I Am Everything That Is Anything

Meanwhile, Kurupt is soothing my soul and exposing me to a different kind of I'm OK You're OK. Pete Rock is all over this one, it's a throwback but not really. That lilting piano is the Bob Ross of hip hop tracks.

And there are the lyrics.

The sky's the limit
It's in my arm's reach
So I'mma reach as far as my arms reach

Now that's gangsta...

I learned this new definition as well, hanging out with my father for the first time. How it's not always like it is in the movies, it's not all guns and fights and gunfights and stacks of dough. Sometimes it's small daily acts of rebellion and survival. Like even getting the fuck out of bed. Like letting yourself wake up from a dream. Like feeding your family. Like doing time silently. Like existing.

How we live, strive, breathe, talk and fuck only within the parameters allowed by our various dispositions. We'll never love or work or achieve anything different from the quality of our character. And so on.

Maybe I'm just feeling expansive cause it's a 3-day weekend. Within my humble existence, something like this is major. Even if I spend it thrift shopping with my sister. Even if I go no more than an hour away.

But I visited the future yesterday. I can't even tell you details, except to say that people are making really mind-blowing fucking technology right now y'all. Shit straight out of movies. I want to be involved in that.

But first. I'm gonna do my toenails.

Happy independence weekend.
