I’m not a musician but Beyoncé is one of my greatest inspirations. Her meticulous hands-on attitude to her work is well and truly on another echelon. Few artists can match her work-rate (off-head, I would put Kanye West in that same category) and the results definitely show.
I believe that any creative/artist can take inspiration of how she hones her craft behind the scenes in order to own her craft on the stage.
Artistic Skittles.
Our visions don’t work together…
When I was a boy, I wanted this.
Now I am a man, I still want this.
What can be done today.
I haven’t gone running for a few weeks for a number of reasons, mother nature being on her period being one of those major reasons.
Tonight was the first night that there was no rain AND I was home at a reasonable time so I went for a run.
The run I usually go for means going around a certain part of my neighbourhood seven times and equates to around 1.7 miles. For a while, I’ve been wanting to increase so that I’d run 2 miles. As I was running tonight, I thought to myself “I should go for ten” but as I neared my usual seven, I started to tire.
With energy being sapped from me with every extra step I took, I started to contemplate backing out and just ending on my seven. Tried telling myself that I had only just started running again and I should let myself get back in the swing of things and aim to hit that ten by the end of the week.
But then, I also realised that I had been able to run at a consistent speed and a bit faster than usual for those first seven laps. And I also started to think about people who I look up to and the drive they have.
With alll these things in my mind, I kept running. I hit my ten. Not at the end of the week, but tonight.
I’m shattered, but I did. And when I got back home, I found out that it was just under 2.5 miles. Now that’s what I call a result!
Maxwell - This Woman’s Work.
I’ve always loved this song but my reason for posting it now is because I randomly remembered how much the song gassed me during the sex scene in Love & Basketball.
It made the scene so serene and I think the scene wouldn’t have been as powerful without it.
I’ve never had sex with that song on in the background, hmm…
Love Michael McIntyre, and this is so true!
Hate making decisions with a heavy heart especially when I know deep down its not what I want to do.
I guess I’d class this one as beyond my control. Just got to keep remembering I’ll look back and laugh! :)
Fun - ‘We Are Young’ video puzzle
This is incredible! Even more so as I’m a fan of the song.
Ingrid Michaelson - You and I
This song is taken from the soundtrack of one of my favourite films “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend”.
Love the chorus, and the song as a whole.
