sensitive about my shit!

I'm probably the last person on earth that should have a presence on the internet owing to the fact that being introspective feels ever so awkward....i guess that's why most things i write aren't about me, if that is i write anything at all.

Spike Lee Dropping Knowlegde

  • THR: Looking at the most successful movie of the year to feature black talent, The Help, why do you think the film was able to transcend racial boundaries and be both a commercial and critical hit?
  • Lee: OK, let me ask you a question: Why did Driving Miss Daisy win best picture in 1989? That's my answer.

Permalink No but really it is. Perfect for me anyway, others probably think my taste in music is…eccentric.

Permalink I think i’m in love with Graze boxes. Especially when they give me vanilla seeds & a honeycomb flapjack.
Permalink atreegrowsinbrixton: daranwang: David Hammons Bliz-aard Ball Sale, a performance piece in which David Hammons situates himself alongside street vendors in downtown Manhattan in order to sell snowballs which are priced according to size. This act serves both as a parody on commodity exchange and a commentary on the capitalistic nature of art fostered by art galleries, while putting a satirical premium on whiteness.

Permalink I remember when I was doing rent and I was too thin, and I was doing that on purpose because I’m dying, I’m a HIV+ drug addict. I remember having to eat raw food and doing all this work to make sure I could stay thin… And I remember everyone asking me when I was doing press for the movie, “what did you do to get so thin? You looked great!” and I’m like, “I looked emaciated.” It’s a form of violence in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be, for… what’s sake? Not health, not survival, not enjoyment of life, but just so that you can look ‘pretty’. I’m constantly telling girls all the time, “everything’s airbrushed, everything’s retouched, to the point of just that it’s never even asked, and none of us look like that.” - Rosario Dawson
