This is a documentary clip my boy Eli from Clenched Fist Productions hooked up. It cover the LIFE IS LIVING FESTIVAL that happens every year in a major city to promote going green with our lives as well as our resources. This past summer it was in Chicago and BOI did it move the city! Check out of piece of the action then keep up with LIFE IS LIVING.

So I never thought I’d be singing, like ever, but I’m in a musical! I’ll be in CHICAGOLAND by Ike Holter and Kelly Kerwin at the Chopin Theater April 22-24, at 10:30 pm. Its an insane crazy journey through Chicago and its many inhabitants. Hope you come see me in my Weiner Cicle gear spitting hot rhymes. Its late so you have NO EXCUSE! Yo, can you spot me in this pic? Am I that brown?

I will be in the Strapped Play Festival as part of Ike Holter and Ryan Bourque’s ” The Great Depression.”  I will be with the mighty ensemble which features William Gillespie, Andrew Goetten, Jared Green, Rashaad Hall, Anna Rose Epstein, McKenzie Yeager and me!

Depression concerns a wide eyed optimist named Chuck (Played by Nic Demearis) as waits for an el-train to take him home from his graduation ceremony downtown. During the wait, he meets Molly (Briana DeGuardia), a recently fired secretary.

From then on it’s the oldest story in the book; guy meets girl, girl is suicidal, boy tries to stop girl from killing herself, people sing—you know, pretty standard Arthur Miller style drama here.

Please come support this and the other 6 amazing shorts March 25-28.

Found this in an old journal

I think I want to go over seas, sow some seeeds. Fall in love and leave someone heartbroken. I want to write love letters and leave them for the locals. In English, so they are puzzled by the mystery. Africa should call me home and rename me. China should teach me the importance of life and the secret to healing ones self. I wanna tag monuments. Pee in toilets I don’t understand. Sing on Mountains high hoping to reach God. And pray. In and out of churches. Without language. Then I wont mind being foreign.

So we all know that racism and sexism both are major issues for society. John Mayer made some not-so-smart comments yesterday that alluded to his true point of view women and more specifically black women. Now, who knows what was a joke or not, but lets be real every joke is a half truth. So which half do we take as true? Either way what he said was wrong no doubt.

In responce the general public has ripped him apart via twitter/blogs/news etc. but few have reached out. If he does really feel this way the most proactive way to help change those views is share with him why they are wrong and why they hurt. If we keep silent, or talk about him behind his back about how bad he is, aren’t we giving him a stronger reason to dislike black people? Or all people? Lets hit him up directly via twitter since we have that option and tell him. If we dont take racism personal and share the pain that comes from it the person dishing it doesnt understand the impact. If he can’t see the effects on his fans directly he wont see how deep it burns.

Anytime we deal with racism or sexism don’t be passive aggressive. Get human, real quick. Let your heartstrings show and tell the story of the broken chord. Thats the only way they will understand how they played a part in interrupting your song.
