The Herbert Hollar

Word To Herbert
Yeah yeah you know it. I went back to the gym yesterday. Ran for 20 minutes, till I almost passed out on the treadmill, and then lifted. I told my boy "I'm going to get cock diesel," to which he replied, "What's that? A new candy bar??" Ha, ha, ha motherfuc*er. Laugh it up. You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE!!!!! I'm about to call up my old sifu again (sifu is Chinese for master, like sensei) and start kung-fooing all you fools and then it'll be on. And you know all I need is a lil' more speed out there on the b-ball court, too. I'll be greased lightning. The Great White Flash.

Speaking of speed, my lady saw a 3 inch cockroach zip across the floor the other day. That's really not gangsta. The building manager called it a "waterbug," but don't let them say that sh*t. A waterbug is also known as an American cockroach, and it gets really, really big and fat (like Americans). They come out of the pipes and are fond of water, as opposed to German cockroaches, a smaller breed of bug that hangs out around your open box of cereal in the kitchen. Anyways, somehow wifey "caught" the wooly mammoth. I don't know how she did it, but she did it, and when I came home, there was this box in the middle of the room with a shoe and an umbrella. I'm surprised she wasn't sitting on the damn thing to keep it cornered, it was that big! Anyways, WHY she didn't kill it is way beyond me, but of course, I sentenced the murdering bastid to capital puhishment, executed fair judgement (according to the law) and jumped on top of the box. You could hear a "craaack" and then a "splooosh" and the Mrs. cringed and it was all over.

Society is that much safer.

Freedom last week was off the meat-racks, with a very nice mix of people, and a healthy amount of lovely ladies as well. Big shout out to DJ Center, Dred Preda, Rich Nice, Damon from Fader Magazine, Sethdawg from Shady Entertainment, Gram from 3A Chemicals (hehehehe), and especially DALLAS, the man the myth the legend, whose people are hitting me up as we speak. THANKS, DALLAS! And big shout to Forrest, Charles Anthony (C Black) and the Joe's Pub family for welcoming me back with open arms last night at the Ride. It was ill. This live rock group called Game was ill, too. It was like ... like ... Bad Brains meets Rage Against the Machine meets Living Colour meets ... Chicago?? And what's up with dude from "A Different World" (or was it that sitcom with Queen Latifah and Tutti from "Facts of Life?" I forget) asking me for Patrice Rushen but not getting up and dancing to it? This is the law: If you make a request, and I play it, you best get up off your arse and shake it like a salt shaker or else no more requests EVER for you. Period!

I don't know if my new cursing plan is working or not, because I'm still getting these emails back saying "Sensitive Material," so we'll just have to see. I might have to fall back on the "ish" and "freaking" and "motherflower" and stuff so you can still get your emails. Oh, and if you are looking for addresses to the venue, your best bet is to hit newyork.citysearch.com, where you'll find the addresses and maybe a brief write-up of the spot (though usually outdated), or superpages.com website, where you'll get addresses and phone numbers and even directions. And big apology for all those that didn't get the word about Puffy's birthday party last week. Somehow, dude forgot to invite me. He's still mad I got the hot girl that danced at his show, I guess. Whatever, homie. It's always "bro's before h...." Just kidding. I'm sorry. (I'll make dinner.)

Peace, love, light, excellent health and deephouse.com
