“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison.
Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”

If you are a fan of Community then you know him as Troy. His real name is Donald Glover and he goes by Childish Gambino, when he raps. Don’t sleep cause he is not joking. He can spit, choices great production for his songs, and oh ya he can spit.

You can get his EP here. You can check out his website here. He also has another album, and you can get that here.

Everyone that I have let listen to his songs has not only liked him but has put his shit on heavy rotation.

Came across this really cool short called “Plot Device”. I thought it was clever so I decided to share, enjoy!

The one thing I want to know is how he will be able to hear after that?

I ride the subway everyday. The diversity of people on the subway interests me. The forced interaction is intriguing. When you ride the subway everyday, especially multiple times a day, you begin to recognize the people you ride along with. I always found it weird that you recognize these people but never say anything to them. You may even share a smile of recognition, a hello, but nothing more.

There are a few people who I only know through my train ride, we say hello, we laugh at people on the train together, and comment on things we observe on the train. I enjoy my tain friendships, they are interesting. I wish for them to never end, but I know they will because some day I will move apartments, but then I will make more commuter friends.

Recently I found myself stuck at the Memphis airport awaiting a flight. I met a person from London who was also awaiting a connecting flight. We stuck together for four hours discussing our interests, the people in the airport, basically everything we could fit in our four hours together. I mad a single serving friend. We shared a moment in time and will probably share no more, but that is okay. Maybe that moment in time was enough, was all we were meant to have, if not then somehow we will have more.

The flapping of the wings is kind of weirds me out, actually everything about this thing weirds me out. I am amazed that we have finally figured out how to replicate the whole bird flying thing. Yes we have figured out how to fly, but never by flapping a type of wing.
