apparently, there's a passage in Deuteronomy or Leviticus that says "the herb was created for the service of man." Of course that sounds absolutely fabulous to a pothead. And "eat, drink, & be merry": not sure if that's in the Word, but a lot of peo…

i've struggled with the same thing. the Bible is indeed a book written by man, and there is no doubt that most of it has been corrupted by societal norms & what was accepted at the time. people using the Bible for their own socio-political gain is n…

I have been struggling with this for far too long. Bible thumping is very real in 2010. I'm from a highly religious family. My mother can't talk about anything without bringing the conversation back to Christianity. I mean we are talking about what…

I think the art community here is slowly recultivating - those borders of color are blurring up a bit where your face and your clothes are cool but your art's gotta show n prove. It seems even tho Atlanta has a large gay community that is designate…

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? :-/

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
ATLiens, will remeber the… Continue

SHE SAY SHE AINT HAPPY BEING NAPPY!!!

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 Simpson,Britn… Continue
