...End scene

So I mentioned You and 2 others like this.
That would be the title of the sunset of my performance days with the Haraka Writers at Purdue University. The last show I got to do with those guys before I graduated and departed.

Its obviously sweet and sour leaving them, but I throw a little envy in there with that as well because the new blood in the set excites me so. They all stepped up so quick and have so much potential, Haraka's coming years will be excellent, I know, sucks I won't be a part (though I am crashing the research tour in the fall, fa SHO!).

Anyway, I had two pieces in this production and they are presented here in their entirety for your viewing pleasure.
(Believe it or not, I still can't watch myself perform. Jus sumtin weird about it, lol)

Chemistry (2 Others Remix)



Draft Pick


I did earlier mention copious other talent that was involved. Peep this vid for a little teaser from everyone else and a rough synopsis of the show.

You and 2 others like this (abbreviated)


*Sigh* Memories.

Naw really though: I'ma fa real update you this time...

and I mean that.
My last post here was back at the end of February and basically said something to that same effect...but of course I never did it. (business never let up lol)

But TRUST, I've got plenty of time now, and lots to put up...I mean I'm gonna have to take it all the way back to "You and Two Others Like This" cuz I gotta highlight my team and the LAST show I got to do with them. Plus a lot of people (who missed it) want to see/read/hear the full brunt of what I did, so I'll it you with that.

There's of course, much graduation stuff, farewells to be made, post mortem reminiscing to be done, messages for the future, plans I...plan to execute...etc, etc.

Suffice it to say there's much more to come, please stay tuned.

One thing I'll address right here and now though...for those who SWEAR I'm gonna suddenly fall in love with West Lafayette now that I'm not there:

I HAVE NOT...AND IT WONT HAPPEN. I still hate West Lafayette (the place, not the people within...well, not some of the people within) with a passion. With that said I have these admissions to make:
Here, there are other people in my shower, I'm sleeping on a Sofa, and busses cost money. These things don't occur in West Lafayette and I kinda miss that, BUT...
Also here in Baltimore:

• smallest snowball i can buy is 12 ounces AND actually has a SNOW BALL on top. and they give me a SPOON with that, not a slurpee straw.
• the lowest temperature I've experienced thus far is 70.
• its only rained for a few early morning hours since I got here (as opposed to everyday, all day)
• there's music I actually listen to on the radio.
• there's also music everyone else listens to on the radio (aka DIVERSITY)
• busses might cost money, but they're actually useful too. There's a 24 sittinoutside my house right now to carry me anywhere I wanna go
• and by the way, those busses are on schedule. Because they don't just stop at any random corner somebody standing on. Either you on the stop or you ass out.
• there's a drive-in movie theater, a couple of marinas, a couple of parks, a gym, some bars, some restaraunts, and some otha stuff i can do. within 2 miles of my house in West Lala there's more apartments, an Applebee's, a graveyard, some gas stations, and a walmart. You do the math...
• there's stuff going on here!
• there's a free, full sized track open to the public I can sprint on til my heart's content
• we have SIDEWALKS
• people know how to drive
• hate to be THAT guy and point it out, but I feel like much less of an outcast here. Liberal attitudes eliminate the racial tension and homophobia, its very refreshing...
• I really could go on forever...but yeah, you get the idea

So there you have it, Bakes just does not rock with West Lala. I'll visit, at some point...but I'm glad to escape.

Aright, with that out the way...more to come.
Til later.
One.
