show me the world
September 24th, 2009 | Author: pinkaay
Throughout my life, I haven’t traveled very much. Traveling all over the world has always been a dream of mine. I want to explore how others live, not only in different cities, but different states, countries, islands, continents, you name it! Within the past few years, I’ve traveled out of Orlando more than I have in my whole life.
A little history on Pinky: I was born in Manhattan, NY. I lived there and in Yonkers for a bit until my fam moved down here to Orlando…where we’ve been ever since…same house and all.
I get these cravings and wants to travel and take vacations. Most likely because work and school = normal day to day life and I want more excitement other than Orlando. My list of places I’ve been is pretty pathetic, but some places I’m so glad I got to see and would visit again.

WE ARE LASERS!

Lupe Fiasco is one of my favorite artists. To see hip-hop artists these days still making music with a message just gives me hope that music isn’t doomed to just club bangers and music to dance to. Not only does his songs have meaning and/or a story behind it, but his new album Lasers is about change in our world today and how we can try to make this world a better place to live.
Check out his new track: Shining Down by Lupe Fiasco ft. Matthew Santos
TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN & CHILD: WE WANT AN END TO THE GLAMORIZATION OF NEGATIVITY IN THE MEDIA | WE WANT AN END TO THE STATUS SYMBOLS DICTATING OUR WORTH AS INDIVIDUALS | WE WANT A MEANINGFUL AND UNIVERSAL EDUCATION SYSTEM | WE WANT SUBSTANCE IN THE PLACE OF POPULARITY | WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE WHO WE ARE TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE CROWD | WE WANT THE INVISIBLE WALLS THAT SEPARATE BY WEALTH, RACE & CLASS TO BE TORN DOWN | WE WANT TO THINK OUR OWN THOUGHTS | WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT | WE WANT CLARITY & TRUTH FROM OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS OR THEY SHOULD MOVE ASIDE | WE WANT LOVE NOT LIES | WE WANT TO END ALL WARS FOREIGN & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE | WE WANT AN END TO THE PROCESSED CULTURE OF EXPLOITATION, OVER-CONSUMPTION & WASTE | WE WANT KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING & PEACE | WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS! | LASERS ARE THE OPPOSITE OF LOSERS | LASERS ARE SHINING BEAMS OF LIGHT THAT BURN THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF IGNORANCE | LASERS SHED LIGHT ON INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY | LOSERS STAND BY AND LET THINGS HAPPEN. LASERS ACT AND SHAPE THEIR OWN DESTINIES | LASERS FIND MEANING AND DIRECTION IN THE MYSTERIES ALL AROUND THEM | LASERS STAND FOR LOVE AND COMPASSION | LASERS STAND FOR PEACE | LASERS STAND FOR PROGRESSION | LASERS ARE REVOLUTIONARY | LASERS ARE THE FUTURE
