Making the concious decision to move on in life can become a very daunting task. Regardless of how strong, independent and aggressive we are in certain aspects of our lives, it can become difficult to finally decide to leave a job, friendship, romantic bond, family member or extended opportunity behind. Sometimes, however, walking away from someone or something that is no longer fruitful to our lives and well being is the best and only decision that can be made.
The one element that stands in the way of people making the decision to MOVE ON from governing life situations is FEAR.
People fear being lonely. People fear stepping into territory that is unfamiliar and potentially challenging to the everyday, mundane comforts that once framed their pedestrian lives. People remain in relationships, friendships and on certain jobs simply because of the YEARS that have already been invested. We condition ourselves to believe that longevity equates to a healthy match, and quite honestly, it does not.
Once a situation presents itself where as an individual you are beginning to question WHY certain people still exist in your life or WHY you have begun to settle for circumstances that are beneath your character, it’s time to move on.
We tend to want to WAIT until everything is aligned, as so our moving on process is smooth and without challenge. Meanwhile, we neglect to pay attention to the fact that life doesnt present an easy way out of an unhealthy situation. Once the mind begins to filter thoughts and signals through the body that a particular person or situation has reached its peak, we must begin making plans to remove ourselves from those specific circumstances.
It is unfair to place guilt upon yourself for choosing to soar above and beyond the people, places and things that presently have you bound. It is no longer your responsibility to worry about how others are going to survive in your absence. It is no longer your responsibility to worry about how certain tasks on the job are going to be completed if you resign. You can’t concern yourself with who is going to take care of him, her, this, that or the other once you’ve made the decision to make a significant change in your life.
Moving on is not as bad a phrase as people sometimes make it seem. We often times pray for a window of opportunity, and then become fearful to climb through it once it has been opened. If we feed into the hands that are created to hold us back, we shall never reach our ultimate destiny.
Move on to create the life for yourself that in your heart and in your spirit, you know that you deserve.
Monday night, a young woman by the name of Sara spoke to a reporter standing outside of the LADY GAGA concert that she attended. Sara told the reporter that Lady GaGa’s tour manager approached she and her friend who were sitting on the front row of the sold out showcase.
Sara’s friend designed a bra that have the words FREE BITCH plastered across it. Apparently, the tour manager was so impressed with the bra that he asked Sara and her friend if he could photograph it for a concert tour book that GaGa and her team are creating for the fans. Naturally, Sara and her friend obliged his request.
The BELOW POSTED VIDEO FOOTAGE is of GaGa’s tour manager actually snapping the photo, so how valid Sara’s story?…Im unsure.
Meanwhile, it would be a smart marketing move on GaGa’s behalf to release this compilation of random, creative photos. She isnt set to release new music until the dawn of 2011, and Im sure ALL of the little monsters would desperately want the booklet this fall. They will sell in seconds. GaGa has become a cult-like character of her own monster movement.
International Pop/Rock band, N.E.R.D, led by my absolute favorite heartthrob, PHARRELL, held an impromptu listening party in London.
The group decided to open the doors of their London based PRESENT shop; home to the Billionaire Boys Club clothing line, and allow the public to hear the entire new NOTHING album.
No details have been offered regarding which tracks were best received by the music listeners and other N.E.R.D fans. However, Pharrell has promised that the entire album will be played AGAIN in New York City on September 10th. The band is hosting a FASHION’S NIGHT OUT event at their SoHo shop.
As far as I remember, for my notes arent in front of me as Im making this post, I believe N.E.R.D’s eagerly anticipated NOTHING album drops on September 21st now. I could be wrong. IF the album’s September 21st date is a mishap, then the project is still set for release on September 7th.
As we near the official end of summer, LABOR DAY WEEKEND celebrations, I think it’s the perfect time of year to welcome in the ‘New Booty’. GRINCHE SMILE.
When I reference NEW BOOTY, Im simply eluding to the idea of the new man or new woman who shall enter your life between now and the break of the Fall season. For those of us who have managed to remain single during this present summer, there’s no better way to transition into jackets, thin sweaters and courderoys than to have NEW BOOTY to help you fit comfortably into it all.
The element surrounding NEW BOOTY that is rather appealing is that stage of getting to know someone new on the basis of free will and no associated drama. In most circumstances, NEW BOOTY comes with very little baggage, and presents an emotional and spiritual escape from the mundane activities that have framed the hot, summer months.
This is the time of year where change is happening everywhere. Classes are set to begin at schools across the country. Elections are igniting to place new politicians into office. Our favorite television shows return for a new season. The major, big budget action films are being replaced in theaters by the cozy, romantic comedies. The days will seem to end quicker, as the sun will set three hours earlier. Trees turn into a chromatic spectrum of renewed life, it seems. With all of these physical, everyday changes comes a certain yearning to have someone special and new in our lives, beyond friends and family.
People ASSUME that the only way to meet NEW BOOTY is to seek them inside of a club or an online dating service. The reality is that many healthy and fruitful romantic bonds can ignite from small exchanges in the grocery store, a Saturday morning museum visit, various happy hour networking sessions, or even some of the festive, wine tasting events that are held across the country during this time of year.
Don’t sell yourself short in ACCEPTING the notion that NEW BOOTY has to come to you.
It’s sometimes when we’re on the hunt, that we catch exactly what our heart’s and bodies desire. Seek out your NEW BOOTY in venues that are already of interest to you. It’s then that you stand a greater chance of meeting someone whose interests already align with your own.
NEW BOOTY feels good; for the presence of this new individual provides a blank canvas to paint a fresh opportunity for fun, experience and possibly, LOVE. The existence extends beyond physical lust or sexual antics.
As we embark upon this seasonal change, envelop the idea of NEW BOOTY. Sure, the task of opening our lives to someone who has the potential to make or break our hearts can be a daunting task. However, one who never takes chances, misses the opportunity to reach beyondself imposed boundaries.
PUT YOURSELF ‘OUT THERE’ TO FIND NEW BOOTY AS WE SLOWLY SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER 2010!
YRB Magazine recently teamed up with sponsor CIROC Vodka to distribute a special ART ISSUE edition of their periodical.
The ART issue features an eclectic, gold metallic head piece created by none other than mega producer/fine artiste, SWIZZ BEATZ.
Hosted at the Lucky Strike game center, the gala also included the likes of the Legendary MARY J. BLIGE and British sensation, ESTELLE.
The three proudly joined forces to honor not only the release of YRB’S Art issue, but to also pay homage to the foundations of sculpture and creation in the urban market.
SIDE NOTE: I usually look at Swizz and think NOTHING of him, but sometimes, like in the ABOVE posted photos, he actually gives me a little something. He’s somewhat handsome adorning dark shades and holding his latest masterpiece. Right? SMILES.
Following her production schedule for the highly anticipated ‘BRITNEY EPISODE’ in support of the GLEE series, the pop megastar has decided to retreat on a much deserved getaway vacay.
Adorning a tiny, two piece, yellow bikini, BRITNEY walked alongside her current boyfriend, JASON TRAWICK.
The two checked in to their luxury resort in Hawaii yesterday, and have been relaxing on the beach, side by side.
Britney looks GOOD, I might add. For a mother of two who has experienced all of the trial and triumph that has saturated her adult life, Brit Brit seems to be bringing it all together. Her hair is tamed, and she looks healthy. I can’t ask for too much more right now.
…well, aside from this lead single to stem from her seventh studio album.
I am MORE THAN ready to hear the N.E.R.D produced record, NOW.
It is being reported by all of RIHANNA‘S central news feeds that the Barbadian beauty is set to release the lead single from her eagerly anticipated, fifth studio LP.
The title of the uptempo, dance heavy track is ONLY GIRL.
There is no specific news as of yet whether or not the record is uptempo in the way of the Euro-Pop inspired music that Im assuming she has created alongside David Guetta, OR if the sound is more grind inspired in the lane of RiRi’s number one smash-hit, Rude Boy.
This morning, Rihanna’s main fan site also reported that ONLY GIRL would receive its first radio spins NEXT TUESDAY MORNING, August 31st.
Though many are saying that the new album is being released too soon, I personally feel that the album is being released at the PERFECT time. Rihanna has certainly squeezed as much juice out of her RATED R project that she possibly can. FIVE singles, SIX music videos, a combined stateside and across seas tour, plus a slew of mainstream mag covers, interviews and awards show appearances/performances. Though RATED R still hasnt sold a solid million copies here in the states, the public is very much ready for the mainstream, pop inspired album that Rihanna’s core fans wanted last November.
Also, keep in mind that Rihanna has released a new album EVERY YEAR of her five year career span. This fourth quarter album release is no different when compared to the usual practices that have kept Rihanna’s name and likeness at the forefront of the music industry. Rihanna may not be the best singer or stage performer. However, she is marketed above core standards, and it works in pushing the commercial appeal of her celebrity and associated music.
There is no word as of yet on which producer or songwriter helmed RiRi’s new ONLY GIRL record. I am 100% confident that the song is gonna ROCK!
Yesterday, I released the official on-set photos that were lifted from USHER‘S new music video, DJ GOT US FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN.
In keeping aligned with his promotional campaign to support his recently released VERSUS EP, the actual video compilation to accompany the international single has made its way to the world wide web.
Ive only watched the compilation ONCE prior to this post, and quite honestly, Im not impressed with the overall effect. While Usher does indeed remain true to his signature dance routines and uptempo choreography, the antics that once placed Usher at the upper echelon’s above his competition, seem to have lost its steam.
I am still very much trying to LOVE this particular track, as accompanying music videos tend to increase my interest. HOWEVER, in this case, the music video looks EXACTLY as drab and mundane as the preview shots I posted yesterday morning.
I dont believe that DJ GOT US FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN will deliver the smash-hit success of OMG. However, I do see this music video aiding in maintaining Usher’s reputation as a solidified performer of our generation.
WATCH The DJ GOT US FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN Music Video, BELOW:
For his 21st Birthday Celebration in West Hollywood, California, rap star/college student, LIL ROMEO, created his own shake at the now infamous MILLIONS OF MILKSHAKES restaurant.
It has now become a ritual in Hollywood for celebrities to honor their birthdays by taking advantage of photo opps and fan fare at the famed, dessert shop. Usually, the celebs mix their own favorite ingredients together in creating a signature flavor.
Romeo auctioned off his personally created shake to benefit various organizations that finance research and treatment for children who suffer with cancer.
I am just so taken aback at how quickly this young man has grown UP. He’s 21 now, so that makes him legally have-able. GRINCHE SMILE.
I so appreciate the fact that Romeo came up out of his clothes to please the likes of his adorning fans; both female and male alike.
Romeo was accompanied by some of his other celebrity friends, BUT I thought, ‘Whats the point in posting their photos? My readers want to see the Abs, Bi-Ceps, Pecs & Cakes.’ RIGHT?
The mega pop star of our generation, MISS BRITNEY SPEARS, covers the latest issue of POP MAGAZINE.
I’ve had these shots in my photo feed since yesterday, but didn’t initially love them enough to actually post. HOWEVER, now that Ive really studied the Japanese graphics displayed throughout, combined with Brit Brit’s image, Im enjoying the shots a little more.
POP Magazine has yet again called upon famed photographer, Richard Prince to shoot the cover story for the upcoming issue of the magazine. This time, Richard also collaborates with Takashi Murakami to add a Japanese Pop feel to the cover. Word is that the issue will also include cartoon stickers throughout.
…and while it’s great seeing Britney adorned on so many local and international covers as of lately, Id honestly just like to hear her new single from this 7th studio album.
