Magic T Bouncin' Back Tonye Aganaba Mobile

So, today I had a little time to kill and decided that I would put together a slideshow of some of the dopest moments of 2010! Using the good old iPhoto program that came with my MacBook, I was able to make a short and sweet video accompanied by one of my latest tracks, " Magic T ( Bouncin' Back)"!! Check out the finished product below, super simple and easy to do! Now, I'm gonna kick it up a notch and make a more intricate video for the next song " So What ( Runnin')!! Keep your eyes peeled for that one!

And Now, without further ado......I present....MAGIC T ( BOUNCIN' BACK) - How The Living Society did 2010!!

Focus

Studies have shown that texting while driving
makes a driver eight times more likely to be
involved in an automobile accident than while
driving sober. That's twice more than the
likeliness that a legally drunk driver will be
invloved in an accident, according to a study done
by Car and Driver.

Society frowns upon drunk driving, while
approximately 81 percent of the United States
population admits to texting while a driving a
vehicle. Why exactly is this considered acceptable
behavior?
For the safety of everyone around you, focus.

*Please note: texting displayed in this film was simulated with use of props.

Kery James - L'impasse

Inspiring the parisien youth of tomorrow :) This is a track by french rapper Kery James, and the general idea of the song is to speak to disenchanted youth, struggling with what the future holds for them. It outlines the universal struggle of youth to stay in school and keep motivated. with Kery encouraging them to stay on the right path. Big thanks to my homeboy Pauli for showing this to me :)

Really inspiring stuff!

Tonye Aganaba - Fever Live at Music Hall Lebanon

This video was taken at Beirut's legendary Music Hall :) What an incredible evening, and wonderful crowd!



Spiritual Intelligence - Healing

An excerpt from the poem "Healing" by D.H. Lawrence


I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly that I am ill.
I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self
and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help
and patience, and a certain difficult repentance
long, difficult repentance, realisation of life's mistake,
and freeing oneself
from the endless repetition of this mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.


Blessings :)

Yoga for your Ears...

If you're anything like me, you've ventured into a Yoga Studio at least once, and laid yourself out on that mat all the while silently cursing and wondering why your body just don't bend! Well, fret no more inflexible brethren, you CAN do yoga after all! Check out the link below to learn more about NADA YOGA ( yes, that's the real name!) Nada Yoga means "union through sound" and it's practice is said to be the art and science of inner transformation through sound and tone!

Basically, applied practice of Nada Yoga is one Universal path to Self-Realization and can be practiced by anyone, anywhere, no matter your race or creed! For those of you who don't know the first thing about yoga, there are many categories including:


Jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge and self-inquiry
Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion
Karma Yoga, the yoga of service
Kriya Yoga, the yoga of technique
Raja Yoga, a yoga integrating all the other four forms
Hatha Yoga, a basic form of Kriya Yoga, is the yoga of physicality, postures, and movement. It's probably the most well-known form of yoga in the West; however, the main classical text on yoga - the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - discusses physical postures (Hatha Yoga) in only three of its two hundred verses.
