BLOOD in my spit

I went out and bought the new Outkast album, at the midnight sale at tower last night. Im not sure why, i think the idea of splitting the duo into two seperate acts...yet still technically together just sounds really refreshing for popular hip hop. Or maybe i just needed something to keep me from masturbating in my free time. idunno, It is pretty good though....i haven't listened to much of Big Boi's side, but the Andre side is one of the best hiphop things ive heard i think. Maybe its because its a concept album...or all about soul/love....or the incredible mix of production techniques. Some really cool things going on here. These are just initial reactions.........plus I dont listen to a lot of full length hiphop albums.....so maybe its not as innovative as i think it is......but compared to most of the popular hiphop on the radio....this blows it out of the water....opens your skull and poors evian on your brain kinda stuff.
Also Hieroglyphics will be coming out with a new album, and will be in austin this coming tuesday.
The Coup is another crew out of oakland.....highly politicized......a few decent songs. What interested me about them was the cover of one of their albums was released around september 11 and it featured the group using explosives on the world trade center, but was immediately pulled post-thefact. They hate america....and they also have a song called "my friend jesus the pimp" or something like that. That kind of turned me off of them....already.
Im sick feeling today.....i think its a weird sinus infection, that has concentrated itself in my mucos membrane creating a lot of weird euphoria due to pressure, i think. I dont know, i think it has caused me to do poorly on my first Ethnic Groups and Communications test. It felt easy, but i wasn't all there. Big classes always use too much multiple choice. I enjoy the short answer, most of the time. and i like it when i cough up blood...its satisfying

Did you know that Super 8mm cameras run under 20 dollars on ebay, normally?
Ill be purchasing one soon enough......it is a cheap addition to my army of cameras. And it probably is loads of fun. loads people...loads.

i never listened to johnny cash much, until about a year ago. I kinda picked it up, and made some sort of connection with his selfloathing rockabilly songs about being down and out or hardworking in some rustic part of the country. I guess everyone feels alone and angry, woeful, beaten, sometimes....or maybe more. Maybe half of ones life, for a lot of people. I can remember my dad hearing his tracks being played on the radio, imparticularly "boy named sue," and my dad explaining his lyrics in elementary terms. I think my dad had a mild obsession with him as a kid/teen (maybe i could be reading into it a bit much), but never really wanted to get me on the bandwagon i guess....probably because of the content of some the songs, or maybe they were personal to him, or maybe my mom was just bitchy. i dont know. But i can always picture that gaze he gets when listening to music like johnny cash's. Even though some of his songs are really fictional or about drug abuse (etc), and often sound kind of upbeat....somehow they really connect with my dad....he likes really old country music....most recently ive seen my dad look like this when he discovered Metallica's "unforgiven II." That was a weird week. He also likes their new album...but that is besides the point. Johnny Cash is dead. I dont know about his faith, accept for the fact that he had fought with it......but now he is in Gods headlights. whatever the fuck that means. Whats weirde is that yesterday i was watching an old "Columbo" episode, and Johnny Cash was the guest star.

I think i would listen to cash's "sunday morning coming down" as a tribute.

john ritter is dead too. charles bronson died the other day...........3 seems more of a crowd right now.

as cool as herpes

shit. I have not had internet in so long. Shitty shitty apartment complex is to blame. oh well.
Here we are, a couple of weeks into my junior year and i haven't downloaded any lot of porn from a particular actress that was on howard stern the night before. What kind of college life is that. One in which my cell phone was getting way too many calls. thats for sure.

anyways. this year is going to be awesome, or atleast it has started out that way. Im taking 12 hours, and i enjoy thoroughly 9 of them (save spanish). My Rhetoric of Hip Hop is going to be awesome. As the "summer of rock" is fading...and with downloading available again....i think im ready to slip into some hardcore hiphopping. So if anyone knows of a good hip hop night at the Jazz or something lemmekno. My other favored class is my Intro to production and sound (rtf class)....yes, finally after two years and a summer of pages upon pages, im being asked to created something aesthetically pleasing for a grade. Yet, because i go to UT, im not given any supplies to work with, and must pay for everything on my own. This cuts out my budget for joining the UFA again, until money permits. The other class is a study on ethnic and cultural differences and its postition in media. This class seems cool, and i hope by the end of the semester, i am able to recognize destructive rascism, and not allow it to creep into my personal projects that i hopefully will be doing in the future.

still editing summer projects. will be done soon enough.

so much to do. so much to do it with.
