What "Come In" Is All About
So I said to myself that I would be posting something on this day in preparation for a little song I wrote called “Come In” that I’ll be sharing with you all next week. But alas, today’s the day and I’m still not so sure what exactly I should say. I’ll do my best here…
Originally, the premise of “Come In” was inspired by someone I knew who seemed to be going through...

kristenwright:
For a creator, procrastination is very rarely about being lazy. And we know it. It took me half a month to sit down an write down my plans for this EP project—I was afraid. The moment I put my dream on paper, I committed. That’s terrifying. And I wanted to write about this, and it took…

First things first: in the many years that I have followed the man, B.Slade has never been without a plan. Be it the transition from controversial gospel artist to LGBT recording activist or the conceptual intricacies of following up the A Brilliant Catastrophe set with the equally groundbreaking Diesel PROject, B.Slade is ALWAYS planning.

Disclaimer: I’ve made this list of religious obstacles that are in place in my own household that are preventing me from having a completely healthy and happy relationship with my family. Until they are broken down, I’m basically on the path to backsliding and heresy in the eyes of my parents and much of the Christian community. This is my list (some of it is tongue-in-cheek but...

I was reminded again tonight that I can never be back home for too long b/c despite the love & rejuvenation I get after the first week or so, in the long run I become stifled and discouraged in my fight for revolution. Sad but true. On we go.

Who told you you were ugly?
Who told you you were less than?
Who made you feel unimportant?
Who said they were better than you?
Who told you your darkness was unappealing?
Who told you your paleness was unattractive?
Who told you you needed to fit in?
Who made you feel like defending yourself was hopeless?
Who told you to look down on those not like you?
Who told you sexism was the norm?

Anonymous hate is SO funny. Tells more about the anonymous person than the recipient. Being anonymous gets you nowhere. Lay down your cowardice & then maybe we can talk. Til then…fuck all of what you’re about. ;-)
