It's So Hard Where I Wanna Be

the oddest thing happend on the way to my pillow...

I had a tiny snack (fruit, b!tches) and played a few songs from Donell Jones' classic album from a few years back. Ok, well actually I played the ones I like, which include, "You Know What's Up" (the popular one), "Where I Wanna Be" (the title track), and "This Luv" (my personal favorite). And then I lamented..."dam, son was nice with his."

Then, I hop back onto the Toshiba and what just happens to play as I'm listening to my trusty play list? None other than Big Pun's track, "It's So Hard", featuring Donnell Jones. It's not like I really liked the song all that much, but it will forever be cemeted in my memory for the mishap that occurred one sunny August afternoon in Watertown. I briefly spelled the DJ we hired (because I like doing that when I can) and played a few tracks while improving on the turntables. Anyways, I launched this song and wnet digging inthe crates for my next discovery. When I came up it took a while to register in my brain why everyone had a look of horror on their faces. But then, once I paid closer attention to which version I had played, it became plainly evident that I should switch it up. Yeah, it was a family fun day, B. My bad. I don't really sing choruses too much so whatever. But ever since then I've made extra sure to pay attention to whether I'm playing the clean version or the uncut version whenever I jump on anyone's turntables. Lesson learned. (or is it lesson learnT?)

AHAHAHA! Oh man, that sucks (@ playing the eplicit version). I made a booboo like that on the radio in college one time. WHEW! Anyhow, I do like when coincidences like that happen -- I'll be singing a song in my head and I turn the radio on. . lo and behold, that same song is playing on the radio (and I'm not talking the top 40 sh*t that plays all day er'day).
