My Dead Dog
I feel sad that my dog died.
But I’m glad he’s in heaven.
My dog was very playful.
It never bit anybody.
But I’d still like him if he were alive,
But he’s not so I think I should forget about it.

What I Think of Love
Love is a nice kind thing.
It is gentle too.
It is so beautiful.
I love my brother very much.
I love my mommy and
Daddy too.

CT Scans
Bad Allergies + Deviated Septum = sinus misery. Note the lack of symmetry. These images are just about the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Watch my eyes close, look for my eyelashes and then you can even see my mole towards the end.
Damion Silver
I bought artwork by Damion Silver from Invisible NYC Art Gallery (my tattoo place).
My Third Tattoo – in Two Parts
So it’s that time again, tattoo time that is.
Part 1 (4 hours) 2/3 of the tattoo is done (outline, black and shadow outline to the left of existing center tattoo). Shout out to Kiku at Invisible NYC for doing an incredible job.
Part 2 (2 hours) Last third of the tattoo is filled in as well as the shadow.
Halloween & Beyonce
I had a great time on Halloween, some of my co-workers and I dressed up and ended up marching in the Halloween Parade on 6th Ave. Next year I am leaving work early to walk the entire parade route, it was so much fun. I’ve never seen so many people in one place in my life.
I have a musical confession to make, ok two…
#1 (the more embarassing one): I actually like a couple songs on Justin Timberlake’s new album. Don’t know how it happened, because I wanted to hate it on principle – but that whiteboy’s got soul. That’s right, I said it.
#2: I really like Beyonce’s new song “Upgrade U”. It’s ridiculously great. God bless her, she compares herself to MLK Jr. (which might be a side effect of hanging around with HOVA) but now I’m convinced that all a man needs is a necktie dimple and something from a place called Audemars Piguet.
I’m getting excited to see Talib Kweli in December. He was so chill when we saw him last year. He shook Jesse’s hand and he actually signed a poster that I was hanging on to. I’ve got to say that I like him alot better in concert than Mos Def. They still kick ass together, but Mos Def seems to get all full of himself after a few songs when he’s on stage alone – where Talib just rocks the house. I’ve been thinking of all the concerts I’ve been to and here’s some people I’ve seen.
– The Roots, Public Enemy, Rakim, Lupe & Rhymefest, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, KRS-One, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Roni Size, Underworld, GangStarr, Buena Vista Social Club, etc…
Oh and how could I forget my first two concerts ever: The Cars & Wang Chung, and Cinderella, Winger & the Bullett Boys. I’ve come a long way.
