This week I did a vision board to describe my idea future. My ideal future consists of a monkey, I know not the first thing on most people mind but as a child I often pondered how cool it would be to own a monkey. Later in my life while living in Warm Springs VA, I had actually gotten the opportunity to build a cage for a family of monkeys and in the process luckily gotten a lot of time to socialize with them. That with the overall awesomeness of a monkey there was no other option but for it to be first. Next would be the baller house with the butler, private chef, home office and walk in closet full of designer suits, this is a must own. Now to get these things I will need income, this is where a chain of "corporate" barbershops comes in to play (opening early next year) that along with whatever profession I choose to pursue should be more than enough to bring the "bread" home to my trophy wife. Now not in a superficial way but the perfect wife in the sense of a loyal female, with brains, that doesn't mind doing work and looks good doing it....(great white buffalo) On my off time I would like to explore the world, rich or poor I see it good to not get trapped in one place but instead explore till I find the place I would truly like to call home. Lastly my biggest dream would be to one day change the world weather something small or large I just want to leave my mark.
Eye See
I see
material things become all that I care
when material things are all that I spare
A wife true beauty a queen of my heart
A son or a daughter with my passion for art
a home of my own a castle my throne
with a closet of polo and Gucci cologne
the fastest of cars with chauffer's to drive em
A studio of musicians with labels to sign em
A business a job and career on the side
no time for sleep when feeling alive
I see
change when I can maybe small or enormous
from aps on your phone to lamas in orbit
from changing the world to changing the lives
of my future children my family myself and my wife's
Mike,
ReplyDeleteGreat vision board. Nice touch, starting it off with a monkey. Didn't see that coming. Nor did I see, "lamas in orbit" coming in your poem. Lines from space.
Great board. You've got a lot of material items on this board, but I think that you did a great job of explaining things in your paragraph below. I think that opening those barber shops would be a great way to bump you into butler status.
Your poem this week is good. It has a strong hip hop flow to it, some strange twists, and then it closes with some good insight/knowledge. I like the construction of it. Be sure to not let the concepts overstep the flow. Keep the flow going and see if you can come up with some stronger lines to fit in - that still align with the concepts that you want to convey.
I'd like to see this poem stretch a little bit longer. It feels a bit short. Try to stretch the next few out. Let them flow. See if a a couple verses come out. You've got the skills, keep writing. Keep it going.
