stronger drums for yeezy

2010-11-17T00:36:00.005-05:00

this clip is 3yrs old... there's no doubt that Kanye works hard, but where do we draw a line to obsession? Or Tim fixed it? I can see that side too. But damn, how many mixes before you're just buggin? I'm not saying this b/c I want Kanye to know, and I'm not hating. However, it's a thin line between dedication and obsession to me. I always thought any "imperfections" in art are part of the whole point of it being art. Perfect art?

his drums weren't strong enough, how ironic right? I'm just saying.

Christina is baaack

2010-10-18T11:17:00.003-04:00

this song doesn't relate to anything in my life at the current moment... but it's still a beautiful expression of things that happen in life & love. gives me goosebumps
Alexandra showed me this track, and we agreed that "this" is the Christina Aguilera that's dope. none of this "not myself tonight" crappy single stuff... even the artwork on this album seems like some contrived wanna be Lady Gaga junk. I really like this "you lost me" song though. deep.

little miss sweet potato head

2010-09-29T02:14:00.011-04:00

Fancy had been having some health issues recently, I started to think it might be a food allergy. The good people at Whiskers suggested I add sweet potato to her food, but also take her to the vet. At the time, I failed to realize the monster I was creating.

the expensive & rude doc said it's not a food allergy, but actually a skin infection & that he also detected some hip trouble. So he sold me a spray for the skin, prescribed inflammation meds for the hip and we went home... that night I added the inflammation meds to the sweet potato & mixed it with the kibble. she gobbled it up.

2 weeks later, all her medicine is done & she's back to her Fancyself, however I'm still steaming sweet potatoes every few days to mix in with her dog kibble. why? because i love her!

no, but really. she won't eat this damn dog food anymore! bitch
after some research, I find that sweet potatoes relieve inflammation!

so, I'm her bitch now? damn

Dexter x 2010 x SHOWtime

2010-09-28T00:42:00.005-04:00

Yes- we're all excited to see what the deal is with Dexter Morgan in 2010, but let's not overlook that Micheal C. Hall recently beat cancer!!!! the episode had plenty of turns... (no spoilers here) everyone was surprised that Dex wasn't super emo about Rita's death. But, has he ever been really that emotional, ever?? sometimes, grief can be a paralyzing sadness you can't escape.

a reminder that tomorrow isn't promised. so we live for today

this video by Brian Moore got my attention tonight. Skater, John Sullivan had a few close calls, but he stayed cool & landed on his feet. that's life right there!!

Brian has more skate vids, but this one I enjoyed the most. I'm partial to kush & OJ, what can I say?

WTF - a hurricane in nyc?

2010-09-02T01:28:00.007-04:00

When I moved from Miami to NYC in 2003, I was relieved that they never got hurricanes. I remember Andrew :( and that was nothing short of traumatic. People that have not experienced a storm of that magnitude, can easily overlook the trauma because they aren't remotely effected/affected. I guess I was the naive one to think I could avoid hurricanes all together.

I remember when Andrew hit Miami in 92, the summer before I started 3rd grade. Earlier that month, my grandma had a face lift. So, her head was all bandaged up like a zombie when the storm hit... when went to the food banks etc, people let us cut every line! I also remember, my cousin Holly & her parents came to live with us, b/c their house was really messed up. That was kinda like torture. I think she was in her "terrible two's" or maybe it was 3, 4 or 5. She was terribly spoiled no doubt... or maybe it felt that way b/c I had to share everything with her at that point. umm.... na, she was a brat. Hurricane Holly. ha!

finally got to see this tonight. I was really impressed by the approach. this art is so clever, the doc is insightful on many levels. art is often exploited. interesting analyzation of how people cope w/trauma through obsession. just another reason to love Banksy.
