Real talk... I care about politics, but this years Presidential Election is pretty much the prefect example of media overkill. At this point, I seriously don't want to hear Clinton, Obama, McCain or any political analyst say another muthafuckin word until at least Oct 1st. Right now I don't want any of them to be president cause I'm already tired of all the bullshit they are talkin. Here is the reality it will basically take whoever ends up in that office until the end of their first term to even get us back to something remotely normal after everything Bush has done. Overexposure is killing this election, which isn't good.
I think we all need to take an extended summer break. (I know the conventions are in August... zzzzzzzzzzzzz) Then we will regroup at the end of September like we are going back to school, and maybe by that time we will have forgotten all of their bullshit (like when we were in school), and so that their new bullshit can sound brand new. Bad idea?

My absolute favorite moment is music is when the drums kick in on "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. Those drums are hard and still kick more than most!

Under most lighting, the hair on the top of my head (or rather what is left of it) look gray or really really blond... i'm not sure how i feel about this.

Even tho most of it is computer generated, wouldn't it be hilarious if there were actually people sitting in front of computers sending out Spam emails? Imagine them having to come up with new subjects like these for every message they send out:
"She will taste more of you"
"Gun her good gun her well"
"Boobs so big it spills over"
"I was'horny'"
"no more squirt squirt whoops love, last longer in bed!"
On a different not, are there actually people who open these emails thinking they are going to be really informational? Like who is sitting there saying, "Yes, i do have some "squirt squirt whoops love" issues. Maybe this will be helpful"???

Getting a permit at the Building Department is like a legal trial. Evidence is presented and either party tries to argue if it is or isn't acceptable. And in the end you either walk free with the permit or you are given a mistrial and have to start again.

Most of the time when I'm listening to Hip Hop these days there is one quote that keeps popping up in my mind: "You've got to have style. Be original." (c) The Blastmatser KRS-One
The other day I was talking to my homegirl at work about the state of design and art today. For the most part we were talking about how it seems like a good majority of design, art and music seems half-assed. Liked people are scared to try something really new. We eventually got to the subject of Hip Hop. She kinda feels the same way that most people feel today, which is that Hip Hop sucks on the mainstream level. For the past few years I've heard a lot of people say Hip Hop sucks or Hip Hop is dead... hell I've said it a few times. But the truth is that Hip Hop isn't dead... it is just missing "effort."
A lot of people say I'm stuck in the Golden Era because I still consider many of those emcees, producers and DJs to be the best that ever did it. Real talk i don't want to go back to 88-95. We had that time... we can never get back to the feeling of that time... what I want is for rappers, producers and DJs to put some effort in this again. A lot of people feel like: Spit a few clever lines x a simple drum track = I got money!! It is true that over the past 10 years this has been the formula for success by many, but at the same it it has made a lot of people feel like this shit has become pointless after all the years so many people worked to make this an orginal/challenging art form. There is a lot of dope Hip Hop out there, but sadly it gets crushed by the half-assed bullshit that the mainstream seems to accept. Mentally I'm from a time when if you weren't trying to make something fresher than the next (instead of just copying)... you were wack. period. Thats the point. Hip Hop is long from being dead because there are many many artists still putting in the effort to make something dope... i'm just hoping that sometime soon the mainstream recognizes it.
