Love Poem

UNREAL MACHINES

I am a creature of another machine.
when i dream, time stops.
and i don't know when I'm sleeping

but i'm sure my love for you is real

some added dimension is created when i stare at you
some potion that allows me to feel in a way i have no way of knowing
yet in a way becomes the only thing i know

i'm not for certain that you are real
but my love can never be in question
i is a feeling that is indescribable yet so obvious
so unknown but so powerful

when you run across my mind

i die a thousand times
and am born a thousand more.


and you <> time.

Single Mother's Day

Just finished watching obama give a fathers day speech ata church in south side chicago. I have to say, he is really fucking good at what he's doing. It's really interesting watching a politician be good, in some ways it tells you that he is good at deceiving but in Barak's case i feel a truth permeate every political mask he must wear. Being at a black church he changed the his rap a little bit, he put a little more on god then he normally would have (maybe it's cause he was in a church.....i'm an idiot), he had a little more swagger, but it was real and really touching. Did you know more then half of all black children in this country are raised by a single parent, and that's double the number from the 70's. It really made me think about the kids i grew up with, who is where and how their home environment had an effect on there lives. Sometimes i like to say that people raised by single mothers are stronger, and in a way they are, but looking at my troops.....it's a sad story. I was talking to my mom the other day about how i have two sets of friends. One set is amazingly talented but never accomplishing anything, one is somewhat talented and graduating college moving to new york and working on wall street........you can guess which set was raised without a dad. Every single one, all my friends who sell drugs, are in and out a jail, fight, they were all raised in single parent homes. Makes me think.

First Meeting with Record folk

Had a meeting today with Myspace Records....was very good. They basically want to offer us a deal we can't do (lawyer wont let us) but just being there was dope. It felt normal, something we should be doing. Tomorrow it's atlantic, lets get this deal soon so we can move out of the cockroach den.
I love everyone.

TP2 Weekend

Tiny Porno 2 was off the hook. The people dancing, singing the songs back to us...it was magic. It was a nice way to end what has been a very trying few weeks as we have parted ways with our drummer (one of my favorite people of all time) and had to go on like everything is still the same. It's hard when you begin to feel guilt over not feeling guilty at all....that sounds crazy but it makes sense if you think about it. I know we have made the right decision, we have always been good as a band about these choices. As I get older I begin to realize that separating from a situation you know is not the best for yourself, is usually better for the other party as well...and I take some solace in knowing this.

All the record business stuff is going well, who knows if we'll all go insane. Meetings this week with Myapace records and Atlantic...craziness.

i'll start keeping up better.

check out the the video of Tiny Porno from Friday.
