Painting Verbal Pictures

The Blah Blah Blahs from my heart!

WATCH!!!!

Almost...

The end of my first semester of grad school is approaching. I have 1 class left this week and one next week. I feel so attuned to people and a deepening connection to humanity…and that’s how I know I go to CIIS in San Francisco. It really is a beautiful/scary/intense/sometimes angry process. The challenge lies in integrating new Marissa with old Marissa, especially when I go back home. I already semi-noticed subtle changes when I went back to Aurora for Thanksgiving.

Abrupt change of subj.

My aunt is my friend on facebook and I guess she’s really into English, French, Irish and Italian men. She goes on a bunch of dates every week with these guys she meets online. Her profile pics all consist of her sticking her boobs out. She has all those “Naughty” facebook apps. (did i just write that…i did). I also think she gets down on cam for them…which is fine…I’m all about letting your freak flag fly…but these are things about my aunt that I didn’t need to know.

Why She’s Hot:

Her hair. Who would not want to run their fingers through that mane of hers is insane. Whether she has it is long, short, curly like it usually is or when she dares to wear it straight, its all your hands are attracted too.
Her intelligence. Its not all just looks for her, she went to Yale for English and she sure does use it to her advantage, plus she knows sign language. Beauty and brains all in one, could you ask for more?
Her body. She’s an avid runner and has the muscles to prove it. Her body could make butter melt, it’s so hot.
Her ability to play a lesbian and make you think she really was one. After seeing her kiss Tina for the first time, everyone prayed that night to see if they would have a chance to get with her. Sorry ladies, she’s happily married. It doesn’t hurt however, to watch her for six seasons getting it on with every woman possible, and being a really big cheater. As long as we had the chance to watch her everything was all good.
Her smile, laugh and voice. Those gorgeous pearly whites, with a laugh that makes your knees go weak.

Beyonce is heading to the City of Sin! Hate it or love the songstress has signed multI-million dollar deal with Wynn Resorts to do multiple shows at $750K a pop! No debut date as of yet. Though sometimes over shadowed by her cash cow of a husband, Beyonce makes mad money and yet spends very little of it. This latest piece of money making news makes me wonder exactly what it is she’s investing in?! There is no doubt that the Carter/Knowles children won’t suffer from the lack of inherited wealth in the Black community. Hopefully one day we’ll account for more than 3% of the worlds wealth, it would help if Tiger wasn’t giving away his money like Halloween candy right now.

How I Know I'm A Student At CIIS in San Francisco

The title of my final paper for human development is Sunrise/Sunset: Making Peace with the Paradoxes in Midlife Transition.

We don’t think you fight fire with fire; we think you fight fire with water. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re still here to say we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution Fred Hampton

Time

Tuesday I performed a self-revelatory performance for my class. It’s basically turning your pain or current issues you are dealing with into art…a theaterical performance. It was a really beautiful day since everyone in class shared the same way. At the beginning of the year the professor told us to focus on what is present for us. I had nothing. But as the semester progresses various things would come up for me, things I would call the “past.” Now after performing I’m questioning the concept of past and present. Thinking of those moments that influenced the way I talk, move and interact with people. The way I walk relives those moments everyday. The way I speak or don’t speak relives those moments. So is it really the past if I carry it with me everyday and it continuously informs who I am?  I don’t know.

Also listening to the Feist playlist on Pandora makes me want to drink, it’s only 10am and I have a ton of papers to do so I’ll hold off on the sauce.
