Lifes Vitamins: So What?

At times.. Relationships can end ugly..as shit. People do not take somethings too well, and breakups happens to be one of those. We all take them differently, but we can all agree on that being friends is pretty much fucking impossible... so a bit of remedy for your thoughts:


so im just supposed to to let you go huh?
forget all the things i let you know huh?
everything that was built just got tore up
just a maybe that i might of got to know love
u looking at me like so what?
and all i can say is hold  up
trying to grab ya hand but all i get is ya shoulder
only question is for what?
this feeling is such a cold rush
cut is deep but i shed no blood
so we turn to strangers
and the only time we speak is when the other needs a favor
i can hear ya screams but i cant stop to save ya
cause them tears so easy to spot on ya make up
that loneliness touches hearts when you wake up
you start ya day with a prayer
asking god to save us
cause you feel like i gave up
told the truth on my life so why lie
beauty in this thing is i can say that i tried
this time flies
its on you to turn this bitter sweet situation into fine wine
and if not.. then i guess i gotta live my life

Good Fridays

Making a Mark



I walk in to the home of Flash Niper, a newcomer to the makeup world. Clearly Flash is not her real name. She’s somehow created a persona for herself combining the surname she was given by friends, preceding the alleged last name of the Joker: the arch nemesis of DC Comic’s Batman.
“Sorry, I’m almost finished.” She beckons while finishing up a game of Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 on her large flat-screen television. I watch on. She makes a character that somewhat resembles herself; the green hair, the tattoos, the multiple piercings that grace her face. Flash is your typical double-take, yet her appearance, while startling to some, compliments her quiet demeanor.
Flash Niper, born Marae Lezama, is a 19 year old freelance make-up artist born in Queens, New York. While a new face (she’s only been an artist for 1 year), she has experience and an understated professionalism about her. As we ready for the interview, she does not hesitate to show me her work. As I glanced though her portfolio, I’ve noticed a trend; she uses themes in her photo shoots. “I like themes because it shows that I can create multiple ideas from one basic idea. It emphasizes my versatility,” She explains. One of the themes she uses is VAMP, where the styling and makeup is inspired by vampires. Her personal style vividly reflects itself in all of her work.
A client arrives to get their make-up done. “We can still continue the interview,” Flash exclaims nonchalantly. We move downstairs, where she works. It is a full make-up studio. There are chairs and a trunk full of all of her supplies. Flash takes her time to turn on a loud, heavy metal song. “It’s A7X… it keeps me going.” Music is a key factor in all of her work as she goes on explaining, “I can’t focus unless I have music that drives me. The music genre changes depending on the occasion.”
Flash has done make-up for numerous events including local fashion shows as well as well known magazines, like The Source Magazine. She has done the makeup from the likes of Rosa Acosta and local TV stations like The MNN Network. Her hard work and effort is paying off slowly bringing her talents to the forefront.
Flash has many inspirations including Kat Von D and Pink. “I admire their nonchalant attitudes… I find women like this empowering. They both made it on their own.” Flash is following in their footsteps. She hopes to become a world renowned freelance makeup artist. With as many accolades as she already possesses, she cannot be anything but great.

Memory Lane- Frankie Lymon

The 50s & 60s , to me at least, happen to be the golden ages of music. There was so much to pick from, so much talent, so much to fall in love with. I have been a fan of Frankie Lymon for a few years now. You may have heard of him, maybe not. Here is a song that will have you fall in love with his sound.

G.O.O.D. Friday- Devil In A New Dress







Kanye has came through again on friday with a blessing.

Look Out For: Tales of Mere Existence



I'm a realist. I experience real events and face real situations. I am a fan of reality. I enjoy the dissection of it and appreciate simple thing. These are traits I share with Lev Yilmaz. Lev is a writer who can turn simple actions, that you may even subconsciously do, and events into a two minute, well described, life altering video as he illustrates the scenario. The video series is called Tales of Mere Existence. Lev Yilmaz also published a book this past year titled Sunny Side Down. This is one of my favorite videos he's made.
