Word As Bond
I think I dun pushed my body to the limit. I don't get no sleep, I run on the darn the goddamn treadmill until I get nauseous and intestinal cramps, then I work till 5 in the morning, only to get up the next day at 11 to do something or other. Not sure what it is, but it is. Maybe it's my body trying to inadvertantly keep me out of any possible draft that I hear some in Congress are pushing for?? A draft? Me? I mean ... yeah. I'll fight for my country. I ain't afraid of dying. But I have asthma. And an intestinal bowel disorder. And ... I'm color blind, not-to-mention myopic, flat-footed, fair-skinned and subject to occasional bouts of serious anxiety. So maybe I'm not the best man for the job? No? Ahh ... too bad. I really wanted to kill. Darn.

Freedom was dope on Friday. It's dope every week. Soon we'll need a bigger space, but until then, try and get there as early as possible so you don't get caught waiting for the maximum occupancy limit to go down. Big shout out to Main Source for dropping thru last week. We've already seen Lords of the Underground, the UMCs and Grand Puba. Now all I need is Poor Righteous Teachers and I'm straight!

Big shout out to Damon and the Saturday night crew at Eugene's for a great party. First I had to rock the main floor, and 7 records deep Herbert had the crowd singing the words. And this was at 10:30PM!!!! Then they moved me over to the newly renovated VIP room, and everyone lined up to get in there. I tore the mothersucking roof down in that place. Unfortunately, there was a stupid "almost-fight" afterwards outside. You know how they go: Lots of barking and threats, big dudes running around all over the place, looking like f-ing children at a video arcade. If only they know how retarded they looked. I swear to you, I heard one of 'em say these exact words: "My dad's the biggest mob boss in town!!"

Oh word?

Here are some funny links for you to check out:

And I saw the following bumper sticker and fell in love: "Think: It's Patriotic."

Good health, lots of love and peace,

PS--A moment of silence please for Ray Charles and Ronald Reagen.
