the blog nebula

i am a much more efficient hater in person and, as such, i have refused to comment on a lot of things here on the blog. i’ll take that back, i am usually pretty reserved around strangers and tend to stay silent until i am in the company of trusted friends which explains why the blog doesnt get all the good play when it comes to mah full all blast hate.

this means you may read some snippets from the rest of the blog.tribe put two and two together and end up with 22… no worries. if you want the legit scoop, just come up and ask. (that does not mean email me)

on to the performance tip- i have memorized two poems for tonights louderTRIBUTE that fish put together. the first one is 98% down and the second one is at about 90% which is pretty good since this time last week, i didnt know any of it by heart. should be really interesting sincei have learned quite a deal from trying to get into the soul of these poems. more than anything else, i’ve learned that i have a long ways to go but i have made a career of jumping over hurdles way before i was supposed to get to them which really means nothing since, in some respects, i am still where i started.

on the personal tip- they say no news is good news… i am unconvinced.

on the secrets dept- a good friend went and shared with me some news from soul. i felt it was only right to return the favor,as is my way.

on growth as a poet dept- my new, “when i die” poem is #8 on the o.b.billboard charts with a bullet. i want to nail some things down in it but the spirit of the poem is starting to take baby steps and may soon be headed to pre-school. the real cool news is that it may have a lil brother as i want to leave some more messaged behind from the grave. what can i say? i’m a control freak!

inside joke dept- “maybe you are entering into your introspective phase?”

signing off dept- love ya like democracy in the modern age

in the place to be

i am up in columbia u’s shapiro hall next to fish as i

check up on my email and we both cyber.watch the jets

vs pats game. guess who i’m rootin’ for?

in hand is some new hotness where i leave some

instructions to mah peeps if i should pass away.

morbid? maybe but it’s a damn good writing exercise.

the mahina movement event will be kicking off in a bit

and the joy of having at least one new poem to read

makes me feel good.

last night i got to check out willie perdomo and john

rodriguez at the tribes. let me tell you, dat sheet

was enuf to fuel me for a good few weeks. john should

be called “car wash rodriguez” cuz he is automatic and

willie performed some a set of all new hotness. the

after party involved pizza, fizzy lizzy, mad jokes, a

guest appearance from an old.school nuyorican, some

sad truths, john steppin on my kicks a lot (“you lucky

we live in a civilized age. in ’88 dat sheet woulda

got you stabbed!”) and mad snaps all around. straight

up, mah life is blessed.

especially when you factor in that i got to crash

downtown and have mad inside jokes with two of the

blog.tribe

love ya like if i popped your cork!

on to the series

apparently, i am now a cardinals fan… fine by me… pujols, walker
and manager, tony larussa, have been faves of mine for a while…
roger clemens ran out of gas… too bad for him… actually, too bad
for bagwell & bigio who i would have really loved to see go the big
dance… since i did NOT attend nats this year, i have NO problem
rooting for the “gas house gang”…

back to poetry… i have not written sheet in the last month…
butkis… nada… zilch

i am in the conundrum of performance poetry… while busy memorizing
my work and (hopefully) improving my performance, i have not had any
real time to work on the vaunted “new shit”…

good news, though… i have a feature this sunday with rich & fish as
we help out our favorite locas, mahina movement, with an event
celebrating brothers in da movement… this is why i love mahina…
they know how to spread the love…

the challenge is clear- fish & rich must be SICK to death of the
greatest hits by now and mahina has seen me a couple of times as well
doin the standards… i will have some new sheet for this sunday… it
will probably be written 30 minutes before hand… we shall see
