The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities.

ADVERTISE ON THE CORNER 10 BLOG

This video is of an artist named Ladessa Sullivan, who is one of my Myspace friends, creating a painting titled, "When a Man Cries".

I am a fan of Ladessa's work and want to share it with as many people as I can. This video will be the first of many more videos of Ladessa's work that I will post here.

If you visit the video page on the youtube.com, you can read more detailed information about the painting and subscribe to her so you can receive updates on her upcoming videos.

Enjoy!

Everytime I hear "Changes" by Common, I feel really good. It's the perfect song for me to get my week started with.

As you listen to Common's words, I hope you focus on your goals and see that even though hard times and struggles attack our lives, changes do occur and changes for the good can be in the future as long as you stay focused and dedicated to self improvement. Changes will come eventually...

Enjoy the song!

Professional NFL player, Joey Porter, came back to our hometown of Bakersfield where he reunited with a good friend of my family, Mrs. Green, who was one of his teachers during his elementary years.

It's great when someone, especially from your hometown, does good and remembers the people who made a mark on their life at an early age.

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day!

Here's some St. Patrick's Day Cheer. Enjoy!

Last week I was suffering with insomnia pretty bad. Insomnia is nothing new for me, but this time was extremely bad. I don't know if it is because of the crumbling economy and my fears of it drastically affecting my business, the new girl I am involved with and the anxiety that usually accompanies new developing relationships, or a combination of both. All I do know is that insomnia was killing me last week and brought my mood down about  8.5 levels.

In my daily stroll through the world wide web, I came across this poem that really related to what I was thinking and how I felt last week while tossing and turning in my bed at 3am and beyond. It is titled, "The Person I Long To Be" by Victoria A. Mogyorosi.

Enjoy.

The Person I Long To Be
© By Victoria A. Mogyorosi


The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.

But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary

My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking

But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.

Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide

Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over

And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary

And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.

Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.

I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.

"Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings."
