Prayer by Henry David Thoreau

Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.

And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.

That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

I enjoyed him walking into traffic especially knowing that it wasn't a closed set. What i really like about the song is that i feel alot of people can relate to it. Especially if your at a pivotal moment in whatever it is your pursuing.I have to also say that the song was beautifully named.

Sorry if im a bit confusing
just know that im winning even if im losing
but I fucked up
theres no question i flipped cup
tabled cards for no reason
lifes boredom got me feenin
screamin weed leanin
seams seemin heart healin
Shit happens
and happens
wings flappin
no mappin
see slacking
send me packing
mind hacking
wack rapping
back stabbing
hat grabbin
holy shit this is a bit off
dont like it your loss
like being fired from a boss
ya ass in toss no money for rent
im the messenger who never got sent
the one most sinful who cant repent
now get them ears bent dumbo
eat up u souped cats like gumbo
dont get strung tho leave it up to a guitar
dont get sticky like snakes and jafar
a whole new word with a carpet no car
yelling to these savages roaring a rawr
one day ill be queen but not wat u think
im just an iceberg on the tip of the sink
playing my ocarina like link with a sphinx passing time

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD REVIEWS ERYKAH BADU’S “WINDOW SEAT” VIDEO

Written by Love Isn’t Enough guest contributor Super Hussy; originally posted at SuperHussy

After viewing the web release of Erykah Badu’s video for the song “Window Seat”, I wanted to sit down and write something an write something amazingly poignant, but could not. It was something I had to sit with for a bit, as the video and song directly addresses some things I am working with/on right now…freedom, self-love, authenticity, appropriation, etc. and prompted a visceral reaction, including tears. Besides, after reading this piece, this piece, and this piece, I no longer felt the need to say much of anything, that is until I begin reading my Twitter timeline.

Folks were tweeting and re-tweeting everything from comments about Badu’s posterior, to her co-opting a Matt and Kim video (who, by the way, she says the piece is inspired by and white folks naked bodies on public display have a whole different meaning than a black woman who shows her with intent and a message.)

What inspired this post was a tweet I read that went something like “how would you feel if her cooch was in your child’s face for art sake” or something close to that. So I sat down with my “assistant” TH, clicked on the ankh, watched and asked questions as we went along.

SH: What do you think of this?

TH: I like the music. Is it jazz? I like jazz.

SH: There are parts of it that have jazz.

TH: She was driving a big car.

SH: I know. What do you think of her, the lady walking?

TH: I think she is pretty. She is beautiful, perfect.

SH: Why do you think that?

TH: She just is. It’s sunny in the movie. It’s raining outside.

SH: Yes, I know it’s raining. What is she doing now?

TH: She’s walking down the street. Is that her singing?

SH: Yes, that is her singing.

TH: I like her voice. It is like mine.

SH: OK, yeah. She does have a nice voice. What’s happening now.

TH: She’s taking off er clothes. It’s probably hot.

SH: Hmm, well what do you think about that?

TH: I like it when it’s hot.

SH: What do you think about her taking off her clothes?

TH: It’s OK. Sometimes you need to take off your clothes. I like to take my clothes off.

SH: You do? How does it make you feel?

TH: I feel free. I like being naked.

SH: How do you think she feels?

TH: She feels naked and cool and free.

SH: But she is naked outside.

TH: That’s OK. It’s just her body. I have a body. Daddy has a body. You have a body and boobies.

SH: Yes, we all have bodies and mommy has boobies.

TH: That’s why it is OK. We all have one. We are all peoples (not a typo, she said “peoples”).

SH: Yes, we are all people.

TH: Mommy, she has boobies too.

SH: Yes, Erykah Badu has boobies too. So it is OK to show your boobies outside?

TH: Yes, but only if you want to because they are yours. Oh mommy, she fell down!

SH: Yes she did. She was shot.

TH: Why?

SH: Why do you think?

TH: Because she was naked and cool and free?

SH: Maybe.

This young girl stopped me on bline to tell me how much she loved my music. I was in shock but most of all proud to know that the younger generation is listening to my stuff and diggin it. Thank you Amanda for being a supporter of PG. Its highly appreciated

So Sorry

We're so helpless
We're slaves to our impulses
We're afraid of our emotions
No one, knows where the shore is
We're divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
The answer it isn't for us
No the answer isn't for us

Tricky- Pumpkin ft Alison Goldfrapp & Goldfrapp - Alive

Speaking of Goldfrapp i listened to the Goldfrapp album Head First today and i dont care about ya i enjoyed the light synths and 80s feel ...ive heard comments surrounding the album being too aimed at showing that because of the sudden popularity in such sounds, but i on the other hand enjoyed it because it all felt natural. Although i will say I prob do prefer the darker side of Goldfrapp  but then again theres two sides to every story =]

FANTASTIC FOUR IN : ATAQUE DEL M.O.D.O.K.! #1 ARTWORK BY JUAN DOE

"Oh yeah... here it is. The final installment of the Fantastic Four in Puerto Rico books. This time Marvel's first family travels to Ponce to battle a couple of seasoned villainous luminaries, Dragon Man and M.O.D.O.K., are you kidding me?!? Throw in mutant monkeys, an original Puerto Rican superhero (El Vejigante) and you have got yourself a gumbo of goodness. Story spawned from the eclectic and adorable mind of Tom Beland, illustrated by lil' ole' me, your friendly neighborhood Juan Doe. Look for it this summer—June 3rd. It'll be bigger than Iron Man 2" - Juan Doe
