I was tagged by my dear friend Disa to share 7 facts about myself. It was at that moment I couldn't figure who I really was.
So as short as these facts may be just know that it took me absolutely forever to come up with anything remotely interesting about me.
1. I LOVE METAPHORS
You know, part of the reason I love rap music is the way artists are able to paint pictures with their words. Whether it be one figurative metaphor that describes one concept like Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R." or lines like this where Luda says "My deals never get screwed my contracts practice abstinence/ (I'm) a master in this program, hazing these undergraduates". It's just something about using a whole other concept to talk about another concept. It has a sorta "elitist" feel to it and that those who "get it" are in the know, you know? Like Inception with words.....sorta
2. I HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
Okay maybe this isn't as interesting because I think everybody can attest to it. SoMe (my little abbreviation for it) is a necessary evil because I do believe it's So about Me or You in this case. It's great because it gives everybody a platform. It's horrible because it gives everybody a platform. These days I'm barely on anything simply because of work, an attempt to actually interact with people physically rather than digitally, and bored/lazy with the current options. I love how far it has come and it fascinates me how platforms like Vine give people a chance they may never have through traditional media. I'm also very interested into what the next wave of social media will be......
3. I'M A SCI-FI FANATIC
I low-key wish I had super powers. Shows like Heroes and The 4400 really have me thinking "What If" It fascinates me to think of the possibilities of a world with people who suddenly had abilities. To this day I'm upset at sooooooo many sci-fi shows that have been cancelled to the point I even emailed the creator of FlashForward to lament my frustration and ask if his great work can be produced anywhere else. He actually responded months later and gave me the news that it wasn't. He then encouraged me to read up on his other work. Le sigh
4. I HATE ASHY KNUCKLES
Pet-peeve. Plain and simple
5. I FINALLY WATCHED PULP FICTION FROM BEGINNING TO END
Yup. Just a couple weeks ago.
6. I LOVE MINIMALISM
From graphic designs to the way you live your life. I just believe that less is more. It's a beautiful things when so much can be expressed without too much hoopla, clutter, and overstating of words. And no this is not an excuse to be lazy.
7. WOMEN ARE EVERYTHING
Yall is smart, kind, and important. At least some of yall. Truthfully, women are needed more than we all know. As far as I'm concerned they are appreciated by me.
