Be Easy


Jay Electronica's making my ears bleed hip-hop. "It's bigger than religion. Hip Hop." - Ms. Badu

Be Easy

Pawn the E6 move swift but cunning
Keep my knights on flank and my bishops gunning
my B.L. Queens she hold me down lovely
the gravitational pull's too strong for you to budge me
It's a...Lyrical miracle pound for pound syllable for syllable I'm the unfuck-widdable
80% of my life I was subject to ridicule
But it was the fuel to help me to reach the pinnacle
This flow like snowman I'm abominable
This war has scarred me but the damage was minimal
Paid dues slaid crews did my share of dirt but never made news the God stay smooth
Made moves like Kasparov My sins like snakeskins
Homie I cast them off
Me the elite crew Crusher
The God-Fearin' zone rusher
Perform under pressure
Nobody's Fresher
The Soul-stepper

Swear, spit that while listening to Jay Electronica's "Be Easy" 2nd verse, you'll feel what Langston Hughes must've felt in the 1920s. Straight truth.

The Business of Making Nice Things





I want to be in the business of making things that are useful to people. Of making things that change people's lives for the better, without losing sight of the past or of it's implications of the future. I want people to look at something I made, and say, "Wow, that's pretty." Or even, "Noiiiiiiccee."

Right now it looks like a hard hustle, but if it's not hard, I don't think I'll want to be there for too long. I'll get bored for sure. Industrial Design it is. I mean take a look at Daniel Love's things from Singapore. Makes me want to say, "Noiiiicceeee." Sides, apparently at IDEO they get to look at optical illusions all day and play with shopping carts.

Flipbook Vision



Nostril Fire-Breath




I figure I'd fool with a picture and coin a word all on the same day. Even if it technically rolled over to the next day. Just for the record, I guess the magic works if I do make the first move, because the ladies never do. Evolutionary circumstances leave men with less to lose, because we get rejected the most. Our high rejection frequency relates to our short ass attention span, falling in love at a drop of a leaf. Ladies think long term, their biological clocks are in tune with the moon and the earth and thus have developed a sense of self, probably why the hellah hott girls my age are dating hella old dudes.

Another conspiracy to deal with. At least God proved to me that not even Tom Brady can beat Jesus.

Never Too Many Zombies


I watched Shaun of the Dead yesterday, and I appreciate whoever's at Comedy Central for the sense to give an average TV watcher a good serving of zombie. I just mean to say that Shaun of the Dead is a good movie to be reminded of the possible possibility of a Zombie Apocalypse. That facebook group I joined said it the best, the hardest part will be pretending I'm not excited.

Anyways, I thought that movie was just appropriate for TV because it presents everything zombies really bring to one's life in a humorous manner that can be ingested with commercials, snacks, and pee breaks in between. I mean when you watch a zombie movie, you gotta be ready for it. Like you get all tense, and your trigger finger gets all itchy and shit, all that jazz. But for Shaun of the Dead you don't got to worry about all that. The whole point of the movie is that you probably won't notice for a while, seeing that most people are already zombies right now. ( w00000000) You will have the time as the first wave gets through rigor mortis to pick out the records you don't want so you can fling 'em at said zombies' heads.

It's good to know that someone at Comedy Central got my back. Thanks for keeping me on my toes, Mr. Zombie Alert Committee Head Guy at Comedy Central. (Wouldn't that be the best job in the world??)

My Existence is Threatened


First post for the New Year, and I'm already 11 days behind.

Wish all the best for everyone this year. Big things are coming this year. Things in general.
