Legalize It
Since it rarely goes said in the selfish mindsets of many who claim to be sharing and caring, our freedoms of speech, lawsuits, and voting have given us an ultimate sense of independency. This is just an observation that has been circulating in my mind for the past couple of days. As I listen to radio stations like NPR, or watch television broadcasts on CNN, or even listen to citizens of our America complain in the Express Lane (12 items or fewer) of Farm Fresh, I notice that it is general...

My mind works in weird ways, and I feel like I am composed of 1 trillion identities, each having a conditional functioning. Today I feel irritated in a sense, my girlfriend forgot my birth date this morning and, consequentially, it threw me off course for the majority of my morning (I shouldn't be mad because forgetting peoples birthday's generally happens when the people get comfortable with one another and remembering the date is no longer an important fact to remember, because you may r...

Listenability, how would you define it?
As a hip-hop song writer and vocal operationalist, I demand that I know how my words affect the ears... simple as that.
But the difficulty of assessing how your voice/word play/word choice/rhythm affects the ears of other human beings is almost cynically detrimental to one's continuance of pursuing a dream or passion in singing/song-writing. In my case, the statement made in the previous sentence does not hold entirely true. I am an excellent self-critic and generally know what sounds pleasu... Continue reading ...

Sunny day in Sun Life Stadium, gloomy day for the Colts, bonerific day for the Saints, and a glorious day for the city of New Orleans (this Superbowl win has all of a sudden fixed all of New Orleans problems, what a blessing). The fate of the game was said to be decided by the performance of the Saints, and it turned out to be true. It all boiled down to Indianapolis not being able to contain the Saints' multiple offensive threats in the most important moments (due to zone coverage and dou... Continue reading ...
One night we made an Igloo
So in case you didn't hear, a horrible/not so horrible snow storm swept through the mid-west and parts of the south-east. Being advantageous, two days ago at approximately 4:45 pm Tommy and I laid the foundation for an igloo/frozen teepee. About 9 hours later, a 4 and a half feet tall structure sheltered us from the terrifying cold. Unfortunately, Tommy did a lot of the ground work by himself, building up a small mountain of snow while I was at work from 5:30 to 11 pm. I eventually got b... Continue reading ...
