CALL FOR ARTISTS: STOKED SESSIONS LA 2009
Stoked Mentoring just announced a call for artists for its annual Stoked Sessions LA event.
Stoked Sessions is an art show and fundraiser for Stoked Mentoring, a non-profit organization for at-risk youth.
Stoked is looking for a variety of artists who identify with the West Coast, Southern California, or Los Angeles, as this year’s theme is “I ‘heart’ LA.” Stoked is specifically looking for artists whose creative expression is inspired by surf, skate, or snow, but the main objective is to receive original submissions from artists with dimensions that are 10” x 10” in a variety of mediums and materials.
The deadline for a submission is April 25th, 2009. The Stoked Sessions LA show will go down Saturday and Sunday, May 2 & 3, 2009 at Upper Playground in Downtown LA. Details on Stoked Sessions LA here.

Esperanto, an artificial language introduced in 1887 and intended by its inventor, Dr. Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof (1859-1917), a Polish oculist and linguist, to ease communication between speakers of different languages. In the 20th cent. it has been taught in schools and universities throughout the world but has not received wide acceptance as an international language. Its grammar and lexicon are relatively unfamiliar to users who do not know other Indo-European languages; its syntax, spelling, and pronunciation are influenced especially by Slavonic

patience saves the day every time.

I NEED a tattoo that says "patience". 4 real tho, a constant reminder to combat the fact that I'm ridiculously impulsive.... always getting into trouble over stupid shit.

So a couple people have been asking me to make clothes for them off the designs I made for myself... long story short..

I WANNA GO ON A SAFARI!!! in my backyard maybe...

My moms the 'queen' lady in this video, with the robot visor goggles on her head.

Walking into a house you've never seen before and realizing there are pictures of you all over the walls and you had no idea, is a little weird... that a place you've never been already has some idea of you in mind..

and it's even more unnerving to consider whether their take on you is closer to the real you... a little more true than the places you've been forcing yourself to get through

When I was little I was totally in love with Star Search; Obsessed. 

I remember sitting in my grandma's bed at 7 or 8 years old in my Pj's, with wet, freshly permed hair (which gave me the dopest peggy bundy hair-do) and waiting patiently for Ed McMahon.

At that time if you had asked me,  I probably would have told you that Star Search was my life's destiny. I was positive that I would conquer that show, even though I couldn't sing, and although I swore I could dance really good, there were subtle implications to make me think not everyone agree'd.

Oh yeah, Ed McMahon is said to be going into foreclosure on his house. The Economy is so bad that it's de-throwning the face of Star Search? Mike Tyson is a different story, he didn't make dreams come true, he bit ears.

And then sometimes it comes

making my insanity's numb

bringing me down inside the sickness

a place of soggy crumbs and the absence of  drums

But it's aim is vicious

a doll house scenery

where the heart's pump is purely fictitious  

Like explosion amnesia, erasing what's real

a local anesthesia, that chemical meal

no tears or hunger

I choose not to feel

fall down. grow hard. 

flesh sensitive only to surgical steel.

And these are the highs

where the frequency momentarily mutes the cries

the lows they seem much worse

leaving me empty and dry, with cliched plastic thirst

reliable, this cycle is monotone and well-rehearsed

a cynical nurse who came disguised as a doctor at first

so when clarity threatens to raise the curtain

I grab the blindfold. stay safe in the uncertain.

Words from the mouth are always too messy.
