"dicen que soy un hippie indescente pero no me importa lo que diga la gente"

i've had this picture for years. i love it. i came across it recently and just felt the need to share. it is believed the incas (whose blood i believe runs vividly in my veins) had a detailed knowledge of cranial anatomy. they used to perform brain scraping procedures and used to remove plugs of patient's skulls to treat head trauma. the incisions in this picture look incredible. perfect, actually. the fact that this was over 500 years ago around 1000 A.D. when inca surgeons had no "proper" education or tools leaves me fuckin baffled. the fact that the only antiseptic they used was maize beer and still had patient survival rates up to 90% positive is unreal. i read somewhere as well, that the incas used to perform brain and other bodily organ transplants and then remove them completely for the sake of sacrifice to the gods. a beautiful destruction? needless to say, i love it.

while we're on the subject:

look at that nose. i like to think its inca, all the way (LOL). i used to be so self-conscious about it when i was younger. i hated it. i thought it was huge and made me look manly. time has allowed me to grew into it because i can honestly say, i love it now. i embrace it even. it's my favorite physical attribute (hence the septum piercing which isnt even the primary reason as to why i got it. i'll leave that for another post of rants and ramblings). it took a long time for me to get to the point where i feel comfortable enough to post a side profile pic like this one. contrary to what many may believe beans is a softee. she is. but its like they say: i'm imperfect. and thats the most perfect thing about me.

which leads me to...

industry sandals on sale at 80spurple.com. originally $103 but marked down to $82.50. they're beautiful. they remind me a lot of the jade stone the maya used to lavish themselves with. if anyone is interested in starting a collection can, im a womens size 7 :) just putting that out there.

i saw this after i orginally posted this entry but i just had to edit it in. seems like everyone is into a bohemian/native american style nowadays (which i highly encourage. anything thats making the youth get in tune with their latin american or native american roots is a thumbs up in my book) ...so i wasnt too surprised when i ran into these. a removable moccasin collar on a pair of leather chucks?! dont know if im personally sold on these. i'd have to see them on my bean-shaped feet, but A+ for effort.

-all for now, beans.
