I'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.
years orange individuality
When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear. They asked me which one is different and does not belong; they taught me different was wrong.
wall blow wind
Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.
fighting occupy-movement needs
I've been saying the Occupy Movement has got the ball rolling, and now we need to take the fight to the great indoors!
thinking
If you turn on the TV, you're going to get a certain palate, and if you go looking underneath the surface, there's a whole lot of stuff there that I think a lot of our generation would be really interested in.
missing stuff looks
When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things...

I walk like I'm on a mission 'cause that's the way I groove. I got more and more to do and less and less to prove.
eye glasses soul
The windows of my soul are made of one-way glass, don't bother looking into my eyes if there's something you want to know, just ask
believe people feminist
I just don't know any other word than "feminist" that describes a person who believes women are people.
beauty moving causes
I don't take good pictures 'cause I have the kind of beauty that moves.
