This is the about me blog. Come and get to know me!

I'm just gonna get straight to the point.

My name is Jay ( yes im a guy) nice to meet everyone.

jay is part of my real name. I just dont always feel comfortable using my real name online.

I am 25 years old. So if you're a minor please leave.

Sellers dont come to my blog either. Im not into buying content or drugs.

I was born and raised in the u.s. on the westcoast 🌊🌊☀️🌻🧋🍎

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat 🐶🐶🐱

Not in school atm

Im an artist

so far I just make cartoons and I also do that for my comic book I'm making.

That's the main reason why im on tumblr is to meet other artists, share my work and make friends.

so far I dont have much to share at the moment. majority of my stuff is on paper.

When I have free time I like to read, do puzzles, watch movies, play video games, dance, watch sports, listen to music, hangout with my friends, paint, juggle, meditate.

Favorite movie genre 🎬 : comedy, scifi, adventure, animation, action, history, drama, horror, martial arts, family, fantasy.

Favorite movie: always a tough question cuz I like alot of movies. But I'll just give you a top 5. wizard of oz, robinhood men in tights, brother bear, boys in the hood, trains planes and automobiles.

Favorite music genre 🎶: hiphop, punk rock, classic rock, soft rock, r&b, reggae, electronic, funk, neo soul, jazz, blues.

Favorite song/artist: I feel like for alot of these I just have alot of favorites so thats just gonna be my answer lol

Favorite video game genre: platformer, rpg, fps, casual, and open world.

Favorite types of puzzles: crossword, wordsearch, coloring books, ( for adults ) maze, word association, paint by numbers, connect the dots.

Favorite sports to watch: Basketball, American football, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, handball, flag football, skateboarding, biking, parkour, dodge ball, scootering, breakdancing, volleyball, martial arts, hiking, climbing

And thats probably about it but if you want to get to know me then feel free to ask me anything you'd like. Just don't ask me gross questions lol Just be yourself.

This is pretty much my blog, I just like to talk about random stuff. theres no real theme. Whatever comes to mind thats what I'll most likely post or repost. My other blog @supercoolartfool is about almost everything art related. You can go check that out and give it a follow if youd like. I just keep forgetting to post more over there. so far I just have one post about wander over yander. I plan on posting more over there I've just been busy with my comic.

Also if anyone is interested in hearing about my comics feel free to message me.

Alright I think that's about it. welcome to the blog and I hope you enjoy!

My only rules so far are.

be respectful and kind

no minors

no gross questions or comments

and no sellers.

Anyone wanna be friends?

Preferably people 21 and older.

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

ches

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

[shez-a-b0mbshell]

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

[teddybearnova]

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

[2ollux-double-bulge]

And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media

[the-collecting-turnip-deactivat]

Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole? 

[fgsshinyhoard]

@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:

1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

2. Unknown

3. Nairobi (Kenya)

4. Pretoria (South Africa)

5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)

6. Cape Town (South Africa)

7. Pretoria (South Africa)

8. Harare (Zimbabwe)

9. Windhoek (Namibia)

10. Windhoek (Namibia)

To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa.  So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.

Luanda, Angola

Agadir, Morocco

Lagos, Nigeria

Cairo, Egypt

Port Louis, Mauritius

Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire

Algiers, Algeria

Tripoli, Libya

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Tunis, Tunisia

So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.

I once was talking to my Ethiopian manager about ignorant people asking her dumb shit about her life before she moved to the states…

the worst story she told me about was when she told a fellow student (at a fairly prestigious university) about a concert she went to back home. The other student responded with “omg you have music there!?” 🤦🏾‍♀️

[cricketcat9]

Rebloging, because we need to see these pictures. 

As for stupid questions: “do you have grocery stores in Ecuador?”

[justgot1]

These are great!

A redneck neighbor once asked my mom (in the 80s) if they had cars in Peru. Sigh.

This is the product of poor world history in school & little current affairs coverage outside Western Europe, except for catastrophes, so all we see are the war torn, poverty stricken, disaster-affected parts on the news. And racism, of course.

[lettingitoutabit-deactivated202]

I bet most Americans who think that African countries are just completely poverty stricken have no idea what the US looks like in its poorest areas, not everywhere in the US is nice suburbs or unrealistically large apartments on tv

[for-southendgirls]

Los Angeles, California

Hartford, Connecticut

New Orleans, Louisiana

Camden, New Jersey

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

McDowell County, West Virginia

Flint, Michigan

Washington, D.C.

Do you see the world as it is, or as someone told you it is?

[hogwartsconsultingtimelady]

This photoset proves you can make anywhere look great or terrible. It’s all framing and more people should know about that

[gamebird]

Worth a reblog. I don’t think the US version was on there when I first reblogged.

[fanfictionsrookie]

Also, do remember that Africa is a continent not a country!

[kaijulord]

Spread the word!

[thejayblog]

And sadly its not just africa either. there are some people that believe places like india for example is just one big third world country. when its not really the case. there are certain cities that are not as wealthy as others but that doesnt mean the entire country is poor. We gotta spread the word outside of tumblr. share it on other social media platforms and in person.
