I am bitch and all that come before me

 I am committing to finishing bell hooks this week, I want to start Giovani's Room by James Baldwin. So I am reading bell hooks and it according to me that while I have heard and understood what 'self actualized' means I only know it by my context clues  definition  and not the textbook definition.   Self actualized: means realizing and fulfilling your unique potential, creative abilities and your personal desires. (Coined by Kurt G.) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a conceptualization of needs  that motivate human behavior. I needed to write this definition because I wanted to talk about what I am reading and I did not want to discuss without knowing what I am talking about.    "Young women want to embrace the "hard bitch" image because it keeps them from having to confront the pain that comes when females are pain that comes when females are punished for choosing to be self-actualized and successful."  What we do think, are we embracing...

What do I want to achieve in my current relationships or in future relationships? And continuation of yesterday's blog (books AND pictures)

 What I want in both my platonic and any future romance connections is: connection. I want to make sure I am establishing that we can have both meaningful and deep conversations as well as having fun moments. It is also important for me to be introspective if people do not feel like they can come to me if they are having a bad day or feeling emotional. I want people to know that while I may not be able to always relate to each and every experience that I share in sympathy and in empathy (when I can). I also want for my romance connections to be able to be a little less "me me me" and more about building a life that is centered around "us". I can have tunnel vision often and would like to ensure that I do not have that in my future romance connections. (( I do not know how to ensure that but I will figure it out). For my platonic relationships I would want to establish genuine friendships that comes from being supportive and there when they cannot always show up for themselves.

 (I want to talk about nothing with someone that means something). Okay what else do I have to say. I wanted to talk about the book sale and the book I won. I also want to say I applied to my first like library job (even though it is part time and evening :-) ). I am also reading an interesting article about Nietzsche's influence on Dali (that I am still reading). My next blog is going to be more philosophical because I am going to finish reading living for pleasure: An Epicurean guide to life. The book has bought up some interesting points and is allowing me a chance to think more about who I want to be, is social media that important (I did care about having a lot of tumblr followers) but not I do not care about having followers. I wanted to be tumblr famous as if that meant much back in the day, now I think people get paid or get those badges idk I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to what is new on Tumblr. 

So I went to a book sale that I talked about here, thinking it was going to be have all the books of my dreams (it did not) but I did get:

  • This Jazz magazine
  • A book of fashion history (won at a silent action)
  • A Sex and The City book
  • A philosophy book
  • Othello
  • a book about Josephine Baker
  • Macbeth (my favorite play)
  • The Tempest 
  • A book with Aristotle, Plato and Sophocles
  • A collection of books from 1870s-2010s like a historical timeline like it's a set. 
  • Ten School of Paintings (so it has like mini books inside of it) (American Painting, French Painting: 19th Century, Early Italian Painting, French Painting: 16th-18th Century, Flemish Painting, Later Italian Painting, Dutch Painting, British, German & Spanish Paintings)

Also I went to a bookstore and got some books from there:
  • African American Literature book oldest work from the 1970s
  • Incarnate by Ramsey Campbell (which I am reading now super good)
  • Dialogue with Nietzsche
  • Love, Poetry by Paul Eluad (surrealist artist)

So many books so little time to read them all. However, Incarnate is a horror book and it is so good so far. It makes you want to read more and more every night. I am going to attach my pictures from the last couple of days. Also I think I was supposed to talk about something else but I forgot so if I was I will touch on it Wednesday. :-)



The fashion book I won. 
My daughter ha ha.

DIY my own poison ivy costume, should have gotten it 2x bigger.

"Instead of having sex all the time I would like to hold you and not get into some involved discussion of what life means. I want you to tell me something I don't know about you. Something about the day before that photograph in which you're standing on your head." - Eloise Klein Healy

P.S Came back to say that I watch Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving and Christmas special :-)
