The Opressive Defense

Gotta make this a good one since I've been a little busy.

We live in a society that sees the success of marriages in an unflattering light. A society that commonly disputes the less than favorable chances of maintaining an honest long-term relationship with someone, before getting acquainted, nevermind an attempt at getting through the more strenuous struggles.

You may assume I'm referring to the urban Hip-Hop culture that typically propels a machine whose function is to constantly bash women, as if it was a (those who allow the culture to define their identity) defense mechanism against the dangers of trusting them. Furthermore, a positive independent woman movement, typically prominent in female hip hop and r&b subject matter, is also accompanied by an anti-committment sentiment, to match. Or, one may want to say this is more of the impact of the inner city culture that is plagued by broken homes for various reasons, some justifiable others unacceptable. The fact remains, there is an issue. One that can't be ignored.

Rather than outline all the issues in relationships and the statistics that back them, I think this blog is built around the comments and driven by feedback...What do you think are the top recent phenomena that hinder relationship success, because when cuffin became regulated by the seasons, I don't think i was the first to figure that it was hinting a cultural issue! We live in a 'grind time' era but where does 'family time' go, in a society that can't bother to build with each other.

Once a commodity.
Now, a danger with benefits...
Some say it's Twitter and Facebook causing the issues. I say the Social Networking Boom only gave a clear view to a situation that already existed, while inventing a distraction from it, which will untimately prolong it, hopefully not to the point that none of us trust each other ever again.

Please speak your piece, as I've probably already caught you in my news feed venting on the topic, and remember to Pass that to the left! Waahh!

Is Fate Predetermined?

So....I'm in this "TYPE" of mood right now.....

Fate. Is it something that you believe in? Whether outwardly or subconsciously, most of us will answer yes to this question. Have you ever looked up in the sky and just wondered "what do you have in store for me"? I'm not talking about religion, I am talking strictly about the stars and the power that they seem to possess.
People believe that you make your own destiny in many cases. The argument to that would be how can you make your own destiny? By making decisions, and these decisions can in fact be swayed by both the constellations alignment and lunar activity. So, with that being said, does making your own destiny still count for as much? Obviously you are going to sway towards giving yourself credit and that is deserved, but to what degree? For instance, why do you think that it is a proven fact that the stars and moon can change our frame of mind and put us in a trance or psychosis? It seems strange that we can be swayed by something so far away.
That makes me believe that there HAS to be a reason. I have literally sat and pondered this dozens of times, weighing both ends, and now I know that there has to be a reason. It makes no sense why we can be coaxed into doing things during eclipses and what not. In conclusion, sit down, do what you with your "vibe", and ponder this one!

First ciph...always an adventure!

The Flyest Vibe Intro.

This is where I’m guessing I provide the introduction to what this is all about.

As I sit on the train at 3:15am, fresh out of a studio overlooking Times Square *great for inspiration*, I find now to be a great time to explain this without interruption of my thought process. I’m Cly, host of “The 4/20 Lounge”, alongside DJ PM and Supaears Juan 2.3. Between the three of us, there’s gonna be a lot of clashing, experiences, and moments of enlightenment. The type of shit that makes one tell you that you’re “Interesting”, along with the type of debates that start arguments while showing you who you really are, in addition to the truth about who’s around you.

What is The Flyest Vibe?

The vibe makes the difference though. You ever been in a nice room with some of your closest most opinionated friends, passing blunts until you wonder if you’re the only one thinking about tappin’ out! Rubbing your face and head for no reason lookin all stressed, but feelin so good? The cloud got everybody laughing about different things but still laughing together, as you notice that you’ve spent the last 10 minutes asking for a lighter that was already in your pocket? You’re so into the convo, but still feel like you’d be able to tune out EVERYTHING if you wanted to. Cotton mouth got your tongue feeling sandpaper against your cheekmeat?! You can talk about the most taboo habits, make the deepest confessions, and come up with ways to say things you’ve felt forever with the right vibe in place. So, consider this the ciph just when it got dark and somebody remembered to bring the wine AND cups, get OPEN.

Expect no territory to be safe from the shadow cast by the cloud we’re on, we talk about ANYTHING thought provoking or inspiring on the show. Our opinions will tend to differ we color code our input so please feel free to interact, you might get somebody on your side, or you might get us all telling you how stupid you sound TO US. Not in the name of putting you down, but in the name of seeing how STRONG your position is on a given topic at any moment, how many other ways can you grow from a blogspot?! “Kill Groupthink” is the movement and we refuse to go against it.

Consistency is key! We’ll keep consistent news, show postings, mixes, music, interviews, and chances to interact with us and the show. All I ask is you be a consistent follower whose intent is to contribute to this movement of progression, even in “leisure” (that’s my favorite word for being ‘relaxed’). Meaning, disagree! Prove us wrong, argue with our opinions if you dare, we might give you some colorful feedback, or it could feel like you’re in the 307 waitin’ for that “pass to the left” to approach from your right!

Make The 4/20 Lounge your space to clear your mind, but that means you gotta be prepared to air it out! When you don’t feel like it matters how somebody is about to feel in response to what you think needs to be said that’s when you’re on The Flyest Vibe. We’ll always be there to meet you head up. Waahh!
