--- California Presidential Primary Election Information , i said!
yeah, all right, it sounds sappy.
but it's true, goddammit.
~~~
ah... what else can i say about myself? i don't know, man.
i'm me.
awwwww. me circa 1979.
i am ever changing, ever evolving, ever growing, yet i remain the same. i work hard, i play hard. both my profanity and my drinking tend to tip over into excess on a regular basis. i believe in laughter and good company. my faith in humanity is waning, but my relationship with God shows me that my judgment is often flawed. and, hey. that's why i ain't in charge of the world.
~~~
now that's what's hot. you betta recognize the 1337.
yah. i'm a geek. geeks unite!
~~~
i work a 9-5, but my heart is in art. i am a writer. i am an avid supporter of anyone pursuing their happiness through creativity. i've been known to stalk ardently encourage local talent, musicians, poets, visual artists. i've been in Los Angeles for more than two years now, and i'm always looking for like minded people. it's slow going. LACA's a tough nut to crack in many ways, but there are enough real folks out here taking a chance and remaining open hearted to those of us who are receptive to their messages.
and... well. that's all i got.

wait, wait, one more thing!
did you know that there are more than
1.5 million kids

500,000 of them are under the age of 15.

bah fuck it, there're just too many to name.

~~~

so. anyone who knows me at all, knows that i am a 2nd generation Jackson FIEND. The Jacksons win at life. i don't give a damn how you feel about their personal lives. seriously. if you only know ABC or I'll Be There, or Thriller or frick fracking Control, then just don't even bother to talk to me about them.

whew, kind of went off there, huh? my bad.

but here's the thing. i'm mostly a Motown junkie, right? old school R&B? but! acid jazz, world music, dance, pop, even hip hop; all of it moves me.

if.it's.done.right.

people have described my tastes as ecclectic, but i disagree. i have my themes. songs about great sex (ahem, Prince) will almost always get a win. party music? almost always good. get down deep and make me cry out in pain Aretha soul? YES. dance til you sweat. no question; that's totally the way to go.

and, okay. i believe that sampling is all right... so long as the original artist of the song is well and truly fucking recognized. even if you think the new song rules the world, ya gotta recognize those who came before, okay. because music lives through interpretation, right?
right! of course you agree with me. because, duh.

i'm rambling.

on the playlist below, for any sampled/reinterpreted song, i've tried to include the original as well. because that's just the way it should be, goddammit. (um, there's a skip between Club Nouveau & Luniz. Sean Combs is in there with Satisfy You, but since he takes such license with sampling, himself, i feel sure he'll forgive me for not including him. right? i mean. i'm just sayin'.) and i can't find Marvin's Turn On Some Music (vs Eric Sermon's bad ass sample from that horrible Martin Lawrence movie.) if anyone knows where i can find the link, let a sister know, wouldja?

oh. and the last song on the list is one of the coolest mixed streams i've heard in many moons. it's long as hell; more than an hour's worth of music, but it says more about me music tastes than i ever could. Van Hunt's in there, you got your Ndegeocello (if you haven't screwed your brains out made love to Me'Shell's Love Song #1, yet? i suggest that you get to humpin'.), AND there's a repeat of Raheem in there, too... i mean, forreal. what's not to love?

that is all.

ps: if you've taken a look at the playlist, and determined that i DON'T rule at life?

"take the Tyson approach and BITE me."

aight, not really, but it's fun to say stuff like that.

'cause i can.

i mean, really.

what are YOU gonna do about it? kick my ass???

k. shit talking over. be cool.

I'd like to meet:



anyone from my past, especially my home town

Gary, IN
