Mathmatics can be funny...

Recently I have been on a mathmatics hype (funny cause i have failed a math class in my life and never loved the subjuect, but when its talked about right it makes every situation however complex able to be solved which = simply beautiful

A CHANCE TO FLY A CHANCE TO CRY

THEY (WHO) PLAY IT SAFE ARE QUICK TO ASSASINATE WHAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. THEY MOVE IN PACKS INJESTING MORE AND MORE FEAR WITH EVERY ACT OF HATE ON ONE ANOTHER. THEY FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE IN GROUP LESS GUILT TO SWALLOW. THEY ARE US. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BECOME. AFRAID TO RESPECT THE INDIVIDUAL. A SINGLE PERSON WITHIN HER CIRCUMSTANCE CAN MOVE ONE TO CHANGE TO LOVE HERSELF. TO EVOLVE.

I LOVE HER!

RISE IN PEACE honoring fallen solja Eric Toscano

via Celina: 

This young man had a good personality he knew what he wanted just had got excepted to Chico state, had a beautiful smile, he's hella funny, if he saw you feeling down he would cheer you up and do something silly to make you laugh. He was a force at skyline academically advanced in Upward Bound, and played on the football team. I could always talk to him, he listened and heard me like no other friend, i came to him about relationship advice. He leaves this planet with his lil sister who he said many times, he wanted to do good so she could be proud and look up to him. He stayed 7800 and despite being exposed to a lot of violence, named after his uncle who was killed, he managed to stay out of a gang life, which makes it that much more sad that he lost his life to a bullet. According to his grandma he was shot in the head outside his house by a drive way, 3 of his friends were injured. 

(Kristi Holohan designed this beautiful portrait that will be on tshirts, Celina Lopez took the photo and I interviewed her and transcribed her words for this post)

Also check back this young sis is making moves and all that she does is honoring her bruh bruh who lost his life way too young. RISE IN PEACE in you knew him and want to say something to honor him (no haterjabber) please email me, or make a comment.

FREE STYLES FOR DAYS

Check this video of the one and only RU SAK (orukusaki) hes got free styles for days and just by kicking it in his vicinity i kicked up my freestyleing skills and you should too

Born in Berkeley California, Bay Area native 'OrukusaKi' raps conscious lyrics over abstract and original style hip-hop beats. Once known as one of the "Champion" battle rappers on the west coast, OrukusaKi left the Battle Rap circuit in the mid 2000's to focus more on music and Hip-Hop Development. A strong believer that Hip-Hop Music is a powerful tool and should be used to unite people and strengthen communities, he writes his songs to inspire different thoughts and ideas for action and social justice. One of the original founders of the Bay Area Hip-Hop group 'Forensic Science', OrukusaKi continued working with other groups and on music projects after the group disbanded(2007) to pursue other interests. After many years of hard work recording and performing in the Bay Area music scene and abroad(LA, New York, Seattle) Orukusaki has had the chance to share stages and open up for acts such as Digable Planets, KRS One, Tone Loc, Inspecta Deck; Killah Priest(wu-tang), Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Immortal Technique, Zion I & Crown City Rockers. Currently he is performing solo and working with a variety of bands in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as producers from Japan, Chicago, LA, and Seattle

RARE BREEDS WHO PLANT SEEDS

ms. .....M E L I N A:.

.:....:..Jones = rare...breed....indeed:..::.:...

Some people have big hearts and make me love the world twice as much as i did before they came into my life. Melina Jones easily fits this category (and when i say fitting categories i mean break open boxes and shining ions that are similar to the ones i see in my heart) just by the talent in her right hand pinky alone. I will admit i have slept on this Emcees music a bit or i guess admired from a far, but that is all about to change. Thank god i was re-introduced to the Genius of MJ's lyricism again when this one painting the Town greenish blue at there (DO DAT-MELINA JONES THE BRIDGE) video because it pretty much saved my life (the re-introduction of fresh musica that is). I could go on all day and drown myself in dopeness that is this like minded artist but that would do no good, rather it is a must that you get a taste of this one for yourself and casually and naturally i actually gaurentee love after just a few listens (if not i will reverse clocks build bridges paint peace in the streets and make pigs fly away and give you 10% of me). Before you do (check the MUSICA) know that she is a rare breed for many reasons and in the league of the most talented emcees on the planet. (period notice there was no f to the e male in there because this rare species holds herrr own and and can knock out yo favorite rapper with her lyrics best believe)

WITH NO FURTHER WOMP WOMP---->>(click)>>>THE MUSICA

n buy it not because she need you to buy her album but because you gon

need that music in yo ear when there aint no internet streaming and somebodies screaming

and if you got it on the ipod or the lap top or the something that plays music you will have a

plethora of tracks to keep you relaxed...

By the way have yall heard just RELAX--->

OK now that you have got acquainted theres another reason for this post and its almost ( and by almost i mean it is completly and extremly) more important than my favorite thing on earth (the MUSICA) and that is the concept of A MOTHER BEING A MAMA (loveing)----> so for THAT this MISS gets the award of 2010 for FLY MAMA (alert) and that doesnt go to anybody who has a basketball in their tummy for 9 months, ya feel me. All mamas deserve props but i save this award for the extra special mamas that deal and keep it real and put there childrens well being first even when it mean the battles the keys to heart being thrown around like a tug-a-war game and mean words getting bounce at you and back and forth like a ping pong game. and i cant forget about the good worth a magnet for your fridge moments the first step first smile first dance first free-style day of school raising a beautiful species that reminds you of yourself. Raising a seed to grow into a beautiful tree of life is the freshest thing ever, so the most high propers goes to M to the e LINA! best believe she has continued and impacted my believer dreamer attitude in the world immensly. REAL recognize REAL and this award aint going to nobody else this year but her, happy mamas day is everyday not just the one in may, we would all not be here, and if your like me you see em everytime you look in the mirror. Words can't express, the appreciation i have that this empress exists on this particular planet, and to add to the beautifulness she resides on the continent and vincinity, known as the sfc (how could i not feel blessed by that alone).

With Eyes Wide and a deep breathe one time

CREATIVE EYES

W. O. W.

This birthday was amazing i feel so blessed to have shared it with so

many people that I love. Thank you to all the people that came thru. And to yall that didnt and tried well celebrate soon (smile) and those that i didnt call i apologize (said wit a accent ana smile ya noo) ill catch you next time. ((And to those here in spirit smiling down on me thank you, you are my angels and im working

to make you proud)). I still need to process and meditate on this whole thing thang

to make my words make sense and ill post some pictures taken by my sister homegirl

and fellow artista Mercedes Martin soon.

If i could choose three words to represent my life as a 22 year old itwould be: evolve. Grace. and free. Many other words make sense such as

change is god but those are the ones that were not so constant (or i didnt own there constance) before this year. I found my grace this year on a different level. I freed myself

on a different level as well.and o how i evolved (the evolution of a

wrenagade) anyway.

Coming into this year the night i turned 22 i spent it with Katiana my sister from another mama and Jennifer Johns, and a DownLo full of

people yo. It was great i was honored by Jenn's shout outs as she mc'd the event. I danced my ass off and had a blastoff.But there were lots of events that followed that night that were struggles, and i thank god that i went through them because they brought me to Here and Now.

This is only the beginning there is so much more in store its not even the first day of life (as a twenty tres year old) so as i sit in the wome of my creativity know that you, cus you are me, mean the world to me. Now ready set go lets get free!!! Braaaaaaaa

Much Love to you foreal.

Pass it on.
