The African Queen

Of course I like the name of it but names aside, I absolutely adore the Louis Vuitton African Queen clutch. There's several different versions of this dating back to the Fall/Winter 2007 line up but my favorite are these two. I want them and need them in my life, in a non-superconsumer just want it because I like it type way! The above Monogram Métisse mixes embroidered silk satin, feathers and beads. In addition this fly ass clutch is lined in lambskin which just makes it quality and cute rather than just cute. My favorite color being gold is what sells me on the second as well as the monogram design not being too obnoxious. It is made from a combination of wool, silk and polyester, and with natural cowhide trimming.It also has tassel detailing, which consists of resin and metal pompoms, shiny golden brass on wood Louis Vuitton Inventeur plaque, and shiny golden brass eyelet detail. I like em, I love em', I want em, that is all.

Love Conquers All

In the Words of Satan by The Arrows

This video was one of those finds you're eager to share. From my sense not in mission to evangelize the masses but in an Aaliyah "If you only knew" type of way. I appreciate it not only for what it says but the creative approach of these artist to express the truth and love of God in a " One in a million" type way. The message is clear, enjoy.

A Pondering Mind Purposeful Mission Statement

He or She who say’s you can’t save the world is he or she who hasn’t tried. It takes a village of concerned individuals to raise a cultivated child. Maliza Kalema

A Pondering Mind Cultivation Institute (PMCI) is defined as a non profit organization that uses their profits to advance their programs of service. The goal of PMCI is to provide children, individuals, families, communities and so on with a wide array of remedies to societal ailments that play an integral part in the cultivation of children thus the future. In order to explore the links between the vast mind boggling array of social ailments that can keep a child from reaching their full bloom of potential PMCI also serves as a research institution shedding light and seeking concern on what it is we put our children through. The education systems, the foster care systems, the neighborhoods, the politicians, the teachers, the households we‘ve put in charge, turned the other cheek to, and given the authority to cultivate our future. PCMI is a charity org, a social services provider, a lending hand, a mentorship, a safe place, a listen ear but over-archingly it is a journey of one individual to provide service and education to all children of all races, orientations, faith, and creed, and to provide remedy to, unreached potentials, ceiling-capped futures and uncultivated minds upon us. In the words of Julian Bond “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” and we are doing just that. I listen to individuals discuss how soaring gas prices have caused them to cut back on gas consumption. “Gas is too expensive to waste on frivolous trips at these prices”. Yet we haven't seen the enormity of the value of a mind, wasted. Left to develop amidst adversity. I walk along side colleagues who have eased their consciences of living in a country that produces 30% of the world’s green house gases by “Going Green” never daring to throw a plastic bottle of commodified water into the garbage rather than a recycling bin. Yet driving their sun powered, battery- powered, hybrid cars to zoom past homeless mothers one hand out for spare change and the other grasping an infant child. Everyone has their cause but by the grace of God please let A Pondering Mind Cultivation Institute be ours.

For information on how to assist in the development of PMCI please click the contact us link…….{nothing there?} I know. I want to get a contact us on a future website that is yet to exist and so I’ve spoken it into reality and displayed a constant need for collective efforts. We welcome donations but we solicit assistance. Web designers, t-shirt companies, mentors, people with time on their hands. Every and any help to make sure our children, our future are cultivated to reach their full potentials of life.

The Website [the Collabo]

A Pondering Mind & A Village Raised are to host a revenue building, fundraising collaborative website. The website is both a blogging outlet and a social networking site. It is to be published account, response, stories of the ups and downs, step by step emotion by emotion processes of two college individuals who have obligated themselves to societal uplift. Both regular college students with a concern for those to follow they are starting their efforts with virtually no start up cost. With this site they hope to centralize efforts for societal uplift while providing example to the world that change starts with a village of concerned individuals. Through networking, business barter, marketing, good hearts, conscience people and the grace of God every and anyone can make a difference in cultivating our future.{{Check out Village Raised@ www.villagepillage.com }}

"Putting in" on a Pondering Mind Cultivation Institute"

Americans on the daily pour their money, time and resources into a variety of things cars, houses, electronics, clothes, women, men, kicks, food, music, etc. For some, I dare say most, this outpour of money, time and resources goes beyond our immediate necessities, beyond luxury items of convenience to the very cornerstone of what's known to most as vices. Alcohol, sex, and drugs and entertaining venues that encompass it all don't come cheap. Nor does the cultivation of a child reaching their full potential admist the adversity of societal ills.

[So here it is:]Before a Pondering Mind Cultivation Institute can reach it's full potential as a non-profit service organization destined to cultivate the minds and life of youth and children everywhere there are some expensive preliminaries it needs to "cop" in the process of doing so. As the founder and creative director of PMCI and a concerned individuals I'm asking that people put in on some of the expenses. The list of expenses will be updated as they arise. Here donators and people can see what the expense are and how they would like to if possible help. Donations are accepted in the form of ($5), ($10), ($20) and if your trying to cop and O let me know :) We thank you in advance for your help and and remember:

"He or She who say’s you can’t save the world is he or she who hasn’t tried. It
takes a village of concerned individuals to raise a cultivated child"
