To Cop or to Keep: 49ers Starter Jacket


One of my finds has a new home! I've never quite sold anything this way before either. I posted a pic on Instagram, had it tweeted, and within minutes I already had a responses.

Chatting with Michael Rapaport

I was watching Friends last night and it happened to be an episode with Michael Rapaport playing Phoebe's cop boyfriend. It reminded me of when I sat to chat with Rapaport about his documentary on a Tribe Called Quest.

I'm not entirely comfortable in front of a camera, partly because I stutter. Yes, I ssssstttttuuuuttttteeerrrrr. So don't judge me. Funny because when I'm teaching a class full of kids, my talk is stammer-free.

Read about the interview on M.I.S.S.

Dig Deep and Move On

From what I can remember in my dreams last night...

I put earthworms in my hair for decoration, and then after realizing how terrified I am of them, I freaked out and tried to take them out.

I was also going through a move of some sort....packing up books and things.

Earthworm
To see an earthworm in your dream indicates that you need to go deep into your unconscious in order to unearth your hidden feelings and desires. Alternatively, earthworms symbolize little things that can be beneficial for your growth and well-being. It also represents renewal. Perhaps you need to restore some aspect of yourself.

Moving
To dream that you are moving away signifies your desire or need for change. It may also mean an end to a situation or relationship; you are moving on. Alternatively, it indicates your determination and issues regarding dependence/independence.

Word

I went against my word twice today.  I'll fix that tomorrow.  

I tried to send some words, type some letters, and it didn't work.  

Instant karma.

Now I'm exchanging words with someone who I haven't spoken to in awhile.

Arrows of truth.  Words that can hurt.  Opinions and speculations.

I've been thinking a lot.  This is nothing new.  
I'm sure it's the same with everyone.  
But it's what I've been thinking of that really makes me think.

Reflectiph.
Meditatiph.  

Below the surface.  Diggin' reallllllll deep.  
Under the landfills, underneath the limestone.

To the core.

A White Lotus


On my ride home from work today, I found myself daydreaming about exotic cars. I'm talking Ashton Martin, Bugatti, Ferrari, etc. Maybe I even thought of a Lotus. I glance to my right and I see a white Lotus straight cruisin'. This is in San Leandro, not a place where I'd ever expect to see a Lotus, especially driving so slow!

I snapped this shot, then drove faster.
The driver looked almost like Tony Hawk.

Looking back at this photo now, I see a van for an alarm company.
What does this mean?

White Lotus represents the state of spiritual perfection and total mental purity.

You on point, TiPP?


Back in the days when I was a teenager, before I had status and when I had a pager, you could find the Artiffact, listening to hip hop, I used to scratch the tracks, and bounce when the beat dropped.

Yup, that's true. My favorite track to scratch was "Check the Rhime" by A Tribe Called Quest. I would cut up Phife Dawg's part where he goes:
You on point, Tip?
All the time, Phife. I'm not going to lie...I think my cuts were on point! And if you didn't know, TiPP was one of my names.

But anyways, Tribe was one of my favorites to listen to, and I had a chance to catch their new documentary by Michael Rapaport.
