R.I.P. NATE DOGG

This year the Hip Hop Community lost one of it's distinctive vocalists and musicians. Nathaniel Dwayne Hale (August 19, 1969 – March 15, 2011), better known by his stage name Nate Dogg, was an American musician. Dogg was known for his successful hip hop collaborations and was closely associated with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Warren G, 2Pac, Game, Eminem, and Dr. Dre.

I've always enjoyed west coast music but I've gained a greater appreciation for it when I relocated to Los Angeles. It became a weekly ritual with my former co-worker Desi, that we began our Thursday Night Shift with " Regulators" by Warren G Feat. Nate Dogg.

Update!!!

My LA experience has been such an amazing epiphany in my life. Life never really lets u in on the secrets it has in store for you until shit actually happens but subliminally u kinda have that feeling as if someone snuck up behind you and whispered " I TOLD YOU SO". Evolution is such a fascinating word to me. I feel my life is evolving, My lens has been adjusted and my point of view has a clearer more valuable focus than ever before. I adore the paradigm shifts of life. Im grateful for clarity and positivity. Im grateful for creativity and artistry. I'm grateful for Love and humility. I'm grateful for Family and Strong Friendships. I'm grateful for phonecalls and text messages stemming from Love. I'm Grateful for your warm smiles and your kind thoughts. I'm grateful for discipline and precision. I'm grateful for Night and Day. I'm grateful for Words and Thoughts. I'm grateful for YOU!!!

I LOVE THESE DAMN SKITS.....

WALK IT OUT.....

When i look at this pic ..it makes me think of trans_portation...gettin from one place to another...The act of moving...The Idea to WANT TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE....and the blessing to actually be able to be a vehicle to do so....Take a walk ...see where u end up mentally, spirtually, and emotionally....They say on average we think about 60,000 thoughts a day....WAT THE HELL ARE WE REALLY THINKING ABOUT? and how much of that is making any damn sense....and HOw much of that are we telling other ppl?.....

Phi Nu Theta?

I get a text from a friend this morning saying there is a play entitled 'The Eclectic Society'. Based on the one and only Eclectic Society of Wesleyan University before it had to integrate, pre Kennedy assassination. At the time Eclectic was a male-only, intellectual society, of wealthy white men. The tradition and history is deeper and richer than that I have shared but needless to say it has evolved into something broader and richer, relatively speaking, as well as notorious. I am very interested as to the subtext of a play about a society that still exists but is not even an apparition of what it once was. Those that write the history make decisions of and for immortality.

Link to the theater in Philly, where it premiered.
