Everybody it seems- from Al Queda to this mysterious Nigerian dude who was flying from Amsterdam to Detroit. Do you, my friend? Well thanks to extra extra evasive security scanners you can now see the hair fibers on a persons skin, through their clothes. Maybe an exaggeration but yo they had to fade out stuff in this video because it was too up close and personal. Some people have hard times taking their clothes off in front of their personal doctor, let a lone in front of random security hot shots at an airport. Check how violated we may be allowed to become. Why must these terrorists acts affect my dignity? Plus pay attention to how much they are going to pay for these scanner machines that can reveal you naked. What's next?

Appreciate the loving people in your life that make this an actual holiday!

Now, let's do some extra curricular work and figure out what this really means.You know us dumb Americans don't really know what's going on in the political world. It just moves so fast and quiet frankly facebook is more interesting. lol. Just ask the thousands maybe millions of people on facebook as we speak, right now. I hope you get the irony. Watch! More to come.

My creative juices are flowing and since I'm snowed in, what better thing to do than to get to painting. Thank goodness I went to Michael's last week because it looks like it's going to be quite a bit of time inside. 21 inches of snow has me stuck! Here's my progress:

OK. More is here already :) And it looks like I'm on this Bob Marley trip. Well I have and after tomorrow it'll probably be done. Don't they look dope though. Maybe I'll make some change off of these. 

No. But he may be affecting his sponsors money. Better yet his own money is being affected right now. These are some everyday people explaining their thoughts on Tiger now, think about this in terms of spending money on products associated with him, leaving the television on the channel when you see him playing or talking, encouraging your child to wear Tiger products... yea, yea I know these are crazy acts but believe me people will think twice about it. 

OK so if you don't know about the Tiger Woods scandal by now, come on, where you living? Under a rock? 

To brief you, Tiger Woods got caught up. Caught up in a sex circle, with quite a few women. And now, he's paying his wife some millions to stay with him for another 24 months. She's threatened to move the kids and herself to Sweden but I'm sure that money will keep her hasty booty still (at least for the year). 

And Tiger has barely said a word to anyone, hiding under his golf bag, praying this would all go away. Everybody has Tiger in their mouth- tiger this, tiger that. Sucks to have happened to such a popular/ man in history and life, period. No one would have ever expected, which I know is making this news even bigger.

This came up in a discussion with a friend: 
Her: Now if this was another golfer, we would have barely heard about it. He probably would have kept all his sponsorship deals and took close to no flack for it. 
Me: I agree, to an extent. I know it would be different if another golfer was to be caught up like this but Tiger is on a whole nother stratosphere when it comes to prominence, clout and success. So a reason why he may be being treated differently is because of that. 

So that somewhat explains why he's losing sponsors. But yo, why so many? He just got caught doing something millions of men and women do everyday. Half those business executes in those same offices Tiger is losing sponsorship from are probably doing the same thing, they just haven't gotten caught yet.

Is this the type of "Fat Cat" Obama is referring to when he speaks of the bankers that aren't lending to us poor folk? lol. This certainly, somewhat, resembles the image posted in my head right now. I think of the fat bonus checks they are going to receive, if not already. Can you imagine getting a 20 million dollar bonus after asking the government to save your business or corporation. What? In my world if I lose money, over spend or just plainly don't make any... I don't receive any! :(

Yo yo world, how goes it? As we all know the economy sucks big time. If people aren't scrambling for their next penny their probably arguing about their lack of pennies period. I'm sure divorce rates are going up as we speak. ha. The funny thing is, is that the cost of living stays the same; nothing is lowering. I went to Wal-mart last week, and for one, half their isles were empty (which has nothing to do with my point) and two, I noticed packaging was smaller and more simplistic. Bread for example, the bag felt so light- meaning they lowered the amount of materials they used to make the bag. Two, it only read "Bread," it may have read special Wal-mart brand but nevertheless that's all that was on it. And for all we know they may have jipped us out of a few oats and grain. It did look a little light in color :). 

So these companies can continue to reap the benefit of having the same items with cheaper packaging. Sure the cost of their materials went up but sure looks like they solved that problem by buying less materials but then selling it to us at the same price. Ugh. Makes me want to boycott, not just Wal-Mart but this oppressive economical system we live in. 


Underground Tree Projects understands that, because I understand that. So my hope is to accommodate those in need, afterall I seek and want the same type of services myself. What happened to helping your neighbor out? Yea, yea I know it was simpler before we knew child molesters, serial killers and vindictive crazies existed but yo we can't let fear control our success. 

Maybe we can persuade people to value life and it's artistic beauty and think less of money with the sole lust of greed in mind. I'm a firm believer in making money off of doing things you love. Do what you love; love what you do!

Art is a life form.... expose your roots!
