Dante's New Year Resolutions List

• Fall in love; don't be afraid to be vulnerable. The people who are in love and relationships today had to do the same at some point. Don't let your past control your future. Remember that while you are bitterly rejecting every guy/girl, your ex's that did you wrong are living their lives and not thinking about you.
  

• Get your own 'signature' style. Being a 'label' (meaning everything you wear is a label or your entire outfit is one label) does not bring out individuality. Show that you can dress yourself and you do not need a designer. When shopping, buy pieces that you can use with other labels or items you already own. Every outfit should include something 'signature' from you.

• Take a dance class! I am currently looking into African and Hip-hop dance classes. It is a great way to network with other talented artist and keep in shape.

• Remember your thoughts create your reality. You can do anything you put your mind to. Work on perfecting your skills and talents.

• Pick up the phone and communicate like we used to. Technology has done great things however, has created many barriers for personal communication. It is especially important to reach out to loved ones and friends, even if it's just to remind them that you love them.

• Taking risks allows the unexpected to happen and this will open doors and experiences you would not had went through otherwise. Every experience will not be positive, don't be afraid of it, learn from it and use that to your advantage. 

• Dress up more often and go out to more social events and fundraisers to expand your business network. Great for singles, take the dating scene out of the club for once.

• Think for yourself, question what people call a fact and do not be afraid to be opinionated. What people fear the most is simply being themselves. Conquer that fear.

• Stop eating McDonald's and fast food on the regular. Start cooking easy simple meals at home. This also saves a lot of money!

Media exploits Adam Lambert performance

I can't believe America was so shocked, like they didn't know they boy was gay? This is kind of like when you come out to your parents even though all along they knew the truth. People are very sensitive and particular to things they do not understand. However, the media was very accepting of the infamous Britany and Madonna kiss that was internationally raved and publicized. Madonna seems to get away with a lot more than other artist...remember the Justin Timberlake and Janet wardrobe 'mishap?' Not only did Justin leave her to be fed to the wolves, Janet was forced to publicly apologize. What is up with the shadiness of America? This was a stunt to get attention and it worked, high five Adam.

'Faith or Foolishness?'

This world is a place where good and evil can co-exsist. Where there is good, there can be evil and we often hear 'the same thing that will make you laugh, will make you cry.' When it comes to religion and worship, it is supposed to be used to uplift, bring together and make positive changes in individuals lives. In some cases it does, but in others, it can be used to justify evil. I guess this would make sense because people are not perfect, so in everything man made, there will be a good side and a dark side. We strive for things like perfection, order, and immortality...it is in our nature. So some of us turn to religion to answer those questions that 'can't be answered.' For hundreds of years, we, the imperfect people, have fought over silly issues such as skin color, religion preferences, lifestyle choices and government. Anyone can just go along with a 'social norm' just to please higher authority, even if it goes against their own personal morals. So, does that then make them worthy? Or will it demand more sacrifice and suffering? And is their suffering then 'good' suffering versus someone who is not religious? Even though they deal with the same life stresses and issues. I know people personally who have turned to God due to life situations and needing direction. This is the path they chose and are then place upon a pedestal, warning others that if they don't take the same path, they are doomed to hell. Well some, not all. Remember, we are not perfect and most people will agree to that. This, coming from an average person can sound very egotistical. Live and let live.
