It's me, your alter-ego. I know you've always wanted those Space Jam XIs, and I know you had a pretty good semester. I think you should treat yourself to a pair.

Sincerely, Alter-Ego

Dear Alter-Ego,

You're right, maybe I'll cop two purr.

Sincerely, Patrick.

Giving Thanks

Right now, I wanna say Thank You.

*You're far too kind*

Honestly, the mixtape has broken 350 750 downloads, which is way more rotation that I ever thought it would get. I'm healthy, I have spoken to members of the opposite sex in the last few weeks, and all my homies and brothers are doing their ish to the fullest. I am a 21 year old black man in higher education playing a college level sport (although it is a D2 club team). Tonight, I plan to get thoroughly drunk after first recording, going to my high school's alumni basketball game, and doing the aforementioned "studio session". I couldn't be in a better place right now. Yeah I could be in better shape, have more money, and be getting a blowjob right now... but I am thankful for much more than I feel I am missing out on. I even get to see the infamous PMac later, and we haven't kicked it in a minute because we're so busy.

*Hold your applause, this is your song not mine*

So... all that was to say realize that you are also blessed and that it's like I always say.

"You can't appreciate the good if you never see bad."

This is what you've all been waiting for. Probably not, but I'm really excited cause it's 11/11 and The Last of the Flowhicans is finally ready for you to put in your speaker systems.

A special thanks to Zanada for sponsoring the mixtape, and a special thanks to you for downloading it. There's more where this came from though so don't trip.

Bernie Madoff is Santa Claus... if you're talking about yayo. I was reading the news today and the top story is about how Madoff's offices were fueled by cocaine in the 70s. He's turning out to be more of a gangster every day, and his friends in jail are actual gangsters. Go Figure.

Sundays

2009-10-05T10:44:00.000-07:00

On Sundays, me and my homies watch tv. I don't like tv that much, but on Sunday I find myself doing errands and taking care of all the important stuff and unwinding from the Week(end) before Monday rolls around. I do this by checking out Curb Your Enthusiasm, some South Park, maybe The Simpsons, and Entourage. Entourage has been, in my opinion, getting increasingly better as the episodes progress, and last night was the season finale. If you haven't seen it yet, I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I will say these few things:

- Ari is a beast
- Lloyd is also a beast, but in a different way
- Drama is a beast
- Eric is NOT an idiot

I wrote all of this so that I can post this picture and profess my love for Emmanuelle Chriqui. Emmanuelle, if you're reading this, I have no money, a whack car, and my hair is brown rather than red. If you're still trying to holler, I'm surprised but very excited. Send me an email and I will make sure I respond. K love you talk to you later.

Hugh Augustine. If put into words, most would simply call him "beast" as he flows effortlessly over beats, submitting each one in less than one round. He has been referred to by many names, most of which strike fear into the hearts of lesser men, however one thing remains constant, that he always stays true to himself.

Listen to his new tracks on his Myspace

It's Your Birthday

---

So my pops bday is this Friday. I was walking through campus thinking about what I could get him. I'm flying home Thursday night, which is probably enough of a present anyways, but I want to get him something good.

Then I got to thinking about what my Dad's birthday really means to me or what it has meant in the past. Usually it was a day to go out to dinner, buy some generic gift that he'd use, and move on. My birthday, which is less than a month after his was always much more important to me and to him (or so it seems). My mom's born day is in May, and since she passed in January I didn't pay any special importance to what turned out to be her last birthday because I didn't see death as imminent at the time. This time around, for my Dad's birthday, I feel an added importance. I have a greater appreciation for the sacrifices my parents made for me to be where I am today. It's my goal this Friday to make my Dad's birthday as important as mine is.

I wrote all of that to encourage all that read this to put a little more effort into showing your parents the appreciation you have for them.

Speaking On Ye

I don't even want to touch this topic, but I feel the need to.

I just want to say that it annoys the hell out of me to see everybody talking about Kanye of Facebook or Twitter or whatever blog.

For real, the VMAs are an award show. It's entertainment. Not real life.

For the record, I LOL'd, then got back to thinking about more important stuff. You should do the same.

If you haven't heard, President Obama is planning to give an address to kids in school all across the country to urge them to stay in school and work hard. I was reading an article about it and I came across this quote.

In Florida, GOP chairman Jim Greer released a statement that he was "absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology."

I have no idea what the movie is about, or what's going on in the trailer, but it's so sick visually that I had to share it with you. Movies today are getting insane with how well technology changes what we believe to be possible, and what we can create in our heads is almost always feasible when portraying your story on the big screen. Enjoy.
