listening to "Nobody Not Really (Interlude) - Alicia Keys"

listening to "Nobody Not Really (Interlude) - Alicia Keys": For some reason, I woke up this morning and this song was on my mind. It matched the cloudy sky outside. A sleeper from “Diary of Alicia Keys”. Enjoy!

listening to "Many Moons - Janelle Monáe"

listening to "Many Moons - Janelle Monáe": I have been loving this song for months now. In the whole Metropolis suite, this song really kicks up the pace and tells a story.

Curses!

Damn bill collecter managed to catch me. I guess that’s one perk of no phone service at work. Anyway, paying down debt is good for the soul.

Random Monday Thoughts

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:52:00 -0400

I hate my job. The hours are long, the environment blows, the pay is aight, and management blows. Soon as I can land a better gig, I am so ghost.
I do have the privilege of working from home every now and again, which is pretty sweet. However, I end up having more work to do from home because I then have access to the full Internet and my cell phone (both of which are restricted when I’m at the job).
I’m hungry as hell. I’d order Chinese for lunch, but then I’d possibly have to contend with the nosy delivery lady who not only walks in my house uninvited, but then proceeds to critique my decor. Don’t she know that’s the quickest way to lose her tip?
I want a boyfriend. Or at least a date. OK, fuck that, how about a series of dates? Can I get that? One guy that wants to date me? And let him be tall, dark, and kinda handsome. Not too handsome though; wouldn’t want to have to cut a bitch from lookin’ at him twice.
I want to move to Europe, if only because all the music I seem to be in love with these days comes from over the pond. Even some of my favorite American artists like Lizz Fields and Rachelle Ferrell are finding more success in Europe than in the US. I hear that exchange rate isn’t bad, either. And I speak French! Well, enough French to get by.
I need to post on BGB soon; it’s beginning to look like an obits page.
I want a week’s paid vacation. Can someone hook that up for me? Invite Mr. Tall, Dark and Not-So-Handsome too.

Isaac Hayes (1942-2008):

“Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it’s because music is fun. Plain and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where…

listening to "Erase You - ESG"

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:42:51 -0400

listening to "Erase You - ESG": Sometimes you just need to erase ‘em. Philly hip-hop group Spank Rock also included this in their now infamous mixtape “Voila”.

listening to "Butterfly - Jamiroquai"

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:35:48 -0400

listening to "Butterfly - Jamiroquai": “Synkronized” continues to be my favorite Jamiroquai album, followed by “Dynamite”.

listening to "Morning - AZYMUTH"

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:23:50 -0400

listening to "Morning - AZYMUTH": 4hero’s version of this on “4hero Presents Brazilika” improves on this by slowing it down a bit. Still a great piece. PBW does a killer re-edit too.

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:10:04 -0400

CNN Presents: Black in America

CNN Presents: Black in America: In the words of Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather: hated it. It felt to me like two hours of rubbing salt in the wounds of the problems in the Black community while offering little…

What Just Happened Here?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:58:01 -0400

What Just Happened Here?: OK, so last night, I had a date with this guy I met online (don’t worry — it wasn’t Craigslist). We’ve been chatting it up via e-mail for the past week now, and our schedules finally matched up for…

Insert Witty Vacation Quote Here

Insert Witty Vacation Quote Here: So one month after my vacation’s occurred, I’m finally getting the chance to talk about it. And you know the fucked up part about it? This past month’s been so busy it’s like I didn’t even have a…

Temporary Blog

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:21:15 -0400

I’ll be posting here on Tumblr for the time being until my site is restored over at the regular spot. I had a power outage during my routine backup, and when power was restored, my web server space was empty and my backup was corrupted. I’m waiting on my hosting company — 1&1 — to restore my space, but to be honest with you, I’m no all-fired rush to do so.

Work is busy as shit. I’m pulling down 50-hour weeks, 20+ hours of overtime, and it’s kicking my ass. Now, it’s just like auto-pilot; I wake up, I go to work, I design, then I come home. I’ve started taking more naps, but not necessarily of my own volition. As soon as I get home, I flit around for about an hour or two, then take a four to five hour nap. It’s my body’s way of saying “slow the hell down, Karsh.” I’m in bed by midnight, up by 4:30am, and the cycle continues.

School is also busy. I’m doubling my courseload so I can graduate on time. I’ll probably end up being a zombie for the latter half of 2008. I’ve already resolved to myself that this year is going to be one of continuous work. No time to slack off. Or if I do slack off, I need to do something while doing so.

Vacation? What's that?

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:46:31 -0400

How about it’ll be a whole month since my vacation, and I hadn’t even had the time to write about it? Kinda kills the freshness of the experience, honestly; I just look fondly at my Club Pass and all the great music I heard while I slave away designing port-a-potty and invalid home care sites for customers in S. Florida.

I wonder if it’s too soon to take another vacation.
