how many people realize that they give power to the things and people around them. The perceived importance or truth in anything is what you surrender too it. Reason why many people buy expensive things is because they are surrendering themselves to the idea that this product will give them some form of status. Some people hold others in such high regard because they can’t hold themselves to that standard. Others believe anything a poll says. Then they may change their minds because a lot of people fear failure. “Men lie, Women lie, numbers don’t”, but lets not forget that men and women are the same people that publish those numbers. What I’m trying to say is in life remember how you feel and stand about something before you inquire how the masses feel.
The way the story used to go is a man walks down the dark and dusty road unsure of his destination and finds himself at a fork in the road. Will he go left or right?
Modern Version: (Man/Woman/Transgender/Asexual) (walks/run/skips/drives/ride) the (bright/dark/properly lit) and (clean/disgusting/dirty/dusty/bloody) (road/street/highway/alley/border) unsure of (his/her/it’s) destination and finds (himself/herself/ it’s-self) at a (fork/intersection) in the (road/street/highway/alley/border). Will (he/she/it) go (left/right/side-to-side/up/down/neutral)?
Look at the change…
that means I’ll take the opportunities that appear in my range (that would be my eyes and ears ladies and gentleman). I write poetry, I’m a member of BC Slam Poetry Team and it’s been a blessing to slam and be with my teammates. I’m a photographer shoot for the school I go to and I’ll say I’m pretty darn good. I also co-host a radio show with one of my friends. I’m a freshman at my school on top of that so it’s all a blessing. I’m writing this because I have yet to fully utilize this tool (tumblr) for all it can be used for, if you want to work with me, collab, critique or even talk message me and we can see what can be done. Peace and blessings for you and yours.

The Mythic Being; I/You (Her)
Adrian Piper
During the 1970s, performance artist Adrian Piper costumed herself in an Afro wig and fake mustache to portray the stereotype of an African American man as a mugger. Her experiences prowling the streets simultaneously critiqued these stereotypes as well as acknowledged their power in society.
