SUBLIME - APRIL 26th 1992

But if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King,
It's bout this fucked up situation and these fucked up police.
It's about coming up and staying on top
and screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop.

EVOLVING

Thank you Erykah and all artists and just individuals in general. Its takes more than glitz and glamor to be heard. The reason so many of us now take initiative and search for something greater withing ourselves is because of people like Erykah. Theres not a day in my life where i dont value self expression. Life taught me about experiences and learning from them but music, music taught me everything else. I am an individual who has bettered herself through song , im not saying i listen to others and embody their essence but more like I listen and feel the message behind the words. We as people possess so much power its almost incomprehensible  yet I say that because i'm a modern day slave. Sold to Sallie Mae and the middle class deep in debt minimum wage lifestyle.

We sign on the dotted line ....we speak about forgotten rhymes......sigh after cry cry after sigh .
Live large ...be broke and wealthy. Listen with your inner ear and look with your hidden telescope. Theres more to life than just living...a man once said. Im not the smartest girl nor the prettiest nor the most talented but I strive for a greater purpose. Im not telling everyone to go out and become radical rebels im just encouraging people to find out who they are and to wake up. If you look at everything EVERYTHING around you music,movies,art,books,toys,logos,etc you begin to notice a common thread, a message. You dont need a fortune cookie to peep ur future. The path is set in stone the moment u acknowledge it. Be positive. Stay alert. But never be afraid. Fear is a man made disease. Keep evolving .

One love Fuckers =]

Enigma - Push the Limits

Basic instincts, social life
Paradoxes side by side

Don't submit to stupid rules
Be yourself and not a fool.
Don't accept average habits
Open your heart and push the limits.

Open your heart
And push the limits

hip hop was fun

this is a pretty dope photo

Look At this

The Moon's current transit of your 12th House of Destiny might increase the tension in your life because the stakes seem so high. Unfortunately, you cannot back out of a game that you started, so it's crucial to be clear about your goals. However, don't be misled into believing that you must win. This is not about coming out on top; it's simply about playing the best you can   ...

Civilization by Marco Brambilla

i saw this on KanYe's Blog and thought it was pretty interesting.

"Civilization, a video mural created for the new Standard hotel in New York City, depicts a journey from hell to heaven interpreted through modern film language using computer-enhanced found footage. This epic video mural contains over 300 individual channels of looped video blended into a multi-layered seamless tableau of interconnecting images that illustrate a contemporary, satirical take on the concepts of Heaven and Hell."

Bloody Beetroots DOMINO EP!

SIR BOB CORNELIUS RIFO

THE NAME "DOMINO" COMES FROM A TYPICAL VENETIAN CARNIVAL COSTUME, A ROBE WITH A BLACK HOOD AND A WHITE MASK. I HAVE CHOSEN THIS TITLE TO INTRODUCE THE FIRST BBDC77 ANARCO-MUSICAL ARMY. 

DOMINO (LIKE XMAS VENDETTA) UNDERSCORES THE CONTENTS OF ROMBORAMA. DOMINO IS PART OF ROMBORAMA... DOMINO IS A SPARE OF ROMBORAMA. DOMINO IS MUSIC, CINEMA & PHOTOGRAPHY. 

DOMINO IS ALSO A REVISION OF HISTORY. DOMINO DESTROYS NAZI ICONOGRAPHY TO TURN INTO ANARCHY... PURE ANARCHY. I LIVE IN THIS WORLD AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN THE AUTONOMY AND FREEDOM OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

MODERNITY IS THE TRANSITORY, THE FUGITIVE, THE CONTINGENT, WHICH MAKE UP ONE HALF OF ART, THE OTHER BEING THE ETERNAL AND THE IMMUTABLE. THIS TRANSITORY FUGITIVE ELEMENT, WHICH IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING MUST NOT BE DESPISED OR NEGLETED.

BlogStyle: This Way

Oh how i yearn for absolute guidance yet the only truth we know lies inside us

My many shades of vibrant glitter across the seams of what it seems

lean and i lean shooting scenes but my movie never  on a screen 

unless its a projector of dreams breaking down the science of sleep

my science ill keep although its filled with zombies and sheeps

broken robots we all are deep deep underneath which is beneath 

grinding my teeth moving my feet its hard to live on streets

where we tumble high and dry living like cycles of laundry 

pondering our existence and our questions camouflage like the army

So what if eye decided to let go and say goodbye

wave my hand uphold the land and tip over sideways

You may ask me why  but its possible that i wont reply

maybe ill be silent like a beautiful days' sky

at least until the birds began to chirp and fly

Keeping my worries in turn makes me lose my brain

so i try to care less while still caring the same

life is love a game with no happiness unless you endure pain 

So brand me crazy before u do fully sane ,I want it this way

North Bergen : Poem By Joel Lewis (House Rent Boogie)

North Bergen by Joel Lewis


A big black Chrysler at dusk
lights a limestone Madonna
with its Halogen headlights
turning the corner
onto Bergenline
where teenagers gather
underneath Chicken Holiday's torn awning
waiting for something to happen
much larger than their brains.


If you are from Hudson County and want to read a book of poems thats inspired by the same sidewalks and streetlights u pass by every day then check out House Rent Boogie by Joel Lewis

Paradox

"Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself."

Organizers are especially proud to be returning to the Brooklyn waterfront as it is being transformed into New York’s premier park space. “We have been fortunate enough to host the Festival along the beautiful Brooklyn coast line since our second year [2006]. When the word came down that our home, Empire Fulton Ferry State Park was being closed for renovation we began to work closely with Regina Meyer and the good people at The Brooklyn Bridge Development Corporation. I am excited that not only are we returning to the Tobacco Warehouse for our Main Day, July 10th but have also added Brooklyn Bridge Plaza and New Dock Street. This increased space will allow us to produce two separate stages as well as build a large marketplace for our vendors.”

DIGITAL MURAL PROJECT ICOBA, The Sniffy Boys Present: Nouveau Americana (zuzu)

All stories begin with a language
A language rooted in the imagination
A place where art is more powerful than hate
A place where even the strange can survive

The word and the image has always held a mystical spell over my interests in the creation of a picture. It was what fostered my entry into the world of art when I began as a fan of comic books and a student of the craft of storytelling. Eventually my explorations led me into the disciplines of painting and poetry, where art is subjected to a much different worldview than that of comic books. In the same instance, our world experienced the greatest advancement of technological breakthroughs any single generation has ever seen.

This led to my concentrations in the field of technology, and to my obsession and attachment to computers and software as a vehicle to drive art to distances never possible in any previous generation. The creation of software applications—such as Photoshop and Illustrator—and the subsequent results brought to fruition by the groundbreaking explorations of these programs by artists over the past 3 decades, has evolved to unveil certain aspects of the mechanics and pro- cesses of our imagination that have revealed fresh and dynamic perspectives about our world. The results bringing us to a juncture where we are witnessing an event horizon of a new medium reaching its stride—the era of the digitally created image.

Originally, the piece on display for the Digital Mural Project was conceived to exist as a graphic painting on canvas. While rearranging it for the digital mural, I realized I would not be constrained by any of the limitations I would encounter by painting the image. There was simply more that I could incorporate by making it strictly digital and it seemed to me that the version I was doing for the mural was far superior in scope and impact than the one I was to paint. This presented a critical observation, if the digital version was more relevant than the painted version then I would simply present the digital version as the final conclusion. The intent being that regardless of where or how the image comes to life, the results are what is most important.

The ICOBA, Sniffy Boys Present: Nouveau Americana image is an ideal example of those re- sults. Executed as a formulation of many disciplines enacted to convey a singular, cohesive and poetic interpretation of a story, all the elements used are derived from the realm of the imagination. Intended ultimately as a message of hope, the piece is a allusion to the world of comics and cartoons, surrealism and abstraction and the simple but edifying nature of poetry. It is a story that can be read or observed, each element employing a collection of ideas come to life by ‘charac- terization’ — anointing the symbols with a personality and meaning beyond what can be seen on the viewing surface. Those who can make the connections will be privy to a deeper meaning, one brought about by an individuals internal system of experiences and interpretations.

Suicide dive bombers
it's a false colored world
one of kings and misfits

bathed in devils blood
now wash your hands girl
you're on the run now
