Over at Aces Full of Links James talks about leaving the blogging game. I haven't been posting nearly as frequently as of late, and I thought I'd take his cue to mention it. If you've been coming by often looking for new material, I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm sure you're already checking back less frequently, and you should probably keep that up. It may be a few weeks before things get back to normal, but thanks for noticing me.

Sitting between two boys was an elderly man. The boys were discussing their CD collections, a tough looking black kid on one side, and an equally rough looking white kind on the other. Back and forth they went. The boy to the left was turned in his seat to face the other, the man was facing the aisle, his head rotating side to side as he tried to keep up with the conversation.
"You got that shit?"
"Yeah, I got every one of them. They hot."
"They hittin'? How bout that new stuff, that shit any good?"
"Yeah. You got my cell? Hit me lata tonight, I'll read'em off to you. I got the new Rza, all of 'em, I got all that shit."
The elderly man was confused, as if right there, in his presence a drug deal was going down. His head swiveled as if he was trying to determine whether or not he was on the subway or sitting in the middle of a sitcom set.
I looked at the man and started to laugh, the fact that he had no idea what was going on striking me as being quite humorous. He saw me and smiled back as if to admit his inability to comprehend what was going on.
This whole thing called life is a little strange, no? Art, likes and dislikes, age differences, past experience, current environment… They all have a profound affect on us everyday through how we live and the people we interact with. Welcome to a New Year, friend.
