Arts & Humanities - 9 May 2007

I'm in college and when I first entered, I was overly nice and most people around me liked me. I was too sensitive. It's been a few semesters and I've learned that people can be cold and cruel for no reason. At first, I was about to drop out of college because it greatly affected my mental health, but now I've made a decision. Don't be nice to the people who you don't trust even if you are going to be working with them for a few more years. People say that I have greatly changed and that I have become a Biitch. So what? That's the only way peoples opinions won't get to me. I didn't come to college to waste my time with cold heartless people, but to get my degree. If I'm nice and I let people in, I know I will get hurt. It's too much for me to handle. My problem is that I have created this wall and my loved ones are hurt by it.

Good Morning

Good morning, daddy!
I was born here, he said,
watched Harlem grow
until colored folks spread
from river to river
across the middle of Manhattan
out of Penn Station
dark tenth of a nation,
planes from Puerto Rico,
and holds of boats, chico,
up from Cuba Haiti Jamaica,
in buses marked New York
from Georgia Florida Louisiana
to Harlem Brooklyn the Bronx
but most of all to Harlem
dusky sash across Manhattan
I’ve seen them come dark
wondering
wide-eyed
dreaming
out of Penn Station—
but the trains are late.
The gates open—
Yet there’re bars at each gate.

What happens
to a dream deferred?

Daddy, ain’t you heard?

-Langston Hughes

How many people cling to a belief in God because they couldn't survive the inhumanity of this society/culture
without having something greater to grab hold of just to make it through another day?

If they thanked you for what you did for them because they did not know something important that you told them and they were eventually glad that you did, even if they argued with you about it to begin with, if they eventually told you thank you and that you were a hero to them would you appreciate that? Would that make you feel good?

This man's family tree is well documented in the US but nobody has figured out where he came from. No one is sure how old he was when he came to the US on the Bona Nova in 1618. There is no record of a wife but we know he had at least two sons Rumor is he was from Kent. Does anybody have a resource to check military records that far back in England?

which religion or pilosophical ideology best suits my beliefs:

Everything happens for a reason or many reasons though the reason is not usually obvious and may never be known. Events occur because they are meant to.

I believe in some sort of spiritual force, but I am not sure what. Maybe it is something within nature ie the trees and Earth. Maybe God.

I do not think humans really have superiority to animals. I am very much against cruelty to animals. I am also for the protection of the environment.

I do not believe the Bible or Holy Qu'ran is true. They are just a collection of stories that have been distorted over time and passed on by word of mouth before being written down.

I believe in some supernatural events that are unexplained and it really makes me think and wonder.

Humans created the modern organized religions. They wanted an explanation to things they did not understand.

i might add some more later... ask me questions if you want to know more about somethign specific

From what I understand,...it is where you take to complimentary colors and make them exactly the same value.

Just to expand,.....say you take orange and blue. Complimentaries right? Ever notice that orange is the lighter color of the pare? When you darken the orange to the exact same darkness as the blue it increases the vibration of the compliments extremely, apart from just using the normal compliments. (I hope this makes sense)
I'm not talking about intensity but value.

Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone painted complimentary colors in this manner? Have you?... I wish to know more about it.

Has anyone heard of this







Afterwards, when you place them side by side, you get alot more illumination or vibration.

Is it a crime to be bored
is it a sin to lust after girlfriend
in the middle of the afternoon on friday
is it wrong as A-l on fish to get good
and drunk after the middle of a lovely day
when you are bored with the dog
the computer and 316 channels on the tv

Y'all know 8 pm is the best time to watch
and after that raid the pantry
before it's time to sink into the pillow
think of nothing

at 2 pm there is nothing
i wanna see but my woman
coming after me
or another cup of java
and to hear the 1969
speaker blaster Almost Cut My Hair

where were we? well I was twelve
and I had to cut my hair

Today it is so pretty outside
I am prepared to wait until night before
I go completely headfirst.

I disagree. I rather thtink that Athos should get the credit! I mean if it weren't for him (with the help of the executioner of Lisle), he and his friends wouldn't be able to put an end to Milady's deeds, right? Well, just my opinion.
