Another bad day…

I am very sad and disappoint and just so much of depressed. In all honesty I just want to drink and eat my feelings* oh well fuck the world…

Just a girl, high on a pill

Ok frenemies, i have had a migrane for 9 days. i am sad, i also have to keep my mothafucking day job so I have started taking vast amounts of painkiller, its been magical, i love you all.

A rape.. and a murder.

Yesterday the local radio station 702 played a recording of this poem as read by the poet, Maya Angelou. Its is in regards to the gang rape and murder of Bredasdorp teen, Anene Booysen, which shocked our nation (slightly overdue, I might add).

But the poem is a thing of beauty so I stole it and plaked it here; I will search for the recording of Maya Angelou reading it, because that too is spectacular.

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Internet funtimes*

Ipants…

Love myself a capybara

Just having one of those days…

Sad, sad girl

Got some pretty shitty news today… This makes me feel slightly better, but not really…
