she is going to kill me when she finds out i posted this

but i will keep her name anonymous...


"I love "Monsoon wedding. Lately I'm contemplating an arranged marriage as a
viable option. Wait, hear me out. According to Bell Hooks, a person doesn't
"fall in love." It's an action that involves nurturing another's spiritual
growth. I think with the right matchmaker, that might be possible. It's all
about proper screening."

i can't believe that it has been almost two months since the studfinder show. things have been rolling since then. i have done group shows here and there, have been live painting at multiple venues, even taught an art afterschool program for kids.



things are rolling. i can't complain. i do pray for each day a stable flow of work so i have no future financial worries. a day of me not working is not a day off. i have to remember that but what i get out of working on my own, and with clients i believe in and projects i get excited on is beyoooooond words.



i really love my life and i believe i am doing the things i am called to do.



so enough of me yack yacking away, let me show you flicks from the first studfinder show.



studfinder is phloe's own art organization. not only will she be promoting her art but she wants to also produce and curate shows under the studfinder name in case you don't know what a studfinder is, it's a tool that detects where the strong points of a wall are so that you may drill holes and hang art. plus its a word play on how we ourselves were looking for our own studs (male counterparts.)





this picture is taken by my friend, art. so people were not there right when the doors open at 7pm but what do you expect? we were on cp time. but before we go into that,let's go a couple of nights before hand.





so as phloe deligently work, putting the army of dogs together...





i wrote on myself and took pictures of my delerious 3am self





but hey, i have done work. installing art and hanging those paper lanterns was not as easy as one thinks





but once it started, all of my beautiful friends came through...





even the moopie rolled thru. mitzi was kind enough to cater the shindig. her friend who is a chef hooked us up with beautiful organic, vegetarian set up. but if look at the picture in the middle,
the moopie's face is one of distraught as she picked up a candied fruit and placed it in her mouth. she didnt like it and her mom made her finish it.





you can see more of the pics at my gallery by clicking here and here...





you can also check out azul's pics from the night by clicking here. we are on pages 3-5






thank you all who rolled thru. i was an awesome night for us and we look forward to doing more in the future. next show is in august to stay tuned.
i am sitting here, trying to give kennedy love advice while i digest my food so that i can go and work out.

it's been awhile since i updated my blog. this blog was a way to keep my mind active and creative while sitting in a cubicle work environment. an avenue to vent and just talk shit.

but since i work at home, and i am staying creative and active, i rarely come on here to vent. plus, i have been pretty upfont with people so situations where i normally passively complain or admit to and i normally retreat to blog, i have already dealt with it.

"yo, i like you and i am seeing where this is leading to"

"dude, you bug the fuck outta me"

"damn, this part of the job sucks."


plus, if i am not working, i am hustling. hustling in trying to find the next job, the next gig, the next event. my typing are more so reserved for that.

oh, how i miss reading other people's blogs. most of my friends has their responsibilities up-ed at work so they don't blog.

could this be the end of an era?








nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
more soul food morsels your brain can chew on

from a wise spiritual guide/friend

maybe you can benefit from these words. my brain is still trying to wrap around the words and soak in the message.

Lesson #1
"When the Ego distrusts another Ego, where is the
Spirit in the whole situation? Allow the Spirit to
trust based on the knowledge It possesses rather than
allowing the Ego to distrust based on experience--or
the lack thereof."

Lesson #2
"Remember the lessons learned from a trial rather than
focusing on the pain endured. If you make decisions
based on the lessons learned, you make decisions based
on knowledge; if you make decisions based on the
remembrance of pain, you are making decisions based on
fear...the fear of hurting."
