Notes from a Friend's Town

Golden Earth Day before Chewy chases squirrels for hrs...

1. I've been your slave for as long as I've been your friend... (© Van Hunt) Glad the chapter of my life that included song on it's soundtrack is done. I know for sure I've finished with said chapter because even the urge to be vindictive doesn't move me. 2. SoHo, Tribeca ... 3.   Pulled a job that would've had Danny Ocean jealous recently. 4. As the election day nears, support for Romney & his antics only make it clear that progress is an ongoing process. 5. 100 million for the QB in a season w/ a ref lockout in full effect. Seriously, who does the long range planning for the New Orleans Saints ? Lookout has ended & that investment doesn't have a healthy  forecast. 6. I know more kids in K-12 than I know bartenders, this is what your 20s really look like. World traveling, epic partying, career development optional, nap time & uncle status mandatory. 7. What's really good though? 8. If you want to know some...

Flying Lotus x Frank Ocean

1.  Dealt with Hurricane Issac this week. It reminded me of my first hurricane experience, watching the rains fall from the living room door of a  dark muggy hot house. I would open the fridge more than need be just for 5 seconds of cool air. This was quite a windy experience, lost power for a few days just to make the experience authentic. Glad that's over with for me now, my thoughts to my city as most are still in dark, attempting to sleep in conditions most are three decades removed from. 2. As always, it will be what it is for it can be nothing other than itself.  3.  Romney seriously followed Clint Eastwood's monologue at the RNC last week?? Clint loses his mind, meandering through the fog of his typecast character, addressing an empty chair on national television. I can't believe this circus is able to raise funds via donations. Totally bizarre. Shit's a bad acid trip and lives are being lost.  4.   Looking forward to Flying Lotus's new albu...

1. I am consistently under-engaged, mentally. I wrote the problem out, thereby acknowledging the problem furthering the process to discover the solution to the problem. (so I've been told) 2. No adult should fight sleep with the same fervor of a 2 yr old. I'm not as passionate as the 2 yr olds, but it gets close sometimes. 3. I will always stand by the assertion that marriage for people under 30 without children is a questionable idea. (if you have kids, it's still questionable but the questions are centered around providing for the kids, since they can't take care of themselves, ya know) Life teaches you more and more about yourself the longer you are immersed in your own company. It's a bit presumptuous to assert that you have a vested interest in the needs, wants, and dreams of another person if you haven't spent time learning those things about yourself.  What do I know though, I'm merely a spectator. 4.  That annoying moment when your well mean...

1.  Thank you July, for being soo damn nice. I certainly didn't expect you to be soo considerate given our history. My apologies for expecting the worse from you. 2.  Had the pleasure of meeting Denzel Washington recently. He's a very observant and humble man. I need to revisit his catalog because I suspect his best works are the films that didn't receive awards from the academy. 2a.  Always listen to the barber's (personal) story. You'd be surprised how much is wrapped up in the narratives of "ordinary" people. 3.   Still amused by a recent "challenge". No clue as to how it'll come to fruition but that's never meant anything of significance before. 4.  Always address unfinished business when the opportunity presents itself. Also, address it when there is no opportunity. That is, make one. 5. I've had issues with time management since I was a little kid. I'm too old to have the same concerns. I think I'll need a leather ...
