Well... not really. But I'm pretty sure I would know how to if I became so desperate.

Went to Best Buy to waste some time and I saw something called Drive+play by harman/kardon... pretty much an ipod radio transmitter on steroids.

I saw them for 20 bucks... couldn't pass it up!

So... I spent a lot of my night taking my dashboard apart and gutting my stereo. I made a lot of mistakes (didn't unhook the battery... blew a fuse that took me an hour to find) and pretty much wired, re-wired, repeated for 3 times.

It really sounds great... you wouldn't believe it's just an FM transmitter.

Now I can say I'm pretty confident how to install stereo stuff... the right way.

the blunt club in Tempe... Usually known as Club Red.

Every Thursday they have an underground hip-hop... thing. It was pretty dope... to say the least.

I met up with my cuz Angel, Mike Steezy, and this other guy Chris. We probably showed up at 1045... It was crazy late.

Abstract Rude was great....

He's an underground legend... seen him years before with Mikah 9 and Aceyalone as Haiku d'etat.


Then Busdriver took the stage...

Man this guy is weird... but genius.

He did a few classics... everyone went crazy when 'imaginary places' came on... that song live was RIDICULOUS!

This was definitely one of the best and weirdest shows i've been too.

Why are artist all about smoking weed? I just think it's weird and unnecessary... who really cares?

AND... there were people pop locking everywhere... it was soooo dumb. I could imagine if they were messing around and having fun... but some people were serious... AND SUCKED!

at the end of the show the dj threw on a NAS track 'Hip Hop is dead'.... people actually gathered around them! We all looked at each other with that "seriously?" look.

That's about when we left... good show... weird crowd.

Then... as i was relieving myself between some cars.... Busdriver so happened to walk by.... told him good set... looked like he didn't care... i went home.

Okay... so I haven't been on in a while... but here's the latest development.


SCREENPRINTING!!!

Got some supplies from a vendor... got some stickers from the USPS... painted them white... then screenprinted my face on them.


Not too shabby for my first time I think. The way these came out has me excited to do some more stuff. On the heavier side of things....

My grandmother passed away last night. It was comfortable with the situation because I just knew it was her time.

I was more worried about my pops. As strong of a man he is... something like this could break anyone really.

What surprised me was i went to go fill up his tank yesterday... before she passed... and he was listening to a christian talk radio station. That really threw me for a loop.

I was also thinking... why is it only when things are awry most of us take God seriously? When everything's good... we dont... but once we understand or the gravity of life and how much we actually lack control.... that's when we see God... or at least seek Him.

As for my dad.... He seems to be mourning... but okay with her passing. I really believe that the prayer of friends and family has blessed my family. I've never heard of other people in my family talking about God... until last night when I came back to Tolleson after she passed.

God shows up in the darkest places and brings light.
