Sitting, hoping, waiting.
Wishing that any moment they’ll notice you.
Wanting that warm glow your heart feels when their in your presence.
Willing to sit, stand, and pace until you receive that satisfaction.
Happiness you want, so patience you’ll have.
Stupid you.
Brave heart.

To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years. Always the love. Always the hours.

Tiffany Perez (TIFFANY TATTOOZ), Born and raised in Paterson, NJ, this 24 year old is not your average sassy Latina from Jersey. Tiffany brings more to the table than one could imagine. Growing up in a diverse urban neighborhood lent a hand at developing her natural artist ability. Even at the tender age of 2, crayon drawings on the refrigerator showcased the talent of this special little lady.
As a young adult, Tiffany was admitted to Montclair State University where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Her participation in the arts continued to grow further as she was involved in various activities such as being part of a Hip-Hop Dance Troupe, that was featured on BETs “106 and Park -Wild Out Wednesdays” not once but TWICE! She also gained membership to Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Incorporated where her smooth moves were utilized as a part of their step team.
It wasn’t till her 21st birthday that Tiffany was introduced to tattooing. A tattoo machine, given to her by her father, is what began the adventure into this new style of art for her. In the beginning stages, Tiffany was unfamiliar with proper techniques and set up for real life tattooing. But not even that could discourage the ambition of this girl. A year later, she began to apprentice at Rider’s Ink Tattoo Parlor a well-known tattoo shop in Newark, NJ, to learn the ropes and gain professional training.
Tiffany continues to pursue her passion to create beautiful works of art on the greatest canvas possible….The human body. She is one of the youngest, most hardworking, talented and reputable female tattoo artists in New Jersey. Her book of clientele continues to grow including some VIP, such as R&B singer Omarion, NFL player James Ihedigbo and MTV’s “Real World” Contestant Nick Brown. This girl is destined for big things. She has even made a cameo in the recently aired J.Lo Fiat car commercial.
So watch out for this remarkable rising star, which is looking to leave a lasting impression with her undeniable passion for art.

Trayvon Martin. Do you know who he is? His story? His life? I didn’t know who this person was until a few days ago I heard about someone getting killed on his way back home from buying skittles. You might ask what did he do to get killed. I asked myself the same exact thing and guess what he did absolutely NOTHING. Trayvon was brutly shot and murdered for no apparent reason. It may sound like a scene in a movie or even just a fake story but it’s sad to say that in 2012 racism still exist. It blows my mind that a 17 year old boy on the phone with his girlfriend who’s just walking home from buying a bag of skittles wearing a hoodie can be shot and murdered and the person responsible is somewhere “chillin” because nothing can be done about it just yet. The law is really full of sh*t. Its very disappointing the way this case has been treated. Has anyone thought about this innocent life? or the Martins or even Trayvons parents once they finally told the family their son that was missing for 3 days was shot to death for no reason at all just because he was a black young man. That 911 call could easily change the way the law has been passed in many states. Actual audio footage is out there of Trayvon Martin screaming “help” for his life and the actual last gun shot” In order for someone to claim “self defense” shouldnt you be getting attacked or actually harassed? How does that law work when someone feels “threatened” and you haven’t even looked at them? A lot of things in this world go unexplained but this is one case that shouldn’t be too hard to figure out BUT knowing how things work we might just be taking another L.

A sad but true fact is everyone wants to be a model, a blonde, a blogger. Yet they’re uncomfortable in front of a cam, afraid to expand to other lenses besides your local iPhone Instagram filter filled playgrounds. As a blonde, you must have that look, must embrace the culture, and realized that there is a chemical alteration you must commit to; yet everyone wants the natural look. Writing isn’t just letters bunched together. Writing is a gift, writing speaks volumes. Understanding that you must have talent, you then create a voice for yourself that speaks levels. Without a voice you have no audience, and with no audience your thoughts & words are wasted. Balancing your identity is a task most of us have trouble doing because we either want to do what we are used to or what to do what is “popular” at the moment. Those of us who “live for the moment” are either careless or wealthy enough to deal with the consequences of what failure has to offer.
We spend a good portion growing up going through trail and error with our identity. the game is a competition of our own nature and what is acceptable in society. people tend to go outside of their nature and try strut in shoes they can’t walk in, dresses that don’t fit them, and score on courts they can’t play on. everyone is not from LA. Everyone doesnt have that New York City appeal. everyone doesn’t have that creative skill or charisma or stylish taste we call “swag.” all in all, we must come to understand that we must make or own path, we must make our own “motto.” Realizing that you only live once should be motivation to be remarkable not an excuse to defend ignorance or out of character behavior. We are who we are before we get here and spend a great deal of our life trying to figure out WHO that person is. Features, finances, and material possessions aren’t who we are. —- the blonde, —- the model, —- the blogger doesn’t define us. it’s a label. But the labels that hold weight and matter the most —– my friend, —- my daughter, —- my son, to those who would love us no differently no matter what we’re labeled as, or what and how much we own. we are all born as a blank canvas but it is what we do, what we decide, what we choose, and what we create that will define. All you can be is just YOU. So do it. Be you.
