so… i’ve been a little bit quiet recently, which is bad. it’s not a habit i should be starting.
so i wanted to explain why i’ve been so quiet recently. up until this weekend, when i went back to boston to get checked, i had a chance of having cancer. that was obviously a damper on life. a rather large one.
it’s a great weight on my shoulders to find out i don’t have cancer. like you wouldn’t believe. going home and seeing friends and getting to roll with friends and participate in things that are so nicely comfortable was also sweet like nothing else. i couldn’t do it everyday though. i can only do boston in small doses.
just to remark on things i haven’t remarked on… thanks everyone who came out for my birthday which happened recently. it reminded me how truly blessed i am to have beautiful people in my life who always have my back… especially when i’m drunk and not cognizant of what is a stair and what is a person.
congrats to team ronin athletics for kicking ass at GQ. hopefully, i’ll be on the mats with you guys soon.
and finally… i’m embarking on a new artistic project that i’m hoping everyone out there can help me with.
introspective musicology: the soundtrack to our lives. we all have them, some strange mixture of karaoke classics, queen-level ballads, heart thumping hip hop and head banging metal. the purpose of IM is exploring how one relates to these soundtracks, how an artist can understand another, not through interaction, but through those tracks that the individual feels is significant to their lives. it is an examination to symbolic meaning, as well as how individual pieces can create a collective whole.
as such, the artist wishes for those who can to make a mixtape which the subject feels is an appropiate soundtrack to their life at that point in time. the mixtape should be no more than 15 songs and should encompass the entirety of the individual’s character, history and being, however the subject wishes that to be defined.
thanks yall. send me your mixtapes!!
