Good questions raised. I often think about this topic. I mean where are the nerdier studs or the effeminate aggressive males?

As CE said, the most beneficial move I made was coming down to Atlanta from Philly in the late '80's with an open mind.  When people saw that I respected Southern people and their different culture, they revealed the rich greatness…

I do think you need to be careful with certain technology.  It can lock you into an artifical capsule of solitude that encourages antisocial 'loner' behavior.  That can be dangerous in environments where you need to be aware (in…

This is basically it.  I have a few (maybe 2) friends that I hang out with when our schedules permit. At my age most of my friends have families or girlfriends so I can't expect them to just hangout on a whim as I do. I talk…

As far as Atalanta Living up to the hype, the only hype I heard is it has a lot of black people and a big LGBT community...pretty much seems that way to me.... BTW I love Little 5 points I was there last weekend. We need more places like that !

I don't think it should be a problem that the look doesn't match the mentality, if a person wants a mohwak and piercings but spends all day listening to country they should be entitled to. You says a certain genre of…

A problem I have seen though is that a lot of kids aren't street smart either but play that off by attaching themselves to every stereotype they can think of and use that as a facade. When they need to, they couldn't defend themselves even…

About Me
I'm a college student in Atlanta with dreams to transfer to UCLA and become an mad scientist. bauahahha. I must have been a hippie or revoluntary in a past life, because i have this unfading desire to save the world. Or maybe I was an artist, because i seem to have re-occuring affairs with music, from playing the drums, to now teaching myself guitar, and my mistress is poetry, and not that soft poetry that you write to your girlfriend, that hard hitting, spoken word, poetry, i love going to cafes filled with afrocentric, neo-soul, spoken word artist, blessing the mic with their words and rhythms, and often times, the person i'm describing is me. However i'm married to my camera, taking it everywhere I go. Did i mention that i'm an Explorer, I was looking to discover someone, someplace, or something new. And my camera is always there to capture the action.

Sometimes i'm a Buddhist, and need some silence&mediation, or a good yoga strecth,
Sometimes i'm Christian and just want for someone to save me, Sometimes i'm Rastafari and just want to take part in smoking herbs,
Sometimes i'm a 5 Percenter and believe that I am God,
Sometimes i'm Muslim, and just want to change my name,
I am not religious.... I'm spiritual, we can discuss that deeper later.
You can be my friend if...
I love the difference in people, creative thinkers, rebels, radicals, buddhist, atheist, scientist, activist, revolutionaries, artist, photographers, graphic designers, graffiti artist,piercing and tattoo artist, fashionistas, fashion designers. I love them ALL!

ATLANTA DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE HYPE? :-/

Posted on January 30, 2010 at 7:17pm 0 Comments

The people in Atlanta never seem to travel to far from the stereotypes.The seem to stay in their roles of what is considered the appropriate way of acting, dressing, and being "black." Many people in the south, especially African Americans in the south will not try something new until whatever it is becomes a popular trend, popularized by an hip hop artist, and then approved by hip hop culture.



I think back during the times of baggy jeans, and long white tees. My true

Isnt it odd that "Our Natural Hair,Our natural beauty is UnNatural,It is abnormal to be who you are" In the black community it is abnormal to see a Black Woman with Natural Hair.It is just as UnNatural 4 White women to wear their natural hair color, with the popularity of blonde hair and blue eyes,White women are dying their hair blonde and often sometimes adding weave to enhance their beauty. And this is done by many well known celebrites. For example Aubrey of Danity Kane Jessica… Continue
