My Interests |
|
| West African Dance (Senegal, Guinea, Mali). Dressing like one of them Bohemian gypsy hoez. Trying to enjoy the moment like Imhotep (He said "Eat, Drink and be Merry for tomorrow we will die...") Studying history, folklore, spiritualities and cultures in antiquity. Glorifying martyrs. Bookstores. Jewelry shopping (Swarvosky Crystal Chandelier earrings this month... Somebody needs to stop me). Greek Philosophy. Ethnology. Epistemology, Anthropology. Alchemy. Collecting tribal accents. Building sandcastles in the Kalahari. Urban Safaris. Flea Markets. Sisterhood. Feng Shui. Ebay Queen. Reminding myself to ask questions like Socrates instead of giving answers. Standing on the shoulders of my foremothers. Gossiping with Tamiko. I'm that bitch that much rather be demonized by the conventional and deified by the radical. Writing such abstract and metaphysical poetry that even I don't understand the shit. Trying to make my crush on Mos Def go away...Wait did I tell you how fly I was? | |
