Africa unite!

I’m ready to die, if that’s what you’re saying.

I didn’t realize that was what I was saying when I said it, but I guess that was what I was saying. There’s a lot of that going around on your site laetly. It has a happy ending, sort of. It’s more beautiful and truthful than happy.

My Mom has a friend who went to Africa as a missionary got a fever and technically died. They built a coffin for her but she lived through the trip to the airport and back home. She spent the next forty years of her life believing she wasn’t doing what God wanted her to do which was to preach in Africa. My Mom passed along my observation that her work had been completed years ago and she had, in fact, died doing the work God had given her as a missionary.
Looking at it from that perspective changed her opioion about the whole thing and her and my Mom had a good cry about it. There’s a lot of Africa going around here lately too. The more African stuff you add the better things will be, you’ll see.

Tim, I highly recommend Deltron 3030 to you. It’s the unsung gem of hip-hop and the times we’ve been living in over the past seven years.

Put it up on Sendspace so we can download it.

I’m ready to die, if that’s what you’re saying. Why do you think Biggie named his album that? If I do though, better make sure you have fully downloaded my entire site to re-circulate it afterwards cause this shit won’t stay up long.

No reason we all can’t win here though folks. Biggie knew what was up. Home crew loungin, no more public housing.

I’m considering activating my search history in my Google accounts. If they have access to that information and are actively using it to improve their algorithms, then why shouldn’t I be also?

Found it!

Julia, for what it’s worth, here’s my take on Anna Nicole Smith

Hi. You’re in my bookmarks too. I forgot about you when I wrote the above. It’s hard to think at work. I still want to know the name of the look they had on their faces. If I can place it and where I’ve seen it before I’ll really be onto something. Now I’ll have to find that documentary.

I wanted to share, though, that before you announced where exactly you were moving to, I found an envelope on the ground, folded in half, outside a bar I frequent. Picked it up and saw that it was addressed to someone named Boucher. My first thought was “Tim Boucher’s coming to New York.” So I guess I read too much in to that. You aren’t in New York.

Early 90’s hip hop has deep knowledge in it. And a lot of it is from the Five Percenters, who you’ve written about. Having recently interviewed the author of the recently published history of that movement (Michael Muhammed Knight), I find myself appreciating Wu Tang, NaS, Rakim and all those cats on an entirely different level.

Tim, I highly recommend Deltron 3030 to you. It’s the unsung gem of hip-hop and the times we’ve been living in over the past seven years.

Peace, all.

I just don’t see where the confusion really lies!

I don’t think it’s confusion. Sometimes it’s fun to stretch words around and see what they look like.

i tell people to turn off the tv and stop reading the newspapers because eventually the programming wears off.

bobby b. asked me what are we going to do when we wake up though?

that`s what nietzche warned about.

and about reading too goddamned much into things………i have to ask which tim boucher is asking that question……..

Way to be, Tim.

My coincidences have been leading me to Staten Island lately, Sunday, looking for Black Carhart’s at Ice B Berg down on Broadway and thinking about Wu-Tang led me here. It was just there.

The city’s grip on us now is very very tenuous. Damn Wanderlust. They beckon. They beckon.

But I guess I do encourage that kind of speculation.

Yeah, no kidding. It’s going to take us a little while to adjust to this new, straight forward, style of writing after a few months of symbolic, hard to figure out writing.

anyway, here`s something that i think you will like……..

Here goes my vague recollections of something I saw on TV. A long, very well made documentary on the PBS stations about a playwright from the 70’s. He was the son of an author and was thought to be dead. He really suffered a head injury after falling off (or being pushed off) a bridge at the artist compound where the plays were staged. His life seemed to be a living enactment of parts of the Apollo/Dionysus whatever you want to call it. (That’s much more precise than it sounds.)

He played Frankenstein and in his photo wearing the Frankenstein makeup he had the EXACT same expression on his face that Anna Nicole had in the video wearing the clown makeup. Sometime shortly before or after her death I saw that video and jumped and I couldn’t help but wonder what myth she was enacting. I still haven’t come to a conclusion but I’m glad that people with a broader base of knowledge of the subject are on the case.

I don’t see what the hell is so ambiguous about it!

Fall as in downfall, Fall from Heaven, Fall from Grace etc.

I’ll have to score that book now.

PS: I like the ambiguity of this line:

Wishing you all a beautiful Fall.

We will withdraw from Babylon. We will open our eyes by escaping from seeing, we will open our minds by transcending thought.

I am going to start noting all these great coincidences on this site.

Yep, several times!

d’oh!

I’ve been meaning to get a copy of this ‘Hip Hop Decoded’, too:
