W's tonight; no more half-stepping; they will realize their potential against the bitch-ass Jazz but that is for another thread.4. Since I am out-of-town I have a bullet-proof excuse for not attending my highschool reunion.5. I still got my health.BONUS BEAT I am about to go eat a sammich...

BOTTOM 1

Haha..
1. My girlfriend found my car a block away from where I parked it last night. It has a parking ticket on it but is no worse for the wear. Must've been towed for construction.
2. Despite a harrowing day full of fucked up shit I am chilling with a cold one, watching the humidifier do its thing and realizing things could be a lot worse.
Bottom:
1. Some pieces from the gorgeous, NM reggae collection I purchased last weekend were damaged by the flood in my store. I know waterlogged reggae LPs are somewhat par for the course but this collection was CLEAN. From my eye drops a tear.
2. Insurance adjusters are gross. Slimey handshake. Glad I've got the Purell.
One question: will you be keeping it Coogi down to the socks for the weekend?
2. Worked hard this week, so I have today off. Been listening to some new finds, smoking a bit of weed, and doing the normal runs on the interweb

bottom 1
play in an early (630am) hoops game on mon/wed/fris. i generally dont say a word on the court. some assh*le got on me for a call i made and then tried to dip his shoulder into my face (somewhat successfully) on a drive. i called him out for the bitch move, and for the fact that he couldnt guard me. yadda yadda yadda....he wanted to kill me...said he'd be waiting for me outside and stuck around even after his team lost to make sure i knew he would be there. also called me a racist out of the blue to try and get the other black dudes to take his side. funny thing is that dude is a cop.
anyway, there's only 1 way out of the gym and he wasn't there.
it serves you so many purposes jon
2). A lot of great fucking parties/events this weekend. Everything from Slum Village to Night of the Remix to Morgan Geist to The Cool Kids

Bonus:
Even though I was away for 3 weeks I was able to come back without missing a step in terms of lining up deejay gigs.
Bottom:
I hate my fucking boss, not really the job but my boss. Dude pulled some shady shit on me yesterday and it was enough to finally consider working at another place/quitting. Fuck that fool, I'm seriously tempted to punk his bitch-ass at work. And the fucker had the nerve to take the day off today. The epitome of bitch made ass

i have to say you guys are killing it lately... I am enjoying it, but not paying enough attention to it. which is probably a good thing.
Sound mind, body and soul...
1. Motivation- Nothing beats it.
2. Creativity- When number 1 happens in conjunction with number two. Like the beatnuts be sayin- watch out now. between drawing and creating some great music it feels good, no doubt...
3. Workin out- Worked out heavy the other day at a gymnastics gym, 8 yrs since i have been in one of those. i had a quick wake up call to muscles that haven't been used in that long...
4. Eating right- some fruits and veggies during the day. maybe a cliff/power bar type of thing even and a decent meal at dinner.
5. I lost 10-15lbs. Feels good. Smile.
Sounds booty and soul-less

2) Wifey graduating from law school in 2 weeks.
3) Aside from school loans we're completely debt-free.
4) Got offered a SICK job this week. It's almost like a dream job and something that 5 years ago I would have jumped at the chance to do, but nowadays it feels good to actually be able to think it over and pass on it considering everything else I've got going on these days. But I still have to think it over and if I do take it it's going to be some super dope shit.
5) Music is my driving force, still, after all these years, it's something that moves me in no other way.
2. Working out is making me feel a lot better, and look better

Little dudes, take note: do not attempt to pull out this type of 'fit if you cannot wear it on the inside.
And Brian: holler at me via email (in my profile) about your cholesterol--I got similar news two years ago and I handled it.
FIVES
1) My wife just called to say that she passed her PhD Qualifying Oral Exams. She just spent 3 hours in a room with 5 professors who could ask her anything about the 300-book reading list she was given. And it was a strong pass. I'm so proud right now, but not at all surprised.
2) Finally working on a mix CD for the first time in way too long. I made 4 remixes last weekend in prep and I'm really happy with it so far.
3) In what can only be described as a B.Cause-like rate of productivity, I have another mix CD in the works on top of the aforementioned one (hi, Noz!) and it should be a lot of fun.
4) Have a gig tonight with DJs I really like. And my wife will be in attendance, now that her exam is behind her.
5) A full weekend ahead with no responsibilities. The forecast calls for tag-poppin'.
1. going on a road trip tomorrow w/ my friend, a bunch of cameras--large format, medium format, digital, holga, etc.--and art supplies until the end of the month. hitting up south dakota, wyoming, colorado, and utah. got a grant from the art department at school to do this.
2. met a new girl that makes some ill paintings, collages, drawings, photographs
