Something interesting to think about ..
Chances are in 15-20 years, someone famous whose work you enjoyed or whom you admired or who had a huge influence on who you are as a person will die each day…and probably even more than one a day. And that’s just you…many other famous people will have died that day who mean something to other people. Will we all just be in a constant state of mourning?

Yeah
As a shorty playing in the front yard of the crib
Fell down, and I bumped my head
Somebody helped me up and asked me if I bumped my head
I said yeah
So then they said oh so that mean we gon, you gon switch it on em’?
I said yeah, flipmode, flipmode is the greatest
Knowing as a shorty, I was always told
That if I ain’t gon’ be part of the greatest
I gotta be the greatest myself–Busta Rhymes
I had a massive headache when I went to bed last night. (Why?)
I woke up with a slight headache; I dealt with it. It went away, for the most part.
I went to Pizza Hut. Their door is about 6′-8″. I am 6′-8″. The spring/bracket/mechanism/whatever on the door is about 6′-6 1/2″. I hit my head on it. It hurt.
I went home to see my parents after their trip to Brazil. The doorway from the kitchen to the living room is 6′-6″ (we measured). I haven’t lived there for 3+ years, and forgot this tiny fact. I hit my head on it. It hurt (so much, that I fell over in pain).
I now have a large goose-egg on my head, and am pretty upset & irritable. Bah.
Being tall is nice when you need to reach something, and when your girlfriend likes her men tall, but that’s about it.
I can die happy now — I got to see Brandtson live in concert. They were so, so good; I can’t even describe. I got to see The Beautiful Mistake too .. and they were also good.
My happiness was shortlived, however, when Dead Poetic got on stage and sucked — real bad. Maybe he was just sick .. or maybe he just can’t sing and its all produced; I’m favoring the latter.
Brandtson should’ve headlined.
And in 100% completely unrelated news, Jtosh is the man. The man, I tell you. The man.
