Tomorrow will be my first time voting for a presidential election. I am MORE THAN THRILLED to get an opportunity to make a difference, even though some don't see it that way. Voting to me, is a privledge that you get. Some choose to not vote, while others( like me) cannot wait to cast theirs. I also am so adament about voting because then - if the person that I would love to see become president does not, then I have all the time in the world to talk shit. If I did not vote, I wouldn't even be able to open my big mouth about any of this!!
Most of all, I just want to see whoever we select to be president of our country, begin taking the necessary steps to change the way we live. I know that it will not happen in one day, one week or one month. To just know that we are taking steps to become a better country - will ease my mind about all of the constant negativity that our country has endured throughout the presidency of Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.
VOTE 4 CHANGE!!

I'll Admit That I Took My Vision For Granted..
On October 17, 2008 I was in a car accident that pretty much changed my life. Which is also the reason why I haven't been posting. So, I was in a car accident where the airbag deployed right in my face and temporarily took my vision in my left eye. Through two weeks of not being able to see out of one eye and numerous doctor's appointments and SURGERY two days ago - I am so proud to say that my vision is restored. It is still blurry, BUT I am able to see out of both of my eyes.
Before this accident, I hate to admit it, but like alot of other people, I was taking simple daily tasks and skills for granted. You think nothing of it to wake up in the morning and open your eyes and see. When something like what I went thru happens, you really take into perspective ALL of the things that you do on a daily basis that you don't even think twice about. I admit that I was taking my ability to open my eyes and see- for granted.
This experience has taught me to be more humble than I have ever been before and just to thank God everyday for the gifts that he has blessed me with. Not everyone wakes up and can see, not everyone wakes up to hear the sound of their alarm clock, and not everyone wakes up and actually gets out of bed on their own. I have learned more than ever to be greatful for the things I have and for my hearing, my sight and the ability to do things on my own.

Crown Frights ; I Mean Heights..
If any of you have been to Brooklyn, NY, you may know that there are good sections and bad sections - like any other town, city or state. Brooklyn though, can jump from good to bad or vice versa in one left turn. But I had a friend who moved there on a whim and I went to visit him a few times. This one time though, whatt! I was so glad that he was in the car with me, because I almost pissed myself.
We were driving down this road in Crown Heights and I ended up passing the next street that I was supposed to take. Two seconds later, this guy runs into the middle of the street yelling all types of bitches to this dude on the other side of the street. And just like that, shots started blaring past us. I had to pull over and we shielded ourselves.
In another instant, the both were gone and my boy and I were left, well more like I - was left shocked as all hell. I think I was only in Crown Heights one other time after that happened...and was never back since.

Video Of The Week II
I do not wanna take the shine away from JOBLAC and his track that I had originally picked for video of the week, but I must also share this video, since it's one of my favorite tracks known to existence...
Video Of The Week - Every Wednesday
My very first video of the week belongs to JOBLAC FROM STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT. The song is fire, the beat is off the hook, and it just so happens to be one of my favorite songs that his artist has out, to date. The track is called 'Long Live The Kid'. ENJOY!
Note: When choosing my video of the week, I take NOTHING into consideration at the time, except that it will always be a song that I'm feeling at that moment in time. It could be anything from Green Day to my favorite in history - Wu Tang Clan.
