ComplexCon: A Paradise of Culture

On November 5th and 6th, the visually dazzling world of Complex will become a reality. ComplexCon will literally be a festival dedicated to the pop culture that surrounds us. Imagine a wonderland where contemporary trends like music, art, fashion, food, and technology are under one roof (Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA specifically). The Complexbrand always has a unique approach in viewing our world. I'm excited to see that they're materializing that "counter culture spirit" in the form of a convention. The convention will be like a bunch of kids on the playground and I'm all for it.

To start, look at this music lineup...

These are some of the weirdest souls in the music industry today but in a good way. The melodic selection is simply thematic. It fits the festival's overall image of futuristic possibilities. It's almost like the convention will have an original score (which would be cool if possible). Kanye headlining is the main attraction point, since a great deal see him as the unofficial leader next world movement.

Besides the rhythmic vibrations, a great deal of familiar faces will make their way to Long Beach to lead in next generation discussion on style and innovation. PharrellWilliams, DJ Mustard, Raekwon, Pusha T, Karizza Sanchez, Ronnie Flag, Steve Akoi, The Game, Tony Hawk, Vince Staples, Wondagurl, Jesse Williams, and many more humans will be in attendance. But hey, I'm sure there's no definite amount. Maybe some folks might come through with the cameo, you never know with Complex.

Mr. Williams' face says it all and welcomes all with his kind peace sign gesture. The blending of ideas is very important and Complex is really expounding on that essence. Though their magazine has had major impact on my life growing up, I love seeing the growth the brand continues to have and how it impacts others lives. ComplexCon all the way, and I hope it's here to stay.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
