so its been over a month since ive posted on this blog of mine,. I blame my busy schedule and TUMBLR for that. Its so much easier to quicky post things to tumblr from my phone than having to come on the computer to post blogs. I may just completely switch over to TUMBLR so make sure you go follow me !

---> now this is just ridiculous. smh
Very recently Sketchers launched their newest product called Bobs. With every pair of shoes sold, a pair is given to a child in need. Sound familiar? look familiar? .. Not only did Sketchers copy the entire concept behind the Toms movement, but they mirrored the design and overall astetic of the brand. Being charitable because of the meaning behind it is one thing .. being charitable for marketing purposes is another.
Its not just about how you give, its why you give. The founder of Toms, Blake Mycoskie, had traveled to Argentina in which he met countless barefoot children. This powerful & authentic experience is what inspired him to do good. He and his team took a great financial risk with the business model they chose to create.
Copying the concept is not the upsetting part. Blake actually hoped to set an example for other businesses to imitate. But to mirror the whole concept so blatantly showed a lack of originality and creativity. So far from genuine, Sketchers set themselves up for ridicule.
---> lesson is ; do not give in vain.

L.I.F.E
Lead . Inspire . Fulfill . Exceed
Thanks to everyone who helped out and everyone who came to support, my birthday/project release party was everything I envisioned it to be. Special thanks to all the performers. Got to see all my favorite musician friends on one stage ! The fact that I got to hand pick everything about this night and watch it all play out accordingly made this special moment in my life all the more special. It was pretty dope to be able to bring all my worlds together even just for one night of music, laughter and a few drinks .. We shall be doing this again soon. God is good.
love & be loved.

never wanted to be your midnight cry. never intended to be your hunger pain. never imagined i would be the one to turn off the light,close the door & leave you in the dark. being that of which i once persecuted. an unintentional double standard. the epitome of an unexplainable accident, yet guilty as charged. apologies dont heal wounds so time will have to suffice .. but if its any constellation, im sorry.
