poem by the homie RIP!


She deserved to be kissed.
Held.
Made love to.
But her hearts on the floor.
Next to her shirt.
And her underwear.

She's my friend.
Together we are.
Two fallen Angels.
Tip-toe-ing our way through God's back door.
Hiding out in Heaven.
For this moment.
- RIPMC

LOVE this poem. It really is a reflection of the chaos which is my current love life. Oddly enough im content.

lets try: writing haikus!















The deafening blow
Eerily fell upon me
An epic knockout

You know whats constant
The defeat of enemies
They fall silently

My song sounds like breeze
Tastes tough like earthly gravel
Come have a listen

The scent of hot sex
Laced with a hint of red wine
Enter my bedroom

Paint me in bright hughes
Paint me in technicolor
Great, now tear me down

When I first tried one it took me awhile. Then after that all the ideas started to flow. They came so fast that I didnt have a chance to get them all down. I like this style. Sitting in on Leigh's class actually lead to me learning to appreciate them. She also sparked the idea of combining a bunch and transforming them into stanzas in a poem. This is just the beginning. there is more to come!

JR street artist and TED PRIZE winner




i just loved this. i would want to do this! i first came across him reading GOOD magazine(a magazine for people who give a damn), the article was cool but when i stubled upon him just surfing google images i found out just how much of a hero he is. im just so amazed at how he impacted so many folks and traveled and that the communities embraced him. and the whole conflict with the middle east. im sure he is using his art to spread awareness that they shouldnt hate eachother. BRAVO

the kiosk






the kiosk is a little hole in the wall joint on spring street. lots of very edgy spay paint art going on in the hallways. not the obnoxious kind (like something cool done by an artist) when i walked by i thought it was a club of some sort. i asked a neighbor and she encouraged me to check it out. it is a store. a girl goes traveling and brings things back for the different countries shes been to. she sets it up like an exhibition. classifying each collection by country. the assortment ranged from candy to cooking utensils. they were everyday items that looked exotic and foreign in some way. i may return and purchase some of the funky little nicknacks.

pinkberry, my new happy food : )





i went to a pinkberry for the first time today! it was a bright colorful chic little spot. they sell nothing but frozen yogurt. i would compare to jamba juice prices(another spot i just love) after checking out my favorite art gallery, i stopped in. i tried the small original. it comes with your choice of toppings(as long as it fits in the cup). i chose peices of mango, pineapple, kiwi, raspberries and some honey. it was delish!

helmut newton is my new love!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, i went to the MOMA museum of design today and i just couldnt walk past this book. it is his latest, entitled Sumo. it was huge and it was heavy! it was fanFUCKINGtastic. i came upon it once before at stand bookstore on 14th street. i was rushing and didn't have much time to look through it. but today i did. it was the most intriguing collection of dressed and nude photos i've ever seen. all the work was so cohesive. many of the works were in black and white and each photo expressed a tasteful sexiness. take a look...
