Make me wanna leave the city when I can't take a vacation

-Common & Q-Tip, "Stolen Moments Pt III"

i took an ill break from blogging for so many reasons, it'd take a couple hundred posts to catch up. so instead, i'll do the quick re-cap and then keep it moving. because the temperature is dropping, the leaves are falling, but the sun is still out.

i did a lot of writing his summer. so much in fact that i think i had been upset when the summer started because i accidentally misplaced a couple of "sheets" of poetry. hola at neverland. so anyways, i went hard at it and came up with some modest stuff to hold me down. that was definitely a highlight; building and breaking bread with my peoples. my fellow poets. and i don't even like to consider myself as such. i'm just a cat that be writing shT that he feels like saying. it's kind of like the approach i take to talking. i like to use measured sentences and think before i speak. i enjoy the process of writing and revising my own words on paper until it sounds exactly how i want it to sound when emitted from the tip of my tongue.

aside from that, i got to do a lot of hanging out - much more than usual - due to an extended break. and that has seen its own dividends as well. music-wise, the pharaoh monch album is fuqin phenomenal. point blank. and i played mucho b-ball, too. but no tan. oh well. i'm mad dark-skinned as it is. lol. but i only had maybe 2 or 3 days off all summer, so i'm kind of drained to start the new school year. i need an energizer and some patron. ha.

in other news, i'm not going to even bother re-hashing all of the old news that has since passed. but i will say that I'm siding with Vick, Bonds, and the Jena 6. My Celtics game schedule will have to step it up a notch from the current 6-8 home games per season, to at least a good dozen with both KG and RayRay in town. but i don't think i'll ever make it to a patriots games. not in my lifetime. that wait is dumb stupid.
