Love Your Life: The Message

Buy Black Fridays“Our podium, what we have to speak from, is the music. It’s really important that we stay focused because things become misconstrued in the media. So we have to stick firm to who we are and stand our ground musically. We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public…A lot of us are too busy focusing on what we think people want to hear, as opposed to just saying what’s in our hearts.” -Lauryn Hill

Have a fly day!

Love Your Life: Beware Of Dangerous Programming

Get Off My Wings LogoSpeaking from experience, TV and media-images intake is extremely dangerous! You only have to abandon television for a long period of time and then come into contact with it again to feel the negative effects of what watching too much of the wrong shows can do to you.

I don’t own a television, but the internet is the new TV. Don’t get trapped into thinking that the wrong shows are okay. That’s how you can get lured in and find yourself trapped and effected by what your mind is being programmed with. The same goes for blogs and media sites. Funny how I don’t watch TV, award shows, and things of that nature; yet, I can still tell you what’s going on with “celebrities.” Just from reading my timeline updates, I’m abreast of all of the latest “celebrity gossip.” I know that directing any attention to these sort of things is poisonous. Whether it is people praising or complaining about these “celebrities” drawing my attention towards them is not what I want to do. There is an absolute negative effect of feeding energy to that which should be smothered with indifference.

I am hereby detoxing from all the madness! I’ve played with the flames of TV programming and have experienced the repercussions. I can’t afford the price of engaging in the nonsense. Recalibrating. Peace.

Have a fly night!

Lots of Love,

Music History Fact Of The Week: Tupac Was Slated To Star In Higher Learning

Get Off My Wings LogoTupac was slated to star in the movie, “Higher Learning.” However, his “legal troubles” stop his appearance in the film. According to a biography on the legendary figure: “By the end of 1993, Sony execs were pushing hard for John Singleton to drop Tupac from the cast of Higher Learning even though the lead role had been written for him. He’d become in a manner of speaking, radioactive. Singleton was miffed, but there was little he could do as Sony, not wanting a part of the controversy took a pass on Tupac.” -From, “Tupac Shakur” By: McQuillar & Johnson
