It’s a Sunday evening and I’m listening to Hollyweerd’s “Ridin Wit My Homiez / Miles Davis’ Lament” from their 2009 mixtape Electricity Showroom and I’m thinking about sex. I always think about, talk about, and/or write about sex. It’s almost like I have a physiological and psychological need for it. It’s not an addiction, where […]
Read More All Day I Dream About…I stand by these words especially since I’m speaking from my own experiences. I’ve lived in this city all of my life and the pickings are slimmer than finding an open Rita’s Water Ice in the winter. What I find to be astounding about it all is that I have better luck with women that […]
Read More So I said this on Twitter last night…The Forum stuck out like a sore thumb and was torn down two years ago. It became a vacant space and I think it might be a parking lot or something to that effect. Like it or not, The Forum was a Market Street landmark and it represented an era of Philly’s well known debauchery. Center […]
Read More 35mm Pastlife: The Forum, Philly 2012There’s never going to be anyone like him EVER AGAIN. Patrice O’Neal was a comedic genius and a god in his profession. He offered a brand of comedy that I hadn’t seen before and it spoke to me. I first encountered the wit of Patrice O’Neal, in the early 2000’s on Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd […]
Read More Peace to Patrice….Pissed off. I, like many of you who were tuned into CNN or any other source of media this week, witnessed an ignored injustice. The grand jury decided NOT to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the wrongful killing death of Michael Brown. I wasn’t surprised. I’ve seen it before with Sean Bell, Oscar […]
Read More Anger…Wrote this last night… No need to get into the specifics… Just enjoy it.
Read More “Criminal Intent” PoemShannon is one of my favorite people in Philly and that list shortens by the day. I’ve known her for a while and I’ve always dug her personality. She has qualities that I look for in like minded people and we’ve even collaborated on a piece of art that I’ll share once its ready to […]
Read More 35mm Pastlife: Frankenstein Tattoo, April 2013Like I mentioned in the preceding post, “Brooklyn Zoo” makes me do things that I can’t control. It’s a purely physical and spiritual experience. I got extremely wild for that night and I have no qualms in doing this even when I’m old and gray. This was the same night that I met Madlib and […]
Read More Few Shots: Losing Control @ The Heineken Green Room, Oct. 2013If this song ever comes on in my immediate environment, I’ll turn that scene into a mosh pit and doesn’t matter if it’s in a club or in a church. Ol’ Dirty Bastard was sooooo RAW on this song that even if you didn’t know what hell he said on this song, you still found […]
Read More Throwback Thursday: Ol’ Dirty Bastard “Brooklyn Zoo”There was a point when I thought that this was excessive but that was me not thinking clearly. In my mind it was like “Here goes Kanye stunting on the block again” but he was truly enjoying life and showing off his then latest creations. Like how could anyone really hate on him for living […]
