Is Martin Luther King Jr. Smiling?

Dear Jay Dilla.

I just received your latest CD as a gift. It is beautiful. I am glad it came into my life. I really needed it this past weekend. The audio textures and layers are magnificent.
I love hearing the elements of other songs on the instrumentals.
We miss, appreciate and love the soulfullness in your music. In fact I think that is why so many folks lament the loss of the Golden Age of Hip Hop.
We rock with the murder, murder, murder, kill, f*ck die, 9 bullets type of music, but we want the soul too. The music on this cd represents an effort for you to connect the essence of Black american music, elements of cuban jazz, and Fela's afro punk in 47 audio minutes.
Some people/artist go their entire lifetimes and never accomplish what you managed to produce in one cd.
We salute you.

I am hungry.

Not hungry just thirsty. Sad, tired, flustered, lonely. I went to sleep lissening to illmatic. You know I must be feeling it if that sh*t was the soundtrack to my dreams.

I am glad Nasir has Kelis. They complement one another.

Sunny outside but contracts calls. I still can't focus. L-school is designed so that those in the MINORITY either drop out or do so poorly that they might as well.

I just found out that my 'sister' mean sexy is IN LOVE with a Mr. DJ from last year. Why nigg@s be coming out the woodworks with sh*t. Yall can't be putting me through changes like that. You gotta give me a heads up or something. Sh*t I'm flying on a wing and a prayer as it is.

It hurts to know this and experience it.

I just sent an e-mail apology to a friend who was going through the exact same thing three years ago. We were TIGHT. I mean super tight. I didn't know. We had a misunderstanding. I would love to hear from her but if I don't its cool. It just felt good to let her know that I NOW have an idea of what she was going through.

Gotty thank you for complementing my writing. It may seem innocuous to you but it means a lot to me.

Brazilain sex. Read about a Brazilian Call Girls tell of sex and its various perceptions here.

I find this interesting.

I know of several men in NYC who like to "go to brazil" with their men friends for vacation.

I have allways suspected its is because of beautiful women for sale and the perceived Brazilian loose mores towards sex.

Carnival and the general sensuality that seems to permeate the atmosphere can give the impression that Brazil is unusually permissive and liberated, especially compared with other predominantly Roman Catholic nations. But experts say the real situation is far more complicated, which explains both Bruna's emergence and the strong reactions she has provoked.

"Brazil is a country of contradictions, as much in relation to sexuality as anything else," said Richard Parker, a Columbia University anthropologist who is the author of "Bodies, Pleasures and Passions: Sexual Culture in Contemporary Brazil," and has taught and worked here. "There is a certain spirit of transgression in daily life, but there is also a lot of moralism."

U.S. prepares for 'A Day Without an Immigrant'

Organizers plan massive boycott on Monday to stop business as usual

If all goes as organizers plan, major American cities will be disrupted Monday by what's being called "The Great May 1st Boycott," or "A Day Without an Immigrant."

"Millions of workers, men and women without documents and their s

upporters who are, in fact, legal United States citizens will heed the call to not go to work," said Juan Jose Gutierrez, national coordinator of Latino Movement USA and one of the lead organizers of Monday's planned boycott. (Watch why organizers say the boycott is needed -- 1:40)

"Many hundreds of thousands of students, perhaps millions, will stay away from school and people will not shop and will not sell anything," Gutierrez said. (Immigration by the numbers)

Wowsa. It only makes me wonder what would happen if we threw in some under employed negros and white folks into the mix (HI WALT), what would happen?
