I’m listening to bubba sparxxx “ain’t life grand.” I really like dude. I was feeling deliverance... I’m surprise it didn’t catch on. This song smells like organized noise and outkast… I love that:

“ain’t life grand
Working to the bone
Getting it then its gone
You keep on or you don’t
Ain’t life grand
You Sit and wonder about it
You hope and wish you got it
You try your best to hide it
You laugh to keep from crying
One day you’re on a high then next day you wish you dieing
Folks hate it when you balling they rather see you falling”

I wanted to leave the profile I did on Pook Diesel up, but since he put it on his website I guess I can retire it now--- ;-) check it: http://www.pookd.com/

I just had my first article published last week by the Santa Monica Mirror- FRONT PAGE!! (http://www.smmirror.com/MainPages/DisplayArticleDetails.asp?eid=2959) It’s on affordable housing on the Westside. Its my first one so of course it means a lot to me, but it’s also about the community I grew up in. It feels like fate... like “it was written.”

I’m already working on my next assignment. I feel a little bit more comfortable calling myself a writer. I spent todays lunch break doing interviews! It was fun. I’m still aiming for XXL, the Source, Rolling Stone- I’m coming. I just all of a sudden felt like watching “almost famous.” Haha

Thanks and peace1
