my middle name means queen..i'll be that

it seems like every girl around me lives for love/lust.
like its their main focus
its what they talk about the most,think about the most,and go after the hardest.
it has been said that disney movies are partially responsible for teaching young girls that they need a prince charming,but i never saw it that way.in every disney movie i can remember i always saw the female character as a magician ,being able to teach the male species more about himself and the world around him than he could have ever learned alone.
they never went searching for a boyfriend,and their goal was never to get the guy.
they boldly went after their own goals,lived life and took in all that came along with it,...coincidentally love.
somewhere along the path the road of what royalty should be has been tainted, girls(princesses) think they are entitled to a guy,and go after them as if they were commodity's and visa versa.
on top of that we label people as "thugs""skaters""artist" and expect them to behave accordingly
we forget that beyond all the labels,beyond being a boy or a girl,being gay or straight,white, or black that we are all simply human, and have way more to learn from each other than any of us could ever imagine
but until we all understand this you can label me as royalty
ill dream as if the whole world is mine, learn the traditions of the royal family,and understand and listen to the problems of the kingdom, so when its my turn to rule i can make a better one.

lightspeed champion-my turn

apache(jumponit!)

the other day i had the opportunity to attend the much anticipated show "from the grain" held at the popular atlanta music venue, apache cafe,and to rate the show as good is beyond an understatement.the show;featuring dow jones, lazymayne, kosherbeets, yelawolf, and nwk, not only entertained, but reminded me why i love hip hop and music in general.i love that its able to get a message heard, i love that its relate-able, and i love the passion in the eyes of those who are candidly preaching what their feeling to the audience with the microphone as their only weapon.
nwk(new ways of komprehension), a group made up of two of my multi-talented friends ,freeman and ethereal, did an especially grand job of this.micah(freeman's) complex lyrics and dramatic stage presence mixed with brandon(ethereal's) eclectic flow and abrasive original beats makes for a lost genre of music that not only forces you to expand your ears, but your mind as well.



(ohh yeah and yelawolf killed it as usual but that's just something you have to experience first hand, done writing for the night)

thinking about going back to school in two weeks sort of gets me in a molly from one of my favorite movies corrina corrina/pennies from heaven type of mood.and its not that i don't enjoy school, because i do; its just that the longer im home the more i realize how much i cherish the memories that could only be made here,in atlanta.oh well, i guess its like the song says "if you want the things you love you must have showers", and at times i really dig showers, especially penny showers!
