Ugandan Art Movement

I have been at fabrica for a year now, its therefore only natural, that this is the direction of my mental wirings…

Art gallaries, museums, exhibitions, permanent and temporary,….Ugandan Art…

will add more links to this….when i do

I am broke

really

empty 

no money

nothing

I need to get a job. I need a job that pays.

See, really i am not big on money. I don’t like money. at all, actually. 

I just like the things, that seemingly, only with money i can attain

See this is why i get excited about a weekend trip, a Micah P Hinson concert, a day of adding to my closet….because, honestly, it is the way of life. It’s only a city , with a great private concerts, and i do need clothes… its a different season. Necessities . It’s not like am squandering my money in just three days no.

So, that is why i fail to understand, why it is become  natural that i will get my pay (allowance) on the 20th, and by the morning of the 27th,  am crawling all over my bedroom floor, sweeping  for scattered cents that should make at least two euros for the bus ticket….

 

 

I need money. 

Some one

employ me

please

or 

bankroll me

or 

when you see me on kampala streets

throw me a lukumii in fives

 

I come to rwanda on the 2nd of May….

another chapter starts….the first chapter

I will marry Ginsele Bundchen.

But this is about Nancy Gibbs. 

last night i concluded that i should write a love letter to Nancy Gibbs. I love her words, i love to read from her… she is delicious, line for line, she is delicious… I’ve read very many of her essays that i always feel like reproducing them. Typing it all over again, because, i imagine, it must be such a thrill to type words like;      Chimpazees apologise, or atleast perfom “reconciliation protocols.” How hard can this be? 

-The masters of the universe who caused this money

mess can’t master a simple skill, apologising;  Time Mag. March 30 (p.52) 

 

or

At a moment of obvious peril, America decided to place its fate in the hands of a man who had been born to an idealistic white teenage mother and the charismatic African grad student who abandoned them — a man who grew up without money, talked his way into good schools, worked his way up through the pitiless world of Chicago politics to the U.S. Senate and now the White House in a stunningly short period. That achievement, compared with those of the Bushes or the Kennedys or the Roosevelts or the Adamses or any of the other American princes who were born into power or bred to it, represents such a radical departure from the norm that it finally brings meaning to the promise taught from kindergarten: “Anyone can grow up to be President.”

shat, i have to leave now… to be continued

 

nice weekend

Note to self

Today begins my last weekend in Italy….

Next week, I intend to blog, as list of things sort of way, my one year experiences in italy…

Today, I have a terrible hangover… i just wanted to stay in bed and not come to work…

But i didnt come to work yesterday, well, not until 6.30pm, and i had only come for the concert, which i missed…

I was in time for the drinks though…and i did get myself a full glass of sparkling wine…which was the start of my most memorable glass of wine so far….a story, to be told and retold by me, and everyone else

There is a second concert tonight. I will miss it too. which is sad really because i really want to see

this guy play. Chris and Geremia are playing with him too… Everybody says they are great on this one, esp. consindering that they are improvising…Chris says this guy is great. Hanna tells me I would love his music… > I had chat with him last night, very cool guy. And am going to miss the second concert.

I leave for milan tonight (am tempted to cancel for the concert) with Anna, Maia and Julian….We are going for the furniture fair weekend. Looking forward to that… and the shopping too. (will be back pennyless as usual). I love road trips…. but i love milan mostly…great place to spend a last weekend… but especially this weekend.

I will be busy most of next week finalising the preps for the project, packing up, and doing goodbye dinners. 

I doubt i will have much time to blog. 

And when am gone… from May 2….to whenever… I doubt i will have any time to blog at all.

I might open a second blog, for the project… consindering that very little writing has been done on this project….and am in the creative writing department… since i got here, ive been doing pictures, and pictures, and pictures… and the other day, i told this illustrator guy, that using pictures is a lazy way to tell a story….thats like telling the pope God does not exist….

I love telling a story with pictures… am in a visual arts factory for fx sake….i  MUST LOVE IT

okay now am going on and on….

 

have a nice weekend 

ciao tutti

Girlfriends and boyfriends

Scott is this really cute guy i know…..

he sends me, from Oz, the best little things via the internet, many, many times

and today, he sent me this guy whom i literary can’t get past…

It is amazing how much he knows of me, that he gets me full circle (even when i insist to him that he doesnt) —  scott I mean, not Vincent Gallo.

And now, sharing my sweet presents:

 Q. So what should we talk about? 

V. What should we talk about? I don’t know, I really have nothing to say anymore, this is already uncomfortable. I’m talking to a journalist. I feel the pain coming already. The brutal pain, when one day I should read your edit of whatever I say, because no matter what I say, no matter how I say it, no matter it’s tone, it’s frequency range, it’s decibel level or the way in which I put the words together, no matter my intentions and no matter the truth, what I’ll read one day will be a chastised, manipulated abortion of your misunderstandings, your manipulations, your agenda and your amateur use of the English language. 

Q. How can I do that if this is a Question and Answer? 

V. You’ll edit out the questions that I give answers to that you don’t like or YOU don’t feel are important or that offend YOU or offend anyone who controls your magazine. I will also be stuck answering your questions. Besides, the best interview of Vincent Gallo was done by Vincent Gallo. The best articles about Vincent Gallo were written by Vincent Gallo, the best acting performance of Vincent Gallo was directed and edited by Vincent Gallo from a screenplay written by Vincent Gallo, even the best photographs of Vincent Gallo were taken by Vincent Gallo. So you see, this is painful for me. 

Q. This is why my first question was, what do you want to talk about?, because I don’t have an agenda here. 

V. Let’s talk about what a wonderful president George Bush has been so far.Let’s talk about how ridiculous handicap parking is. Let’s talk about why the Puertoricans think they need to have a parade down fifth avenue. Or for that matter why the gays do too. Why isn’t the Veterans Day parade down fifth avenue? The people who secure our nation get a couple blocks in Brooklyn while the fags and spics get Fifth Avenue.
Let’s talk about revenge. 

I would like to know more on this one

Am I the only one who didn’t know about these kids?

(until only last night- thanx for the link Stephanie)

Do you guys know about the skateboard union in Kitintale?

Some one do tell.

Their website is a little scary- in intention, I preferred their blog.

“Are you religious,” they ask

i still don’t understand the intention or meaning or purpose of this question

maybe because, i only started hearing, and saying it only 10 months ago. And like a child, i use to way too often now.

 

But this what i am.

Am a lover of religious pageantry, the wonderlands, the myths, the fairy tales, the colors of heaven, the temperatures of hell, the literature, the music, the art and architecture, the little and big the dolls, the fights and defences…

 

I love that we marry for religion. 

 

that we love for religion

 

that we strive for the good…. for religion

 

that we use religion to explain who we are, who we will be

 

I love that we live for religion; our lives are basically based on whether we are for or against or in the between …. 

 

Religion civilizes human beings, i was once told…. 

that’s hot.

 

I am a big lover of religion… huge; the king, the prince, the warlord…. ( i feel a little left out about now though)

 

………….and here is my most beloved wonderland…Sky Kingdom, a beautiful teapot sect, which i, as a lover of tea, would have faithfully worshiped in absolute submission.

but the devil came along, in his black fire, and torched it to ash…. A long, long time ago.

 

- there is hell for the devil, he should be warned  (a punishement that shouldnt make sense really, consindering that this is his kingdom… Dude burns in fire on the every day. every night.

thats hot)

 

PS: THIS IS not RANDOM RUMBLINGS

that would be sad

Lauryn Hill. beautiful. lyrical. woman. Colours

- listening to Lost one on Negrita’s blog…. loving the whole Myspace/facebook/utube/twitter/weblogthing going on Negrits!!!!!

-plus, Scott sent me this link that i will not share….not yet… need to read all that is there…

but this quote i will share.

In a 2005, [Bob]Holman was also quoted as saying:

“

The spoken word revolution is led a lot by women and by poets of color. It gives a depth to the nation’s [usa] dialogue that you don’t hear on the floor of Congress. I want a floor of Congress to look more like a National Poetry Slam. That would make me happy. ” –Sweet In a 2005 interview, one of slam’s best known poets Saul Williams praised the youth poetry slam movement, explaining: “ [H]ip-hop filled a tremendous void for me and my friends growing up… The only thing that prevented all the young boys in the black community from turning into Michael Jackson, from all of us bleaching our skin, from all of us losing it, just losing it, was hip-hop. That was the only counter-existence in the mainstream media. That was essential, and in that same way I think poetry fills a very huge void today [among] youth. And I guess I count myself among the youth. —-Word more later
