Who in the hell is Anthony D?

I'm a photographer, model, blogger, occasional fictional writer and overall creative junkie. I created this blog in order to showcase my work and myself to the world. My blog is filled with my thoughts, my writings, my photography, my artwork, my opinions, and the music I love. I realized that my views and opinions on life and trivial issues were WAY too extreme to just keep to myself. I mean keeping them to myself would be selfish right?? If you're easily offended, now would be an EXCELLENT time to click that X in the corner of your toolbar and head for the hills!

Jam Session: Young Love "Unafraid"

Love this track! Powerful lyrics, great feel, sultry, rockin', kick-ass song! Very relate-able for me. ;) Enough said.

Picture Perfect.

The most beautiful interpretation of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" i've ever heard comes from a young prodigy by the name of David Sides. I never thought that song could make me emotional...I was wrong. He is amazing. Apparently he plays without sheet music and solely by ear. Thanks to my good friend Fran for introducing me to his music. I want this rendition played at my wedding..lol..is that weird?

Review: "Telephone"... I Think I have the Wrong Number.


The highly anticipated "Telephone" music video was a WITTLE disappointing, somewhat disturbing and irrelevant to the lyrics of the song. But I can find slight ways of appreciating it's basic artistic value. It just reminded me of how over Beyonce' I am and the way she has over saturated the music industry. Gaga was enjoyable to watch at some points but the overall finished product was a bit of a let down. I wasn't a fan of the track itself, but I hoped that a kick ass video would save it for me. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Jam Session: Jamie Cullum "Don't Stop the Music"

I saw this guy on QVC performing this song live on his piano and I couldn't change the channel. This cover of Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" is absolutely superb. I still love Rihanna's version but he SLAYED with this rendition. WOW. His piano skills are almost more impressive than his voice. Obsessed.

Quote:

All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.

 [This quote is SO true. It goes along with the phrase "love makes you do crazy things". Well worded and precise.]

Writing: "He Is..." By Anthony D

[Background: This piece is a very personal one which I wrote back in Feb 2010 during a very 'interesting' period of self evaluation. I feel like it's therapeutic to write out your positive traits and flaws sometimes. It can really help you visibly see some areas you may need to improve in, but also give you a boost of self esteem and remind you of your true self worth.]

He is a strong man with a voice.
He is intellligent.
He is bright and he has ideas.
He is proud of the skin he wears.
His rich shade of brown does not define him.
He has class.
He is tactful and focused.
His attraction to men is solely a fact; not WHO he is.
He is unique.
His flaws remind him that he is not perfect.
He teaches.
He learns.
He inspires.
He is thankful.
He is me.

Jam Session: Estelle- Freak

 

If Lady Gaga and Missy Elliott created a child and she was raised in Britain..she would be Estelle in this video. WOW is all I can say! Hot track! I love how irratic and odd it is. I also love the art direction in this video. This was a completely new side of Estelle. With its 90's feel mixed with a contemporary uptempo club beat! Love it.
