The Artist's Alexandria

2010-08-22T09:49:00.000-07:00

My girlfriend Ashley and I were talking, and we began discussing an institution where artists can gather and better their craft with other artists and have a lot of different benefits for aspiring artists. Painters sculptors photographers all of us. I had in the past told her my idea for the skinny hippie gallery but this put an even nicer prespective into place. Were working diligently daily on the structure of the institution it will be nothing short of legend .

UNDEATHABLE

You... you have stripped from me my dignity... you have misused and abused me, taken me for a fool, you have silenced me, and stripped me of my voice, my human rights as a being with your laws and legal system, with your bailouts, health care,& your patriot acts you have crippled me, you have poisoned me and tainted me with your welfare pretend money- you have destroyed my spirit with your religion and sadism, you...

You taught me that assimilation was the only way to freedom, that if i stood out i was a threat, and unacceptable, that being different will hinder me and i will not be tolerated if even attempted to be eclectic in any way... YOU..

You gave me HOPE, and BELIEFS that you yourself did not have.. YOU!! you programmed me and uploaded your propaganda into me as if i were a machine, and as i marched to the melody you played as you pulled my strings with the rest of the mechanical mannequins, i had a THOUGHT. no not one of the THOUGHTS you had planted one of my own... i thought of how those before me fought, for what was in their hearts... I THOUGHT of how they never quit until their death.. I THOUGHT that even though you've stripped me of my ALL, i still had my HEART and SOUL..and with my indignifyied truths, my undying drive, and my Defiant spirit-I who gave birth to your machine, unconsciously mothering a monster and holding it up as a prized possession ... I ReVolt against YOU and i destroy those lies you fed me labeled as truths..YES WE CAN be FREE, for MY BUSINESS IS OF MANKIND, not oppression , lies deception manipulation and SLAVERY, I am prepared for death for I am more than merely flesh blood and bone, I represent an IDEA, and IDEAS are UNDEATHABLE!!

Mama, mama, mama these demons got me- Jesus trynna drop me and The Devil trynna hot me- God told me God aint real and the chariops trynna lock me- i am the devil and i am the christ, i am the fire and i am the ice- i am the halo and i am the horns, i am the sheild and i am the sword- nothing here i feel- nothing here is real, nothing runs smooth everything has friction-and u have no freewill 5 is really 4 and four is really one, march to the sound of my own beating drum, warrior- mahatma shalom the great spirit of Peace, sun sets west and rises in the east we catch it somewhere in between the middle, observing the assimilated assemble, society of mechanical mannequins, pulled with the stings weaved by the vatican...whats really happenin. See Jesus jacked me for my fitted and Satan stole my sneakers, the demons took my jeans and the angels got my tee shirt-and all my money goes straight to the preacher, you make it rain, you make it pour- you make a house, you make a porsche- u make a escalade, with 13intvs in the headrests and floors- and a christian missionary just missed her world tour and im glad-you made all that and you aint made a meal for the poor, but you made a mill for the pour now its swallowing the floor, so tell me what you stand upon- heaven or hell, prison or jail, earth or mars, attention tiny vessels- Death is fiction, life is friction, thats just the beginin...We are The Christ, question all dont listen.

The Society of Mechanical Mannequins

2009-12-20T07:36:00.001-08:00

There has become much heaviness laid upon my heart, rather my soul/spirits feel burdened by unjust actions and much practiced fictions in out reality. The mechanical mannequins of out poorly oiled "society" are not freewilled, and it is incredibly perplexing yet fascinating how the the robots were robbed of their organic beingness (humanity) there are only few freethinkers amongst you. Most of society act as the gears, cogs and pulleys to keep this giant functioning. Ask questions you Mechanical Mannequins, question your knowledge...Why is it that every, messiah and savior was born of a virgin? Birthed on dec. 25th? Died and was resurrected... Why? Every journey starts with a question, most men haven't even left their home.

The Experiment

2009-12-05T06:33:00.000-08:00

This here said Aries really is a Gemini, you thought was just you and I, but really it was ten of I. And subconsciously i split it so you only got five of I, and i flowed em so well that you saw 2 of I. Memorize- i said i only saw things in black and white- no gray in I- that my love was a riddled lie. A centered guy, but the prince demon of my soul has a slicker mind- and censored I, subtracted everything you hated and invented I who really was invented twice it was a lot of ME's you was misled by, Manipulation at its finest, you can call Everett your highness, you couldn't see it through your blindness cuz Love had possession of your eyelids, and while ya eyes was wide closed a paper heart i composed- painted red filled with holes for your young hands to have to hold, you see i opened up your nose and gave you hell to inhale, you enjoyed the taste of evil so much you were enticed by the smell...

Science teaches you that you are an animal a mammal, but i am a machine everything ive seen has been from my panel- and there is a 30 minute lag, so i am in the future in my lab- i am an evil scientist, corrupted by your mindlessness, it was an experiment you were the subject and the teacher, i diagnosed your every flaw studied your tears in a beaker, and in my studies and my research, we never were compatible, but i did learn how to manipulate and how to handle you, how to lose your attention and regain your interest, its simpler than turning on a stove in the kitchen "Kid", i knew if i only got a moment i could wrap chains round your heart and possess you, i am a evil genius- doesn't this impress you...

I never loved you never and it took this long to admit it, i stand firm on these words not one thought omitted- i had you by the arteries- Facebook as my witness, no one man could compare to my sickness, 2 years my senior they said i couldn't do it, i didn't think so neither- to myself i had to prove it- Vol. 1 was impressive next time ill pass on Vol. 2 its not hard to pretend to a being that you care- after a little practice those feelings will eventually be there, a message to the newbies just warning from the start "Love Everett with your mind girl, not ya heart"

Jam Safe House for Runaway Youth.

2009-11-23T10:36:00.001-08:00

My church (Jesus Anointed Ministry) has started an initiative to get a safe house for run away and homeless teen/kids and I was asked to assist in the fund raising, seeing that i am the owner and operator of GOD'S LABEL CLOTHING, i have two ways you can help, you can make a donation here, or buy a Shirt and a portion of your proceeds will go towards the cause.

The safe house will benefit all of the city, and will not be the only one we open, just the first, imagine a safe haven for the children ran by real people, and the church, where we are all one family, there has been countless times my church family has been there for me this entire year, when i didn't have food, when i was homeless they were there for me. When i contemplated suicide my pastor was there for me, when my mother wanted nothing to do with me, my church was there for me, and i want the rest of the youth, in this community to have that same support. This Safe House will offer that to the youth of Detroit so I implore you to give, give whatever you can, 5 dollars ten dollars whatever it may be, and tell your family and friends to do the same.

Who is The Devil

2009-11-21T15:05:00.001-08:00

The Devil. What is that? I don't understand. Another Invisible being who controls the underworld? A trouble maker, someone who gives you thoughts of Evil? The scapegoat of all mankind I suppose. Your books make many mentions of "his" Evil doings. I've never seen your alleged "Devil" I've seen you. I saw you shooting innocent children, I saw you raping women, I saw you hanging Blacks, I saw you committing Genocide, I saw you dropping bombs to kill thousands for Oil, I saw you cheating on your wives and husbands, I saw you, I saw man. I saw you plan, plot and scheme, i saw excommunications to free thinkers, i saw you selling poison to your own people for profit and "self" gain. I suppose The Devil made you do it all though.

I watched on from the television set in my High School class room as the Twin Towers fell... I saw no Devil. I saw Man. I saw all that man had reaped being sown. I saw his thoughts and plans flourish and manifest into the physical plane from his thoughts to his plans to paper to the actual- I saw you MAN. Your ideals of divinity are lucid as the dream that Martin had expect it's on the opposite polarity. You have failed yourselves with you idea of the Devil! you the murderer, you're the Devil, you the rapist, you're the Devil, you the thief, YOU ARE THE DEVIL. This fictitious being is nothing more than the collective thoughts, plans and actions of people who have a moment of pure selfishness. What is sin but Ignorance to the truth of the laws, "don't touch the stove Johnny" You operate in fear of something you've never seen, how beautiful... The Devil, Satan is a parable in it's self look into the mirror and you will find your DEVIL.

Examine your thoughts, and you will find your Devil, Make record of your Actions and you will find your Devil with in yourself. I do not deny the existence of evil, hear me clearly, i deny you programing that one single entity holds all the evil within it's tiny vessel collectively as a whole, that sounds utterly absurd, foolish. Thoughts & Actions you are the evil force you fear, when you deceive, mistreat, harm, destroy, and act selfishly. Just as you ARE the church, just as GOD Dwells with in you, so does your Devil. Your Idea of Satan is false. Think. if there was this single being - harming us would your ideal of your "GOD" destroy it? Oh I know, Satan is here to test man, right? My friend you are your test, hence the reason you have freewill and reasoning! You create the evils of the world, you create the good, you sons of Adam and daughters of Eve have created all this you see. Everything that is here physically began as thought. Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Attila the Hun these men were not possessed by a Devil, no rather their own thoughts and obsessions.

You are the slave and the master. it all starts in your mind. I do not expect anyone to accept my Ideals, concepts or Philosophies, no. I just want you to question your programing to become FREETHINKERS.

Thank You all for your eyes and Time.

Just Be GOOD.

2009-11-20T18:39:00.000-08:00

Foolish, all "Great" things are not "Good". The justification of good itself is a parable. Is the atheist Evil because the same thoughts are not shared that you possess? What the atheist considers good and what you consider good are one and the same. the atheist just has enough intellect and reasoning to have his ethics and moral beliefs based on common sense and the value of Human life opposed to Religion and Faith. While the Muslims and the Christians debate on whether Jesus was GOD's son or not, the atheist, heathen, and secular men and women are active in their communities seeking change according to your philosophy and faith "who would be considered the Heathen"?

It was Socrates who was executed for not worshiping the gods in ancient Rome. Understand this though, his stance wasn't that the gods didn't exist rather it was the mis-worship of them. His stance was on Good and Evil, just because the gods approve of something doesn't mean it is good. Goodness isn't arbitrary, things must be good in themselves, not because someone says they are.
We as humans do too many things for a general cause or purpose rather seen or unseen, why not just do something because it is good, because it will genuinely benefit human kind and it's life. When ever i speak of my studies of the Torah, The Qur'an, The Kybalion, and countless other belief systems that have divine claims, i am questioned. Well today i implore you, the same way you question me, i would like you to question self, question what you were raised to believe, use your reasoning and intellect. Are your acts of true sincere goodness to your fellow man or of self gain or perhaps out of fear of the invisible giant who resides in the sky who you call GOD who will send you to a place he invented called Hell after your supposed "Death".

For all walks of Faith/Life i leave you with this my friends whom all i love. The only thing in this world that has been proven is that of karma, you reap what you sow, if i water a plant and give it sun, it will flourish and grow but if neglected it withers away. This undeniable law is prevalent is all religious text and in life in general, the more you put in to something the more you will receive from it, when all else fails and you feel lost, don't seek a hero in the form of GOD Jesus, Allah, Krishna, Buddha or whom ever you worship, Just be GOOD.

Thank you for your eyes and your time.
Everett D. Weathersby "The Black Kennedy"

Karma

2009-11-20T10:02:00.000-08:00

It's evident in every "Religion" you reap what you sow, that's the concrete center piece of all the laws of the universe, you get a return on everything you invest in. All of your negative and condescending thoughts come back, all of your positive thoughts come back, every dirty deed, every hurtful thing, The Universe is bring it back like a boomerang, know this. This law runs consistently through every piece of divine manuscript ever written. its unavoidable. so i implore you all be conscious of what you're investing in my friend.

Last Night

2009-11-20T09:50:00.000-08:00

Closure! a lot of us never get that, i finally got it last night yummy! my ex and I had been going back and forth forever, and i finally got closure, if you're in my circle you know my latest text message signature has been "4th Chakra broken" not in the sense of being sad... no, i felt nothing for no one, and i needed to re-center my self (tons of meditation) you all know im in tune with the universe and im a very spiritual person, ive had many opps to be with new women but aye, whats opportunity with out quality right? That closure was good for the soul, mind and body. i woke up this morning on my brother's couch (where im crashing at) and i felt my peace return to me... F.Shalom

I'm a busy guy, but i need love too, when I'm not submerged in my work i like to relax, read a book or spend time with a beautiful woman, who i can relate to. But can she respect the fact that i have a life, the fact that I'm an artist... If you really love me, you can except this, if not you're selfish that is, and think everything about you. I don't really know exactly how to address this, i just know its the reason why I've had to let go a lot of good women. Respect the Artist ladies, we are a different breed of being...

2009-11-06T12:41:00.000-08:00

St. Lucifer

Have you ever wondered how a conversation with Lucifer would go? I know most of you would consider it to be filled with temptation and pressure to do wrong. Our feature artist today Everett "Flaco Shalom" Weathersby saw it different and in seeing it as such he wrote an entire play and short film called "Thicker than Water" giving a deep description of the relationship Jesus and Lucifer had before his fall from the Heaven, slated for release in April of 2010 it is something that a lot of Detroiters are anticipating. Everett goes by the name Flaco Shalom to a lot of people who know him; he is the Owner and Head designer for GOD'S LABEL clothing, a brand that focuses on religious text and illustrates its many messages into iconic clothing. When asked where he got the inspiration to do this play and short film, he told us "It's simply a expression of duality, I want people to understand that Lucifer wasn't always evil, he was GOD's most favored angels, but his vanity and arrogance caused him to fall." The main focus of this Independent film is the relationship Jesus and Lucifer had, Lucifer in this story has a very complex character indeed. Thicker than Water is nothing short of epic along with being controversial, Everett expects much backlash from the churches but he hones himself as being an artist before all things and this is merely expression to him. "I've never let anyone silence my expression, because at the end of the day that's all I have is my voice." Casting calls start in December for the Film and Play no other details have been released but Everett did give us this 30 second Commercial, enjoy.

Jesus can't save you. Life starts after church ends...

2009-10-24T23:05:00.001-07:00

"Jesus can't save you. Life starts after church ends..."

Lets think rationally, and in depth before we react or judge, logically...

Okay you've had your moment.

I was asked how i felt about this statement. Well to be honest, i whole heartedly agree with it. Perhaps not in the pretence in which it was stated, but because of the depth of the actual statement. A wise man once asked me "How old do you would be if no one ever told you your age?" This question posed a inquiry of growth and maturation. What have you learned? And further more, how have you applied what you have learned to your daily life to help you progress? It is vital to keep a student mentality through all walks of life. That being stated, the question i ask is how have you applied the teachings of this great Rabbi and Savior to your life, if at all. Do you show love and forgiveness to your enemies? Is your faith true, and unfaltered? Are you slow to anger? Are you a cheerful giver? Etc etc. After you are dismissed from Church (class) it is your job to exercise these teachings daily, many of you don't do your homework though. Let it be known, it is not Jesus running around saving people, peoples actions lead them to where they are, have you forgotten that we reap what we sow? Everything you put into life, you get back. Its law, it says in your bible that the wicked and the righteous are both blessed a like. Too many see Yeshua(Jesus) as a caped crusader patrolling the world for trouble and bailing you out of situations that you placed yourself into. You're wrong. Your understanding of the spirit and how it moves is warped if you think it works that way. Students of the Word, study, apply and grow. It is time to mature, Jesus said we will do greater things than he did. How can you do that if you've yet to learn the basic practices? When Jesus performed miracles, he always stated that it was done by faith that he, just as we, possess the same power God does because he dwells with in us, just as he dwelled with in him. No Jesus cannot save you, he gave us the power to save our selves, and he gave us "The Blueprint" to obtain that power and authority...

Gay Rights Speech: What Should Obama Say On Saturday?

2009-10-10T10:56:00.001-07:00

It isnt a point of what President Obama should say it's a point of what his first action will be after this speech, i believe the 'dont ask dont tell' bill should be addressed, because that and gay marriage seem most important at this time, and it isnt to just 'shut them up' i dont want the wrong message to be received from this comment. It's about what has been long over due for the gay community as far as their rights are concerned, i do believe there were grander issues at hand as far as world affairs are concerned and getting our Nation back on track which did delay the immediate action of changing that bill over and passing a bill for homosexual marriage to be legal. This doesnt mean that the gay community should just wait quietly though, because that will lead them to having nothing, we must be reminded of rights as humans not social classes the gay community is an essential force in our great nation that should neither be neglected nor ignored.

This will definitely ruffle some feathers on this team, with Mr.Limbaugh's past of not to friendly comments toward the African-American community there has already been talks of Players quitting the team if he gains ownership, remarks such as 'I will not be owned" have been thrown around, and conflict will be inevitable- this will bring negativity amongst other thing not only to the Rams but the NFL as well. i find it mind blowing that this man who said segregation should be re-introduced want to have ownership in a business that consists of mostly Blacks.

US Blocks Drilling At 60 Sites In Utah -- Approval Process Under Bush "Mishandled"

2009-10-09T17:25:00.001-07:00

I'm going to have to agree with you. although this small, step is being taken we still bring up the issue of the "reserves" we have that we wont touch because we know big business banks on foreign oil it's all tied in together. We need to start using cleaner energy sources not only for our environment but also for the welfare of the citizens, it will generate millions of jobs, and help make our planet better, its a win win situation, but again the lobbyist and big business gotta eat so we fail.

Obama Nobel Peace Prize Hailed In Kenya As A "Win For Africa"

2009-10-09T11:41:00.001-07:00

I completely understand why a lot of people would be upset or angry with President Obama winning this award, and so many other candidates could have won who may 9in their eyes) done more than President Obama has done. Although President Obama has done a lot himself the potential things he can do, which he is priming preparing and setting up is what won him this award, and those actions in transition with prove to be greater than those of his opponents who did not win.

i agree that religion is the root of most if not all wars and conflicts- when a group of people get together and they all have one belief they tend to brainwash each other into thing very irrationally..

On The matter of Hope and Faith...

2009-10-05T16:34:00.000-07:00

Id rather be in total and utter despair, than to have any of your doubt filled Hope... -Everett D Weathersby

Hope is nothing but watered down Faith, but what is Faith in the first place? Some would call it a strong sense of belief in those things that are unseen. I cannot agree with that, for even the word 'belief' itself is flawed, is it not? When you say you believe something is true do you not leave room for uncertainty or doubt? Yes, indeed you do. Faith is doubtless, Faith is nothing like 'hope' or 'belief' no on the contrary Faith is 'Knowing' Faith is 'reliance' there can be no doubt in faith for in the very instance that you doubt, your Faith is faltered, thus you yourself will be the reason you fail. I have met defeat many of times on many different occasions and she is the reason i have perfected many of my skills, for the lessons she has taught and the desire i have of not seeing her ever again. I come to you today encouraging you to 'Progress' or 'Advance' your ways of thinking. Have no Hope, i encourage you to feel and to be Hopeless! Rather be filled with Faith, in Knowing you have already succeeded, Claim your Victory, for in the very moment you do so, will also be the moment you obtain it!

On the matter of Change and Progress

2009-10-04T20:13:00.000-07:00

Too many people are focused on "C H A N G E" when they should be focused on "P R O G R E S S."

True, and truer still... When things go wrong don't we all wish we could just go back and do things "differently"? Many of us are to swift to beg for 'change' why? If things change we just start all over again do we not? Clean slate, but new obstacles will still lye ahead of us with this new 'scenario' we have 'changed' to, so i implore you Humans Doing, seek 'progress' get to the root of your situation, learn it, JFK once said that "an error is only an error when you do not attempt to resolve it" seek solutions to the problems opposed to deserting them all together, a wise man once said "what is an obstacle to one is a window of opportunity to another" if you travel to a 3rd world country and see everyone in poverty no shoes barely getting by, what will your thoughts be? "this is sad, how can they live this way?" mines would be to sale them shoes! Stray away from the reset button.. Many are complacent, and stagnant, stuck in the same vicious cycle and they don't even realize it, analyze your life and situation, seek progress and you will gain wisdom, in turn GOD will give you Victory on each side and Increase your wealth.

On the matter of Wealth

2009-10-04T16:12:00.000-07:00

Perhaps you don't know what the consequences are for irresponsibility.. I for one do, so i am here to explain them to you. It is simple in all actuality for every action, there is an equal (if not greater) re-action this is true in both the spiritual and physical realms. My friend, your priorities need not be confused with, your desires, for in the instance that they do- well to put it in laments terms " your world will come crashing down". Be clear in all things you do, make sure you have a full understanding. There is a grand difference between being "busy" and "working" the moment you recognize the difference between the two, i promise you'll double your productivity and success. Too many times have i witnessed people working along side with the devil himself and not even realizing it, caught up in their daily routine of confusion and debauchery, i too have fell, prey to this and it was only by the swift and merciful hand of GOD almighty that I realized the fruitless labors i had done. JFK once said it is not what America can do for you, but what you can do for America, the same should be said of GOD, it is not what GOD can do for you but what you can do for GOD, he is a GOD in need of laborers, for the harvest is great! Many only want the fruits but are not willing to put forth the labor, no man can be what he is not. You earn every dime, and every meal. These are the laws GOD has put forth since man was kicked out of the garden of Eden, so i implore you, earn all that you wish to possess, there are no short cuts to life, the wicked who have many possessions that recieved them in ungodly ways will pay for them with eternal damnation. Do not sell your soul for a moment in the spotlight, just because you grow tired of living humbly when GOD has clearly stated in his word that our riches are not here but in Heaven...

Blessed is The Beggar, Praised is The Wealthy

2009-10-03T12:04:00.001-07:00

"Blessed is the beggar, praised is the wealthy." - Everett D. Weathersby

I've seen them on the same corners that i gave sermons on, the beggars and the wealthy, i watched them both as i spoke, one draped in rags the other draped in cashmere, as i preach God's word, "it is easier for a camel to pass through a eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of Heaven" although they praise the rich man, because he is great, but he is not good. Who are we to place our strength in but God himself? You shouldn't look up to anyone, for at the time you look up to someone you look down on others, when i share my wisdom, one is inspired, and my words fall on the deaf ears of the other. Why do we embrace the rich? People we rarely see in person? When the povertized surround us daily? Are we blind to the needy? Have we become so obsessed with money and power that we over look those in need of us? I implore you Humans, help your fellow man, honor thy neighbor and be a good Samaritan.. Its your responsibility as Humans Doing...

The Death of Princes

2009-10-03T08:09:00.000-07:00

"When beggars die there are no comets seen; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes" -Julius Caesar

After reading this quote, I have a whirlwind of thoughts rebuttals and, counter quotes i felt as if i needed to express, on the behalf of mankind, the middle class, and the financially oppressed, but as I read deeper into this quote from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" , I thought to my self, rather, I reminded myself, that wealth is of the heart and not of the pocket. You see, a beggar, in essence is one who has no work ethic, has a broken spirit, or is poor in spirit, they just have no more "FIGHT" left in them.. One who quits neither succeeds nor fails, there is no outcome, there is no glory, there is no victory, there is no defeat. Those who quit would be categorized as cowards, not fit for the battle that life and love is. I for one believe in Peace not war, Happiness not Anger , Love not Hate, and Life not Death, but being a person from my type of upbringing it was hard to hold tight to these beliefs, opposed to just giving up, but i didn't believe in "giving up" i would prefer Failure (which I do not condone) because through failure a lesson is learned for the next battle that life gives us. As of late there has been a lot of Death and Murder surrounding us, Countless slayings all over America, as well as the rest of the World, do not be discouraged, at this moment as I type this memoir, there are Chicagoans preparing themselves for a rally against violence, at this moment as I type this memoir there are individuals still giving reference to Gandhi's Birthday which was yesterday by spreading Peace and Love to their fellow man. It is our Responsibility as Humans to feed the Body and the Spirit of those in need, for neither one can exist without the other. I implore you Humans today and this day forward to go forth and edify the spirit of Courage, Strength, Peace and Vigilance in every being that you meet on your day to day travels, thus having Heaven be a blaze for every passing soul from this world to the next.
