the awating strenght

As humans we are filled with emotions some in full effect and some in the background waiting for it's presence to become known. There is a huge difference between the good vibes and feelings that one encounters and the bad ones. The good emotions need no altering, they need no adjusting or fixing and one's emotional state is at it's euphoric heights. A person's bad emotions however is the complete opposite, where one may have to feel the rough burden of a trying day, a painful and tough moment or may have just had a hard time in coming to grips with one of life sudden painful experiences. This particular blog post is for those trying to get through those rough times.
This current moment in your life while being strong at the moment will eventually be a fleeting one,will eventually fade into the background slowly and quietly and life will resume forward with its better days.  In my mind a bad day or bad days entered into one's life is a momentary and inconsistent visit of bad moments that serve as a test to strengthen and encourage positive change in one's outlook, day, and attitude to help you further appreciate the good, all while acknowledging the prestige it delivers; so my best advice through a current hardship is to simply wait, wait for your sunshine through the cloudy rain, and your forming smile through the hidden cracking of a soon to be shattered frown, the relevant darkness currently found is no match for the incoming beautiful rainbow that is up next and sure to astound. Knowing that it will come and believing in it's wondrous power allicits the quickening of it's eventual arrival and the soothing benefited knowledge that you can get through practically anything, it just requires you to have the initiated belief that you can and chances are you probably will, the key is to simply never lose hope in effectively trying.

hyperbaly gone too far

words in our society are very common place as it should be, and it is  to our benefit that it is so, how we chose our words and our powerful declaration to emphatically make statement however comes with both the good and the bad. Now i can go on about offensive language and the things we should and should not say, but i think that the majority at large already knows what is and what is not acceptable language, and in certain situations knows the words that we should and shouldn't say. this particular blog post in particular is about the constant need of hyperbole which is shown now more than ever as an often used and  overall effectively seen practice. Let me know if any of these scenarios sounds familiar, you go to a movie and after it's over you hear the group next to you say how epic it was, which is fine if there is no doubt about how remarkable of a film it is but why can't it just be considered great, moving or even just very good.
It doesn't end there with movies however have you ever heard of a review of an album with the word incredible attached on to it's synopsis along with five other albums having the same word used to describe it,which makes you wonder does the latest album you heard have to be incredible why can't it just be really good or just simply nice in terms of an enjoyable listening experience. My problem is not necessarily with people's opinions or with these words it's with the over usage of them diminishing the true value of what that word signifies and the importance that it holds
Words that should be used for precious and valuable things,  on special occasions for incredible works or art get lumped in often times with good content, that while being effective in it's purpose to entertain is not as prestigious as something that is truly masterful or phenomenal in it's end result. By using something too much it tends to start losing it's value, diminishing it's luster in the process and with entertainment in particular it can place a potential skepticism on the true and deserved warranted praise that something should ultimately receive. The true greatness of something is truly subjective based off of your own appreciation for it, the value that you place upon it, and and the universal love that it compiles it is those qualities that make something incredible, outstanding, and Amazing.
 There have been many things that we all love, that we all get an unforgetable feeling from and that makes our day, but there is a fine line difference between an enjoyable and good nostalgic album and an all time classic. Differentiating from what good and what's great, what's enjoyable and what's unforgetable, helps put works of art into it's proper context all while squaring it up perfectly for it's rightfully viewed framework all while shedding the proper praise to it's conclusive greatness,value and impact.

What's in a number

In life we consistently strive to be number 1, to be the best all to serve as the self vindication of personal pride towards who we are; because if we are then it proves and validates just how great we are, all as we look at that number and ideal as the means to our own self prestige and solitified appreciation. Being number one feels special, thereby making us feel the same, where thereafter we can truly value and congratulate our own wonderfully found individual greatness. In this chase for the number one spot which by all tense and purposes is worthy to be sought after, it does however diminish  the appreciation for any other number that could be had underestimating the priveledge that should be garnered for other numbers in which people get placed in. the priveledge towards one self should happen if you're good at something and do well enough to be placed among the best. It is that instinctive need for a particular top spot that undercuts you achieved success and greatness, devalues a hard earn perception of an appreciated talent garnared by others towards your amazing gift.
In life there's only one number one spot, but should that diminish the privelegde of other numbers that should cherished as well. If I were to make a top ten of best musical acts would if be that much of a discredit to the beach boys if I placed them at number 6 or if I were to consider Eddie Murphy the fourth best comedian I've ever heard? The resounding answer to that question for me is a resounding No. It doesn't downgrade your talents or greatness not to be number one if anything it just solitifies the depth of the competition around you,  the sheer difficulty of just what it takes to be number oneand the prestige that it garners. A number is just a number but a belief in one's perceived greatness is the actual truth towards one's complimented talent. A list may or may not do it enough justice and a championship can only be given to one team, even though there are many who are worthy of competing for it and also winning it as well.
You don't need a championship to be a winner, and you don't need the number one spot to solitify your shinning greatness, you just need the belief that you are, the accepted confidence in your worth, and the appreciated vindication that your best alone makes you the prominent winner you've wish to become all along.

A Patience's value

they say patience is a virtue while it is I also view it as a neccessaty. We need patience in our lives not too much of it but not too little of it as well. The balancing act of how much we allow ourselves to require it helps us to know whether we captured the right amount in the times we need it most. Patience can be a tricky weapon there can be a fine line of when to use it and when not to but it is up to an inner truth that we possess within us that provides the correct timing of it's use. Knowing it's importance is half the battle understanding it's neccessary timimng is the other,finding the windows of opportunity when it's meaning is most prevalent and implementing it into a necessary given situation is where its value truly shines, then and only then can you value the virtue of patience and an unhibitted freedom it relinquishes within you

Our destiny

Destiny, we all have one and we are primarily placed on this earth for that main reason to get to that resolute destination. We often yearn to control it, stop it, rearrange it, and get it to transform to our own individual liking. We tend to fight with what can't be grappled with, all while trying to elude the inevitable. We can't prevent our Destinies' from occurring, each destiny is cemented as our unpredictable fate that's yet to be met. Our destiny's is our mystery and while we may not be able to change our destiny for our lives we can alter ourselves for it. We can grow, transform our individual distinction regardless of our destinies helping us alter into a possible new one. So while we can't help where were destined to be, we can certainly effect the growth of our concluded  individual beings where good or bad the dictation of our individual greatness isn't determined through our profession but rather through our slowly well adjusted human blossoming. This is the destiny that holds the greatest purposeful destination of where we ultimately want to be

A classic in the making

What makes a classic. That undeniable work of art that finds a protected space in one's heart standing the test of time to be foever loved by millions. Throughout history there have been many classic albums, movies,  classic games and TV shows. The question is why are they considered that and how have they manage to stay prominemt in entertainment lure.
There are a few responses to these questions that I will discuss below and the first answer to provide a reasonable answer to this topic of what makes a classic is it's quality. All forms of entertainment whether a movie, tv show, classic game, book, or album gains that oh so cherished classic rating based off the strong level of quality it establishes; the greater the quality usually means the greater the impact,  this concept can also work with in reverse with art so horrible you have no choice but to remember back on it and laugh or remember it nonetheless due to it's disastrous nature reaching epic proportions.
Another factor in determining a classic is its Time frame when something was made, the impact that it had on you when you were younger, it's revolutionary impact on it's artistic medium and the fond memories you associate with that particular piece of entertaining content can have just as much of an impact as how good it's end result ultimately comes out to be. poingnent and important works of art from music TV and movies are in many cases helped by the by the simple timing of when it came out the popularity it thereafter gained paving the way for the important iconic status it holds today.
Importance whether it was different, new or revolutionary at the time the importance a work of art has to the medium of it's genre plays an important role as well of allowing it to reach classic status. Classic Albums like pet sounds and Sgt.  pepper, or classic shows like I love Lucy and Seinfeld all added something new to both television and music and have been rewarded with their risk to be different and progressive ever since through their praise and their unbreakable staying power and relevance to this day.
Replay value we all have an album we've listened to countless times, a movie we just can't get enough of a song that we can listen to a hundred more times, and an episode from a TV show that is just too entertaining not to want to relieve it once more. A classic in my opinion has to have some level of this for it to be considered as such. Entertaining content whether a movie a video game, a song, album or a TV show needs that replay ability to show and prove its value, something that is truly appreciated and adored when it comes to entertainment really showcases its worth and overall impact to the owner who has it, or to the newcomer who grows to appreciate it. Through our constant viewing, or listening or playing we show its value to us and the strong appreciation and appreciated meaning it holds to us as well.
Time, how we remember something, why we remember something, the appreciation we go on to have for what becomes so beloved to us I feel is all associated with time. Memories built up through time to collect enough of a wherewithal to garner a distinct recollection that transitions itself into a beloved memory; transpires through the time we give that object of appreciation to grow in our hearts and minds. Endured time further expands our love and fondness of everything that represents what a classic is.
A classic is less judged on by an opinion than a memory, shines with an even brighter glow as time dictates it should uses a set time frame as a launching pad to it's enduring legacy and provides enough quality that it makes it virtually impossible not to indulge into it's entertaining greatness multiple times over. It is what time deems it to be what reality can't deny of it and what we fondly remember it as being, A classic. 

Cam the Man Newton

With the Great play of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton it begs the question how high is his ceiling and how much more success can he aquire at the quarterback position? I say while there's a 50/50 percent that he may not go down as the greatest ever he has all the tools and ability I believe to be a top 5 all time nfl qb when it's all set and done.
Newton ability talent is truly a sight to behold and one to marvel at as well. With a duel attack of both running and passing with pretty good effiency, he is a matchup nightmare for opposing coaches and defenses. This season has easily been Newton's best thus far and due to his great play he is the odds on favorite to win the MVP this season, he is dynamic, electric and simply just fun to watch play the game of football.
The Scary part in Cam Newton's game is that there is still room for improvement, and at the young age of 26 that is truly a frightening thought for the rest of the NFL.
Newton's play reminiscent of previous quarterbacks the likes of Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, Michael Vick and Donovan Mcnabb, has a chance barring injuries to surpass those great predicessors as he stakes his claim to be the very best. Newton already a difficult player to prepare for is just at the beginning of his prime and looks as thought he is well on his way to becoming an unstoppable force in the league. His speed as a runner and his accuracy as a quarterback; and the fact that he has gotten the best out of a subpar receiving cast makes Newton makes what Newton has accomplished this season that much more impressive; making him all the more dangerous. If Newton can have this great of a season with not a lot around him offensively, which the likes of Manning, Brady, Palmer and Roethlisberger have had the luxury of benefitting from all season one can only imagine how much better he could be, and his season would have been if he had a better receiving core to throw to. Newton is young, talented, and most importantly hungry, and looks as though he is just entering his prime with plenty of great years of great football play to come.
 To be fair Newton does have a great defense and a very good and balanced running attack but Newton is the straw that stirs the drink and the engine that makes the team go. No one knows how Newton's career will end up, including myself  but based on everything he has already shown us and his potential to get even better with an intact roster further adding to what it already has the sky is the limit for this young qb and the Carolina Pathers.
Does Newton have a long ways to go to even be considered among some of the best to play his position, why yes of course he does and even Newton himself would be the first to admit that, but given the growth he's already displayed as a young quarterback, the leader he's become, the professionalism he's attained and the work he continues to put into his position, barring management or injuries I truly don't see anything stopping Cam Newton from being a top 5 quarteback to ever play this game; he truly is that special of a football player one that in my mind will only get better as time goes by.    

The power of friendship

Friendship what does it mean to you? In life if we are fortunate enough, we are rewarded with the powerful gift of friendship in which our paths cross with a special person we are bound and destined to have a great human relationship with; where we have the granted fortune to go on a magical journey in life paired with that particular person through a wonderful shared bond.In life's tough times many of us are blessed with a support system people perfect for getting us through tough times and all in all making our lives that much better.
We should expect that to come with our families because as we are connected to them in one way shape or another, and born into instant relationship with one family member to the next where as a  friendship however is not one that were instantly born with but one that were instead pleasantly given at any moment. A friendship can occur at any time, and at any place, and with a strong bond can last a lifetime.
A Family is suppose to be there for you, where as true friends choose to be. Friends can impact people's lives in a major way whether it be through their consistent support, through their appreciation of you through their understanding of what makes you special that you may not see but they easily do; a friend can both value who you are, all while treasuring their special relationship with you, and the best kind of friends will be sure to stick around for the long haul.
A friendship and especially the best kinds are never forced, never difficult to maintain, and consistently provides a meaningful value to our everyday lives. We can tell a friend anything that's on our minds and recipricate that right back to them, They can comfort us in our most emotionally distraught life periods and  we value them as both a person and a friend to do the exact same thing in their time of need as well. A friendship truly is a precious gift to have a fond appreciation for, to have somebody care about you enough to want to engage in time with you and for you to want to reciprocate those same exact feeling makes for a special connection that serves as life's many great gifts. With friends memories can be made, good times can be had, and simple wonderful conversations can be shared, and serves to adding to the rich quality of one's life.
 Friends are important, their needed, and provide an unspoken magic to everyday human interactions and continue the evolution of cherished human connections; through friendships were connected, viewed fondly in one's eyes, and are given the space to grow as people through the positive impact that a friendship can lend. To those who have friends appreciate what you have with them, know that it's not a right but rather a privilege to be granted one, and appreciate what the distinction of a mere friendship has meant to your life what it has done for your everyday existence; and how meaningful it can be in the lives of others. There's a reason why many of us have one and in many cases more than one because whether it's through a shared laugh, bond, an appreciation of common interest or involved life moments we know deep down inside that living without them would make for a much less pleasurable life journey and a conclusively lessened human life experience.

The Improbable Warriors start

In sports there comes a time when a team has one of those special seasons, a magical season that has everyone's attention, and emphasizes how great a team truly is and that is precisely what is going on right now with the golden State warriors incredible year thus far.  With a start only rivaled by the Chicago Bulls the Warriors are an astounding 36-3 with no signs of remotely slowing down anytime soon. With tremendous guardplay and a championship already notched under their belt combined with a terrific team chemistry and depth it is no wonder they are title contenders yet again and the odds on favorite to win it all this season. Powered by the league MVP Steph Curry who has continued his stellar play from his MVP season last year, the Warriors are not only the most exciting team to watch in the NBA but it can be argued that they are the most exciting team to watch in all of sports right now. Considering the way they play why wouldn't they be? afterall, their ability to move the basketball, hit three point shots, defend, accompanied by their run and gun style is easy basketball viewing to visually take in and enjoy; and their tremendous start only adds to their magnetic appeal.
 Their talented roster which is spearheaded by a dynamic duo and extremely effective one-two punch of Stephen curry and Clay Thomson is hard enough to contend with, but add an all star talent the likes of Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala , and great role players to round out a well oiled and well balanced machine such as Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa and you have an utter handful to deal with. Many expected great things for the team this year but this astonishing start was a definite surprise to many, especially coming from a team fresh off of a tittle winning season the year prior. Now due to their excellent start there are talks of a potential record tying 72-10 season which would tie the impressive Bulls mark accomplished in their 1995-96 season; and even discussions of whether they could surpassed that magical bulls season. They may not have accoplished what the bulls have as they are still very far away from their wonderful accomplishments and memorable legacy, but what they have succeeded in much like the bulls, is making regular season basketball meaningful again. Their exciting brand of basketball their high scoring nature and their Superstar MVP has helped make this season's warriors team both important and Special.
       The jury is out on how long they can maintain this stretch if fantastic play and not wear down as the season moves along, but with a young team, a tremendous backcourt and a superstar talent is the clear MVP things are definately looking good for a potential long sustained run of dominance; that is if any other team in the Western conference team has anything to say about it.
They may not be the bulls and may not have the resumes and legacies of other iconic NBA teams and players yet but what they do have is time. Time to showcase their team greatness on a night in night out basis and greatly add to what they've already accomplished.
The warriors are young, motivated and play as if they have something to prove and that's how good teams become great, great teams become champions, and champions become dynasties. The jury may still be out on whether or not this team in particular can become one but given their talent, Stephen Curry's ability to get even better as an NBA talent and the potential for their nucleus to stay intact this team in my mind will be around for a very long time to comes, threatening for more NBA titles, and cementing their legacies as one of the greatest teams that the NBA has ever had.

Success through failure

Success through our failure, now I know what you may be thinking how can I succeed through my failures. The mere thought of a failure is failing at something with no redeeming things to acquire from that experience. The truth however is that there is a variety of things to be gained from a failures if you peel back it's outer layer and unveil it's purposely hidden truth. A failure is meant to humble and showcase the tough acquisition of something we know all to well that can at times be hard to acquire. Through that failure however is where we can receive our reward the internal attributes within us that exemplefies our greatest strenght, coming in the form of our patience, renewed perseverance leading to a newly adjusted perspective and understanding of our desired goals and catipulting us to our newly incentive mission. Through a disappointment  rises an eventual euphoria through our pain eventually comes a relevent comfort one that gravitates us to a satisfying and meaningful long journey to our final resolute destination.
 Disappointment can quell our desire or it can further add fuel to that same desire for our cherished conquest. We can either take the seed of our witnessed failure and  keep it as just that or develop it into the growth of our blossoming showcase. Our failures can very much so serve as that spark can light the fuse that leads the way to our purposely wondered dreams coming to fruition. If we let our disappointment and failures be the launching pad to our acquired success through our newly applied sense of hunger and adaptation towards it's aquisition failure truly then becomes a reward. A reward of hard work, discipline,commitment and passion to self growth. A benefit to our soon to be adjusted mental mindframe, the lit fuse to spark the positive footsteps towards destined prevailing events in which we prevail from the darkness of our displaying light to shine in the eventual glory of the light that's yet to tower over us in it's eminent trance. If you lose no need to feel afraid to lose again and if you fail welcome it as if it is appreciated  because in the end we  are not at all meausred by our failures, just the actions admits our continuous journey to our successes.

Our willingness to age

Aging we all have to get older sooner or Later but it's how we combat that reality that helps us unravel the beauty of it's comfortably hidden prize. As the days add up and the years go by we tend to view aging as an imaginary gravitational push towards our human expiration and ultimate mortality coming to an end; viewing our youth as being as good as it gets with no place to go from there but down. Aging in our minds then becomes perceived as nothing more than a mere disappointment mainly due to how we view ourselves adjusting to a life of newly met realities. how we see both our lives and ourselves as we grow older paints the narative and we then construct either the enjoyment of getting older through our mental self portrait or the plain regret and sadness we choose to attain from that mental visionary stance. It ultimately does beg the question have we somewhere along the line forgotten that we construct the view of our own self narrative.
         How we manage to live and why we manage to live is up to our our own measured jurisitication. An approached and initiated acknowledgement that doesn't change through time but that rather becomes more crucial as we grow and evolve as humans. Through that acknowledgement we set the standard the appreciation for what age we are what it may mean to us and ultimately what value it holds in our continued evolution throughout the duration of our lives. Getting older is just that, getting older, providing as many pros as it does cons. Making us all the wiser,appreciative of what we have and who we are and how precious our existence when refelected upon is in the grand scheme of things.
       Does aging have it's setbacks? absolutely, but just because you age doesn't mean that your spirit follows suit and does so as well. Living freely is done through one's commitment for doing so having a zest for life with the knowledge of how precious that youthful like exuberberance can be at any age; as it can have a huge impact towards how you want to combat life progressing forward. We are the existence of our permission, what we allow our lives to be and how we allow our lives to go paints  the portraits of our essence. refelecting the fight of our unbridbled passion for the will to live, spiritually reflecting us in the same light as our youth projecting us in the same view of our sometimes forgotten past.How old you are isn't as important as how old you live, as life still continues no matter the age and adventure still continues no matter the stage.
         Once we live by the number we get assigned we officially become that precise number as well. the same can't be said about living by the number you personally want and making life the adventure it should be. Aging is a process of human evolution that we can't control but what we do have a say on is the meaning and relevance we put into ourselves each day and navigating it in the direction of our desired view  and that we certainly we have all the say in. Act your age some may say and while that nay be true at times their are many other different occasions when it isn't and benefits you not to. Act how you feel and age loses a large portion of it's significance; take it a step further by not being tied down to a number and you allow yourself to view who you are in a whole new permitted light no longer connected to how old your age says you are but by how youthful your existence within that moment of  time frames you to be.

doubt vs certainty

Doubt vs certainty a constant battle we sometimes mentally engage with not only within our minds but sometimes within the depths of our souls. We constantly ask the question when we should push forth and battle with the ideology of whether or not our push to move forth is really in the end worth it. We linger with our suspicions of what's we feel is internally right and what we perceive as being wrong, at times even getting in our own way toi the path of our own mental salvation.
Our doubt sets our limitation of expectations and at times setting the barrier to our true unlimited potential. Our certainty while at times beneficial can be misdirected in our wishful prosperous conquest. Knowing when to properly use the two can be a very difficult task as both can serve as a benefit or a disadvantage in finding the proper path or just making the right decision. Both can be very useful but serve their purpose best when used at the right time. Doubt can bring about hesitation, worry and an inherent fear to simply proceed onward. What counteracts that is a relevant certainty that once attained trains us to jump life's many hurdles, to relinquish our fears when found adopted into a proven doubt, and catapults our courage into the forefront to acheive what was thought to be challenging, impossible or just plain risky helping us to confidently  proceed onward towards our goals or life agendas.
Doubt however can provide a beneficial flip side to it's importance as well, serving as our perfectly provided emotional compas of what is truly right or conclusively wrong sometimes managing to be correct in it's assumptions, all the while our certainty to no fault of our own may be an unjust one, do to life's consistence in changing up the script to our lives. It is more beneficial however to our own human growth and our continued evolution to have more certainty than doubt, as it is our certainty that frees us, leads to the useful path that we deep down within our selves know that we both require and undoubtedly request. It can also be the mental and emotional force that pushes a sometimes eluded belief to the forefront all while helping us in the much needed salvation to our much needed mental freedom.  through self certainty we triumph over the initiated stance of fear fabricated by doubt, where our now suddenly formed strength found within ourselves dictates our outcomes more often than not setting us to prosper instead of conclusive doubt and fear doing so for us where it more often then sets us up to simply fail, as certainty does a much better job in pushing us forward more so than doubt which can only triumph in it's conquest of holding us back. 

Kindness

The benefit of being nice can truly have a very profound impact in one's emotional resonance and positve attitude. What I mean by this is you can really make someone's mood change and internal spirit lift by doing the good things that some of us can at times take for granted. We have the ability to possess kindness and generosity and spread that outward to those around us especially to those who need  it most. Through our warmth we introduce others to a generous compassion that when delivered to others can be an intoxicating form of activated bliss towards one's emotional state, helping us as well to portray our own human existence to a prosperous glorified light.
The act of kindness brightens our external glow and can awaken others hidden happiness not always displayed, maybe even helping others parley that into positive actions towards others. Through a kind act and through  kind words we ourselves shine in the best way possible, and it is that special glow coming from the goodness of our exhibited human nature that gives it it's magnetic beauty, gorgeous enough to have others yearning to shine just as brightly and have their set being perfectly portraying that essential importance, all while magnifying the true depth of our sometimes hidden individual human greatness. 
With kindness we spread love, happiness, joy, and an appreciation for others just like us, at times empowering those us around us, benefiting their emotional stance and given the circumstance in which we uplift someone else we may also benefit a neccesary beneficial self outlook that may have otherwise been complely unapparent to one's needed self appreciation. If you have to power to be kind why not use it you may just be making someone's day, pulling them out of an emotional rut and empowering their own self view portrayed external through a positive emotional view whether it be through a smile or an acknowledgement of their realized appreciation with a thank you.  We have the power the enforce positive means of contention among other see the beauty and optimism that not everybody may find and bless those with the power to see the true value that a human existence can showcase, and provide the value of a consitently needed emotional lift that renders people to a better emotional state, all of which done through the simple act of pure kindness, which to me makes the simple act of genuinely being kind very much worth it in the end.

Memories

Memories their sometimes profound, insightful, and at times very meaningful in our existence.We all have them and they come in two forms the good memories and the bad ones. Each distinctive in leaving a profound internal feeling within us all while helping shape the emotion in a human consciousness. How we look back on the existence we've had the privilege to explore thus far in our lives and have gotten to engage in or have been dispondent to fills a life's remembrance and gives the prominent meaning to our self view. A memory provides the mental conjuring of withheld moments no longer rendered in time but rather kept stored mentally, comfortably entered in the mind. We have them under lock and key occasionally to be open at a time of our choosing; at a time of perfect convenience and to remind  us where we've been and how far we've come. Memories connect the past to the present, connects what we've forgotten about and reminds us of meaningful ways of why it may resonate with our present and why in some cases it may have meaning towards our continuing evolution.

Music's role

Music, many would call it the unofficial sountrack to our lives some might simply view it as majestic ear candy warming up our heart with its hypnotic sounds, while others might view it as the soundtrack to life itself and then their are simply those who just may view it as beautiful and enchanting audible art.
Whatever the viewpoint music has a variety of prevailing meanings that we tend to attach on to it with a ton of prevailing uses as well.Music at times serves as the perfect compliment to our moods, can sculpt and cultivate our emotions or can just serve as the magic elixer to uplift our internal spirits, It can serve the purpose of being a nostolgic time travel machine and bring us back in time with a certain song or memorable adolescent childhood album; to a mental place or day that will forever be kept in one' heart and that still provides those fond memories that can be captured vividly though the right mental cognitive processing .
Music for us truly is the jack off all trades when it comes to helping change the dynamics of a view, constructing a necessarily mental reasuurement that everything will be okay or just using it as a  beneficial sidekick companion, that at that point in time can understand perfectly your emotional state of present well being. Artists from the past and current ones today understand the emotional roller coaster of life the same exact way we do with it's prevailing ups and downs and surprising twist and turns that it can apply to an affected mental psyche, it is then their job with that mental knowledge to relate to those emotional burdens and triumphs that many have experienced, and that they themselves may have gone through, and parley that to the many facing the same noticeable turmoil in their day to day experience. It is through an artist's voice, sound, and a musical melody that it has the magical power to play masterfully with our emotional range add in a specific time frame in which it gets released, a particular emotion and a memorable life moment and music now has left an imprint on a person's life with the space and allotted opportunity to continue to do just that as a person's life evolves.
Music has incredible power, superpowers no, but it does provide that wondrous escape to another mental destination, those soothing sounds that serve as the best stress relievers possible to the human spirit all while being able to take one's mind to new mental territories or forgotten about mental regions , thereby allowing the person who hears it to transport their inner spirits into a new personally instituted mental dimension set forth by the power of sound.
Music is our emotional compass as well, guided by our internal emotions, at times it serves as the perfect compliment to go along with a down trodden day, can be the wise teacher teaching us the importance of a needed life lesson, can sympathize with us through the sudden pain of heartache,or can play the perfect role as the well intention-ed friend that reminds us that it's okay to let our hair down and just have a good time. It is through these varying roles it understands us and we thereby fit it into the navigation of our life days and ongoing experienced journey.
whether it is a sad or happy song, a song to dance to or just a ballad you can share with a loved one music does a great job in wonderfully doing its part in an emotional sence of knowing what its audience wants and more importantly capturing what the audience needs. It provides us wisdom, purpose, hope, strength, happiness, and more often than not an escape from life's harsh met realities.
It is the one art-form that speaks to us the most because it is the one that understands us better than any other, mainly due to the fact it has been and still is created by those who have been through our same struggle, felt our same triumph, and experience the same wide range of our merited and exhibited emotions.

The king is back

Welcome back NFL, oh how we have missed you, us football fans and fantasy owners that is. After months of waiting the anticipation is finally over, the NFL season has arrived yet again for another season and as a result Sundays can commence in being exciting once again.
There is no denying that when it comes to sports in America it is the NFL that reigns supreme. No other sport has it's collective fan base eating out of the palm of their hands for yearning to watch
more of its sport in this country, than football currently does. Whether it is buying merchandise,watching the games, setting up your fantasy team, talking about the games to your colleagues at work, or children talking to friends at school about yesterday's game, it is pretty clear that when it comes to garnering buzz and generating attention football is king, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Let's face it for us who are fans of the sport football has us wrapped around it's finger and not necessarily cause we want it to be that way but more so because we need it to be that way. We need that special event, that must see attraction that captivates us in a week in week out basis and Football serves as just that. It is the continuation of something that we just can't get enough of, in the same way the latest movie in a trilogy is or the continuation of a book series from a popular author is as well, we desperately yearn to see it pick up right where it left off. Through that wait  the anticipation for yet another enthralling season is at it's peak, with fans clamoring to get to their TV sets to see just how it unfolds.
In the same way we yearn to see the latest talked about and exciting movie or the next great episode in a wildly popular TV series, The NFL has simply become can't miss television. We love the NFL but honestly how can we help but not to.  There is a variety of reasons to watch the NFL product  and why football captivates us so highly,  whether it's to see if a champion can defend their crowd, to find out which new team will rise from the ashes and perch themselves among the elite, to impressively take witness to which quarterback will take that next step as they continue to climb up the ranks among the elite of the sport or just whether you made the correct choices with your fantasy picks this season. There is a variety of reasons that the NFL has us glued to our TV screens and it's unfolding drama, and why we are way too invested to simply just not watch anymore.
We need the NFL just as much as the NFL needs us, we crave for it's exciting brand of action and its competitive battles and it craves our attention and money, It is a give and take relationship that goes both ways, a relationship between us and the sport that has made it the most popular one in America. We are compelled by the great athletes, the spectacular plays, the rising stars, our teams success, potential comebacks, and both the player and team improvements made from one year to the next. The NFl has left us under its spell and right now it is way too enticing for us to want to break it out of it. The truth however is that its hard to blame any of us for being fans in large part to the quality of the games,how the NFL perfectly orchastrates their exposure, and their buzz through commercials and a week long wait, that enables a fans interest to reach a crescendo by the time game time hits, all to wonderfully be fulfilled for a couple of glorious days of competitive football action, and to restart all over again the following week.
 The strength of the sport is their great ability to leave us wanting more all while giving us a so much to take in and enjoy during each season. Unlike baseball and basketball which tend to give us more games than we would want or tends to drag on for way too long, football is the perfect length where it's not too short and not too long, all as it succeeds in captivating us with it's presentation,suspense, and fast paced competitive action.
Does The NFL have it's fair share of problems behind the scenes? yes it does and there is absolutely no denying that fact, that however is not why we watch, it the game's graceful visual beauty witnessed through its violence, the anticipation of it's continuing story being played out right before our eyes, the answering of our speculation for our teams potential success, and the fun filled ride we know it will take us on in the search of a crowned champion that has us mesmerized and hooked on its product and leaves us wanting more year in and year out. As yet another season has come it is these compelling components that will leave us transfixed on its continuing saga all while leaving us engaged in its visual drama right down to it's final conclusion.

our differences equal our connection

Differences, what makes the world wonderful and special is precisely that. Whether it's a difference in ethnicity, race, culture, age, color and gender all have been necessary in defining not only human beings but life itself. Each one of us is different from one another in one way shape or form, we like different things from music, to movies, to books, to TV, we all have different dreams we wish to accomplish and we vary from one another in lifestyle, based off of how we choose to live to our lives.
We as people are designed to be different just as much as we are designed in many ways to be similar. It is those differences however that make us understand one another better to view one another in a brighter light and to grow as people from accepting those differences, and being able to respect it as well. Through one's respect for someone being different you accept them shining in their own light, thereby allowing others to shine beautifully in their own way as well.
understanding one's unique make-up representing who they are is up to us to create and respect and once we can do just that, we can go on from there to have an appreciation for what person in essence represents. We have the power to uplift others worthy sense of self, and grow as people as a result of doing that, as seeing the beauty in someone difference helps all of us see the beauty in other peoples differences as well.The United States of America symbolizes all people from all walks of life coming to one country and benefiting it through their presence, culture, language and ethnicity. We are connected through each race, culture and distinct difference that each one of those countries beneficially provides us. Through the presence of those who are different we learn, we adapt, we grow, we assimilate to others and their representative nature.
This in my opinion is what makes America as a whole so special and so attractive as a destination to embark upon and to stay in. It is our acceptance and our understanding of others no matter their appearance or culture or religion or sexual orientation that helps further distinguish America as a great country that is very much worthy of its reputation and praise. ONe person difference from us is not meant to be as much loved or hated as it is meant to be respected where within the confines of that respect can hopefully grow a civil appreciated understanding of the internal makeup of the different elements of what can make a person who they are in their met representation.

It is not our job to have the answer towards who someone is or whythe result of their visual distinction lives up to our own held requirements, but rather if their self expression lives up to their yet to be finished definition towards who they wish to conclusively represent themselves as. If we as human beings are walking representation of god's art then it should probably be left up to himto be able to merrit the proper distinc oppinion of what that valued artwork overall worth truly signifies. We as people can only appreciate the various differences that he created us with, and once we can understand that we can start to understand why each of us serve as a beautiful wonder waiting to be explored.

Hope will always be a key

What is hope? How do we hold on it? These questions are prevalent for every living soul walking the face of the earth today. Hope in definition is defined by a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Inside of us we all hold some semblance of hope, some in a smaller context and others do so on a much larger scale. Whatever the size,we use it as the fuel for our distinction, the guide for our desired life journey, the helpful push to our dreams conquest, and most importantly as the internal spiritual calling to get us through tough times. Certain distinct circumstances may bring about this useful need for it's power. through tough times hope uplifts us, aid us, encourages us, and often times benefits us in any en devour we wish to accomplish. It helps us through any saddened mood we internally hold and .helps spark the self positivity we may for the moment have missing within us. Hope is never magically set as it has to be generated to be successfully garnered from within and hopefully if were lucky enough it can be sparked for us through others in our lives, or in the specific way we see others live theirs.
The fashion in which we attain it is less important than the overall significance of keeping its important meaning within us to begin with, which leads to my second question how do we hold on to it. That can be a rather difficult question to answer, many may have an easier time keeping a strong and consistent postive hope stached in their heart and minds, all while for others this can a very difficult task and can be rather challenging with life's consistent nature of mixing the good with the bad into the fabric of our ongoing lives.
Facing obstacles can breed frustration, that apparent frustration then quietly can proceed to culminate gradually into stress, stress can then lead into sadness, and its sustained length may at times lead into depression.It is the hope that we attach to our circumstances however that lift us out of our rut, makes us think better of our circumstance, provides us with a cherished thought out of our situations improvement, shining a light into our prevalent darkness which can be the theoretical helping hand to get us back up on our feet yet again.
The best way I can answer this question is to simply ask another, Is the hope of a positive change important and necessary enough for you to want to keep it? If it is then you as a person will find the neccesariry way to somehow find it and use it accordingly, and once found will increase the importance of your yearning to store it within yourself, to help you whenever needed most. As people we often times are led through life by our emotions the feelings that we instantly get at a given moment. The glorious moments provide an exuberant and exhilerating feeling that doesn't at all need the effectiveness of hope, It is the grim days and sometimes the painful ones however that require it the most, and when it is both beneficial and crucial to our overall emotional well being. through the ups and down, life's twists and turns it is through hope that we stay afloat, keep our heads above water and have the necessary tool to carry on. Life at times can certainly be a bare to get through it can test us right to our very core all while trying in a unique way to find what were made of, yet it is through hope that inate belief turned on within us that catapults our desire to push forth, to seek the improvement we so desperately crave to have for the benefit our emotional mood and views at that presice and distinc moment.
Hope is the cure that helps heal us the medicine from the sickness of life's harsh realities and our navagational compus through the bad and difficult all the way to the good and mentally achievable. 
We give it the power it warrants, the meaning to it's important definition  as it guides us with a purposeful distinction waiting to be decoded in time, we just have to give it the green light and let it help guide us through the navigational journey of life.




       

Kids films, the genre to watch

There are a lot of great movie genres out there for people to enjoy but to me none of them are as great as the kid movie genre. Children's movies in my opinion are the best genre going today in cinema, They're creative, action packed, funny, have a compelling story to keep you entertained throughout it's duration and often times provide a wonderful message that many kids can walk away with and benefit from.
This is not to slight any of the other movie genre's out there as well because they are in their own right very good to watch and to be entertained by, however, it is this genre in particular to me that I find stands out from the rest.
Kids films have a special way of incorporating so many different elements from other movie genre's and putting them together to make a wonderful viewing experience for it's main targeted audience. Take a movie like 2014's smash hit film the lego movie for example, a great film with many different elements incorporated into it that makes for a wonderful children's movie. Its incorporation of action, humor, great storytelling, great imagery and not to mention a great meaningful message that all kids can walk away with, makes it a truly fantastic film for any young child to watch and enjoy.
The lego movie is not the only film however, that incorporates all of these different elements into them and does so seemlessly. Movies like wreck it ralph, the toy story franchise and a film like Tangled all incorporate  those great elements as well to make for a wonderful cinematic ride.
What I find charming about children's movies are their captivating ability to be so relatable to it's core audience, whether it stories of overcoming obstacles, loving yourself, going on an adventure it has very relatable themes that many kids can appreciate and find very similar to their everyday experiences, giving them good perspective on life and how to deal with specific experiences.
Children's films can encourage kids when they doubt themselves, help them with their imaginations, show them the strenght that comes with being yourself, and how to showcase bravery in the face of fear. The incorporation of those good messages playing as the themes to many of these kinds of films helps give substance and meaningful depth through it's entertaining visuals. Kids can walk away from a children's movie being inspired, motivated, having to learn tough life lessons and being uplifted which is exactly what any parent who has a child would want them to gain from that cinematic experience.
Kids aren't the only audience that can enjoy these films however, many parents seem to enjoy them as well, and honestly who could blame them. When you see a film you simply want to be entertained by them, you also want them to have a compelling story and for many people they just want to be moved by it and children films do just that. In many ways it is also these kinds of films that serve almost as a trip down memory lane for some parents where they might be reminded of a time when they were in the same exact shoes as  a particular character on-screen, rekindle thoughts of times when they were afraid in life but had to overcome that fear, or just a time when parents weren't afraid to be adventurous or just a little bit insecure about who they were. Movies such as these almost serve a time capsule being played out through the visual screen, reminding all young adults and adults alike of what it was once like to be a kid but most importantly what it's like to feel like one as well.
Kids movies have an ability if given the chance to pull out your inner child and play up to the mental dynamics that you set forth thereafter. Another aspect  that I truly appreciate is their ongoing consistency of being good quality films that are entertaining for all ages to watch, when going to see these types of films,you can be rest assured that you will most likely get your money's worth for not only your child and but for you as well. Seeing an animated character having to learn from a life lesson or overcome an obstacle is not much more different than us as people constantly having to do the same in our everyday lives.
One of the things that I really love about these movies as well is their ability to remain fresh and innovative, movies from Pixar and Disney always seem to be provide a new creative and inventive concept and stories to delve into that children can easily dive right into, the same can't also be said for other movie genres who at times have a hard times garnering and generating a new creative idea for a new upcoming film.
Even though I am no longer a young male adolescent and as currently constituted stand as a full on adult now I can still revel in the imagination, storytelling, imagery and wonder that these kinds of films excel at with the profound lesson being sent to the viewer who watches being the proverbial Cherie on top of the Sunday. To be a fan of Children's movies you don't have to be a kid, mainly because kids movies can be relatable to anyone who watches them with an open mind, they're very easy to get into are extremely easy on the eyes visually they can open up the wonders of your past memories of adolescence, captivate you in it's adventure and move you with it's profound and useful message.
This genre of movies for me is the most consistent, imaginative, and most accessible of all the movie genres, I can even venture that it's the most say underrated one as well, as it appeals to all age brackets and demographics who watch these films. If you want to watch a movie there's many to choose from but if you were to choose from a particular genre, take it someone who loves them more often than not you can't go wrong with a kid's film.

Your valued worrth lays in wait

What is your valued worth? well in my own estimation it is anything you deem it to be and have the power to turn it into, as the power of your showcased greatness lies in your hands. Each distinct person truthfully has a purposeful role all while we each in our own way provide something wonderfully different and great, and can give back to the society in which we live in in our very own distinct ways. giving back can come in many different forms such as voting and getting others active in the voting process and in your own way making a change through that scale, or you can give of yourself by being charitable and giving back to those in need.
Many others may impact this society in different ways some in a smaller sense whether it means being a garbage man or mail man and other on a larger one such as going into the health profession and giving back by being doctors and nurses or simply through other high end occupations such as being an architect, lawyer, engineer or accountant, or by taking it a step further by going to other countries in need and aiding others in whatever way you can, whatever the contribution you apply whether it's one of the ones that I mentioned above or your something else you choose to do , we each have a purposeful hidden contribution to give forth to this society that benefits it for the better.
If you haven't found your purposeful reasoning yet, it's okay, you still can. As it stands already you are currently something important to somebody else out there, so within those confines of mental reasoning you already are in essence valuable. We as human beings are more than just one thing whether it's a son or daughter, best friend, brother or sister, nephew or niece or granddaughter or grandson or husband and wife, we've already impacted the lives of other people just through are mere existence.
The next step is capitalizing off of the given existence we have been provided and finding our own ways of benefiting others around us on a broader scope and benefiting our growth in the process. Those who give of themselves for the benefit of others such as soldiers, policemen or firefighters, better this society as a whole, and impact the lives of other in a profound way. The choice of your made up decision of how you may wish to do the same it may not be through those occupations but you may find your meaning in other ways where it eventually  may provide your own met distinction and therefore give you your valued worth.
 Everybody has a worth as one person each one of us is the equivalent of a small puzzle piece that needs your connection to set the scene to the overall bigger puzzle piece. You may not think your piece matters but in terms of its finished look it needs your included piece as it relies on your missing piece too, for it's total completion. In terms of value each one of us have one, we may not know what it is as of yet but we all will someday, as we all have a chance to compound off of that value and truly make something special out of it. how you make it special is all up to you but the important thing is that you can, now the only question left is, whether you will or not? 
I myself can certainly do more to find that missing value and do my part and so can everybody else as it lifts up the spirit of not only yourself but others in desperate need of it as well. Through our beings there is a significance to who we are and within the scope of that meaning there is a value of  unseen potential greatness waiting to be unleashed, with space being given through time a value can emerge in sudden blooming presence, now some of us may lose our way and and others may be lost at this present moment but we can always find our way back to the light once again, but with each existence I truly believe there is an importance that we can attach on to it where we give more power than we ever thought imaginable to others that can wonderfully benefit off of it. We each have a valued worth the most important is first knowing that you have one and second is knowing how to apply it to others in the world. It is then and only then that it shines out to the world lighting it up that much brighter and bettering society in the process.
