    Dear KingMost,

    You're a horrible speller (and what's with leaving ENTIRE WORDS outta your posts?), but you're a damn good friend. Thanks for hookin' up a brother up with gigs when needed.

    Dear King Moist, Daze, Tate, Karlito & Chasecrusher,



    Thanks for being good dudes. Most of you I've met via Soulstrut and the last thing I ever expected from "fucking around on a messageboard" was to meet folks that I would consider real world friendz. Random phone calls, text-messages and emails put a smile on my face. Y'all are like brothers from another motherboard*. I gots mad love to give, you're my people.

    Dearest D*wn,



    Mijita, I'm sorry. I know you "really really" like me, but I can't be what you want me to be. I'm just not ready. And you're exactly right, the little emails and voicemails are making me feel uncomfortable. I still want to be your friend, but the more you make certain things available to me, the more I feel like I'm taking advantage. Normally, I'd be game, but that damn halo over your head always leaves me with a guilty conscience. I'm sorry.



    Mr. Trying To Be Good

    Dear M**s,



    Dude. DUDE. You got a tough ass decision to make. I hope our talk helped. I trust that whatever you decide, you'll follow through 100% and do the right thing. You know I'm here for you either way. GRAFFITI ROCK POR VIDA, HOLMES!

    Dear feet,



    You're 30 years old! Why the fuck you still growing?! That's no bueno for an Newbie head such as myself. What the fuck do you expect me to do with all them 9-and-a-halves?! Some of those I'll never be able to replace! Please shrink back down or I will be forced to cut you down to size.

    ***************************************



    Dear Self,



    Get up, get out and get something. For reals, dude, the sun's out 'til 7pm these days and the weather is lovely. Why you ain't taking advantage of it? JOG, BITCH! It's not like you're being productive sitting your ass at home! No more excuses, lazy motherfucker. DO IT.

    Plaese to pick up that Amerie "Love's Off The Chain" white label for me. I can't find that shit anywhere! Well, I did find it at that online store but those fools are trying to charge me $15(!) shipping. If you know where I can find it, please direct me there. If you have an extra or know where you can buy it, tell me where to send PayPal.



    Thanks in advance!

    Dear Letters to Friends and People,

    I've always enjoyed you and I'm not sure why I've never posted in regards to you, but better late than never.

    - A Schnipper proponent


    Dear Mom,

    It was fun hanging out last night and thanks for being so chill about seeing Sin City even though it was not "your kind of movie". You seem to keep getting cooler and cooler as the years go by. I am proud and appreciative.

    - Your eldest


    Dear record collection,

    This has been quite a task burning you on to mp3, hasn't it? I'm very happy to have you in such and easy to transport and distribute format, but god dam when will this be OVER? Your "S" section has been a real bitch with all those Pharoah Sanders and Mongo Santamaria records you contain. I know we're entering the home stretch now, so let's stay focused and hopefully by the time this is finally over in the next few weeks, I'll have retained my sanity and the good music loving folks I hang with will have some cool mixes to enjoy.

    - Your burner/filer/obsoletionist


    Dear Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces of a Man,

    Thanks for reminding me why the collection burning will be worth it in the end. Lady Day and John Coltrane needs to get heard by people who have no idea who you are. You saved me the other night.

    - Your cheerleader


    Dear Maru, Ms. Damn, and all other A's fan strutters,

    Holler at your fellow enthusiast if anyone wants to hit up some games this spring and summer. I'm usually there like twice a week week when they're home. Hopefully Dotel was an aberation the last two days and the hitting gets better. Otherwise we might need each other for moral support...

    - jaybreezie

    PS - bring your AAA card. Mine expired last year and I feel guilty showing it to get cheap tickets. I heard they're doing the pepsi cans again this year, but I haven't seen them in SF. Maybe they're only in the East Bay?

    Dear Herm,

    Thanks man, the feeling is mutual. Whoda thunk the "dude who needed fonts that never got back to me" would end up being a Homie.

    Dear Jairo,

    I miss you so much it makes me wake up crying in the middle of the night. I told you how much I loved you many times in the last 15 years so there's no regrets there, I just wish we had more time together to conquer the world. I'mma do it in your name though.

    Dear Ex,

    why the fuck do I still miss you? argh

    Dear green chile,

    mmmm

    Dear Kswiss,

    I'll rock you forever, despite what Herm says.

    Dear Herm,
    I will keep on the lookout. I saw at a shop here in San Diego and will probably be going there this weekend.
    Love,

    Dear Mr L-Dula,
    I'm sorry about lagging on the CD, I will try and finish it with in the next two weeks but my schedule is officially hectic for the next 2 weeks.

    Dear Maui,
    I will be visiting you for a wedding next weekend. Please provide good weather, nice waves, pretty girls and good food. A little record shopping wouldn't hurt either.

    thanks!

    Dear Jerome James,

    You are the dumbest lazy piece of shit I have ever seen play the Center position. I hope no team signs you and you have to play in Russia next year. Way to wear a garbage bag around your head after we beat the Queens. That was dope.

    Dear left nut,

    Why oh why do you have to hang lower then your homeboy? I mean, seriously dude, it's fucking 100 degrees over here and you gotta get low and stick to my thigh. I wouldn't mind as much if I could move you two back and forth as needed, but nooooo....you gotta get all attached and shit. All you do is hang out all day, why the fuck you gotta get all lazy and lay down?! I look out for you, don't I? I specifically wear shorts on my day off, drive with my knee all up in the air and point that A/C vent up my leg JUST FOR YOU. Shit, I switched to boxers 18 years ago JUST FOR YOU. I even pull you two out the pee-pee hole once in a while to break the monotony. 'Member how you used to complain and shit? "I can't breathe. We're all squished together. Rightie's hair is poking me." Always whining and shit, so I switched. Gave you more freedom and more flexibility. Now all I'm asking for is a little comfort in return. Please. Don't make me spray your hairy ass with some Pam.

    Herm

    P.S. Just so you know, I'm considering changing your names to JakeWeezy and Bootsy. Why, you ask? 'Cause the females are always saying how much they love your SLAPZ, of course!

    Here goes:

    Dear Stomach,

    Keep getting smaller! I like you better now that there's less of you. I'm gonna keep working hard on the treadmill until you disappear.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Whopper with cheese,

    I sure miss you!!!! You are so juicy and tasty, but I had to give you up to lose weight. Maybe I'll visit you every now and then when I've lost the necessary amount of weight.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Chocolate,

    I miss you too. I especially like you as part of Tuxedo cake. I still love you, but I had to stop eating you to drop weight. Maybe we can have an occasional rendezvous after I finish losing weight, but don't expect any commitment from me. You can't never be my main squeeze.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Cigarettes,

    I wish I had never met you. I can't seem to shake you, but if I don't, you'll kill me someday. I will defeat you, damnit!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Winky Wright,

    Please box tonight instead of trading punches with Felix Trinidad, so that you can beat him. If you try to slug with him, you'll get knocked out. Fight smart!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Journal Reviewers,

    Please read my manuscripts thoroughly, with an open mind. Hopefully, you will then understand what me and my co-author are theorizing. Also, please hurry up because you guys took forever to review the first version of our submission.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Milwaukee,

    You are a God-forsaken city. You are racist, regressive, and well on your way to becoming Youngstown, OH or Gary, IN. Your police force is evil and racially discriminatory. Your city administrators must invest more into public schools so that you can attract high-tech industry that will bring new jobs into the region. I'm hopeful that my wife and I will be leaving you soon.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear (unnamed colleague),

    I think you are an evil, narcissistic bitch that will grow old alone. As long as you continue to fuck people over, you will eventually reap what you have sown. I pray for you to realize what a truly manipulative, insecure, and satanic person you are, and that you will change your ways for your benefit. Your evil ways will curse you.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Kobe Bryant,

    I am glad that you are home during the playoffs. Maybe losing will teach you humility, and that you need your teammates. I think you are reaping what you've sown as far as how you treated Shaquille O'Neal and Phil Jackson. I think that you lack class, character, and balls, and that you are a selfish, egotistical individual. Maybe someday you will realize the error in your ways.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Record Collection,

    I love you. You are my solace from a stressful day. Your contents sooth my soul and help me to endure the trials of life. You have always been a wonderful friend to me.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear (MC),

    I'm growing impatient with our project. I wish you would focus on finishing up your lyrics so that we can complete our CD. I've grown uninterested in the whole thing because I'm tired of waiting.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Dear Billy King (or is he still the Sixers' GM),

    I wish you would put together a team that can win. I'm tired of losing in the playoffs. You suck as a GM and you should be fired. You've traded several all-stars over the years, and as a result, the Sixers are a one-dimensional team.

    Sincerely,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Wow!!!! That was very cathartic. I understand the value of "letters to things and people" now.

    Peace,

    Whoa whoa whoa there, those are some serious allegations you've got there. Surely it can't be that bad, more on par with shit holes like Cleveland and Detroit?

    The label "Youngstown" is not to be used lightly!!

    Yo Graf,



    To me, Milwaukee is that bad. The city loses population and jobs significantly every single year. The manufacturing sector that ruled here is pretty much dead, and the populace is unprepared for more highly skilled technical work. In addition, the state's brightest members leave the state and go elsewhere, hence the term "brain drain" used to describe the decreased human capital that results from this process. To add on to this, the poor education that the masses receive from public schools here leads to disenfranchisement and crime. I'm sure these elements are really attractive to companies considering re-locating to this region (yeah, right!). These conditions will surely land Milwaukee in the fate of Youngstown, Gary, Detroit, and other dead manufacturing cities with undereducated citizens. The "skilled" folks will eventually jump ship and leave the place, which actually already occurs annually.

    I'd love to know where all these brains are going, because every single city in the midwest and northeast suffers from "brain drain" (or pull the "woe is me") Florida is loaded with senior citizens who are senile anyway and I actually haven't heard anything out of the ordinary about people moving west. So where are they going? Cleveland paper = brain drain, Akron paper = brain drain, Detroit paper = brain drain... all I can figure is that most of the brains are in India to begin with.
