Day 1: Kelly Cutrone's "If you have to cry go outside"

Independent, New York, fashion, party, broke, hard work, just dying to be reborn, struggle, and love.
My interest in her insight has lead me to the above words in just the first 62 pages I accomplished on my travels today. Reading Kelly's thoughts really make you think, and that's what I look for most when picking up a book; especially one written by People's Revolution's own star, fashion producing, and hardworking soul that Kelly has proven to be throughout her life.

This is how you've been imprinted to use

your relationship to power-to use it against yourself.

Every day we create reality based on

what we we've been programmed to believe.So

we spend most of our lives not really thinking

clearly and coherently-not intiatied

thought. We spend a great deal of our lives

not really living, but existing in programmed,

reactive belief that we call thought.

We can blame the oppressor, the 

predatory mindset, we can blame it forever

and it doesn't mind. It doesn't care.

We need to use our energy, our 

intelligence in an alternative way to 

the way we have been using it.

-John Trudell

Stole from the introduction and on the matter of "thinking" or rather thought provoking words, art, or people I very much agree with John's own creatures of his mind in this poem.
