IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME... posted on 8/07/2001 02:30:00 PM by agentCB
was all up in the bay area this weekend. erica and i have been eagerly awaiting the dogg house comedy jam starring dl hughley, tommy davidson, bill bellamy, george lopez, carlos mencia, tom rhodes and our very own rex navarette. rex had the ever tough job of opening up and he kinda had a hard time getting the audience who was all coming in late and shit, makin hella noise and junk. everyone has to pay dues.
the night was fun. dl hughley, george lopez and tommy davidson had everyone off the hinges. carlos mencia closed up with his steaming funnyman rhetoric, there is no political correctness about homeboy, everyone is fair game. in a world where making fun of people is taboo... he likes to remind everyone that they are just jokes.
but what i think he fails to see is that his "jokes" are tied and grounded in a state of mind that's based on western society and our friend capitalism. i don't see eye to eye with him, but he still funny...
AT YOUR BEST
on the way home last night from the comedy show, we heard that aaliyah was killed in a plane crash. damn, what a way to go... my condolences to aaliyah's family and to all those who ever lost someone close to them. my favorite song of aaliyah's is the isley brother's remake of "at your best" i love that song... one of my all time favorites...
PYC PICNIC
we had another picnic at the park with pyc. it was a good end of the summer unwind and summation of the year's events. versenp was there, lil twin star, the highlander was there as well. shot out to all the peeps that went.. i have an extra pack of hotdogs at home now... blech...

I finished summer school today. that's the last time i take two classes over the summer (yeah right) i start fall next monday, so i have no break. crap. anyway, i'm going ot the bay this weekend to see the dogghouse comedy jam in mountain view. me and erica are lookin forward to it. we bought the tickets back in july. that mess sold out hecka quick. i'll let ya'll know if it was good or not...
THE OTHERS
I watched that movie with the woman on wednesday. it was pretty good. i was tense throughout and pretty freaked out i must add. I kinda guessed halfway throughout the movie, but i was still freaked out as i was watching it. anyway, go watch it, i give it the agentcb seal of approval.

this morning i woke up at 5:30am. it's the first day of my circuit training class at sac city and damn, it was early. it wasn't that bad to get up though, hopefully i'll get used to it. anyway... i woke up to find that whenever i raised my left eyebrow, it hurt like a mutha... i looked in the mirror to see a small but painful zit up on my fo-head.
no in high school, i never had a real problem with acne, but every now and then i get one zit. although it's not usually big, it's hellla painful. almost to a point where whenever i touch near that area, it hurts.
i'm not complaining, but yeah this mess hurts.
it's not even ready to pop yet, it's just bulging underneath my skin. nasty. so anyway, that's my morning. i can't move my face too much. crap.

and it's not from smokin out, but from lack of sleep. i got a total of 9 hours of sleep this weekend. it was crazy, had a party at my house, went to the state fair, went fishing... basically all over the damn place. it was my little brother's 22nd birthday, yeah i say little brother but he's way bigger than me... "younger" brother sounds too formal. anyway...
we hung out with the family on sunday and hit up all of our favorite family places to go. then we went fishing at the van ness pier. unfortunately, we were unprepared for the weather, coming down in shorts to experience the 40 degree change in weather. it was 100 in sacto this weekend, and i think it was about 60 something in s.f. damn the fog.
anyway i sold out to the corporate man yesterday and forked over 40 bones to IKEA. i got some stuff for my room and some picture frames for erica. i got alot for my money, which usually prevails over my secret fight against capitalism (i keep switching sides every time i hit up walmart, dang)
i barely woke up today, i could have used another hour of sleep, but i was already late for work. i woke up to a mess of ikea bags, and a bunch of crap all over my room. i need to clean my room...
oh and also, i haven't been finishing my sentences lately. i'm concerned, i wonder what that

ok so something happened to my ride, aight... now i roll in a 94 olds achieva. i think i'm the only filamer that drives an American car... anyway, that's another issue in of itself... my brother's cell phone charger shorted out something in my car, now my cigarette lighter and door locks don't work. the fuses are fine which is buggin me out because i dunno where to go from here. dammit, looks like i might have to do go to the dealer again...
happy birthday shot out to my brother who is turning 22 today.... old ass mofo... hahah it's all downhill from there so they say... i think that's for people that choose to not to take the more challenging path of life, one that goes uphill all the way... see u at the top bro...
i had my eye appointment today, found out i am now -5.75 in my left eye and -6 in my right eye... translated... i'm blind as fuck... damn. i didn't have much of a jump from my last perscription but dang, i'm -6 now... that's pretty high. the optometrist was a student from cal optometry school, i had flashbacks of moms taking me to beauty school to get cheap haircuts done by hair styling students. my hair was easy to do back in the day, just put a bowl over my head and cut around it. but u know, everytime i went, they found a new way to jack it up... wtf
WHERE A KID CAN BE A KID
we hit up chuck e. cheese today with the drug/alcohol program at work. brought some of the youth with us. i went back to 8th grade for a day and hit up the skee ball and tried to pull out extra tickets from the machine by pulling slowly... yeah so i'm ghetto, so what.. what u know about the ghetto... anyway... erica and i got hooked up by the ticket lady... she got a cup and i got cotton candy and some fake teeth... ah to be young again...

today was the second to last day of my EDC 210 class. for the non counseling heads that translates to "multicultural counseling." we turned in our papers today and yeah i did mine... it's not up to par, maybe i'll put it up someday... i'm not too proud of it.
class was an issue in of itself. this class was supposed to be about me and other people of color, but yet i felt cheated. the class was ABOUT me but it wasn't FOR me. or at least that's what i felt it was like. i spoke my mind but it seemed like i wasn't being heard. i was challenging the professor because he was only showing one side of shit. man, me and a few of the other colored cats in there would get heated on occasion. that's not too good.
anyway, i realized that it was more for the euro-american peeps in our class. they had to experience the BS that we went through and i guess they weren't ready for the shit we had to say... i told my class today, if they want to hear more, let me know and i'll lay it down for em... shiet... other than that, the class was cool... i think there should be another class after this though. to get into more ethnic studies type ish... we on some playground shit right now. i was not feelin it at all...
the reason why i'm being picky is because this is supposed to be a counseling program and we're supposed to be working with clients of all colors, i want to make sure these peeps got their shit straight u know what i'm sayin? damn... at least they tryin though... i give them that. there was a lot of doors opened in that class, some growth but i think for the most part, it was interesting to see how white people dealt with discussions of racism...
and to think i held back in class... shiet...

while i logged in to this blogalicious thing, a word caught my eye in the column called "latest blogs" or whatever the hell it's called. the word was "devilishpinay." now the name itself warrants at least one visit. turns out we got pinoys/ays in texas... check out lil homegirl do her thang
i'll forgive her for dissing hiphop in my guestbook since she's still young... hmph! let this be a warning young one. hehe
PAPERCHASE
i'm not talkin about the skrill, bones, dough, cash. i'm not talkin about the song by mountain brothers (even though it's one of my all time favorites).
i wish i was though...
unfortunately, i'm talkin about writing a paper. damn, it's been a few months since i did my last one, and yo... have a few cobwebs up in my brain so i gotta shake em. luckily it's about multiculturalism... but yeah maybe that's a bad thing cuz i can go off... yet i need to limit it to 5 pages.
we'll see how it turns out... maybe i'll link it up here if i get an A... haha

decisions decisions. there are times where u don't know what to do about things. i guess u could say i'm at one of them right now. it's not lookin good and i think in time like the roots said "things fall apart" but that doesn't mean u can't put things back together after. oh well. we'll see what happens

damn, there's nothing worse than being sick in the summer. you're already feeling crappy from being sick then add the crappy feeling of being hot. it's not a good thing. summer has once again hit sacramento. i heard on tv that the california energy crisis is over, that's only because it hasn't been as hot this year. if it was, we'd all be screwed, gathering at the local malls to looch off of their free a/c.
so anyway, i got this draining thing going on from my nose. dripping into my friggin throat and aggravating my already asthmatic condition. ain't that a bizznatch. add this dizziness thing and u got something that u can't write off as "allergies"
although i thought that's what it was at first.
so anyway, since i'm home, i might as well blog i say to myself. it's been a while since there were 2 consecutive days of bs up in this mug. anyway... i'm thinkin of remodeling this beezy... we'll see... it depends if i clean up my room first or not... if i can muster up enough energy to move around.
out.

i blogged 3 weeks ago/ leavin' all u readers friggin' hangin' like pinocchio/here we go/i'm red 2 go again... ok um yeah, enuff with the flowage. first of all, i'm back... FAYLC is done and i only have pyc, work and grad school to worry about. oh and finishing my cd... which by the way still lies nameless.
if anyone has any ideas for me i'm game. basically my cd is 1/3 r&b (borderline adult contemporary) 1/2 hip hop and the rest spoken word. all songs have the current theme of GOOD CONTENT. i repeat GOOD CONTENT. when u listen, u can actually hear issues, emotions and good ol' asswhippin battle-rhymes. i produced all the songs on the cd and my friends and i wrote all the stuff. whoever you hear on this either wrote their own stuff or i helped write as well.
ECHOES
anyway, FAYLC was this weekend and as ever, it was a memorable experience. melan1773 and i were program coordinators and we put together the workshops and all the content of this year's conference. it was very interesting to see all of our ideas come to life and to have about 80 taking part in something you planned... it's like *woah* (cue black rob cd). i thought the conference went pretty well, considering we only had a little under 2 months to put it together. bluefrums was the coordinator and she got everything together with the quickness.
the conference was at clair tappan lodge on donner summit, u know the place where the donner party ate each other. (side note: did u know that donner party ate their native american guides first? damn, the fuckers ate the only people that would know how to get them out of that place! what a blatant case for racism! haha j/k i don't know for sure if it was racist or not, but damn, i wouldn't be surprised.) it was a cool place, but the elevation was killin' my lungs. everyone had a fun time and most involved learned something new either about their culture or about themselves.
now that FAYLC is over, it was back to bball... after about a week, jay-bee tim dawg, kentot and i had it out last night on the glenroy blacktop in front of my house (read: hoopin in the front yard) we played for 2 hours and i swear i thought my lungs were gonna cave in. i also have time for school and to finish my CD.
i had better get to work... i want to get my CD done before school starts...
