Just read…

I am positively sick of being the awkward girl. Everything I do is internal. I speak but the words are for the academic life, never an expression of me. So this is just a reminder to myself that there a no limitations and no bars containing my thoughts and creativity. Call it cheesy but for me it is important. For 18 years, I have been the silent child; causing no trouble and no hassles, just moving along. That ended. I go to Peru Friday, I have joined and become VP of a poetry group. I already changed majors and have a larger idea of what I want to do in life. No more AWKWARD bunny or at least not being afraid of my awkwardness because i know half of it is in my head and the other half is the awkwardness I love. I have a few other things on my to-do list but I’ll publicize after I do it.

Enjoy the day…

Look what I found… I micro snail

at first I was gonna make fun of her hair but after watching this I regret ever thinking anything negative about this woman oh my god YOU GO GIRL

Hi there strongbad! My hair is very big and very unruly, and probably looks a little goofy on the webcam! As a person of color, my natural hair texture is quite curly when I don’t brush it out. I used to spend hours straightening it and would get relaxers to get it straightened, which are very painful! I’ve just now gained the confidence to start wearing my hair naturally, though I straighten my bangs because I just like how it looks! My hair is probably one of my favorite features to be honest, and I don’t know what there is about it to “make fun of,” so maybe I’m a little confused! But I’m glad that I don’t feel embarrassed to post my videos despite knowing many people probably expect me to do something to point and laugh at, and I’m also glad you took the time to listen to my music. Have a nice day. :)

I get it! Btw, hair is AWESOME…

black-culture: buttahlove: majorblackgirlproblems: major black girl problem #180-FIFTY SHADES OF BEIGE Makes no fuckin’ sense! Then they make like 2 shades of “dark brown” as if that’s our only variation. Support black owned companies like iman and black opal… should resolve a few things for us.

Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand while the cameras were rolling on the set of Django Unchained and kept moving through the scene, never breaking character, and  his real-life bloodied hand made it into the final version of the film. During one take of that scene, DiCaprio unintentionally slammed his hand into glass, creating a gash that later required stitches. But that didn’t stop him from doing his job. As his hand bled quite visibly, DiCaprio kept going, even using the hand as a new dramatic prop. At one point he smears his bloodied hand over Broomhilda’s face in an act of evil dominance. And Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) looks horrified as he does it. (Perhaps Washington wasn’t acting!) And that was the take that director Quentin Tarantino kept in the film. (Source)

wow. this was cool right up until the bit the white man smeared his actual blood all over the face of a Black woman with no confirmation on whether or not that was discussed and consented to prior to take. 

that people are just going ‘oo eer, ACTING’ is gross. 

I was with this until it hit “At one point he smears his bloodied hand over Broomhilda’s face in an act of evil dominance. And Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) looks horrified as he does it. (Perhaps Washington wasn’t acting!)”.

Hail. No.

Nevermind the fact that I LOVE Kerry and I think she’s ah-mazing, that’s just disgusting.  You’re a little too deep in character if you’re wiping your blood all over my face. I would have cussed him and his mother out for that bull. I don’t care if we’re acting or not, do not be wiping your bodily fluids on my face.

Cause you will get done up done up sir.

Eww this movie has been ruined for me.

Forever.

Nope. Bye.

Wait…so that was his REAL blood…on her…face…nigga…is you out of your mind. i would have fucked him up. fuck the cameras.

so you guys mad that he smeared REAL blood on her… not that this movie was about slavery or anything… but the blood smearing is what did it? She also was hit with a real whip and the N-word was used repeatedly (snickering was a common reaction from all races of people in the theatre) Seriously, if Ms. Washington was ok with it, which she obviously was because she did not respond nor did we here anything of her disapproval, then we should respect it as a scene of realism. It’s safe to say that there were things done to black woman during the slave era that was far beyond blood smearing. Should hope that he was tested before hand.
