eck. nearly everything i put in comes out. the triscuits seem to be doing well so far. wanted to go on a little bit about the weekend, and hearing donald miller speak (fantastic) but will put it off.

finally picked up fila brazillia’s “Dicks”…the usual loveliness. it had been so long since i was back at their site i didn’t realize that they offer download purchases of their albums. paid about 15$ less than i would have had i ordered it from amazon.com.

also got the new single “Dejected, Gumby and Wiped, Ltd.”…ah here we go. for an entire 6 seconds i couldn’t hear anything.

kicking back once again,

i be.

so talking to my boy chris, and he alerted me to the fact that wednesday he tried to call to let me know that the KRS-ONE show we’d been continuiously talking about was then…so we both missed it! for one i’m annoyed that the show was on a wednesday. be hating midweek shows…then the fact that there were no flyers passed out at the Qbert show about his apperance (which is where he first told me about it)….hope it was live.

a beats + rhymes synopsis of 50 cent’s “massacre”, based on a cursory listen.

aight i have to say that beat wise, very nice joints. a little more grimey than i would have thought…sampled drum kits permeate more of the tracks than i would have originally thought, along with thick musical riffs.

lyrically–the love of money shines through.

Its tough to hear 30 year old children rapping. its difficult to comprehend the insecurity that’s prevalent in much of today’s rap artists. It’s not so much the insecurity that i don’t dig, but the fact that there’s a lack of admission of it, but rather a veneer of “completeness”.

re: “God gave me style”

when my cds drop they sell the best
you call it luck, why can’t it just be i’m blessed?

because it rains on the just, and the unjust…this isn’t to knock 50 as being “unjust” — as we all are, outside of Yahweh, but to actually answer the question. ;)

my favoritest shot of the night.

i <heart/> chunky dof

well, that was easy.

took a total of 15 minutes.

see reference page to set up your own (using wordpress 1.5)

all kinds of evil (i would think this is obvious — oh here’s one example)

stupidity (i.e. falling for a say, foreign lotto scam (hope you can forgive the poor writing, they’re still writing this badly years later) or nigerian scam)

bad rap music (i.e. anything i’ve heard from 50 cents’ new album)

please stop giving me reasons to love flickr more.

even though you left for hours, you are still loved.

in honor, i create a category just for you. Named

“flickr”.

it all started right before i headed from work.

flickr was down. (everytime something like this happens i picture the effiminate dude from Airplane! holding the plug talking about “just kidding!” lol)

it continues now at 8:00PM PST (poor east coasters whose night is already ruined)

still down. :(

as i pine for a flickr personal edition ;)

on the upside, it appears that the actual photo servers either are redundant, or back up.

as well, i found tonight what i was gonna start writing as a first pass of a personal flickr:

wordpress flickr plugin.

yikes looks as if i may permanently drop menalto gallery in the months to come… :’(

this is one fine massage flickr’s going through…

BACK UP AS OF 9:30P.M. PST!

these people did *not* get fired for blogging.

argh the media annoys me. and to a certain extent, folk who believe that folk get fired solely for blogging.

(where’s my ‘common sense’ category)
