Creepy Aja ghost is trapped in a maze of light...
Artificially created Northern Lights in Georgetown...You can thank my cigarette for that...
My hat is so dope it attracts its' own light-beams...
I've been known to grrrrrr at the camera from time to time...Clearly Maada wasn't feeling that...

Exciting Obsession: Lomography

In this world of digital photography where I almost always end up looking like a crackhead from hell, I always felt that the gritty uncertainty of a non-digital photograph was lost...I remember the days when I was the President and Founder of the Photography Club at Academy of The Sacred Heart (insert giggle here, I give you permission...I WAS and AM a dork)...Long after school photo shoots and hours in the lab with Mr. Weschler who always made you feel like you were the dopest photog on God's green earth...*sigh*...But boy oh boy was I stoked - yes STOKED - when I saw the type of photos Lomography produces...I am again in love with photography...

$2,500 shot of cognac anyone???...

Bananas is all I can say...I mean, I really thought I was ballin' when someone bought me a REGULAR bottle of Louis XIII for my birthday a few years back when I was saditty and all...Seriously, you should have seen me...You couldn't tell me SHIT...But this right here gives anyone who can afford to buy a $2,500 shot, let alone an $80,000 bottle, full permission to act like a total pretentious bastard ass asshole of America for at LEAST a two year time period...Remy Martin only produced 358 bottles of this Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum cognac and rumor has it that the only club in NYC that carries it, Rose Club at the Plaza Hotel, hasn't even sold a shot of it since it arrived in June...Come on Diddy, they're counting on YOU...

Nike Dunk High: Back to School = (Heart)

Apparently Candyland™ inspires creativity this nigh...

Sugarplum fairies spread sugarcane fantasies so sweet I've gotten a toothache even the tooth fairy doesn't have enough money for...And the Candyland™ scenario of perfection less perfunctory than functioning perfectly in scenarios more monotonously morose than melodious perfection have jaded me in the jade-green of the landscapes Candyland™ holds in its' own jealous jurisdiction...It's this same jealously that lends itself to my desire to be the strawberry shortcake with a strawberry milkshake that brings him to the yard of my strawberry fields yielding fieldy shortcomings blooming with strawberry scented kisses...Where Milk Maidens and Eros meet for selfishly salubrious secret encounters...

J.D. Salinger on love...

I'm currently reading a collection of short stories by J.D. Salinger entitled 'Nine Stories'...I've been really really into it and have developed a somewhat new found appreciation for his writing...So much so that I went and picked up my old high school detested text 'A Catcher in the Rye' and plan on reading that next...Anyway...This is an excerpt from the last short story 'Teddy' that caught my attention unexpectedly...I appreciate this viewpoint on why and how we love one another...Hopefully you can find some enjoyment in it too:

"I mean they don't seem able to love us just the way we are. They don't seem able to love us unless they can keep changing us a little bit. They love their reasons for loving us almost as much as they love us, and most of the time more."

Word of the Day: Innocuous

*Note: Yes, this actually sucks - REAL hard...I've been trying to force out this writers block by writing...It's not entirely working...Argh!*

innocuous

\ih-NAH-kyuh-wus\
adjective

Meaning
1 : producing no injury : harmless
*2 : not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility : inoffensive, insipid

My obnoxious innocuous obsessions are innate and inconsistent

Floating further away from fact yet in fact a fixture in my fiction

And I scribe these scriptures with encryption in the dictionary of my diction

So as to not offend

Epic geography fail...

Man oh man...I am a BIG fan of epic failure moments...They make me laugh...I like laughing...For all those who love to laugh too, I present...The daily epic failure...

Yessssssss!!..I love the SHIT outta this song (call me crazy if you wanna)...So much so, I posted the vid on my MySpace page...Anyway, the guy who made it, designer Taz Arnold and his brand Tisa Vision have created the "Obama For President" collection...Modeled after the internet explosion song and video by TI$A entitled "Vote Obama", the extremely limited edition collection consists of three pieces manufactured in Japan by Phenomenon...The release date hasn't been let loose yet, but it'll be available at select stores and through the Tisa website...Yes, they look a little silly - well A LOT...But meh...It's the principal...Fuck what yo momma say!

$700 Tablet PC...Cop that jont!!...

Wow, this is a serious steal....Tablet PCs are fantastic (though not nearly as fantastic as, say, a MacBook Pro - yes, this chick's a Mac snob); especially if you're an artist, writer or designer...It's pretty much an impossibility to find one under $1,200...Well here's your chance to cop one of them jonts for hella dumb retarded exponentially cheap...I'm talkin' an HP Pavilion tx2500z for $700 with free shipping cheap...It's a little bit of a beast (By, say, Mac standards...tee hee) weighing in at a hefty 4.5lbs but it features a 12.1" touchscreen (woo-hoo!), AMD Turion 64 X2 RM-70 2GHz dual-core processor, 160GB hard drive, 3GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics (Yeah, no fancypants here babe), Bluetooth, integrated webcam and Vista Home Premium.

From hood to Heirarchy...

When I was a little girl, I used to dream I was a princess...Being from Detroit, that was far from reality, but a little girl needs to dream and a little boy needs to truly believe he's a King on his throne in the midst of his ghetto surroundings...A New York based artist named Kehinde Wiley has made a hood star into a hood King and assumed the responsibility of making the impossible dream possible through the timeless medium of art...Wiley takes photographs of urban youth in their natural environment and invites them to pick a piece by a Renaissance artist that peaks their interests and then places them in those same ironically displaced environments...They are Kings in places where they don't seem fit, but at comfort in their own elements...The mood set is one of a time overdue, when young black men could claim the nobility that is flowing through their veins; when we were truly the Master of our own continent...for those in the D.C. area, this innovative vision can be seen (along with other work from various artists) during the "RECOGNIZE! Hip Hop and Contemporary Portraiture" exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery through October...You will be proud to see brothers presented with the valor they were originally meant to be viewed in...

This is beautiful...And yet I always seem to wake the beauty of sleeping..abrupt and adjunct at this junction...I am waiting for the unanswerable question of that which is present and yet omniscient and absent simultaneously...I love it and yet I hate the words tongues secrete from barren banishment...of mindless moments when meticulous mentals mentor molevolant misunderstandings...so tired and dreaming of the rewinding requiem of this dream...and the fast forwarding of forward thinking and words that cannot catch up to the TIVO of my cerebral...I am sorry...I am solving my own serpent-like synonyms and making the acronym of your name less acrimonious in my amorous anonymity......

...Basically, just buy the fucking T-Shirt, my dudey...

Current mood: artistic
Category: Life

I fucking LOVE T-Shirts (being a t-shirt diva and entrepreneur and shit...BUY MY T-SHIRTS!!!!...AND Damon's T-shirts...AND Darren Harper X FatBoyD 'King of Pop' t-shirts...damnit...buy them bitches...and contact me for how)...But I find it rather strange how many fucking T-Shirts I've been receiving lately...I mean, there's seriously an influx of t-shirt donations in my direction...and I proudly rock them all to support the talents of those I love and believe in...As I was sitting here organizing them all; my crazy ass mind started thinking about the phrase: "Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt"...Why?...I don't know, you know my mind is random and unpredictable...and...well...unfathomable and indistinguishable all at the same damn time...Since I'm on some spoken word shit lately, I prepared another piece with a spin on this same saying but related directly to love (Cuz that's what I do muthafuckas...that's how the fuck I roll...why did a bitch get all worked up just then?...lemme get it together...whew!)...ROCK!!

I've been sweating pain, bullets and tears of this nonporous love shit
And all I got was this fucking t-shirt
Grinding down my own integrity to gain some integration with you
Becoming a revolving door of reciprocated disrespect with a revolver to my head
Dreaming dreams definitely definitively deferred
Sidelining and sideways, siding slightly with singular silly shit
And I'm still standing here in front of you, naked and waiting
And breathing in the aroma of your arousal
Mistaking this temporary truncation of sexual frustration
As love, and loving looking at us in the mirror of my mind
Beautiful and perfect, yet murderous and melancholy
And this shit right here is my solitude
All I know of sanity
Naked and vulnerable
Staring in the glass eye of feigned love
Holding a revolver to my head
And screaming "Fuck you!"Fuck me!Fuck!
And all I got was this fucking t-shirt

The Corner Prophet Knows...

This is kind of a sad attempt at getting some writing done @ work...The unfortunate part is that I'm at work ergo I can't get any creative juices flowing due to the constant distractions and it's blowing the shit out of me because I feel like writing...*sigh*...Anywho, since I'm reading 'The Corner', I'm heavily influenced by it...This book, in all honesty, is probably one of the greatest glimpses into urban street life I've ever read...Fuck a DonDiva or a F.E.D.S....This is an intelligent, gritty and grimy look into the dynamics of the corner...

I am a fiend feigning futile fortitude as my fascination with him forms fluid frequencies

Standing on this corner trying to score a packet of Amorous Attention© so I can relieve this itch

And the gangrene stench of a rotten heart growing largely more fond of something other than bitterness

Banishing my once broodingly braggadocious banter of bitterness from banishment of my benevolent being

Being bold and fastidiously falling for corner prophets...

Sassed...

I will NOT hold my breath...

Ummm yeah, so I promised I'd share some excerpts of my book...So here's an excerpt of an excerpt since I'm not really sure I wanna share it in its' entirety...Let a bitch know what you think...Feedback is important to whether or not I publish, so I appreciate you reading...You are a beautiful soul...

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil...
Current mood: lonely
Category: Life

It is dark and nightfall is well into it's brewing stages as midnight approaches and draws me near to seek an accomplice to ameliorate all that the sun has taken away in his garden of darkness...As roses bloom and luminously lure me in I am somehow distracted by the mysterious nature of its' thorns...A beauty so deep and pure and true and yet dangerous and callous and ill-mannered...I prick my finger as if a connection to the pain and the love of beauty and art in roses in full bloom could bring me closer to the fruition of my figurative fantasies...where day and night bring smiles alike and thorns become more adored than rose petals...

There it is...the inevitable sting of....
Current mood: played
Category: Life

a vicious mixture of salt and vinager poured into the open wound on my heart after I've been played like the strings of my violin...and the knife-edge of the distracted words of one whom is no longer interested in what you have to say or want is sharper than even my mind...and I'm afraid I can't even think of any brilliant words to say to make things change...I can't be anything different than a reflection of myself...I cannot breathe any differently, think any differently, talk any differently, do any differently, be any differently...and I will NOT hold my breath...as intense as my tension can be I am lighthearted and yet wholeheartedly in this...and I am speaking from perspectives of both lust and like and yet I do not like the thoughts rushing through when I'm lusting over you...A smile can so quickly be brought to my face as I disgrace myself by being an object again and yet turning it into the fairytale of my fantasies and dreams deferred as I loan my heart and my libido to you under other ulteriors...I am only able to hold an interest as long as the interest is accruing...and then...I am nothing...a distant memory...and yet something that is not so distant as a memory but in the forefront of those long forgotten...I can only be what I've managed to grow these years to be...and I can only wish that someone would pay attention...

Oh how I love the perspective of she who has been through many things...as I...but moreso she...and yet she is me and I am but a mere reflection of her own rememories...

'Twas funner than a sunnuvagun I tell ya...reverting to childhood is fun...It's been OD long since I've run around in the fire hydrant...*Sigh*..."Back in the day when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore but somedays I sit and wish I was a kid again"...

That's what friends are fooooooorrrrrr!!...

*Sorry for the shitty quality, but you get the picture...BITCHES*

So, here's another glimpse into who I truly am as a person...If you know me, and I mean REALLY know me, you know that I feel my purpose here on earth is to spread kindness and positivity to the world...With that being said...Here's a glimpse into how I do that...I'm posting this because it touched my heart that my good friend felt so passionately about my compassion that he posted it on his blog...Seriously though Casey, you know you're one of my most treasured friends and I love you to def, I'd kill a muhfucka if they fucked with you...Real talk...Also, check out his blog, DMVernon.com, it's pretty effin dope if you ask me, and his fotog is more OFISHAL (spelled wrong on purpose, you should know by now I'm not a fucking idiot...Sheesh!) than mine will ever be (see evidence after the jump) and perhaps one day he'll let me play with his camera *Please*...

In case you're wondererin'...

Some poetry...For that ass...

Well, this blog is gaining a wee bit of attention (thanks DMVernon, Maada, and Brad Piff!!) so I feel it's mighty right time for me to share a little it more of my crazy self...I am doing this for some feedback and also because I think it's only fair to get to know the person who writes this blog a little bit mo betta...I'm almost done with my first book (entitled 'The Mad Rantings of a MySpace Blogger') and I'll be posting excerpts here until it's published...PLEASE give me some feedback...So let's start with some poetry (my forte), then I'll post some actual excerpts later...

And I have juxtaposed these words to fit in justly with my jurisdiction

The jury has judged and the vicious verdict is in

Decidededly I aligned myself with the mishaps of misalignments of decisions dedicated deliciously to the delicacies of my own tastes

Because of this I am brooding and bleeding on the shelf of self recognition and bequeathed to the beastiality of my broken belittlement

See, I've sown these seeds and sewn my sight shut to the salaciousness of my own insalubrious deeds

Woe is me as I wane in worthyness and wax in wanting

The ebb anf flow of the tide of my actions

roister ..ROY-stur.., intransitive verb:

1. To engage in boisterous merrymaking; to revel; to carouse.
2. To bluster; to swagger.

I am alive in this moment 
And roistering on a roster featuring rowdy renditions of resuscitated beings
Reveling in raunchy repetitions
That lead to rememories I can replay on the movie screen of my mental
Damn the sex smells good 
And I am seething in the soothing sensations that seduce me singularly
Vocal chords reaching voluminous notes
Ringing through the halls of Aphrodite's temple
As I dance on the drawbridge of desire
Roistering with a swagger comparable to none
