So Far To Go (featuring Common & D'Angelo) / J Dilla / The Shining

Let go, and let me live inside you
What your mouth don’t say, baby your thighs do..
I want us to arrive to -
gether, I love it when the weather
is wet and sticky, some depict me
as being conscious, yeah I use my head
It was you that fed, my appetite for seduction
Bitin and cussin, makin love and uh!
Touchin where no one has ever touched before
The heat, got you open like an oven door
Because of your innocence
even more you’ll remember this, hardcore gentleness..
Before you wasn’t into this
On the ride, your freak became limitless…
Holdin on to the night and me tight
as we write on the walls…a story called “Go”

O rey Chori - Lagaan

This movie always brings back so many memories. Hanging with friends back in the day, they were watching the movie (Lagaan) for the millionth time, and me for the very first time. Fell in love ever since. On a practical note, it helped me understand the game of cricket a whole lot!

Leomie Anderson & Harry Uzoka ( Models & real life couple ) in “True Story” for The Ones2Watch

True Story : Harry saw Leomie for the first time while watching the Channel 4 documentary series The Model Agency. He turned to his mother and declared that Leomie was the girl he wanted to marry. After much e-stalking, Harry managed to woo Leomie via Twitter. They have been together ever since. Harry’s mum is still in shock.

Awww. Very inspiring. This gives me the drive to continue to pursue the girl I want. 

e-a-r-t-h-t-o-n-e / Hello. I really love the Afrocentric, soulful vibe in your blog. I wish I had a room inspired by the photos you have on your page. Blogs like yours continues to make me love my culture and my race.

I am honored… It’s sort of recent feeling actually. Well originally I am from the Ivory Coast, so I guess the love is already in my blood. And it’s something I can really relate to, not because of my skin color, but simply because I feel inspired, comfortable around it, and inches closer to Home whenever I discover and get wowed. It’s a journey and an education. And actually a lot of posts from your blog speak to me as well. So I thank you

…The Believer
If I were a believer, I believe I would believe in the beginning
Everybody’s beginning
Mine, that my very first ancestors were front row and present
When God stepped to the mic
I believe from the creation of the Garden of Eden
The separation of the tribes
Our long marches across the desert
Being kids
For instincts born in caves of ice
All, each and every one, the souls of one God
Granted earthly existence to allow each to earn
The blessing of transcending, time-traveling throughout the universe
With the blessings and well-wishes of my fathers, prophets of my own
No search, no steer, no mysteries
We inherit the power to turn nightmares into dreams
For those of us who come from less than circumstances
Dreams. good dreams, sweet dreams, dreams come true
Truthful dreams, truthful dreams become life
Life becomes belief, belief becomes live!
Live the life you believe
The American dream, the black American dream, the universal dream
For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God
I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings
I believe in Dr. Saviour, I believe we must stop Willie Lynch’n mention
Each other
I believe in the truth, truth
See you next lifetime

Yuna
Huge crush on her.
