You Care About Me

YOU (who is like a puzzle of the most complex structures created by man, missing a few pieces but containing some from another, & left here with no hopes of return due to loss of receipt while standing directly in front of me for a full view of my patiently waiting like the most loyal of puppies- swollen heart & fake smile, sunshine or rain) CARE ABOUT ME.



& another one.

You Love Me

YOU (who wouldn't have the slightest clue about the quiet nights & wishful thinking that scream unfulfillment as you squint your eyes as hard they allow for a blurry glimpse of a future) LOVE ME.

PS- stop fucking with me. i'm on a roll.

Sourface: All I Want

I want your actions to reflect your awkward words.
I want for you to stop saying, "We're chillin', I'm happy where we are."
For you to understand that there's a difference between hearing and listening.
For you to listen to me.
For you to remember what I said 3 seconds ago- while you were watching the game highlights.
For you to follow through- with everything.
For you to understand that you're not the only one who had a shitty day.
For you to clarify who all these girls are (without feeling like I'm getting into "your personal").
For you to be just as jealous as me.
For you not to leave an hour or so right after we're done.
For you to return the favor.
For you to let me know if I should keep my love life on hold- or what.
For you to come to the rescue.
For you to lock it down, before a smarter dude does.
For you not to play dumb.
For you to realize that chicks this loyal come a dime a dozen.
For you to commend me for this naive loyalty.
For you to start treating me the way you can and should.
For you to daydream about the different ways to propose to me- not because you want to marry me... but because the idea doesn't seem so farfetched.
For you to realize all that we could be for each other.
For you to write me a song- but not only because I keep asking.
For you to make me feel like a priority in your life.
For you to make me feel that if I gave you an ultimatum, you'd pick the right choice without hesitation.
For you to look at me and see an almost perfect creation of woman.
For you to make me feel that you'd be hurt, affected, distraught if I decided to keep it moving.
For you to introduce me to your mother.
For you to fuck me- MENTALLY.
For you to believe in me, in us.
For you to be my #1 fan back.
For you to never again associate those unappreciative ex-girlfriends with me. Ever.
For you to stop letting me settle for less.
For you to read this poem.

=)

PS- kind of a bold move to put this up, but I like this poem. Not bashing anyone, so please nobody get their panties in a bunch. Enjoy it, whether you can relate to it or not.

Wait... What?

People need to get a LIFE.

(But did you peep their hurt shoulders?!)

Happy Birthday Pac

I actually made myself sad watching this little clip.
Yeah, I disagreed with a whole stack of shit that came out of dude's mouth, but the world was really blessed to have spent the little time it did with Tupac.
Sometimes I sit back & wonder what music would be like him today.
What would dude be saying if he was making new shit today?
It's cool that he made so much music before his "death" because his spirit lives on but... you know what I mean?

Pac turns/would've been (I seriously don't know what to believe!) 38 years young today.

I couldn't find the video to this song, my favorite... but I love that he went to a high school & spit that first verse with so much feeling.

One of my favorite songs- ever.

Rest in Peace.

Mos Def- Pistola

" If you wanna fall in love, then where should you stand to begin with?
& when the fall is done, how bad should you plan to get injured?
& if you land on your feet, do it count as a fall or a jump?
& do it feel like a fall when the hands that pushed you were holding you up?"

this maaaaaaaaaaaan...

Mos Def- The Ecstatic

It has arrived...

& I must say it's so eclectic & random.
I love it.
He has this movie excerpt thing going on that I know will take me time to get used to & actually pay attention.
He's singing all over the place which we love & the flow is as sick as ever.

I was just telling homegirl B that it's going to be so fun this summer, deciphering the lyrics & knowing the album inside out.

So far, standout tracks include: Quiet Dog Bite Hard, Priority, Life in Marvelous Times, Auditorium (w/ SLICK RICK!!!!), History ( w/ Talib!), & way up on my list- Casa Bey.

But wait... why am I late on Mos' spanish flow? Why am I just recently finding out (from my cousin Johnny!) that dude's spanish flow is legit. Reminds me of Tego! Got a track on here called, "No Hay Nada Mas"... & maybe it's The Boogie Man Song of THIS album =)

The usual quirky "I don't really give a fuck if I sound random because I'm feeling myself so hard & I know this shit is hot" vibe carries throughout the album.

All I wanna do is understand, listen to, memorize, & enjoy this album.

Homework? Art History? YMCA? I have an album to love here, people.

This is all I'm about right now, & it feels good.

I'm not about to get into what Mos Def means to me lol

Check the album, period

=)
