WE’LL HEAR WHAT YOU SAY IF...
WE’LL HEAR WHAT YOU SAY IF...
Recently one of the world’s most beloved video games dropped its polished reimagining for fans worldwide to gawk over.
That’s right, Final Fantasy VII Remake, have finally released after all these years. With stunning graphics, reimagined gameplay, and a story that’s sure to pull your heart strings, it’s no wonder fans are itching to play this game.
I want to play this game so damn bad but I still haven’t bought a PS4, so I went to YouTube to watch gameplay.
That’s when I got sucked into watching someone else play the game in its entirety step by step and I love it.
Some people can’t understand how others can watch someone else playa an entire video game.
Well here’s how..
I. VALUABLE COMMENTARY
When I watch theradbrad’s videos it is worthwhile because of the commentary. He always walk you through his process in approaching the game, tell mini stories, and give a lot of background context to a game I never played before.
I went to watch other gameplay videos because I couldn’t wait to see what happens next and I just couldn’t do it. The other vid had no talking and it didn’t make me feel connected to the game at all.
Sure the whole point of the video is to see the game, but theradbrad’s commentary provided an invaluable experience.
Which is why I won’t know what happens in the game until he makes a video showing it first.
II. YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Just like theradbrad, you can use your voice in a natural way to cultivate an audience. Use your voice for things you are passionate about and try to incorporate some of your personal life into the mix.
Theradbrad, speaks about how the game differs from the original when he played and give stories about how it was as a ten year old to play such a massive game.
Whatever your topic is you have to let your audience feel connected to you. Stick to the facts, inject some humor, and most of all have fun.
You may not reach a gazillion subscribers but I can assure you, you will have people in love with your content dying for the next piece you decide to release.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS !
WE NEED MORE OF THIS !
Yesterday, an ASTRONOMICAL event went down, yes pun intended.
Listen to “The Scotts” by The Scotts (Travis Scott x Kid Cudi )
https://tidal.com/browse/track/138678361
If you haven’t heard Travis Scott held a virtual concert within the popular video game, Fortnite.
I’m sure you heard of it before, you or some kid in your family plays it for an ungodly amount of hours.
Seriously put it down for a bit!
Anyways, this concert carried on in true Laflame fashion. Flames everywhere, raging character models, and even new music w/ Kid Cudi (Goooo Cudi!).
After seeing this event take place, I instantly thought to myself “We need more of this”.
Here’s the thing though it can’t be corny and must feel organic.
I. WHY THE TRAVIS X FORTNITE CONCERT WORKED
Travis Scott and Fortnite worked because they’ve collaborated before.
More so, Fortnite’s over the top world fits with the grandiose theme of Travis’ latest release Astroworld.
It was the perfect mix between two powerhouse brands.
Not to mention the timing was impeccable we are in a pandemic for crying out loud.
II. THE FUTURE OF VIDEO GAME CONCERTS
I would like to see more virtual concerts but they must fit the artists.
Maybe someone can do a concert in Animal Crossing or even Grand Theft Auto.
Whatever the game is as long it’s an organic fit between the artists and the video game titles this could be a new frontier that can change concert attendance forever.
SHOP.TRAVISSCOTT.COM
Monetization wouldn’t be a problem either. The event should be free but do as Travis Scott and release specific merchandise that is tailored to the concert experience.
Make it limited and a surprise drop, you’ll have impulse shoppers and devoted advocates spending millions in no time.
The gaming and music industry just hit it big!

NOBODY LIKES THE MIDDLE
NOBODY LIKES THE MIDDLE
The middle, throughout history have always been an awkward position. No matter the area of life people just don’t accept the idea of middle well.
If you’re responding in an exam you can’t play the middle, its either commit to one answer or the other.
The middle child in the family often feels neglected due to split attention between the youngest and the oldest child.
Even in the music industry the “middle” is considered trash.
Lyor Cohen, one of the world’s top music executives said that the worst thing a song could be Is “ok”. Either it should absolutely horrendous or it should be the best freaking song you ever heard.
It pays way more to be polarizing whether that falls on the good or bad side of things, I can guarantee landing in the middle gets you nowhere.
Take a look at the world’s current situation. Deep in the midst of a pandemic, lives are being tossed to and fro in the winds of uncertainty.
I believe it was comedian Andrew Schulz who brought up this point, but being”right above poor” is the absolute worst for this pandemic right now.
If you’re poor the Government have put in procedures for you. You qualify for a stimulus check, even before the pandemic you’re given access to government assistance. Assistance that assures you can at least get Section 8 housing and food assistance.
But what about those who barely floats above the line for needing Government assistance but aren’t even making 6 figures ( or anything close to it).
The practically non-existent middle class don’t have high time supply the poor have ,nor does it have the bountiful cash amounts the wealthy have.
All of their time is used for money, never seeing a break in sight (until now at least.)
Hell, think about people favorite thing to say about a person. That’s right you guessed it “I can’t stand somebody playing both sides…pick a side and stay there.”
No one likes the middle, people like certainty and constantly need assurances.
They need to know where the situation stands at all times.

FOOTAGE FROM MY FIRST ART SHOW
DEPTHS OF THE NINJA WORLD - BTS
HOW COVID-19 MAY AFFECT FUTURE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
HOW COVID-19 MAY AFFECT FUTURE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
By now, you’ve been affected by the world spread phenomenon of COVID-19 ,known throughout the world as Coronavirus.
Coronavirus have impacted all of America, leaving many people out of work, not knowing where the next dollar may come from, and anxiously waiting for a Government check.
During this meltdown I thought about how would this impact future contracts with freelancers and businesses.
I. PANDEMIC CLAUSE
I can imagine after things go back to “normal”, people will want contract drafters to specify stipulations that will take place if another pandemic is in effect.
I can anticipate people would want things such as payment obligations, deadline extensions, or a complete void if pandemic prevents the obligations from being carried out.
You can also expect employees wanting businesses to have emergency funds in place or work from home conditions that will not negatively impact their pay.
II. PARTIES’ HEALTH
Without our health we are extremely limited in what we can accomplish. Hence the term “Health is Wealth”.
Follow my art page on instagram.com/the__corner
I would also anticipate seeing language such as “ as long as parties are within reasonable health” and things of that nature.
Health will become such a focal point because after all this no one wants to work with anyone who is sick.
The slightest cough could send a room into a frenzy.
So parties would want to ensure health is the main priority so that any obligations that must be met will be met with a clear & sound mind and as much good physical health as possible.
III. ALL IN ALL
The Coronavirus is still running rampant throughout the world, devouring anyone who isn’t careful of its cobra clutches.
It is important we remain safe and prayed up.
When we are blessed to engage back in business, we should make sure all i’s are dotted and all our t’s are crossed, making sure we are aren’t caught off guard by a national pandemic like this again.

SHOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT
SHOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT
With the recent scare of COVID-19 (infamously known as the “corona virus” ) running rampant, we’re being shown a side we always knew about humanity.
We always known people take things for granted and go crazy when they realize it shouldn’t be taken for granted anymore.
People homes should’ve been filled with basic necessities.
Hands should’ve been washed, an emergency food fund should always be at the forefront of the mind, basic preparedness was always needed.
But now people’s fear have drove them to shop like crazy, frantically getting whatever items are left.
Just like earlier this year with Kobe’s tragic passing.
Only the few that recognized the greatness in Kobe apparel was already hipped to the classics Nike & Adidas produces.
But what happened when he died?
You guessed it..prices surged thru the roof!!
Shoes that were once $120 going for $1500,
Kobe gear was always readily available, people always knew he was a Goat, why was the appreciation taken for granted.
It’s an age old question that get tiresome to answer but always need to be addressed.
Obviously we should appreciate things more before they become scare and that starts by living with gratitude.
When we’re grateful to live life and see greatness we appreciate them different.
I’m grateful to witness a run like Lebron’s so I purchase his sneakers and make items inspired by him that shows my gratitude.
I’m appreciative of God placing me in this flesh so I try to honor it by treating it like a temple.
Keeping it clean, eating a certain, and protecting my mind at all costs.
If we learn to move different, when things get dire we won’t turn into scoundrel we can move on with proper adjustment because we’ve prepared and didn’t take this life for granted.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT
YOU DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT
Yesterday I walked to my neighborhood store to get some snacks, what I normally get usually comes out to $2.
I can tell the cashier was new when he had the nerve to charge me $2.40. I said “whaaaa”. Now I’m typically the type to just go whatever and pay it because I’d rather get on about my day then to argue people down, especially about $2.
However, I always take a stand when I feel like my principles are being interfered with and yesterday they totally were.
I told the young man “Naw bro this never come up to $2.40” and I just looked at him with $2 in my hand and I knew he could feel I wasn’t coming out that 40¢.
He then turned to the more experienced cashier and spoke to him in his native tongue. He then retorted back to me “$2 is fine”.
Me thinking to myself, “Yeah I know it is”, I gave him 8 quarters and trucked it home.
When you know how you or something you care about should be valued, you don’t let people set the standard for you.
Just like I know that total should remain $2, whatever principles you stand on in life should remain, unwavering!

GUITAR RIFF
GUITAR RIFF
Let me start by say how much I love my internship. Man I love my internship. Anyways, working in a courthouse is starting to feel like I’m in the big game.
Slash rockin’ out
While I’m watching hearings and talking to Judges & Attorneys, it hit me that I finally got to the fun part, just like learning to play a guitar.
Anyone who has learned or has an interest to learn how to play the guitar, knows you can’t come out the gate riffing like Slash.
You have to learn notes, chords, how to read music, all the monotonous basics before you can solo Welcome to The Jungle at max power.
Just like in law school, you start with the most basic core classes and work your way up.
Now that I’m in my last term it feels as though I’ve finally “worked my way up”.
Now I get the incomparable experience of actually being in the courtroom and my basic foundations are assisting in that experience.
Seeing opening statements triggers my mock trial experience, writing memos for my judge leads me to recall my research & writing class, so on and so forth.
Life gets pretty amazing but only after a solid foundation has been built then you can go on to have the most epic solo of your life!

ITS NOT EVEN PATENTABLE BRO
ITS NOT EVEN PATENTABLE BRO
How many times have someone told you I have an idea? Probably more times you would like to hear. How many times have you seen people execute on those ideas? Its probably a shameful low amount .
Being in my Intellectual Property class made me realize how little value an idea has. We learned in class ideas by itself are not patentable.
If the law is basically requiring execution, how can people think they could get away without executing.
Execution is the only thing that matters at the end of the day. My plan of attack can be flawless with no errors in sight but if I never start how valuable is that?
With all my ideas I started them before they were perfected. I started WELÇOME© with no inventory. When people normally start clothing lines, they foolishly purchase mass inventory (which takes too much time & money) then it doesn’t sell and now they are sitting on garbage.
Just produce a shirt and see if people like it. Just put it out!
People want their music to be perfect. “Bro I need a studio and like the perfect producer and like my video gotta be shot by Mr.Hot Shit” blah blah bro who cares!
Remember you’re at ZERO no one’s checking for you that hard, get in your bag and just drop music. People become fans from consistency, which builds an emotional connection, which allows people to stick with you as your quality inevitably grows.
Before I got a microphone or learned how to mix (I’m still learning, idk what the hell I’m doing), I recorded music on my phone or the laptop mic.
People personally tell me how they listen to my songs and I can see the data that shows the same person with a song on repeat. None of those songs was made in a A-1 studio. They were made in Apartments, Basements, & even Cars!
I didn’t let perfection stop me, I didn’t go man I got this idea for this tape and never executed!
Get out there and just do it, because the law doesn’t value your idea and people don’t either, only execution matters.

SPIRITUAL TIES
SPIRITUAL TIES
Ever had a negative comment that you just couldn’t get over? Even in a sea of admiration and praise. I think I may have found a reason why that is, a spiritual one in fact.
If you are a believer of Christianity then you know that every human is born in sin. Sin is defined as all things opposite of God.
Since you are born in sin, you don’t have to learn negativity and/or wrongdoing, it is simply a natural occurrence.
What takes work is positivity. Showing acts of love, caring for others, being merciful, etc. these are things that don’t come as natural to us, We learn these over time.
So when we see a negative comment and easily dwell on it, it is because our flesh is rooted in that type of energy. It’s rooted in down talk, hatred, greed, and other foul traits.
It is easily to overlook the good that is said about us because love is work. Peace is work. Gratefulness is work.
When you see positivity come across your socials, you have to take time to acknowledge it let it sink in be thankful that people is uplifting your art or sending general words of encouragement.
You have to open yourself up for that kind energy.
But when you see negativity its almost too easy, since our flesh identify with it so much, it is an easy entry way there is no security check for negativity, we foolishly let it in most of the time.
If you’re still doubting think about how hard it is to walk away from someone deserving of a beating from you.
You have to actively choose to react positive, taking your emotions out the picture and assessing the situation with a sound mind.
On Earth our flesh holds dominance since we are hosting our spirit in its physical bodies which is why it is a constant fight between flesh and spirit.
It sounds daunting but it is a winnable fight, it just takes hard work and dedication.
Sure there will be stuff that get us upset and lose control but if we remember to make the choice to be positive all can work in our favor.

WHY SUPPLIES ARE SO HIGH
WHY SUPPLIES ARE SO HIGH
Me at my art show, two weeks ago. I put a lot of money into, knowing it would be worth it for the monetary gain and exposure. Well worth the cost of entry.
I always wondered why supplies (i.e. art, music,) are so expensive. It doesn’t matter what field you are in the supplies are always more than what you would like to pay.
I think it clicked it to me after my art show and being in the final term of law school.
When the supplies are used the right way, there is no cap on return of investment. I could spend thousands on art supplies: getting paper, markers, pencils etc. and make it all back with one sale. (Maybe a few more depending on expenses).
Since supplies are expensive, it’s disrespectful when people try to constantly low ball artists. It costs to produce fire please don’t think $20 should be the most you should pay for anything.
Also, I have this thought when it comes to law school. Although people complained for years about the prices of schooling and whether or not you need it, I think law school may be expensive for a different reason.
The impact and return on investment from law school can extremely outweigh the cost of education if your JD, that’s your Juris Doctor degree, is used correctly.
Possibly the most famous lawyer in existence.
Barack Obama, you know who he is lol.
Bryan Stevenson, Lawyer who fights for the poor and disenfranchised
Look at people like Bryan Stevenson, Barack Obama, Johnnie Cochran, and many other countless examples, whose impact greatly exceeds the cost of law school.
What is hundreds of thousands in costs and possible debt compared to the chance to literally save people lives, guide the free world, or take arguably the most notorious case in history.
These opportunities are almost priceless.
When you can acknowledge and accept everything has a barrier of entry, you can respect the fact that these prices are set for a reason.
When you spend that $1,000 on a keyboard, or those few hundreds on computer software, you won’t let that money go to waste, especially if its your own hard earned money!
No sir! You’re going to put your best foot forward making sure every penny spent will earn you back something even if its only spiritual gain and not a monetary increase.

THIS MEAN SOMETHING
THIS MEAN SOMETHING
KOBE, INC. BY JAEVONN HARRIS ~ INSTAGRAM.COM/THE__CORNER
Today marks the untimely loss of basketball icon Kobe Bryant. Kobe, who’s greatness I’m probably not even qualified to describe, is mourned by millions if not billions, worldwide.
As always, when someone of incredible stature dies there is always an asshole, who wants to drive home the point of “he’s just a basketball player” and/or “you don’t even know him”.
Such words are always wildly unnecessary and does nothing but show how idiotic some people can be.
It is easy to criticize people over their emotional attachment to celebrities, material possessions, and even the intangible things pop culture offers.
However, the emotional attachment to these things can often have a deeper meaning than their surface level presentation.
WHEN THE LEGENDS LINK by Jaevonn Harris
To me Kobe just wasn’t a basketball player. He was a strategist, a person whose physique was overshadowed by his brilliant mind.
The thing that impressed me the most wasn’t necessarily basketball, it was Kobe’s just other-worldly approach to life.
The fact he spoke several languages, his incredible work ethic, his obsessiveness with conquering his opponent, it is something truly to admire.
When a person or thing possess this much enigma of course you’re going to develop an attachment.
People crude remarks about a person just being a celebrity or any phrase that diminish significance just made me think about a classic piece of artwork I did.
The piece “THIS DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING” actually meant the exact opposite, everything on the picture actually mean something!
THIS DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING by Jaevonn Harris
Whether it was the dropout bear that helped solidified my love for Ye, or the kingdom key from Kingdom Hearts, the video game that I can remember playing for countless hours trying to complete it.
This things may not mean anything, but given the right circumstances & the passage of time, anything can mean everything!
