Didn't make it to Drexel.
Working. Writing. Sleeping. Praying.
Pressed the re-set button on LIFE...

Think about it. part 2?
So I'm on the web, looking up stuff, random stuff and I run across a list of indie films to see. Peeked my interest so I checked out the first page. And say no black faces as leads.
Now, don't get me wrong, and I have been chastised by my friends for this so many times, but I'm sick of all white "indie" flicks.
I love "Indie" flicks. Full of dirty shoes, vintage band tees and old school references. But can i please,please,please, get some with a couple black faces, puh-leaze!
It would make my life if Nick was black in Nick and Nora's infinite Playlist.
Or even if Juno was black. Like seriously, but than the media would make it a completely different film.
Idk, just a random rant on what i want to see.
That's why i started writing poetry, I couldn't find enough about what i wanted to hear about. Eh. Maybe I need to be the change I want to see, in the world of media.

Think About It.
So that link led me to a great post on "image". Things we think make us who we are, but really just make up the way we look.
And at first I was all like "yeah, fuck images!!"
But than I thought about it, images make our world go round.
Hmmm...interesting. But the funny part is, I don't even know what my image would be. Or look like. I think that's what I'm tryna make now. I think I'm confused.

Help to figure things out, and keep people in boxes, where they make more sense and are easier to control.

Sometimes.
(This was insprired by Sandra Cisneros)
Sometimes you have to wait.
Like your sitting on a bus stop
On the hottest day of the year and the trash can next to the bench is full and the flys are out and the bees are stinging and the fiends are hanging and the beggars are begging, and on top of all that your late for work.
Sometimes you have to wait.
Like all your friends are eighteen but you don't turn 18 till the end of the year, and your to mature to party with anyone your age or younger, and your too scared to use a fake Id, and you always have money, and the friend that was the same age as you can use her sisters Id, and most of the time you are all dressed up with no where to go.
Sometimes you have to wait
Like when you get accepted into a good college,and you think you can, but you really can't afford it. And your fasfa appeal falls through, and all your friends are already in school, and you thought you were set, and you don't apply to any other school because your set, you know? And you get denied for a loan, and you miss late registration for all the other places, so your stuck, and your working at mcdonalds till next semester.
Sometimes I hate waiting.
