Brief notes on an existence
Things that have been occupying my mind as late:
The sound of a 40oz beer clanking against a motherfuckers head - My friend Saer (sorry, I should find better work of his) had a going away party this weekend, and is often the case when you put any number of graff writers in a room a fight broke out. I wasn't present for said brawl, in fact I was downstairs trying to get a beer. It sounded like stampede of bulls. Anyways, apparently some kid got beat down, some other kid got clanked in the head with a 40 bottle, and all of the fighters got kicked out of the party. The whole story was told to me enthusiastically by an overzealous 18 year old. The cops came shortly thereafter and broke things up. It was 11:15pm. A little early for a bit of the ultraviolence, eh?
Eckhart Tolle - Lately I have been listening to nothing but this guy's audio books and Kool Keith at work. His droll voice is a sharp contrast to the panderings of Kool Keith or Black Elvis or whatever he wants to call himself. I have been reading a lot of self-development/philosophical/religious material for the past year-plus now and I feel like I have just begun some long journey. I have read a lot of crap, I have read a lot of good stuff, but most of it is just regurgitated material. This guy is one of the best, though. "The Power of Now" is power-ful stuff. Heh.
Kool Keith - In preparation for an upcoming Man of the Hour. I downloaded 11 of this mans albums and I feel like I have only just gotten started. Before I started, I wasn't much of a Kool Keith fan, and to be honest, I still don't like him all that much, but the dude definitely has some jams. Plus, an obsessive like me will try to figure out where all of his porn samples come from. Which led me to download...
Deep Throat (film) -
I really feel sorry for you W. Mark Felt, not only for getting such a dumb codename bestowed upon you, but to be named after a ludicrously silly movie. Well, I guess it IS porn, and this porn has a much better plot than the garbage that comes out nowadays. Although, all of the porn that comes out nowadays is gonzo films, so unless you are downloading reality porn (MilfHunter, Bangbus, etc. etc.), your porn probably doesn't have any plot to it. I digress...
Final Fantasy 12 - I should have beat this game over a year ago... well, I was like 10 hours in out of the 50 needed to complete this game a year ago and I just decided to pick it back up on Friday. Of course, I forgot the whole plot of the game so I decided to restart. Vaan is pretty much the most annoying character ever to headline a video game. For that matter, why do the protagonists of RPG's have to be shorter white (looking) males with funky hairdos? I mean, I haven't played that many, but ff7 (cloud), ff8 (squall), chrono trigger (crono), chrono cross (serge), and suikoden III (Hugo) all fit this description!
The Wire - This season is ongoing, so I won't give any spoilers here. This season is just outright ridiculous. I am going to have to wait until long after the season is over and everything has settled in to give my true opinion on it. I will say I do enjoy the cameos, but a lot of them look thrown in and forced.
LOST - Two episodes in and this show is looking great. The four new characters they have look intriguing, although the "ghostbuster" feels a little over the top. Here's hoping that he gets killed very soon. Holla!
