S.A.D. times call for desperate measures

i wish i had something to write about other than the fact that lately i have nothing to write about.

LA's gotten colder, and i've convinced myself that's why i'm in such a slump lately. [granted, it's still like 50-60 degrees outside].

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues, is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or, less frequently, in the summer,^[1] repeatedly, year after year. The US National Library of Medicine notes that "some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change. They may sleep too much, have little energy, and crave sweets and starchy foods. They may also feel depressed. Though symptoms can be severe, they usually clear up."^[2] The condition in the summer is often referred to as Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder, and can also include heightened anxiety.^[3]

on top of this, christmas has come and gone
[unfortunately for me, since this dope ass new kid robot quasimoto is hitting stores soon - damn you brokeness!] and i'm working a dead-end job in which the only highlight of my work day is when sabrina bryan [yes, the cheetah girl] remembers my face at the checkout counter. [cool chick, btw. and you best believe that lil' ho can curse up a STORM. no joke.]

oh, and by the other way - just to clarify, i do have at least two (2) voices in my head at all times, clearly illustrated through my frequent use of brackets ( [] ).

the world is on its head right now, i swear. obamanation is in full effect [is it bad that word isn't coming up as a misspelling? that's not really how you spell it, is it?] - good thing i don't have cable or CNN would be consuming at least 6 hours of my already short day. not to mention, i'm kinda tiring of hearing about dude. and seeing oprah's face. it's a big deal. i get it.

smh. crazy times, son.

and i heard our favorite rappers least favorite rapper is venturing into a new music genre: rock.
peep the article here or just hear this ish like i know you want to below:

ordinarily i'd be flabbergasted at such a notion but for whatever reason not much surprises me anymore, especially anything having to do with the weez.


on a kinda related note, did i tell you joaquin phoenix became a rapper?

Yahoo Movies: Joaquin Phoenix Shocks with Retirement Announcement

according to the article above, "Phoenix is apparently giving up acting to pursue music, a passion of his since he learned to play guitar to play the role of Johnny Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line." According to Billboard, Phoenix is working on an album with Tim Burgess, frontman for the UK group The Charlatans."
guess no one thought it'd be a rap album.

hardcore method actors, i salute you [*wink* you're not fooling me, joaquin].

crazy times, son.

not much else going in my world other than lots of cake and lots of movies. i just got word today that a sage francis song plays during the end credits of pride and glory. that's pretty dope news for the [pretty deep] underground hip hop community.
i love hearing hip hop in non-hip hop themed movies. [to paraphrase: movies made/with white people!] btw, do yourself a favor and see the wackness - soundtrack of the year for me.

in more hip hop news, tyler's production crew just finished shooting a video for ohio rapper blueprint, who i recently realised is the same blueprint who is signed to rhymesayers and who was recently featured on the jake one tape:

will post as soon as i get it, as i may have something of a cameo in it. say wha?

not much else going on here, folks.
my comfort food of choice lately is


mmm. take that, lactose-intolerance!

and my comfort tunes are zion i's latest and some guilty pleasure kid cudi cuts [who woulda thought?]. don't hate, try to play this

and try to make it through the day without singing it.

impossible.
