AFROPUNK

... the other Black experience

--------------->RAVES! PUT IT OUT THERE!<-----------<3

We have a vent area to say what's eating us.

How about the stuff that goes right?

How about the stuff that inspires us?

No matter how small

It could be a great meal

Extra money on your paycheck

Found $20 on the sidewalk

Helped a little kid learn to tie their shoes...

whatever.

^^^ Brotha Daoud, do we work at the same school? Damn.
= I didn't get that cute Ghanian sister's info that I met on the train. But I did help that old blind white dude get to the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush and he was very appreciative. And I got spend the rest of the day admiring the beautiful women of NYC. I'm tired but I may be back today. I love summer...
Yea. Its highly immoral. Just wondering why you used it in the case of a man who was doing a shitty job hitting on a married lady. Twas all. Such an academically styled insult.

def. pederast: a man who has sex (usually sodomy) with a boy as the passive partner

Its the stuff ancient societies used to do... I'm not sure why you chose that word.

We (she and I) use it interchangeably with "pedophile", amongst ourselves. She had a child with her; there's a fine line to cross for strangers (who profess to have no children) who make comments out of the blue, like, "Hey, I don't know you, but do you think your child would like Toy-R-Us? I have a gift card she might enjoy...you have to come get it, though."

Patronizing/luring children via gifts and sweets? Pederast behavior. Can't go around doing that. People are sensitive about strangers asking about their children, especially if the stranger is a grown male. What happened in Rome years ago is irrelevant in this case.
uhm, because the guy could've been a pederast too if his interest was to dupe the mother in order to get to the daughter... there was nothing overly academic about rage's use of the word.
oh and an actual rave from Sunday or was it Saturday?

whenever:
110 dollar silver plated bangle for 30$ ... yeah ok, not that great but i love the bangle so yay me.
770 dollar marsell oxford booties for 100$ ... that was a omfg moment. :] for serious, i was doing a search and destroy on any marsell shoes used or new that was selling for 100$ or less. couldn't find any. *nods to herself* yay for being that super cool, spot on w/ a brand that is high quality and not marred by hype, and yet still the relatively frugal chick. sales are wonderful and timeless "pieces" are even better.

i'm also hopelessly in love with my mustang guitar now... still a bit hesistant w/ the vox amp i got, but i think i've narrowed down my first two pedal buys and that should settle the sound issue for at least a year. this guitar tho...it's a great little piece and i got it for a real bargain. short scale was definitely the right choice for me and even tho i didn't like the ketchup red body w/ the white pickguard comparing it w/ the sea of guitars i had to work w/ last week it really is a gorgeous guitar with the sound that i didn't even know i wanted till i heard it. :p

shotgunning my cello curriculum was probably a very stupid, challenging, but ultimately most rewarding decision i've made this year. Six months in and i'm trying to tackle this Handel piece... it's grueling. Shit, sight reading is grueling too, but whatever... more practice and exposure means i'll do it more easily sooner. I'm the worst person in my "ensemble" class, still haven't memorized the different keys except for the obvious ones like C major (lol). but that's fine w/ me. fucking shit up is ok as long as i'm not deaf to my fuck ups and can correct and recover quickly. the only thing that's got me a bit hesitant is the "progress" made towards a left hand injury--but acupuncture really is an amazing thing. I had a very positive and healing experience... and the potential injury is a good thing too because it's made me practice more...concise- and precise-ly.

oh... and i got sort of promoted at my job and now am officially a part-timer and am on my way to getting medical and maybe even dental benefits.

and even though i was kicking myself for forgetting to ask about visiting the dude or jamming with them in some unspecific future, the fact that the interaction was pretty positive on the whole w/ both bands was... obv a good thing. in terms of playing music... it's getting to a really good place. the ensemble will be cool. lead guitar i'm on its' heels and i can just feel the positive and creative energy in the folks i know i'll find to play with... definitely getting to a point where i can express myself in a nurturing way to others and with a solid point that isn't purely cognitive. ...and i'm definitely realizing all of the connections i've just ignored for the past few years. future is looking bleak still, but with a crap ton of good stuff to do in the meantime.


so much shit to do and it finally doesn't feel overwhelming. :]
I have all this to look forward to yippppppeeeeee

= School's out, yeeeeeaaaa! Have fun students.

- You, Mr. Video games-comics-cartoons, please learn to read this summer.

- Ms. Quiet, you have a wonderful voice, use it more often.

- Ms. Severely Challenged, have fun with Mom & Dad and I hope they face reality and get you some serious professional help.

- Mr. Spoiled-cuz-u-got-dat-gud-hare-all-da-gurlz-n-wimmin-luv, enjoy your favored status. You don't know what objectification and fetishization is, but you're about to experience it hardcore when you hit puberty. Just don't let these lovesick girls get pregnant by you so their babies can have "dat gud hare". And watch out for the haterz who'll try to jump you 'cause the girl they like is crushing on your ha.., I mean you.

- Mr. Volitle Good Guy, get it under control. You're smart, popular, honest with parents that obviously care about you. Stop going off the handle on every person that says something crazy to you. You know so much more than other boys your age when you're doing right or wrong. Keep this up and those bigoted teachers who keep blaming everything bad that happens on you will win. You're better than that (though I can't lie, if somebody said that about my sister I would have probably busted their nose open like you did too when I was your age). I've got your back even when I ain't around. Remember what I told you.

- Ms. Sourpuss, smile more. And don't get mad 'cause I told to get your feet off the chair, you know better than that. You'll be alright but if you didn't want to say 'hi' to me when I greeted you and and your friend who did say 'hi' back, so be it. I've got no beef with you but I ain't losing sleep over anyone thinking "Mr. D is mean because he wouldn't allow me to act the fool".

- Ms. Athlete, keep it going. But stop trippin' or you won't make the team.

- To my severely underdressed girls: please get your parents to give you some respectable clothing. You can be cute without dressing like Lady Gaga or current Miley Cyrus.

- To my Junior Thugs in Training: please find new icons to look up too. There's a reason Lil Wayne's in jail. Can't get big $$$ and meet girls touring the penal system.

I can't really explain how refreshing it was for me to read these positives... but, yeah.


".. future is looking bleak still, but with a crap ton of good stuff to do in the meantime. so much shit to do and it finally doesn't feel overwhelming..."

Amen. Feeling the same of late.

thats fantastic.
Good for you.
I'm part of your audience whenever you get some music up.
my homegirl told me about this place that you can get package meal deals for a decent price and the place is within walking distance of my house. They have locations all over the country. For $35 you can get enough food to last a month (for a single person) but they have family meals too. Also diabetic meals, gluten free items, fruit and veggie packages and I guess the menu changes every month.

Yes! Enjoy your life, sis. This is wonderful.

I'm in the hotel room typing while my two reflections are still asleep, and my daughter is laughing in her sleep. I love it!!! She must be having a great dream.
