THE FUTILITY OF INSECURITIES

Hello people, welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a blessed day. Today I want to write about something I just watched on YouTube called the “Celebrities who have fallen victim to their own insecurities”. Please note that I am not writing this article to botch the increasing demand for plastic surgeries in the world today; but I am writing this to tell you and all who are thinking of augmenting or “correcting” your perceived flaws that you have nothing to be ashamed of. They say that there are two sides to every coin but so let me state one side of the coin. The first is, you want to look pretty and acceptable to others. When you are a movie buff life me, you tend to idolize people who the media have termed “beautiful” because they have certain features that they lack. For instance someone would like to have the chiselled jaw of Michael Douglas, the puffy lips of Angelina Jolie, the chin dimple of Michael Douglas, the Hourglass frame of Halle Berry and so on. We forget th...

WHAT MAKES A FATHER

Hello once again, sorry about being late for this Father’s day piece but I want to write something about this special day. I want to dedicate this piece to my father. So many people are not fortunate to have a father due to circumstances beyond their control; for that I offer my condolences. Last year, I wrote a piece concerning Father’s Day titled, Evolution from Boyhood to Manhood . Check it out.

THE HUMAN PRICE TAG

Hello folks, and welcome to another time with yours truly. Today, I want to talk about a controversial subject matter titled “The Human Price Tag”. I am sure you might be asking, “What on earth made this guy choose this topic”? Well it’s because I have seen what is happening in our society when it comes to relationships, beauty and societal class.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN MEDIOCRITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Hello people, how are you? (Not quoting Adele here LOL) I want to resume something I started last year which is the THIN LINE SERIES. Today I want to talk about when professionalism can turn to mediocrity and how thin the line is between these two variables. Before I begin, I want to give my personal definition of who a professional is and who a mediocre is. A professional is someone who takes the time to practice a particular craft to the point you are an authority on that particular subject/craft. A mediocre on the other hand, only knows the basics of a particular craft and sticks to his/her “guns” thinking it is the “end all, be all” of that particular specialty.

THE BEST YOU

Hello, welcome to my blog. I hope you have enjoyed reading my previous articles, if you haven’t, please click on the PREVIOUS hyperlink to read other articles that come out of this crazy head of mine. Today, I want to write about being the best you that you can be. The source for this topic comes from a quote by popular Country Artist Blake Sheldon in the popular TV Talent show, THE VOICE. What does it take to be the best you that you can be? This question has been ringing in my head each time I repeat that episode of the voice where Blake Sheldon said these words “I just want to help you be the best you that you can be”. There are situations where people have little to no faith in you and say that you do not have what it takes to be like someone as great as Nat King Cole, Bill Gates, Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson and other notable figures in world history.

THE WRONG KIND OF RIGHT

Hello once again, sorry for the long absence; I have been on a “personal retreat” trying to jolt the creative outlet of my brain. Today, I want to write about the common misconceptions brought about in movies that are being incorporated by our society. Today, I am going to get physical on this article citing various trends that is affecting our society negatively. What is right and what is wrong? This is a pretty peculiar question that man has tried to answer since the beginning of time. If what I am doing is wrong, then why does this feel so good? And if what I am doing is good, why do I still feel the same? Well that does not happen always. The difference between right and wrong is as clear as day. If you do what is right, you will feel better about it and the guilt of it will not scar you but doing what is wrong may have long lasting consequences that might outlive you. Today, I want to talk about the vices that plague our society and the vices that are seen as right when t...

VIRGINITY: VIRTUE OR BURDEN

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you are reading my article for the first time, I am humbled that you took the sweet time out of your busy schedule to read my blog. Well I hope you enjoy this topic. If you have any questions, comments, or criticisms, my contacts are below this article. Today I want to write about a phenomenon that is becoming extinct in our society, that is, VIRGINITY. According to by trusty English Dictionary app, a virgin is “a person who has never had sexual intercourse, or sometimes, one who has never engaged in any sexual activity at all".

TALENT AND HARDWORK

Webster’s dictionary defines talent as “a special often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude”. Today there are several talented people in the entertainment game. And only few have taken the variable of hard work out of the equation of success. Greats like James Brown, Lionel Richie, Toni Braxton, and others had some basic training. But there are others who totally rely on their God given talent have been known to fail later on in their careers. My perfect example would be Usher Raymond AKA USHER. He is a talented singer and worked hard on himself and improved and matured from My Way to Climax. He started from singing normal tunes to adding falsetto effects in his voice which stepped up his game and gave him hits like DIVE, LEMME SEE, etc. He received positive criticism for his growth.
