Just wanted to say, Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day…oh yea also it’s a Happy Monday.  I know I know every week there is a Monday and only once a year we celebrate MLK Jr. Day.

Of the bat, it’s the beginning of the week.  I hope everyone is being safe and taking it easy.  Don’t stress yourself about the small things, don’t get lose yourself to gain nothing you can’t sustain.

Enjoy. Cheers.

At A Stand Still: Unfiltered Thoughts

Lately I have been in at a stand still, it’s like I have a lost of words but just want to write for writing sake. Do you find that odd? It’s like I have ideas, I have projects I want to do, but to write the words to contribute to the projects itself is a task. On the other hand I just want to write and let out words and my unfiltered thoughts to the world.

It’s more like I just want to write on my blog and do video session videos of me saying what’s on my mind and not having a totally goal but for others to listen if they choose to. I just don’t know.

I think I am just going to do it. I don’t feel bad about doing it, I just want to let it out, whatever it is. I just want to be plain & transparent and black & white at the same time. I think that would bring me to feel better.

To Be A Published Author, A Dream

I have at a time hated books.  I hated to read.  It wasn’t to say I wasn’t interesting to read, it was just at that time I felt most of the content were typical.  I felt the same story and angles were being used.  Now I feel the same way about films.  I still love film, just feel a lack of storyline is being used to be different.  I will get back to film another post, but books were my enemy.  Have you ever felt that way before?

In high school when I discovered Shakespeare, Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou is when it hit me, I love books.  I hate to have to go 0-500 pages of reading but I loved books.   I just hated reading them in school just to pass a test.

What intrigue me the most were the authors and their story.  I used to wonder what the author must have been thinking to capture an emotion and to keep you engaged within a story.  Why they choose a certain plot or how thought of their characters names.  So based off of those curiosities and the lack or void of certain storytelling, I wanted to be a published author.  I didn’t know how and when, but I knew before the end of my life (I later adapted to the fame term: Bucket List), I would like it noted and documented that I was a published author.

Streamline about 10 plus years later, I figured out my angle and stories I wanted to write and tell, it’s just the execution of it I was missing.  It was my goal to achieve this “Published Author” milestone in 2012, but sadly I failed at that, based on timing and a lot of pressure with other goals and milestones I wanted, but finally can say with certainty that 2013 will be the year I achieve a dream.

Who are you favorite authors?  Do you like to read?  Do you own a digital e-reader?
