Darkhorse.

Received a call from V-man about coming along 

for a quick trip up 2 the local guitar spot. 

As a lover of music & slapping the bass since 

13, I was totally down for the experience.

You can't deny a man his toys...

(Nope!)

Don't even try!;)

V-man seemed 2 have caught 
the music bug & was actually 
looking for something 2 start with.

I on the other hand headed over 2 the 
bass racks for some play time.

This is what you call Toys R Us for grown folk...

straight up!...

Everyone has that hidden desire 

2 be a Darkhorse of some sorts 

& we're no exception.

Can't blame us for being dreamers man.

That's just how we roll.

yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Eyes.

It's best 2 remain truthful & honest despite the consequence 

for the outcome usually comes integrity along with respect.

 It could be a pretty tough pill 2 swallow but do believe.....you're much better off.

No one has time tryin' 2 cover up a lie with 

another lie then another...then another....
(you get the point.)

Question becomes: How could you detect the truth from untruth?
Lets just say you'll know it cause it all starts with the "EYES".

......Yep! 

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Son.

There's an inner connection unlike an other. 

No matter the situation nor circumstance, it's unbreakable & undeniable.

It's what separates all the others & preserves itself with the obvious bond.  

That's what makes it so sweet. 

A surreal purpose that drives you 2 be even more. 

There's no relationship more precious than the one you have with "SON". 

That stays & always will....

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Inside.

Life is like a crack in the mirror 
where sometimes it seems 
never 2 get any better.

Lookin' @ your own reflection daily, it's realized...same old face...& for some reason or another you're dissatisfied. 

Tell me...What are you running from?

You can run & hide where you can't be found
but @ the end of the day, its still 

just you on the inside.

Pretendin' is exactly what you're doin' & know it's nothing short of a lie.

Still once again, it's just you on the inside...

You cant outrun you so why even try?

Accept true self & allow life 2 take 
you where intended.

You'll be surprised @ the outcome....Yep!

Peace!....with 2 fingers;)

Rogers.

This is the signature of a place where creativity took root. 

Without the wonderful gift of an artist, 

beauty of expression will never have it’s place.

Rogers Park 

is where it began.

There's so much that can sum up the experience 
but find it much better 2 simply live it.….

Dayum I miss that place.

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Love.

Finally I've grown 2 realize the importance of cultivating a healthy & lasting relationship. 

In prior post, I've made known of the need for commitment, effort & of course responsibility 

(in no specific order).

Safe 2 say that there's no such thing as having all the answers but majority rules.....for the more I know the better.

Simply put, it gets easier in time.

Ok, ok....not meaning 2 appear sappy or anything...just making myself a personal reminder note that everyone just so happens 2 read from time 2 time.

That's fine though. No shame... 

just getting better. 

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

**Learn how 2 climb out of debt & make real money by simply assisting businesses with 

Facebook & Twitter....

Believe.

As a Chicago native, I've experienced the essence of Fall year after year. 

Trees are trees, leaves turns color

 & seasons change... 

Seems fairly simple.

right?

Honestly, must admit the many perks 

of East coast Maine. 

Believe. from The Weddington Adventures. on Vimeo.

The falling of colorful leaves are amazing & presents an outstanding platform 

for some good ole' artistry.

Though not a single similarity between 

hometown Chi-town & Happy Maine, 

both appear 2 serve it's 

own particular purpose 

while God's plan continues 2 unfold. 

How am I adapting you ask?  
Well, like they say...
"No matter where you go, there you are."

What an interesting concept 

yet so true. 

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

10% Make + 90% Take.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Island.

I find it pretty amazing how life can take you places when you challenge risk & open up 2 

greater possibilities. 

No matter how crazy it may appear, there's always something 2 take from every single situation whether good or not so. 

Anywho...

Off again on another one of those Weddington Adventures where we headed 
through the islands off the 

eastern shores of Maine. 
(...with the trusty Canon in hand of course...duh!)

The scene was totally surreal with an unique culture all its own.

For one, never knew people could take seafood so seriously.

(if you've ever wondered where crab / lobster country was, this is certainly the place.)

Quaint towns, plenty of seafood, colonial homes

& a loads of water...

 (I've never seen so much water in my life!....)

by the way, it was !@#$%^&* cooold!

Surely the scenery would've been so much more nostalgic well into the summer months 
but for the very first run through, 
it was pretty sweet.

Oh, did I mention that it was !@#$%^&* cold?...lol


Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Superman.

The ups & downs that are presented in no particular order makes life...ummm...let's say, interesting. 

It's like Life 101 all over again and again and again.... 

(you get the point.)

You have 2 wonder; "Dayum am I the only mere soul 

going through this horrible series of the uneventful?"

Nope. 

Not a good thing but it gives the 

comforting notion that you're not by yourself.

& honestly, no one wants 2 go through stuff alone...right? 

(*clear throat)

Similar case, similar scenario. 

Wow!

Who would've ever thought?

 Live, Learn & remember 2 know the difference. 

Now it's time 2 slap on the body armor & take it like a man.

Not just any man....

"SUPERMAN".

Peace!....with 2 fingers;)

Promo#5 - Yes!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Summer Tymes.

Today is my younger brother's 39th birthday....
(hmmm...I believe so.)

It's tough 2 fathom it being so long since refusing 2 have him tag along cause it
was a headache. 

Now with a family of his own & totally independent, I've nothing more 2 say 

but dayum I'm so proud to have such a great guy as a brother.... & not just because it's his birthday.

Anyways...

We decided 2 make a run across the city for a little birthday celebration including
bonfire action & barbeque 

(of course)...

...something we've been known 2 do nearly every "SUMMER".

Great times.

Yep!....

Peace!....with 2 fingers;)

CupCakes.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Never.

Who?

We decided 2 take a quick trip back down memory lane @ a time 
when things were new. 

So many things have been revealed since the 
swift understanding  that there's much more 
than meets the eye.

Noticing that everyone has a story 2 share 
& none other is better than the next. 

The details & outcome is what 
makes it all so cool. 

Similar 2 a set of fingerprints where 
no 2 is alike.

So go on ahead, make your mark 

& be more...

"WHO"?
.....(smirk!)...
you.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Gun.

Decided 2 make a quick tattoo run @ the infamous tattoo factory for a little bit of ink.

Making a statement & marking an experience 

is what it's all about. 

What a better way 2 make a stamp 
& send a message..with a "GUN".

BAM!!!!!



Oh Yeah! ;)

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Cry 2 Smile.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Better.

Update:
It's been nearly 3 months already & countin' since making another impulsive move from backwoods of Georgia back to Maine. 

Lookin' back, the Georgia experience has been 
a mighty interesting one. 

Thank goodness for the trusty Canon. 
(Whew! what would I do without ya!)

Had the great liberty 2 meet some truly good hearted people & for that, 
we're thankful. 
Really:)

There isn't just one episode that hasn't taught us a plenty about where we stand in the midst of all things...

It surely comes 2 show how life can continuously throw  variations of punches your way...

& if you're not on it, BAM! 

It's been quite the adventure while we steadily learned more & more about ourselves as individuals....

& as a couple.

All of this can do absolutely nothing less than make us "BETTER".

Oh yeah!...

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

An Invisible Crown.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

All.

Since moving 2 the state of Georgia, things have slowed down a great deal which has given me the much needed time 2 regroup 

& gather

thoughts...ideas...perspective.

Life is so very constant & can be a bit overwhelming @ times leaving little time 2 embrace the awesomeness.

In this case, it's the wonderful experience & memories with the nucleus of family.

It's like reading a book...

If you're 2 busy tryin' 2 get through it, you tend 2 lose the most important point.

That's why it's so important 2 gather thoughts & recollect the beauty of it "ALL".

It's as simple as a trip 2 the local mall for a shoppin' spree....re: son Khalid's 11th birthday.

Once again, with photography & some cool video, memories become so much more.

Something that'll never go away.

So why go for just a lil' bit when you can actually have it "ALL"?

Yep!....

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)
