In the year of 2009 I created 10 commandments that really helped me along the way. The point of creating goals or affirmations in the New Year for me is to be a part of the designing process of your life. Let it go. And then look back and see how well you managed to keep to your word. You can check back at what you wrote every month or every now and then to keep you on track. These are the commandments I wrote for 2 years ago in 200 but I would like to continue to make them a part of my growth in 2012. Maybe they will have some relevance to you and your goals. 10 Commandments Thou shall be compassionate and patient with thyself Thou shall eat healthy and exercise frequently Thou shall be impeccable with your word Thou shall build on a Financial Plan daily Thou shall not take anything personally Thou shall meditate 5 hours a week (wow this was in 2009. Now in 2012 I will meditate for 14 hours a week) Thou shall not make assumptions Thou shall be a problem solver Thou shall always do you...

http://youtu.be/0EcIxl_QcX8 This guy had some personality. He was actually scaring passengers away from sitting next to him before I turned the camera on but entirely sarcastic and funny. So once I realized that he had jokes I had to get my Undakova spy cam on. Only it turned out that he really liked the attention and wanted to perform directly in front of it. I gave him a huge tip and a high five and got off on the next stop but this is what happened before we made friends.

http://youtu.be/q0Y_xVHlYgk I was having a ball. Thank you Terrance for showing me such a great time in VA. These moments were what would be the spark that will have me pursue getting my own bike to ride. I loved it. Loved the fresh air and the openness of being on a motorcycle amongst nature. Classic times. Once again thank you Terrence for your hospitality. Hope you enjoy the video.

http://youtu.be/VJEbfeG2oAE One of the best that ever did it EVER. I loved Heavy D growing up and had his records. Man oh man we lost a legend. THE BEST. I will greatly miss you Heavy. Heres a classic track from Heavy so you can hear how bad he was. I got nothing but love for ya. 

http://youtu.be/T6cXe5AInDo Hey this was a great time and I am so glad to be able to share it via video on youtube. My Vipassana brother from out here showed me a great view of life and here is some of the footage of our moments together. Little dog, Mountain, Rugged snow boots, Wal-Mart, Churches, Fresh air and tranquility are a few things you will notice in this 3 minute video. Hope you enjoy. Peace and love. Undakova.com

http://youtu.be/oZ2s8Uge_OU Mello, Taylor and I just came from Papi Shank’s album release party and were reunited after a long time since the last event Shank had way back. We were enjoying some freestyling and some random jokes while waiting for Fragile to come around with the car.  This is a good video to see how silly me and Mello get when we are around each other with our Philly/Bing/Manhattan Swag. This is a long video and the sound goes off after a certain point. But it is classic for the fact that it was random and I had no idea my man Mello and I were going to have this moment. Hope you enjoy. Peace and love. Shout out to Tbaby, Mello, Papi Shank and the LESGO Fam and Fragile. 

http://youtu.be/P-r4MfdZcDk In Galax Virginia market gets checked out by Terrence and Undakova. I thought you could only get two items but it turns out you could get two of each. WHAT? I had a look through and found some great clothes. A suit or two, a shirt or two, and some things for my family. I even found a fall flight jacket. Classic times. Thanks T for putting me with your Cranberry Road code of entry. Peace to the town of Galax.  PS did you know that Galax is the name of a plant. Which is what the town is named after. 

http://youtu.be/eQFF1g1S8gg I was having a ball. Thank you Terrance for showing me such a great time in VA. I think this was the spark that will have me pursue getting my own bike in the near future. I loved it. Classic times. PS like I said in my video “no disrespect to any one who is homosexual or bisexual or transgender etc.” Saying “no Homo” is simply a saying that has followed me from my younger days growing up in the lower east side of manhattan. Just jokes :)

http://youtu.be/zt7qSEmaciU Unfortunately and fortunately a well, this Kwame video/song was a big influence on my musical style and physical appearance. I will upload a photo of me and my polka dot shirt at another time but for now hope you enjoy “The Rhythm” 

http://youtu.be/oOImT5Gka6c I didn’t know I was going to explain the first time method. I didn’t know I was going to be driving down the road with Terrence in Virginia. I didn’t know I was going to begin randomly recording a conversation Terrence was having with me in the car. And this is what you get when you get the behind the scenes moments of Undakova. 4:12 I begin explaining the FIRST TIME METHOD. Hope you enjoy.  (A FLY ON THE WALL PRODUCTION !!)

Its been a several days since I completed my 10 day Vipassana course in Blue Ridge Virginia. I have wanted to learn what it meant to experience Vipassana since 2007 and finally in 2011 I have attended a course that was well worth the wait. I am actually more thankful that I took my time before taking the course because I spent several years meditating in lotus pose and became accustomed to blocking out time simply to just be and clear my mind in meditation.   Vipassana as taught by S.N. Goenka has nothing to do with clearing or concentrating ones mind as I knew it in my past experiences of meditation. Vipassana 10 day courses are designed to "purify your mind" which is a much more intense process in my opinion. Why so intense? Well for me it was several things. Allow me list 3 The Timetable: The first obvious intensified experience for me was based on the fact that I thought I already knew how to meditate in many respects. I was used to meditating on the surface of my mind an...

I will be your light in the dark I will guide you No matter how far apart I am still beside you Forever straight from the heart Let me remind you I'll always love you the best You taught me to love myself repeat 2x Sometimes I am confident Sometimes I am insecure Sometimes the world that's around me makes things so difficult They tell me happiness is found with fame, fortune and wealth I'll always love you the best you taught me to love myself These days I can't help but feeling People don't see what I am seeing All we are is human beings who need something to believe in I believe we hide what's really deep inside Music helps me say what's on my mind I will be your light in the dark I will guide you NO matter how far apart I am still beside you Forever straight from the heart let me remind you I'll always love you the best you taught me to love myself Repeat 2x You showed me to keep my head up When i am down and get fed up If I should fall I can get up ...
