Summer Lovin'

Care to know what I have been up tot his summer. There isn't much to say but I think photos a little taste. I just got a new iPhone 4S and so I will probably be using that until I can get a new camera. I have a few ideas for this blog I just need to get things in order. Nothing but changes from here on out.

Beautiful Words

To his Coy Mistress

by Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough, and time,

This coyness, lady, were no crime.

We would sit down and think which way

To walk, and pass our long love's day;

Thou by the Indian Ganges' side

Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide

Of Humber would complain. I would

Love you ten years before the Flood;

And you should, if you please, refuse

Till the conversion of the Jews.

My vegetable love should grow

Vaster than empires, and more slow.

An hundred years should go to praise

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;

Two hundred to adore each breast,

But thirty thousand to the rest;

An age at least to every part,

And the last age should show your heart.

For, lady, you deserve this state,

Nor would I love at lower rate.

        But at my back I always hear

Time's winged chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no more be found,

Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound

My echoing song; then worms shall try

That long preserv'd virginity,

And your quaint honour turn to dust,

And into ashes all my lust.

The grave's a fine and private place,

But none I think do there embrace.

        Now therefore, while the youthful hue

Sits on thy skin like morning dew,

And while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may;

And now, like am'rous birds of prey,

Rather at once our time devour,

Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.

Let us roll all our strength, and all

Our sweetness, up into one ball;

And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Thorough the iron gates of life.

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run. 

New Hair Color

Since going natural, I am truly learning to deal with my hair texture. I have tight spiral curls naturally and straightening them, especially after being braided so long was simply a poorly though out idea. As I try to find straightening methods, here is what I have for you to see. I am trying a new system (as seen in the picture below) to see how I like the products after a 2-3 week period. 

Tan & Black Tights

I had begged a close friend of mine, a male, to enter a store with me where I spotted these tights/pants through the open window. I still love them, Texas summer and all. Also, it's one of my favorite color combinations on my skin tone.

Kanye West "Lost In The World"

I recently wrote a short article on Kanye West's new film project for his song, and my personal favorite, Lost In The World for Jungle Gym Magazine. I would love for everyone to go and check it out. It's brilliantly put together. I think you guys especially will like the dancing. Some people think it was not done well, but I think it is much more of an artistic piece than something to promote him as an artist.
