I think rapper chains are mostly stupid and ignorant but...

some of them can be really dope, even if they are made by various diamonds, gold and silver mined (more likely then not) by locals and their children by various tribes, warlords and gangs in African countries and then sold to every major diamond store in the world, and then sold to your moms, sisters and favorite rappers for abhorrent prices so they can feel beautiful and better about themselves. It's really a disgusting cycle of madness that is corrupt from top to bottom. But yet, secretly deep down I wish I could floss big chips with a tastefully medium sized chain with a clever 90's Nickelodeon cartoon reference. Finally there is hope for a desperate non rapping white boy like myself to get a chain and not worry about bloody diamonds all over their chests. My birthday is coming up in two months... http://goodwoodnyc.com/

I shine at night like the bathroom light

I don't know how it eluded me for all these years, but night lights might have snuck their way onto my top 10 all time favorite things in the universe. They save electricity by keeping hall way lights off. They are automatic. Sometimes they also smell nice. They are just dim enough to keep you from blinding yourself in the hallway, but bright enough to keep the ghosts and monsters away. Aaaaaaand they come in cool designs. When I was little we had a Garfield cover for our bathroom light. As we got older it got replaced by Mario, and finally turned into a soccer ball as the bathroom wallpaper got changed. As I begin to think about it, the majority of houses I have been to in my 24 years of existence have had some kind of hallway or bathroom light. They are universal. And they are just plain practical. So, so amazing. Where have I been all these years? I've been missing the party.

Dear scientists,

I would greatly appreciate it if the high-dose cyclophosphamide (HICY as the doctors call it, Hi-C as I have taken to calling it) would be extra kick ass in the approaching couple of months, especially in the Chicago area. I don't have anything in the way of money to slip into your lab jacket or anything of real value that you probably already have anyways, but it would be pretty swell of you to make sure these doses are on point. That is all.

This month has been one of the most fantastic months since I moved out here, minus the summer obviously. The winter out here, at least temperature wise, is mild to say the least, but has been abnormal as far as snow fall goes. In the the last two weeks alone we've gotten enough snow to stand on top of and be able to head butt Yao Ming, which is great for me because it reminds me so much of my dearly beloved mother land, and its great for Winston cus the little shit just loves snow, especially if it is well over his head, and its also been great for maximum school and work cancellations. Snow days never get old, even if you are.
Weekends have also been pretty sweet, as Matthias and I have been crushing Saturdays with productive non-productivity. We average about 3 to 4 movie viewings a day, some old, some new, but all of which have given me something to think about either philosophically, politically, or spiritually. We have been pretty hard pressed to find a movie that hasn't made me feel some kind of way about how I should be approaching life. Its definitely been a pleasure ravaging through our "must see" movie lists together.
It will be a sad day when the Conshy Crushers have to part ways at the end of March, especially with the absolute roller coaster of a year I've had here. For better or for worse though, I finally pinned down a place to lay my head come April, in south Philly. It will be the first time I've lived in an actual city, which is pretty exciting, but I'll have to get used to the lack of green grass and clean streets, row home living, and the prospect of potential danger if I'm not on top of my game all the time. That's not to say the neighborhood I'm moving to is super dangerous, or even south Philly for that matter, but I have definitely spied some shady sheisters around when I've visited. Hopefully Winston recognizes the atmosphere change and steps up his maturity as well.
So with that stress finally covered, I am finally obligated to start thinking about the near future of what's next. Come mid-June I have to decided whats on the agenda next. Do I stay in Philly? Do I on the east coast? Do I move back to the midwest? Sheeyit, I dunno. We'll see where the money and the wind takes me. Until then though, this will be home.

Victim in Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck

My exact sentiments about an absolutely scum sucking, sidewinding, abomination of a human being, Glenn Beck. Thank you OnionTV for verbalizing everything I am not able to. Thank you.

Also, is it just me or are the margins in my blog space getting increasingly thinner? I feel like I'm only seeing half of the screen of the various videos I've posted. I want more, we need more, I want more goddamnit I'm back to demand we get more.

Flight School

Don't think I've ever mentioned Wiz Khalifa's name in this blog, mostly because it took me years to figure out if I really liked him or not. He's been around for a couple years now, swimming in the moderate depths, not in the deep end with all the sharks, but not in the wading pool with the guppies either. He finally started to translate for me when he put out the How Fly mixtape with my favorite up and comer Curren$y. Since then he's received a few more spins and a little bit more respect. Here's a decent slice from his latest album Deal or No Deal, "This Plane."

Seer clothing

Just found out about this tonight before headin' to bed. My favorite white baller and former neighbor Kyle Korver, dropped a clothing line to support his non-profit organization that helps out those less fortunate. The shirts are pretty decent, and they're for a good cause. Once I get my bread up I'll probably cop at least one or two.

Pretty excited about just about anything Lupe Fiasco has his hands in these days, and this is no exception. I don't remember how I found out about this, but peep the specs.

Dear doctors, nurses, neurologists, Multiple sclerosis, nature, drug companies, diseases in general, and a lot of other things I don't have the emotional energy to call out right now. Go fuck yourself.

When life seems like its just about to give you even the smallest kind of break, usually its a nasty trick meant to get your hopes up high, only to crush them and put you down lower then you already originally were. Sometimes its hard to be a soldier for the army of the light when all you see is darkness, and the light has really never existed in the first place. Its hard to fight for something that just might only be an abstract thought. Its hard to fight when you're not even really sure what you're fighting for. And its hardest of all to continue to fight when there are people in the trenches next to you that are falling.

I sure could use an air strike right about now, or at least some reinforcements.
