“I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It`s a reality.”

“The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don`t know what my public image is. I have no idea.”

“I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.”

“I don`t think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.”

“We weren`t put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.”

“Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.”

“Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.”

“I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that`s beautiful.”

Happy 48th Birthday to singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actor and arranger, Leonard Albert “Lenny” Kravitz (b. May 26, 1964)

Number 2. So, I don’t know if this is enough stuff that anyone would be interested in, but I don’t want it or need it so I’d be glad to send it to someone who does. It will be free, and I will cover shipping to anywhere.

First of all, each person participating, is, by entering, acknowledging that the contest, sweepstakes, or giveaway isn’t associated with Tumblr (including, without limitation, that it isn’t administered, sponsored, or endorsed by Tumblr), and that the information you provide me with (in order for me to send these items to you) is released to me and not to Tumblr. Tumblr is not responsible. Don’t blame Tumblr if something goes wrong. Blame me.

Also, as per Tumblr rules, you gotta be over eighteen. Sorry, young’uns.

Rules:

There will be 2 giveaways. Most of the items are different in each set.

You can enter both, but you cannot win both.

To enter you can like or reblog this post. If you don’t want to do either, you can message me. I’ll be logging the names and the winner will be chosen randomly

You do not have to follow me.

You do not have to pay shipping - these are small items that I don’t need, it is my pleasure to give them to one of you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

The winner will be chosen on June 1st, at midnight Eastern US time. I’ll notify whoever it is asap and ship it out soon after.

I know some of my followers might be interested in this! :D

“Hip-Hop isn’t just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can’t just call Hip-Hop a trend!”

“We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it.”

“We call ourselves creators and we just copy.”

“This life is a process of learning.”

“I’m a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That’s what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.”

“The only wealth I have to give, is not material - and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.”

“Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?”

“I had to learn the hard way some really important life lessons. There was really no one there to say, don’t do this or don’t do that.”

Happy 37th Birthday to singer-songwriter, rapper and actress Lauryn Noelle Hill (b. May 25, 1975)
