  Big BU Shit

Today as I left class I gazed up at the BU Central (North) skyline and saw for the thousandth time its apex...the decrepit but towering School of Law. Most of the buildings at BU have a handful of floors, whatever. This building has the footprint of a pizza joint but it goes up 18 stories. And it’s all weird looking and shit…I'm pretty sure that if all my friends within a zip code or two of 02215 were all meditating together in the Zen park next to it that we could push the damn thing over if we wanted to.

So anyway I get the idea, "Now THAT would be a good building to climb to the top of." It's something I fucks with now and again ever since back at W.A. when a few friends and I navigated the guts of Warner Auditorium to emerge victorious on the roof overlooking the quad. That's a good feeling. Never mind the adventure of creeping through inaccessible rooms, scaffolding, ladders, the offerings of those who came before us (graffiti, empties, a photograph) and repeated dead-ends. I wasn't born in the projects and I can't really be a wandering samurai so what's a beb to do?

Now had I attempted topping the law building alone, I probably would have been able to, sure. But I called my inside Caplan and he told me he knows how to get to the top, and we can do it Wednesday. Sometimes it’s who you know, even when you've got the W inside. After all, I really ain't here to waste any time. At 23 I'm older'n I ever was, and I can't relive a single one of the good times I've had, that ain't real.

so wednesday, i'ma pray for sunshine, to sun mine
gotta call the doctor up, yup, but i'll be on time
(inhale) air's so clean up here, and i be breathin it
murky niggas down in the street and i be seein it
dropped your books nigga, dropped your pencil too
(laughter)laugh as i dangle a dollar down in front of you
and yeah i want that too, and i'll be gettin it
gotta fly (birdcall) my way up to the top, then i'll be sexin it
you want a dollar honey? come here and talk to me
i think you should pose for a picture in my magazine
we call it trumbull shawty, you see it on the stands
me and sami CEO you look like u understand.

Writing my first verse for the Trumbull Empire took a lot out of me. PLEASE! If you did not read it in the voice of Wheezy F. Baby, GO BACK and try it again, I would never attempt to stand here in my white skin and stupid voice and spit fresh at you all.

In conclusion, look for a photo update later this week ;-)

  Last Pages


Going to Barnes & Noble is cool. They have every new magazine, the freshest BU gear, floors of books, chill spots to read, lattes, 7's, whatever. Better spot: the library. Libraries are ANCIENT and they have the weirdest and coolest stuff in them that you'll never be able to peep at even the best bookstores. Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (I don't know what's on that myspace page, it froze my browser... maybe someone can check it out and let me know) may be cool and all, but I'm gonna say literature hasn't been the same since "computers were invented" and everybody with a became a potential and actual author. By the way, I'm not well-read and I can't write. So libraries HAVE all these books that were put together by typewriters, string, glue, babies, the printing press, and woodcut blocks...oh and gold lettering. Every F'in dude who had something to say and actually busted his ass on a POS typewriter for the last 12,000 years has his book sitting in your library. It's true, look it up.

Mugar is the main library on the BU campus and today my mission in there turned into a little bit of a browsing expedition and I found some cool stuff. Here's the first edition of Last Pages.
Last Pages will feature the conclusive or pertinent passages of random cool books that catch my eye. Wisdom for feast.

  Finally
I finished some tracks for you all. These are my first efforts and I'm still learning this stuff but there's gonna be some real cool tracks to come. My mix, screwed and (lightly) chopped!

  The Fox and the Eagle
My favorite current bands are:
  1. Moonshine
  2. World Collapse
  3. Nelly Furtado
Ok, well, yeah they are. But listen. World Collapse...that band may just be a particle that floats around in my brain. Do they even exist? I'm not sure if they do, but I have two emps on my computer encoded at 128, and to me it sounds like God Music. So sometimes you also have to go to their website, just to see if anything's changed. Wow...today it has. The Fox and the Eagle! I pledge my allegiance.

  Get Big
Once in awhile some wayward Allston partier will approach me and say "Yo Owen, can I come to the gym with you some time and learn your regimen?" Haha. If you look at me now, I weigh about 148 pounds, which is a hell of a lot less than the turbo 175 I rocked last Summer I guess. I obviously haven't been to the gym in a minute, but as I was searching for my hawker's permit today, I stumbled across a crumpled piece of paper that I used to take to the gym every day until I had memorized it. Here's a scan for aspiring musclemen.


On the topic of the BU Gym, enjoy this shot of the storied Lazy River.

  Brick
Saw a very cool movie on Sunday called Brick. Here's the trailer.

Also, I'm watching a Japanese film for class later today called Tokyo Drifter and I am in the middle of watching The Pornographers.

  Emerson College :(
Scaffolding crashed down near Emerson in downtown Boston today, killing three people.

 
  Keyshia Cole


Keyshia Cole's LP is superb but the best song on the record ain't a single. "I Should Have Cheated" is a haunting track that was actually on the Hair Show soundtrack, and was produced by Daron Jones from 112 (past clients include R. Kelly and a BIGGIE song).

EDIT: I was tipped off that my beloved jam was on the radio and stuff. Wiki says: "
It was with the third single, "I Should Have Cheated", that gained Cole the most success. The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and became one of the biggest female R&B hits of the year." Leave it to someone named Kalisha to pwn me on the R&B front :-[.
