She's Baaaaaaaaaaaack! hahahahaha!

So...I'm making a New Year's 2012 resolution to write in this blog daily...I'm started today--why procrastinate?! I'm just gonna write about whatever gets into this pretty, yet strange, often highly intellectual, yet goofy, little head, and yet big brain of mine! Maybe I'll touch on politics or religion. I'll definitely talk about male/female relationships, and LGBT friendly conversations. You know--well now you do--I'm all about supporting diversity, yet finding unity within our diversities. I like to take photos...so there will be images. I'll share an occasional poem with you. I'll interview artists, writers, musicians, and people of interest. If I watch a film and it moves me somehow, I'll share it.

Here's a link to my fav movie scene ever! crazy ass dance scene in Wild at Heart by David Lynch

I watch documentaries and foreign films that are thought provoking. I watch tripped out films. Sometimes I just like to laugh! I'm compiling a list of some of my favs, so I'll post that here and add to it along the way.

Yesterday, my friend and fellow poet Joyce Conley discussed how we want to take our poetry to the next level. Last August we delivered some empowering spoken word to the guests at a Women's Equality Day dinner to support the NOW National Organization for Women and in celebration of the 19th Amendment giving women the Right to Vote.

Gosh, I just teared up watching that clip, and I don't know if it's cuz I can't stand how dorky I look, or I was actually touched by my own words--I think both! haha! Anyway....Joyce and I would like to participate in more events such as this one to help support non-profit organizations, and be the change we wish to see in the world (as Gandhi suggests!). With our poetry we want to educate and uplift. We are going to begin creating video versions of our poems with the help of Chris Penney--our local bad ass film producer dude! And trust me...we are gonna look way more fly in these videos! We wanna give ya'all something sexy to look at, something silly to laugh at, something cool to listen to (yeah, we'll add some jams) and most importantly SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!

WRITE ON!

Oh...and lemme throw this one in here too where Joyce did a dedication poem for ME!
at the Avant Garde 2434! Love U Gold n Bold girl!

Glad to see some activity! See I told you girls you did great! You did not portrait nervousness. Kudos- Colette and Joyce!

About This Blog

My name is Colette--otherwise known as the Artist CG.

It's my New Year's resolution for 2012 to post in this blog daily. Sometimes I might have a lot to say, sometimes I might just share a photo of the day, or recommend a film I find worthy or entertaining. I'll sprinkle the page with a poem here and there; and interviews with artists, writers, musicians and whoever I find enlightening or amusing!

I'm painstakenly honest. For those who object to my opinions, I suggest you rant in your own blog if you feel the need to vilify me or to redeem yourself--It's what any good rapper would do. haha Seriously though, this is just free flow. What is on my mind that begs to be purged onto the virtual page.

Hopefully, I will be bringing up things that will make people think about their actions, and how they might improve their lives and be more compassionate to others.

Life is difficult. If nothing else, you might feel at home here, and not as alone in your misery. Maybe, I'll even be able to make you laugh a little bit.

Here's to wishful thinking!

If you have a thirst for more...

I post my poetry on Writers Cafe & older poems are posted on Starlite Cafe. I'm on Facebook, and have a fan page. Haven't used myspace much lately, though I used to blog a tiny bit on there. And of course you can Follow Me on Twitter!
