FRAMES TO MY MUSIC VIDEO: COME BACK SPARKIN
WATCH IT HERE:
COME BACK SPARKIN is the title of this song and its music video.
SPARKIN should be spelled SPARKING, but I chose to spell it the way I pronounce it.
This is how I create language.
I grew up in urban environments and slang talk has always been my preferred way of expressing myself.
I always loved the level of creativity that could be applied to a language, and the power slang has in societies.
To COME BACK SPARKIN is to come back from a difficult situation while creating something absolutely beautiful out of it.
It is the act of overcoming an obstacle or obstacles no matter the level of difficulty.
We have the power as SuperHumans to take advantage of every situation.
In this song, I first remind myself, that I am the one who chooses to feel down or up, no one else:
No matter what i go through, it can't get me down
Go ahead, take a shot at me. All you are going to do is fuel the beast. In other words, help me excel to the next level:
I'm a Warrior at heart, kick me down !
See what happens, I COME BACK SPARKIN
Some individuals do a whole lot of talking, but their actions do not match their blah blah blah.
Or they spend most of their time talking, while never truly accomplishing and doing something about what they are talking about:
While you're barkin, I move in action !
Realising that I have no one to talk to and spending my time by myself because no one around me is real enough, or I do not relate to them:
Very lonely, no one to talk to
I gain consciousness of my HumanPower , and I choose to Keep My Head Up as Tupac told us.
Keep My Head Up, as I walk through
Dark tunnels, with no light dude
I then realize who I am: I'm the Light Myself.
This is the path of the Warrior. Check out Warrior of Light by Paolo Coehlo if you don't understand this.
I then invite those that feel the way I do to listen to me because I live it like you, and I am uplifting myself.
So join me, and we can lift ourselves together.
Listen to my music, if you need help
Coz I give you energy
The Power and the Will to overcome your enemy
When I say enemy some may think that I am talking about a person outside of themselves, but I am not:
Which is the ego, your own self
Get deeper into your self. Understand that money is a tool, and not the answer to life:
Money is a distraction
The answer to all is within you:
The True Wealth is the Inner
I am not one of those people who thinks money is evil and who does not want money.
I'm a physical being with 5 physical senses, so I enjoy things money allows me to do.
I want to be clear that this is not an anti-money campaign, it is about understanding its role and purpose in our lives.
I do not claim to have the answers, what I do is invite others to my journey.
I recorded this song 3 years ago, and so, being that I have evolved a lot since, I chose to focus this music video on these lyrics and not the remainder of the song.
They no longer apply to who I am today like they did when I wrote them.
The Art Direction of this music video is a continuation of my project THE REBIRTH in which I created an imaginary world where the unreal becomes real.
The quality of this Music Video is very poor, the camera was old and busted, so this is what it is.
I think it's cool to have the quality this fucked up because it's such a huge contrast to crisp HD imagery.
I love crisp HD quality as well :)
Lyrics:
No matter what i go through, it can't get me down
I'm a Warrior at heart, kick me down !
See what happens, I COME BACK SPARKIN
While you're barkin, I move in action !
I'm on a mission !
Very lonely, no one to talk to
Keep My Head Up, as I walk through
Dark tunnels, with no light dude
Actually, I'm The Light Myself
Listen to my music, if you need help
Coz I give you energy
The Power and the Will to overcome your enemy
Which is the ego, your own self
Money is a distraction
The True Wealth is the Inner

2 June 2013. Abu Shouk: Technician Ibrahim Youssif Adam, staff member of the Groundwater and Wadis Directorate in the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and working for the Integrate Water Resources Management, monitors the level of water in a water pump in Abu Shouk camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), North Darfur.
Abu Shouk is one of the main priorities in North Darfur to implement projects on water due to the difficult terrain to find and keep the water and due to the big number of IDPs (more than 50,000) who use the water for domestic purposes and economical activities (like bricks fabrication).
The average of water consumption in the IDP camps in North Darfur is around ten liters per person a day.
Disputes over scarce water resources have been cited regularly as one of the root causes of the conflict in Darfur.
5 May is the World Environment Day.

Accessibility is a barrier free accessible environment allows for free and safe movement, function and access for all, regardless of age, sex or condition. It is a space or a set of services that can be accessed by all, without obstacles, with dignity and with as much autonomy as possible . A barrier free environment does not just refer to making a building accessible with a ramp; it includes making the whole area including buildings, pathways, transport, services and facilities easily accessible by all people. A barrier free environment does not only involve making changes to the built environment but also involves a change in attitude by community members so they accept all people have the right to move about freely. This means people with disabilities should feel welcomed by all members of the community.

The goal of integration should be to make the environment easy to use by offering the highest possible level of synergy between the elements that constitute the environment.
This is just our imagination of how the humans would battle for an apple from a half plastic tree if they keep feeding the beautiful mother earth with plastic waste!
Please use environmentally friendly bags ;)

Crab shanties line the channel leading to Tangier Island in Accomack County, Va., on March 20, 2017. In summer, watermen use the shanties to monitor blue crabs held in rows of tanks, waiting for the "peelers" to shed and become delicious soft-shell crabs.

The planet is scattered with hazardous or explosive leftovers from a succession of technical breakthroughs – be they military or industrial – just waiting to be washed away by a flood or mudslide or carried off by a hurricane. If disaster strikes these “powder kegs” multiply the danger to people and the environment (posing a particularly acute threat to already scarce water resources).

Pukekohe Kindy provides your child with a fun, safe environment to learn about school, and to prepare for further school. Here are some fun learning activities you can do at home with your preschooler or toddler: - Read together. Reading is one of the best learning activities you can do together. Most preschoolers enjoy being read to, and will begin to choose favorite books or stories. When you finish a book, ask your child to point out one of the characters, or to tell you about the story. Don't be surprised if you end up reading the same book over and over again. Practice animal sounds. This one works in the car, too. Start with easy ones, like cats, dogs, and farm animals, and work your way up to monkeys, donkeys, and snakes. Learn about specific locations or animals. Spend a week or two learning about farms for example read farm related books, visit a local farm, plant something together, or visit the garden center. This type of unit study will be familiar to them when they begin school full time. Build a tower and count how many blocks it is high, or count out cookies at snack time.
Learn shapes and colors from Pukekohe Kindy. Colors can be introduced throughout the course of your normal day. A trip to the grocery store produce aisle can give you lots of colors to choose from something as simple as holding up a tomato and asking your child to identify the color can help cement this knowledge. Practice with pencils and crayons. Your preschooler will love making art with crayons, markers, and pencils, and in addition to expressing his creativity, he will be learning how to hold these writing implements skills he will use in earnest once he begins to learn to write letters and words. - Play with clay. Clay or craft dough is fun to work with, and manipulating the material helps develop hand muscles, which will lead to greater motor control and dexterity. If you are concerned about the mess, play with craft dough at a table outdoors instead of inside.
Preschoolers and toddlers love to move about and dance from Pukekohe Kindy. Put on some music and dance together it is a great workout for both of you, and helps develop important gross motor skills. You can incorporate learning of some type into just about everything you do together. Your preschooler's natural curiosity and interest in learning will make incorporating educational activities into your daily routine a snap. The first day of school is a big moment in a parent's life. Many a mother shed a tear as they watch their youngest head off into the big world, all on their own. Many a child sheds tears too, and that can be a situation difficult to cope with. Children often feel a sudden fear at having to let go and be independent, and they're scared of what they'll have to face at this big unknown called Pukekohe Kindy.

Practically as a lifestyle towards their livelihood, the inhabitants around the Lake Barombi Mbo have as habits to always in the mornings check out their nets planted around the lake waters.
1) This was inspired by Andre de Freitas.
2) I was drawn to his use of double exposures of incorporating a human figure and environment conditions.
3) My goal for my photo was to use the tree branches as veins in my self portrait. I believe this picture came out well. Andre de Freitas's style I believe is depicted in the picture because I was able to present a surreal image of human figures in nature.
Julie Lawson, Director of Trash Free Maryland, and Stiv Wilson, Campaign Director of The Story of Stuff Project, lead a research effort to collect microplastic samples from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland on Sept. 4, 2015. The team used a manta trawl for the study, which sought to find out how much plastic waste is in the Chesapeake Bay, what kinds of plastic it is, and where it is coming from.
