Rebirth Issue #5: Frank Lloyd Wright x Lego...

Ok, I lied...Though this is architecture, this is not the dope architecture I promised in the post before this one...I say this because I am a dork so most people wouldn't find this nearly as interesting as I do; so I apologize...And two of the the things that I am a HUGE dork for - Frank Lloyd Wright and Lego - have joined forces to create a mini-scaled version of my absolute favorite FLW structure - Falling Water...Falling Water is one of FLW's most famous structures and its design puts modern designs to shame even though it was built in 1935...So yes, I'm excited...All my little nerdy-girl fantasies slowly come true...That is all...

Memories: By Chira Martin...

Chira is my best friend...She's the best friend a gal could have...And before I turn into a soggy-eyed sap, I'll end this by stating how blessed I am to have so many talented people in my life...

MEMORIES

They flow over and downwards and pool where thoughts have crossed only to be misunderstood. Their overture to an audience yearning for pleasure incites revulsion instead. Abruptly, they cease and are held in reserve until sensibility revisits the senses.

Happy Birthday Deshaun Holton aka Proof aka Dirty Harry aka My Heart...

Something you all may not know about me because I don't speak on it much as it is still a great sadness in my heart...There is not a week that goes by that I do not think about this great man and there is not a week that goes by that I do not shed a tear for him...His name was Deshaun...I always refused to call him by his rap name 'Proof'...I have so many lovely memories of this man and I guess that's part of the heartache too...He was my one and only love and my number one mentor...He taught me how to be a better person and how to fight for what you really want out of life even if it hurts so bad you want to quit...HE taught me how to write...I am more than grateful to him for this lesson alone...HE taught me how to read the dictionary to expand my vocabulary...HE taught me how to challenge my own mental capacity...He taught me what love is and how it hurts...He is the reason I am the woman I am today...The good and the bad of who I am...But mostly good...He is the epitome of love...He is greatly missed by me but I know HE walks by my side all day, every day...I find comfort in the fact that, as he promised, he never left my side...And he never will...Today is the celebration of your born day too DeShaun...And tonight I'm gonna party like we always did...In true Libra fashion...We are so proud to be who we are and we never falter for anyone...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESHAUN, I LOVE YOU UNTIL THE END OF TIME...

I wear this proudly...

Remember how I said I was a ROCKSTAR????...

"So what, I'm still a rock star, I got my rock moves, and I don't want you tonight"...Pink always manages to make a song to fuel my anger at the MOST appropriate times...

I'd pay '5 milli'...Jimi Hendricks=Genius

On a warm March night back then in 1967, Jimi Hendrix displayed awesome showmanship playing his Fender Stratocaster at Finsbury Park in London. He wowed the audiences with classics such as “The Wind Cries Mary” and “Purple Haze.” The acclaimed guitarist and rock god did not stop at just enthralling the audience, but also did the shocking act of burning a guitar the first time in his life. The incident itself was notorious enough to make the guitar an object of great value. Collectors and rock pilgrims have waited and hunted for the Fender Stratocaster for years and finally, it was found in a garage last year.

The guitar has the telltale burn marks and is going to please any collector. The guitar will be auctioned at the Idea Generation gallery in London and is expected to raise about $886,000. The auction includes many other rock memorabilia such as John Bonham’s (Led Zeppelin) drum kit and Elvis Presley’s last remaining fingerprints. The “It’s More Than Rock and Roll” memorabilia auction is likely to attract a number of collectors from all over the world. If you wish to own the coveted Fender Stratocaster, you know how much you may need to shell out.
