empire state of mind

so i have too much to say and my internet has been acting like all the boys in my life.... it's like shit, you leavin, i ain't doin nothin for you. 

good luck.

when i was in new york earlier this week i was feeling like them streets is mean. seems like it can be a lonely place too. just like anywhere.

so i'm in this funk and i'm down in soho lost somewhere and cross paths with jim jarmusch on a side street. now this dude's hair is wild so he's definitely easy to recognize. and just like in ghost dog where rza crosses paths with ghost dog at the end... it was totally like that. 

except we didn't say 'power and equality.' but i felt like that anyway.

and i realized look, it's all here in front of me, it's just gonna be hard. the best things aren't easy, and if they're too easy going up the fall down is much harder. so i've learned.

and over here in vegas it's just crazy because i have to leave my best friends and my family. and it's been so.... humbling, centering, chill, positive.... to be able to experience the day to day with the people i love so much and are so much a part of who i am. 

and now i need to part with them for a while and return to the out-of-town way i stay close to them.... which is okay, it will be good, it's just kind of hard.

and it doesn't help when people are randomly trippin on me.... letting me go.... 

'and i'm ready for that, i'm just sayin'...

and me and charmaine went on a date to alicia keys (for free..dope) and she killed it live. and her encore was 'empire state of mind part two'... her version... so sick and it just makes me tingle all over.

so even if it ain't all it seems i got a pocket full of dreams baby.... new york.

shit and PS: i got my coochie waxed at BOX (yes, coolest name of a waxing salon ever ever.... reminiscent of my mama's box organic tampon campaign for my design class) and it was DOPE. like, as dope as pulling the hair out of your coochie can possibly be. i totally recommend it if you are on the fence.
