Gimme an F: “F!” That’s right an R and then two E’s. I need a Verse: “Verse!” Just soul clap and sing with me: “We want it Fri, day! ‘Cuz Friday the Verse is Free!” Welcome back, ya’ll, to the Change I Wish to See. _________ The funny thing about this whole FVF thing is [...]

Allegedly, I’m there. You know, there, right? That place on the American life’s timeline where engagements and real estate purchases make their appearances; the one where your parents do a stellar job of “subtly” remarking on the preciousness of grandchildren; the place where you either start watching Rogaine commercials more closely or start waxing your [...]

Greetings. Salutations. So… there may be two posts in your reader from me today. Sorry about that. The first was a lie. Er, maybe not a lie. I never lie. But it is still FVF! Gimme an F: “F!” That’s right an R and then two E’s. I need a Verse: “Verse!” Just soul clap [...]

This post marks the third year of this blog. It’s my blogoversary. Next year will be my tenth year in DC — a city known for transience. I have seen many people come with lofty local aspirations but go and others insist the grass is greener elsewhere but stay (*ahem* myself *ahem*). I have never [...]
somewhere between superstition and certainty

“Space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in a Hollywood basement.” When Californication came up on shuffle yesterday, I was just so sure Anthony Kiedis was right — that a lot of things we believe really just have a production quality high enough to convince us they’re real. And maybe he’s right. I’ve [...]
just might be an ADDiction

I need another project. Got anything for me? Just a little to get me through. Not much; just enough to get from now to tomorrow. I gotta stay one jump ahead of the breadline; one swing ahead of the sword. I am so the guy who wants to be keyed in most of the time. [...]

Two familiar characters — Brain and Soul — have been arguing. Let’s eavesdrop. _____________ s: … you promised! b: I would never have done that. s: you said if i just kept swimming… i’d be at the other side by now b: I said no such thing. s: you DID! but i’m not there yet… [...]

Fathers: you can’t live with ‘em, your moms couldn’t have popped you out without ‘em. Am I right? Am I right? *crickets* *one chair squeaks* *people start leaving* Wait. Wait. Come back! Bad jokes aside — and I can’t promise there won’t be more — I have a point. I just haven’t figured out how [...]
heartbroken.
Posted in celebrity, journal, music, video on June 26, 2009 | 32 Comments »
If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. There are a lot of people who don’t and I understand that. But, for many of us, losing Michael Jackson is heartbreaking. It’s not that I don’t care about the widely-believed rumors. I did and I do believe that there was much more to those rumors [...]

b: Oh, hi, Soul. It’s been… s: hey, Brain… weeks, months? b: Right. Wow. How’ve you been? s: crushed b: Yeah? s: by a house from Kansas b: A house from Kansas? s: i’ve had great plans for you… but every time i get at all close, it seems, i get crushed by the unimaginable… [...]
