Ahh the lonelies…
Farts trickle like magic balloons from halo’s.
Random succotash licks milky way.
Insignificance rears lollipops to bedknobs elbow.
None of those beautiful thoughts returned anything from Google, so I am doing my best to change that…
Hurrah for Beat Society
Okay, so I caved and bought a CD burner to burn the contents of Viola the Laptop so I can reformat her. Soon come my darlings, soon come…
I have very little time, so on with it…
Last night I witnessed one of the most original things I have ever witnessed - Beat Society. It was essentially 4 beat makers sat on stage with their respective tools, (all different), making beats. Kinda sounds boring when I type it like that, but it wasn’t. I actually felt excited about it and for the most part, I don’t get excited anymore. I honestly felt that I witnessed the beginning of something great…
There are things that need to change about the format in order to create more audience participation, but the concept - genius! I think that they should make the audience be the judge and knock out a beatmaker per round and then have a featured emcee rhyme over the winner. But that’s just my opinion…
Anyway, hurrah for Soul Spazm and Beat Society!
Fuck!!!
I just spilt an entire cup of coffee all over my desk and leg. I don’t know why the fuck I do things like that, but it happens from time to time. It’s like my wrist gives out and I just sit there and watch myself pour coffee everywhere. Last time it went all over my hard drive, another time all over the keyboard. Weard things happen like that to me…
I have been having lots of crazy dreams too. Have you..?
Finally, I bought a book yesterday that I have been meaning to hunt down for years - Before I Say Goodbye by Ruth Picardie. It�s obviously more meaningful to me know than it was then, but all I know is that remembering reading her column in the Observer gives me goosebumps. It was, all those years ago, the most moving thing I had ever read, I am sure circumstances now will compound that feeling with even more intensity.
