for me it's a reminder of the highly interactive nature of the human being. in my observations of life so far it's extremely odd when a human chooses to isolate self. the results can be quite disturbing. it's like starving the mind in many ways...
last night/yesterday i went the the DMC US Finals at Santos Party House. i enjoyed the experience on so many levels that i'm still kinda geeked about it. there is an excitement i observe in those who dig such events that those who don't just cannot relate to.
i suppose it is watitis. we all dig different things. it just seems some find a need to belittle or demean that which they do not find digable. how do you grow too old for hip-hop? James Brown literally did it to death!
the performances were pretty tight. there was 1 DJ that seemed a little lost compared to the others, but overall each contestant was solid. the crowd didn't agree much w/the judges decision of who won the right to rep the US in the DMC World Finals, but this wasn't the Amateur Night At The Apollo.
2 of my most inspirational moments were being handed a small book looking object in the darkness of the club prior to the competition getting started, & listening to some albums i had yet to fully listen to. the book turned out to be the latest chapter of Frank151. this is an amazing publication. since i've never heard of it prior, i'm very excited to be aware of it now. great images throughout, & plenty of Q&A interviews.
the albums i listened almost had me salty because i neglected to bring my handy miniature composition book & Uni-Ball pen. fortunately i realized that i could take advantage of the virtual QWERTY keyboard in the cell to catch some lyrical stylings. i'm not the 1 for memorizing lyrics after i make them up. if i don't write them down, they're lost in the universe. good thing i charged the phone before leaving. 4 hours on a bus RT means plenty of listening time. what was i listening to?

gotta finish listening to that last album. i continue to be impressed w/the hometown heroes. the artistic maturity of their last few albums is very refreshing. i never thought i'd be listening to Black Thought singing when i 1st heard Pass The Popcorn...
watitis!
shout out to Vice Enigmatic who was also at the spot...
PEACE
...be calm...
