What Do T-Pain, Jamie Foxx and Lil Wayne all have in common?

Malachy McCourt: “Everything in life should end in song”

710px-malachy_mccourt_3_by_david_shankbone 
Brief recap of an hour or so with M. McCourt….

*There is no future; fear is firmly routed in the future…The past deals with shame; A sign of maturity is when we realize that we cannot change the past..In other words, take the moment; just go for it; live now.

*We need to nurture our own humanity and have compassion for ourselves

*Success requires you to tap into a reservoir of language.

*Invest in words; Invest in language; Invest in “finding out how to find out” (education).

*The problem with society today is our definition of what “being successful” is.

*Live everyday like it’s your last; and one day you’ll be right!

*Children are not our future, they are our present.

*You have a book inside ya somewhere…

*My business is writing and theirs is to edit…DONT EDIT YOURSELF.

*We’re all essentially the same; the thing that screws us up is the people who tell us if we don’t do something “X” will happen (or won’t happen).

*Constraints on language allow us the opportunity to use it in a poetic way..

*We have 1 duty on this earth; to be happy; to be free; to live peacefully.

*We’ve passed the exams because we were already born.

Amazing.

“Everything in life should end in song…”

I.V. Blue

I was born in 1986, the year of the rat. [EDIT:Thanks to Abraheme for correcting me...It's actually the year of the TIGER. DOESNT CHANGE THE FACT THAT I'm a PACK RAT!]

For most of my life I have lived the life of a packrat or hoarder; a personality trait inherited from my mother <3. Since I can remember, she has lived through giant tupperware boxes, too afraid to get rid of her “chunchas” (little knickknacks).

My memory as of late has not been up to par, which in turn has sparked an obsession with saving everything (justifying my hoarding hobby); but all of that is going to change in ‘09.

I am proud to say that I have successfully thrown out 10 bags worth of useless papers, toys, nonsense, garbage, etc…

my room is looking immaculate.

LESS IS MORE.

Some cuts that made this cleanup possible:
Bonobo – Ketto
Yesterday’s New Quintet – Wanda Vidal
