Right there, clear as day, there’s Doug E. Fresh dancing. Where the fuck was the Get-Fresh Crew? Did Slick Rick know about this shit? What the Fuck Was This, Right?

“You know my friend, right?”
This is Anti-Disney talking, a long-time friend, an artist, a brain with deep emotions and character scars: a born-connector. He is also [...]

Marcus Garvey, Initiation and Child Abuse

A few years back I remember watching the PBS special on Marcus Garvey called Inherit the Whirlwind. One particular turning point in Garvey’s life has always stayed with me because it seems, clear as day to me, to be a trace (could one call it an “African cultural survival“?) of an initiatory rite of passage [...]

“Get your ass up.”
I’m tempted to drift back to sleep. I feel spent, wind blown out and gone away. It’s five a.m. and I’ve got to get up. A busy day ahead. I’m laying there, eyes open, staring at the ceiling, exhorting myself under my breath.
“Get the fuck up. Come on.”
And there it is.
A tug [...]

I am crossing the intersection on my way to the post office in my borough yesterday. I’ve got some change in my pocket, just about enough to get two stamps, in assorted dimes, a nickel, two quarters and a two pennies. As I reach the sidewalk right in front of the super market, a homeless [...]

First time I saw a gray, “for real,” I was in the middle of a deep meditation, at a moment in my life when I also found myself to be, willingly, though perhaps less than consciously, a gypsy’s mark.
The second (and third and fourth…) time I saw a gray happened like this.
Riding to the Japanese [...]

Ball Bearings and Appearances
Ms. Vlado is behind me. So are the Lams. I think.
I’ve been hearing for, like months now, how you can get shrooms in Japan. They’re legal, see. To purchase. As “botanical specimens.” They’re not legal to eat, just to buy. They’re for the looking only.
It’s sort of like how [...]
Analyzing S 1959 and Analyzing You and Me, Pt. 1

So, some folks are saying that Willy Loman, who made the original posting about the proposed legislation, S 1959, is crying wolf. They say that all S 1959 does is set up a commission to study the issue of “homegrown radicalization,” which the document seems to straight away conflate with “homegrown terrorism” and “homegrown [...]

Of Strangers, Mad Gods and Commerce

The gods, likening themselves to all kinds of strangers, go in various disguises from city to city, observing the wrongdoing and the righteousness of men.
–Homer
That took longer than I expected. Figured I’d just get myself a little detoxifying tea at the local organic deli. In and out and then off to the A [...]
