Like being turned on by a simple smile, or touch,

Leaving me stranded with my constant thoughts of lust!

See, when we are around each other, it's hard to describe,

Something sorta like, in our past lives,

We were from the same tribe.

Like I was created and raised to be compatible with you,

Like The Most High and our Parents already knew.

Just being in your presence makes me happy,

Even though you may not think so,

I'm in love with US, and can't wait to know

How far this US -thing will go

I'm willing to take the time it takes to see what shows

As long as I have your sunshine

that gives US the strength to grow.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself...



I am poetry...

From the way you approached me,

to the lyrics I envoked to thee.

The way I mentally stroke your mentality..

I am poetry....

From the way I lick my lips,

to that stare into your eyes;

When I bring forth words, so discriptive,

you can almost visualize.

You want to touch, what I say,

and do what I instruct.

Most want to feel the vibe,

but they have no such luck...

Not with me...

I am poetry...

From the caramel color of my skin,

to my natural glow that shines from deep within.

I am the next best thing, to a lustful sin,

I am poetry...

From the way my rear fits in my jeans;

to the sway, you watch, with pa$$ionate gleems,

glares, and stares, reach out and touch me...

For I am poetry..

My style is different from others.

I'm your sister, brother, father and mother.

I am everyone in your family tree...

I am poetry...

From the song that birds sing,

with the rise and set of the sun,

to the whips of the wind, before a storm comes,

I am every river, every ocean, every sea,

I am poetry...

Now that

I have introduced myself,

to everyone, from right to left..

The offer's extended to come with me...

Into my world of Poetry...

The Proverbs Challenge......

Ready To Take The Proverbs Challenge?

There is a law that governs over your entire life- Whether you love it, or hate it, whether you choose to ignore it or not; It STILL exists and WILL govern your over life.... Learn the laws and how to accomplish immeasurable balance in your life, health and strength... Power is within every one's reach- just extend your hand....

How strong is your faith walk? Does it matter your religion, or does it matter you actual belief in all aspects of life and it's teachings? Well, I have had this book for almost a year now, began to read it, but got side-tracked. Accident? Nothing ever IS! Everything happens for a reason and at the precise time. Join me as I re-take a look inside the teachings and the revelations of the youngest and most prosperous man is recorded to have ever walked the face of the earth- King Solomon- who became king at just age 12!

This book, accompanied by the book of Proverbs, found in the Bible, has been for years said to hold the keys to success, wealth and happiness in all aspects of life.

Join the few but very famous successors of these teachings- to name a few: Oprah Winfrey, Helen Keller, Steven Spielberg, Bill Gates, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison and even Adolf Hitler. These people have made an everlasting impact on the world as we know it, in one form or another; BUT just as I teach others so many times- "If another body can achieve success- no matter what it is-- YOURS CAN TOO!"

I will be taking you through each of the book's 16 chapters revealing my findings and telling all- I encourage those that seek a change to not give up or give in- find new ways to bring about the positive change you seek in your life. GOOD IS GOOD- WHO CAN ARGUE WITH THAT?

NEW


New...

I've never stopped smiling yet,
You are a joy to know and a beauty to behold-
To see the possibilities for you and me unfold- and manifest-
Into something stronger than all the rest, better than anyone-
To me, you are the one-
I can feel my heart learning how to beat your name-
In hopes that yours is attempting to do the same....
While we take the time to memorize each other-
We realize that there is no other- we were meant-
We are in the right place-
Because as long as I have a smile on my face
I'm where I want and need to be-
And even in sad times- you're able to make me see-
That things aren't as bad as I see them to be..
You are an Angel- a King eternally-
A true gift that I want to keep close to me-
For as long as I live-
To love, to cherish, to build with-
Never taking more than I need-
But to you - my all I'd give.....

Before You Ruin Some One's Life- Get One Of Your Own!

Before You Ruin Some One's Life--- Get One Of Your Own!

Emotional Awareness By Kanday Reign

I have been chatting and talking to alot of my online family, friends and associates lately. Since I'm single, and I don't date much, BY CHOICE- I have time to play catch-up in every one's lives. In the process of doing so, I may have forgotten about me getting a life. (Smiles) -BUT- Life as we know it, is just that LIFE; Many of us have forgotten about ourselves, or forgotten how to attract others who are of a unique quality in our lives to make the journey we must all take more pleasing.

A prior phone conversation I had late November, really gave me a headache. It set a prime example of how things are when it comes to moving on with your life after a bad relationship has occurred. From a human's prospective- "Bad things happen to good people." In reality, that same quote has ruined the lives of many, cause they actually believe that crap! Some people don't even know they have issues themselves cause they spend most of their time blaming someone else for their bad turns in life. WE are the cause of ALL activity in our lives through our thoughts, actions and decisions. Many actually take the time to blame others, when there is no one around to... The other person has moved the hell on! We find it hard to grasp life and it's truths, due to false teachings making them feel powerless and similar to mindless puppets- and most won't own up to the outcomes they have had in their lives because of it. The wake-up call has to be made- and people have to answer that call ready to realize what's happening to them- because of them..... YOU are in control of YOU.....

"No matter how you slice it-- it's still always going to be cheese. Melting it or adding other ingredients doesn't change what it basically is either!" We have to see ourselves in a way that no one else does, or even can for that matter, so that whatever they try to do- to us, for us, or against us- we will remain for the most part, ourselves regardless of the outcome. Some things are hard to understand, and even harder to stand on because of the mystery that is being put behind it- and alot of people just don't get it- and half the time, there is no real mystery- just a simple opening or your eyes. The majority won't get it anyway.... It's not meant to be that way. So, alot of you- I don't expect to understand what I'm talking about.... Sorry....

I admit, I've just been hurt from a previous relationship and recently, I've been betrayed by someone I thought was going to be a very good friend for a very long time. I set myself up for these situations to take place. At first, no one wants to believe that what they think and the signs they get while involved in ANY situation determines it's outcome- but this is a truth I had to accept. I cried alot because of what I've been through- and at first I was afraid of telling the wrong person and of facing the fact that they may view me as being weak, and try to use me in my vulnerable state. Now, it doesn't matter, cause I have came to terms with the situations that have taken place in my life and I don't mind sharing it, and I have actually gained strength from taking the time to trust myself and examine myself and what I have done, could have done, or did not do to make the situation work in my favor. One thing that is for certain- I was pissed!!! Still find myself feeling bitter about some things- but I can only look forward and find ways in my life to make changes that will permit a better future and greater experiences.

Talking to others have helped me- cause it has actually made me examine alot of issues that I haven't went through and gave me more to think and thank about before posting this article.I've listen to their stories of love for that person they thought was special- and of how true these people were to the other person who has hurt them- feeling that they gave them the world- neglecting themselves at some points to prove to this person that they love them and want them in their lives. I can relate to some of this emotion more than 100%. Not going to get into detail- but getting back to the point. At no point do I hear people say they saw a sign, or had a funny feeling towards the person that did them wrong. Some just all out say that the person was totally at fault- I beg the differ.

The Creator took his time to create something great when he created the human being. We possess unknown, unseen and unexplained phenomenas about our whole existence that puts us on an elevated plain so to speak. There is nothing that can or will go on in our lives, without a fore-warning about it. This goes against the way we were designed. We always see "unexpected" things occur in life- but in all actuality- nothing is unexpected- we get certain signals and feelings about things that are about to occur in our lives all the time. Most don't look- and if they tried- still couldn't see because they are so willing to give everything they do or don't do an excuse, and end up pursuing something that is a waste of time and energy.

The simplest example: Have you ever went to a building, and you had a strange feeling- maybe you just felt you had to go somewhere else first- and then come back- your hairs raised up- you kept dropping stuff on your way in-- anything that would have made you feel like it just wasn't your day. You shrug is off. It's cool outside, or you're at the door already and don't want to turn around. "The devil is a liar." You know - whatever slogan people use now-a-days. Say it's to pay a bill, or turn in some paperwork. So you go in, get in a long line- more than 20 minutes to wait, but you're destined to wait it out cause you don't want to wait in an even longer line trying to go somewhere else first and then circling back. You are the 4Th person in line now to see a service rep, and you go to your purse or storage case and you realize that you left the papers you needed in the car, on the backseat with the papers you had to take to the place you were feeling you should have went to first.

Let's play it back from a relationship with a person-- You like everything about this person, they are just what you've always wanted and needed- EXCEPT.... Who knows what that exception is, but it's your problem with this person. For some reason when you are together at first, it seems beautiful and you feel it was meant to be, until they do or say something that makes your hairs stand up, or your mind starts to wonder things. Right there, the gap has been established. Do most of us stop? NO. Do we examine our own faults to see where we really stand in our own lives? NO. We take it as us just being picky, or "Oh, they will change it once they know I don't' like it." Or my favorite " I thought they wouldn't do it again." If you are running up a staircase and you slip from moving too fast and not watching your steps- you will surely fall damn near, all the way back down- things will fall right before you the same way in a relationship. When this is your life, that staircase should be traveled with the utmost of care and observation so that you don't miss the steps that may take you upward and not cause you to fall.

Sometimes we put ourselves in harmful situations that will in the end, hurt us indefinitely due us "thinking" that we are a good person that others will notice it and respect our wishes. This is an idiot move. Examine yourself- look at the situation you are about to get into. How does the person you are trying to get to see "that they have a good thing" acts about everything else in life. Not with you- but with things they claim to love, or really are into. Look at how they treat themselves and people they have had in their lives before you as well- and make judgement. You have a right to. If a person does not have things about them that you can accept and still be able grow and develop with this individual you are so wanting in your life- chances are those things will grow into other issues, bigger problems and ruin the whole relationship. Acceptance is the key- and if you can't do this from the beginning or you get a funny emotion going when things happen- you need not waste yours or the other person's time. You have to examine yourself as well, and your needs and wants in your life at the time-this is major because you may need something that you over looked and this person has no clue as to how to go about providing it.

We tend to look at what the person does for us only- and make our decision. Maybe they do things that make us feel superior, or important. Question is: What else is important to this person? Next Question: What is important to me? Third Question: Are we just being this way because of our feelings for each other, or are we being this type of person with and in all aspects of our lives?

YOU CANNOT allow another person to give you value- you should already be worth something when they come along. The best thing is to have something to offer yourself- find love and trust in yourself and then maybe a hobby. Loving of a person is tricky, cause if you don't have a burning passion and love for something else before you fall for a person- you won't be able to understand and respect the unconditional factors that exist. You won't know what it feels like to build something and watch it manifest into something even greater but the works of your hands. You'll be expecting the person to adapt to your liking, when the person was not even meant for you in the first place. We can have what we want out of life and love- we just have to ask ourselves the right questions- it starts with us, and guess what? It ends with us too.

Consider It Done-- Cause I'm The Only One!

I am a multiracial bombshell- zodiac is the lioness- China's fiery dragon--- 30's new 20's-- and when I'm at my worst, I always end up being the best. Curvaceous, creative, dominate, American native, with a strong sense of self and sensuality. Now, I don't think that I'm the best damn thing walkin' - fuck it! I do, but you can't get mad at me. I have given my time, effort and talents to many, and now, it's time to get some of it back-- I'm not just saying this cause I'm bitter- and as a matter of fact-- I'm good! If you only knew me-- you would see and say the same thing. Just think of all the joy, just knowing me could bring. My aggressiveness stems from my need to break through barriers most dare to even come close to-- and alot of people would walk away from their destiny- and most do... But, that's not me, and will never be, cause you see- embedded in me are kingdoms- talents, experiences and an undying love for life altogether-- and I'm more than powerful enough to withstand and take command ANY kind of weather. I've been there, done that, died inside, and was brought back- but above and beyond it all-- I'm still here. So, now what? Well, let me make myself clear.... I am more than sure of myself- more than just the woman you see- I consider myself more than just flesh and bone- I'm a conqueror- I AM ROYALTY. I have created beautiful things, and have I innocent lives that count on me- so I have to be the best damn me-- that I can be! I'm not just a lover- I'm a fighter. I'm an artist, and a writer. I design from within'- bringing out what has been- trapped away lying dormant- and now, I won't hold back any longer. And, they say that what doesn't kill you-- only makes you stronger! Well, that's not all, I aim to last way past others -- cause I'm true to myself- in the end when I look in the mirror-- there is nobody else! Have I been honest with me- have I given in to someone else's wants that has left me paralyzed and loving myself less than more? That shit ain't happening again- so you can call me selfish and say that this approach is uncalled for. Call me arrogant, call me a bitch, call me a problem- well, that part's evident. Cause I am prepared to do me at whatever the cost- too much time in my life has been lost! I'm in control- can't blame anyone else for my short comings and bad decisions but me... So, this time around--- I'm standing my ground-- getting it right the FIRST time-- and I WILL FULFILL MY DESTINY....

The Learning Curve :: The Interviewing Of Hashim Conner...

Mr. Hashim Conner...

I have not smiled so much during an interview of anyone until I had a chance to interview the talented author, Hashim Conner. He is a softly spoken, humorous and hansom individual hailing from Detroit Michigan, currently residing in the Metro Atlanta area as of the summer of this year. What I've learned about Mr. Conner is that everyone isn't going to see the same dream that you see for yourself, and that through hard work, patience and perseverance, any and all things are possible.

We conducted a phone interview the night of November the 5th, around 9:30 p.m. via phone conference, where I got up close and personal with Hashim and asked him about his former and current published books; his future in the world of writing and much more. Enjoy the results of the interview as I enjoyed the wonderful responses I received from such great writer.

Hashim is far from your normal writer of ordinary literature- he is more along the lines of a "master piece in the making," or so- I'd say. His second book The Learning Curve was put on the shelves earlier this year and has sold more than 100 copies in a couple of months, paving the way for a larger fan base of readers who will continue this journey with him on his way to greatness.

His love for writing is what primarily gave him the will to become a writer. He has been doing so since high school and with his interest in Language Arts throughout those years, he was ready to embark on a journey which will bring him to where he is today. Contributing to his curiosity for writing was reading a few urban literature books by Zane and a few others here and there. He reflected on how things were when he first started, recalling an event involving his first book published in 2006 entitled Karma. "It was more of a bet that I couldn't write a book. I didn't grow up around people who wanted to be authors, we were into sports mostly; so I kept the fact that I could write to myself." After hearing this, it just shows and proves that he has always been in the creation phase, without anyone else knowing of his intentions to become a superb writer.

When asked who his influences were as far as other writers, he was prompt to speak the names of Zane and Omar Tyrie, among others. His inspiration to writer was contributed to various teachers he had in grade school, while in Detroit. To name a few, Mrs. Weiner of Mumford High, in Detroit, Mrs. Seabron, and his creative writing teacher Ms. Fletcher. His words were that they really gave him the drive to write through their teachings. If he had to have a mentor, Hashim picked Zane, for her ability to create a vision through writing that the readers can see as they are placed in different parts of the book. This is something that he admired the most, and is continuing to put into practice in his own world of writing. Mentioned also were music artists Jay Z, Jill Scott, T.I. Raheem DeVaughn, and Young Geezy as motivation from an audio side of him creating The Learning Curve. They too appear to possess an ability to tell stories and they helped him create his.

Among his unique book collection is his first self-published piece entitled Karma. The cover was done by him as well and inspired by an art piece that caught his eye. This book was the introduction to the Christopher Alexander book series that is currently being constructed by Hashim. This book being written, made Hashim realize that his style in writing was unorthodox and definitely a style of his own. "I am a mood writer. I don't write chapter for chapter, I just write what I feel and put it where I think it should be in the book." When asked about the title of Karma and what inspired him to use it in particular, he said, "Usually I name the book first, then I write around it, but Karma took longer to come up with because I had to write before the title came. My second book "The Learning Curve," was much easier because of me being inspired by my first book. It's like I knew exactly what I wanted to name the second book, while writing the first."

Karma:

“Karma” it’s all around us affecting our everyday lives, we’re absorbed by it. It’s as real as the air we breathe, and the love we share. Just like the love we feel and the air we breathe it’s going on without being seen. No one is more affected by this than Christopher. After years of sexual escapades, breaking hearts, and in the end ruining good women over and over again, he thought that he had finally found the ONE. There was something different about her, she had a certain realness about herself, she was special. So special in fact that instead of her being head over heels for him like so many others before her, it was the complete opposite. It was she that had him wide open, and in the end it would be him that would have to pick up the pieces of his broken heart, and find a way to go on with his existence.

We are then led to Hashim's second book released this summer, The Learning Curve. This book is more than factitious characters, Hashim says, "The book itself is as real as people are- you can see so much of the experiences we have going on in life today." His urban contemporary style used in this book caters to women, but is definitely knowledge material for a man who will in every page see a part of himself or someone he knows and can relate to what has been written. The cover of this book was first sketched by Lisa Jenkins and later created in color by Marc Margerum. Truly a masterpiece that is a must for all lovers of urban contemporary literature. He encourages all audiences from age 17 and up to read this book because it's the truth in a soft covered book.

The Learning Curve:

Christopher Alexander is back and out for revenge. After having his feelings hurt in an unimaginable way he’s out to make them pay. The only problem is, he plans on making all of women pay for the decision of one woman. Mr. Alexander start The Learning Curve exactly where Karma left off, instead of attempting to put the pieces back together and heal. Christopher dives head first back into a life of sexual encounters, without serious relationships. Turning his sex life into some kind of game that only he knows he’s playing. Running form woman to woman, until he’s broadsided by Ariel who’s playing a game herself. With her indecisiveness she has an impossible task of choosing between Christopher and her ex-man who just won’t quit. Or at least that’s how she portrays the situation. Without much effort at all she has Christopher back in a position that he swore he would never be in again. Little does he know he’s much worse off, than he was with Karma. From the classroom, to the bedroom, Christopher gives us a much deeper look into the exciting life he lives.

What's the lesson learned from a great writer like Hashim Conner? Patience! He says that he's still a work in progress- because he is one of the most impatient people he knows. Its a struggle because he sees the "now" in what he wants to do in his life and it's not like that in the world of writing. He learned that there is more to writing a book than just the author, and you have to work with people to become successful at it. He encourages other writers to do the research and learn as much as they can about being an author and about the publishing business, and just keep writing! "If you write for yourself and from your heart, you will definitely make a lasting impression in the field of literature than writing for the likes of others."

Where can we find this man, his books and more information on book signings and more? Right here of course! Both of his books are currently available at your local Barnes & Nobles Bookstore, Borders, Amazon online, or you can contact him personally via his website to get your copy signed by Hashim himself, sealed and delivered right to your door!

In closing Hashim had this to say to his fellow faithful readers: "I hope that you enjoy my writing, I put alot of time and love into my work with hopes of changing the lives of others- and I want you to make sure that when you buy any of my books- YOU DON'T LOAN THEM OUT! (Just kidding). Really take in what I'm writing, and see if it doesn't resemble what we are all either going through or have yet to experience."

REMINDER: If you go to Barnes and Nobles and they don't have a copy on hand, they can and will order it for you so please don't leave without getting the book!"

At My Wit's End.... Rambling & Art

Fortunate of me to have he - I mean him come into my life

Every time he looks at me- I forget about my past strife-

What he sees in me, I will never really begin to understand it-

My love for him came freely, He didn't have to demand it.

I did what he commanded and let go of what could have killed me-

He helped me open my eyes to my future and what I will see....

He gave me no more endless nites of lonesomeness-

Not as long as he's next to me- I can lay my head in his chest.

And breathe........

Final ly I can do that without it being because of exhaustion-

He broke me out of that coffin - and I begin to rise- live

Damn- why so sacrificial for me?

Then I feel him tighten up his arms around me--

I can feel his heartbeat- sense his need for me-

Know that if could let things go- this can truly be-

The perfect lovers' destiny.....

He knows what he wants- and he knows it's me-

But I'm out of my mind at this moment in time.

He says he'll wait- and that this is just fine.

So long as when we kiss the way we do-

Breathing into and out of one another,

Touching, and feeling without hands-

Just our hearts and souls- and afterward

It's me that he holds........

I can grant him that- for now- until my heart

Has time to mend........

I'm living for the moment,

The now, the present with a true best friend-

Knowing what I want- but still confused

Feeling like I'm at my wit's end....
