A month later and my feelings have yet to change Nick Waterhouse and The Tarots are love. I'm working on doing what I say I will no matter how long that takes.

I just order a mattress and purchase sheets today my room is well on its way to becoming my creative space.

Lisabeth Salander is such an amazing character read the books first.

 I've been cooking alot lately trying to fill a void. It doesnt help that the girl scouts are out at every corner selling their legalized crack.

Until Then.

Nickwater House and The Tarots.

I went and saw Theophilius London last night and Nick Waterhouse and The Tarots was one of the opening acts. I was blown away his voice was wonderful and his band was perfection. Theophilius's music is going in a different direction then what Im used to. I cant say I dont like its just different. Now that I live in San Francisco I plan on going to alot more shows. I took pictures and will post them once I get them developed. Another Jesse Boykins show was added in SF and Im going to that one too. So thrusday and friday will be two days in a row of beautiful music Im so excited for this week.

This Is Real Life.

So I opened my email today to find quite a wonderful surprise..Jesse Boykins III is coming to San Francisco!!!! I will most definitely be there. The whole time I was running over to the bank to deposit money into my account I kept saying " this is not real life" but it is so real it leaves me at a loss for words.

Sadly I lost my camara the other night at a muni station but I will find a way to capture what is most definitely going to be an amazing night.

If you would like to partake in an evening of magical beauty the date is January 27th the space is 103 Harriet in San Francisco. You can find tickets here

Thoughts Hold The Power To Create or Destroy.

I made the move to San Francisco and its one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I have no bed right now and I just found a full time job today. I really had no plan moving out, I had my two months of rent and no job and I'm still just taking it day by day. Things are beautiful San Francisco is the place I've need to be for quite sometime. I feel at peace here and I think alot of it has to do with my thought process changing. Sometimes you just have to go not knowing what the outcome will be thats where greatest surprise are stored. Im excited to see how this chapter in my life unfold and I will do my best to keep you updated on my progress. I start working tomorrow so I am looking forward to meeting new friends, finding a bed and table for my room.

Keep your thoughts positive and believe you are capable of doing anything and everything. The doors you will be able to unlock will amaze you.

30(One) Days: The End but Its Really A Beginning.

To A New Year.

    

Images from the past year.

I've realized while thinking back on this year it has not been the greatest for me emotionally. I was spending alot of time trying to resist what is that Im suppost to do. Intution is a gift that we all have the voice or feeling that guides you along your path. Honestly today was the first day I realized I spent this past year doing everything I could to avoid listening to that voice. These past couple of months I started doing things differently. I finally was honest with myself and my parents with regards to me finishing school. I've realized at this point in my life I'm not focus enough to really appreciate the process of going to school. I told my dad and he said everyone has their own path to follow. Fear was what kept me going down the path I was on and I could not understand why I was so unhappy. Why I felt these constant feelings of defeat like no matter what I was doing it wasn't enough. It was once I started to strip the unneccesary away and doing things that make me happy. Spending more time by myself, writing, reflecting, not answering phone calls, interviewing other bloggers, investing in a camara, cutting my hair off, visiting friends, having friends visit, taking trips to san francisco, and breathing. I started to feel at peace I do realize this is something that I'm going to have to work at everyday. I have to stop avoiding having conversation where I put myself out there. Admiting this to you, the loves who read my blog what I've been going through is extremely hard. Nothing worth having is easy. Nothing at all and this is what this past year has taught me. Im excited to change and have new experiences. To start living for myself and creating a life that Im excited to share with others.

This new year brings alot of challenges that I'm very excited about. Im starting a new internship in San Francisco and moving there, I plan on taking more pictures, and finding a new job.

Happy New Year, I hope your able to find a moment to reflect on your previous year. Thank you to all my lovely readers you really keep me going.

30(One) Days: My First Pair of Fryes

I would find these beauties when I'm running low on funding and do my best to save. They were half off so they cost me 2.50 so I most definitely could not leave them. Thank you Salivation Army for your new years sale.

Blogger Interview: Musings of Krav

Maricia Josephs the blogger behind Musing of Krav is another lovely addition to what is easily become my favorite part of  blogging my blogger interviews.  I think its really important to reach out to indviduals I find that are inspiring and ask question to learn about their personal journeys. I have alot of respect for maricia she's going to school, interning, and running a blog. She does an amazing job of showing how hard she's working and how important it is to her to make sure that she follows through on achieving her goals. I hope you enjoy her interview and make sure to stop by her blog.

1. Hey doll let us know something's about you, where are you from? What keeps you inspired and moving forward in your life?

I'm a dreamer whose life goal is to bring each dream to reality by any means possible. I'm from New York, Queens to be exact (dances in seat). Love is what keeps me inspired and moving forward. Love is the root of all things in my life, so when I sit and think of the love I have for journalism, family and life itself it fuels everything that I do.

2. Where are you attending school and I see your interning too. What is it like having to juggle your time between school and interning?

I go to CAU in Atlanta and I intern with Atlanta Tastemaker magazine which is a fairly new publication. Juggling both can be stressful at times because I like to give my all to each. I always find myself going to a place in my mind where I just get in the zone and get everything done because this is what I want. Once you find that medium you'll understand how to manage your time and become organized. When you work in the real world there are no excuses.

3. Writing is a big part of how you express yourself through blog what are some other areas you find interest in?

I love photography,clothing and playing soccer. I take a million pictures a day of myself and so many other things and people. I don't showcase my photos often because I want to get better at it. I think photography is an amazing art form when its practiced the right way. As far as clothing, I love to go shopping. Funny thing is I'm not into fashion at all, I focus on style. Putting different colors and patterns together, great tailoring and cool jewelry. Soccer allows me to get out my stress and unused energy. Each of these interests bring me self fulfillment.

4. You showcase some work from different inspiring individuals throughout your blog from Basquiat, to solange knowles, and bloggers Mrs.riot and Dank&&Dapper just to name a few. Do you find that its important to connect with individuals your hope to gain knowledge from?

Its VERY important to connect with other bloggers, especially ones that inspire you. Whether its a simple email or an interview you can learn so much and even gain an opportunity from another person who expresses them self in a similar manner.

5. With how quickly time moves it can become frustrating when you feel as if your working towards achieving a goal or creating an idea and it does not seem to be come together quickly enough. How do you find your peace within going along the road to achieving your goals?

When that happens, I worry because I know that time waits for no one. I remember all the support I have from the individuals in my life and my strong faith in God. Everybody has a path in life to follow and we all have a purpose. Everything happens as it should and things are best not rushed. When I think and remember all of this, I find my peace.

6. What type of music do you loose yourself in?

Music is important to me, especially because I've found ways to connect my emotions to it. I love Hip Hop, R&B, soul, rock, techno, dub step, reggae and even country. As long as I can connect to it, I like it. When it comes to completely loosing myself I like to listen to beat tapes as opposed to a song with somebody rapping or singing over it. The different melodies that producers put together to make a cohesive sound relax

me.

7. Now that the craziness of Christmas is coming to an end. What are you looking forward to in the new year?

SO MUCH ! , I'm looking forward to finishing my sophomore year and becoming a junior, I'm looking forward to becoming a better writer and photographer, I'm looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people, Finishing my current internship and landing a summer one that I've been wanting forever ( crosses fingers) . . . I'm just looking forward to living life and growing as a human being. I'm excited experience what life has in store for me and what I have in store for myself !

Lol.

8. Your blog's name has a story behind it would you mind telling us where that came from?

I get asked this question all the time. I love Kenny Kravitz. When I was much younger I was introduced to his music by my mom and from that day I've kept up with all his albums,collaborations and even his daughter Zoe. Kenny is loved by many including myself because of the simple fact the he is so unique, from his music to his style. Friends and family started calling me kravitz and I eventually shortened it to Krav. "Musings" are thoughts or reflections and that's what I wanted the blogs content to consist of,so that's how " Musings of Krav came to be.

9. What would be your advice on keeping positive energy in your life and staying on track to achieving your goals?

Indeed it is hard to stay positive all the time because life is . .you know life, but you can. My advice is to NEVER EVER give up and to listen to YOUR heart. Some people might not agree with your choices career wise, but so what? If you truly love and have the passion for something, you have to fight for it. It may be rough at times but knowing that one day you'll get there becomes enough to push you. Take chances, step out your comfort zone and never take no for an answer. Hard work doesn't go in vain.

Once I stop trying to control the images I capture I see things that are wonderful (It seems to be that way with everything). I took a picture of a picture I find it fun to take created images and distort them.
