Together

People come together through concept. Things are not done without conception. With innovation and thought comes trend and culture, which groups people under a variety of material objects and values. We all associate ourselves to certain cgroups and cultures an ddefine ourselves through these

Alone

I feel alone sometimes, like people don't understand me. But everyone feels alone at one point or another. it's funny that out of all people in the world, and out of all the people you interact with he only person you trully know is yourself, and sometimes that's not even the case. I heard a stat that people "live" in their head about 98% of the time as opposed to speaking to someone else. That isolation and constant state of self can be beneficil or detrimental. It'd be crazy to see everyones thoughts dreams and fantasies, but I think thats a reason we stay in our head so much, to shield them away from people .

Save the Earth, Do This!

Recycle, thrift, bike, eat less, shorter showers, and saving paper are all good activities and examples of reducing your carbon footprint and becoming a more concious and responsible person. Do your part in helping preserve the Earth and restore damage done to it

Invisible

Many people in highschool make themselves invisible by putting on projections or masks. Most people do this because they're uncomfortable with themselves and self concious

A Book To Read

A good book to read would be Black Boy by Richard Wright. It's one of the best books I've ever read, and it's prominence culturally and socially makes it one of the best books in American literature. It has many similarities to the book Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison in the experiences in the book, and how it depicts blcks at that time period. (1930's-1940's)

Art Review

Hebru Brantley is a artist from Chicago's South Side who has a new gallery up in Seattle (intresting city) called "Lions Disguised As Lambs". Hebru does walls, illustrations, and paintings and is widely coveted for his ranges in style and skill, and implementing his ethnic roots in his works. Several of his wall pieces are up at the store Leaders, I've had the oppurtunity to see them multiple times. A lot of his drawings are inspired by Japanese techniques such as magma. There is substance in mostly all of his works, dealing with race, culture, and value. His range of talent is unparallel to the majority of artists I've experienced. He had a gallery at the Zhou. B Art Gallery previously dubbed "Afro Futurism (Impossible View)" . Check him out, support local artists, ecspecially ones that are good.

We Have The Right

We have the right to demand a more transparent and open government in most instances. We have a right as consumers to know everything about what we eat. We have  the right to a open organ market, to several things that would run on and on if continued. There needs to be a Sean Bell street in every major city in America for police brutality awareness and to commemerate a loved one. Police should only patrol areas they live(d) in. There should be a anti-FBI month every year to look at travesties comitted. If there's a war there should be a requirement for the amount of elected officals family going to the war. etc
