My Prediction for 2007

As we enter a New Year people tend to make prediction about what the New Year will hold, how technology will increase, and how the world will develop as a whole. Many of these predictions are based on past years, and growth in industry. Since the rise of civilizations, people have looked toward the future. Here are some of my predictions for 2007:

• The World Wide Web community will continue to grow, more and more people will go online, and legislation regulating the web will die; the web is a place where ideas can be exchanged freely.


• The organization, One Laptop Per Child, takes off, and supply's millions of disenfranchised children world wide, and people slowly, catch onto the idea (One Laptop Per Child)


• With the demise of Saddam Hussein, President Bush sends more troops to squelch the civil war in Iraq. President Bush's place in history is cemented


• Each person will become more independent, and there will be a growth of virtual web communities, such as Second Life (Second Life, and Bebo will become the new Myspace.


• In the year 2007, if you don't have a blog, a vlog, or a myspace page you are out of the loop. Everyone will be tuned in to the World Wide Web.

An Interpretation of Classic Fairy Tales

I remember when I was a child my mother would read me tales of Little Red Riding Hood, and Little Miss Muffet; those tales were never this creative. This video represents a mesh of creativity and skill. One of my favorite lines is by the wolf "Oh, we got a god dam genius here, I can also sing and tap dance too...” It is a creative interpretation on children’s classics. I hope you enjoy it.

My friend produced the video. I met her while I was a student in college, and now she is a student at Georgia State University seeking a degree in film. From the production value and content of this video, it seems she will go far in the field. I would wish her the best of luck, but I do not think she needs it.

Complete Saddam Hussein Execution Video

This video is very graphic. It represents the end to a brutal dictator. Countless families were not afforded the right to a trial under his tyranny

Execution of Saddam Hussein

The video has been released.

Saddam Hussein, 1937 - 2006

Some people in the world who are completely evil; Saddam Hussein personified evil in the 1980's. There are many tyrants in the world today. Saddam Hussein was a ruthless dictator who tore apart thousands of families. The murder of 148 Shiites in 1982 lead to the demise of the former dictator. Justice was served today.

48 Hours Left in 2006 Oh My

I will miss the year 2006. There are a lot have been many advances in my life. For instance, I purchased a new car, graduated college, moved (twice), got a full time position, and decided to go back to college. Man, time flew by this year.

I am looking forward to next year, who knows what dreams may come. I am slowly anticipating being showered with many new accouterments to my lifestyle.

New Years is a very good time. It is a time when everyone, no matter what their disagreements might be, can get together and bask in holiday cheers. I don't have many plans; I rarely make plans for the nights ahead, but instead, rely on spontaneity to direct my actions. However, I am going to a sublime party; I will relax with old friends, and make new ones, as the night progresses.

One thing that I love is making New Years resolutions. I try not to break them each year, but something just comes up, honestly. I think this year will be different. Here is a quick list of some of my New Years resolutions:

• Run everyday


• At least meet one new person everyday (I realize this is a lot to do, and I have not really defined what consists of a "meet". Nonetheless, it will be fun.)


• Read at one book every two week (this past year I as in the habit of reading one book a week, sadly, I was not consistent.)

I am curious, what is the percentage of people who follow their New Years resolutions; it is quite low I imagine. Anyway, there is a crude run down of my resolutions, and this year I plan to follow them each day.

Shakespeare Quote of the Day

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time;
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
-Macbeth

Three Days After Christmas

Well, it is three days after Christmas, and so much as happened around the world. We have lost several great giants this week; one was the godfather of soul and the other a former president. President Gerald Ford was 93 years old; he was the oldest surviving president.


One interesting fact of President Gerald Ford is that he was not elected to the office of Vice President or President of the United States. Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned amid a bribery scandal, giving President Nixon the power to choose the next vice president. President Richard Nixon resigned, over the Watergate scandal, making Vice President Gerald Ford President.



The shock of the passing of James Brown, on Christmas morning reverberated throughout the day. He ushered in an era of soul and rock, which gave new artists many opportunities. He will always be remembered as the godfather of soul and the hardest workingman in show business.

Two Days Until Santa Day

That is right, I said Santa Day. I forgo the usual name of Christmas. While I am not religious by any sense, I do enjoy giving and receiving presents. Also, there is something about a man dressed in a red outfit crawling down my chimney.

Santa Day is almost upon us, and I am so excited. I am done buying my gifts, I am armed with a pocket full of mistletoe (just for the ladies), and I am anxious to visit my family; It will be fun. I just hope I don't drown in the eggnog.

Here is a short list of the things I asked Santa for:

• At the very top of my list is a new opportunities. I have been bogged down in the same rut for about a year, and while I enjoy my friends, I feel it is time to move to greener pastures. Another thing that perturbs me is my ridiculous schedule.


• I am sure all my readers know about my coffee snobbery. It is one of my many pleasures to indulge in a fine cup of Joe. To make the season just right and nice I asked for a gift card to Caribou Coffee. There coffee selection is outstanding.


• I thought about wishing for world peace, but life would be so dull and boring without two nations wanting to annihilate one another. Think about it, how many times do people wish for world peace, and it never happens.


• Lets see, I've already said a new opportunities, right?


• I have always wanted, the book, Tuesdays With Morrie. Oh, wait a minute, one of my co-workers got me that in our secret Santa. Well, at least, I wish I could say he took the time to wrap it. What an awful gift.
  

That is all I can think of at this at this time and place. Two more days and then I will be blogging all about my presents.

Warm Wishes from the Miss USA Organization

More on Miss USA

In my opinion, Donald Trump should buckle up and take the crown away from Miss USA. It is bad enough that she is s a superficial role model for millions of girls. It is a disaster waiting to happen, now that drugs and alcohol are in the mix.

Donald Trump, while being a semi smart businessman, realizes the power of a media storm surrounding the Miss USA competition. Nevertheless, Tara Conner breaches her contract, and is a bad influence on millions of young women across the nation.

It is a shame that we live in a world where there is such a thing as a Miss USA, and that she does influence millions of girls. However, I see no remedy to this problem; millions of people tune in and flock to see Miss USA, and thereby creating revenue. It would be a great thing if Trump took the crown away. In my heart, she does not represent my Miss USA, nor has she ever represented Miss USA.

What I did last night

Last night, with a little help from Time magazine, I joined Second Life. Second life is an interactive world where people create avatars and interact with one another; it is a game. As a twenty, something I rarely indulge in video games, nor do I take the time to join online fantasy games. However, last night I was a bit bored. While looking for a solution to my boredom, an article in Time magazine lead me to the website www.secondlife.com.

At first, the idea of interacting with strangers, over the web, was a bit puzzling, but in a few moments, I was hooked. It is something about being incognito that attracts me to the whole realm. However, I do not think I will become enamored with the curious delusions of the world of Second Life. I think that life in the real world is just fine.

Nevertheless, there are a myriad of different and intriguing personalities playing about in the World Wide Web. I can think of several reasons a person would want to enter an online community and leave the realities of the world alone. It is not for me to list the reasons why someone would find solace in an online community. People should decide that for themselves.

At this point, I have not come to a decision as to rather I am going to close my free account. There are some benefits, for example, I can find more readers for my blog; one of the main reasons I joined.

A Hilarious Valentines Day Idea

Earlier this weekend, while out meeting new and exciting people, this person told me of this hilarious idea. The idea is to put together a Christmas album. That is right, I said a Christmas album by yours truly. It would have been so much fun, if only I had thought about it sooner. Nevertheless, I have the equipment, and I might produce one for Valentines Day. I will sing all the romantic classics, and pass it out to every girl I see in my travels. It will be so much fun.

It's that time again

Shopping malls are packed, throughout the nation, with consumers dying to find the one perfect gift. Just the other day, I heard of a story of a young woman waiting in line for five hours for a Nintendo Wii. I mean it is just a video game system.

The nature of gift giving lifts the human spirit up in times of distress. A gift can show a person how much you care about them and that you do listen to their wants and needs. However, for the most part, it is the sense that you are a good person when you give a gift to someone. Not to generalize people, but a large majority of people give gifts simply because it makes themselves feel better as a person. Does it matter that a person gives a gift to someone just to raise their emotional levels? I say, no. As a human being, I do what makes me happy; it is a natural human instinct.

However, this season will come and go, loved ones will cherish their gifts moments at a time, and we will do it all over again next year. It really is a good feeling to give a gift to someone. I myself will give a meaningful gift to a person, because of that I consider myself a caring and good person. I just need to find the right gift.

In the coffee shop (The Sweater)

It is very hard for me to observe people in the position I am sitting in at the coffee shop; however right beside me is a much older woman. She is dressed in a sweater with different colored flowers, dark black pants, and her hair short and gray, and on her left hand is a wedding ring. I have unobstructed view of her laptop, right now she perusing her I tunes collection and playing solitaire. Wow, I really cannot think of anything more boring to do in a coffee shop than playing solitaire. Oh well, to each their own. Ok, let me give her a fashion tip, that sweater is killing me. I mean I must be decades old. I think I will just adjust my eyes back to my computer screen, go on jamming to some George Michael, and watching the latest episode of Walk Texas Ranger (I love that show

A Soul Search

Most recently to my dismay, people have been quietly discovering my mind’s eye, coming to correct conclusions, and piercing my emotional armor. I have always had the luxury of finding solace in the fact that I keep to myself.

It might strike you odd that I would keep a blog; it has always been easier to me to confide in those who cannot harm my emotional spirit. Yes, that's right, I said emotional spirit. As a man, I am proud to claim that I have great emotional range. However, not many people know my true self. Perhaps it is because I am afraid of what they might think, how they might respond, or if they will understand me.

As a child, it was natural for me ignore those who attempt to harm me with their comments. However, for the most part, they do hurt. I am puzzled at how a person can emotionally pin me; to be honest, it worries me. When I am frightened, I often close people off and bury myself deep in my shell; I am thinking about doing it, but I really do not want to hurt anyone. Maybe it will be better if I open up to people. I do not know, but nobody knows me as if I know myself.

Obsession

Everybody from your Mother to your uncle has an obsession; rather it is with mysterious creature of the night, or an artist fallen on hard times.

Lately, I have been sitting down in the mornings at some local coffee shop writing while enjoying the sounds of George Michael. Mostly I enjoy his days of Wham. "Wake Me Up Before you Go" can lift my spirit no matter what puts me down. If fact, as I sit down and type I have Mr. George Michael Playing in my I Pod.

It is true; recently he has had several hard times. However, I don't judge artists based on their public persona. Personally, I believe that hard times can be very beneficial to a person’s personality. I tend not to judge others, because I fear they might judge me.

A small Poem (The Sea of Life)

I am enshrouded by shadows on all sides, an ever flowing stream of despair.
The blissful tranquility that once was ceases to be. All is lost.
Complexities are born from my mind’s eye.
Drifting into the dark and dangerous sea of life.

The day is composed of soft smiles and bold frowns.
At night, the air grows cold.
Sentiments taken from days long past.
No regrets to be acquired or lost.

The cold chill of the air peers into my spine.
A serene image of dandelions fills my imagination.
The soothing touch of nothingness presses against my body.
Taken against the tide in the sea of life.

I will seldom publish my poetry in my blog.

In the Coffee Shop (Stressed and Pressed for Time)

It's that time again. I am back at the coffee shop, observing the scene, and drawing odd conclusions about my fellow patrons. With the weather outside being as chilly as it is, everyone is dressed to the nines in comfort and warmth; I, myself, donned a sweater and a blazer. That is beside the point. At this time of day everyone is busying themselves in front of a computer.

It's obvious that the dark haired lady next to me is under some kind of pressure to finish her report for school. Her sunglasses are frozen atop her pony-tailed hair. She is conspicuously dressed for comfort. While I admire her tenacity and concentration I can't help feel some kind of empathy toward her woes. Deadlines and school can be a tough and often uncompromising journey.

I think the stress factor is starting to set in, a few moments ago she jumped up from her chair, exited the establishment, and started to do jumping jacks on the stairs. If only I could take some of the stress away. Her self-composure assures me she posses and air of intelligence, and the red nail polish adorns her recently manicured nails reflects a sense of rebellion.

One can only speculate as to what is running through her mind. I think the atmosphere and the rush one gets from a warm cup of coffee is starting to seep into her unconsciousness. She is spinning in a myriad of directions; the stress is coming to a boil.

I fear that a soft whisper would do nothing but wreak her beyond repair. In such a situation, any form of approach I take can only end with a hard slap to my face. A cold chill would fill her heart, and the emotional impact of such an incident would leave me in utter chaos. So, I will forego the usually witty banter. Although, I can think of, some advice to offer in times of stress, and that is life only gets better as it progresses. Sure, it’s going to be stressful, but you learn to coup with the hard times.

The Reminiscer

As I sip a glass of bold Merlot I reminisce about the previous nights encounter, the free flowing conversation, and soft glances. At first I was caught up with an intense feeling of nervousness, it was the fear of meeting someone for the first time. She could easily recognize my nervous ticks. It was wonderful, to be engaged in witty banter throughout the night.

It's not easy for me to meet new people; I don't have many friends nor do I feel I should have many. I often find most people confusing, dry, or dull. However, the person I met was full of life and spontaneity. As I casually write this personal blog, I wonder what she will think of this blog or me as a person? It's not easy being a shy mid twenty year old with boyish charm and energetic charisma.

I don't put much stock into fads such as myspace.com nor do I casually meet people on a whim over the Internet. However, I took a chance; if anything, I will have something quite imaginative to write about. Nevertheless, I am glad to say that the meeting went well, and I can only hope for future encounters.

I can tell by the empty glass on the table that it is time for a refill, and thus I must put a hold on my raves and rants until tomorrow. Till then, I hope you enjoy.

It is almost 2:30 A.M. why can't I sleep. Is it because I had an amazing night? (more on that later). Anyway, as I said, its 2:30AM here and I am still awake, surfing the net and blogging. I think I should stop and go to sleep; I tried to sleep, but failed. I will try once more to fall asleep. I think I can do it if I concentrate.

A Plaguing Thought

Whatever happened to the quaint true hopes of the idealistic mind? This question is plaguing my conscious at this time of night. In the, most brilliant, world of ours, being an idealist or a progressive is a rather harsh label. Once bestowed upon a person, the label is not easily removed. However, society could use more idealism and accept progressivism as a form of growth.

I peer into the eyes of people of my generation and I find neither the idealistic tact nor the vociferous lure of progressiveness. It is a constant struggle with ones generation, when they are perceived at the fringe of society. The right labels such individuals as "liberals", and they tend to comment on how we are ineffective in combating terrorism. Well, my dear friends, I am happy to be labeled "liberal".

Within several years, there should be a great debate in this country; do we let religion define us as a nation or rather freedom from religion? I am a secularist; it is my belief that humanity can accomplish limitless feats with its perseverance, and intelligence. Socratic questioning is called for in this matter. An individual must question everything.

A Uneasy Utterance

The word, "disturbing", shattered my world tonight, or rather it was the soft sound of the voice that uttered the fateful word. A dark haired beauty, which I have sometimes confided in and tend to share ideas with, called my blog "disturbing" tonight; sharing her same view was another co-worker. While I admit my writings and happenings are a bit unique, "disturbing" connotes a form of morbidity.

Most of my prose can be described as unique or idealistic; I wear both names and their connotations with pride. If my sense of humor frightens or repels readers I can't help it. I have never changed my writing style or inclinations to certain topics based on what one-person labels them.

Nevertheless, I could never hold a grudge against people as intoxicatingly intelligent as my co-workers. I honestly hope my readers will look on pontifications with an open mind, and will accept my humor just as that, a sense of humor.

Every Now and Then

Every now and then, when I take a trip to the local coffee shop, I am mystified by the presence of so many of my fellow coffee drinkers. So, here I am, sitting at the closest table to an outlet; I am typing away without a care in the world. Patrons of the coffee shop are busying themselves in one activity or another. Some are engaged in banter, others are glued to a laptop; they seldom peer in the direction of fellow customers.

At the drink fountain there is a smartly dressed businesswoman; I am assuming she is on her way to a very important meeting with very important people. Nowadays people seldom take the time to notice those around them. It is so funny watching people casually place their orders stoically wait, and then go about their day. Sadly, the crowd is starting to disperse. The business suite lady left, the gentleman with the bight pants is gone, and no more fifteen people remain in the coffee shop.

Wow, check out those bight green pants on the gentleman that just entered; I might go blind as the sunlight reflects from the pants back into my eyes. However, in a moment, he is gone out the door; my eyesight returns.

Gauging by the time on my watch, I must leave. For my regular day job is calling me. Support you local coffee shop.

In the Coffee Shop (A Chance Encounter)

As I sit and surf, the maze of the World Wide Web, at my local Caribou Coffee house out of the corner of my eyes I spot a mesmerizing creature slumped over her laptop. She is needlessly typing away without a care in the world for yours truly. I wonder, to myself, if her cup houses a house blend, or rather something more adventurous. The computer screen in front of her represents an aura of energy, and I long to take a peek at her flat screen. My mind flutters; perhaps she is lost in a paper about World Squash titleholders. She should look at this information:The World Squash Federation. I would think this information would be useful, if one were to be writing a report about the World Squash Championships. However, perhaps she is enthralled at reading my blog, owe the myriad of thoughts racing through my mind.

My gosh, she is standing directly in front of me, the goose bumps on the back of my neck are at a standstill. My eyes wonder to the concoction in her cup, and by my amazement, it is hot chocolate. Oh, my heart could leap an ocean to come crashing into her longing arms. But alas, just as simply as she got up, she returns to her seat; her attention is back to the computer screen. Oh my goodness, the rapture of it all.

My heart pounds, as I look at the time on my clock; it is almost time for work. In a few minutes I will have to leave the her, and probably will never see her again, such is the cold hard reality to love. As I peer in her direction my mind goes blank. I see her lingering eyes in my direction. I wonder, is she employed around here, or does she workout at the L.A. Fitness next to the coffee shop. My imagination plays out a chance encounter. I am sad to report that it does not end well.
Our chance encounter would go something like this:

Me: "Oh, excuse me."
Lady: "I am sorry."
Me: "I think I know you from the coffee shop across the street."
Lady: "its nice to meet you."
Me: "um, well you kind of took my breath away."
Lady: "I have a boyfriend."
Me: "Well, can he do this?"

In my tight work out shorts, I bust a move and suddenly run across the gym to the balancing beams. As I run pass the beams I gather my strength and casually stand up on one of the beams. I run across the beam; just as I began to dismount, I accidentally trip, the beam ends up waged between my legs. A loud scream is heard throughout the gym. Just as the ambulance is pulling up, I see her walking away holding hand with another guy.

A list of cleaver blogs

Here is a list of thirty blogs that you might not know existed. I have found one or two good ones to bookmark, and I am passing the knowlege onto you. Link

Walker Texas Ranger

Whatever happened to the Chuck Norris I grew up with? Sure, he was not the best actor, but he was ruthless and worked for a small outfit called Delta Force. The Chuck Norris of Delta Force would never be so phony or cheesy. Note to self, never, and I mean never, perform your own theme song for your pseudo action series.

Nevertheless, my hat goes off to Chuck Norris for staying in the game Karate professionals turned terrible actors.

The Wire

Every Sunday night, I gather around the television to watch the engaging drama of HBO's The Wire. The series takes place in the streets of Baltimore, and encompasses the police, "corner kids", the school system, and the local government. As the drama unfolds the viewer gets a realistic image of what can happen in the aftermath of bureaucratic fumbles. Each episode is built upon layers of details; the details all add up to a gritty climax.

I would argue that The Wire is one the best shows on American television. Its raw dynamism plays out every Sunday night. Everyone, no matter race or religion, can draw meanings from watching The Wire play out. The Wire represents countless fledgling cities. However, one of the most poignant aspects to The Wire is its uncanny truth about Baltimore.

While growing up with the accouterments of a well to do family in a city that is right and diverse, I can't imagine what it must be like living in a place like Baltimore. The Wire portrays Baltimore as a fledgling bureaucratic mess, and is an enigma lost in the American dream. Baltimore ranks second, in the United States, for crime, The drug distribution is one of the worst in the country, and the illiteracy rate is 1 of 7. More information on Baltimore

A New Day

For the past several days I have been melancholic stupor with a disdain for humanity. Several days ago I received rather disappointing news that I did not get into the graduate school of my choice. This news sent chills throughout my body; for months I had my hopes set on attending my first choice of graduate school. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Presently, I am looking for other program, graduate or undergraduate that would compliment my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I am thinking about a studying business or some other form of the arts; I am not sure at this point.

A few tidbits about my life

Here is a list of five facts about yours truly:

• I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, I am twenty-four years old, and I am currently single.



• I have a bachelor of fine arts in Digital Media Production from the Art Institute of Atlanta; I am a filmmaker.


• I despise my mundane corporate job with a passion. My only hope is soon it will change.
  


• I have been thinking about going back to school. My first inclination was to study communications, but alas, I did was not accepted to the school of my choice. At this point I am contemplating pursuing another undergraduate degree in business administration.


• In the coming months, I intend to produce a documentary, but I am having a hard time choosing an interesting subject matter. If any readers have suggestions, feel free to post them as a comment.
