Northsider

I was born on the South Side of Chicago. My Mother and I moved up North at a young age. All of my family remained on the South Side, before they eventually moved out to the suburbs or different cities. While they were there, I frequently visited them, or took trips back and forth on the EL and bus. The "scenery" and people of the South Side was second nature me, as was the North Side. One day while I was living up North, we were riding the school bus on a field trip to the South side. We were on 79th, and we passed a block with vacant lots, strewn with trash, a common sight on the South Side. The White students who sat behind me on the bus remarked about how bad it looked. It dawned on me that they were right. 

Science fiction movie idea

 A movie that deals with a dog getting revenge on its owner as the premise. The dog gains incredible psychic powers and is able to speak to its owner via telepathy. The dog will rig the owners home and narrate as the owner gets caught in various set traps. During the narration, the camera will focus on the expression on the dog's eyes with dialogue dubbed over the audio track. 

Freaking Stupid!

 When you're in a social circle and you never pick up on people's passes towards you (or purposely don't respond to it), or never make a pass at anyone else, you often disrupt the group dynamic. Some people tend to think they're entitled to that side of you. They'll talk about you, theorize over you, tell your life story in frustration. They'll do everything but actually engage you or confront you. It's like you become FEARED.

Freaking stupid!

"We're laughing at you"

[😂😂😂😂😂]

When someone laughs at you to let you know that they disagree with you, or to mock you, they're essentially giving their power to you.

"I want to show you how little I care about you by letting YOU know that I'm laughing at you" - Think of the logic of that statement. If one really doesn't care, they'd say nothing and keep it moving. I know I do. 

 Something you've said has evoked an emotional reaction from them,  their soul is screaming out "I'm frustrated and want to be seen". They're coming to you for help. 

Be flattered.

#BlackConsciousness

I like to test myself on the criticisms I make towards others, because everyone's fundamental thinking process stems from the same point, regardless of the variations of the actions that one participates in. 

A deviation in thought for one person may be to eat a donut, knowing doggone well it has more sugar than one needs, for another person, that same thinking pattern may apply to an action such as pulling a trigger.

L.A.

LA is like somebody took a mid-sized city and stretched it out forever, it has about 100 Western Avenue sized streets, and never ending traffic. Much of LA lies on wide, well traveled streets, creating a "pit stop" effect for cities and commerce. Everyone is on there way to somewhere. 

Don't kink shame me!

I thought the footage of a lion licking and gently rubbing a warthog before he casually carried it off in his mouth to eat it was the kinkiest thing I ever saw an animal do, until I saw a vision of a T-Rex trapped behind plexiglass at a "Jurassic World" style amusement park. This T-Rex eyed a visitor, made towards them, then smashed his head against several feet of thick glass, creating a huge thud sound. 

Then it proceeded to lick the glass in a splash of dinosaur saliva.

That did it. I'm done.
