Is it Urban?? Word!!

So I experienced some more emcee ruckus on sunday.

It was soooo goooood. I couldn't take my eyes off all the young peeps reppin.



I went to support my homie Stephen. He def ripped it. I was so amazed by his words. But it wasn't really surprising. Haha. . .we all know he's really good. Me and Liika and Jimmy were hype. Haha.

But. . .the host? His poem?? It was the fucking shit. I wish I coulda recorded it.

It was like he ripped open my head and stripped my brain of all its wrinkles. I felt simultaneously braindead and speechless and headheavy of all the things i could say to describe it. But my words wouldn't suffice.

That's the point. These peeps had gifts that made them unique. It inspires me to be and do even more than I originally planned or hoped for. Cuz I know I'm unique, and I wanna make the best of everything and recognize the full potential of things.

I'm gonna ponder. . .
1. to develop my B-Girl stance (breakdancin :-D)
2. hip hop dance classes
3. NYFA or sum other workshop related stuff. Iono what tho.
4. Displaying my artwork in the city/some alternative way of showing peeps my art other than skool functions.
4. something else

But yea other than that. . . I'm really enjoying my concentration in art. I feel very confident in what i can do and i like that I'm trying new things and taking more risks in my artwork. Figuring out what i haven't done yet. That's a whole lot.



I'll take some really good pictures of my pieces soon. Upload and open to the public. :-)

I've been taking alot of interesting risks lately. . .

Momma's Hip Hop Kitchen.

I truly believe that God is a DJ.



Today was amazing!

Experienced the best thing I've experienced in a while. Reaffirmed my love for the Bronx and womyn.

Black, boricua, asian womyn...yum.

"A Womyn of color response to faith, feminism, and hip hop."

This is what I needed. It came at the right time and in the right way. I've been living with hip hop blastin out my stereo for a while...and I'm feeling like...mmmm...



AZUCAR!!!

Yo. . .Denise Frohman aka Ms. Miconseption is the shyt. So many female emcees in one place blows my mind and pushes me to fully recognize.

"I got more soul than Bob Marley's segregated dreadlocks."

"Direction of ascension..."

"I am the tree that you saw in the distance that you didn't think was so tall."

Ok! Another emcee. Queen GodIs (God Is.)



She has so much soul.

Today was like many souls colliding into one big lesbian spiritual orgasm.


Another beauty. They're sisters. Called "Misnomer(s)". The emcee is named Knewdles (noodles) and the violinist is named SOS (sauce). . .



Well. I'm worn out. Decided to not attend two parties. Oh for the love of music. . .

:-) this is my church. music is my church. it is where i heal my hurt.

good lawd

{{{{{"I am comfortable in my own skin and feel no need to please anyone else. I know what I like, what I want, and what I love. Nobody can change that and it is disrespect if they try to. It also means that I am a person of experiences, pride and compassion. I will stand up to those everyday oppressors. My little corner of the universe revolves around the fact that all you need is love and the rest will follow. Everyone deserves the same chances, the same respect. Humanity is not a privilege."

-That's what I wrote in an online interview hosted by a lesbian blog spot. I really like it and wanted to save it so i posted it here for safekeeping.}}}}}

Getting past this kind of relationship has been like packing up everything and putting it away for safekeeping. Everything was important. The best things don't last. I wonder if I should give her back her uber-comfy sweatshirt though.



One of the things I don't like about being single is not having that one person to talk to who will listen to you even if you repeat yourself just because they want to hear your voice. It's those kinds of things that draw me to relationships.

If this chick was able to keep her phone intact for more than a couple of days then I would have a steady rebound. Nah chill. A buddy. She is def not relationship material. She's a smoker.

But kissing a smoker isn't really like licking an ashtray. . .

;-)



Ellian was talkin on the phone and killed me after takin this pic cuz she looked silly.



We were eatin sushi in some place in the city...:-D It was a great day.

California rolls and salmon and rice rolls. I tried spicy mustard with soy sauce mixed in. . .It was delish. I wanna see her again.

But anyway. . .in my immediate surroundings. . .I see no hope in that area. But it's all good cuz I don't need it.

I made a female paper bag puppet. It's a secret. Share. I'm a child at heart. :-D



Her Face



And it flips open to reveal a bird flying in the sky.

HER HEAD IS IN THE CLOUDS!!

Fast Forward?

I was just jammin to Q-Tip and LL Cool J and Digable Planets and some other old school stuff. And decided to drop a line.

Today was chill. I'm slowly getting over my misfortunes. I actually got some stuff done that will really help my future, like scholarships and stuff.

I seriously hate school. It's just in my way. . .

Why must I get up in the morning so early when i know i'm just gonna be put to sleep all day.

The only thing I'm enjoying is art. . . And maybe economics. Cuz it actually matters. . .na mean??

Move - Q--Tip

Pictures from yesterday.
