Hip Hop

I love hip hop. Its this weird relationship with something that should be completely foreign to me, yet every time I listen to it, it provokes all the right feelings. I have been listening to the new Drake album on repeat for months now, not to mention my insane collection of ODB (Old Dirty Bastard for those new to his phenomena), NWA (Nigga's With Attitude) and Lil Wayne. I will not dive into the depths of why I think listening to all types of music is best to learn more about yourself and our culture, but it truly does open a world up to me that I can't seem to get enough of. I love this Kid Cudi song.

Permanent

I'm getting a tattoo this weekend. Much to my mothers dismay and my boyfriends excitement. I've always wanted to get another one but never could truly decide the best thing. So the decision has finally been made, I will get a few amazing pieces from the 1930's circus. Think french trapeze artists, lion tamers and elephants!

Fortune Telling

Its weird how I get astrology updates in my inbox at the most opportune times. "Have you met Mr Right?" "Is your career right for you?" These echo in my mind, like a mothers unprovoked advice on a bad day. Its almost as if the universe (i.e. internet world) is trying to tell me something. Sometimes it feels like there are signs pointing things out in front of you everyday and you make a choice to see them or not. I usually choose the not. I think life is for living and predicting the outcome or stressing over the future of "what will be" will only really leave you living a limited version of your actual life. Its like that person in the movie theater telling you every part of the movie before it actually happens. You now aren't enjoying the movie but instead anticipating the next move that you already know about. There is no point to this in your life either. If you are enjoying something right now, then live in that enjoyment. I have a very annoying tendency to anticipate the future events in my life. I also set them in the not so positive light and then work myself up over the idea of this future life. All the while forgetting that this is not my life yet and that right NOW my life is amazing.
if you live for every moment, as you are living it, then you realize that that moment IS your life.
