Artist Alex Reyes presents his visual take on Jay Z's constant mention of artists on his latest record, Magna Carter Holy Grail. In his own words Reyes describes, “We get it, you can wipe your ass with hundred dollar bills, but sorry Jay, you’re neither ‘the new Jean-Michel’ or ‘the modern day Pablo Picasso.’ If said artists could return the favor and include you in their work though, it might look something like this.”

Brilliant.

50th Anniversary of the March on Washington



my problems are so small. I will not complain. 

words on a page

the relationship we never had

mutual friends

cool with mom and dad

reminiscing on the past

... because

you

have

a

past

full of memories that last and last.

while your and my tale was never really written

a rough draft

a sequel, with no real beginning

never made it to print

thrown in the "no" pile

all the while

still craving her smile

the one that could never do any wrong

despite all the sins you spoke of

you always were the type to prefer thrillers over romantic comedies

like the romantic comedy,

or thought of you and me

but there was that one time you laughed.

curls, leather and a frat boy photobomb. 

I miss posting musings on here, so here it goes

reminding myself that I don't owe anyone anything

but that's tricky when you have a big heart..

anticipating: rock the bells dc, Janelle Monae at the Lincoln Theatre (tickets go on sale Aug. 23), and planning my next getaway

learning that I'm not always the best when it comes to judging someones character, and that a good heart doesn't necessarily equal good character

we're all at different stages in our lives

... and that's okay.

my nails are the prettiest shade of blue right now.

I'm slightly obsessed with them.

come fall, leather will be like a second skin to me

still hate dating (lol) and don't anticipate that changing anytime soon

baz luhrmann is a phenomenal director

loyalty.

SHOP WE THE TRIBE

I can't stop playing this.
