Today while sitting on my pops front porch while burning someones unsecured Wi-Fi up a nice red chevy hatchback pulled up to the house across the street from me. It has a for rent sale in the yard and I’ve noticed cars stopping by every now and and then to get the number.

The car pulled into the driveway and a little girl got out and knocked on the door. No answer. There was a car already in the driveway that had never been their before but I hadn’t seen it pull up or anybody get out of it, so I didn’t know if the car was just parked there or somebody from that car was in the house.

After the the little girl got no answer the woman on the driver side and got out and got my attention.

She asked did I know the people who owned it. I said no. She said she had been calling for the last three days and got nothing but the voicemail. I didnt say anything.

She said if the white folks who owned it didn’t want to rent to her because she was black they should just say it. I was like okay. She said that if I saw the white folks I should tell them give her a call.

She said thank you and left.

She wasn’t too bad looking either but she was definitely crazy. She wasn’t crazy enough to be submitted but she was up there.

30 minutes later a little kid walked out the house went to the corner store down the street and on his back he high fived a smaller kid on a bike.

Some people want me to direct a music video for them but I don’t want to put my name on something that is shit. For instance, I know my skills will be on my point but what if the song they want to use is really shitty. I’m having a hard time about whether I want to do it or not. I told them my asking price and they agreed to it quickly.

I do love money and getting paid from this can fund the things that I want to do.

But I’m also a control freak and I’m gonna wanna control every aspect of what I’m directing, like the concept and everything. I don’t want to whore myself out to them just to do what they tell me and put it together the way they want to, but that money is calling me, like right now.

I haven’t been this confused since this morning when I didn’t know whether I should open a box of waffles or pancakes first for breakfast.

Right now I’m leaning toward yes, but I also don’t want them getting it confused that I’m just a work for hire and not a part of their “team”.

Also Penny Hardaway is somehow intertwined into all of this.

Flipped my last laptop a few minutes ago.
I sold it to a Mexican guy and his two younger kids. He wanted me to change the language to Spanish which wasn’t hard. His son was super talkitive though, but he looked like he was 5 and that’s what 5 year old’s do. I tested out everything for him and made sure it was in working condition.
He said if I came across a smaller laptop just call him because he’d buy that too. I said if he has any problems with that one just call me, but they never have any problems, because I know my shit.

The first Spider-Man came out 10 years ago last weekend. It was released May 3, 2002. It broke every box office record at the time. My little brother whose two years behind me, I was 14 and he was 12 walked to the theater to go see it. It was at the Highland Quartet which is closed now.

That was one of the first geek movies I had to go see on opening weekend. I remember getting out of school everyday and going to the Memphis Central library and watching that trailer over and over again for about 4 months straight. After I saw it I tried to build a glider aka a hang glider type contraception attached to a bike but it failed so bad I just gave up.

10 Years later this past weekend The Avengers came out and I took my 10, 11, and 15 year old brother to see it and I ended spending like $55 on 3D tickets and nachos’ and drinks and all that garbage. My now 22 year old brother couldn’t go because he was to busy being an adult and having sex / arguing with his girlfriend and whatnot.

The Avenger’s ended up breaking a lot a records and it’s probably gonna hit a billion dollars by Sunday, which is a big deal. Spider-Man at the time blew my mind because it was Spider-Man in real life. The Avenger’s, even though it was the shit, didn’t really do that. My little brother’s loved it though and I hope it’s their Spider-Man and in 2022, (ew) as adults I hope there’s another mindblowing movie that we all can go see together.

Sidenote 1: When my brother and I went to see Spider-Man in 2002 the girl at the box office was rude to us for no reason. I wonder is she dead now or is her life miserable? Who know’s.

Sidenote 2: That new Spider-man with Andrew Garfield looks like ass but I’m optimistic

On the way to see the Avengers last night my little brother Zay who is 10 starting talking about adult diapers out the blue. He’s 10 so I just let him talk because it’s Zay, and he say’s a lot of batshit stuff, and it’s best to let him get it out to me before he starts talking about this stuff to the world at large.

So we go in Avengers, see that shit in 3D for two and half hours, and get back in the car and Zay just continues his conversation about adult diapers saying he knows where he can get me some if I need them. That was weird, but funny.

A year ago this week I was this close to asking this girl to go see Thor. She was the friend of this couple I buy weed from. She had yellow/blonde hair so I always referred to her as “The Feisty Yellow Haired Girl. She was extremely hood too. I’m talking about “punching people in cars while they’re still moving” hood.

I told my friends that I wanted to talk to her and even though they relayed that message back to her, when she was around I was cold as shit towards her. I then made this plan to win her over in one night. I was gonna gonna invite her to see Thor and eat like a shitload of pancakes at a 24 hour pancake shop all while under the influence of marijuana. I knew she smoked.

On the last day of the semester I spent the day driving around giving mounted photographs away from my photography class. I stopped at my friends house to give them one and The Feisty yellowed haired girl was there. I was to about to ask her but then I smoked a joint and forgot.

Like three weeks later I went over there again and they told me she had just found out she was pregnant. I don’t know what would have happened on our Thor date but from my experience with them, pancakes are like an afrodisiac.

I haven’t looked up how long it takes a woman to conceive because I’m scared of what I might see, but chances are if that Thor date did happen, I’d either be getting ready to go on Maury, probably was already on Maury, or I’d be in one of the Dakota’s faking a form of amnesia, but it didn’t and everything’s normal. Haven’t seen her since either.

Avenger’s comes out this week too and I’m going to see that shit by myself.

Late last night I bought 2 laptops for $80 from three shady dudes in a white car that was riding on a donut. It would of been 4 but one had to get out and wait in front of my house while they took me to the ATM to get the rest of the money.

One of the guys was an African but it was dark and I only heard his voice and didn’t see his face. They were young and I only new one guy out of the four of them. He set it up. I’ve known him since daycare and when I use to walk to school in 7th grade at 6:30 in the morning his moms use to just be getting off work and she use to ask me what time it was.

It’s odd but I don’t remember his name. Like I have a history with him but I can’t remember his name. I don’t think I ever knew it. That’s kinda fucked up but anyway, two laptops for $80 is a good fucking deal.

I want this so bad.
It’s only $750. I need it in my life so badly, like you don’t even know.
This should be mine. I should be riding on it right now. 
I should own this because I need it, for travel and stuff.
It’s so beautiful, but is a girl or boy.

I tried to make this girl/lady my girlfriend but I tried to have it where we still pay for our stuff separately. I think it failed but I don’t know yet. I’m highly optimistic though. I have my money and she has her money and we should keep those two things separate for a little while. Split that ticket. She is pretty though.

Washed Out’s last show before he goes overseas. #hellyeah
I was thinking about riding my Bike to Atlanta but fuck that.
After this show + Me trying to ride a motorcycle back to Memphis = Hell Naw
I’m gonna make the most mind numbing universe brownie’s that has ever been created, and then throw some sprinkles on them shits, just cause.
As soon as my feet touch Atlanta soil, I’m gonna eat a shitload until the show, and that’s all and nothing else.
I’m preparing for this to be epic.
