Cancer is scary, as are many other diseases. I have a friend who was diagnosed with cancer when she was a kid, and she is living a great, healthy life at 22 years old. She does not let that stop her or control anything that she tries to accomplish. :] Unfortunately, I have also experienced what it’s like to lose someone to cancer. I lost my grandmother (on my Dad’s side) to breast cancer in 1996 – I was just 10. She had her family and friends in her life, staying strong and positive for her… especially when she couldn’t. She was such a fighter though. It’s incredible how a person will fight such a battle ten times harder… because of all the love and support that they have from others.

With that said… I felt the need to share that DJ Vadim (DJ / Producer & 1/3 of One Self) was recently diagnosed with cancer — ocular melanoma / chorodial melanoma. It saddens me. I ask that you channel all your positivity and strong energy in his direction. Although he is already a strong individual, it would mean a great deal for people worldwide to come together and say a prayer for him. Keep him in your thoughts. Light a candle. Share your love mentally / spiritually. Even if you don’t know who he is, it doesn’t take much time to add a person’s name into your prayers. Anything helps. He is in the hospital today and going through a rough operation. The power of collective, positive vibes will help elevate Vadim into great recovery… and then some. So spread your light in his direction to help clear his path.

We are more powerful than you think…

Yarah Bravo (female emcee & 1/3 of One Self) is doing all that she can to push for Vadim during this challenge in his life. While doing so, she’s also encouraging others to bless him too. A proactive boomerang worldwide. I have not talked with Vadim personally, but I have with Yarah. Her views on life, her strive to reach her dreams, and positivity are so inspirational. He is so lucky to have such a beautiful person like her to be there for him 100% – getting people in each country wishing him the best of luck and so forth. I believe that he will come out of this stronger than before, and my heart goes out to him, his family and Yarah to get through this situation.

So I’ve talked about this before, just not here. Around the Fordham area of the Bronx, there’s a really talented graffiti artist who likes to put up bees everywhere. Now I don’t know who the artist is, but I like his work. On many of his really good bees, he leaves a contact number, and I’ve tried calling it to get an interview or something from them, but no one answered. Oh well.

So without any explanation as to who, what, and why; I bring you the Bees.

There are probably a ton more buzzing around the area, and I hope to make a collection of them all. SOOO If anybody happens to know the owner of these bees, lemme know! I wanna get something going. ^^

I love this song. And I love all of the covers. =)

Enjoy:
1. White Stripes: Seven Nation Army (gotta start with them right!?)
2. Audioslave cover ( I love Chris’s voice..mmmmm)
3. Alice Russell (SHE TOTALLY FUCKING ROCKED THIS COVER!)
4. The Flaming Lips (love the bunny suits lol. This version is hard, love it)
5. Afra and the Incredible BeatBox Band feat. Chara (love this version…it’s so…..idunno, Chara’s vocals make me love it. lol)

*I bet you guys thought I died or something right? Nope, I’m still well and kicking. O_<

Alison Sudol is a 22-year-old girl from Southern California, and she is female lead-singer behind A Fine Frenzy. Alison’s got that soft, but rich, soulful voice that is near impossible to not like… and she plays the piano. She’s soft on the eyes and ears. I think she is incredibly gorgeous with that bright red hair (even if it’s not natural), that fits perfectly with her porcelain skin. And the deep dimples that form when she smiles are cute. :] A Fine Frenzy released the debut album, “One Cell In The Sea“, and there are more than a handful of songs that I thoroughly enjoy. And after reading numerous interviews online and seeing videos of her on youtube… I see these adorable, wholesome qualities in her – she’s so pure. I like that.

I first heard “Almost Lover” on an episode of The Hills – season 3, I believe. And I’m glad I was watching that particular episode, or else I wouldn’t have discovered AFF. :] “Almost Lover” is a bittersweet song about a romance that ended before it even formed. And although she still adores this individual in the song, she just wants to be left alone. “Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life? // Goodbye, my almost lover // Goodbye, my hopeless dream // I’m trying not to think about you // Can’t you just let me be?” The song made me think of certain like/love situation(s) I’ve been through, so I kind of have a deep understanding of this song. A lot of people can relate to her songs. I like when I get a feeling of connection with music, or any form of art (pictures, graphics, dance, etc), or people, or anything really. Anyway, on to the video…
