"Target First Saturdays"

Every Saturday of the month The Brooklyn Museum presents, "Target First Saturdays." First of all IT'S FREE,hehehehe...That always gets me out!!Second, every first saturday hosts a cultural theme so think of how cool it would be to learn about different cultures, people and programs in your area.It's a great opportunity to come out in a diverse crowd where you can network, meet new people, eat great food and just simply have lots of free fun. Next Saturday the museum will explore Arts and Cultures of Japan and it's dynamic history in animation.
So mark it down on your calendar!!!!!!

Wake Up!!!!!!!

(R.I.P. Julius P. Daniels)

Here at Crooklyn Chronicles we support artists but it would be odd to not support the community as well. Sure, we can talk about fashion, music and all that fun stuff but once in a while something hits so hard it stops you in your tracks and forces you to wake up. In Brooklyn on March 15, 2008 Julius Daniels also known as LB/Juelz was tragically taken at just 21 years old after being stabbed .

When I went to the wake of Julius I looked around the room and I noticed the consistent flow of family and friends shaking their heads in disbelief. Sadly it was the usual occasion where tears flowed, kleenex were clutched and the word "damn" was uttered almost every minute. I got the sense from everybody that it was just all to familiar. How many times are we supposed to watch a mother and father bury their child? We are dying before we can really make something of ourselves in this world. We need to reevaluate our priorities, live and love life. It's more to life than getting,"money over bitches" or "getting pissy drunk," and "poppin bottles." " and most frequently used "bodying our enemies,".Oh yeah, those terms are so loosely used. Coupled with that ridiculous state of mind there's animosity, envy and this dire need to fulfill this void of being respected. That state of mind embedded within us limits our potential and in some drive us to the point where we become cold-hearted human beings and killers of Julius and many innocent young men and women.What bothers me is that at twenty-one you are at your peak to make things happen in life and instantly it cuts off.All the hard work of a mother and father are put to waste by stupid fools with no sense of morality or compassion. So I beg everyone to wake up and love a little bit more, not only themselves but others. Let's become positive individuals with a goal to make it and give back. Let's educate ourselves and let's prove to society that we are not going to kill each other.Let the Daniel's family be the last to bury their child. Please let's WAKE UP!!!!!!!!
