Sun Kissed Skin - A writing short (circa 2007)

honestly where do we go from here? everything we do is unnoticed except by a select few who know what's going on, everyone else wants to believe that nothing occurs in this small bubble of a town but their ignorance blinds them. Sometimes i wish i could be exposed, that everything that i do is brutally unfolded infront of them and then i could finally show my true feelings. You're just a bad habit to me but yet i dont want to give up on it. Get out of me... you're still somehow with me. Days go by slow now and seem so basic and everything hits me harder than ever before but ive learned to keep it inside of me, which is just fine because in my heart i know we are both not ready for this. No matter how tough i may act im just a dainty girl longing for something to hold on to. Always, i know i keep pushing people back...but please know that this is a defense mechanism that no one can comprehend, and im sure you know what i am talking about...our mean jokes towards eachother are covered in a thin layer of care that none but only us can see.

isnt it ironic how me trying to subconciously hurt you only ends up hurting me? Every song sings my life away and every tear i've ever shed since the beginning was for this situation i am stuck in. All of this is irrelevant and i never say what i mean but somehow it's clear to one who knows me best and they don't even know that they know me the best. So i should say what i mean but you already know

and when i saw you today...i wished i was your skin and you were the sun, because the personification of sun kissed skin seems better than reality. In most cases i want to be the metaphors, similies and other literary vocabulary used and written by writers writting about love in its most purest form. Give me a moment, but i am a sorry story..almost a lost cause to some but even when i had a chance i did not go forth, Even though my motionless body was hovering over your helpless sleeping breath i never did the wrong that i knew i was supposed to do. But i'll admit...I've never seen a morning as beautiful as i did today

What i do wont be in Vain, One day it will all account for something

As for now i displace all my morals and instinct into what i know is not right but at the same time perfect...im just being greedy and selfish.
Can i tell you that i know we are destined to know and have eachothers presence with us for the rest of our lives no matter what the cirsumstance

Your secret needs to finally be let out and you need to let me know, I know that your conscious will prevail and tell me what you feel. Your embrace wont cut it anymore, well maybe for now but one day it wont. The lifesyle you lead is not in tune or up to par to fill my needs. Were you wrong to drag me along? yes but it's ok because i forgive you and without it i would not know what it was meant to feel alive

i know this is not the last time we have this occurance, not for a long time and you cant force yourself to feel something that just isn't right


any question i ask i always need a reply.

you're just overwhelming, im thinking i need to hold someones hand along the way, and not just any hand

Willow Smith: a Former C.U.

Where on earth did Willow Smith come from?
Willow Smith, at just  9 years old went from becoming a creative unknown, to a known.









Born October 31st 2000 from parents Actor and Rapper Will Smith (father) and Singer/ Actress Jada Pinkett Smith (mother) she is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.


Willow Smith Website


The Whip my Hair Video by Willow Smith was directed by Ray Kay who also directed videos for Lady GaGa's poker face and Justin Beiber's Baby music video.  Willow's Whip my Hair song sounds like Rihanna mixed with Lil' Mama.  The video itself is entertaining to watch with incredible dance moves, paint splatters using hair and hair extensions and Willow's stage presence is undeniable

Whip My Hair has only been on the Internet for a Month and it's a Viral Sensation.... Haven't seen it? Take a look!  Since Oct. 18th 2010 when it went viral it already has 7million hits on YouTube and that's just one place you can find the video







Willow says that her style is pink rock mixed with preppy and this is no surprise since Willow's Mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, is a rocker as well with her song Bleed all over me by Wicked Wisdom ho also have other rock songs to jam out to



Music and the arts runs in Willows Family so it's still no surprise with actor/rapper Will Smith as her father who met mother, Jada Pinkett, singer/ actress and now her brother Jaden Smith only one year older than her starring in movies such as the Karate Kid... Fame is in her future

Willow told AP: “I wanted to make a difference now, (and) because I wanted to be big and famous like my mommy and daddy and help people. I would go on tour with them and watch them and I'd be like, 'Oh my gosh, that's what I wanna do’.

She is also not afraid to be herself and wants others to be themselves too noting that she was also surprise at the success of her "Whip my Hair" Video and claims that people are exciting about individuality, which may inspire people to be individuals
Such as Lady GaGa where people praised her for being different, now the youngest of the Individuals has stepped out into the spotlight for being a breath of fresh air, and to think she is only 9 YEARS OLD!

"Willow said she wants her music to help everyone to follow his or her own path, "to be individuals and do what they think is good and just be themselves."


With all the success there are bound to be re makes, spoofs and what not of the Music video and here's one on YouTube of other talented young girls dancing to the song.  Good Stuff, looks like other kids can be just like willow and be fierce




(( check out more videos of little girls dancing to Willow Smith's "Whip my Hair" song HERE ))



Check out Willow on her Facebook, Twitter Page, Live stream and Website

Buzzfeed also posted a funny post HERE claiming it is hard to distinguish Willow Smith from her father Will Smith.  I laugh hard when I saw this


To Willow Smith...
creative, inspiring, and motivated.  At such a young age she went from a creative Unknown to a creative known and for that we congratulate you

~*~*~*~
UPDATE

I am pretty sure Willow Smith didn't write that song "Whip my hair" and that most likely someone wrote it for her, if anyone knows who wrote it please let Creative Unknowns know
Saying that, I see potential in Willow. She is just so young and surprises me with how much she puts into her work.  Keep and eye out for her.  Miley, Bieber and whoever else.... Watch out!

And since her birthday is on Halloween, you might wonder what she is being for Halloween.  well, how creative or uncreative is this: She told 106 and park that she plans on being Herself this Halloween.  That doesn't sound like a bad idea, I hope she Whips her hair back and forth

Soccer Photography

Hey Guys
Long time no post
I actually lost my memory card and uploader recently so I can't post anything new, especially my photography, which is the main reason for this blog


So instead here is a few of my past soccer/ sports photography i took when I first began with my Internship with the Athletics Department at Suny Purchase

( Player 7 - Sebastian Ribero )

these photos are my favorites and I think they capture what I wan't from taking sports photography

( Player 4 - Nick Esposito ) 

I really love to get the perfect shot with these soccer photos, which is actually quite difficult because she only have a second, if that, to take the shot and once the moments gone... it's gone.  Like any kind of photography it's all about capturing the moment but this could be a little bit harder

( Player 15 - David Buckingham )

Also making the soccer players good while I take the photo is always what I am to do, I try (KEY WORD) to make sure they are not making a silly face because then I know they will hate it, even though it might be a great shot... plus who doesn't want to look attractive while making that goal?

( Player 10 - Michael Beckett )

I LOVE taking photographs for the Soccer Teams because I used to play soccer and it's really exciting when I get real close and the ball almost hits me

( Player 7 - Sebastian Ribero )

These games get so intense and so exciting you can't help but get some great shots.  The Purchase College Soccer Team have some great players.

So let me know what you think, what I should change, if my pictures make these players look good.  I definitely want your input.  Sports Photography is new to me so I would love to criticism, I think
:)

Fashion in the Fall

As a self declared creative unknown
I believe that creativity comes through all forms of life
this includes FASHION

Fashion is today's world can't be described until years from now when we look back and say... "What the hell was I thinking?" such as all fashions throughout the years

Im no fashionista (though I wish i was or had the money to be one) I do own a lot of clothes and jewelry and today my creative self actually picked out an outfit that i was inspired to wear due to the Fall cold weather, lack of clean clothing and my obsession with my jean jacket.  In other words I liked what I was wearing today!

I feel like everyone one can and should express themselves through their clothing
no words
no actions
just clothes


Can you take a guess at who I am as a person with todays outfit? describe what kind of characteristics i give off or portray. Let me know thanks!

This is my creativity through the form of clothing, style and my own personal fashion sense

Fashion gives creativity a new platform to be performed on

life is a stage

make the most of it, and make sure you look good doing it

I know most people think that they don't own ANYTHING! I feel the same way and often catch myself saying "I hate my clothes" but i can put a good outfit together here and there, I think thinks others can do the same as well.  Just keep experimenting your clothes and if all else fail, switch unwanted clothes with friends.  Reduce, Re use and Recycle your clothes

The Jean Jacket was from Kohl's (I often wear this jacket. I love it!) and Kohl's has some cute things out. so i would definitely check them out, Im the kinda bargain hunter fashionista, if you could even call me one) If It's under 12 bucks I will most likely want it.  I also hoard my clothes, I have some stuff since 7th grade

Jean Jacket - Kohl's

Long Red Cardigan - American Apparel 

Salt and Pepper Sweater - American Apparel

Leggings - American Apparel

I just saw this but another inspired look with a jean jacket, i think it is similar to my outfit, i'll definitly wear something like this once the weather gets warmer, not gor a while ugh!

(Cool jean jacket outfit with awesome black leggings)

(no make up)

I used to work at American Apparel so I own a decent amount of clothes from there but honestly you can pull this look with just about anything lying around. In my opinion every girl should have a good pair of black leggings. ALWAYS! Also if this blog taught you anything I hope it teaches you that you should own a jean jacket, bargain hunt and be happy with the clothes you have, some people don't even have clothes.  But I'd love to see what others are wearing! show what you got!

                                                                           ( I look like a fatty here haha)

Nay or YAY???, you decide....

would you wear this outfit? post your fall outfits!
