Moisture sits in drops of water
Allowing the skin to warm up
To the water’s strength
Buzz is the layers of atoms
Mixed with hydrogen and oxygen
Candy-like with its sugar high
The skin ripples into a complicated design
Only the finest eye can see the discovery
Of a maze into the deepest of the deep
The black hole that sits in the bottomless pit
Where flowers bloom miraculously
The scent of potpourri fills its air
Allowing the liquid to evaporate happily
In the atmosphere of darkness
The wideness and vastness of freedom is there
Free’s kingdom and queendom
Would you like us to go now?
Inspired by the song, Cosmic Journey by Solange featuring Bilal

See Thru
Strange, that’s me.
In everything internally.
You can’t see through
the side glances of me.
Medley of melodic suites
Intrigue the senses of me.
Behind the lenses bend thee
Sing sweetly to see through me.

Kanye West on Homophobia.
Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say ‘fag’ right in front of a gay dude’s face and act like that’s ok. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supppoed to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the intuitions that I was sayin’, the stereotypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don’t believe in what I believe in, acceptin’ people for who they are…they’re very talented and if they do something special in the world and they’re discriminated. I’ve flown across the world y’all, and I’ve come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life…
Thank you, Mr. Kanye West for being fearless with such a touchy topic in the Hip Hop as well as the Black community. You are appreciated.

I was just watching random videos of Martin Lawrence’s stand up comedy and came across these two scenes from the movie, Bad Boys 2. I just had to post them. It’s just something funny to watch. I can’t wait when the third part comes out.

Study on a Premonition
The internal silence is deafening
It seeps into the universe
A micro atom becomes a detailed description
Air is uncomfortable
Nerves go rapidly
Faster and faster
Until tears begin to form
