so i'm going home for a week. April 1st through the 9th. hopefully i'll be able to visit jackson, too.
don't let these words fool ya i'm supergod damn excited.
i wrote a poem about sex. it's not graphic at all but i still grunt and moan when i read it. out loud.
i'm doing most of my paintings about identity, heritage, self, and language these days.
my friends here are cooler than i am, that's no surprise.
two of them went to New Orleans to help gut houses in the 9th Ward in February, and they're going back in May, and one asked me if I wanted to go. I said no, and then he tried to make me feel guilty. if he does it again i'm gonna make him feel guilty for keeping the Mississippi Gulf Coast out of his solidarity umbrella.
I said no because I believe New Orleans needs to fend for itself these days, and i'm doing what I do here so that I can go back and do what i do there better.
My roommate was kicked out of the dorm. his name is Dank, and now you know all about him.
I'm going to convince a friend of mine to take me to Nigeria with him. he and his brother are both Yoruba, and the Yoruba fill me with awe.
i'm going to sail around.
i'm going to go to MIT for engineering.
My father finished the boat he built.
i just found something from someone in the bottom drawer of something and it says something on the back, something i needed to hear months ago.
this is about as emotional as i allow myself to get these days.
