52 Weeks.
So, inspiration comes from all over the place.
This time, it was from Jamila. Her 52 dresses in 52 weeks project has inspired me to do something with what I like to do, which is write poetry.
I am currently in the process of planning out my own project: 52 videos on 52 weeks, a year of spoken word.
I know I need to do something proactive with my life, and maybe this is the thing I need to get...
My Mom's Birthday Present
My parents have many pictures around the house, but they’re all ugly collages of the family. Not that my family is ugly, but the style of the collage itself isn’t very aesthetically appealing.
In order to rid my parents of the horrible wall art that should stay in photo albums, I ordered some prints of pictures that she probably forgot existed. This was also pretty cool for me, since...

My Biggest Fear Is To Become Irrelevant
To succumb to the gravity of a black hole, lumped together and forgotten. To lose all power over life’s journey. To grow old and wither away in the darkness, ultimately put to rest in a wooden box with no name. My words become the tales of an unknown author, inked in a book that lies hidden underneath the garbage of the world. My actions that once took universes of courage are lost in the...

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. I'M DONEEEE!
Oh how I remember when those words rolled off the tongue so smoothly as I sat naked on the toilet, waiting for my mom to appear like a superhero to clean me up and get me ready for the rest of the day.
That was almost 20 years ago. Sike, who am I kidding, that was 10 minutes ago.
No but really, my mom’s been there for me since second 1. That’s a long ass time. I guess I just really...

It's That Feeling You Get
when you make a new playlist for something you’re about to do in the future.
Sifting through songs, beats, melodies, for that perfect track that speaks the words you cannot while experiencing memories you haven’t lived before.
Choosing the song that sits exactly where your heart beats at that very instant, where the bass hits in tune with your pulse. It’s racing as the chorus...

LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE IGNORANT

LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE IGNORANT I was in Harlem with a friend recently in a McDonalds and while in line I hear a woman mumbling and our conversation goes as follows. WOMAN: I don’t understand why all these people are moving so slow, and I cant even understand what they’re saying *I continue waiting in the long line pretending not to listen to her* WOMAN: Its a shame that...

Real Talk: Resolutions
New year’s resolutions are whack.
If it takes every January 1st of a new year for you to realize you need to do something different, you might as well not do it.
You can make a resolution any day. What makes January 1st different than December 31st?
If you wanna do it, just fuckin do it.
