			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been getting this feeling like I might be letting down the inner fight club fan inside myself.  I am collecting a bunch of stuff in my home that I like, I like how I place it, I like how it looks&#8230; But really, it&#8217;s a  collection of junk.  In the big picture of things, I call it junk.  Nice looking planters, bookshelves, chairs, display shelves, stuff.  Yeah, it&#8217;s stuff you need i guess, to have a nice looking place and all.  But I just keep thinking of how Edward Norton was told by Brad Pitt that his shit was just junk, a collection of filler that makes him feel like he is accomplishing things in life.  Maybe it&#8217;s time to peep this attitude again.  I do like my stuff though.</p>
<p>On some tunes.. Kimya Dawson&#8217;s Thunder Thighs is killin it!</p>
<p>And yeah&#8230; Derrick Rose is still the shit.  Don&#8217;t sleep on him again, that would be lame.  Say you are not really into sports at all, no big deal, just watch an interview with this young man, seriously.  After you hear him talk, and hear him talk about his brothers and his mother, and Englewood where he is from&#8230; you will root for him after this I promise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sun is out in full glory, the coffee is kickin&#8217; and well&#8230; It&#8217;s a lovely October day.  There are few things that could go wrong today, and those will be out of my control.  The things I can control, well&#8230;. I&#8221;m on it.  For reals.  Should be a nice result.  I like the word result today, very UK.</p>
<p>Speaking of very UK, how about Americans taking it to the streets.  Van Jones was saying that the protest are basically a reaction to three years of sitting on a hot stove, and the reactions are folks hollerin&#8217;.  I love that he used the word Holla, but not in that ridiculous overdone way that so many duck faced fools say &#8220;holla&#8221; about the most asinine shit.  Whoomp Whoomp, Woot Woot, and Holla&#8230; signs of stupidity.  What is the deal with my lack of joining Occupy Chicago?  Do I ask for time off from work, head in after work, wait until my next day off&#8230; The revolution is so schedule tough for me.  Just kidding, lets do this.   Big love for the first occupy folks in NYC, we need this, and I thank you for sparking it.  I watch a bit of MSNBC from time to time, and I was baffled by the lack of coverage, but Ed&#8230;  My least favorite vibe of the line up these days, was on it eventually.  Go Ed Shultz, big up.  Now we just need Obama to say some shit like, I think I will just create policy out of what those good folks Occupying Wall street say.  And they say the message is muddled.  Rust Limpdick called the protesters human refuse&#8230;  yeah, pour some gasoline on this Rush.  When will there be a serious left stealth movement that will just take these fools out.  I&#8217;m not talking about sniper actions or any kind of death, but how about a very quick abduction, drug these fools to knock them out, and dye them black or something&#8230; I mean?  I guess that would give the 1% carte blanche to round up anyone with a late bill and put them in financial obligation holding tanks (TM).  Next step, burn some shit.</p>
<p>On a lighter note, Bears v Lions.  I like the bare bones sound of animal fights, Bears and Lions fighting.  Gross Roman colosseum type shit right?  Well this is just a football game so chill out.</p>
<p>Saw Black Star on the Colbert Report.  BLAZE.  I will be grabbing that album as soon as I can.  The joint they rocked was called Fixin it, or something like that.  Blaze lyrics, and this is what we expect from Talib and Yasiin (formally known as Mos Def)  Big Ups!  I just peeped youtube to maybe post a clip of this performance&#8230; nothing.  Then I went to Itunes to buy the song, and or lp&#8230; nothing yet.  I checked out a lot of the new releases in the hip hop rap section.  GARBAGE, this would explain the state of the hoods and the lack of any kind of rising up.  Rising up to the Gucci Mane&#8217;s means fuck your brothers and sisters, get yours, and your neighborhoods can keep looking like strait garbage cans and such.  Please teach a little something other than &#8220;getting yours&#8221;.  Lets grow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think Portlandia is really great, such a funny show.  I do feel like the title is awesome, but it reminds me of all those Gods Country Pacific Northwest Separate from America Neo Nazi types that I would run into in Oly back in mid 90&#8242;s.  Idaho, Oregon, Washington&#8230;. new white nation.  Funny, because this has nothing to do with this post.  The theme music to Portlandia is some dope dope dope tunes.  Washed Out, be the group, Feel It All Around You&#8230;. so lovely.  Just sit back and chill to this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chalked full of political reverence and glitter.  Let us not forget about revolution, and how revolution is a natural progression towards any kind of personal rights.  Listen up Egypt, once you get it going, don&#8217;t fall asleep like us Americans have.  We are free, but it&#8217;s a certain kind of free, it&#8217;s cable tv, fatty foods, toxic ways, and xenophobia.  So&#8230; get yours!  And do Big Things, like Obama would like us Americans to do.  Such a gansta way to say that, &#8220;We do big things!&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I seem to not be able to find this particular cassette tape that I bought at an Ethiopian Grocery store in Portland many years ago.  I was my official hyped on legal trucker speed driving music.  There is a melody that has been in my head for over a month,  I couldn&#8217;t read the artist name, or song titles on the cassette, so I have no words to jar my memory, just the image of the cover, and yeah&#8230;. Gold, red and green, ha ha.  Not on the Ras tip, very soulful tunes.  I need to find this.  Last place I recall hearing it would be Jenns van, on the way back&#8230;. There is no way it would still be in that van, this won&#8217;t stop me from asking her about it later today, who knows&#8230;. until then, maybe this will get me through the wait.</p>

<p>Either there is a very uncanny vibe of all of this sounding the same, or this is the dude&#8230; pretty sure this sax is from my jammy jam.  Ok, most likely not.  Rock steady ya&#8217;ll.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saw one of the SNL performances recently, Lil&#8217; Wayne and Eminem together eh?  I had no expectations and well.. after Lil&#8217; Wayne&#8217;s verse and then the chorus, my expectations fell to flatsville, in so far as me expecting any kind of save from Eminem.  I was wrong.  His verse was twice as long, seemed even a bit longer than that, and it was full of pace and purpose, real cadence of flow.  The same type shit you hear from old RZA freestyles, and studios cuts, The RZA is a master of this flowtron technique.  You can just tell when he hits this next level of flowtron.  I love that shit, it&#8217;s one of the elements of Hip Hop that will have me hooked for the rest of my life.  I&#8217;ll always rock whatever needs to be rocked, Bruce Lee style,  in the sense that every kind of every everything has some good going on.  Often that level of good is very high.</p>
<p>Very unrelated, I have a humidifier that I just turned on for the first time.  I have never lived anywhere where there is such a thing built into the central heating system.  Feels kind of pimp, but I know it&#8217;s most likely a wasteful indulgence.  Back to the topic, I saw the music video for the same song I saw in SNL, and wows&#8230;  Eminem even kills it on the recorded version, the exact pace and fullness in there.  Pretty dope.  I&#8221;ll spare you the vid, the anti&#8217; bullying vibe of it is really right on and all, but it is just hokey.  Not up in BBO yo.</p>
