Title: “a thought.”

My heart is still in Ghana, but my brain is in South Africa.

Possibly the worst thing you could do is take me around the world, and introduce me to all these problems which I can solve … because now, I have a to do list.

I can stay awake for as long as I can stay asleep.
I can send emails for as long as I can avoid them.
I can stay in school for as long as I can ditch class.
I can talk to people for as long as I can ignore them.
I can read books for as long as I can watch airplanes.

length of time for all activities above = forever.

It’s peculiar how much weight we put in words from another; if you can quote someone else in conversation, your argument suddenly becomes heavier. How is this possible..?

I suddenly found inspiration from my starfish late last night. It lead to a starfish photoshoot. Design thinking + enterprise design + biomimicry? I think yes.

poetry.
is anything but regularity.

regularity
is anything but now

and now is everything but never.

for now,
lasts
for ever.

and ever is for nothing.

but nothing isn’t possible.

because no thing is
impossible

and every thing
is poetry.

because nothing
has regularity.

The Intro to Lupe Fiasco's "Little Weapon"

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:30:06 -0700

tells three stories. They’re all different, yet they’re all the same:

“Little Terri got a gun he got from the store, he bought with the money he got from the shores. He robbed the candy store, told her “lay down on the floor, put the cookies in the bag, take the pennies out the drawer.”

Lil Khalil got a gun he got from the rebels to kill the infidels & American devils. A bomb on his waste, a mask on his face; prays five times a day and listens to heavy metal.

Little Alex got a gun he took from his dad, that he snuck into school in his black book bag. His black nail polish, black boots and black hair; he gone blow away the bully that just pushed his ass.”

After starting a new sticky note titled “A typical Day” (with the intent of creating a general skeleton for what my days should look like), I realized that I’ve only ever had atypical days. I’m not sure if I can do patterns, or habits. We shall see.

I was going through old notes on my phone and found this gem.
