humbled

i guess there is such a thing as feeling yourself too much. i think i may have gotten caught up. i checked my email from my phone last night. it read unemployed lloyd would like to be added as one of your friends. no big deal but because ive been feeling myself so much and (correct me if im worng) my shits been kinda poppin lately i automatically assumed someone made a a fake account of me and requested my friendship. good or bad when some one makes a fake myspace for you its kinda awesome. so im really feeling myself at this point. so much in fact i text all my friends and tell them "you havent made it until someone makes a fake myspace for you." ha. in responce to this the roc wrote back "dumbass, theres a glitch in myspace. i got like 20 dj roctakon would like to be your friend emails today"....huh? i was so bummed. i then realized on any given day i would have figured it for a glitch and kept it moving but because i started feeling myself id become a bit delusional. ha. lesson learned...or not. fugit!! i dont care. by the time you read this i'l either be in la or on a plane sitting next to eli trying to explain to him why wearing a shirt that says:

LUKE &
LEIA&
HAN&
CHEWY
is a bad look!

tuesday.

i havent posted since monday because i spent most of tuesday and the first half of today in the hospital with my brother. he needed to have surgery done and gets panic attacks from the pain medicine so someone needs to be by his side at all times. i did the day shift and my mother the night. theres no point in sitting around and being bummed so at night i went out. in these situations there's a thin line between optimism and denial but im more then positive he'll be fine. so, i try to go about my business like always. all my friends back home cant hang out because they have jobs. all but spiro anwyay. he's rad.there isnt much to do in maryland on a tuesday night besides drink. so we did. in a park.whatever. it was either the park or one of those shitty red neck bars my pops used to take me to as a kid. talk about bad parenting. imagine walking into a bar at 2 in the morning and seeing a 6 year old in his pajamas (with the feet) playing table top pacman and drinking ginger ale out of a cocktail glass. that was me. id experienced racism, bar brawls, pissdrunks and drug deals all before i could multiply. i wish i was joking about this but im dead serious. i remember sitting in a holding cell once with my drunk dad while waiting for my mother to come pick us up. it was awesome. going to the bar was our little secret. my pops talked and treated me like a grown man. as much as i hated it at times im glad he did it. we grew up fast at my house. im not mad though. just look how well i turned out.ha!

oh life.

every now and then some divine force shoots down from the clouds and gives me a fucking break. this one came in the form of an atm (walking distance from my apt) that dispenses money in 10 dollar denominations. this may not seem like a big deal to you but if youre like me you take money from atm's like poor people buy gas. its located in a train station so i technically have to tack the 2 dollar metro card fee onto the already $1.50 surcharge. today i asked the teller if i could hop the turnstop so i could use the atm and come back out. shes wasnt feeling that. having no shame kinda rules sometimes. ha.

if everyday was like today...

id be the happiest person ever. it started off on a bad note. besides the parade outside my window i left my bike locked up in the burg only to come back to it with the back tire missing. i didnt trip though. i never do. thats new york. from there i went to mccarren park. it was whatever. i had some ice cream, sat in the rain and drank free red bull. ha. from there me and the homies wandered a bit, ate some food and met up with catchdubs at some random beer garden in the burg. i shit you not it was 730 when me, frog, lyle, andy and catchdubs got our first round. between there and some other place around the corner we didnt go our separate ways until 4 in the morning. we talked about everything. no topic untouched. no one got drunk, no one acted up. its been sometime since ive hung with the homies and just talked. i enjoyed it. its not everyday you get to think out loud. oh, and some chick gave me her number. i didnt say a word to her. she just rolled up with a sheet of paper, gave it to me and said call me. she probably reads the blog. yay.

oh the weekend.

im hungover no more then 2 maybe 3 times a year. of corse the one day i wake up with a hangover the local church decides to have a block party outside my apt window. i cant think of anything worse then waking up to generators blaring and a portable dj playing "baby baby" by brandy at full blast.i love brooklyn for the same reasons i hate it sometimes. today im over it.

oh, and last night one of the cocktail waitresses at my gig pointed out that my shoes matched my back pack. she thought it was so cute. i went home and changed.

saturday.

went to sleep wasted last night. i keep my lap top on my bed. i was in the middle of writing a blog before i passed out. i was off to a good start too. i dont remember doing it but at some point my face was on the keyboard. how do i know? because i had (sssssssssssssssssssssss...) going from the top to the bottom of my computer screen when i woke. it reminded me of this time i was at my friend craigs house at 4 in the morning drunk. craig was in a producing mood so he was beating away at the keys on his triton. the noise was becoming unbearable so i left his room and went into the next to watch tv. in the next room i could kinda still hear the piano but atleast i could ignore him better . anyway, he's beating at the keys (wasted) for what seems like forever when all of the sudden i hear about 10 to 15 keys go down at once. it was the worst noise i had ever heard in my life. it continues for a while so i get up and walk back to his room assuming he's being an asshole only to find him passed out face first on the keys drooling on the floor. ha. asshole.

emergency


im trying hard not to let this turn into a music blog but its been really hard to motivate lately. bare with me folks. anyway, here you have one of my favorite loose ends songs. i dont think it ever hit in the states because ive only ever seen it on import vinyl. either way its a favorite and a precursor to some of the shit coming out now. i swear if you told me the production was done recently i might believe you. ha. why does music blow right now by the way? i should blog about that. actually music blows right now partly because of the lack of quality control on blogs like this one. oh well, welcome to the future of music. its all down hill from here. ha.

in highschool...


i not only had dreads but i was a rapper with an asian girlfriend. i didnt have a nose ring due to my phobia of needles but i really really wanted one. i went by a handful of names all of which i hardly remember. however, lloydski and winslow b (which i'll never forget) were my rapper names. i was in a group called babyfood with my bestfriend tom. like my girlfriend he was asian. we made music with the soul purpose of performing and getting girls. he was on the boards and i was on the mic. i dug for records and he sampled them. i weird dynamic but it worked. i think we had a good thing going but unfortunately because both of us were anal retentive the groups full potential never came to fruition. damn. anyway, i figure if eli's gonna put up some old beats i should put up some raps. bad ones at that!!! most of the music we made got lost over time. this tom found a year ago. be nice i was 15...maybe 16.

go brooklyn


yea. i know i almost never put hip hop on here but neil nice played this song yesterday at a bbq. i almost forgot how much i loved this song when it came out. never in my wildest dreams did i think id ever live in bk but here i am. i remember coming here when i was way young and being able to identify all the sections in brooklyn because of this song. i used to love buckshot and special ed. i remember going to a blackmoon show when i was 13 and being stoked cus buckshot was my height. ha. anyway, this was the first hip hop record i ever bought. this may seem pretty late in the game but keep in mind i was 11 when this came out. if you ask me i think thats pretty rad. that same day i bought house of pains "whos the man" as well as that top quality "magnum opus" promo you see in everyones collection. all of which i still have by the way. fuck yea brooklyn.

bee & tee

so last night i dj'd at lotus again. im assuming the rub boys were on vacation and/or traveling so friday was left open. it was fun. an interesting night to say the least. the music was the same ol but the energy in the room was great. i got there only to realize id forgoten my headphones. i went til about 1 without them (doing pretty good i might add) before my homies blu jemz and egg foo brought a pair through for me. im not sure how lotus does it but they somehow manage to pull in about 800 of the worst people week after week. im not mad though. some chick mistook me for cosmo baker. i should have deaded her right then but her whole steez was too good to be true. she was straight up bridge and tunnel. she basically looked like jennifer aniston but orange. she was wearing this strapless brown shirt with matching brown shorts. an outfit most women could pull off became the opposite of flattering when coupled with her orange skin. i wish i could have taking a picture. homegirl looked like a fucking nike box. ha

one last time.

saw daft punk yesterday.it was cool i guess. the lights were awesome and the show was fantastic. am i glad i went? yeah. could i have stayed home and watched tv? totally. dont get me wrong ive been into daft punk since i was in high school. however, sometimes it takes a daft punk show for you to realize youre not really that into them...or 17 anymore. good show though. im convinced daft punk is the new bob marley. the musics cool but their fans fucking blow. this guy was rad though.

enough about me pt 2

if someone where to ask me who or what inspires me the most id say my little brother jonathan aka killaminjaro mcniggerburger. this kid is the truth. he is with out a doubt my favorite person. hes been in and out of hospitals since the age of 11. while most kids were taking part in after school activities my brother was on medication, in the hospital or hooked up to a dialysis machine. from kindey transplants to kidney failure he's seen it all. yet, some how through it all he kept and countinues to keep his cool. watching him live his life knowing hes not promised anything definitely puts everything in perspective. he doesnt trip so i shouldnt either.

*he made this little movie his junior year in high school. he never finished it though. he should.

FYI. dont let him catch you calling him jonathan. not anymore atleast. its pronounced (JAH-NAY-THAN) or nate for short now. i dont mind though. its better then killaminjaro mcniggerburger. ha.

just sayin'


went to go see the bourne ultimatum with frog, brendan, woody and the roc last night. we got there around 10 to catch a 10:15 show but it was sold out. instead we bought tickets for the 11 oclock show and killed the 45 minutes by playing video games. there was no machine for quarters and none of the games (with exception of this one below) took dollars. so while the roc went to the concession stand to get change i popped in a dollar for the fuck of it. first dollar, first try, two stuffed animals at the same time. id like to see your boyfriend do that. i think this makes me awesome or something. correct me if im wrong. ha

*EDIT. thats is not a phone hanging off my belt. its where i keep my camera. i repeat, that is not a phone!

when it rains it pours


this was the last picture taken before my camera fell into a puddle of water. i managed to pop it open and dry out the inside. however, its been nearly 12 hours and i cant tell if its gotten better or worst. im scared. it wasnt mine but loved that camera like it was my own. i went to get it fixed and the guy told me im better off getting a new one. i told him i dont want a new one, i want my old camera back. anyway, say a prayer for my camera. with your help i dont doubt we can get through this one. we've done it before. an if all goes well i'll be back to shooting videos and pictures before soon. i hope. i guess thats what i get for going to see CSS last night (dont ask).

two things i observed while watching CSS

1.body suit...dope!
