I have been somewhat paralized in my attempt to figure how I want to respond to #BlackLivesMatter and the bullshittery that countuines with our Idiot In Chief (aside from 'I told you so' to those who thought I was overreacting when he was voted in) and have only been able to come up with two concrete thoughts or as some of you may call them, paintings. * One of the few plus sides to having been raised by educated hoarders is an over abundance of books available (There were 7+ bookcases here at one point). Since being forced to move back home, I recently happened to find a stack of books that was with some of my father's stuff, including 2 hand painted protest posters I hope to include as an installation part of a future show. *Most* of these fit right with #BLM and educating myself on the poetry and prose of the side of myself my American Education had left behind. * The yoga is relavant to my recent attempt to stick with #UnderBellyYoga (@mynameisjessamyn) daily. Missed the last 2 days. And meditate along with @SamHarris #WakingUpApp for 15 days now. * I am currently having a hard time trying to even get out of bed in the morning, but I know the answers I seek are hidden in these pages and practices. Just need to keep pushing through until 'this too shall pass'. Take care y'all. * Almost forgot to mention #IniSips black owned coffee and tea company. Seemed appropriate. * #roots #alexHaley #fiveplaysbyLangstonHughes #lanstonhughes #mulatto #jazzcountry #NatHentoff #coupd'etat #EdwardLuttwak #poetsonpoetry #CharlesNorman #ThePoetryofSoul #PoetryofTheBlackRevolution #A.X.Nicholas #IAmThird #GaleSayers #AlSilverman #Black&White:StoriesofAmericanLife #CarolAnselment #DonaldB.Gibson #Man,TheManipulator #EverettL.Shostrom #UpFromNigger #DickGregory #JamesR.McGraw https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_J4fFpuwy/?igshid=i69jd4ld3zig

🖖🏾👏🏿 #MTVDiary #YouThinkYouKnow #ButYouHaveNoIdea #LGBT #BlackGayMan #Filmmaker #MusicPodcaster (#BrainAneurysmSurvivor #2017) : Day #002 #Logbook : No one can predict the future. We really don't know exactly what's next. All we can really do is achieve the things we can achieve and hope for the best. That's literally all there is. Ive unfortunately been forced to scale down my expectations for life. I mean there’s nothing wrong with being realistic. I feel it’s more grounding. I’m trying to learn how to enjoy the simple things in life, fully. Period. Simple as that. Am I disappointed, absolutely. Is there anything that I can do to change that. Definitely not . Period . There it is. The truth. Moving on. Life is shockingly disrespectful when it wants to be. Life will GET YOU TOGETHER. And dare you to say something about it. I’m learning about gratitude and mindfulness. Sometimes I get it. And sometimes I think of just deleting the #WakingUpApp it really just depends on the day of the week. On the up side I’ve developed a relatively simple Philosophy when it comes to #smokingweed. Smoke one bowl at a time. That’s it, simple as that. I still feel disappointed that I had to start back smoking but as #Granddad On #TheBoondocks always said. “tough titties...” and my favorite one liner of all time “Nigga.Hush.” With They’re essentially being a new popular drug every couple of months I’m grateful just to like weed and be OK with that. Like millions of Americans I use drugs to assist me in the process of healing from trauma. As I’ve said it before when your birth essentially wasn’t planned there are definitive barriers and challenges that are bound to occur. That’s just life. As we know, as I know, if I know anything at all....for some people life is harder. It depends on a number of mitigating factors. I’m going to try to get outside today. Fresh air is a good thing. I have to literally put that on post it notes in my room like on #BeingMaryJane I think that I’m just going to become A reclusive gentleman of #leisure Who can remember assisting with a production Of one of K Michelle’s music videos only to switch to a day job of social media management for a gay porn production company. Man life used to be fun. And then not so much. #Shade One day it will all makes sense... One can only hope. I really hope the these posts on the #LogBook culminate into something substantial so I can not feel so damn defeated. It was a definite sticky situation and overall you ended up with some level of impairment but in the grand scheme of things a relatively minor limitation and that’s a blessing for real. This had been some mind blowing life altering shit. (#VideoClip #LivingSingle #KhadijahJames #QueenLatifah when you try to convince yourself something that you know is not true.) Day #002.1 #Logbook : This is a really strange time to be alive. You don’t even have to just watch a lot of news to know that there’s a lot of shit happening every day. It’s low key depressing to be completely honest and #100 about it. That’s just how it is now. COVID-19 totally changed how the world works. The anxiety and the violence in the streets. I worry about this world. I honestly do. It’s like there are no real limits anymore. I can only imagine what’s to come. I always watch world news because we live in a really big planet and there’s a lot going on everywhere. I used to enjoy watching world news and get a kick out of it kind of. but my life has changed the world has changed right along with it. To say there’s a lot of shit is going on in the world is a significant understatement.#002.2#Logbook I honestly need to find a new purpose . Before the unfortunate events of #2017 my life was very very fulfilling. I was fully engaged and everything that I was doing and I love that feeling. I am literally the antithesis of that person now. And I’m coming to peace with that one day at a time. But what exactly do I do rig
