Imperfectly Perfect

May you fly beyond the realms where butterflies do.

Woke up to the news that the great Muhammad Ali was on life support so I wanted to do a little tribute drawing of the head shots to wish him well only to find out minutes later after I was done that he had passed away, my heart was heavy for awhile but then I remembered that he is no longer in anymore pain and suffering from his condition. 

My thoughts are with his family and my memories are with him, he inspired millions and I believe he will inspire millions more.

“Rape is a criminal act whatever the circumstances. A woman riding the subway nude may be guilty of indecency, but she may not be raped. If she invites or even sells sex at 10 and refuses it at 10:45, the partner who disregards her refusal and forces sex is guilty of rape. If she is drunk, asleep, mentally defective, paralyzed or dead, she must not be raped. Why? Because sexual congress must be by consent.”

- Author Toni Morrison, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for Literature

Most shows will say “Be yourself!  Then girls will love you for you and you will have so many girlfriends!  So many!”

It’s another disappointing message to young boys that teaches them they are entitled to women.  That “hey just be you and you get girls, neat!”

Tino’s mom takes the time to say “No, be yourself because yourself is who you should be.  It won’t necessarily get you girls, some of them still won’t be interested but the most important thing is you like yourself.”

Stop pretending to care about her for some pussy.

Stop lying to her for some pussy.
