..soopahero.

pretty soon imma take this shxt off.

pretty soon imma meet that roadblock that i can't move.

pretty soon imma see something that wasn't TRUELY meant for me to see.

pretty soon imma not want anymore.

pretty soon imma just not be able to take anymore.

of anything.

pretty soon i'll voice in a sense of panic, which will turn into anger;

anger that i'll solely be blamed for & not of its origin.

pretty soon imma let go of everything because it shows signs of wanting to let go of me -

no matter how much work i put into trying to hold on to it.

pretty soon these words will officially mean nothing because for alotta people -

i won't make myself accessible by any way, shape or form.

pretty soon imma wanna know why i'm the underdog that NO ONE bets on unless its ---
convenient.

pretty soon imma want to know what you see in me.

pretty soon imma stop looking for results & progression & just stop.

i can't say i'll get tired soon cause i've been tired.

but pretty soon imma be a long shot for people to grasp;

pretty soon;

pretty soon everyone will dismiss what they've seen, heard or felt for greater goods & lesser evils -

& see they've had a misunderstanding of someone that doesn't walk the same line as they do.

pretty soon i'll no longer be the target for everyone else's frustration;

pretty soon i'll no longer be the safe haven that everyone runs to.

pretty soon it'll all be air.

sooner.

than.

later.

.end

..death of a soopahero?

RE:flection

i took control of my life along time ago & despite the bridges that i've built AND the ones that i've burned, i still find it hard to understand why i give so much of me, mentally. i got tired of the feeling of not beingin control or, knowing that someone was waiting for me to fail by THEIR words & help.. then i looked in the mirror one night where i lost a friend.. & how he betrayed me.. i looked at how i lost something that was never there & never WANTED her there as time went on.. i said to myself "..what am i doing?" from then on, i soil my face with in the mornings & nights with stares from the other side of the glass, taking notes.. & turning my back any & everything that doesn't want here OR there..

"..when you get tired of the nights crying & wondering about who feels what about you, you'll find that energy to give up.. but the moment you give up, you lose.. i don't like losing. never have & never will.. but then there's some things that you HAVE to give up on; so with that, i can ACCEPT losing, but i still don't like it." -RND

FAIL.

Megapixel.

..enough said.

Freeze.

Canon Powershot SX20 IS

Nikon CoolPix P100

FujiFilm FinePix s700

these 3 cameras are on my list right now to cop. they're all a little cheaper than getting a straight single lens camera (SLR for those who call themselves photographers & don't know the language). the photographer makes the photo, not the camera. remember that. one of these has gotta become a victim soon. very soon.

There's Nothing You Can Do.

aaaight, so N.E.R.D. is suppose to drop their new album June 15th, after changing the album titled from "Instant Gratification" to "Nothing".

"We scrapped 27 records because they weren’t good enough, they sounded great – but what were they saying? So we went back in (to the studio) and just focused on feeling…It’s almost like we did this whole entire album with our eyes closed, not because it was that easy but because it was that important to reconnect to what we feel and I would say this album is like scrapping everything and starting with nothing." - Pharrell Williams

i think that could fly for right now. i really don't like the full mastered version of "Soldier" but imma wait until the whole album is out in June to give a full review. what i'm mostly concerned about is this; you now have 3 albums that are must-haves in my opinion for the summer: Drake's "Thank Me Later", The Game's "The R.E.D. Album" - that Pharrell executive produced & now N.E.R.D's "Nothing" album.. do you know thats anywhere from $30 to $60 spent in one store? lol. i wanna know or see what happens with sales because thats gonna be a pretty thick tuesday. after one week, i think everyone believes that Drake is gonna have more sales. for one, he's on tour right now. Two, NERD doesn't have a single or video out & neither does Game - yet. its about to be May & June is around the corner. Drake has been on his dean since So Far Gone EP was released.. we'll find out come June 15th, now won't we?

*oh yeah - & that Rhea chick ain't with the group anymore - thank the Lord, lol.*

Wondering Wednesday.

Nas /// "It Ain't Hard To Tell"

i woke up this morning & it just felt different for some reason.. it was cloudy (still is at this moment) & it just didn't feel right. i woke right up & took these pictures so i was fresh outta my sleep, about to take a shower & roll out. i get those feelings sometimes that i know alotta people aren't gonna understand, let alone ever have.. alotta things i keep to myself & watch manifest right in front of my face sometimes. sometimes i'll see one thing but then it'll change/shift & change paths & i think thats the scariest shxt in the world.. right now, i don't know what the hell is going on cause the colors ain't matchin'.. i'm seeing improvements but like they say, you take 3 steps forward, you'll get knocked back some steps that'll put you right back in the hole. in the end, i just fight & endure until this S on my chest can't stand anymore.

Booties Look Like THIS Size.

we all know that Ciara been away from the game for a minute but her single "Ride" though?? smh.. The Dream showed his ass on this one, with Ludacris sealing the deal. now, as every dude that likes women in heels with nice legs, "Promise" is still her best & most suggestive video ever. this one though, i wasn't disappointed. "Basic Instinct" is her album title so be looking for that. here's the video; check it out.

Tightrope.

Janelle Monae is dropping "The ArchAndroid: Suites II & III" May 18th & the artwork was just released for the cover of the album & i think its just dammit fly as hell. go the intel as to what it means as well.

"The ArchAndroid Crown: Designed by Zoman Ignatius, the half-elf, half-human mystic, reportedly 500 years ago. According to legend, the crown has several magic properties, as well as innovative technologies that can be employed only by The ArchAndroid. Zoman was a consummate inventor, artist and sculptor, a cross between Tesla and Da Vinci, and as such, he designed the crown to be a work of beauty that would embody the very spirit of Metropolis. According to legend, the crown features prominent Metropolis buildings and towers that will light up radiantly when the one and only true ArchAndroid wears the crown. According to the Daily Horos, this opulent headdress was stolen from the vaults in the Black House, reportedly by 1954, in October of 2715. Several members of 1954 were hunted down and executed for this crime. But the crown was never found. Many claim it has been secreted away to the Wonderground. There is also word that in the year 2010, several 1954 operatives have crafted a replica of this historic headdress to be worn by Janelle Monáe in anticipation for her album The ArchAndroid…no word on whether or not this replica has magic properties… The Living Cyktionary, 9th Edition, 2719"

"..& when they give you their shoulders never cry on 'em & when they love you to death never die on 'em.." /// Drake

personally, when LeBron James came into the NBA, there was alotta hype that i seen with him & i was kinda skeptic about his performance, but i gave him time to develop & honorably, i believe he's becoming one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

everyone is so damn gun-ho about him not having a championship ring under his belt & not his talent & massive balling skills. if the media paid attention, they'd see that he help build the Cavs up to become a competitive team. right now, with the 2010 NBA Playoffs underway, he's thinking of going to another team. the Knicks are on deck first.. personally i cannot see LeBron going to the Knicks. the only reason why that WOULD happen is because of money. that'll make ANYONE go anywhere. at the same time, look how long it took LeBron James to build the Cavaliers to where they are now as a team.. that took a few years. is LeBron gonna wanna go somewhere else just because he doesn't have a ring?

i mean, its really baffling to me because i'm anticipating what James is gonna wanna do. he's been talked about how he can't do this, doesn't have any say-so in saying/doing that, being treated like he's some misfit, calling him "arrogant" - because he can play?? smh. i'm certain that LeBron will make the right move real soon - just gotta wait it out.
