By Your Side

And it’s nearly midnight and all I want is to be your housewife, is to die your housewife.

Hey Now

At first, I thought this was blackstreet singing, and I was like, hey they sound like they’re white, and I was all confused but then I looked up the youtube vid and I realized it was the BACKSTREET BOYS.  Whatever, I love the song, and when i was 8 the Backstreet Boys were the shit.  Then they started to suck, but now that I go back to their music I realize that they really were the shit back then.

I’m still in shock though.  I don’t remember them ever being this good.  Obviously I appreciate music in a totally different way now than I did from when I was young, but damn.

So this guy was like model’s bodies arn’t womanly, they’re androgynous.  And a lightbull kind of clicked, I kinda already knew that but something clicked still, anyway.  Those arn’t women’s bodies, but hey I still kind of want to look like that.

So I’m never going to have the height.  Whatever, being five foot almost six is the shit, but I can still have the super angular androgynous sexy body.  Or I can just stay the way I am.

Which is better? This?

Or this?

Lol, so I know everything is all about preference.  Some prefer skinny, and some prefer full, and some people just see beauty and don’t really equate beauty with a certain body type.

Photo

So I usually think that I’m a bad photographer and that my pictures suck but now I’ve realized that not every contact sheet is going to be gold and I finally understand why my teacher tells us to take a camera with us everywhere.  If we’re serious, at least.  Also, it helps to have the right gear.  Like I finally got (borrowed) this big ass flash which is a huge help in places where there isn’t enough light.  Holy fuck, it’s beautiful man.  And also having a tripod is a must.  But it sucks carrying that shit around.  Anyway, as far as photography goes I found this guy who has traveled to all 192 countries in the world and taken pictures there.  That’s pretty fucking awesome.  And while looking at his work, I realized that I can take those picture, I already have taken pictures like that.  So that makes me happier.  Especially since he went to Liberia, which I still can’t help but think that Liberia is one of those countries that no one has ever heard of.  And sometimes that’s true, but at other times I’ve been surprised by people who are like, “yeah, of course I know about Liberia, why wouldn’t I?”

It won’t let me insert photos, but this pic is just about perfect.

Friends Forever

Summer camp is shit.  Or any sleep away trips that you go with a group of people who you’re not really friends with and who all expect that at the end everyone will have bonded and forged a friendship to last forever.  What, bull.

Damali is…

Loving the fuck out of this song

Oh Happy Day

I went to the diversity thingy today and it was pretty fucking awesome.  More people from my school need to do stuff like that.  They’re fun as hell.  People are so close-minded at my school, and by close-minded I mean they always think they’re right and that they have nothing to learn.

I saw this guy again who i had met in New orleans.  I love him it was nice to see him again.  And I met some new people and saw some old people and hung with my Dad so all in all, a good day.  Uhhhhh everytime I try to share my music with someone I end up having to defend it.  “You only listen to black music, Damali.”  BItch, you only listen to white music.  Or lets be real, majority of people I find on your ipod will probably be white.  So why you calling me out just cuz I likes my hip hop and r&b and oldies.  And trying to put me in abox when I love all types of artists from all over the fucking world, and how you gonna make the assumption that just because something sounds like hip hop or whatever it was created by a black artists.

People are so fucking ignorant, sometimes.  I don’t say anything about the shit you listen to.

Here’s some black music cuz I’m feeling pissed thinking about wat happened now. Hell yeah I love my black artists.  POWER TO BLACK PEOPLE.

And here’s shit from a white artist that sounds black for all the dumb asses who think anything that sounds like this must be “black” music.  The stuff I listen to is good music.  Techno shit is not music.

Minorities

I really dislike being called a minority.  I don’t understand why we lump whole groups of different people under that name in America, and I really don’t understand why we are called minorities since I don’t think that white people are a more populous group of people than every other group of people, as a whole,  in America.

Fuck square pegs

Sick of trying to fit where I don’t fit.  Why the hell do I do this stuff to myself?

I figured it out

I knew that Norah Jones had to be mixed with a little something, something.  I thought it was black, but it’s Indian.  She’s gorgeous.

Friends

Friends suck like getting your period.  Like feeling guilty after “overeating”.  Like having to catch a bus to school at 6:50.  AM.  Like doing your own laundry and finding out that everyone else’s mother just does it for them.

Friends suck.

I wish I could sing.  I’d be a LaurynHill-NorahJones-JackJohnson-JohnMayer-CorinneBaileyRae-Beyonce-LadyGaga prototype.
