Moments

NEIM — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:10:14 +0000

“She has the beauty of a spring sunrise and the mystique of a tiger peeking through tall blades of grass looking in on its prey.”

-NEIM

There are those moments… the moments where it seems as though time and space has ceased to exist. Those that claim to be able to foresee the future have described it as though they were looking in on a dream. Time and space stands still while everything happens all at once. These visions are usually seen through dreams and/or meditation. Enlightenment is what the Buddhist’s call it: to unite the conscience mind with the soul.

What if our soul is like a timeline; and through meditation or dreams we can see the events that have already come to be and moments that have not yet come to past. I wonder is that when Déjà vu comes into play? When we think that we have already experienced something when we haven’t.

I have heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Can you look in on someone else’s timeline? What if you see the reflection of times that she has felt sorrow or joy… triumph and defeat? What if you stare right into her essence… and as you enter the abyss of her soul you see yours staring right back at you?

Have you ever experienced a moment when you looked into someone’s eyes, which you just met, and there was something that seemed familiar? You look even deeper and then a sudden rush of tranquility hits. You find yourself in a state of soliloquy as you try and figure out the connection. All of a sudden time passes without your knowledge as you engage with this person next to you, oblivious to anything happening around you. You are lost in the moment.

I believe our souls, time and space are all connected somehow. Through our dreams we have visions of our experiences and our future. Our conscience minds are sometimes limited to the realm of the world in which we live and cannot fully comprehend what it all means. Can you imagine or have you experienced what its like to meet the actual entity of your dreams? Would you know? Most people forget there dreams soon after they wake. Sometimes we have those moments though where everything has a familiarity to it.

Love at first sight. Is it a myth? Is it possible? How can you truly love someone that you have never met? Maybe you are drawing feelings from experiences that have not yet happened… through a dream perhaps. Love is an emotion right? It is a feeling. I’m sure you have had dreams where you have experienced intense emotions. Is it fair to say that these emotions that you were having in those dreams were not real because they were dreamt? Have you ever woken up scared, laughing, or crying? I have. Those are real emotions.

So, according to the aforementioned theories love at first sight is possible. It is possible to recognize one’s self in another by looking into the eyes of another discovering that this person’s soul has a path that inexorably leads to yours that makes it seem as though time and space has stood still parallel to your dream or unconscious state of mind. You see a path to unite your conscience mind with her soul. The feeling now that you get from looking into her eyes is euphoric because this woman has become the very definition of enlightenment.

The energy of life goes in a circle in a perfect flow, balanced. Until you find your center, you will never be whole. Your soul’s recognition of its counterpart brings you happiness because that is your center. It is what makes us whole. I’m just saying there are those moments.

I’m a Delegate!

NEIM — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:24:59 +0000

Who would have thought? NEIM a delegate? Not me. A year ago I was probably the main advocate for all things anti-government. I was so disenfranchised with the entire process it made me want to move to another country.

Over the summer though, I caught wind of this guy named Barack Obama. I saw and read a few articles on the man and for some reason I thought to myself, “This guy could be the first black President of the United States.” I didn’t even fully understand why I felt that way. It was something about him.

As time passed and I found out that he was indeed going to run for the Presidency of the United States along with Hillary Clinton I must admit I was skeptical. I remember telling a woman from New Zealand Please Login or Register to read the rest of this content.

Sleepless

NEIM — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 10:15:25 +0000

This Poster/Flyer is one of the many reasons I haven’t been getting any sleep lately. Hell, its 5am while I’m typing this! I have been very fortunate to be getting a steady influx of projects lately. I woke up on Sunday morning around 10am and didn’t get any sleep till around 9:30am Monday morning, but I was awakened with the project above around 10:30am and didn’t get back to sleep (completing various other projects) until approximately 5:30am Tuesday morning! If you were calculating, I was awake for 42½ out of 43½ hours!! Now that’s grinding!

New Projects

NEIM — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:56:04 +0000

I haven’t been blogging lately because I’ve been a little busy with projects. Here is a preview of some of my latest work.

The Tipping Point is a sneaker boutique that I made a website for.

I also designed a cover for a client for her scho

ol project. She needed something for the young girls that she’s working with to become entrepreneurs. She wanted to loosely derive it from the cover of this book called “Got it Goin On” and a previous design that I did.

This is one of the versions that I came up with that we eventually went with. She wanted colorful and feminine.

I also got the chance to do some advertising for Bangkok Chef. This was a slight change from the usual work I do, but I try to stay versatile. I’m

working on their website also that I hope to have up by this week.

Jumper (Review)

NEIM — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:41:22 +0000

I can sum this movie up in 2 words: Short, Sweet. It was entertaining, but for some reason I felt either the studio or the director were afraid to push the limits. This movie could have done so much more. The studio I think wasn’t sure what the box office was going to look like. A movie like this should be let to push the envelope. The concept was cool, alas there was only 90 minutes worth of fun to be had. I have been noticing a disturbing trend going on in Hollywood cutting movies short due to the audience’s short attention spans. Artistic integrity shouldn’t be compromised for profit.

Hayden Christensen seems as though he wants to get to Orlando Bloom status. His performance was good, but he got upstaged by his co-star Jamie Bell. Now this guy is showing some talent. I’m looking forward to seeing some more of his work.

The veteran Sam Jacksonreunites with his fellow Star Wars Jedi and delivers his usual Sam Jackson performance minus the profanity. Sam Jack is the king of wigs as he relentlessly chases Hayden throughout the world. When does he find time to edge that white-hair doo up? Diane Lane, whom I will forever adore for her performance in “Unfaithful“, gives pretty much a cameo appearance setting up a potential sequel.

All in all the movie was a fun ride that could have used a little more story. We will probably get more in the sequel.

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (Review)

NEIM — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:11:21 +0000

Somewhere along the line someone in Hollywood sold this script by saying that all you need to make a successful comedy is a collection of funny comics. They were wrong.

Roscoe Jenkins isn’t bad, but a movie starring Martin Lawrence, Cedric the Entertainer, Omar Epps, Michael Clarke Duncan, James Earl Jones & even the likes of Monique should have been a little better. When I saw “Super Bad” last year I couldn’t hear some scenes because I was laughing so hard. I was amused, but I felt somewhat let down. The writing could have been a bit better.

Don’t get me wrong… it was funny, but that cast is supposed to deliver gold!

Better than the Trailer: No

Will Obama Be the New Face of America?

NEIM — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:03:21 +0000

Barack Obama. Barack… Obama. Is Obama the new face of America? Has America been so blinded that we do not see what we have become? I myself have been so ashamed of saying that I am an American that I usually just say I am a man. I have , or should I say had, aspirations of leaving this country in search of a place that I can one day have a family that is proud of where they come from.

My peers would say, “You can’t find a place as good as America. You’re gonna want to come home.” In the immortal words of my man Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Sen. Clay Davis of “The Wire”) “Shiiiiid.” There are plenty of places in this world that I can escape the threat of war or a “terrorists” reaction to an oppressive government. I can most assuredly find affordable… oh wait, FREE health care abroad that is just as good if not better than the one I could possibly go bankrupt here for paying outrages fees and deductibles. I know you’re not going to tell me that my dollar is worth more than a number of currencies across the globe. Would it be so bad to live in a society that stresses family and common wealth instead of the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. That was until I started listening. Listening to Barack.

Change. Sure, all of the candidates are saying it. Hillary Clinton says the same thing, but do we really believe her? Just being a woman isn’t a significant enough change. She comes off more to me as someone that just has personal aspirations of being the most powerful woman on earth. Sure she can lean on the Universal Health Care issue, but lets look at it more in detail. How will she achieve this universal health care? It will be mandatory by law. Kinda like car insurance. Sounds good you say? Look a little deeper.

Massachusetts has already tried this approach. The problem with this is that many citizens just can’t afford it. I don’t mean the poor people who can take advantage of medicaid and subsidies. I’m talking about those who make just enough where they are excluded from such subsidies and have to pay this insurance every month involuntarily. What happens to those who cannot afford it? They get fined! 1st offense is just a couple of hundred dollars. The next one is upwards of over $1,000! This is crazy! Will this effect people’s credit? Will the government garnish wages?! The main benefactor of this will be the insurance companies and not the people!

Obama on the other hand offers a way of making health-care affordable and available to all. Obama understands that health-care is just not in the budget for some families because of the cost. People shouldn’t have to be forced to cough up money they don’t have. This too does not completely solve them problem of health-care in this country, but it at least gives you an option. It still amazes me that we live in a country where its government can spend billions of dollars a year to wage a war in the Middle East over oil but it cannot afford to take care of its own citizens! Health Care should be free! Plain and simple. Doctors, insurance companies and drug manufacturers should all just make a little less money to benefit the whole. Like I said before, we live in a country that values money over anything else.

Obama inspires Americans though. He wants to change that line of thinking. He understands that America was great because of her ideas not its wars. Obama, spending 4 years studying abroad, understands that to make America great again is to renew those ideas of freedom and equality. He understood that when he opposed the war in Iraq vehemently before it all began. Do you ever stop to ask yourself, “Why in the hell are we over there period?” If you come to any other conclusion than OIL then you are sadly disillusioned. If it is hard for you to understand why “terrorists” hate us and plan to attack us then let me help you out.

Imagine that America was extremely rich in oil. Lets say that there is an abundance out in Texas and Arizona. Would we allow foreign countries to come in and say that our ways of government are unjust and we need to change or else. Then allow them to come and occupy Texas and Arizona under the false assertion that we had WMD’s (We have over 9,000 nuclear warheads) intended to do them harm. There would be know F’n way we allow that! We wouldn’t stand for them to be in the waters near our country nor in our neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico. So I ask you, what gives us the right to do what we do? We are so wrong its shameful.

We occupy foreign countries under the guise of spreading democracy as if we were in a medieval crusade to spread Christianity. All we did was cause chaos in an already chaotic region of the world for control over… OIL. Get this… Americans control it and we the people suffer for it. Exxon, Shell, Mobile and all of the other oil and gas companies have had their best years ever! They are making more money than any other company in the world and we are paying record high prices at the pump! So let me get this straight… thousands of Americans are dying and getting wounded (physically and mentally) every day for a few companies vested interests in crude oil that strains our countries economy by making everything cost more because of the cost of a barrel of black gold?!

That’s why I listen to Obama. He was adamantly against the war because he somehow had the foresight to see the bad direction we would go in as a result. He’s not thinking of personal gain, but his actions are reflecting his concern for his American people. Obama isn’t running for office because he wants personal gain. He is running because he loves and still believes in the idea of America that seems to be fading away. Obama seems to have gotten my attention and inspires me to believe again that one day I can be proud to be an American. He talks of using diplomacy instead of brute force to try and live in peace with the rest of the world instead of crushing it. Obama understands the steps we must take to free ourselves from the tierney of oil and in turn help reduce greenhouse gasses.

Obama has encouraged me to stick around and get involved in this process of healing this country. I can’t say that for the rest of the candidates. Hell, me writing an article about it in my blog is proof enough of inspiration. Maybe Obama’s message of hope and prosperity through means of action can reflect a renewed idea of America the Beautiful. I certainly hope so. I don’t want to be governed by the same fear tactics and greed that this government imposes upon its people. I want the true idea of freedom.

New Dedication

NEIM — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:27:58 +0000

The Chinese New Year was yesterday and for some reason I felt a renewed sense of vitality. That was before I knew it was the New Year. January was an extremely trying month for me and I have to admit it has affected me. I haven’t been bloggin, I lost a client for the 1st time, and I haven’t shaved in nearly 2 months!! Not to mention my car got booted and towed (what a mess!). If you have unpaid parking tickets… don’t park downtown! I haven’t even been social. I have sort of disappeared.

Well I think everyone is entitled to a bad month from time to time. C’est la vie. That withstanding I have decided to dedicate myself this entire year for taking the next step in all the phases of my life. By doing so, I hope to inspire those around me to reach for greater things. I’m going to get my writing projects done. Finish my website. Improve upon my business model and solidify a steady client base.

I’m dedicated to this purpose. Let this be written evidence of the commitment NEIM is taking to become great at what NEIM does.
