What is beauty? well i'll tell you one thing beauty does not lie in the eye of the beholder not if he is beholding an image of me! why? because by beauty is not confined by anyone's thoughts it likes in the mind of me. i am beautiful because i choose to b. not because some bony lil nword told be that just because my butt a lil fat n he hasnt even looked to see the tru color of my eyes! how dare you? n then he says maybe after 3 weeks of knowing me n "chillin" wit me every other day "o wow baby i didnt kno ya eyes were so light...they arent like most black girls" NEGRO PLEASE!!! you just now lookin into my eyes? how can you kno that i am 'beautiful' if you havent looked into my eyes which leads to my soul which leads to my true beauty? i kno why? because i saw all ya inner ugly n used my "we checkin niggas at the door policy" and you did not pass the criteria! no one n i mean NO ONE should be able to tell you something that is only for God to judge, we are made in the likeness of him and he has made us not we ourselves. beauty is such a passionate thing its so passionate because it is something that God controls. We try to altar our beauty, enhance it, twist it, clone it but at the end of the day its about the inner beauty and that right there, that thing right there, is all about you and god be beautiful for yourself be beautiful for God. When you kno you are beautiful trust me others will also. dont ever let a woman or a man come in an change ur perception of yu. love u. embrace you everyday in the mirror jus look at yourself your full self yes im talkin bucket naked bc thats how we came out! and dont pic urself apart thank God because u look so BADDD n if there is something that you decide you dont like, then change it for you and God. Loving oneself is the first step to self determination and happiness.
peace family.

"Im watching God" - Zora Neale Hurston
I have just finished watching the best movie that my eyes have seen, Yes better than any Spike Lee Joint including "love n basketball" the breath taking film was called "Their Eyes are Watching God" I was definitely not ready for what Lady Hurston's literature laid on me. the only problem is I wish i would have watched the movie after i read the book but such is life.
The movie gave the most beautiful depition of black love. The main lady, Jaine, went through a series of relationships which were similar to the ones that were common in that day. She never did give up love. Black love is a powerful thing and it exsist in any situation. It must be real in order for it to work tho. Black love is the strenght of our poeple combined with the most powerful force known to man. Nothing can break true black love but God himself. The struggle of the two builds a bond tighter than anything.
This love that Jaine finally found was such a liberating experience for me. Jaine represented all of the black super women of the world who are often the 'mules' of society. We are often at the bottom and it wasnt until her spirit mate Tea Cake touched her spirit in unison as she touched his that she was able to be free and finally truly happy. He loved her to the core. Dang i need to read this book sooo bad! cnt wait til i gt my check so i cn order it offline!! lol
This masterpiece is not just about love it is about living and finding peace of mind after doing soThe black ppl did not allow themselves to be victimized in this movie and that's what i love about it most. Not that they were not oppressed but when a person works against their oppression then they end up on top just like the proud people of Eatonville, Florida. The thing i love most about Jaine Crawford is that she lives life until she is able to live it to the fullest as she wanted to do all along. All her life people wanted to confine her n keep her and mold her into someone she didnt want to be, one of the most beautiful lines she says in the movie is " it feels like all my early years i spent being old, and now im young just for you" This movie caused Alice Walker the writer of The Color Purple to say "There is no book more important to me than this one" which would explain why Alice did a dissertation on Madame Hurston
I love the title of this novel turned movie because the meaning is so free. I could interpret it a completely different way from how you interpret it and that is the beauty of literature. Zora Neale Hurstons firey attitude is show thru this title to me. she is such a free spirit and on a spiritual level that she feels comfortable to watch God every once in a while to return the favor of him always watching her. He lead her to true love and back and her love will live on. That's when you know you got that Good Good when you dont miss your love when he dies because you know he will forever live on in your heart.
This movie gave me some black history that I didn't exactly know about, and of course imma lay it on you! so Eatonville, Florida this was the first incorporated Black town in America and they take much pride in that still today! check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_M-PfhgMsg this is where Mama Hurston is from. I havent done enough research to know if the character by the name of Jaine in the movie which is played by Halley Berry is supposed to portray Hurston, but im def spending my summer reasearching on things of the likes!
these are just my thoughts nothing serious. more to come. much love
peace family
