?uestlove does it again... with such a badass drummer doin ur beats, its hard to not have good music.

fear, itself

"facing my fears is easy when the fear itself is fearful"

tomorrow i have to tell a judge and a mediator wat Andre Jackson did to me for 7 years.
i have to explain the humilation and the torment he put my soul thru.
i have to describe the hell i lived in for all those years.
and confront the face of my tormentor.

yet i am not afraid.
i only feel the righteous pride of a vengeful warrior
riding into battle against an old and familiar foe.

it's not God's strength that grants me this righteousness
His strength is busy keeping me from committing murder.
my strength has grown strong enough to withstand the worst of oppressions.

"i am the man in the dark that strikes fear in the heart of Death"

hooray for insomnia!!!!

ok so i've been up since about 2:15pm yesterday... and i have to wake up at 2am tomorrow... but i'm not tired!!!!

wierd?... maybe.

anyway, i have great news! those of you that kno me have at one time or another heard me speak of my clothing line... future clothing line to be exact. well... i finally started working on my collections for fall '08 and spring '09. finally.


i'll post the catalog on the blog once i'm done... dont expect sumthing long or complex. i'm new to this whole thing and these will just be brainstorming pieces.

the catalog will most likely be a collection of polo's, rugby's, jackets, and boots [for fall]... and t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, and sneakers [for spring].

sorry ladies... ur line will come soon. i'd like to get a better feel for feminine design before i take a crack at it.


so yeah... look for it later this year... prolly around april/may/june '08 haha.


thanx.

inDECISION 2008

can't decide who to vote for? think Obama is God's gift to the US gov't?



watch this... and be amazed. kinda corny. yes. but factual.

feeling down?

this'll pick up. and if u dont end up smiling sumtime during this vid... ur not human!


ps. cathy nguyen [second singer] is the best [its my blog... i can say that.]

for all the "strong black women"

not the one's that have a job, an education, and commonsense [not to mention self respect]... im talkin' 'bout the one's who want a nigga to pay their bills, and take care of them for the rest of their lives. the one's that nag and bitch about how they cant find a good man, yet refuse to stop dating thug niggas that sell drugs and beat women....


yes ladies this is for you:

my sanctuary [haha]

yes im messy. yes thats my blog.

um yeah. i have a a matrix comic, some storyboards from a dream i had [i'll tell you later], a few sketches fro a coat i designed, a home-made starbucks knockoff, my xbox 360 controller, PS CS2 for Dummies, and a bunch of other random stuff on there. and this was after i "cleaned up". haha.


life's to short to worry about putting things in place.

so yesterday i realized how much of a puppet i am. in the words of my dear ol' mum [she'd kill me if she read that i called her "old" or "mum"],
"jonathan, you're a puppet. and [the she-devil in question] is pulling your strings like a marionette master"
thanx mom. where would i be without your consistent ability to point out something i'm trying really hard to ignore.

ok. so i might be a puppet. i can see that. but really, i think realizing you're a puppet feels worse than actually having your strings pulled. i wonder if everyone knows how it feels. to know that some one else knows what makes you tick; what makes you breathe. to use those very needs against you for their gain. then to realize that you fell for it every time. and would fall for it right this second if they tried it.

sucks, doesn't it? for those of you that know. and for those who have not had the delightful pleasure of being some else's lapdog, i pray life spares you that divine privilege. sorry. i'm just selfish like that.

how will i be remembered?
