Behold my blogging might! Bow before my power to make you giggle! Tremble as I break your very soul with every typo! And pray to your false idols as I betray my very band with each instance of poor grammar! Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Cool.

Work work work. Tomorrow is my day off! Yay! Sadly this go-round I don't get to bask in the glory that is my middle-day as I switched my Tuesday and Thursday so I could go to Seattle and not, ya know, get fired. Pfft.

Went over to Chan Chan's last night and played hung out. We discussed things of great importance...like our competitiveness and mutual stubbornness, as well as my lack of exciting and intellectually stimulating text messages, which I believe drew her to me in the first place. We played the first level of Lego Indiana Jones and I like that I can beat her up as much as I like and not stop the game. This is why me and Kevin could never get through Double Dragon when we were younger. I also really enjoy rollos.

Today she had the day off, and between sleeping in and napping, her and Leila joined me for lunch at Josh's Fusion Cafe. Clearly the group at Josh's know that I don't have a kid, but I didn't realize that some of the coworkers that were there wouldn't have this fact stored in their databases. It's like when people ask if Gareth is my dad...only backwards. I like it, but it does feel disrespectful to oldboy. However, if Leila was my baby, I would splice her DNA with Shark DNA and wield the most powerful weapon known to man: A half shark, half baby, all adorable killing machine! That is all. Go do your homework. 

Soooo we didn't play video games last night. Turns out we were going to play on the Wii and I forgot to bring an extra nunchuck. Instead we witnessed the struggle between bananas and peas in Leila's mouth, her slippery baby butt, and her love for trying to eat things that people can't/shouldn't eat. After Leilabean passed out Chandra and I shot the shit and proceeded to engage in what I like to refer to as a competition. A competition where no one wins.

When I got to work this morning (11am is morning, right?) I was greeted with alarming news. It was all over the blogs and in AP reports in less than an hour, but the website of my employer was unavailable for several hours today. I don't know why, which is good since it means I didn't have to lie to anyone who called in when our site eventually went back up. The phone numbers to call us are all on the site, and when the site can't be accessed, it means that we don't get many calls for a little while. Which was really nice...until the site went back up. Grumble.

MC Lars ended up showing us much love on his myspace blog and I hope that encourages more cool people to check out our musica. I learned that Shael has shifted all his focus to The Grammar Club and isn't going to be doing a solo album any time soon. That sucks, but on the album there will be a few songs that will only have Shael which means we will hopefully get top notch versions of the killer tracks Shael had been floating around for his solo album. And in sad news it's looking like I won't be able to do the Meltdown show. I have no idea how I'm going to tell Tracy. 

Last night I watched anime...willingly...and I..I...kinda liked it! Oh sweet mother of God, the end times have finally come!

Watched the last half of Akira (still don't like that one) but then me and Al watched Princess Mononoke and I was digging it. There are tentacles and it gets really hippie powered during a lot of parts, but I love how the bad guys aren't all bad and the good guys aren't so good, and the main character actually feels like a true peacemaker. I can see why Karl raps about anime in general. There is a lot of imagery and overall weird shit one could write rhymes about.

Playing video games tonight...in theory. I haven't sat down with a good game in a while save for playing Advance Wars for a weekend. I say in theory because, well, sometimes Chandra and I lose focus and fight crime, which I'm a bigger fan of actually. We're going to play Lego Indiana Jones which is odd because I've never played any of the Lego games and I've never seen an Indy movie, but I'm still excited. It's important to put her PS3 to use.

Work has been lame all day. It took me like 5 hours to type this. So lame. Had lunch with Chandrasaurus which was not lame at all. MC Lars e-mailed me telling me he loved Balloon Flight which was very nice. And I still have worries I might not be able to do Meltdown because of work. Stress ho!

Stuff with the girl...so much better. Quickly put an end to the no talky thing. That was no bueno. I'm all about bueno times. Yesterday we both had the day off so she came over for a bit and then we went out to run errands and pick up some P. Murph's. Earlier that day Bethany had invited me to coffee so I went to the Richland Starbucks to drink with the stay of the song Play With Me and her friend and all around fantastic person Amy.

Bethany, Amy, and I discussed matters such as crime fighting, watching pornography with a group, the "de-sexy-ing" of Victoria's Secret, and crying college students. Good times to say the least. After coffee I met Chandra at my mom's house as she wanted to take us to dinner. Chan Chan and my mom seem to get along too well and they are now going to go out and see Sex in the City together. This can only end badly for me. My mom once made me sport a mullet and that the audacity to take pictures of me in that state! The nerve of that woman!

We went to Fiesta in Kennewick and it was mad delicious, but Chandra and I were still pretty full from the pizza. Spent most of dinner just cracking jokes and basically just having a good ol' time. Went home, said goodbye to mum, and Chandra and I went to Winco to buy items necessary for baking. Chandra likes to bake. Clearly this is the woman of my dreams lol. We get back to her casa and she's in full gear. She starts busting out with cookies with rolos in the middle, peanut butter Cap'n Crunch marshmallow treats, and chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles which I actually helped to make. I took great pride in those actually. She didn't know I actually dug doing stuff like that. Hung out with my favorite lady until she it was time for her to crash out, after which I popped over to Al and Lacey's to share with them the treats Chandra had prepared and to watch a couple episodes of Family Guy.

Finally came home and crashed out hard. The box spring of my bed is all fucked out so sleep is not as wonderful as it should be. I don't remember how much box springs cost but I don't remember them being cheap. I've been dragging ass at work all day. Only sleeping 4 hours and taking meds that make you drowsy probably doesn't help matters. Don't know what I'm doing tonight on account of Chandrabean being busy tonight. I'm also a little worried that I might not be able to get out of work to perform at the Meltdown show. I wouldn't feel so bad if they didn't already put my name and picture in the paper. Oh well. Grumble. At least the album is done and all I need to do is get it printed. Boosh! Have a great day!

Yesterday was the first twenty four hours. It was by far the hardest thing in the world not to call or text. I almost called the store...just cause. Thankfully work proved to be very distracting and I was able to distract myself further by hanging out after work.

Last night the boys had a show at Ray's which I hit up as soon as I left worky-work. I roamed around before the show and saw a bunch of people I hadn't seen in like a year. Not since the good ol' ZKrew days. The guys were really great and I think much better than their last Ray's show. I went up. No big whoop. I think we're going to have to stop doing Table Top. It's kind of played out now and they have much better songs they could end on. After the set, because I'm this kind of sap, I looked around to see if she'd decided to come like she was planning. No dice.

Ryan came over after and we talked about stupid shit (I want to make a sci-fi movie based on Grizzly Man. Two words brought together by a hyphen: ware-bear) and I showed him some new stuff Shael and I had been working on and some of the finished tracks for Rolling Doubles. Ryan had to run home before hitting up Lacey's since her and Al stayed to check out Mister Orange. Tuna and I had a talk about him not wanting me to reform back to horrible roommate Beefy and I told him I had thought about that and that the last few days have been shitty but I just need to let some things happen and I'll be back to normal. I'm not going to lie to you, I beat up on myself in times of weakness and I become a wreck. But soon I'll stop feeling sorry for myself and clean up a bit. It's really very nice knowing Tunes always has my back and he very much cares how I'm doing. I picked a great guy to move in with.

So after making out with Tuna, I hop over to Lacey and Al's to hangout. Ryan was there already on account that I stopped at Taco Bell. Ryan and I WAY geek out over movies and we talk of how nice it would be to hangout at an OR beach and have a fire with Al playing guitar. Honest to god it sounds fun. Went home, watched some West Wing, and crashed out. Now I'm trying to decide what to do today since I am without work. I figure it's clean up time. I made it though the first day, which in my recent experience with quitting things cold turkey is the hardest day, so I figure today would make for a good clean up day. My room is a wreck and I still haven't hung all of my posters. Trash. Laundry. Hell, I might even do the dishes. Don't quote me on that though. Mind you all of this goes out the window is Tanner signs on with new tracks or, better yet, new beats! Have a great day!

Last night she came to my work and was standing by my car, her hair in Chun-Li style pony-buns which made her look as hardcore as a nice, wholesome girl can look wearing a polo shirt and khaki pants. She had a look like, "I feel weird, but I just wanted to see you." It's so adorable it kills me. I remember that I'm on my cell phone talking to Chad, who is going on about BBQing while listening to my music and I quickly but kindly tell him I'll call him back. Her eyes light up and she kind of half smiles and whispers a small "Hey" while standing on the tips of her toes. Nothing good can come of this.

I was reading a book this week that I just finished, and every time I finish reading a book I feel the need to narrate. I am so weird it's mind blowing. My mind is all kinds of blown. Yours? The lady and I, we're not talking anymore. A self prescribed remedy to our awkward situation. It seems like a weird notion that two people who really like each other have come to the conclusion that not having any communication whatsoever would be the best way to feel better. Kids are weird. I want to be in a relationship. She doesn't want to right now. I don't want to be stung along and wait while she goes and plays the field. It feels like I'd just be there until something better came along. She's not like that, but I get jealous and if roles were reversed she would be too. We like each other so much in fact that we can't talk to each other without wanting to see each other. And we can't see each other without seeming more and more like a couple. So sadly the only solution is to not talk to each other.

We had never gone longer than 1 or 2pm before sending text messages to each other. Usually one of us gets to wake up to a "morning beautiful/handsome." I honest to god missed that this morning. I miss being able to ask how work is going. How was your night? What are you doing tonight? Do you want to get lunch? Can I come over? I've never felt about anyone the way I do about her. She makes me laugh which is so rare my mind has been blown now for a second time. She finds me attractive. Seriously, now I'm completely out of mind. She gets my jokes and likes my shows and didn't like me first because I was a rapper on the net. She became my muse. And while I don't really fear she would forget me, it kind of breaks my heart that her daughter will. A baby has never really recognized me before. It's great and kind of sad that I grew attached to her beautiful baby girl. Kids are scary, noisy, messy nightmares, but not her blue eyed beauty.

And the worst part is, this was my idea more or less. I suggested not seeing each other but still talking. That wasn't going to work for her because she just wants to see me at that point. And here we are. 

More writing. More writing. More writing.

I've fully written Orientation, Smiles Times, Don't Fall Asleep and a song with the working title of Girly Crazy Baby Lady. I have verses for WTF Happened?, SMASH!, Playstation, Normal, and Mostly Harmless. I scratched the idea for Turn The Page, the verses for which I'll probably use for a collab MPFM wants to do. The only song I haven't touched yet is Monster and that's because I want to work closely with Doc Pop on that one. And that leaves the skit, and asking a couple people if they wanna be on the album. All this, and I only really have three beats.

With this album I'm going to be the king of the scratch track. Me, fruity loops, and simple kick, snare, high hat, and clap sounds. Record those, send em off to tanner or snyder or doc pop or maybe even shael. And if I cross my fingers and ask real nice, maybe I can even get one from dj john. I still need to ask people if they want to be on the album. Wheelie Cyberman who just dropped the first track from Supercommuter (which is going to be an amazing project), Bethzilla who I just wrote a part for the other day, and I'm going back and forth if I want to do a posse style track of if I just want to get YT on the record. Probably just YT. I have a lot of buddies I want to get on the album, but these songs are writing themselves on this go and I have a lot to say. I might do a fun Collabicide style EP in the future so I can get The Former Fat Boys, Dual Core, Doc Pop, Shael, Karl, Hella, tanner, and Zealous to spit some more bars with me.

Things with me and the girl are still...werid. I focus like a laser and she purposely doesn't. I just met her at the wrong time in her life, but I wonder how long I wait before I admit that it sucks and I don't like it. But I really like hanging out with her. She's quickly becoming one of my best friends. Tuna might have her killed soon lol. Oldboy is going to be moving into my apartment complex, very likely in my same building. Lord knows I like a good hassel. But even though it's not what I'd like, I still love seeing her and spending time with her and spoiling her and being spoiled by her. In a different reality we're the cutest couple ever. In this one though we're a kinda secret ninja pseudo couple. Grumble.

Today is Chandra's birthday. Yay. That whole situation...still complicated. Will more than likely remain that way for the foreseeable future.

I've been doing a lot of writing at work. While tanner toils away on Rolling Doubles, I'm going to do Mostly Harmless a lot differently. I'm going to record a lot of scratch tracks just to a simple click track beat. I'm also going to get a few more producers in on this one and I'll see about either paying someone to master the tracks or to find someone just as good but with more time on their hands. That'll probably mean getting a lot of the project files from the producers. I have a lot to learn. I'd love to pay Adam! from The Grammar Club to mix it actually. That dude is amazing, but very busy.

I finished the writing of two new songs today. One is the opposite of Minimum Wage Slave which just goes to show that I'm never really happy, and the other is a "look, it's not that hard to write a song like mc chris" kind of thing. Talk about feeling left out and girls. Done and done. I still have to go about asking if Wheelie, YT, Dual Core, Ben of FFB, and Bethany wanna be on the album. I also wanna ask Wordburglar because the dude is amazing in my opinion. If he says no I'll beg Jesse D. I'm just really digging those Northern gents lately.

5 minutes till I'm off. Have a good one.

I am tired as balls right now. I've never been this tired at work before. It's weird being on this side of being sleepy at work. I had big plan tonight and everything. Ok, that's a lie, all I was going to do was watch TV, but still. I was looking forward to Office and 30 Rock.

So it's looking like I'm going back to LA at the end of July. I hate LA. I've only been there twice, but I wasn't a big fan either time. I take that back, when we stayed with Doc Pop's friend and lit candles and drank absinth that was pretty dope. That's always where me and Router came up with "I burrly care." Good times. A good dude wants to do a music video form I'm No Superman and a less complicated one for You Can Call Me Beef. Dude has sent me full write ups and ideas and casting options and everything the guy comes up with I'm a big fan of. I just hope I'm not getting punked. That would suck.

Tanner is in the final steps of finalizing the tracks for Rolling Doubles. In the mean time, I've already started writing seven tracks for the next album. Three of those songs are written in full already. I still need to contact the people I want to be featured on the album, but I still need to decide if I want to do a big collab track. Can't really make up my mind on it.

The dorkette I'm a fan of... I'm still a big fan of. But shhhh! I don't think you're suppose to know.
