Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Ranger

So to all of those who don't know i am like a kid cudi super fan! like both his self run website and fan ran website hold spots in my bookmark toolbox. i don't just love the music but the man behind it. reading his words he would post to his personal blog before the major fame; that's how i first fell in love with him. but then a different air about him started to appear something well that bothered me. less humble, more angry. and then his postings grew distant. i shrugged it off as any woman in love would.. he is just going through some things and i couldn't be more right.. The Legend of Mr. Rager is pure artistry! what music should be in my opinion so many good songs! so heavy. so well put together. "Mr. Rager" is a song i can close my eyes to and feel the room spinning around me.. i could sit here and do a thorough review on each song but i'll just give the short.. they all kick ass! so make sure to get a copy of the album when it drops on tuesday :)

take a stroll with me

i've been looking through some old pictures and it makes me think back.. there were times in my life when i was happy! really happy.. i miss those times.. there was never anyone who understood me or anyone who thought the way i did and they might not have ever accepted me.. none the less i was happy.. there were a few people who really could get under my skin and piss me off at times but the good was just as good as the bad was bad.. and the bad was really bad! it makes me wonder what path am i taking now.. where am i headed, what do i want and how can i get it? why waste my time sparing others feelings when i know they have nothing to offer me in anyway.. why let someone think they are helping me when really they are only helping themselves.. why cling on to a man who clearly only desires one thing just because i know he will never get it? are there really any people in life who don't belittle you in someway?? whether they mean to or not and does it make a difference what their intention is? i feel there are some people i should reach out to but at the same time i don't see the point.. is it going to change the past? will it make me feel any better? its not like i am going to be able to share anything with them anytime soon.. there are so many things in life that i want to do that i want to be! am i taking the wrong path.. i love photography and when i participate in it it brings me great relief and joy.. and after the pictures are taken i feel accomplished.. but lately i feel i have been lacking the passion out of all the things i feel i love i have sunk so low that i haven't been inspired to do any of them.. have had ideas for songs.. images.. paintings but haven't had the drive to make any of those things come true.. however there is one thing i have continued to do.. write..

i keep a what some would call a journal.. to me its just a book that i put my thoughts down in.. plan my finances... document things i want to remember a line from a song i sang up at work.. i've never stopped writing through the pain.. even if it wasn't a grand poem of an amazing song.. if all it was about was some idiot broke my pen running to catch a train he was gonna miss anyway.. it was pen to paper.. i'm not sure how but i need to make this into something..

while i was at battery park with cam and deron i was looking at all the skaters thinking i need that! something that i loved and people who loved it just as much.. i need to find an activity that makes me forget the pain.. i need to find people to share it with.. i love my friend i truly do! but there is no coexisting outlet.. no shared passion.. its hard because i don't even know what my passion is outside of honesty and expression.. i spend to much time at work to enjoy life.. but with out spending that time at work i wouldn't stand a chance anyway! i want to work in retail terribly and yet it scares me so much to freaking follow up call after i turn in a ..

i need to go get a got damn library card! i love to read to imagine! oooooh maybe i should join a book club! ahchacha! and actually wake up to swim! i feel like i've wrote more than anyone would want to read in one blog! so imma leave it off here.. until next time

niq

hello girl

waiting, waiting, waiting.... its so hard! all i want in the world right now is a job at allsaints... i don't care about having a boyfriend, making new friends, getting my hair did! lol (done). but i just feel like working at there would help me in more ways than just financially. ikno it seems silly but to me having a job is helpful in so many areas of life. and to have one at a place that i think is amazing! well that would be even more helpful.. i keep trying not to give up hope but its so hard.. i just wish they would call me right now :) ahhh what bliss that would be

come see me :)

i finally have a website! i'm still working on it but check it out anyway!! okay :) http://www.tianacarter.com

what the buck?! chris buck!

this semester has been my worst semester so far in college the only one i haven't liked. but the one good thing about this semester are the guest speakers my portfolio developement teacher has come to speak with the class. Today Chris Buck was going to be speaking at the school and our professor had him come in to our class before hand. I must say this was the highlight of my semester. He is a pretty awkward guy and i imagine he might not have been the most social of kids growing up.. While i may be completely wrong i say this in good meaning. see i'm not the most social person in the world and i'm a little awkward and i have been having serious doubts about being a photographer. it seems like school is made to scare you away but when people like Chris Buck come and speak it kinda eliminates that fear and makes me feel like "okay, i can do this." and besides the fact that Chris is a pretty awesome man, hilarious and can speak well about his work his work speaks well about itself! and its just as humorous as he is.. in a kinda awkward sinister way. i like! i love!

i'm kinda "slab up" right now!

maybe its the Cleveland native in me or maybe its my present mood.. or maybe its just who i am? heck its prob all three but i've always been a chip tha ripper fan but i gotta say i'm finally truly impressed by him.. don't get me wrong, its not that i didn't think he wasn't talented before; if that was the case i would have had nan one of his mixed tapes. but i feel like he has finally harnessed his talent into something that works well as a collection of music. thcleavelandshow mixtape is awesome. i approve! def his best mixtape so far. what i love most is that his personality hasn't changed in his music but he seems to take it to the next level maybe its the smooth production on the tracks. sounds more like an album and less like someone made it in their basement. def should download it... link below

beauty photography!

beauty is beyond the make up... so far beyond that its behind the camera. not to long ago i was pretty depressed and the pictures from this photographer made me even more so.. but not because they were bad but because they were so beautiful i felt like i would never be able to make things like this happen.. i've since done a lot of thinking and watched a lot of ugly betty and now i look at it a little different. i have to work hard and take a few steps out of my comfort zone if i want to make something something this beautiful.. Micaela Rossato not only makes beautiful images she makes inspirations :)

Alone in the city... pics!

well i said i would post them up if i liked them! and luckily i do! :) even though we needed four prints for class. i think i will only post three because those are the ones i love most :)and i hate to be one of those people who complain about technology but i do think the colors look a little different uploaded to blogger than how i edited them.. that being said i hope you enjoy

love.

Randall Slavin!!

well its about time i post up another photographer!!! yay his name is Randall Slavin and I actually chose him to do a presentation on in class.. part of the presentation was to contact the photographer.. So i emailed him! and he actually got back to me!!! considering he is a pretty busy photographer who shoots celebrities i was quite surprised but really happy and the way he answerd my questions were so honest, i love it.. and his work is pretty kick ass so he is a must to check out! click the picture! peace ;)

Alone in the city

So in class we have an assignment to do.. based around the word intangible.. I've come up with the concept "alone in the city" basically a story of a girl who is alone. Alone in a city full of people. its funny cause i feel like that pretty much all the time so hopefully i can translate that into the photos. i just kind of feel empty right now.. like i feel hollow because idk how to feel. A part of me is used to this feeling "numb" but a part of me still hurts terribly. Well i will post the pics up if i like them :) it will be the first peek into my work :)

i daydream at night

loves,
sleep is for the minds of the uncreative..
the minds that are at peace
sleep is for the resting minds...
those minds that can fall into a sweet slumber..
from sweet lullabies and have sweet dreams..




alone to face the harsh winter winds with not one to understand
am i really so different from those who surround me??
i once thought i found my match! someone else who originated from pluto..
cast out by the planets -someone like me-
i should have known i was one of a kind but i rather have been a fool..
as if two weeks of happiness could cure a lifetime of pain..
but for two weeks i wasn't alone on pluto :)
though only natives can survive here
therefore alone once again

one day i shall marry the man on the moon
to make are way through the galaxies and to never look back
tho if mr. moonman wed another before i take place in his life
i will walk the earth alone.. longing for fly
but soaring in my own style

sleep is for a mind at peace and my daydreams keep me awake at night

love,
niq

blood red candles

my heart for you,


why are you here?

i want to make my father proud

well what about you

yea well for me too :)

for a man to work his whole life... from dirt poor living on a farm with no shoes.. to now.. he worked his whole life for me and my brothers to give us a chance at what he never had.. one chose not to take that chance.. the other in the process of losing any chance and me. as much as i want to be something in life for myself i feel i have to be something in life for him... the one person who has always pushed me to fallow my dreams who has love me despite everything who has given everything he could for my well being.. he is my hero, my father.. he deserves for his life to be worth all the effort he put into it.. and i want to give him that someday... it may seem like a big burden to carry but it is no burden to me and i carry it willingly and proudly.. one day i will make he more proud then he could imagine and i will let nothing stand in my way..

love,
niq
