Hug Life

If you haven't figured it out yet, there's two sides to The Mulatto. In actuality there's many more than that, but for any given subject, there's two sides. If we're talking about color, there's the black and the white of it, and so on.

Let's talk about life. What is Hug Life? It's an ode to the late great Tupac Shakur who had Thug Life tatted across the abdomen. It's an homage to hip hop music which he helped to make great. It's the darkness behind that music. It's a dedication to the hood that a lot of us who make and appreciate the music came from.

On the other hand, it's about the good things in life. It's about taking hold of those wonderful things. It's an idea and an action. Hug Life is about that life.. The life of embrace. The life of love for family and friends.. It's also about loving life in general with as simple a gesture as a hug. What it do, life? Gimme a hug.

Not Sure

44th

Yesterday was MLK Jr. Day. Also yesterday, the first black President of the United States was inaugurated as President for a second time. As a product of a relationship between a black man and a white woman I can't help but feel like the stars aligned for a moment. Yesterday indeed felt like something to behold.

GIFs From Me To You

Found this hilarity today:

That inspired me to make this:

Which I intended to set as my twitter avatar but then I realized twitter doesn't allow animated GIFs anymore since September. :( 

Oh well..
