What is up Community with all the “shock” over the Grammys and suddenly hating on Beyoncé? I mean a good 3 months ago all most of you could do is rave about her to the point of obsession??? If only the collective became this reactive to issues that really impact our lives and the lives of our future generations – SMDH. Yes! The entertainment industry is FULL of racial disparities, and has been since its birth – what have you since been motivated to do to change it? Hell, most of you wasting energy complaining about it will watch the Grammys again next year, which is more reflective of you being at a point in your own personal life where you need something to complain about (more related to personal dissatisfaction(s) than outrage over the actual reality of a lack of authentic cultural representation in Hollywood/the U.S. entertainment industry, as this has been the case far before the 2014 Grammys).
And all this energy hating & misogynistic backlash on Beyoncé based on her performance … debating about whether she’s a “role model” or not, calling her a whore, etc. – you’ve got to be kidding me?! Beyoncé is a performer/entertainer, and 95% of female entertainers wear provocative clothing and are sexually expressive … as long as you the consumer continue on with your addiction to escapism and fund the demand of shallow, sexualized lyrics that say the same thing with the same beat in a different way year after year, half-naked female entertainers will continue to be the majority. Again, this is not new here - collectively, at any given moment in time we can choose to fund something different.
The real issue here is that far too many of you continue to confuse entertainers (via your obsession with pop culture escapism) with reality, and (most importantly) *reality based* role models, which can be found in every city/town across this country. You are free to choose to spend some time amongst (or at least reading/learning about) real community-based and societal role models that are here to serve and make profound differences in the lives of many … perhaps educate yourselves and turn into that very type of person. Authentic human connections can make it better for everyone folks!
**PS: and to the women joining in on the misogynistic rants about Beyoncé – please tell me, like her, you've been with the same successful Man forever, as a best friend, partner and thereafter wife, wherein all your children were created from this loving bond, and the both of you work hard and play hard building a life and foundation together, b/c surely you’ve got the blueprint plan down re how to make it happen since you have so much to say right?!
Big up to the Grammys 2014 for serving as an example as to why my generation can’t get ahead and how we collectively remain far too absorbed with media created reality to shift our focus elsewhere (far sadder than any Grammy performance hands down)! - Lea Jones 1.28.14

END of the year
Most readers have not been in my presence and don't have another sense of me and who I am. Through my musings, what I write about and the images I use there is a sense of me that is viable. Like anyone else the dimensions of self are more than one. This year is closing out, and many look back on their years with regret, or anticipation to get into the next year. I don't make New Years' resolutions anymore. They were too connected to other people's perceptions of me so I stopped making them. Instead I focus on the purpose I am in this life. The only times I was unsure of why I was alive were during the periods of my life I could not find a place my particular gifts fit in, or jive with the people I was involved with during those times.
I have a notebook that is detailed about my purposes in this lifetime, and I have a detailed prophecy about the why of my existence, and I have an analysis of my life from the perspective of Ausar Auset spiritual teachings. These three give me the words. I live the purpose. It is easy. It is easy living knowing the who and the why. How I know is directly tied to my childhood. There is no child who does not know why they came to this place, and I was no different. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.30.13

| That is quite an image, a couple of old heads on powerful machines. Having lived their lives as young men it would be interesting to listen to and feel the power of their lives as they tell it, and sense what is related to them. . . |
