Dear February 14th

Dear February 14th,

For the record, I don’t hate you. I actually owe you an apology, because like many I’ve had you misunderstood for awhile now. I’M SORRY. Valentines Day is the one day in our society that outshines the hate. It’s the ONE day that love gets to win. It’s the one day where romance and chivalry have favor over the game players and procrastinators. It’s the one day those of us who still believe in the Universal promise & can visualize our dream of one day being in love without being ridiculed or called “hopeless.” So what if some people are faking the funk, so what if it’s not shown every day of the year as it should be, so what if some people don’t celebrate it. SO WHAT? What holiday, celebration, or commemoration doesn’t have its naysayers? We’re all entitled to our opinions and that doesn’t make those who oppose the day haters or bitter. Whether I celebrate the day with a loved one or celebrate the day basking in my independence, I am proud of those with the courage to keep…LOVING. In-spite of circumstance, in-spite of how hopeless some call you, and in-spite of how naive some say you are. I commend you for having the willingness to TRY. Those who are blocking their own happiness may see your actions on this day as pointless but you keep pressing on regardless. Some may not understand but you all fly high anyway. Thanks February 14th for reminding those few who still care that there is hope still.

My Touch photo test

Figured it was long overdue for me to post a pic from the My Touch. Took this and added a retro effect.

I left her for the other..

I left her for the other... Well we had much fun together, i can't lie. You introduced me to the world of smart phones & the infinite possibilities. But like some couples do, we must part ways. Sorry it had to be the day before Valentines Day but i know you truly understand. You see she came along and showed me a different way of goi...ng about things, her touch, the way she slides & glides, when i talk to her she listens & talks back. She even types for me when i speak. I often wondered if you listened to me when i would speak to you. Trust me this is hard for me as it is for you. I know you understand & you'll always remain close. But i had to go with the My Touch 4G & the TeamAndroid Blackberry .. So now it will be "

S/N: really looking forward to the social media, video capabilities & the photography apps...

We Accept....

Acceptance

No matter how long we’ve known a person, no matter the relationship or bond, you’ll only ever know as much about somebody as they want you to know. Just like onions, we all have layers and we peel them back one by one showing each other new things. Trust people to be who they’ve always shown you they are, that should be the expectation, anything beyond that should be seen as potential but not taken for promise. Every adult isn’t grown, age defines time, it doesn’t measure maturity. However we aren’t to judge people on the layers they reveal regardless of whether or not we approve, true serenity comes when we trade our expectations for acceptance. To embrace and accept people as who they are does not require you to approve. We all may agree on the necessity of growth and change but we won’t all be in agreement on how we do it.

I took this photo at a corner store one night & it represents the Acceptance of life..

Press On

 

Honestly I think about giving up at least 4 times a week. I get tired, weary, and fed up. You have those who say stuff like “things could always be worse;” but at times it’s hard to find encouragement in that, especially if “worse” is always what happens. Sometimes life makes it seems like the good people deserve to end up with the hardest times. And it’s easy to feel defeated by that fallacy until we realize the answers are often waiting for us in the presence of our problems. In a perfect world when we ask for patience, wisdom, and strength, the Universe would just give it to us. But unfortunately that’s just not how it works. When we pray, what we're blessed with are opportunities to be patient, chances to be wise, and moments to be strong. Life will never give the triumph without the trials and if it does prepare for tribulation. The only way to appreciate being at the top is having a humble understanding of what it took to get there. Though quitting is sometimes a thought in my mind, it’s never an option in my life. Never!...

Red Rock Serentiy

Nature has to be one of the most unique & beautiful creations in the Universe. This is a shot of Red Rock canyon during a snow storm. The serenity is surreal within. One of those feelings where you can actually hear & listen to yourself think.

Love & Joy Crumbled Break up card!

Love & Joy Crumbled Thanks asshole by dariusgoins

Put some humor in your trial & tribulations with this "Thanks Asshole" break up card. Who says all break ups are bad! Some could be fun & should be taken as a learning experience. This was a photo i took some months back & did a blog post about a particular topic on relationships & was asked about making it into a card for someone. So here it is for others also..

Life to be....

Nothing is more precious than the birth of life. A welcome of pure innocence into the world of unfamiliar. Funny thing is when a child is born, their lives can go in any direction one chooses. Mainly depends on the path the parents put them on & introduce them to. I do believe we are born equal, now after that is a different story lol. Once you enter the world, well thats a different ball game altogether. This is my newborn cousin while still in the womb a few days before she entered the world. I can't wait to do some baby shots & learn her personality. Congratulations cuz on the new edition to the family. Love you guys much!
