Yesterday was pretty intense. But for a moment it was bliss. Abbey Road. The Beatles. “Here comes the Sun King”
Mulatu Astatke - Ene Alantchie Alnorem
I’m thankful for music.
*the way this song makes me feel is the same way she does
$20 of free diarrhea. Woot woot. I’m thinking I might try and stoke out some homeless folk.
The Dells - There Is
Oh, girl, why won’t you let me love you
And let your troubled heart be free
Take heed to all my goodness
Take a hold and follow me
Now listen, baby
There is today
I am the road, I am the way
I’ll fight your fears down
Through the years
Believe me, believe me, baby
What do I do on the weekends you ask? Oh, the norm. Hang out in SF and entice little girls with lollipops to get in my creepy black as shit tinted windows van. No biggie.
I’m in San Francisco for the weekend so me and La Famosa Mimi happened to set up to meet for a brief moment. I mean I trekked over 400 miles, que le cuesta manejar 30-40 to come see me? I was a little hesitant to meet up at first. Not because of thinking she might kidnap me and torture me Pulp Fiction Gimp styley but becuase of my “is it gonna be weird and i’m gonna act retartedly shy” insecurities. Everything went smooth cept this one moment she gave me the googly eyes. I noticed. I feel like we both had a weird moment for like .087999 seconds but that goes with any first meeting with anyone. Then all of a sudden after introductions of “this is nohemi” to my crew it felt like two old friends catching up. (by the way, it’s Mimi on tumblr AND in person too, don’t forget that) Taking in the beautiful scenery at Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf we chatted about so many things. Life. Meeting for the first time. Plans. Relationships. Seals. Vallejo. Future. And we were both on our A game cause we had jokes. We LOL’d. I’m not talented at describing certain things and giving them their proper presentation to let people know how exactly or to come across and express properly how great a moment was but as we said our goodbyes and the meeting was over, all I could think was that that was a beautiful moment. She asked me if there was anything that took me by surprise or anything that I noticed that I didn’t expect. She thought she’d be taller next to me than expected. I expected to hopefully meet Mimi and have her just be as awesome as she’s been online to me the last year we’ve known each other. I’m telling you, she was on her A game cause she nailed the being awesome part. Hasta me dio una botella de vino. I didn’t get to drink it with my friends as she recommended but I will when I get back to my lovely Los Angeles and wind down an intense and lovely weekend in a city that I can’t help but feel that one day will be home. Later Tumbiland. I need me breakfast food. I only have eyes for an ommelette.
Dosed - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I knew someone had posted this a while ago. Good sheeeit.
Woot! Woot!
Dude, you beat me to the punch. I was just about to post something similar to this. There is a full Marie Callender’s Pumpkin pie waiting patiently for me in the fridge. You call it Pumpkin Pie, I call it “try eating just one slice” pie.
Dan Auerbach - Trouble Weighs a Ton (live at SIRIUS)
Trouble in the air
Trouble all i see
Does anybody care
Trouble killin’ me
Whoa it’s killin’ me
I’m back from San Francisco. I’m now back in my sweet home. I feel a lot of posts coming in the next couple days but big ups to my crew. We had a blast. L to R: Pat’s friend/Tour Guide, Patricio, Alexa (back), Taylor (front), Me and Guy (There’s only one).
James Brown - I Wanna Be Around (Live At The Apollo II)
All the hype you hear about this album being one of the greatest live albums ever is true. Stop trying hard to not give in. The 19 minute version of It’s A Man’s Man’s World is an absolute must for any music lover
