"Diana Ross is a big inspiration to all of us. We all grew up watching everything about her - her mike placement, her grace, her style and her class."-Beyonce Knowles

"I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show."-Beyonce Knowles
  

"I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I've never even been to the 'hood. Not that there's anything wrong with the 'hood."-Beyonce Knowles

"Well, you know, I grew up going to church, but I was raised by my uncle who passed away with AIDS a couple of years ago. He was my mother's best friend. And my mother's cousin. He brought me to school every day. He helped me buy my prom dress. He made my clothes with my mother. He was like my nanny. He was my favorite person in the world. And you know, I never really mixed Christianity with how I felt about him. I am about faith and spirituality more so than religion. Doing right by others and not judging."-Beyonce Knowles

"I wrote ["Bootylicious"] because, at the time, I'd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn't be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun and the song was just telling everyone just forget what people are saying, you're bootylicious. That's all. It's a celebration of curves and a celebration of women's bodies."-Beyonce Knowles

"Every moment is not perfect. But it's definitely more good times than bad. You can't even compare. And when I'm on stage it feels incredible. There are certain nights that you know you hit that crazy note and you know that spin spinned extra fast. And you look out and people are just into it and you've worked so hard and now it's paying off and you can see why you dedicated your life to this."-Beyonce Knowles

"When Destiny's Child won the achievement award at the World Music Awards, they played back everything that we'd accomplished. When you're sitting and you see everything in front of you on the screen, it's like you're watching someone else because you forget about all those moments. One day, when my time has gone by, I will watch and really appreciate it all, but I know I'll see it like it's not really me."-Beyonce Knowles

“Insight is not a lightbulb that goes off inside our heads. It is a flickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.” ― Malcolm Gladwell

Good writing does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuede. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone elses head. ” ― Malcolm Gladwell


“..... it would be interesting to find out what goes on in that moment when someone looks at you and draws all sorts of conclusions.” ― Malcolm Gladwell


“The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.” ― Malcolm Gladwell


“Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.” ― Malcolm Gladwell,

"What you don't need is just as important as what you do need."-Romare Bearden

"Artists have this desire for a vision of the world... There's some painting someplace that's not in a museum and it's your idea as a painter to put that one thing that is missing there."-Romare Bearden

Post 90-Rest in love Dianna

Today is a very sad day for me.A little over a year before I was born a very special person died.That person was the one person that had the most compassion out of any other royal English family member.Diana,Princess of Wales.She was perfect love and perfect loves kills all fears. She was such a kind and loving person and we at the time couldn't have anybody better to be Princess of England.But before she became princess she was just Diana Spencer,a daughter and a sister to a large wealthy family.Her parents separated when she was 7 and for most of her life she lived with her father,Lord Althorp. She was very good in music and sports and longed to be a ballerina in the Royal ballet.She didn't do very well in academics but was amazing at volunteering and music.Her older sister Sarah dated the Prince of wales,prince Charles for a long time but they never married.Diana and Prince Charles first became interested when she was a guest at a Country Weekend,where she watched him play Polo in 1980.He asked to a lot of other parties and dates and on February 6th,1981 he proposed to her.She said yes and they were married on July 29th,1981.She had first child,William,on June 21,1982 and her second Child,Henry/Harry, on September 15,1984.Diana was not only known for being a princess but also known for her role as a mother.Unlike most royal families who have everyone raise there kids for them instead she raised her kids on her own.She dismissed the Royal family Nanny and choose one of her own.She often took them to school her self and selected their schools and clothes.She was an amazing mother and I love her for that.All she ever did and wanted to do was make her country and the world a better place.She has helped at least 500,000 people with her charities and volunteer work.She not only mothered her children but mothered and loved the world.She and Prince Charles had a hard relationship and in 1996 they got divorced.A year later just a couple days from the one year anniversary of their divorce Diana was killed in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris.The courts have officially ruled it to be an accident although I and a lot of people think it was an arranged killing.We will never know and all we can do is remember her presence,look at the past,and love her. I'm sad I never got to meet Diana and I will never have the privilege of saying I remember her.But I'll always have the option of loving her and learning about her.I love you Diana! May you rest in love as many people did when you died. 

      

    We will always remember Princess Diana!

Post 89-International Day of the Disappeared

A corner of a wall in the museum of The Disappeared.people that have disappeared.

In this world there are some cruel things and some horrible leaders in a lot of countries.I remember reading 1984 by George Orwell and thinking what if the government really does do that? What if the government watches your every move and if you question there actions you disappear or imprisoned? So I looked into it and found out that the people of many countries all over the world know or think its going on in their country.I also found an organization that helps the families of those who have lost a relative and have never found them.This day is to remember the people that have been imprisoned or have disappeared.But this day was made more importantly to bring awareness to the public.Lots of us Americans don't have a clue what's going on in other countries.We don't know what goes on in Europe,Africa,Costa Rica or Russia.We are to into our news(the news that the government wants us to see) and our own priorities to realize what's going on in our own backyards.I just can't put into words how sad it is how many people have disappeared or died from the worlds governments.Till this day the fate of tens of thousands of innocent Baluch youth and elders remains unknown.And Everyday their families keep looking for their loved ones.I honor those who have ever stood up to their government knowing what would be the punishment.I pray everyday for those families and there loved ones that have disappeared.I thank every single person who has also brought awareness to this situation.Remember every day to always watch every move you make and every word you say because you never know maybe Big Brother is watching YOU.
