you’re beautiful
you wanna walk into the room like that other girl does,
the one that’s always making everybody fall in love
you see, girl, you’re a lot like me
she re-arranges all the light in the room
so you’re always in the shadows,
well, that’s what it feels like to you
baby, i’ve been there too
and i know how much it can sometimes hurt,
you feel like the whole world
has made you the ugly girl
take it from me, you have to see it first
so before you trade in your summer skin for those high heel shoes
to make him wanna be with you
let me remind you one more time
that just maybe you’re beautiful, but you just can’t see
so why don’t you trust me, they’ll see it too
you beautiful girl, you
you wanna lay the blame on somebody else
all those tiny little minds that leave you up on the shelf
but okay, i’ve seen it done that way
just in case nobody ever comes through
riding in to come to your rescue
you still have a chance,
you don’t have to be asked to dance
i know how much you’ve been dying to say,
“look how much everybody loves me”
guess who gets left when everyone else fades away
so before you trade in your summer skin for those high heel shoes
to make him wanna be with you
let me remind you one more time
that just maybe you’re beautiful, but you just can’t see
so why don’t you trust me
they’ll see it too,
you beautiful girl, you

Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin. The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care. Like any other child his curiosity takes hold and he wants to explore this new thing that this man is holding probably because he can see his reflection in it and that’s a neat thing and he wants to check it out. In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.

babies, yeah.
“We have this desire to protect and take care of babies. Babies are cute. We all love babies. But this feeling extends to babies of other species:baby lions, baby dolphins, baby alligators, babybears, baby anything. So it must be deeper thanjust having the urge to take care of our own young. Perhaps it’s the realization that babies of all species are existing in their purest state. Innocence. They have not been hardened by the world yet. And for us, it’s nostalgic because we went through it. And we want to go back to it. A baby wolf is the cutest thing in the world because it’s not worried about survival. It’s only driven by curiosity. The baby wolf changes when its mother, already hardened by survival, teaches it how to kill. And I think we all change when we begin to worry about survival. It hardens us. Makes us nonbelievers in enjoying our time. So naturally, we crave the days when we were innocent little babies because we know we can never go back. Back to that purity. Back to that curiosity. Life prohibits it. So what do we do? We spend our time thinking babies are the cutest things in the world. And where is the place to do that? YouTube.”
