Brehs, I'm thinking of taking up a martial art, but I don't know the differences... All I know if Brazilian Jujitsu is for sumps so not that one... Any suggestions?

Back from our break trip.

San Antonio is just underdeveloped as fukk. Houston has me spoiled brehs. I got small town fever once it was 10pm and there were no legit options for food except drive thrus.

Unless we're hitting up Six Flags again, I don't see myself going back.

Carving The Rosetta Stone
Elzhi's Coronation As A Knight Of The Word
“Writing is an often-painful task that can feel like the death of one’s past. Equally discomfiting is seeing one’s present commitments to truths crumble once one begins to tap away at the keyboard or scar the page with ink. Writing demands a different sort of apprenticeship to ideas than does speaking. It beckons one to revisit over an extended, or at least delayed, period the same material and to revise what one thinks. Revision is reading again and again what one writes so that one can think again and again about what one wants to say and in turn determine if better and deeper things can be said.”
-Michael Eric Dyson

The written word is the most important entity known to society. It is definition, it is emotion, it is a historical record of the past, a testimony of the present and the key to the legend of the future. The written word is our legacy, the one and only elixir of immortality. For the Ancient Egyptians it was Metu Neter, scripted across papyrus or chiseled into the tablets of the pyramids, the great deeds of the Pharaohs and the Gods were recorded into the mythology of the everlasting. Through the ages there have been scribes of whom have expertly crafted the stories of their lives and surroundings into its own sort of lore, drawing inspiration from both the external as well the internal. Introducing characters, kingdoms, heroes and villains. Fleshing out narratives that have inspired generations to come; Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Walter Mosley, William Michael Griffin, Ricky Martin Walters, Nasir Bin Olu Dara, Shawn Carter, Dennis Cole, Lonnie Rashid Lynn. Each one of these individuals have served as composers of the most vivid and descriptive works of social and environmental journalism of our time.
Jason Powers would seek to follow this path, blazing his own tale of depression, struggle, redemption, and triumph; Jason, under the pen name Elzhi, uses musical production as the stone with which to carve his own saga into the fabric of Hip Hop's legacy. Leaving behind the chapters of a man whose love for the written word gave birth to a work of superior craftsmanship. His pen is his sword, and he wields it mightily. The album is titled Lead Poison, and just as well, for Elzhi has dipped his quill in his own blood and written from the depths of his soul.

I told my moms one day that I’ll become known

Over any track I’d get dumb on even if it’s a drum and trombone

How could I’ve lost it when I’m inspired

Then keep excuses sounding tired and possibilities exhausted

To everything that’s working out for me

But don’t read me up and down to think you know my story

Cuz even when it was written for me to be poor it wasn’t written poorly

Getting tested by dropouts and old schools who sit and score me

High grades of weed who was willing to die paid

While I stayed harpin’ over how I sharpen my blade

By trade tryin’ to snatch a dream out a nightmare

Reality out a dream even though it seem I’m right where

From the album's first offering dropped in early February entitled Co-sign, Elzhi waxes poetic about the humble beginnings of a boy who would become a poet. It all begins with birth by sleep, a nightmare existing from self doubt. Elzhi snatches a dream, a memory of light, from the clutches of despair and uses it as inspiration for authoring the modification of his destiny. This is a quest that can only be taken alone, for knowledge of self is achieved through the strengthening of one's own spirit. It will not be easy, it will not come without sacrifice, he will certainly not fly to the finish line; but the belief in himself will carry him forth for he needs NO co-signs.

So dude at my job brings in two pies to work this morning. A few minutes ago, I ask him what kind of pie he brought, he tells me and then I joke with him like "why didn't you bake them from scratch, were you too busy" He says his gf took the pie to work on Monday, no one at it so he bought it here :russ:. I'm glad I didn't eat any, I would have been pissed :whew:.

Drop a few. We stayed behind the Alamodome and went to the riverwalk to try Iron Cactus with Boudros as a second option but they were all busy with 45min - 1hr wait times (this was at 8:30). I expected it to be more food options open past 10-11 in a area with heavy tourist traffic.

Brunch was good the next day tho. We went to Panchos and Gringos and had a great meal.

My thing im not really into the "americanized" haitian chicks and thats what tends to be around me for the most part since moving to Atlanta.
The homegrown types be feeling me but they're a different beast all together. My dad warned me about them mofos all throughout my childhood on some :ufdup: types talks so i can sometimes be skeptical even tho they're the ones i really like :pachaha:
Them americanized haitian chicks who dont listen to haitian music and barely speak the language nor know how to cook haitian food be having me look at them like :scust:
But you find me a haitian chick that cooks a mean grio with bannan peze while jaming to some Tabou or Zin and I'm like :blessed:
