September 2nd

       I loved you and never knew you, a seed that would have sprouted the way I know you could have if given the opportunity. And though I am hurt beyond measure that you are not here for me to believe in you; and watch you grow into something great, I guess GOD had other plans for you. A plan that was bigger then me wanting you here to call my own. You made me realize how much of a man I really am; that I have to learn to believe in myself way more then I was going to believe in you, that I had to love myself a little more then I do right now. I hate myself because I feel like it was my fault you're not here but realistically it isn't. Even right now as I write its like a knife pierced my heart, and the tears won't stop rolling down my face. But it is because of you showing me; even with you not even physically here, made me grow up and stop procrastinating. I was once told that a man doesn't start being a father until the baby is born, but with all that has happened I realize how much of an untrue statement that truly is. I was stepping up to the plate way before you were conceived, way before I even knew you were in the process of being made. All you did was make me reassure myself that as much as I thought I was evolving, you could transform me even the more. This isn't fair and though I felt like GOD didn't care about how this would make me feel; I would much rather you be up there watching over me from heaven, guiding my steps and thoughts, rooting me on when everyone else is expecting me demise. So when its time for us to have another little one, we will accept all that we have lost, and appreciate what we have even the more. I love you Son, and thank you for teaching me about myself. Thank you for teaching me that as much as life may be cruel to us, it has a funny way of being true to us even if we don't want to believe. This nightmare shed light on the darkness I held over my head for long. You were the balance to my complicated life and for that I am forever indebted to you. I prayed for a miracle and you were that; and though I close this chapter in my page of life, I open up to the next one that will continue to teach me to be s better man.
Remember that I Love you Always and forever, to the unborn child I wasn't able to have....Daddy will keep believing; reaching pinnacles unheard of because  you, and how much you believe in me. This isn't Good bye, but more like I'll see you later... <3

Exclusive Underground Gem in Brooklyn: Paint & Poetry by Mojo Disco

    So Saturday night I decided to go to this event that I've been hearing about for while now called Paint & Poetry. If I could describe this event in one word I couldn't, because this event was better then ANY adjective I could think of to express it fully. Before I even got there I got lost at first because I went the wrong way in Brooklyn (I'm a Harlem guy), but luckily I met up with a great friend and designer by the name of Nathaniel White; who is the creator of NENE LA SHIRO. We both made our way to the venue at about 8:35 pm, and already people were having a great time and this was outside. It was only $5 to get in, and for what I was going to experience that amount was well worth it.

     There were people sitting down lounging, enjoying each others company. Smiling everywhere, artistic paintings on the wall; but the REAL experience was nearly feet away as I made my way downstairs to experience what would be the climax of my evening. A homemade bar, people playing pool, black lights everywhere and even black light paintings on the wall. Nude painting was even happening with a woman as the canvas, from then I realized this was just a small taste of what was yet to come. The crowd was really chill & laid back as we waited for the performances to begin, and once they did I was more then grateful I came there.

   It is an understatement to say that each and every individual that touched the mic to spew their words of either poetry or music was great. Like I said earlier there's not one set adjective that could express the people there. They sang songs, rapped or did poetry from their souls. It was as though GOD was shining on them from the Heavens above. I was also feeling the Hosts there as well, one which I know personally. She and I have a picture together on this post as well & her name is Cristal Joshua & she is a GREAT model.

    I finally had the opportunity to meet the creator of Paint & Poetry who goes by the name of Mojo Disco. Now this young entrepreneur was very humble, and sincere when he and I had a time to speak during the half time of the event. I introduced myself to him & he said he knew who I was & he appreciated that I came. I have the utmost respect for this young entrepreneur because he's doing something that no one else is doing. Being able to have such a powerful event, with people from all walks of life as well as different races & ethnicities, merging together for one common appreciation of Art. I wish that more people knew about things like this, & if they don't I'm here to let them know.

   This event is ALWAYS packed when they have it monthly & I saw why. I networked with great artist and there are more people from that event that will be on here soon. Keep up the outstanding work Mojo Disco, you will go quite far with this monthly event & I will continue to support you 110%. The underground gem called paint & poetry was an event of the ages, I'm glad I came & I will play my part and invite everyone I know. It's events like this one they makes me rep for New York City, we are the city that never sleeps, but our creativity is what drives us to stay awake!
