a fellow thinker’s thoughts from paris

January 28th, 2009

THIS IS MY LAST DAY IN PARIS AND IT’S BEEN CRAZY. I’VE MET SO MANY DOPE PEOPLE. I FEEL SO INSPIRED BY THE TRIP…I’VE BEEN THINKING OF RAPS, BEATS, CLOTHES, VIDEOS , STAGE DESIGNS AND PHILOSOPHIES… I ALWAYS FEEL MY BEST WORK IS MY NEXT WORK. I’VE MADE SOME GOOD CHOICES AND SOME MISTAKES… I’VE BEEN LOVED AND HATED…I’VE BEEN HAILED AND RIDICULED…I’VE BEEN INVITED TO SHOWS AND AS USUAL ASKED NOT TO COME. I’VE BEEN ATTACKED FOR BEING ME…FOR BEING BRIGHT RED IN A GREY WORLD…I AM NUCLEAR ENERGY…WHEN CAPSULATED IN AN IDEA OR BOX LIKE A STAGE OR SHOE DESIGN I CREATE MAGIC…WHEN LEFT FREE SOMETIMES I BURN THINGS…IT’S THE NATURE OF A TRUE ARTIST…I AM NOT PERFECT AND I WILL NEVER BE WHAT I WAS TAUGHT MY WHOLE LIFE AND THAT WAS TO BE “CHRIST LIKE”… I’M FINE WITH JUST BEING THE BEST ME! I ACCEPT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM. I WILL NEVER ATTACK NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND THERE ENERGY…I FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY DON’T THINK FOR THEMSELVES BUT MERELY BASE THERE OPINIONS ON WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT. LIFE IS A GAME! IF EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN I WAS DOING IT, THERE WOULD BE NO CHALLENGE, THEREFORE NO GAME. IT IS THE CRACK IN THE WALL THAT ALLOWS LIGHT TO SHINE THROUGH. SOOO THANK YOU SENSATIONAL NEWS REPORTERS…THANK YOU GOSSIP SITES…THANK YOU BARBER SHOPS. THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO THRIVES ON THE DOWNFALL OF OTHERS, FOR I WILL NOT FALL!!! YOUR PESSIMISM IS MY POWER…YOUR PRESUMPTIONS LEAD TO MY REDEMPTIONS. I DON’T LIKE THE OBVIOUS…I LIKE THE TENSION…I LIVE FOR THE FIGHT! I AM A SOLDIER OF FREE THOUGHT IN A CLOSED MINDED WORLD AND I AM READY FOR WAR. I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING SO I AM FEARLESS…YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T KNOW WHO YOU’RE UP AGAINST…I WILL SPARK A GENERATION OF THINKERS WHO WILL QUESTION TRADITIONAL THOUGHT UNTIL THEY FIND THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME SOMEONE TO PROVE WRONG AS I HAVE DONE FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOU FEEL THE WORLD WILL NEVER CHANGE…YOU FEEL MISERY IS THE ONLY COMPANY…AND I AM HERE TO PROVE YOU ALL WRONG…(I’LL GIVE THE SECRET TO MY DEMISE FOR ALL THAT WISH I WOULD JUST DROP DEAD…ACCEPTANCE!! IF YOU COULD FINISH MY SENTENCES THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO START THEM.) THANK YOU PARIS ONCE AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME ACCESS TO THE GREATEST ARTIST AND DESIGNERS THIS EARTH HAS TO OFFER…THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION BECAUSE GENIUS LOVES COMPANY!
