Rocket: A Poem By Dominique

To know me, to know me
I can tell you, I don't make it easy
To be honest, I'm still learning myself
There are parts of me that I turned off, hidden for years now
If I didn't, I don't think I could function as a "normal" person in this society

I was born an Artist, something that I hide
Here to "starve" that's what they say, Give your heart and soul for little to no pay
I've got book smarts too....

but no matter what I do my he[art] always goes back to Art

Tragedy

There are moments when I'm immersed in my craft and I've never felt so alive
I MEAN, MY GOD I'VE NEVER FELT SO A-L-I-V-E!
Never have I felt so close to God than through ancient movements
I almost feel like I can fly
Every time it is spiritual...

So, maybe if you want to get to know me, you should start by dancing with me
Experience how my eyes light up with Hope
How my hips sway with the same enthusiasm as my Ancestors did when they heard the drums
And feel my heartbeat jump from excitement with the possibility that maybe---
I can fly.

Inspiration...

D'ANGELO

'Africa (Acoustic)'

I actually get teary-eyed listening to this version...lol (seriously)

Word on the streets is....or should I say *Tweet* streets(lol) Is that D'Angelo has been working on a new album and it's almost finished! Also heard he is scheduled for a two performances in Amsterdam in January 2012!!! *Yay!*

We shall see.... 

TV....

"The Africa Channel is a showcase for the African continent's most outstanding English language television series, specials, documentaries feature films, music, event specials, biographies, soap operas, current business analysis, cultural and historical programs..shows that reflect the people of Africa, their incredible stories, their daily lives, their music and art, their successes, celebrations and challenges. "

While randomly flipping through channels, I discovered The Africa Channel last year and I absolutely love it! It's pretty freakin' awesome, too bad not many people know about it(which is why I'm posting this).  NO ONE I know watches this channel. *sad face*

I think everyone should check it out, but especially Black people (for obvious reasons).

Here's their website for more info: http://www.theafricachannel.com/index.php
