Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.
May 31, 2012
Complaining is stupid. Either act or forget.

one-mic:

Homies get the one-arm hugs. Homegirls get the tight, quick hugs (both arms). Significant others get the extended Homegirl hugs.

A woman’s loyalty is tested when her man has nothing. A man’s loyalty is tested when he has everything.

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.

In this photograph, Coretta is upset with her husband, who had been attacked the night before by a disturbed white racist but had not defended himself. Though the police urged King to press charges, he refused. “The system we live under creates people such as this youth,” he said. “I’m not interested in pressing charges. I’m interested in changing the kind of system that produces such men.”

Splitscreen: A Love Story”

A short film, shot entirely with the camera on the Nokia N8 cell phone, once again telling all the bops with their $1000 DSLRs, “Up yours.”

Xscape | Who Can I Run To

As I stand here contemplating,
On the right thing to decide.
Will I take the wrong direction,
All my life, where will I go,
What lies ahead of me?

I have strong determination,
And I’m not afraid of change.
I have yet to find that someone,
Who would care to satisfy me,
To stay right by me.

I love them. Nathan & Haley <3
