So... I'm gonna be a DJ, people! I am officially excited. I'm learning from my uncle, who is the MAN, and then I'm gonna take my knowledge to the streets, and TAKE OVER!!!! (I apologize for my excessiveuse of exclamation points. I'm just excited as hell!!!) Anyway, yeah, all I have to do is get enough $$$ together to buy some used tables (unless someone has some they want to donate to the cause...

Long Time No See...
So... here I am, after a long dry spell, back at MOG again for the umpteenth time. Hopefully this one lasts a little longer. Anyway, big things have happened since last I wrote. I now live on my own (and work like a slave), I am no longer a college student (something which excites and terrifies me at the same time), and I am going to, by the end of the summer, be an actual, record-spinning DJ.

Today Was A Good Day...
So... the last 24 hours have been the illest hours I've ever spent in Philadelphia, and the great part is, _I haven't actually been doing anything._ If I can to be this content most of the time, I might be able to do this adulthood business. Here's how it went...I woke up at 3:40 to get ready for work (the lowlight of my day), and left the house at 4:15 for the 4:35 bus. I was worried, because MLK

So, I AM Still Alive... Just Barely, Though
Ha. Remember me? I was a MOGger once. Then, work started, and my parents started to monitor my internet usage (even though this is MY computer, it's their electricity). So, I took a hiatus. It was hard, but I had distractions (Christmas, New Year's Eve in NYC, and MONEY), so I survived. (Also, have an iPod shuffle, which is now more precious to me than my family) But I kept getting the e-mails, an

The Best Christmas Song of ALL TIME!
-
Artist:
So, I had to throw in my 2 centavos, because I see all of these people looking for Xmas music, and, to the best of my knowledge, no one has mentioned this song. What song, you ask? Why, "This Christmas," by Donny Hathaway. It's about as soulful as Christmas music gets, and Donny's voice is like BUTTER, man. Like butter. It is the greatest Christmas song ever recorded. Go on, attempt to refute me.

Maybe Rambling A Little... Things that have been Clogging the Pathways
So, I was commenting on "Jess Horrible's remarkable sex and music discussion":http://mog.com/Jess_Horrible/blog_post/30851#write and wondering, really, what was going on with me. I have not been on my game recently, not just as far as MOG is concerned, but just in life in general, and I wanted to at least think about what was happening. So, I thought I'd just write it out here, maybe get some f...

Greatest Hip-Hop Instrumentals
I love instrumentals (commonly referred to in the black community as "beats"), mostly because I'm an aspiring MC and broke, but also because they're just so over the top, shit is great. I have made rather shitty instrumentals in the past, but as I hear more and see what I like, I have ideas for fucking GREAT ones. So, here are my top 5 (or more), in no particular order...*Anti-American Graffiti AN

Music Just Won't Leave Me Alone...
So, I've come to realize that music has taken my mind like Mentok, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it's great, because, well, eve when I don't have a soundtrack, I have a soundtrack. My mind just autoplays my favorite songs (right now, I'm bumping J Dilla and the Isley Brothers), and it is really much better than an iPod at putting good songs in order. And, the more music I

Damn, Shit is So Crazy Now...
Being an adult sucks, and I haven't even officially started yet. Now, don't get me wrong, I can already see some valuable upsides to taking "responsibility" for myself. The lack of a curfew, the ability to smoke WHENEVER (all types of things, too), the freedom to travel. But if things keep going the way they have, none of that will matter, because I'll be too poor to enjoy anything. I mean, Jesus,
