Speaker Shotgun: The Archandroid

I wish I were the speaker to this computer. It gets to hear all my favorite music before I do. Riding shotgun next to the speakers to @JanelleMonae. I haven't heard a sound like this from an artist in aHwhile. Her music, persona... This album makes me feel like Carmen San Diego... Where in the world?! I love everything about her!

Passwords As A Psychic

I mark the memory of them on a login screen. Type text, in a little box. For a moment in time I could almost relive meetings of our paths. Then I press enter and on to the next screen... "J_BabyD102 is now following you on twitter!" and all is forgotten until the next login.

I'm not sure as to why I honor those from my past by creating them a custom made memory head stone. One that I visit almost everyday, several times a day even. Now I wonder is it a means of me being able to predict who comes and goes in my life? Speaking a short lived relationship, friendship or acquaint ship into existence?Initially I create the password because its easy to remember. "Easy to remember hard to forget"?... In a way. But I think I rationalize it as "easy to remember, not a challenge".

I often keep those in my life who I feel I can learn from and genuinely can like on a regular basis, lol. I mean, when they're at what is considered their best and when they're at their moodiest. A person who's flaws I can live with because I can see the good in them and one who won't try to change me because we're different people.

In my subconscious state, creating email passwords with HINTS about a person that is in present in my life at the time of setting up a new account, is a sign of a FUTUR HISORTY. No one anticipates being a memory, nothing more nothing less.Some good memories, some bad, some faint.

Interestingly enough, one thing I can say is that I don't see myself creating any new email accounts any time soon. For now everyone in my life is safe from elimination.

23

I've heard the number 23 to be in the list of lucky numbers. It was MJ's number on the Bulls...And I am in Chicago...I wonder what luck that I'll have with it. Well its been 23 days since my last post. Since then I've literally lost and regained my connection to this small big world that we live in. Since then I've lost contact with someone and regained a connection with a higher being. That makes me cool. I've made new friends. Some who I consider family... in these short long 23 days. Amazing. I've walked several familiar paths and I'm still walking...

These are a few songs that are the biography of my past 23 days:

Kid Cudi- Soundtrack to My Life
Jill Scott- Long Walk
Monica- Don't Take It Personal
Common- The Light
Ryan Leslie- Guardian Angel

At the age of 23, I'm hoping that from here, my journey continues to be enlightening, so that I may learn and from there enlighten others.

Thought of The Day

Everybody gets knocked down, how quick are you going to get up? Because that will have a lot to do with what happens next. The longer you stay down, the easier it is for you to forget that you once knew how to stand.

Thought of the Day:

We all envision things that we want, but we shouldn't rush into them because we believe in them now. If you can continue to see and believe in it, then you've really got something. We learn more from taking our time. That assures the ending result to be a good one.
