Update

UPDATES. "Belief in the absence of illusions is itself an illusion."- Barbara Harrison. Oh, it feels so good to be back in the Big Apple? Well, not exactly. I arrived to New York last Sunday morning, drained and exhausted from the intense packing. I spent my first day arranging my campus dorm back in order so that I may be comfortable for the next few months. Once, I was able to feel free of housing duties. My good friends Rebecca, Sharon, and Jennifer came by my room to reunite. Let's just say, the room was filled with love, laughs, and light conversations. I could not believe how different each of them looked, as though, life back at home changed their maturity level and outlook on life. Seemingly, allowing them to be more thankful for what God has given them so far in their lives; being able to enjoy life as young adult with no worries. (Reflecting) When I returned home, I came back even lost and more confused then I did when I first entered the college world. This made have to take time out and regain my thoughts and visions for my future. The process was difficult but I ask my God to help me through confusion. By the grace of God, He did. (Reality) I had a sudden spark that made me come up with a better game plan. I thought to myself things must change because I am not getting any younger and life is only throwing more stones. So, I knew I must find a way to make a name, a legacy, and a platform for others to follow. Now, you're probably wondering what is my game plan? Honestly, I can never tell you. You will just have to watch me grow, and closely observe my journey to find the meaning of life through God's manual; in addition, to my own discoveries and prevalence. 


Over time, I have developed a deeper understanding of how important it is to continue your faith and not hold out from the hope given. To fill yourselves with compassion, kindness, and gentleness. To be thankful for what you have rather than what you do not have. While knowing that Christ will praise you richly. Provenly, I have seen how effect those few characters are in life itself. I also learned "listening" has allowed me to become humble and absolute in situation; causing me to think be I speak. (Reflecting) I noticed how my father (natural born) has changed his outlook on life as a "Father"; making him stronger and understanding. I hope with the tools that God has presented him will help him to change for the better; in addition, to becoming a better man, husband, and father. (Reality) Besides that, I myself am forever learning and becoming more inclined to why things happen, and how I can handle a situation when it crosses my path. I always find it humorous how people are afraid to question "why?" about things that are unclear.  When everything can be answered by Him if only you seek the guidance. On a positive note, at this point in my life, I am evolving into a man of God, a believer in Christ, and a son of Jesus; I will be sure that world sees and understands; forever evolving.  


Message of the Week:


"...giving thanks to the Father, who has 
qualified you...For he has rescued us 
from the dominion of darkness and brought us into
the kingdom of the Son he loves..."
-Colossians 1:29

PRAYERS.

PRAYERS. Here is a few items that I would like to add to my closet. I have been obsessing over them for months now but have not purchased them. I find the dark clothing to be very intriguing, and a way to show mystery and rebellion. However, I find it great to have that pop of color when wearing all black clothing; gives a sense of life to your outfit. If you have not noticed I tend to make a certain piece "the statement" in order to create emphasis. Also, it a great way to illustrate a piece that hold value and interest. Nevertheless, the list of the items can be found below:

Top to Bottom:

First Leather Jacket

Go To Hell Tee Shirt

Feather Ring

Double Finger Crossed Ring

Spiked Loafers

Yellow Cambridge Satchel

Actual Pain Hat

Scarlet

SCARLET. How beautiful is when you're able to see gorgeous white snow fall before your eyes? It is a sight to see. Sunday afternoon, after coming from Fairfield, CT, and being restrained from sunlight. I opened the window to see anything but little snow flurries, frantically falling from the sky. I knew I could not stay in the window, and watch it long. I had to capture the feeling firsthand. So, I packed my camera and headed out the door. With me came my lovely sister, Shaina. The entire time we were taken photographs, I could not believe how bright the sun was. I mean the sun was literally, reflecting off the nicely padded snow bed. I know, insane right? Anyway, I remember watching almost every car that passed by, having trouble driving over the thick snow. Luckily, it did not last too long before City Clean-up drove by to swipe the lovely snow away. My heart was definitely torn but I was able to enjoy it while it lasted. 


Moreover, I need to thank all of those who have shown so much support with the contest I am currently in called "PROJECT" for AzaleaTV. I truly appreciate it. I hope and know you all will keep supporting. In addition, to maybe getting your other friends on LookBook to vote as well. Speaking of friends, I have been receiving so many new friends on LB since I joined the contest. I thought that was an outstanding blessing, due to the fact, I joined LookBook to meet people from around the world. I just pray that I can meet some of them in person. Besides that, I hate to stop writing to abruptly but I am pressed with time. I hope everyone will have a wonderful week and may all your prayers come true.


Outfit:
Zara, Jacket
Black Boots, Vintage
BDG, Jeans
Olive Green with Checker Patch, Sweater.
Necklace Gifted, with my grandfather's ring.
Sailor Ring 


Ps. I will be making a video which will consist of a "thank you" response to those who supported me in the contest; and hopefully, a few updates.  


God Bless,
Steven B.  


Message of the week:

When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 

Proverbs 31:21 

When Its Cold Outside

WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE. So, remember I told you guys a few days how I almost freeze trying to take photographs? Well, here is the final product of that terribly, cold day. I decide to keep it simple, and allow more focus to be directed to the videography rather than the photographs. On the other hand, I would like to thank my fellow blogger, Peter from MWCAE, for suggesting to continue adding "Video LookBooks" to my outfit post. It may be a "Proverb's Tradition" for now on. 


Moreover, I am wearing the following items: 

Hat: Zara 

Shirt: Local Store

T-shirt: Basic 

Jeans: Cheap Monday

Boots: Gifted

To add, I have less than a week until I head back to New York. I am so excited. I truly know God has so much in store for me. Mostly importantly, I know He has blessings lined up. However, I just thank Him every day for guiding and teaching me the laws of the Bible. Lord knows, where I'd be without Him. Besides that, I hope you all have a nice weekend.

Ps. I am joining the contest on LookBook called "Project". For those of you who have a LookBook, please go to the entrees or my profile and hype THIS look above. Also, from Jan. 30, 2012- Feb. 3, 2012 I am will need all of you to vote on the Project Facebook Page here. If and only if, I make it to the final 3. With that said, I hope to see all of your support within the next 2-3 weeks.

Update

UPDATE. So, for the past few days, I have been unsuccessful. With finances being a bit low, I have been on refrained from purchasing materialistic items; however, it is only because I have been putting my efforts towards building my clothing line "Careless Mind" with partner, Shaina Brown. Yes, she is my relative. In addition, to finding a new job.  I have dedicated my time to developing designs for the line. I must say it is going great. All I am looking forward to is bringing the collection to life; but, I am not going to rush the process. Life is going good at this point. 


Moreover, I was able to take a few "outfit" photographs, and might I comment "...it was fucking cold." Fortunately, it did not stop me from completing my goal of capturing a photograph of my outfit. I remember continuously returning back to the car to warmup, in order, to come back and get the shoot (which will be posted soon). Regardless of the fact, it was a success that day; and I look forward to the next outing.  


Lastly but not least, I have less than two weeks until I return back to school. I am dreading it so much, but looking forward to it at the same time. Anyway, it is difficult to explain. To add, I will be a second semester student full of new and fresh ideas. I cannot wait to get my hand on a window, so I can bring my visions to life. 


Solemnly, if you ask me, being home has given me time to develop a stronger game-plan. I've decided to make my dreams come to life and enjoy life as I should be. As a God would say "there is a...time to tear down and a time to build." This is my time to build, to build a future and legacy for myself. And let just say I will not stop until I have prevailed, and it is my time to grace pass the heavenly gates. 

Message for the week:


"Trust in the Lord will all your heart
       and lean not on your own understanding;
  in all your ways acknowledge him, 
       and he will make your paths straight" 
Proverbs 3:5 and 3:6


God Bless,

Crew & Crew

CREW&CREW. How insanely boring is it, when you are home alone? Do not answer, it is terrible. However, I decided to fill my day with taking a few photographs. Hey! I did not have anything else better to do. Luckily, I will not have to accept this boredom for too long since I will be working another job soon. I cannot wait to get back to New York, so I can apply and check back with few stores in the area. Besides that, I thank God I am alive and progressing.
