i spend an inordinate amount of time surfing the web. most recently, i have made a promise to myself to curb some of this unnecessary browsing, in an effort for self-preservation and time management. i tell myself that most of it is ‘research.’ and that i must figure out what my  ’competitors’ are doing and to stay on top of my game. in reality, i think that there is just so much out there to get caught up in.  today’s mindless discovery centered on beyonce possibly playing angela davis in a biopic. really? don’t get me wrong, i actually think she is super talented.. and has most likely secured her spot in the hall of fame for her dancing/singing. but acting.. hmm? i thought she did a relatively decent job as etta james and found her entertaining in dream girls. but angela? well, since my blog is not a gossip site, i will let that conversation dissipate.

but i did find an amazing old image of angela davis on the cover of newsweek. and if anyone has time, they should pick up a copy of ‘are prison’s obsolete?’ a relevant and intelligent piece of literature written by ms. davis, in which she argues for a transformation of society as a whole and the abolition of society systems that are deemed to fail.
