Random Thought of The Day

Can't shake the feeling, that things will one day start to look up for me. So I gotta keep moving, cant give up on where I'm tryna be. Cant let no one hold me back, cant let no one talk me out of what I'm planning. Gotta stay focus & continue reinventing me.

Random Thought of The Day

No giving up. Its on to the next plan. Even when the weight of the world is placed on my shoulders and every door seems to close right in my face. No giving up. Keeping it moving. No time for losing.

Art: Poetry In Motion

So while browsing Deviant Art, I came across this image created by Jaxenl & Msch then decided while making a new banner for the site that this image would be perfect, though i did NOT (at first) wanna use the above banner because it was not created by me nor is it a photo of me. I finally came to the conclusion to use it for now until new (professional) pics of me come in.

Thoughts/Comments on the new banner

1 Year of DanteJ.com

February 21st was the day that I created DanteJ.com (after having the blog for 6 months prior to that). Upon giving the site its own domain and a new name (The Definition of Poetic), The site went under reconstruction (removing all posts previously posted and redesigning in its entirety) then giving a new direction. Since then DanteJ.com (now titled He's So Poetic) has been the place for Poetry, Music & Video by Dante J (me lol) as well as my incite on entertainment, art and other things.

Of course this post was written to be posted on the 21st, but all post was held back as the site was undergoing a few more changes. But now that the site is back up and running, expect more of the same and some new things to come in the future.

Makes Me Wanna Write [Poem]

Makes me wanna write

So I decide

To go off this inspiration

That has long faded away

And the things I say

Which didn't make sense

Somehow finds a way

To come out of this place

Where words couldn't flow

Thoughts hid below

Pages left empty

Makes me wanna write

Beginning with

The moment I opened my eyes

Letting these things come to sight

Yeah i feel so inspired

Can't let go of this desire

Just a moment, where

Someone's thoughts becomes so clear

Taking me [there]

Creative zone

A place a poet calls home.

So I began to write

Not knowing where I'll begin

Not knowing when I'll stop

Just writing

Just because

This is my escape

Thoughts of my mind now unchained

Words running free

How it should be

Page no longer empty...

From the looks of this. I'm not too impressed about this album. I thought Usher was gonna come with a BIG comeback. But i guess not. Can't blame him fully though when its usually up to the label as to what gets put on the album and what gets released as a single. But smh I see none of these labels learn. 9 of these tracks already leaked & usually when this happens the same thing happens next (no one buys the album) but yet they still push out the album then get quick to blame the artist for low sales and then drop them from a label when it's their fault. Guess that's why music is going in the direction it's going in......................

Remember Me [Poem]

Remember Me?
How could you forget

When you where my inspiration

And every word

I wrote it for you

And every time

I couldn't help but try

Just to get closer to you...

Do You Remember?

Every moment we shared

Every time I tried to be there

We never known

No

We never known

And all it took was just one step

That we didnt take quick enuff...

That was our chance

To cause time to freeze

And enter a space for just you and me.

I remember

Though times have changed

And so many things aint the same

I still wonder if you

Remember Me?
I'm sure I cross your mind

Like you cross mine

Everytime
I cant help but to write down a few words

For You

And For Us

For that time that faded away

Just a few words

I have to say

In A Poem

In A Song

Remember Me?
I Loved You

But Time wasn't on our side

It never was on our side
Do You Remember?

Two Upcoming Projects (in the works)

So I'm sure if you've been following/reading my blog... you have somewhat of an idea as to what I'm working on. But more details on it.... I'm working on two things, 1 being a book of poetry that I plan on getting published and the other being an EP/Album/Mixtape. The book of poetry which has a few working titles and so far 22 poems already picked out to be included will be my 1st book of poetry. And so far all of the poems are pieces that I have performed or will perform in the future leading up to the release of this book. The EP/Album which has the working title of "Waiting So Long" will be my first music project. So far 2 songs have been completed in studio & 3 songs have been demoed completely. The EP may or may not include these songs but will include somewhere between 5 and 8 songs. No set release dates for either. More on that later...

A week of being 21

So what shall I Blog about? After not blogging for 8 Days. So many thoughts. So many days gone by. A week of being 21. Looking in different directions as to where I'm going. I gotta continue on. Not much has changed since turning 21 but its a new year for me. Still Letting go of the people I dont need around. Focusing on ME. Cause I gotta do this for me. I've learned that its necessary to focus on me before anyone else cause focusing my time and energy on others who doesn't take the time to focus anything on you in return makes no sense. Especially at a time like this when so many things are weighing in on my shoulders. I HAVE to keep doing me. And in this week I've gotten some what more of an idea of what I'm gonna do to get where I wanna be and it starts with a single step. Now on to getting back to my poetic ways.
