Trippy

December 5, 2007


Psychedelic waves bouncing through my head

blues and reds form mystical visions

of things unsaid

feeling trippy

feeling fine

feeling good

all the time

peace my brotha

everything is swell

tree huggin' fools

secrets they do tell

be good to the animals

Peta will not have a say

ahhhhhhhhh the sunrise

its time to play

running through the fields

rainbows and ribbons

dance through my mind

feelin' trippy

feelin' good

feelin' fine

my mind is seeks not

altering vibes

weed, mushrooms

take away my good time

come join my journey

be a part of my parade

this good feelin'

leads to an orgasmic

tirade.

feelin' trippy

feelin fine

hypnotic, psychedelic joy ride

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service.

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did.  In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
