rambling thoughts.

so I had an AMAZING WEEKEND, scratch that an amazing WEEK-WEEKEND. as you can see below I spent an entire day with my best friend which was something I really needed because I hadn't seen him since January and it was just something we needed to do together, it was an amazing day. Then my mami came back from DR on Thursday and Friday I went out to Poetry Con Salsa, mad fun and mad good poetry. It was like wow, this time it was so amazing cause my boy kevin was on the guitar and for most of the pieces one of the other poets were singing in the background, simply beautiful. Then afterwards we came to my crib, of course and chylled out for a little while then most of the ppl bounced and talked to a very smart new friend for like 3 or 4 hours, opened my eyes to real shit.

Then came saturday and we spent the day at the park, eating, watching movies and then partied at night time in the heights. During this weekend ppl were talking about a lot of stuff like on TV; news, media, mtv, etc. and I was like I really need to get on my shit, I don't know about most new songs and I don't know about news most of the time or any new shows. Then I was like wtf I don't give a flying fucking about any new shows on tv, especially the reality ones who are so stupid and not really reality. It's just rotting our minds with other ppls stupid ignorant lives and making us dumber by the minute. Then there's the news, yea I should be aware of what's going on in the world, but I actually do I don't need to turn on the television to see that another minority has been shot more times then necessary for no reason from cops. I rather just see the newspaper headline or go to newyorktimes.com. I have dumbed myself down to enough stupid shit that this country feeds me to get into it even more. Then there's new music, on the radio. I really don't care about new ron brownz song or anything like that, i listen to my 90s hip-hop and you can say i'm not opening my mind to new music, i'm just trying to stay smart and not want to quote lil wayne's lyrics 24/7. There are some cool hits on the radio but I don't need to listen to them while I'm coolin at my crib, I can just listen to them at a party or like right now on the street, I live off of broadway so I hear a lot of movement in the streets straight up and it's beautiful to hear, especially music from my country (dominican republic) it makes it seem like i'm over there....just like I wish I was.

I've come to realize that some guys are just not deep, and it's not that they don't want to be. It's just that their minds are stuck on a planet of simplicity and contentness. They are content with what they already know they don't think they need to a read a book or get smarter for any particular reason. Honestly, I only read to gain more knowledge of the human existince, history, love, perception on freedom and with all that change my world to later on change THE world some day. word.



Here's one of the video's from Poetry Con Salsa,
