and crazy is the forecast all week...
It's amazing how much you see how songs influence other songs when you actually listen to stuff older then 7 years ago kiddies. Example, definitely heard the song that Immortal Technique sampled a portion out of for the one remix today at work.And, on ciara's 1, 2 step song..missy's verse is almost completely borrrowed from the great Teena Marie from her 1981 song Square Biz, (which the song Square Biz was sampled by The Firm for Firm Biz in 97). In music it's no suprise, alot of concepts, chorus line etc. are borrowed from other songs, but I think its somewhat laziness on the part of artists. I dont think that you shouldn't be allowed to sample because to bring an older or hot beat back is not always a bad thing, but like knowledge said in one of his posts, i think "you shouldn't be allowed to sample a song you never heard before". I know I went on a rant in an earlier post about artists descretating some of my favorite songs by "talented artists" so I'll spare anyone reading this. Oh and some useless knowledge but bow wow's new song "like u" with ciara i recognized that sample because its the same music as new edition's 80s song "I'm Leaving you again", a song which I happen to love for no reason, there is nothing exceptional about.
Alot of working, very little play. but alas, my last day is Saturday and I have a week off to do random shit and get stuff taken care of before I go to Michigan. So, I guess, I'll have the time to update more or whatever. I've been slaving alllllllll damn summer, the shit i've been going through is ridiculous. but im tough and i've gotten my shit taken care of and thats all that matters.I got my new laptop its pretty hot, I like it alot. Its usually much much more but I got it for 649.00. My old one well..its..half way alive. Me and electronics dont get along very well. I still need a new tv too before school starts back. Speaking of school, yeah definitely wrote a letter that got my scholarship back, I just hilighted my previous accomplishments and the fact that I had gotten on the Dean's List in the spring and mentioned how difficult last fall was. And it was, it was all because of ONE class too, and they actually got my financial aid right this year. Still some bs goin on, but its Kean what do you expect?

How many people will you see that you'll never get to know? Some people just have an extra "something" that makes you want to get to know them. And I think in my past I reacted to a situation so wrong it cost me someone that I could still know. It was my distraction of something or someone very temporary that didnt allow me to fully try to hold on to it. And it was his fault for being an ass true and thats not excusable, but I said to him "Even if we never talk again, I needed to have this conversation". He recited his words, words that the average guy cant just recite with so much knowledge and confidence, and here i go like I'm about to write a poem.
But, instead of clearing up the issue the next day, I acted immature and as if I didnt need to invest in a friendship or anything with him because "I had someone" that I never. and I'm not saying I was going to marry this guy..please...or even be with him, but would it hurt to know him? No, there was just something about him that was familiar and distant. So, how do I know if I did the right thing? And why did I let someone so temporary and so not even up to the level of this person's opinion bother me to the point where I had to front. I switched fantasy for reality just because of the illusion and that was stupid. I'm just saying, what if I never meet anyone like him again? what if another person never can invoke that....need. Like its so rare to be around someone that you feel like you have so much to tell them in so little time..and so many things that are bottled up that you could never tell another soul..until that moment. I'm just saying, I reacted like "it wasnt worth it" and maybe it wasn't, but I should have seen if it was, maybe should of accepted his apology and gotten to know him. Or maybe it was prophetic when i said "Even if we never talk again in life I needed to have this conversation with you". I dont know. I never know.
Peace~
