after trying to fight it. I thought that was supposed to make one feel better.

I\’ve been busy.
Lots of personal shit going on right now, so I\’m laying low.
Anyway.

My homies\’ band decided to web-release/bootleg their first album as they are working on new things (namely Kay\’s solo album on Ali Shaheed Muhammad\’s record label, Garden Seeker) and decided there\’s no use sitting on material.
The Foundation is:
Kay – MC/Producer
Chris \”Daddy\” [...]

Won\’t see him for at least a year, as he\’s moving home after 5 years at Rice to play professional basketball somewhere in Europe (he\’s still undecided). Good people that guy.
For readers in the New York area with nothing to do on Thursday(s):

Batman was amazing. Best comic adaptation ever, in my opinion. I\’m going to have to see this several more times in the theatre, and by several I mean four or more. Everyone was perfectly cast. I came out shaking it was so dope.
That reads pretty gay, but that movie was awesome. [...]

but things are so pleasant and calm and not hectic for a change around me. i\’m getting some of the best sleep i\’ve had in years now. i\’m near my cats. i wake at 5am to play basketball and excercise with my dad every other morning. i get to spend time [...]

I haven\’t responded yet, but this was kind of sobering.
You\’re right about life being isolating, unless you want to be surrounded by Flanderses and Arlington Road types. (I told A about your blog, and how amused I was that you made reference to an obscure Jeff Daniels/Tim Robbins movie from several years ago.) [...]

in progress

I dreamed that my father somehow needed a heart transplant and died during the operation and no one told me until the day after.
In my dream, the operation happened yesterday/last night, and I found out this afternoon from my mother.
In my dream, I felt the biggest hollow in my chest, the way your stomach feels [...]

Such a good read.
The Mike Jones album is pretty cool (as in, I like about 5 songs), but not as hot as the Slim Thug to me (of which, I liked maybe 6 or 7 songs).

Ken Starr
3:43
it\’s like he wants to be a grill beater cause that is what made sense over no id and primo, but now he has kenny g beats and he has to restrain himself from sounding like a real emcee, for fear it might not work well w/ the katelyns
lol

Spring Break ’05
I had a pretty good week. After Atom-bombing an exam in my anthropology class on last last Thursday, I spent the rest of the weekend in San Antonio for Kenneth’s birthday. Laura, Gabe, Kenneth and I spent the day watching the UNC vs. Duke game, and later had fried chicken [...]

I\’m actually writing about my week or so in So Cal for Spring Break, but until then here are a few pictures I managed to scrounge up.
Big up Shawn, James, Andrea \’Girl Girl\’ Chung (when you gonna paint my portrait?), Christa, & the LA YH crew.

For three meals in a row, I\’ve had the same plate from two different Vietnamese restaurants. Starting Friday afternoon at lunch when Anthony and I went to Cali Sandwich across from Houston Community College in midtown after officially registering Oh, So Nappy! UnLtd. as a busy-ness with the county clerk. After lunch and [...]

This is another one of those times in the year where I only write here when I\’m experiencing an extreme-ish emotion. Right now, I\’m on the negative end of the spectrum and am not feeling particularly PC.
A reason I\’m anti-social…
1. I can\’t fucking stand smokers. I\’m not talking about old grampas that smoke [...]

I think Leanne and I will be talking a lot more frequently than we have been since we graduated high school nearly six years ago, and for that I\’m genuinely happy. After not celebrating our birthdays together for the first time ever (as far as I can remember) that I\’ve known her last year, she\’s [...]
