Kelli Hanson's birthday tonight. Skate rink was closed so we all went back to Andy's. Fun hangin out with the gbox gang. I finally got a chance to meet Andy's newer assistant, Gabe, heart to heart. It was rad, we started our conversation about specs of the MPC1000 which quickly segued away from bullshit and got straight into some level 4 conversation about people, and productions, and empowerment, and how to bridge the gaps between all things that are beautiful.
hmmmm...
Interesting, because all day long me and Lyrical I we're having long heartful talks about the same stuff.

Anyways, Gabe convinced me later on in the night to bust a free style. We played some instrumentals off his ipod and gave it a shot.
What came out was a not-so-graceful but very sincere account of [A] things that happened today [B] serious issues that weigh on our heart [C] who we are and where we are going on this path through life. The act of doing this was great conditioning for me, it took the conjuring of some deeper bravery to even just let words fly uninhibited like that. Catharsis


but yea /..\ One of the most contenting days I can recall in my whole life. I didn't even really feel the need to smoke weed all that bad, all food that I ate, all the conversations that I had, the afterglow of last night, all these things got me SO in the zone that I really didn't need to smoke at all. I did anyways, but for once my primary concern was on listening to people, not on getting high.



My only qualm about today: less talk, more rock.
Don't get me wrong, I CHERISH the words that were exchanged between Lyrical and I and Gabe and I and all of us who read this right now, BUT GODDAMN, I probably spent like 10 hours today talking about how incredible the possiblities of tommorow are and how connected everything IS Gonna be come 2008.
F- that Noise ... Gabe played me a track tonight, Lyrical spit me a poem and a song tonight. I twinkled and absorbed alot tonight but it's really time to put my chips up on the table
