I'm not deep into politics or world affairs. I once was, but I stopped caring because I am in no position to fix things... I don't want to be a "web based revolutionary" but this whole deal with Libya has sort of sparked my interest...

Obsession

2011-08-21T14:44:00.001-07:00

We all have things that consume us, we all have fallen prey to obsessions in our life time...

I feel inspired by that...

That step beyond desire, beyond desperation... The step into obsession. When it consumes you..

Letter to Detroit.

2011-01-29T11:09:00.001-08:00

Mayor Bing... I think we should talk. Bring that weak ass city council with you.
62. That's the number of students expected to be in one classroom by 2012.
50. That's the percentage of schools expected to be closed by the end of this year.
0. That's the number that we were told would be "left behind".
100. The percentage of support the city of Detroit needs to put forth for our students and education system.
We spoke about this last week, it hasn't changed. Let's fix it. http://tinyurl.com/6j2x4uj
More money is poured in to war, fighting ,violence, & our alleged "protection" instead of education, when our education IS our protection. If you don't have children now, you will have them eventually or a niece or a nephew, they will have to go to school, is this what you want a school system that crams 62 students in one room to learn? That's remedial...Not all of us will be able to afford private schools or home schooling, and even if so, that's evading the problem, there is a solution. So let's apply it to the issue. #Detroit we can better our education system, we shouldn't have to send our children to suburban schools! The desire for Detroits educational system to improve, should be impetus! Think about this... For instance, with education comes class (no pun intended) the crime rate would drop substantially. Our work force would increase. With the proper education the youth will have the knowledge to "create" jobs in a positive way, innovation will occur, starting a business will not be limited to a boutique, a sneaker shop and a fried wing shack etc. Our youth will know more than what television tells them they are... if our educational system is revamped. Budget cuts are not the answer! So, I ask you. When we have the meeting of the mines, what explosive solution will we take down to city hall? Education is the solution to every issue we have as a city, state, region, country & planet. Education should never see a budget cut. How about you cut the budget on funding a war that isn't even a war. I want us to come together, the same way we used to when we found things unjust in the 60s & 70s let's Revolt, let's Love again Detroit.

open letter to President Mubarak

2011-01-28T19:54:00.001-08:00

Dear,
Hosni Mubarak

I regret to inform you that you are disgusting in my eyes to say the least, I not only deem you worthy of Hitler's crown and belt, but you are less than a coward. You were choosen as a public official sir, your actions are less than gentleman like, excuse me let me rephrase myself your actions are less than humane, they are primitive. You cannot strip human beings of their right to live. You cannot take someone's form of communication. You cannot use the very military formed to protect your people to instill fear into them. You're a coward. You run in fear from your responsibility as a leader, as a gentleman, as human being, as a being of God. I demand more of you, I demand more of you because I demand more of myself and as a world leader you should strive for nobility, honor and righteousness. You are to set the example, you are to set the pace of what your people do, but look and the fruits of your labor sir. All I see is turmoil, uproar destruction anarchy and revolt... I suppose Gil Scott Heros was correct, the revolution will not be televised. It can't be. Not with crooked political leaders disabling an entire digital network in which the masses depend on for all forms of communication. But none the less the revolution will occur, and you sir will be the guinea pig. The metaphorical lab rat, running a maze in search for cheese, only to find crumbs. Step down brother, if you have any decency left in your spirits step down, let the people be liberated. Restore peace to Egypt.

Excerpt from The finale Act of "unDEATHable" Issue One.

2011-01-24T18:57:00.001-08:00

"Going into their truck and grabbing the Gatling gun, “Everyone remain calm and return to your homes”, the S.W.A.T team leader pleads. I am done being civil with these insects. Lead rains from the multiple barrels of the weapon, flesh tearing and ripping, airing these insolent vagabonds out and shredding them to pieces. My weapon of choice as loud as my helicopter was. My shells trickling on the pavement. Screams of women and men alike begging for mercy that they will never receive and calling to a GOD they’d never seen and who had never saved them before... Why would He do it now? The sound of a sweet Massacre unrivaled by any composer, Ludwig is probably spinning is his grave. Then it ends. my ammo depleted, a few broken bodies remain, others have fled. Dropping the gun and turning to the S.W.A.T team leader and saying to him, “Now you can use your tear gas”..."

2011-01-24T17:04:00.001-08:00

An artist or creators' work is never done, my lack of focus has put me into a whirlwind of mental mecuriality... none the less I've come to my senses, I've been too much energy into just giving the people what they want or only making what I want... I've discovered a happy medium... ironic now that I think about it... artists use mediums to create... that's a different thought for another posting though... back to creating.
