belafonte essential
went and watched life aquatic this afternoon. what a nice film, purdy, fun, touchy, like that bike store owner with dudley + arnold on diff'rent strokes. almost had me shedding a tear, 15yr record is still in tact, however. one day, i tell u whut.
i'm hooked on this devendra banhart record, nino rojo, it's, like, beautiful.
went running this morning, felt good to get my lazy butt back out there. it's hard to keep it going, gonna go again tomorrow, but then we hit the road at around noon. difficult getting a run routine started on a roadtrip -- leave it to 2005, yo. groceries for the road, check. the trip to denver last year involved serious gas station food + it about did me in. itinerary other than la, uncertain. it'll be fun to decide on the road, maybe go shoot something in death valley '69. vegas? joshua tree would be great. time for sf would be hott.
hope yr xmas was a good'n. i rolled to dallas with bella. she keeps it real on the road, navigatin' + such. she finally broke down + told about her tour in 'nam '71-'72. she was in the shit; for weeks. not knowing what was coming next, charlie all around. it's made he who she is today, no regrets -- discharged, section 8. it was real bonding.
it was nice to see my mom + sister for the holiday. i'm still a detached son of a bitch, though. always have been with my immediate family, somehow i'm closer to my german side, my friends, and other people's parents. i'm kooky like that.
alright, it's a beautiful day out + i'm steppin'. might seal the floor today, chit is peelin' hear + dare.

driving home from the gym tonight, i had an odd thought after flipping to the next song on my cd/mp3 player. was the prior song too good to finish, was it too difficult to deal with it coming to an end? with about 30 seconds to go was when i didn't want to deal with the end of the song...does this apply to how i approach other good things coming to an end?
============
since school got out i sort of went on a bender, more relative to the amount that i drink during the school year than an actual bender, but i've been doing some drinking and it caught up with me this morning. headaches are wack.
============

Def Certificate
Here's another day at the stoplight
I'm lookin in my mirror so I can see who can see me
South Central is puttin Ice Cube to the test
With four brothas in the SS
I can't go around and can't back up
So I gotta peep game layin in the cut
Is this a jack or a kidnap?
Since I'm never ever slippin I fully strapped
I grab my gat out the glove
Now, do these fools got a problem with me?
Or do they got love?
So when the light turns green, I don't bone out
I wanna see what these black men are all about
Cuz if it's my time, I'm just short
If not, I'm pluggin they Super Sport
First they get behind my ride...
Then they switch lanes to the left side
I'm scopin out the one smokin indo
Comin up fast, rollin down his window
He threw up a sign, I put away my nine
Fool, cuz I'm color blind
Threat:
Killa Cali, the state where they kill
Over colors cuz brothas don't know the deal
And they'll cap you, not if they have to
But if they want to, first they might confront you
But every nigga on my block can't stop
And he won't and he don't stop
Not to the bang bang boogie, but they like to gangbang
And rookies ain't the only ones that drop
Some say the little locs are gettin a little too loc'ed
And when it comes to dust, they kick up the most
Say the wrong word
then whistle down the street to your homies like a bird
Bust a u-turn, come back and get served nigga
For the women, it don't matter how loud they blouse get
But wearin the wrong color outfit, could get your mouth split
It's a shame, but it ain't no thang to me
Cuz I slang these thangs like a G
It's on, is anybody killin for the summertime
I gotta get another nine, even though I'm colorblind
KAM:
I'm fresh outta county on bail
And no sooner do I get out, seems like I'm right back in jail
For some gang related activity
Cuz everyday, different fools try to get with me
For no more than a color, or territory
Can't rehabilitate 'em, that's the sheriff's story
So what's left, the judge goes deaf
When you try to tell your side
And you ain't blue eyed
Boy you better duck cuz the book is comin'
And just hand your car keys over to your woman
Because it aint no sunshine where you headed
And the shit'll drive you crazy if you let it
But now, I got time to think
Because they hit me with everything but the kitchen sink
And I ain't even shed a tear
Cuz believe it or not, they got more love for me here
Now picture that, but on a black and white photograph
Cuz brothas, you don't know the half
On the streets I was damn near outta my mind
But ever since I've been down
I'm colorblind
WC:
Now here's the game plan, yo, at a quarter to nine
I was told to peel a cap on the other side
Yo, young and dumb, full of come up, a baby loc
I gotta put in work for the hood and that ain't no joke
Coolio:
Stable and able but I'm not ready and willin
Cuz I'm only 13 and I ain't never did a killin
Grabbed the A.K. and jumped in the G ride
Started up the bucket and headed for the other side
WC:
Yo, spotted the enemies, now I'm on a creep tip
Hit the 5 dollar stick and I I put in my clip
Coolio:
So, I jumped out the car and no matter what the cost
I had my mind set on sendin niggaz to Harrison Ross
WC:
Caught one from the back and I looked in eyes
Thinkin should I peel his cap, or should I let him survive
Yo, I'm trapped in the plan designed by another side
Coolio:
I ain't contributin to genocide (why?)
Cuz I'm colorblind
King Tee:
Niggaz in the hood ain't changed
And I've finally figure out that we're not in the same gang
Cuz, I walk the alleys of Compton with nowhere to turn
Every which way I get burned baby
Lou wears blue, Big Fred wears red
Put 'em together and we color 'em dead
Dead, dyin, gettin smoked like part of the fun
They get smoked just to show how many come to the funeral
J-Dee(Lench Mob):
I understand how all my homeboys feel
Cuz I was shot and to this day, I pack my steel
Cuz I was born in a certain territory
Where you don't talk only the streets tell stories
With blue and red bandanas on the street
And if you slippin, you'll be six feet deep
Cuz me and T-bone, we pay it no mind
And for the rest of the mob, we stay color blind. . .
Who’s stealing SpongeBob?
Who would ever do such a thing?
"Authorities are baffled
Super-sized balloons disappearing from Burger Kings coast to coast
A SpongeBob SquarePants figure sits on the roof of a Burger King in Miami on Wednesday. They have been stolen from other Burger King restaurants.
Fla. - Dozens of 9-foot-tall SpongeBob SquarePants balloons have been stolen from the roofs of Burger Kings from Florida to Utah since the release of the famous cartoon character’s hit movie, authorities said.
The balloons started appearing at fast-food restaurants in a promotional tie-in with his movie Nov. 11. A Burger King near Palatka, south of Jacksonville, is among the latest to report the theft of the $500 balloon.
“We don’t have any theories. SpongeBob SquarePants is kind of a fad. It could be a childhood prank or an adult trying to get a fad item for Christmas,” Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Rose said Wednesday. “If any leads come across, we will follow up in hopes of making an arrest.”
As part of the promotion, hundreds of inflatable SpongeBobs weighing 50 pounds were ordered for restaurants nationwide. The animated movie and TV star is featured on Burger King children’s meals, watches and toys.
The bigger-than-life sized versions of “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” star also have turned up on eBay.
Jim Twitchell, a professor of advertising and English at the University of Florida, suspects young men are behind most thefts of the famous Krabby Patty flipper.
“They will show up in fraternity houses for sure,” he said."

so it looks like another roadtrip is imminent.
destination, los angeles.
means, rented cadillac.
temporary neck tattoos, mandatory.
hyped on the time off, it'll be the 17th - jan 3rd. need to rest + catch up on logistical pieces of my life, bills, giving bella a haircut, cleaning; it's hott like that.
these past 4 months have been pretty out there, it's nice to get through the stress without too much permadam. i may take some stuff next semester, but it'll be one of those last second deal, like most of my decisions.
===========
i think i've duped myself back into thinking i could work something out with a lady from the past. the reality of any relationship is once it's gone through something, it's fucked. is that cynical or is it realistic? as my boy adonis would say there's "no way back". things are dope to start, they go great, and if there's something that goes down, there's no way to go back to the moment before it. maybe my thousands of readers are thinking a collective "no chit", but it always takes me a bit longer to come to that realization. i like to work on things that aren't easy, mostly personalities...the pattern is pretty specific to my taste in females. not sure where that comes from, choosing the easy would be more logical, but those are the ones that i quickly lose interest in. self-destructive tendencies anyone?
===========
gonna check the magnetic fields at hogg auditorium tomorrow night, it should be interesting, not sure what the live deal will turn out as. did i mention slayer?

bry, patrick, + i went to go eat at jody's new restaurant last night before the blue genie art bazaar. there was a table of this new breed of kids who have grown into their early to mid 20s. you've seen them. maybe they're more prevalent in austin for some reason, but what's with the emo-sleeves + frosted hair? it'd be unique if there was a table and one guy had the look, but there were about 10 folks at a table and the 4 males looked like they went into urban outfitters, bought their clothes, had somebody spraypaint their arms with tattoos, and do their hair as a complete outfit for $210.56 ($199.00 of which was spent on their diesel jeans). it's all over this town + it's bizarre (check the homonym). one day, there will be an aging population of look alikes, with the same shit on their arms, the same star tattoo on their elbows; i'm just confused as to when fashion became so permanent. isn't fashion an idea of temporality.
anyways, they were the ones sitting with girls, so i guess that says something.
===========
ah, word?
preps vs. punks
back to cali
i will be in san antonio tonight...
for some high art...
