Honestly, I keep my plans out of the limelight. Matter of fact, I decided to go off resolutions this year and instead focus on a few things.

1) 2012 NYC Marathon
2) Travel more.
3) Increase business (I scaled back a lot this year, which was a big mistake.)
4) Blog more on all channels.
5) Create more.
4) And a little comic that will be re-launching Feb 4…

That’s all for now…

Abraham-Hicks™: Esther said to us, “Abraham, how come you guys (meaning nonphysical entities) can’t get your stories straight? This one says this. That one says that. If we have been talking to God, why doesn’t God say the same thing to everyone? Why isn’t everybody getting the same message?” And we said, “Everybody isn’t asking the same question. Everybody is not at the same point of understanding. Everybody is not even wanting the same thing.” We are all about eternalness which means we are about difference. It is in our difference that desires of all kinds come forth, and as all of these new desires pop up, every one of them—even in their difference—is important.

How skillful are you?

1) Jay-Z - 50 Plays
2) Mos Def - 46 Plays
3) A Tribe Called Quest - 35 Plays
4) Dezaray Dawn - 30 Plays
5) Shane Eli - 29 Plays
6) The Heavy - 26 Plays
7) Nneka - 25 Plays
8 ) Kanye West - 23 Plays
9) Q-Tip - 21 Plays
10) OutKast and Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley (Tied) - 18 Plays

List is not really an accurate representation as not everything I listened was scribbled. For Example, the Jay-Z/Kanye West album was credited to Jay-Z. Some things I choose not to scribble not because I don’t want to, but to bad titles and I didn’t want to go threw the trouble of fixing them. Same reason why the count on this list is so low. Also, I stopped syncing my iPod because Last.FM can’t seem to pick up the plays.

Kanye West would have gotten more plays if his songs weren’t so damn long.

Dezaray Dawn and Shane Eli are my two favorite indie artists. 2012 will be seeing more indie artists on the charts. They were also the only artist on the chart that released NEW material that I enjoyed. The Heavy is a new band I discovered, but their album was released in 2009. All the other artists are pretty much stuff I already got. Strange, huh?

One day, during my high school years, I was in an internship. Even thought I have a higher standing knowledge of computers back then, it was purely out of passion, not out of skill. My internship was turning my passionate into a concrete skill. However, during my years there, it’s not the computer skills that I learn that would be the highlights, but the life lessons I picked up.

I was talking with the webmaster there… a man by the name of Steve. He literally made the office his home. He would take naps during the days and I would watch as he tinkers with computers and coding. When he taught me things, he would break things down as simple as he could. However, even his simplest of explanations would be lost to me. After three days of trying, he finally asked “do you understand what I’m trying to teach you?” I replied, “I do, but I only understand half.” He then told me, “well, it’s better to understand half of it now. You’ll always get the other part later.” He didn’t realized that he would have taught me a valuable lesson with that one statement. I go through life understanding only a part of the the issues, a part of the lessons. As I get older, the other halves start to come in and fall in place.

The trend continues as I started exploring other subjects beyond computers. I only understand part of the lesson. I kept thinking to myself, “one day, someone is going to fill in the rest of the details. I’ll just have to be patience.”

Like for example: I wanted to study music creation. However, I always seem to look at music creation as a math problem that requires years of studying. Then my friend Tabou came along and explain to me and demonstrations how. He explained it using Photoshop as an example. Suddenly, I had an aha moment. By teaching me using something that I know, I was able to fully learn how to start production.

In the past, I read books about metaphysics. I started to get confused. There was a lot of connections, but I don’t see the dots. I half understood the materials. Then someone came alone… and filled in the rest. Now, I’m learning all the possibilities.

I’m so thankful for for the path I’ve taken in life and all the battles I fought to understand myself. I would have never gotten the lesson that it’s okay to half-understand something, because eventually, you’ll get it… if you’re passionate enough to follow through.
