When I get pregnant, I wanna carry my baby in my booty like Kim K. It'll be the only chance I get to have a big ass. I know her baby ain't really in her booty. -__-
Moving on to the topic. This episode of Misfits is on--
--Being a Non- "Artist"
One, don't let the tagline of the blog fool you. I am not an artist. Do not feel like an artist. And, do not want to be labeled as an artist. I'm just me. What I do, I do for me and varying other reasons, which I will explain later.
I'm a Misfit and I don't care for traditional labels. Especially on my sexuality (even though I did label it in a previous Misfit, that was just so I wouldn't have to give a lesson on proper terms for sexuality and gender indentity.... ). I may even be an extra Misfit on this topic because I know a few Misfits who would argue me down and tell me I'm an artist. The fuck I am!
I'm gonna break this shit down bit by bit for you. Explain all the "artistic" shit I do and why it's not artistic. But we gonna keep it simple first. Start with the definition of an artist.
Merriam-Webster and nem define an artist as:
I ain't learned shit. I am not trained, and I'm not saying you have to be, but... I'm ain't. Now, I done already said I don't do traditional labels, and this is a basic example of a traditional label, so I should be able to transcend and go above and beyond... but I'm stuck. Because I don't want to be an artist. I don't want the responsibility. I don't want the attention (after I die). And I just have hard time viewing myself in that light. Not that I don't think I'm talented or acknowledge that some of my work may be seen as artistic, but your labels don't stick. Get it ?
1. Ok, so, I make earrings. Nope, not an artist. I make fucking accessories.
2. My Natreel'Babies. Again, not an artist. I make these dolls, and sometimes their clothes, only because I got fucking tired of Barbies with hair long and blond down to their behind knowing good and damn well mine will never look like that on it's own. I just think that every little girl should have a doll that looks like them, and while the proportions of Barbie's body are all fucked up, that bish be rocking that bush, lol.
3. Stories/Smut/Poetry/Blogs. Oh, shit. Think I may have to do this step by step. Blogs just don't count. If I was talking, this is exactly what I would say.
Smut. You know what, I may just have to be a smutty artist. Sex is art. And I'd paint the fuck out your canvas. Too much? My bad...
Stories and poetry. The land where my fantasies, dreams and subconscious meet. But, most importantly, my therapy session. I can sort out all my problems, answer every question I have. I just let of stream of consciousness come out of me and sometimes my subconscious follows. Even as I'm writing this, I'm discovering things so much deeper than what I'm sharing.
4. The stage. Now, I rarely ever find my ass on someone's stage. At least once a year tho. And the experience is so-- I don't have words for it. My experiences on stage are the closest my lil docile catholic ass is gonna get to catching the holy ghost. Seriously. It's like my spirit lifts out my body and the words I recite ooze out of me like sap from a tree. I have no control over them, but I know they are perfectly controlled. The stage is my religion and I worship on it as often as I can, as often as I can tolerate, because I am afraid of it.
In saying all this, I've come to a realization. I don't like the simplicity of the word artist because it doesn't encompass all that I am or what I am at all. I'm a worshiper a therapist and patient, a culture saver, a stylist, a sex goddess (wait. no. that's Isis). Either way, what I am cannot be simplified into the word artist. It's not my profession. It's not what I want to be. I don't want the responsibility of an artist. I just wanna be me. No boxes checked. No labels needed. I wanna be free to flow forward and backwards like the water I am.
