polyphony.

tomorrow's the big day.

got a bit of the nervous thing going.

but im excited. pray for us, folks.

(i'll expound later)

copped that.

it's not an ipod. but i have about 50 albums on it. and they play, and they sound good. so, at this point, i'm not complaining.

last lump sum i dump on a non-essential until i move.

i have something to get off my chest.

i hate sideways talk, indirect sniping, the whole internet culture of hashing out differences with a person on a message board.

like, that shit isn't for grown ups. i wanna be a grown up.

so like... if there's an issue that needs to be discussed, or if there's an impasse that has been reached, lets rap about it and make an attempt at gaining some clarity. i'ont run around and drop vague hints when i have a problem with something somebody did or said, or if i have a problem with the way they are.

i either ignore it or i take it on fully.

anything else is a waste of time. please don't waste my time. especially if i'm walking around telling cats that you're my friend.

this is rather indirect for me, but... i don't have conclusive evidence to support my fears. just a gut feeling. and i'm not stupid, contrary to idea some folks currently hold.

holler tho.

i'm currently rocking out to "Cater 2 U".

-i wish somebody would try to check me on that.


i'll admit that dropping an entry in the blog is generally tedious. between working and focus on all the other goals, people and various excelsior in my life, it's hard to carve out an hour or two to write a relatively developed, coherent entry. so, i usually read the blogs of folks in my links list, looking for a bit of inspiration to write.

i happened across the blog of a cohort in the lust for life, and i was thoroughly inspired.

call me dreadfully dramatic and a romanticist of the worst kind, but i do believe that somehow, the circle of friends ive become a solid part of over the years has a sort of symbiotic potential to it... it's weird. maybe i should only speak for myself, but i totally thrive off of my peoples making moves in life.

i'm probably making a big deal of this because it makes me feel good... but i guess it's whatever works.

anyway.

- tomorrow will be the completion of my first week of my new job. yep. i quit the retail jazz and slipped back into the business casual desk gig. i get paid *way* more, i don't work half as hard, and i can sleep late on the weekends.

chalk that up to perseverance through prayer.

- i'm apt hunting really hard now. i'm really close, i just need to visit a place again to lock it down, but i dont know when i'll be able to do it, because the office hours are the same as my work hours. i'll work it out though.

- i haven't made a beat in at least a month. not a real beat. some mindless meanderings with drums and unused samples, nothing serious.

it's time to get back on the horse, though. i have an album and, possibly, a soundtrack for a local movie to contribute to. the new issue of SCRATCH has just blaze on the cover; me being amped would be an understatement.

- the flyers signed peter forsberg. they lost jeremy roenick in the process. the phillies are still 3 games out of the wild card, dragging philly baseball fans by their balls towards september, once more. T.O. showed up at camp, brian westbrook didn't, corey simon didn't- AGAIN- and hines ward should be hung in effigy. who's hines ward? EXACTLY. and. shaq and antoine walker might actually be a really good look. larry brown will not win in new york.

- i wanna visit new york city again. first empty weekend i have, ima make the trip.

aight.

i think i'm spent for the night.

"once again, back is the incredible."
