“Red Mami Chula in the Early Morning Light”
Self Portrait by Angelique

There are several reasons why I don’t keep loaded weapons in the house.
One reason is that I’m a convicted felon. . .
Two, I’m favorably prone to violence when provoked.
I can’t trust that a persons untimely departure would be solely attributed to my *ahem* “self defense” - Rather, I busted a cap in that ass cuz it felt soooooo damn appropriate.
And now you’re a dead motherfucker. . .
My wrath is your EXIT stage left, bitch .
ENTER rigor mortis, stage right.
Unbridled anger beckons me to sashay down the runway & deliver one solid kick to your rigid - lifeless - body, strictly for the sake of poots & giggles.
This somewhat spontaneous event is sponsored by your ignorance of my ‘gangsta’.
Nevertheless, it got me hummin’ show tunes from the musical “Chicago” & wishing I was wearing my custom made, size 11, tap shoes.
STEP-FLAP-SLAP-STAMP-JUMP-TOE -HEEL-DROP-CRAMP ROLL- SHUFFLE
“Jazz Hands & Hot Lead ” would be the name of my routine.
Doesn’t that sound lovely?
I’d break a out a dance combination so crisp, you’d think the spirit of Sammy “Mr.Bojangles” Davis Jr. was speaking through me. ” Sha boing, boing! “
Oops . . . almost forgot, you can’t think . . .not in your condition.
However, judging by the mortified expression on your once smug lookin’ face, your dying thoughts have been communicated effectively .
The horror, locked into your glassy eyeballs is annoying me . . .
Why were you so surprised? I gave you fair warning.
*singing* Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I ?
I’ll do us both a favor and gently brush your eyelids closed with my free hand; my other five fingers still have a kung-fu grip your downfall.
And now I’m feelin’ indifferent and bitter.
What a waste of life.
Got me shaking my head & speaking aloud . . .

” Look at this fool, still sleeping on the Saucy Dame.”

I piss glitter & venom. What chu thought?

art
1 : skill acquired by experience, study, or observation
2: implies a personal, unanalyzable creative power

addiction
1 : the quality or state of being addicted
2 : compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol, or art)

I don’t claim to be an art connoisseur. As a matter of fact, until today, I didn’t even know how to spell the word “connoisseur”. And don’t ask me how to spell it tomorrow, because I will have forgotten by then. Nope, I’m not to swift with spelling fancy French words. I’m also nobody’s art historian. All I know is what I like and what I don’t like.

Art is important. All human beings should have exposure to some form of art. Its creative power helps keep us balanced in this crazy mixed-up, world. And in my opinion, it should be valued alot more by society than it often is. Are ya with me? With that being said I have a few artistic sites I found to be of interest. Many of them I consider to be “Urban Art”. But, for the most part I really don’t care to box folks in w/ labels . . .

This list isn’t hardly a complete compilation of all things artistic/ genres of art, etc. I don’t possibly have the time to research and break you off with that much info. I too am learning as I go. So, without further ado . . . Get to clickin’ !
