8 Months of Success

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 3:09 PM
06•25•09 -> 02•25•10 & beyond...

Eight months ago elleELLEeye was created! So let's celebrate by going comment crazy and leaving lots of love! "Eight is seven plus one, and is hence the start of a new order, the beginning of a new era. Eight thus represents regeneration and resurrection." No wonder why eight is my favorite number!


Deuteronomy 30:9 says "The Lord your God will then make you successful in everything you do. He will give you many children and numerous livestock, and he will cause your fields to produce abundant harvests, for the Lord will again delight in being good to you as he was to your ancestors."

"A Walk Through Brooklyn"

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 2:31 PM
A good book is hard to find, but once you find one, it expands your wanting to read even more. Author Rashaun J. Allen writes “A Walk Through Brooklyn”; a collection of nineteen poems that express the black experience from a vivid point of view.


The book's perspective is that of an African American man who has experience growing up in American society without a father, and losing a loving mother. “A Walk Through Brooklyn” covers a range of topics such as self-motivation, love, friendship, abandonment and loss - all things that elleELLEeye value. His poems attempt to ask and answer questions such as: How does self motivation lead to success? What’s the difference between love and lust? Can a friendship be repaired? And how does a parent’s addiction affect a child?

Be sure to keep up with Rashaun as he does book signings around NY. You can see him on March 27th at 12pm for a Book Signing for "A Walk Through Brooklyn" at:

Market Block Books
290 River Street Troy, NY 12180
www.marketblockbooks.com.

But if you can't wait until then...
PURCHASE "A WALK THROUGH BROOKLYN" NOW!

MixTape Madness

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 11:05 AM
You have to appreciate the artists out there who don't mind putting out their hard work, asking nothing in return except for their fans to listen. We all know someone who's done so, whether their famous or just a friend trying to fulfill a dream. Here are some mixtapes that you might enjoy. There's all free so don't hesitate to click the album art to download. Happy listening!


Willie (from Day 26) gives us his SexTape. A clever name for the sex symbol himself. The mixtape is filled with "baby-making" music and would definitely do the trick if one is trying to seduce...DOWNLOAD HERE


Our recently featured artists, the Oxymorrons, give us two mixtapes; Better Than McDonalds and Grass on the Field Play Ball - both short and sweet. Filled with eclectic sounds and shocking vibes, you'll like what you hear no matter what genre you're into. The Oxys fuse comedy, skits, instrumental, rap and singing into one...yea that sounds about right, like a bunch of Oxymorrons. DOWNLOAD HERE


Last but not least, In My Zone, a mixtape release from Chris Brown not too long after his album release. I guess Chris wasn't satisfied with the results of his fourth studio album Graffiti and chose to hit the world with even more music. Although I have yet to listen to this mixtape, I'm sure there are some records on there that are worth it. I hope the world won't shun Chris any longer for his actions and respect the music he's putting out. For In My Zone...DOWNLOAD HERE

Any mixtapes you feeling? Let us know!

Black's effFIRST POET

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 2:09 PM
First Poet in Black History:
Lucy Terry (1746)



BARS FIGHT
Samuel Allen like a hero fout
And though he was so brave and bold
His face no more shall we behold.
Eleazer Hawks was killed outright
Before he had time to fight
Before he did the Indians see
Was shot and killed immediately.
Oliver Amsden he was slain
Which caused his friends much grief and pain.
Samuel Amsden they found dead
Not many rods off from his head.
Adonijah Gillet we do hear
Did lose his life which was so dear.
John Saddler fled across the water
And so escaped the dreadful slaughter.
Eunice Allen see the Indians comeing
And hoped to save herself by running
And had not her petticoats stopt her
The awful creatures had not cotched her
And tommyhawked her on the head
And left her on the ground for dead.
Young Samuel Allen, Oh! lack a-day
Was taken and carried to Canada.


Lucy Terry (c.1730-1821) is the author of the oldest known work of literature by an African American. Terry was stolen from Africa and sold into slavery as an infant. She was owned by Ebenezer Wells of Deerfield, who allowed her to be baptized into the Christian faith at about five years of age during the Great Awakening.

Her work, "Bars Fight", is a ballad about attack upon two white families by Native Americans on August 25, 1746. The attack occurred in Deerfield, Massachusetts in an area called "The Bars", which was a colonial term for a meadow. The poem was preserved orally until it was finally published in 1855.) "Bars Fight" is her only surviving poem.

eyeForgiveYou

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 7:13 PM
Today's Toast To Repost is a post on forgiveness. One must forgive themselves in order to forgive others.

F O R G I V E N E S S

"There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” - Bryant H. McGill


The Three Essentials of Forgiveness

1. Forgive Yourself First:

In order to succeed in your path to forgiveness you must first forgive yourself. How can you expect to forgive someone else when you can’t even forgive your own faults and shortcomings? So often we forget this essential first step.

Sometimes we have issues within ourselves that keep us guarded and stubborn from realizing the truth. We expose others to cover our own insecurities. Once you learn to forgive yourself, forgiving others will become easier.


2. Accept Your Past:

Depending on how much hurt you have suffered in a particular relationship, this can and most likely will, take some time. But with the right attitude, anything is possible.

Look you can’t change what has happened to you, you and I both know that, but what you can change is how you look at your past events. I’m not suggesting that you have to recall hurtful periods of time and smile about them, but rather simply acknowledge that they have occurred and move on.
Soon you will realize that if your relationship is to ever exist in a peaceful state, you first have to accept our past.


3. Choose The Path Of Happiness:

If you choose to forgot the path of forgiveness you are essentially choosing a path of misery. Forgiving can be challenging, but forgiveness is essential in living life to your fullest potential. One of the greatest reasons we are miserable is because we subconsciously believe that suffering is necessary. We amplify the hurt long after the initial act has taken place.

What we fail to realize though, is that suffering is not normal, we choose to suffer. The sad thing is we are naturally made to be happy, but our social conditioning tends to make us believe other wise. We don’t need the latest product to make us happy, the only thing we need to live a happy life is a happy mind, a mind that can love and forgive.


Who is it that you need to forgive? What are you waiting for?

JuNK FOOD: Knowles Lovechild

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 10:41 AM
Destiny's Matthew's Child?

TMZ has obtained a photo of the alleged love child of Mathew Knowles — aka Beyonce’s dad — and while Knowles has yet to take a DNA test … we kinda see a resemblance.

Alexsandra Wright — who claims she had an 18 month affair with Knowles — filed a paternity suit against him back in October and gave birth on February 4. Wright’s lawyers are in court today, trying to get Knowles to pony up child support — so far, sources say, he hasn’t paid a cent.


For his part, Mathew has skirted the issue, telling TMZ, “We are not aware of the birth of a child. Mr. Knowles has never had a DNA test. These rumors are untrue.”

Just yesterday, a judge ordered Beyonce’s father to pay $8,200 a month in child support plus 100% of uninsured medical costs to a woman who claims that Mathew Knowles is the father of her child.

Alexsandra Wright claims she had an 18-month relationship with Knowles and he’s the baby daddy of Nixon — born February 4. Wright’s lawyer, Neal Hersh, went to court today asking for support and the judge granted it.

But Knowles will take a DNA test March 1 … and the long-term support issues hinge on the outcome.

It's such a shame to see a family reunioned because of the simply gesture of remaining faithful. Best wishes to Mama Tina & the rest of their family. What do you think of this?

ToP THiS: Pet Peeves...UGH

Posted by DANiE at 5:15 PM
Pet peeves are things that people do, that simply annoy the heck out of you. Whether you hate it when someone is constantly tapping their pen, or talking during a movie...pet peeves are rude actions, and are generally irrational. Listen here as I rant on some of my personal pet peeves. Do you do these things? Can you relate to my frustration?


DANiE's PET PEEVE #1
cELL pHONES!
Yes, I understand that you can text, check facebook, e-mail, tweet, BBM, AIM, and oh yea...make phone calls from your mobile device (for the most part, so can I), but it's really rude to do so, while you are with me. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, but generally if I invite you to dinner, or we're going out somewhere, I want your company, and I would rather not look at the top of your head for hours. Please don't humor me by showing me an inny that your friend posted on your wall. Explaining the inny through your laughs, as I squint to look at the screen (in an attempt to pretend like I care) is quite foolish, and I refuse to play along anymore.
When you make your electronic device the center of attention, without saying so, you tell your company that whatever is on your phone is more important than their presence. Call me old school, but this just gets on my last nerve!

Here are some other pet peeves that I found. Some of them I can relate to, can you?


- When someone mumbles, and then says "Forget it!" when people don't hear you
- Drivers who don't use a turn signal
- People who sit next to you on public transportation even when there are other seats available
- People who use speaker phones in public places
- When someone is writing on a chalkboard and then they erase it to write something new,
but they don't erase all of it, so you still see half of a letter here and there
- People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom
- Dining with a picky eater (they can never order off the menu without customizing every aspect of the meal).
- Dirty dishes in the sink.
- People who habitually need favors.
- The creepers at red lights. You know, those people that start inching forward in their cars slowly until the light turns green.
- People that pop and smack their chewing gum.
- People who wear too much perfume/cologne.
- Cutesy intentional misspellings: lite, kwik,
- Sick people who cough near you.
- When you're invited to a party (or any event) with people you have never met, and the host doesn't introduce you to anyone.
- The "yes but" people.
- People who say "It's always in the last place you look".
- People who will write something borderline mean, but then follow it up with a smiley face :)
- People who always have to be right and have the last word
- People who wear sunglasses indoors.

getannoyed.com


DANiE's PET PEEVE #2
tEACHERS pETS!
There's nothing wrong with someone who talks a lot in class. Personally, I like when other people have a lot of things to share since I usually feel like I'm the one talking too much. But, what I can't stand is someone who pretends like they did the readings, or the assignment, and makes left field comments, in hope of fooling the teacher and students into thinking they did the work. Just shut up. If you did not do the work, fine! Just don't waste my time and college tuition on your non-sense.
What are your pet peeves? Share them in a COMMENT!
