Martin Louie the King Jr?

So i'll admit when Kanyes CD first came out I didn't give it a chance. I liked the singles && that was about it. Now since Monday i've had it on repeat. I feel like 90% of the time- He's saying shit I just never found the words to say! I relate to every song, granted every song only has a few different lines repeated over again. But still. Mr Martin louie the king jr gets hurt, just like me. I always tend to think that cocky mtf's such as Mr. West have a lot of issues going on internally anyways and thats why they act the way they do...but to relate to him? It almost makes me feel better. cuz "the ppl highest up got the lowest self-esteem", right? Just a thought...

Is there more you should know?

I am completely aware that I don't know everything. And I am a strong believer that people can't necessarily be blamed for their ignorance depending on the environment that they grew up in. Knowing that, I still can't help but get pissed off by how fucking stupid people are.

For example, a customer walks in with her friends today and sees a Malcolm X poster on the wall. "Oh my god why would they have a Malcolm X poster here?! thats rediculous" she said. Right away I start listening to her every word just because i'm sure it can only get better from there. They walk around for a bit and then come full circle back to the picture. "I just want to take this picture and destroy it"."Why don't you like him?" one of her friends said. "Hes a black guy that wanted to kill every single white person-like slaughter them all." I wonder if they could feel the anger beaming off of me. Here she is, telling her friends this garbage. But is it her fault? She only could have heard that from her parents or some other adult that obviously thought it was true. It was by no means my place to interrupt and tell her to go read a book and then throw it at her parents for teaching her such BS. But I wanted to.

Growing up where I have, around the people that I have, all I can say is that i'm 100% happy that I am not that sheltered from reality. And I also have to realize that I can't heal the world from their ignorance. The best I can do, is teach the children I know, my cousins, whoever looks up to me- to know better. God help the rest. lol.
If you dont know, do your research before you speak:

Get to know me?

You know what I thought of today? Gum is personal. Think about it. You only offer ceratin people pieces of gum, and you only accept gum from certain people. Family, friends, hell yeah i'll take your piece of gum. Person I just met in class? No, I couldnt take it, even though I really want it. Thats too much too soon, we just met! Its rude to take a 5 cent piece of gum from someone you're not close to...but someone you're close to, its rude if they dont offer you any. Its like unspoken. {these are the things I think of}

My name's Rachael, im 19 and a sophmore at the University at Buffalo. I have a part time job working at Hollywood Galleries. We sell movie posters, art posters, and music posters and custom mount pictures, articles, collages for customers. It might not be the most exciting job, but it pays my bills (and I got a raise today) :) I'm on my second semester hosting a radio show at my college station WRUB with my friend Brianna. Still working out the kinks and getting comfortable, but it's deffinately fun. I'm also part of Real Deal Entertainment- a Corporation, a movement, an inspiration.

Other than that I have a heart that loves too much for its own good {currently confused but still hopeful}, a mind that needs to be tested and challenged, and a mouth that holds back but says too much at the same time. There are four people that I couldnt live without, four people that can text me and make my day ten times better; one of those people I couldnt even tell you will for sure be in my life a week from now, let alone forever. I hate that. [But anyways]
I have two tattoos, and im getting my third drawn up tomorrow. The basis of it is in the picture up there ^.
