A frog never sang as beautifully,
as he did when his friend was playing a tune!

oddfellows day 1

my brother writes me an email from senegal

"Wolof is also the name of the native poeple of senegal. The word banana comes from Wolof. My favorite Wolof fact is the greeting. In senegal poeple must greet each other before talking. Greetings can last up to ten minutes of question-anwer where boith people know the question and the answer that comes next. My favorite and most intresting greeting qnd most common: Question Nanga def ? (how are you ?) Answer : Mangi fi rekk ( I am HERE ONLY).

I really like that."

music is time graffiti.

a thought from yesterday

darting through clusters of strangers while running at full speed between grand central station and port authority to make a bus leaving in seven minutes makes a lot more sense when you can't even hear the the white noise of city streets because daft punk is blasting straight into your brain.

Epictetus's Enchiridion

XVIII

If a person gave your body to any stranger he met on his way, you would certainly be angry. And you feel no shame in handing over your own mind to be confused and mystified by anyone who happens to verbally attack you?

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

the great intoxication

Who Disco?
Who Techno?
Who Hip-Hop?
Who Be Bop?
Who's been playing records in his bedroom?

Who rocks out?
Who's spaced out?
Who brings you?
Who sings you?
Who's still workin' on his masterpiece?

The great intoxication
The mental generation
Sound effects & laughter
Stupid ever after
Hopin' it was cranked up
Loud enough for you to hear

He's drunk and he's insistent
Shy but he's persistent
Boisterous & jumpy
Disorganized & funky

Every day he wonders
What the hell she sees in me?

Ah, but who saves you?
Who craves you?
Who Heartbreaks?
Who love makes?
Look into the eyeball of your boyfriend

Who drives you?
Capsized you?
Who shakes you?
Who wakes you?
Who's still workin' on his masterpiece
