American Thinker (Journal Entry 1.11.12) - Memoirs of a Senseless Genius

This morning, my mind is overflowing with the usual controlled chaos. I tried to watch the news the other day, but the images of the world that we live in, are beyond over viewing--Yet, I'd only be at fault for overlooking what is needed to be known. Life gives us opportunities, as well as the resources to enlighten ourselves and even if you're not sufficiently equipped, the effort will nonetheless, shed light on a few dark spots in your mind. I flip through the channels and see--talk about Hollywood divorces, celebrity baby conspiracies, and all the jazz that plays for the flashing lights. For a minute, I felt like the screen threw a hook at my brain and swiped away a moments worth of logic. Should I be offended by the brain cell ambush? I escape the materializing of human life but lost the remote in the process--Manually turned to those loved wives, whose husbands hang with Spalding and try to stay true to the game of life and fairy tales--or maybe it was those microphone check$--Mic Check 1, 2 (the more I rhyme, that's more check$ for you)--but you can't dip the set or the love for all of it. I doubt they're hearing my thoughts, which makes my brain scream--"Why'd you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?"...hey TV--You're waving around my house with the mind that I love...and I'm like, "FUCK YOU!"--I guess the books in my room, wasn't enough! So, as I vividly paint this picture--you obviously can Cee the grass isn't always cut Lo or as Green as it appears. The madness conceptualized on the television is bliss to a weak mind. Our history is locked in books, with the key deep below the sea of illiteracy--while our future is being defined by a generation of zombies. I run and I run...Hoping they never catch me! My thoughts are converting to HD quality, I appreciate the patience as I take it one channel at a time. Please Stand By...The revolution won't be televised!

Featured Genius: Chill Moody (music)

Featured Genius: Chill Moody (music artist, West Philadelphia)

I chose to feature this video of Chill Moody for many reasons. I have always been a big fan of real Hip-Hop, and a supporter of Philly music artist. However, this isn't just a simple music plug, its more like an acknowledgment of an individual who is determined to master a craft. I've seen Chill's progress as an artist over the years. So many times I hear people talk about the things that they are passionate about, but don't know how to channel it into success. Fortunately, the city of Philadelphia has an inspiring example, through artist like "Chill" showing that hard work and dedication to your craft is never exhausted. If you know anything about Philly's music scene, you know that "The Come-Up Show" with DJ Cosmic Kev is a validating checkpoint for underground artist to show the whole tri-state area exactly what their lyrics and musical movement is made of. What you see in the video above is raw talent, wrapped up in a nice cover by Babylon Cartel. Listening to a rapper that knows exactly how to approach classic beats, is surely refreshing for any Hip-Hop ear. I applaud Chill for his musical genius and staying true to the element of Hip-Hop. Reassuring advocates of good music--that you don't need gimmicks to get ahead. It's still an unpredictable road in front of him, but his momentum is looking promising.

Optic Bliss

(DISCLAIMER: These are just my abstract thoughts that at times can be incorporated with real life situations. Sometimes I say things that are serious and put them in a joke form, so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying)

Money falls in bundles from the sky. Women are arranged by a balance of beauty, a celestial shape, and a racy wardrobe. The luxurious cars are associated solely with horses and wealth. Diamonds bigger than the deposits found in Africa. While any illegal tender affiliation is cast off by civic perception and ignored by the authority.
This is the life and times of an entertainer's facade and the rapture that viewers get absorbed in to.

"Optic Bliss" by Senseless Genius

Hip-Hop video directors target audiences who are susceptible to mirages displayed in your favorite music videos. Ideas and visual impressions that are rooted and also generated by the story lines scripted in popular cinemas such as Scarface, New Jack City, GoodFellas, King Of New York, etc. Portraying the music artist as an untouchable symbol of the "American Dream" who's life is constructed of a plethora extent of women, excessive partying, and money to splurge on any and everything. We as spectators watch this representation of lifestyles of the rich and famous, while we are forced to dwell in the existence of an economic disaster/repression. For the 4 minutes that the video last, we forget about our own hardships and financial constraints, and become consumed into a world of lavish mansions, shopping sprees, and trips to foreign islands. All of the luxuries that the average blue collar individual couldn't fathom even with unlimited overtime. Viewers are subject to a Jam of The Week that displays money as an actual commodity that grows on trees or at least floats in the air (ironically, that no one tries to grab). Coming back down to ground level from a euphoria high, forces the average person to question the fairness in life. Forming rhetorical questions like "How does a person who just puts words together over a beat, get to live like royalty, while I struggle and work harder than hard-work, just to make ends meet?" [PAUSE] - [I just sounded like a rapper myself.. that was kinda hot] [OK, BACK TO MY DAY JOB]
Your modest self reflection eventually transpose into a vicarious display of hate. The questions abruptly turns into aggressive statements. "That guy don't even deserve that money. He don't even know what to do with it. Give me a million dollars, I'll show him how to spend it." Unfortunately, no one is going to just "give" you a million dollars. Furthermore, the people who can easily design a plan of what to do with someone else money, are usually the people who aren't satisfied with the maintenance of their own cash flow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not immune to these insecurities either, however, I use the demonstrations that I see through music television as motivation rather than propaganda to hate. From the houses that are shown on Cribs to the expensive cars that are parked in front of the property, I use it all as promotion for motivation. Staying grounded helps you understand that self-made millionaires were normal people who saw the optic light at the end of the tunnel and kept walking until it shined brighter. Music videos are entertainment. Nothing different than when you see Al Pacino take the final shot to the back before he falls into the fountain. At the end of the day, Pacino got up and walked off the set while 75% of hip-hop artist return the rented cars, jewelry and houses to the appropriate company. It's only natural to see a certain lifestyle and admire the people who operate within it. Be that as it may, you owe it to yourself to take the time to curb the bliss and configure your dreams for life time aspirations that come through hard work rather than an acclaimed illusion presented by a one-hit wonder. Being successful isn't easy, because if it was, everybody would be.

I leave You with my Final Thought of the day…
Following a path through tunnel vision doesn't allow you to see what might be passing by you. Open your eyes and be mindful of the opportunities that may have already knocked. Patience and dedication enables success to be less of a dream and more of your reality. On route to your paper chase, don't forget to keep track of your dream. Once you find it, the chase will end and the money will start shadowing you.

Beautiful Music

Beautiful Music (an abstract symphony) ♫♪♬♫♪
by Senseless Genius

My thoughts come out in ways that I think should be connected to notes on a sheet of music... sitting alone making beats of rhetoric. Tapping those ideas against my skull-- just for it to barely scratch the surface. I love how the sound echoes in my head. I thought I heard it with the drums, but its a sound that travels with the wind. Refined sounds are produced through this beat. An arrangement that would play out in an empty stadium and rock it as if it was soiled in -- under my surface the admission just got sold out. Welcome to my brain-- I call it Madison Square -- or maybe its a squared circle without the ropes...no gates-- its a Garden... let everyone in. Now as I get back to the idea that I wanted to be lyrically defined, I hear this beautiful music coming from the garden. Or was it from the roof... up top, roses in the Mezzanine -- that type of garden. Or just let my thoughts be as bizarre as gladiolus on the court--Knicks that...I gotta get back to my beautiful music. I sit in my chair vibing to the beat...call it a floor seat, cause I never was good at playing musical chairs. I put my feet up and realized I was putting my feet down. Standing strong through stages in the garden...while the bed of bright bulbs remain uncultivated. The garden that I'm sharing... planting our foundation together. Open your mind and let the beat follow you--a fertilized sound even from underground. So, you pick the roses from our garden and the petals are growing thoughts. You'll always have access to the scent of the beautiful music.

Best I Never Had

"And if I ever (ever fall) in love again--- I will be sure that the lady is a friend. And if I ever (ever fall) in love again--- I will be sure that the lady`s just like you."

You know a lot of girls be... Thinking my blogs are about them, This is not to get confused--- This ones for You. After writing about a multitude of issues, I came to the realization that I rarely write from the heart instead of the brain. The primary purpose of having a blog is being able to share your strong views & opinions. Yet, also to confront and give a written identity to the indecisiveness, vulnerabilities, and Achilles heels, that life's path create for you. With that being said, I offer you a free spirited--- "writers choice", in which is a revealing moment that gives confirmation that even the writer can sometimes become the focal point of the pen.
This post is a letter that I'm writing to a female who is my girlfriend in my own mind, but in reality, she exists only as an exclusive thought. Signed, Sealed, & Never Delivered.

"Best I Never Had" by Senseless Genius

Dear You,

I waited up for you last night. I cooked your favorite dish. You know--- that meal that I cooked the first night we spent together. I was kinda disappointed that I had to eat alone. I stared across the table, hoping that you would come through the door and fill the seat at the other end. Unfortunately, my wishful thinking was to no avail. Despite you missing dinner, I was sure that you would arrive in time to relax your body in the hot bath water that I ran for you. I even put rose petals in the water--- just the way you like it. But, as you can imagine, the steam from the water eventually faded, and the rose petals shriveled up. Its alright though--- it's more roses where those petals came from. You would have been so excited when you walked in and realized that I lit the rooms with those scented candles that you like --- every time I smell that scent, I think about you. I remember when I bought the wrong candles that time--- I thought that scent was the only candle that comes in that particular color [Guess I was wrong]. But back to our planned evening-- you won't believe what CD that I found--- yup, that one. Every song on there, reminds me of you. When I listen to it, I feel like the lyrics were written just for us. Oh, and remember earlier in this letter, I mentioned more roses--- well, I made sure I had enough petals that I could make a path from the door to the bedroom. I was so sure that you wouldn't notice them until you got to the bed-- but I still wanted to give you the path of a queen. Since I'm on the subject of queens, I wanted to share with you this interesting quote that i read today --- "A King should always separate himself from all of the other Jacks and stay away from the Clubs. The Queen will appreciate being his Ace, only when he stops thinking that Diamonds are the answer and start giving his Heart." --- I thought that was such a cool way of using wordplay with the deck. I knew you would appreciate that. I think you're the only one who really likes brain teasers more than me. I still can't believe that you didn't show up. I really anticipated a romantic night with you. I even wanted to give you that full body massage so that I could knead out all of the tension produced by your work days. Sometimes I wonder if you think about me when you're at work-- I'm sure that you know that you don't have to ask "when do I think about you?". Because the more suitable question would be "when don't I think about you?". I hope this letter is making you smile while reading it, the way it makes my thoughts smile while writing it.-- Well, I just wanted you to know that I'm not mad that you didn't show up. Actually, I'm starting to get used to not seeing you. That still does not stop me from thinking about you. I know that you appreciate all my efforts, but I would like to occasionally hear from you. Timing might be terrible for the both of us, but I don't wanna get to the point where we barely know each other. Please try to find me in the crowd. I'll be waiting.

P.S. Whether you know it or not, we were made for one another. It just takes time to realize that the puzzle piece that you were looking for, was sitting in front of you the whole time--- just flipped over.

Forever & Never Yours,
Me

---------------------------------------------------------------------------End Of Letter

I leave You with my Final Thought of the day…
This letter was written from my perspective of loving a person in your own mind. Creating anticipation through thoughts of experiences that don't exist. This letter reveals the abstract notion of trying to grab a hold of something that is not there. Searching for mutual love from a sentiment created purely by a desire. Now, in the opening statements of this post, I mentioned confronting vulnerabilities--- if a person can win a battle that isn't fought, maybe a person can love something that has never been pursued. Even if loving a stranger is not possible, it will always be the thought that counts.

Inside The Brain Of A Senseless Genius (vol. I)

"The brain is a stubborn organ. Once its primary set of beliefs has been established, the brain finds it difficult to integrate opposing ideas and beliefs. This has profound consequences for individuals and society and helps to explain why some people cannot abandon destructive beliefs, be they religious, political or psychological."
-Andrew B. Newberg (University Of Pennsylvania Professor)




Inside The Brain Of A Senseless Genius (vol. I) narrated by Senseless Genius

These chronicles that feature untamed thoughts of a senseless genius, is just my unique way of taking a mental vacation. Sometimes my mind tend to process so many keen thoughts, that my only outlet is to occasionally flirt with trivial and miscellaneous conceptions. This narrative is not an interpretation of any misconceptions nor is it a mediation of any focused issues. Rather, its my impulsive reflections of life. Welcome to my brain, I left the light on for you.

This is a vivid trance that projects my thoughts without any equivocation or censorship.
Abstract thoughts epitomizes a concrete reality. Open your mind to what I proclaim a genuine senseless brainstorm. The ideas are not in any structured or parallel order, but instead are pure spontaneity.

I leave You with my Final Thought of the day…
Life is love and understanding. Yet, death is promoted everyday with hate and misunderstandings. In the brain storm above, I just wanted to highlight some of my periodic thoughts and draw attention to some of the advocates and assailants of the good, the bad & the ugly components of the world that we live in. Many people view my thoughts as a product of a beautiful mind. I offer a contribution of my viewpoints as a testimony to my advocacy of a beautiful tomorrow. Life gives an abundance of opportunities to 'pay it forward', I just chose to let my readers keep the change. I leave you with a passage that I feel is appropriate for this narrative.

"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
-Ecclesiastes 9:11

Sexophobia

(DISCLAIMER: These abstract thoughts may have similarities to what you as the reader may have experienced. Some of my writings are first-base reading, but occasionally my adaptable thoughts aim for the fence. Different stages of life help us realize that, at times, growing pains can be an ironic parody. Chronicles are just experiences mixed with a theatrical edge that can be incorporated with real life situations. Sometimes I say things that are serious and put them in a joke form, so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying)

Making the transition from a teen to adulthood is one of the most enlightening periods in your life. It is the stage where you get confirmation that the things that you thought you knew about life, are not as concrete as what your premature intuition lead you to believe. Despite age not being the primary definition of an individual, its the years in life that gives added on experience and consistent opportunities for one to see the world out of a scope that can only be introduced by sheer maturation. So, when an older individual say that youth is wasted on the young, it is not a generalized attack on young people, rather its acknowledging the fact that the genuine appreciation for the simple things in life doesn't come around until its almost too late to fully experience the elements.
A lot Of Readers Think That My Writings Are About Them, This Is Not To Get Confused, This One Is For You.

"Sexophobia" by Senseless Genius
Motivation to write can come from multiple sources. Even during my most modest reflections, I can admit with pride that I live vicariously through my own personal growth. I am motivated by my experiences and inspired by the ability to learn from the people and things around me. However, casual conversations with some individuals leave deep impressions on me. Impressions that are so absorbing that it makes me want to write about it.
Now the context clues surrounding this posting would lead you to assume that this is going to be a narrative about mature sexuality. You would be accurate with that assumption, however, its not as simple as magnifying the basic principles of being comfortable with sex. In a certain degree, most adults are in control of their channels of sexuality. Nonetheless, it takes exposure, encounters, and practical understanding for a person to erase all of the pre-existing perceptions about sex that are instilled in your mind in the early years. For example, a young mindset supports the idea that oral sex is an experience that can only be offered as an exchange. Some would go as far as omitting this sexual act from their routine because of inexperience or disgust. Presenting the concept of oral sex to a less developed mind, might get responses such as "If I eat a girl pussy, she gotta give me some head", or the female version, I don't suck dick, I'm not a hoe like some of these girls". These are ideas that have been forced into the mind by public discernment and close minded individuals. Yet, it takes an integrated understanding of life's pleasures and an open mind for sensuality to understand that these sexual gestures don't always have to be an act of trading off or a bargaining tool, nor does engaging in this level of foreplay make you a "hoe" or "freak". A sexual appetite can be fed (no pun intended) in more ways than the traditional intercourse. Moreover, admitting that you enjoy the sensation or arousal that this extent of eroticism present, is not a degrade of your character or standards. If you ever get the opportunity to converse with a young person who has relations with people that are a lot older, and ask them whats the benefit or upside to being intimate with an older individual, you probably will get consistent responses. Most would give credit to the experience and their ability to treat the different levels of sex as the spices in life, rather than an indiscretion or something that will define how your peers view you. A young woman worries about the judgment of her friends in regards to sexual decisions. In addition, she fears that the things that happen in the bedroom will forever define her reputation. A young man functions off of pure adrenaline which is produced by the need to impress his friends and any person that he meets. Furthermore, his sexual maturation usually develops at a slower rate than the woman, which causes him to have an one track mind. This means that sex for him is an experience where its solely about his satisfaction and any secondary efforts put out by him are followed by unsubtle expectations. The two things that both young minds (male & female) have in common is the 1). fear to enjoy sex as an unrestricted, non-judgmental, selfless form of intimacy and 2). a naive state of mind. This is where maturity becomes a significant factor. Giving the individual the reassurance and security of knowing that sex does not have to be a taboo concept. Intimacy, whether in the form of fore-play or intercourse, can be some of the most pleasurable and satisfying moments in life. Therefore, if done in a safe, healthy, and tasteful (not the flavor, but actual class) manner, sex should leave no levels of remorse. Now I don't want my audience to think that I'm promoting a sex crazed world, but I do think that the dark cloud that hoovers over sex is sometimes undeserving. How often has good sex lifted your morale for an entire work/school day? If you're lucky, the answer would be more often than you can remember. If you're not so lucky, maybe you shouldn't work so hard, or in this case, work a little harder. As for my overall outlook on sexual favors, I think sex should be a full course experience. Intercourse is always going to be the main event, but the events leading up to it can be just as enticing. Also, to my selfish participants out in the world, you have to understand sex is a team sport. A selfless act of giving and not receiving isn't the let down that your friends want you to believe. Look at foreplay as warming up the car. In order for that drive to have the maximum enjoyment, you have to put in the necessary work. Whats beneficial for the receiver will eventually be favorable for the giver. Reaching a sexual peak is a satisfying highlight, but the occurrences along the way are worth their wait. Being "young, dumb, and full of cum" is a label that is given to the youth by older individuals. Replacing the "dumb" notion with "experienced" is not a rhyme-worthy insert, but its definitely a better credential to be associated with. Before this narration becomes a coaching lesson about sex, I want you to know that prior to the teacher picking up the chalk and pointing to the board, he/she had to sit in the seat and learn. Don't let fear and/or friends perception stunt your sexual growth. The satisfaction of your life can be produced by you, but it also can be taken away by others. The things that you decide to do or not to do, might be impressive to your platonic friends, but unfortunately they are not the ones who are getting in bed with you.
I leave You with my Final Thought of the day…
In life, you live and you learn. Hopefully, you do ample amount of learning while you're living. Its nothing wrong with receiving a sexual favor, nor is it wrong to give one. When it comes to sex, fair exchange is no robbery. When implemented with the right person, under the right circumstances, sex can make a conversion from being a guilty pleasure to your erotic bliss. You might be concerned with the views of your peers. But don't fret, the things that you are thinking about doing, most likely they have been doing behind close doors for years. Though, I did not focus on it too much in my narrative, I always want to promote a safe sexual experience. Sex is one of the elements in life where your decisions not only affect you. Wrap it up!
