Hopelessness
I looked through a set of pics on this photographer’s website this morning. The photographer, named Boogie, shot a set of pics on some crack addicts. Bwoy, when I look at how these people are living, I realise I don’t have any problems. Not any worth quarrelling about, anyway. Boogie says, “I guess hopelessness is what I am trying to capture.”. Well, I think he has definitely showcased that very well.
Hear what! I am going to go drink some coffee, get dressed, hug up Natty and trot off to work. While I am doing that, a whole heap of people are doing whatever they can to get another hit off the crack pipe. I feel bad for them… at the same time, Looking at pictures such as these when I am feeling down is therapuetic, in that they make me feel good about myself… not that I am feeling down today still, but I link them here so I can find them easily for just such a day. How do you feel when you look at those pictures?
The link to that photographer’s site was via the Afflicted Yard blog which is also done by a photographer. He has up a link to a set of photos of another of his skinny girls. They look good, the only problem with them is how mawga (flipping skinny) they are. I assume he pays these models…. I hope she uses the money she made to go to Burger King or Kentucky, rasta…
He has a nice little Dobermann still.

I am from Trinidad, I remember one time, some guys were smoking some weed on the block, not too far from my home. I was sitting outside and I was smelling that shit in the air, real strong; I was like….shit, let me go inside before i get high.
I can’t say i ever got close enough to anyone that i know was on crack. But I have seen on the TV, the danger it can do. All I can say, anyone who uses it, is really brave…or stupid.
