Happy Birthday, Brother Malcolm

"I Have No Fear Whatsoever of Anybody or Anything"

"Who Taught You To Hate Yourself?"

Some quotes out of many -

"There is nothing better than adversity.
Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed,
its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
-Malcolm X"

"Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change." - Malcolm X

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it." - Malcolm X

"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X

What a GREAT man.

Music & Sketches (I love my daddy)

Music & Rough Sketches Today's activities included my 8th grade violin seeing the light again and some AMAZING rough sketches I found on my dad's night stand. I can't believe he's drawing again! I love it. When I asked him about it, he mentioned he was inspired by this photo.

Meanwhile, I wait for my replacement camera to arrive.

*Tick, tock, tick, tock*

(Note: Click on the photo. Sorry! It cut off. ;-p )

Erykah Badu's Window Seat



It's so important to be an individual. To be yourself. Truly. Erykah...Wow. Completely stripped down, bare for all to see, you've stated loud and clear what we must fight for. I give a standing ovation to the boldness and bravery of this art. Shot guerilla style in 2 minutes, no crew, no actors, and at the same place JFK was assassinated in '63... It's speaking to me on so many levels personally. Leave me questioning a lot of things within, as I continue to search and grow and become who I was truly meant to be.

Get out of the "groupthink" mentality, people. Wake up! Spend time with yourself. Love yourself. Talk to God. Embrace your uniqueness.

Be a leader.

How did you feel watching it?

Hartelijk Bedankt, Eline!

Eline, from the Netherlands, was inspired by my "Mixed" photo and made her version of it in the image pictured below. What an amazing imitation of my art work. The likeness to my style in "Mixed" has been executed to a "T"- from the hand placement, skin and eye colouring, the effort here is fabulous! I'm deeply touched by the act of the photographer and piece of art created here.

Hartelijk Bedankt Eline! Thank you very much in "Dutch"

Feel free to check out more of her pictures here.
