Fuck the Bullshit
I had such a lovely day yesterday and I was happy not thinking about stupid shit. Maybe the marijuana helped. Woke up today and all the thoughts I’d been pushing to the back of my head came to the surface. I cried. But, fuck it. The sun is shining and I don’t feel hopeless. I feel cleansed.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

Companion
I attended Peace and Dignity Journeys documentary and presentation in commemoration of the 1994 uprising of the EZLN and Indigenous People the other day. It was a really dope event. I took a lot from it that I plan on applying to my everyday life. Oscar, who organized the event, gave a brief yet powerful speech. One of the things he said that stood a lot to me was how he lovingly referred to his...
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Was a success at the WorldBeat even though it was pouring rain all day. The turnout of people who showed up was good. Performances were on point. I have a couple of videos that I will upload soon. It was a great day overall. I was super tired by the end but my spirit felt good. Hope everyone had a lovely day and enjoyed it like I did.

Kababaihan: Conversations with Women Community...
I’m at work and they’re screening this multimedia documentary.

Kababaihan, meaning amongst the...

Attraction
Ideally most people want to date someone who’s similar to them. Personality wise, likes the same stuff, shares the same hobbies, etc. I can understand that. But, isn’t that a bit narcissistic? I’ve been thinking, as awesome as I think I am… I have a lot of bad habits that I’d rather not deal with in someone I’m dating. I can be a piece of shit sometimes. Would I...
