Playwrighting, screenwriting, fiction, travel and peace.
I just like community, man. Like minded folks trying to make a difference in the world
Nyaze! All of my underground peoples who are trying to evolve us despite much resistance from the studio thugs, the panty peformers, the R2D2 shifters, the mannequins, the business men...keep doing you. Now, back to our program---Sade, Maxwell, Audio Slave, Seu Jorge, DMB, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sting, Dianne Reeves, Motown, Roy Ayers, Mos Def, Kweli, Quincy Jones--remember neo soul before it was called Neo Soul? Man...what happened to us?
Yes.
Sadly...yes...
I could be a wiseass on this one but that would be kind of sacrilege---right? I mean this from the girl who's idea of heaven is a big library with no overdue penalties...I'll try...Here it goes....My stuff (cocky--ain't I?) Song of Solomon, Bridges of Madison County, anything by Toni Cade Bambara, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Quicksand and Passing (what?!?! Harlem Renaissance soap operas!), The Autobiography of Malcolm X (we forget this, don't we?), Meridian, Betsey Brown (Ntozake is soooo....just sooooo), The Outsiders (who doesn't cry at the mere mention of Pony Boy and his crew?), all of Cliford Odetts plays, all of August Wilson, Sophie Tredwell's Machinal, playwrights Jenn Mattern Lane, Kristin Kahle, Herb Donaldson, Vasanti Saxena, Edward Alan Baker (my SLC shout out--not because of my sect but because those are some bad MF's), Ntozake's Spell ..7 (for all of you who think she hates men because of "For Colored Girls..." don't sleep on this peace about all of our plights), The Seagull (especially as done by David Lane--the most extraordinary production in the history of time), The Sound and the Fury, Invisible Man, The Catcher in the Rye, The Last Tycoon, The Great Gatsby, Dorothy Parker short story collection, The Eighth Day, Anne Rice early vampire chronicles, Devil in a Blue Dress, White Butterfly, About A Boy, How to Be Good, The Words Don't Fit In My Mouth, White Boy Shuffle, The Crimson Petal and White (don't be scurred of the 1000+ pages), random loving emails from friends and family, most billboards, t shirts, minds---I'm getting carried away.
