So after 3 failed attempts, a bit of frustration, a feeling of hopelessness setting in, and a failed trust in the good folks at Hickam AFB, I have now developed a fear of flying. Not in the natural sense of speaking, as I rarely ever do, but this… in explanation: I woke up one morning [...]

Understanding: noun the ability to understand something; comprehension adjective – sympathetically aware of other people’s feelings; tolerant and forgiving – archaic having insight or good judgment. To those who have been able to peak inside my current situation… the aforementioned is not what I’m looking for. Don’t confuse relating with understanding. Being able to relate [...]

I’m sitting in my room now; after a long day of missed calls… a lengthy nap, some new records… even a friend request on myspace that made me wish I knew the girl who added me. I laughed inside, then was like, ‘damn… well, I might as well keep hoping.’ Nothing in the way of [...]

I’m trying to get above ‘it.’ Pain, poverty, tears, and the blues. I can’t let them to me what they did to my mom’s street. She used to think it was beautiful, and then with a few years of destructive politics, the powers that be destroyed the true essence and the hue of our neighborhoods. [...]

Just because you have something that other people use and are good at… doesn’t mean you’re going to be good at it. This is a very simple, but very deep topic. I don’t think people realize that what’s good, regardless of the argument of personal taste, is still good and that there is always a [...]

Sundays are usually cool. Sit back and reflect on my previous week. Dig a little and listen to some old joints… then I end up sampling something and making a music… focusing on my craft. Never could complain about Sundays. Today was no different. And like the other blogs I’ve up’d recently here are your [...]

Hey friends this week was one of those weeks. I think my body was shutting down because I’ve had it on overdrive for the longest… and my body won it’s safe to say. I done ran more miles than I care to mention so my legs hurt… I may not even venture out of the [...]

back to living. making music. watched a good movie yesterday. it made me think… i think i’ll go people watch today.

just take it for what it was… a preview. nothing more and nothing less. I was just learning how to make beats… so this was an attempt to sample the same record that I later found out Sabzi of Blue Scholars sampled once I met him and he played Loyalty at KTUH. Humble Beginnings from [...]

From talking to some of the cats out here that actually view my site (thanks, by the way) there was a general consensus that I needed to post more… (sheesh, I get it – lol), so along with the Fresh Water segments I will begin doing the Knowing is Beautiful segments and though it sounds [...]

I left my favoritest shirt in the back of HNZL’s truck… I miss it really… I mean, what other times are there  when you can wear an 8-bit shirt with a monster on it… I’m sad.    Big ups to Aaron for the threads… RAH! Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share via MySpace Tweet [...]
