Change IV a Dollar

Greetings, my faithful readers..

Seeing as you have been so patient with my development, as well as my blog's, I would like to give you a little more insight of the woman on the other side of the screen. If you're not interested, please disregard.

In the last few months, I have experienced many changes; all of which left me either an emotional basketcase, spontaneously blissful, vulnerable, responsibly irresponsible, or dead broke. My sister has gotten married (Still, wow.) & our relationship is constantly strengthening, I landed an amazing position working with kids, and a vast chapter in my life has, since, passed but with it came an overwhelming, positive outlook on my life & future. It's funny how one becomes so adjusted to the smoke that they only realize they couldn't see 10 steps in front of them until the smoke has cleared. And although my future is not completely visible, it is becoming clearer. Until then, I am taking all of the necessary steps to ensure I am ready to hit the ground running. I, once, heard that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

I am bursting at the seams with motivation and enthusiasm. Lately, I've been inspired by absolutely everything; a very invaluable feeling. I'm learning how to channel my emotions, rather than bottle them, to accept my quirky flaws as a component of my character, and to accept responsiblity even if it is that of someone else. Why, yes. I am high off life (fuck it, I'm wasted).

I find that I laugh too loudly, I'm only sociable when it is convenient for me, I take people for granted, I'm almost always pessimistic, and that I am too impatient with those who do not think the way I do.
So.What.

I have tried new things, spoke to new people, expanded my horizons, done things I would normally refuse to do, walked aimlessly, smiled without purpose, and have opened up to more people in the last 3 months than I have done in 5 years.
I'm on this whole "PRO-LIFE" kick; which can make me pretty annoying from time to time. No, I'm not always optimistic or in high spirits but I am always genuine and looking forward. I'd like for you to be a part of my journey.

I recently purchased what has become one of my most impactful purchases. Once used as a coping mechanism, it quickly grew into an entirely new approach to life & gaining what it is I am seeking.

It reminds me, on a daily basis, to sever the ties that bind me. It is never too late to rebuild burned bridges, forgive, forget, accept, rekindle, restart, or redo. Personally, professionally, emotionally, scholastically, whatever.

Find the beauty in every day, my friends.

Signed,

ChangeIV

Adidas Plimsolls Auction on eBay


One of several outstanding images of some awesome vintage Adidas plimsolls. Click on the title to visit the auction.

Converse Star Player from Size?

I can't decide whether I love these or not.



I should love them because:
1. White Xhi Star Players? What's not to like??
2. Ten lace-holes is good

But I dislike them because:
1. Leather not canvas
2. That blue line at the back of the toecap.

Click on the title to visit the excellent Size? website. Excellent design and presentation, I'm just not sure about these sneaks...

Today I am mostly wearing


...Awesome vintage yellow hitop Chucks.

Surplus Dope Suff

I don't know if many of you know, but I thoroughly enjoy Kanye West; his talent, antics, etc.
I, personally, believe that if Kanye West wasn't Kanye West, and I had a penis, I would be Kanye West.
Yes.

He was recently featured in a French Mag called Liberation Next (check the french article here.):


Here is an excerpt from the article. Pure and unabashed genuity.

He almost considers relationship like a contract, the other person is a partner, kids: the mandatory accessory. “Real rock stars, he said, one day get married and have rock stars babies.” More or less engaged to Amber Rose, a model spectacularly dressed in pink, he does not delude himself. "Of course women are attracted by celebrity, money, the illusion of 'love me for who I am' is stupid/an idiocy, we are no longer in college, I am f*cking Kanye West."

West does not respect anything. "Religions? Not more than fashion brands. Fans? Pffft. Art? Of course. If I wanted to be rich, says Kanye West, I would have created a line of T-Shirt with a bear, my emblem of the very first years”


Oh, Kanye.
