Well consider this part two, focused on a somewhat overlooked matter. Underwear. A good foundation is essential to almost everything and no matter your style or fashion, wearing the correct undergarments would make you look even better. It makes no sense wearing 'pretty clothes' if they don't fit well, and more often than not this is due to the lack of proper underwear. </span></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First off; choose well fitted undergarments that compliment your figure. That would mean if you have larger breasts you may want a full cup bra or a minimizer bra and avoid push up bras or padded bras simply because you do not need the extra emphasis. Squeezing your boobs into a smaller bra in an effort to make them look smaller or in an effort to create cleavage, would only result in them looking busted and misshapen.I call this the 'rachet titty' look and I know you've seen it before. Brings tears to my eyes every time.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wearing panties that fit is also key. I know this may sound obvious, but if I had a dollar for every time I saw a panty printing out that was too small, I would be rich. It's just not cute okay. The point is to set the foundation for your clothes to fit seamlessly, whatever the style, not to cut off circulation to your labia. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many women today opt for Shapewear and this is an excellent choice to smooth and slim out <strike>folds and lumps</strike> certain body parts and hold every thing together. It improves the silhouette and even helps with posture but most of all it creates that seamless fit we all desire.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your underwear should also be comfortable. Finding that balance between function and comfort can get tricky. This has been one of my issues, finding undies that give the correct support and at the same time feel <i>barely there</i> is always a challenge but with some cash and patience this problem can be solved. But COME ON!!! if you know the panty going 'parka' every time u move, if you know you going have to pick it out, don't wear it.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Another important element to consider when choosing the right underclothes is your actual outfit. What are you wearing? Fabric, color, cut and fit. Your undies must compliment this.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
For instance, when wearing white clothes persons with darker skin tones should stick to black underwear, as it diminishes that look of transparency. If your garments are revealing choose underwear styles that accommodate for this; strapless bras, thongs or g strings, adhesive silicone bras and in some cases no underwear at all (once your body is tight this shouldn't be a problem). A colorfully decorated bustier can also come in handy. Always have a good full coverage seamless bra for tees when you want that flawless tee shirt look.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I can truly go on forever, but I hope by now you get the idea. There are tips and tricks all over the web as well. Underwear is important when getting dressed. The right undergarments create a good base for your clothes to fit the way they were designed to. Overall you look better in your clothes when you take your time to package whats underneath. </span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ashion over Style. So many times I've heard this nonsense declared by DJs in parties before dropping some Dance Hall tune or the other that promotes the same stupidity. This is always immediately followed by a large number of 'hot girls' in the party putting their drinks in the air and screaming in agreement to this decree of their life's philosophy. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What's worse, is that it doesn't seem to be just hype in the club. It's apparent that too many people take this fecal mantra to heart. Men, women, boys and girls all over the Island look like fools on a regular basis trying to keep up with Kim and Kanye and it's annoying as hell.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so tired of going through photos on Facebook after an event and feeling sorry for the girls and some of the guys because they look a mess, and yes the chicks are the worst. You do it to yourselves ladies; running down every fashion trend that comes on the market in an effort to 'look good', or whatever. Well its not working and as a matter of fact, it has backfired horribly. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is entirely the wrong approach. Giving priority to trends as opposed to developing your own sense of style can only lead to one looking a hot mess. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fashion is basically what's popular in a certain geographic area at a specific time or among a particular group of people, in short, it's clothes that are popular. This would obviously contribute to our sense of style but it shouldn't be the end all of it. At the end of the day personal style is more important than </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">just randomly buying something just because 'it dey in'. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Style is using clothing and accessories as an outlet for your personality. It's knowing who your are, what you want to say and not stressing about whether you fit in or not. Even though you do use fashionable pieces, it should be a reflection of your personality, your own individual 'je ne sais quoi' must shine through. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Having style means being consistent, you can't be boho today and hipster tomorrow, just because you saw it on tumblr. Spending hundreds on threads is not a positive indicator of style either, on the contrary an individual with real style can thrift shop or DIY it and still look absolutely fabulous. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And that's the other thing. Lord Gawd!!! just because it looked good on Rhi Rhi doesn't mean that it would flatter you. having style means that before you make that purchase you have considered your size, your likes and dislikes and your comfort level. Looking good is not synonymous with looking like everyone else. It certainly does not mean you have to look like the Michelin Man in a cut out body con dress.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Having style is sexy, it displays a sense of individuality and independence of thought, this my friends... is swag. You shouldn't strive to look like 'one ah dem', instead try to look the way you feel, fit your body and express yourself. Develop a sense of style and let it shine</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>

<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">W</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hat happens to your thoughts after you think them? We all regurgitate the "positive thinking" rhetoric, but I really wonder if people know just how true it is.Your thoughts can kill you. OR they can allow you to live a healthy relatively happy life. Once we know and understand the power our minds hold everything would change.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hate it when people constantly complain about their "bad" situation. They dwell on all the crappy things that keep happening to them. They incessantly recap their pains and sorrows, and never fail to remind you how much bad luck they have, or how they would never find a mate, or a job. Just Stop!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think of your thoughts as seeds that can grow and blossom or infect and fester. Negativity is cancerous, it attaches itself to your surroundings and grows and attracts more negativity,<span style="text-align: left;">what you think influences how you live.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">I
believe that our thoughts and words hang over our heads like stars or a cloud
that follows us around all day. They soak into our walls and into our furniture;
they cling to our belongings and even to our very selves. They occupy our
spiritual space, and they are catalysts for the events in our lives. </span><span style="text-align: left;">It’s a
simple equation really. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Thoughts turn into words that turn into action, (it is a cycle) and the
one rule that will forever hold true in our universe is Newtons Third Law of
Motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No
force means no acceleration, nothing is random there is always a reason, and the fuel that pushes us through our lives is often our
thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It
is the reason why the pen is mightier that the sword, why the spoken word is so
dangerous, because they can plant thoughts that blossom and grow ……. or fester.
We must be careful of the thoughts that we harbor about ourselves and about the
people around us. Thinking positively is not a meaningless cliche. It could be
the difference between happiness and despair. What your college professor said
is really true “Attitude IS everything”, and perspective makes all the
difference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Control
your thoughts and you can, for the most part, control your life. And I admit, IT
IS easier said than done, it takes
practice and a certain level of spiritual discipline and consciousness where
you are always aware of who you are, where you are, of who is around you and of
what they bring with them, because poison can come in many forms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This
awareness isn't something that we have to learn, but rather something we have
to awaken and tap into, because it’s already there. You can put it like this; there
are taunt strings attached to us and when we think, and when we do, the vibrations
go out into the universe. They certainly have an effect on our lives and the
greater the thoughts (i.e; the more you think them), the greater the force, the
greater the influence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
say let us influence positively our own existence and the lives of others. But we
must start with our thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">H</span>ow important is sex in your relationship?? Whenever I chill with my girls we have the most heated discussions when it comes to sex and relationships, cause we are all so different, and I suppose that's the thing; for different people sex means different things.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My home girl Kay (I'm using an alias to protect her identity -_-) has a huge problem. Her new man refuses to eat the sour sop, he doesn't wanna munch on the cookie, he objects to going down on her. Personally I was appalled he was even still her man with those kinda going-ons, but surprisingly she is okay with it, she dosn't LIKE it, but she's prepared to live with it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Besides finding it difficult to believe that men like that still exist. I remain totally bewildered and perplexed, even in the aftermath of her lengthy explanation of how "some-things-must-be-sacrificed-for-the-greater-good" ... blah blah blah. How could you be okay with mediocre sex??... from anyone?? ... let alone the person you are considering spending the rest of your life with ??? So he's an awesome guy besides that, she insists he treats her like a Disney Princess, just a stand up human being really. The sex, well.... not so awesome, o_O but home girl is willing to tough it out and hope he comes around..... goes down..... or whatever.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I say... good for her, but I wasn't gonna be able to do that. Just like I can't be with a man who does not have the sufficient intellect to hold a decent conversation with me, I cannot be with someone who is sexually incompatible. I love sex, to say the least. My partner must be able to satisfy me (that includes enthusiastic oral sex) and vice versa. If not, we would just be wasting our time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am unwilling to sacrifice my sex life just cause he's a nice guy. I'll wait ..... I'm sure I can find a nice guy eager to give me mustache rides. But seriously, I know you can never have your cake and eat it. That in every relationship compromises have to be made. I certainly know that when looking for a mate common sense wins, the perfect man does not exist, but I will be damned if I stay with a man who doesn't do the <a href="http://www.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs1/1721744_o.gif">cabbage Patch</a> at the thought of licking me like a puppy, with a bowl ah milk. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">S</span>o my home girl sends me a pic of her new man, "what do you think?" she wants to know, "is he ugly?" I laugh out loud at the thought of her feeling like she has to satisfy some social need to have a <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxf3AVon3FY&feature=related">Star Boi</a></i> as her man. I thought he was average. She made me assure her that my inconsequential opinion about his nose and jaw line were fact. I was a little annoyed at first, I mean he wasn't a dog, but so what if he was, as long as he was good to her .... right???? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well it really isn't that simple. We are visual beings, living in an age of instant gratification, in other words we SHALLOW- AS - HELL, and unfortunately looks do matter. No one picks the ugly dude in the dance to make out with, the real question, is how much looks SHOULD matter in choosing a mate.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"I have a type", she explains, "and its not ugly". O_o Most women know what they want in a man, we always hope that we find him and he's handsome too. But you can't always have what you want. We must be warned against holding out for the "perfect guy". I'm not saying we should lower our standards, just set our priorities straight, and be realistic. She fell for a man who didn't meet her usual strict standards of physical beauty, even though she admits that he a "pretty decent guy" (no pun intended), AND the sex is awesome.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Still, she's concerned about how the kids would turn out, about what her family and friends would think about her bringing home ah ugly man. She feels it necessary to have that general feeling of satisfaction that comes with having a handsome prize on her arm, a man other women would lust for. But really ??? ..... why sacrifice your happiness for a pretty face?? Common sense would tell us that beauty fades, that character and values are what would really decide the faith of a relationship. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;">Real love is never ugly. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But hey... if we’re already committing shoe-icide; sacrificing our
feet for a hot pair of heels, its not
that hard to see how for some, its totally acceptable to be miserable as long as he’s cute, but to me that’s
like committing suicide.</span><br />

really, hats off to Yeezy, Cheers. I've been meaning to do a review
of his Power Trailer (video) and I kept putting it off. But I guess
that just gave me more time to say what I think about a few more
things that happened.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">First off
Kanye makes Twitter the fun place on the internet. And his stream of
consciousness tweet and apology to Taylor swift, had us all hanging
onto his every tweet, I was so happy to hear that the EGO was gonna
take a back seat and music was gonna drive the Maybach again. I just
wanted to give Kanye a hug at that moment, and then, I wanted to move
on.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">But then the
VMA's happen and Taylor sings her "I forgive you Kanye"
(tears*) song. I don't know exactly what to think about that one. On
one hand it could be a very magnanimous gesture to end the whole
thing, but then I cant help but think; come on, the guy was rude, he
didn't rob a bank ("You are not what you did".... ?????)
sounds like little Miss America's Sweet heart needs to get over her
self. It was a Moon man not a Pulitzer......Anywho, Yeezy did well in
his performance of a song none of us had ever heard and my glass was
definitely up, SALUD!!.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">So to the
video. Can anyone say splendiferous genius on film. I LOVE IT!. I had
previously proclaimed Jay Z's On To The Next One Video as the best I
had seen in a couple years, but Power is the Best Video Of All Time (
Kanye voice)*.</span></span></span></div>

some may read too little into the video; Kanye thinks he's a god,
there he goes on another Ego trip. Some may read too much; Devil
worshipper!! he said the clock is ticking!! 0_o. But isn't that a
bit too shallow for someone with a mind like Mr. West? The truth is a
lot less complicated than the occult and a lot more complex than Ego.
This video is insightful, it's 120 seconds of truth.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

and amazing Hip Hop, with drums and a base line that just slaps you
in the face. With samples from King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid
Man, its reminiscent of Stronger a few years back. Kanye is Smart,
forward thinking and not complacent, he brought it; real Hip Hop

video is an explanation of his lyrics, at face value he addresses his
"haters" with breath taking delivery and epic word play
that lets out his frustration and despite its length it speaks
volumes. To get the point you only have to look at one item in his
moving portrait. The sword of Damocles suspended above his head.
Damocles was a courtier of King Dionysius II of Sarycuse. He saw that
Damocles longed for glory, and offered to switch places for the day,
so Damocles could live as a King. The legend goes that Damocles took
full advantage - indulging in food, music, entertainment, sex, until
the day ended. He just so happened to look up and see a sharpened
sword poised directly above his head, suspended by a single
horse-hair. He suddenly lost his appetite for all the things he
loved; all the beautiful girls seemed cold and ugly; the food no
longer satisfied him. So he asked Dionysius to release him from the
nightmare; he no longer wanted to be privileged with such
fortune.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Dionysius
had successfully proven to Damocles a sense of the constant fear in
which even great men live in.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

If you have ever been to or seen photos of Japan's coast line, it will come as no surprise that it could well be among THE most stunning vistas on the planet.

They attempt to sell it as an innocent traditional activity, but there is so much going on that needs our attention. The ignorant mindless slaughter and torturing of Dolphins; mercury poising and the pimping of small bankrupt nations and third world countries that receive financial support from Japan in exchange for a vote in the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which (by the way) does not even acknowledge the massacre of an obscene number of Dolphins in Japan and worldwide each year. Dolphins are intelligent, self aware mammals and such indiscriminate, unregulated butchery of one of the few animals that truly make knowing human connection is something to be concerned about .</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>F</b></span>ortunately since the release of this film there have been some changes, however there is still plenty to be done and we can all contribute to the cause, whether it be a donation, education (spread the word) or front line work. you can visit their official website to make you contribution. </span><a href="http://www.takepart.com/thecove"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">http://www.takepart.com/thecove</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">A</span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">fter watching this documentary I felt it would have been sinful not to act.

(500) Days of summer is the most truthful romantic comedy I have ever seen. I absolutely fell in love with this movie, perhaps its Summer's quirky charm, or Tom's sweet likable-ness. Maybe it's the amazing cinematography and off beat editing that Indie films deliver, or maybe it's the near perfect sound track (the best since Juno). What ever it is, this movie is a must see, It shatters all the "rules" of the Hollywood romance and yet it is an honest look at having loved and lost. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tom the hopeless romantic falls in love with Summer, the girl who every other guy wants but can never have, the girl who believes that love isn't real. The cut and paste editing is a reflection of Tom's memory of his year and a half with Summer, in memory we choose what we want to remember. The film highlights the good and the bad of falling in love. We see how Tom suffers and looses his faith in love. And just like Tom one minute we love Summer and the next we think she's such a <s>bitch</s>. </i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The movie is full of heart and truth and soul.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">LIFE IS REALLY A TRIP. I'VE BEEN GONE FOR A MINUTE, BUT NOW I'M BACK WITH THE JUMP OFF. READY TO BLOG ONCE MORE. THINGS HAVE TAKEN MANY UNEXPECTED TURNS FOR ME DURING THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID THAT IT'S ALL GOOD, BUT I HAVE LEARNT SO VERY MUCH, ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT THE WORLD AND ABOUT HUMAN NATURE IN GENERAL; THAT PERHAPS I CAN SAY THAT IT'S MUCH BETTER, BETTER THAT IT WAS BEFORE [PLAYING POLLYANA'S GLAD GAME :) ].</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">EVEN SO, THE STRUGGLE IS ALWAYS WELCOME AFTER IT HAS LEFT. ONLY THEN CAN WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT'S MANY LESSONS, AND TAKE THE TIME TO CONVERT THE PAIN INTO GROWTH. SOMETIMES GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE NEED TO GO IS DIFFICULT AND SOMETIMES THE ROAD IS FILLED WITH SHARP STONES AND BRIERS, BUT TRUE AND SIGNIFICANT GROWTH HAPPENS DURING THESE PERILOUS JOURNEYS. YOU JUST ASK FRODO, MOUNT DOOM WAS TRULY A BITCH, AND MAYBE HE WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN, BUT SOME PAIN IS NECESSARY AND GOES BEYOND SELF. THE WISDOM AND STRENGTH GAINED AT THE END OF IT ALL, MAKES THE WHOLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE SOMEHOW WORTH IT. (ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE FRODO WOULD DISAGREE WITH ME)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">AND YET, ON THE ROAD OF LIFE THERE ARE NO DEAD ENDS, WHERE ONE STORY ENDS ANOTHER BEGINS, AND THE FIGHT EVER ONGOING, SO GAME FACE ON, LIGHT FOOTED AND SMILING HEART I AM READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD.</span><br />

The camera movements are pretty simple but that is only to accommodate the striking imagery, a mix of art and pop culture that obviously makes a strong statement.

I've recently returned home from a long stay away. In my country, Jamaican dancehall is a major part of the music scene and lifestyle of a lot of young people. For the most part the lyrical content are usually either sexual, violent or sexually violent. I would love to pretend that we all know that these are just lyrics, but sadly I have been proven wrong time and time again.<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Both young women and some not sooo young men are convinced ( it seems by </em></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JunSrW3Mgg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>this music</em></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>) that when it comes to sex, girls must want their cuchies "daggered", "beaten", "pounded", "stabbed" and other such violent variations of homicidal vocabulary. But it doesn’t end there, this same daggered and beaten private part must still stay tight, and with sufficient control over the elasticity of her vaggie muscles the female in possession of said organ must be able to "quint it pon de edge". Ohhhh yeah... it means exactly what you think it does.<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>I totally understand the need for the occasional rough kinky sex (the vex sex as a good friend calls it) I mean no one likes monotony especially when it comes to the nookie, but ya'll cant be serious, this is not and should not be the standard. If you have that starbox, having it pounded on such a regular basis would definitely depreciate your starbox value. But damn, even if you aren't one of the chosen few, allowing someone to treat your vagina like a piece of </em></span><a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/conch"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>conch</em></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>, or “a child who has done something wrong” can not only be unhealthy mentally and physically but ruins any chances of you having a twat worth fucking anyway.<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Ladies, your pu**y is a place for pleasure, a place where you can find joy, a place that should be nurtured and cared for, and not only by your man but also by your self.

Just cause you ain't got a man, don’t mean that you can't take care of her your self, after all practice makes perfect,(and you don’t need a whole team to practice, you can shoot the hoops all by your self) on the other hand f***ing every Tom, Dick or Harry that you find cute won’t cut it either. You've got to start respecting yourselves and your vaginas will respect you.

The story was complete </span><span style="font-style: normal;">and the characters were clearly defined yet there was some ambiguity about them that had to do with their life situation. If you haven't seen it yet I wont spoil it for you, all I would say is that it was as deserving of its golden globes as Heath Ledger was of his Oscar (!YEAH!!!).</span></div>

Anyway after we turned off the computer and snuggled in to bed I couldn't fall asleep. Something about the movie was picking at my brain. You see earlier that evening I was reading a book by H.D Lawrence called the 'Plumed Serpent'. I hadn't gotten very far, chapter 3 to be exact, but it was obvious that a central theme in the novel was identity. This book tackled the strange dark ambiguity of Mexico and Mexicans and their seemingly lack and search of an identity.</div>

You see you wouldn't quite get it unless you've lived there, but Mexicans are a very strange and contradicting people. They are complacent yet always against something, always protesting an “injustice”. They are lazy <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWNHdo_2WOzYCRhP9zUkXC4cYSSh61CtFfm7gL03RFxF1H39HfPBl8Iz3qNhneJxhSHp_HTw27cuCcGBTx-na3PlYA2S0u3PhdX6D_sAsPl98NxnjyEkJbTKP9pQ2CAJT2f6dmIXrxTCY/s1600-h/the+plumed+serpent.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298066628163693362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWNHdo_2WOzYCRhP9zUkXC4cYSSh61CtFfm7gL03RFxF1H39HfPBl8Iz3qNhneJxhSHp_HTw27cuCcGBTx-na3PlYA2S0u3PhdX6D_sAsPl98NxnjyEkJbTKP9pQ2CAJT2f6dmIXrxTCY/s400/the+plumed+serpent.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 203px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 151px;" /></a>but most of them work 6 days a week sun up to sun down. Their favorite saying is !Viva Mexico! But here there is so much death not just of the body but also of the soul. They do not know who they are, and thus can never be congruent in their actions.</div>

<div align="left" style="font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">There seemed to be a slightly similar thing happening in 'Slum Dog Millionaire'. There is a struggle with identity that equally is not so much on a personal basis </span></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">but on a national level. The whole of India is caught up with the implications of identity, caught up in the web of labels and stereotypes so much that people do not even know who they are, only who they are supposed to be.</span></div>

</style> <br />
<div align="left" style="font-family: georgia; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I began to think about my own identity, about where I came from, my roots. My thoughts drifted to my ancestors. To who they were before they were sold into slavery, what their names were, what they did for a living, where they had lived. I thought about their forced journey, their lives as slaves and how they lived after 1833. I wondered about how their blood came down through time to reach to me, and if they were in some place looking down on me.</div>

<span style="font-style: normal;">It made me think in my father, a Rastaman whose dream it is to reach the shores of the land of his ancestors. And for the first time I truly understood how he feels. That night I had a hole inside me that I felt could not be filled unless I had something more to hold on to than a history of slavery and vague stories of a great civilizations. I understood then the drive Alex Heley had to find out where he had come from. It seemed to be the only thing that could complete me.</span></div>

<div align="left" face="georgia" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> </span><span style="font-style: normal;">Deep down I think we all need that sense of connection to something that could define us, that could give us a sense of origin and identity. Marcus Garvey once said; “For man to know himself is for him to feel that for him there is no human master” I supposed that being dominated for so many centuries by others had taken away my identity. I felt no bitterness nor hate, just an insatiable need to know.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-style: italic;">We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman';">- Jean Cocteau</span></div>
<br />
Are there random events? This philosophical, religious, scientific and spiritual debate has given us many logical and magical answers to the enigma of chance and randomness. As you may well imagine, scientist can prove with their equations that there are indeed random events. The decay of radioactive material and other sub atomic processes are random, although governed by statistical laws there are no clear evidence of action and reaction. That is: what cannot be seen under a microscope or explained using numbers, symbols and jargon normal people will never understand or find interesting, will be considered as random until further notice. I say until further notice because we all know that science (the great gift to humanity that it is) is not infallible.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, for less lineal thinkers, science will never be able to explain the substance of the universe, how beautiful blue days end in golden dimness, or at what hour the milk man decides to get up. It is unable to explain free will or examine and measure the hearts and thoughts of men. Science is unable to explain meaning. In a spiritual universe there is constant action and reaction, where is there room for randomness?<br />
<br />
Every thing happens because something made it happen. From a religious perspective the reason for all is an almighty creator, Allah, Buddha, the Christian God, his Son Jesus and their mortal enemy Lucifer, the Jewish God, Selassie, Brahma, Zeus, etc. Here faith gives meaning to everything.<br />
<br />
From the perspective of reason, one can deduce that if the universe was created from energy (the source yet scientifically unknown), that would imply cause and effect, and thus an absence of randomness. It is known that the universe was in a far hotter and denser state than it is now. The current state is the result of constant expansion due to cooling, again action and reaction. Now holding in mind that the definition of the universe is “everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them, or in a slightly different contextual sense, denoting such concepts as the cosmos, the world or Nature;” i.e. everything. There fore it is reasonable to assume that everything in existence is the result of something else and thus is not random. The question of scientific proof is strictly another.<br />
<br />
In a magical universe, very similar to a religious one, there are things that exist that are beyond our reason, beyond science and even beyond the tangible -ness of our world. From this perspective the explanation is even less relevant. Things just are and every thing from the sands of the ocean to the dreams that you have at night are connected. The act of existence is the explanation. Luck and randomness are just simply terms used to cover huge gray gaps in human understanding. The factors involved are numerous and largely unknown, but never random.<br />
<br />
The question of luck or chance or randomness is an old one, and one I believe will never be reduced to one universal explanation. But the above was my take on it all, and in a nutshell, to make my opinion clear, I do not believe in luck or randomness. My reason is neither religious nor scientific, it’s just how I feel. I suppose that that would qualify as magical. I can't have lived the life that I have, and not believe that there is a connection between all things physical and intangible,nor can i believe that everything can be explained by us, humans who only know and use a small part of our own physical and mental resources.<br />

Simply cause I'm so darn tired most of the time. So I really prefer going to the movies instead of waiting for the DVD release, although sometimes you know we have no choice. Anyway the two best movies I've seen recently were Reign Over Me (2007) and The Dark Knight (2008).</span><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong><span style="color:#990000;"></span></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong><span style="color:#990000;">LET IN THE UNEXPECTED<br /></span></strong><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczFsp7tVaYBCfxXB8NmeCrR-RNG1tnozj1NRnDBfRj96xDBvHLbu3RZjTnzArrsK0t4f9Q_ynjLnadZktVr6dfeawXqfU64i0JsA1XfaN1-kmRUtjSKBUOIdi_tGUehYtXqYWabHkNZA/s1600-h/ReignOverMeMoviePoster.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251173164176753218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 322px" height="334" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczFsp7tVaYBCfxXB8NmeCrR-RNG1tnozj1NRnDBfRj96xDBvHLbu3RZjTnzArrsK0t4f9Q_ynjLnadZktVr6dfeawXqfU64i0JsA1XfaN1-kmRUtjSKBUOIdi_tGUehYtXqYWabHkNZA/s320/ReignOverMeMoviePoster.jpg" width="273" border="0" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;"><strong>MOVIE:</strong> Reign Over (Me 2007)<br /><strong>IMDB RATING:</strong> 7.8/10<br /><strong>DIRECTOR:</strong> Mike Binder<br /><strong>WRITER:</strong> Mike Binder<br /><strong>STARING:</strong> Adam Sandler<br />Don Cheadle<br />Jada Pinkett Smith<br />Liv Tyler<br /></div></span><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;">Sometimes we all get lost and need someone to help us along. That is what this movie is about. I was so inspired by Sandler's performance, as he played a rattled and fragile character who hides away from the world to deal with his profound grief. His scooter, his head phones ans his video games are Charlie's escape. But there comes a time when we all must face our nightmares in order to move on. Alan Johnson (Cheadle), plays a man who is also lost, but lost in what he has, Charley on the other hand is lost in what he has lost. They both help each other to find their way. “Reign Over Me” is an amazing movie, the story is almost perfectly supported by the acting. I was truly touched by it's messages. It is definitely worth the watch.</span></div><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sRiqz_WnYxc&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sRiqz_WnYxc&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;"><strong>WHY SO SERIOUS?</strong> </span></div><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcF5U68VwmGqjAi-515bGDooGk1R4eoCAPko_I1_GOkcGDB1QWNEBje7JUQsRpX5a3yTMI9BQjmXJfOuVMJaFl-pnfEzcy4JgtqxTAx6LBznoiMqzkrpGK3rHtXyiza6WuA14dKHB9VRE/s1600-h/batman.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251178529737968466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcF5U68VwmGqjAi-515bGDooGk1R4eoCAPko_I1_GOkcGDB1QWNEBje7JUQsRpX5a3yTMI9BQjmXJfOuVMJaFl-pnfEzcy4JgtqxTAx6LBznoiMqzkrpGK3rHtXyiza6WuA14dKHB9VRE/s320/batman.bmp" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;">MOVIE: The Dark Knight (2008)<br />IMDB RATING: 9.5 /10 (#1 )<br />DIRECTOR: Christopher Nolan<br />WRITER: Johnathan Nolan & Christopher Nolan<br />STARING: Christian Bale<br />Micheal Caine<br />Heath Ledger<br />Aaron Eckhart<br />Morgan Freeman<br />Maggie Gyllenhaal<br /></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;">Chaos is unleashed in Gotham by a psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy. Batman and Harvey Dent are driven to their limits when forced to deal with this anarchy. I was blown away by Nolan's sublime directing, the pacing of this movie was so well paced, managing to keep the audience enthralled for 3 hours. Every actor shines, but Ledger's performance was surprisingly excellent by any standards. The Broke Back Mountain actor transformed himself into the most terrifying Joker ever seen. The movie was not just another super hero flick, its deeply philosophical themes which follows from “Batman Begins” puts a new twist on action movies. If u haven't seen it yet........ well you are missing a part of 'good movie' history.</span></div><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UWw0ov-cAUg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UWw0ov-cAUg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Favorites <br />1.
