Only Good Things
As time draws nearer to the future the past is at an angle because of the many changes we take moving forward. The outcome of our journey will only be shadowed by what we have accomplished. I do not wish credit for successes and am not satisfied with material temporary rubbish. The only thing that matters at this point and hopefully due to lack of temptation always will, is God. Do no evil.
May your hearts content be filled with lavish joys and luxurious love. Only good things to the point of no return and onward. Let the light shine through the window of opportunity and the wind open the door so both our feet can come in and take a seat in the chair in front of the mirror of truth. See yourself for what and who you are and let no mistakes bring doubt to your vision. Amongst us are many who wish to understand but never take the risk. For moving in the right direction only means the hardest roads lie ahead. Un-walked mysteries of man and spirit questioned but only answered through faith. Let us bask in your glory for it is not ours to have but for you to give.
Let us pray.
Breathtaking Portraits!
LJ.’s photostream on Flickr.
I don’t know how but I’ve seen many different posts on various websites and blogs about this so I couldn’t help but sharing.
I first seen it on DesignTaxi through my Pulse app on my Nook Tablet
and then I somehow ended up on LJ’s Flickr account and my mouth dropped!
This series of photographs left a huge impact on me because I had a similar project (which was never released) in the making a year ago in Baltimore City.
This is very inspiring work, and I salute Mr. LJ
Incredible.
My Stance
During a conversation today, I spoke about the world and current events. I spoke about politics and our future. The economy and its lack of improvement. I spoke about war and poverty. I touched on many important subjects and I was looked at weird for speaking the way I was at such an age, with such conviction. You can hear it in my voice and see it in my eyes, I mean business. A year ago I wasn’t interested in anything but a good time, music, and my girlfriend. I changed and I’m not going back.
I am for the people, I am faceless, and I am growing at a fast rate.
That’s just my stance.
From Bed Stuy To Bmore- 3 Years
I get asked all the time how long I’ve been in Baltimore, and without much thought I usually reply “I been here since Christmas of 2008” and let them do the math. It never really dawned on me until I realized that on the day Jesus Christ was born I left New York, 3 years ago, and restarted. I remember it like if it was yesterday and I cant but smile about the journey.
Coming to Baltimore was one of the only choices I had other than continuing on a ‘dead end’ path which was only going to end up bringing me back to the same end through a vicious spin cycle, washed up. I’m originally from the Dominican Republic, and at a tender young age my parents migrated to Brooklyn where I had been ever since. It isnt difficult for me to admit that this is one of the best choices I have made in my lifetime- leaving the big city where I was raised then born and re-uniting with my family who came to Baltimore a year before I did.
Brooklyn is really more than a borough, a city, It’s STRONG to me. Maybe like how you might feel about your hometown but more. Being from Bedford Stuyvesant all my life made me the opposite of who I should be today. It’s that deep. A pure product of my environment with a twist. If you ever heard about New York or ever lived in any borough except for Brooklyn you might have to admit that you thought twice before taking the trip. Known of course for its rich culture, music and the arts, It’s also known to be one of the meanest places in New York! Dont take my word for it though, just dont walk through any of the inner city areas alone, especially at night! If you are brave enough bring a camera because you might see some things!
See For the most part im an integral guy but every now and then the Brooklyn in me rears its ugly head out in the open, of course, who’s wouldn’t?! To avoid that I always liked to keep a tight circle. I have a strong intuition and usually my points of views and demeanor don’t fit right with many people, looking as if I should be from the hood, but speaking as if I went to a good school. I love Brooklyn, and it will be a part of me until the day I die, but the best part is that I used what I learned there for the better. So ITS ALLLL GOOOD!
I have 3 years in Baltimore, and my growth is unprecedented. 3 years in Baltimore and I am almost the individual I see myself becoming. In that short amount of time (which is a pretty long time to me) my progress has been more than of those who I met 3
years ago. Its only been 3 years but I seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, I seen success and I seen failure and everything in between. These 3 years have been more than I could ask for but I am thankful and I am blessed. I have spent the last 3 years of my life here and fell in love several times over. 3 is one of my favorite number’s, so the meaning is deeper and this year I have a plan
to leave. Its that feeling you get when you know you have traveled a distance but understand that there’s even more ground to cover.
I’m happy to be here, change is great, I’m glad I visited.
Playing My Part
The internet is a beautiful place to be yourself, to share what inspires you, to read what inspires others, to create, innovate and BE! Well on the internet I have found a way to change my life through the flow of information. I will never be the same. These are some of my vents from Facebook.
“Sometimes really I think id be better off if I was still asleep to what’s going on in the world. Sometimes I think it’ll be better if I was a TV watcher and a Government believer. Or maybe just someone who doesn’t really care about what’s going on and continues to eat the nonsense they feed us through the media. A plain and regular person who just goes with the flow. Then I look around and I realize that not all of us are meant to be part of the status quo. #thestoryneverends truly.”
“I use Facebook as a tool to communicate with my people. Some read, some don’t. Some rather me turn back the hands of time to a point where I was just as ignorant as they still are. The problem with that is- they called me “Switch” before I knew how to. And now I am on a consistantly changing state of mind. Not change as in an opposite route- but change as in growth. Grow up and wake up!”

#OccupyCongress January 17th, 2012
Me and my brothers made little plans and we had minor preparations, all we did know was that we were going. We made it just in time as the march was starting and as soon as we found parking, we quickly joined. The march was filled with great chants, the beating of drums, picket signs, and happy people. Happy people that somehow despite the circumstances were fighting for whats right, in as well of an organized manner that over 3,000 thousand strangers get together and do such a thing. It was a sight for sore eyes and to me it was historical, the best part is that I was there with my brothers to see it and be a part of it. This is my second #occupy protest event and God willing I will show my love and support in many more. Since the towers fell so many things have changed all over the world, and the entire #occupy movement is a product of that. We the people have value, and there are many of us that will fight to keep it that way. 
Most of the photography will be available on TheStoryNevaEnds
Why I Hate Religion- Spoken Word
I relate to this pretty closely. Maybe not as close as others, but I am on my way.
Enjoy.
I Am Blessed
So all the turmoil and chaos won’t cease but flourish like a black flower torn from its soil only to bring up its dried but sharp roots to a point where we see no end to it huh? Isn’t it but a run on sentence how our minds are washed in a machine to only be cleansed of intelligence, knowledge and wisdom? Is it a benevolent beginning with a ending of happiness? Or is that a trick question? There’s no answer but God, as realization kicked the door of uncertainty off its hinges, walked in the room and said “I love you all” still everyone was frightened but only a few believed…
Stand for something or fall for anything a brother of mine once said at his firm stance. Never again will I question my purpose of being other than a being of purpose, and so my answer falls on my lap (3:33am) like wrinkled leaves after what the summer brings, and I am no longer a slave.
No deeper are my words than the reality that dreams are an escape. And so be it with my heart in my hand I will no longer mind things of low importance as if it was written for me to rise. As if it was destined for the likes of me to be nothing but a man with ideas that will change the course of many. I am blessed.
Time To Say Goodbye- Behind The Scenes
Here at HandTalk we are some entrepreneurial minds. This record was written and produced back in November of 2010, after a series of events that caused this record to be born. My verse was added recently after the producer made some minor changes and it was ready for some visuals. The video came in place after some failed attempts at creation due to the same series of events that made the song come to life. Editing and color correction are on their way and soon you will see pure art made from Dominican up and coming director Anthony Almonte.
Here are some quick shots of some of the behind the scenes action for our first major project of the year. “Time To Say Goodbye”
Which can be found @ TheStoryNevaEnds
