Fights, finds and a runner at Jet Rag on a Sunday

The fight was over by the time I walked up.  Somebody had
gotten punched and kicked and somebody else had their
feelings hurt.  Security had to break it up and made everybody
involved put their clothes back and leave.  It was a sad day 
for this mob on the mean streets of La Brea.  
You don’t want to fight an LA hipster over second hand clothes,
whose off 2 hours of sleep and a night filled with yola and pabst.  
That’s like telling a drunk white guy dropping the n-bomb, “you’re 
not black” after a Mac Mall show…In Everett.  It’s really tempting, 
but probably not a good idea.  

The madness…
I saw the Starter Logo barely peeking out of a giant pile of 

bullshit.  Sure enough, it was the classic 49ers.  For a buck. But  
what was at first a for sure come-up to cop, turned out to 
have a couple busted sleeves and some tar on one of the 
shoulders.  I reluctantly saved my dollar.  
Mr. Rogers.  Just a little too shmedium.  

How could I not?  This is insta party on cloth.  The ribbon dangling
shows women that you have a sense of humor and don’t take yourself
too seriously.  Yet the fact that it’s a tux shirt let’s them know that
there’s a good chance you’ll be able to afford a condo within the next
couple years.  
On the other hand the red and purple sequined balloons
immediately put your sexuality into question by everybody at the party.
But this is fine.  You know who you are.  And for some reason, if women
think you’re gay it gives you free range to dry hump as much leg as
you can on the dance floor, thus loosening up their inhibitions. And 
because you might be “gay” you get to slide on getting called a pervert.  
They subconsciously think, “this is fine that he’s got a boner on my 
thigh, he’s a gay.”  And once you start making out at the bar and they
realize you’re Wilt Camberlin straight, they assume you’re super 
secure in the bedroom.  Plus, if you’re not a dancer you can lie and say 
you made the shirt yourself, getting pretty much the same results.
The night is yours my friend, and you get to do whatever you want to it.
It’s 1999.  Now party like it.     
I haven’t really gotten over the velour days of the early 00’s.  
There’s something that’s still dope to me, thinking back to the
lime green Sean Jean masterpieces you could find at Marshalls 
1 out of every 12 times you went.  
And if you’ve never tried on velour sweats without drawls, 
you should still consider yourself a virgin.  The combo is 
like having a big vagina in your pants that moves with 
every step you take, lightly blowing wind against your Alphonzo.  
However, definitely don’t buy the pants at the dollar swap 
meet.  There’s a flu out there.  Be safe.

Happy Kanye West Day

Yesterday the homie George gave me a glimpse of the Air Yeezy’s 
before they were released to the public.  About a dozen recession 
proof citizen’s, waited outside the store armed with chairs, 
sleeping bags and baseball bats in hopes to score their size of 
the these futuristic skytops obsidean dreamweavers.  They had 
been there since Thursday since about 4pm, waiting for Saturday 
at 11am.  

Ok, Radjaw commented on my pictures yesterday.  Son of a 

bitch.  He brought to my attention that with some editing it 
would do the blog a bit of good.  I agree.  But as for now, I’m 
rolling with the raw until I get back to the town.  Radjaw, will 
be in charge of all editing until then.  Which means they’ll stay
stock.  
And in honor of Kanye West Day, Thomas decided to dress 
up like the shoe.  Instead of waiting in line for 40 hours and 
spending $250, he’s going put that money towards single sticks, 
beer, and really good shake that actually gets you pretty high
for the next 6 days.  Good call my friend.  Good call.

MURS is on one with this

I got this over at my new favorite blog http://guerillabusfare.com.  
I haven’t been following MURS too heavy over the past 4-5 years, 
but every once and a while he has a song that gives me the “I should 
have wrote that” feeling (which is also known as inspiration).  
Despite his super simple cadences and outdated pocket, the dude
has a way of simplifying heavy concepts and making them accessible 
to the masses.  And regardless of my over analytical examination 
of his craft, I would prefer people were exposed to this far more then 
the over saturated swagged out generation of rappers who sound cool, 
but don’t say shit.  Their shelf life is as long as the blog post, and it’s
becoming easier to see who’s got a publicist and whose actually making
good music.  
Oral tradition passed on and received.  And it’s wack I feel like I have to 
say pause after that.  damn…
