  • "Lessons in Love" {Tales of a Superstar DJ}

    “Impossible!”, I murmured, after a deep gasp, as I removed from my braziers in preparation to soak after a short but intense workout, not the stone I had with intention placed in my bra, but another.

    “Magic indeed!” , I thought to myself.

    I had in some fell swoop of blessings been by any luck or wishes sake, gifted a heap of new books, and new furniture—the latter of which I really hadn't needed, however, with a newly refreshed idea of reimagining my studio and living space entirely, I had shifted into preparation for a lost bed anyhow, and thought that with any foreshadowing, I perhaps might have one by winter, with the space below the bed provided to be tented and shielded off from the rest of the world, so that I could record vocals in a more secluded and intimate setting. I had originally intended to use the closet or my apartment as a booth, but upon arrival found that the closet had been fitted with an unremovable shelving at around chest level, which couldn't be in any way practical for recording without some heavy discomfort, not to mention the closet faced a wall I was sure my neighbors telivison and speaker system was fitted against.

    After my right headphone died, and the unwelcome company in the gym which granted, had been there before me had left me feeling for some reason like I had lost something—anyhow somewhat paranoid, as I had caught not just one, but two people what looked like taking pictures of me with no doubt in my mind, or reasonable cause that I was indeed being groomed for something steadily but surely— I felt the need not only to vacate the gym rapidly, but feeling as though I had a reason to return to the work I had been toiling away at since the early morning.

    Entering the lobby, and having to open the door for a pair of men headed outward appearing to move, one of which smelled like onions and raw, baked sour pickles— I spotted a mound of nearly new books and furniture in the area in which people often left free to take items no longer needed— alongside two tables—one hardwood coffee table and a smaller round one which matched, and a water kettle, all in good condition, and favoring the factor that I only ever picked up new or nearly used items anymore, as my apartment was technically full, I quickly gave a second-second thought to rearranging my apartment entirely, growing almost painfully bored of its current layout, and awestruck with the tinges of cabin fever, the stagnancy of being unable to move about the city freely— being as financially limited as I was and having been stopped by police several times already for not having the subway fare, even so just in nessecary errands—to the grocery store, or otherwise; and I had been in all corners deadlocked for an entire summer, almost unable to move at all and the world moving around me resulting in being outfitted almost entirely physically ill. The honking horns, motorcycles, and trash-wielding pedestrians of the busy corner—the unparalleled aversions to whatever unrest and chaos that lived out of view and luckily out of sight—but never out of mind, with its intrusive exhibition of technological sonic torture.

    Still, I was not altogether displeased—now having returned from the gym almost all the way worked out, having left early having realized that though fasting yesterday, I had spent the entirety of this day sipping on coffee and in complete hyperfocus, just finishing the final proof of the first edition of the printed version of Enter The Multiverse, and though with limited supplies, I felt that it would carry on in this way until somehow, I found a way to complete the process of taking The Festival Project as a label and now, The Collective Complex as a philanthropic non profit, onto higher grounds.

    Though I saw more the new furniture and books as a stroke of luck and some magic than necessary financial compensation for the time and energy I had drawn up into creative contributions and endeavors to society—I saw it as this— a looking up and forward from something that had once been only some strange form of compulsion and raw emotional expression, into a platform that could grow to help others overcome and survive hardships such as I had.

    —but not the other

    Something - something son

    Get a gun and blow my candles out

    White power now bout

    Building towers up

    To tear you down

    —I don't give a fuck about flax; seek

    Black seed, back seat black candles

    Black cat, relax,

    Atticus.

    I don't give a fuck about a Fallon,

    I bought a gallon of water for two jugs,

    And a quarter

    On my daughter.

    Get it?

    (Fuck you)

    Or should I go back to spending

    Spin class looking at candid camera

    I could buy a mountain before I sit down on mounds

    White Diamonds, 9 time champ

    I'm just like ET, don't mind that

    I'm a dead beat dad camped out in a van

    With a 30 second tan on, oh man

    Redact that one

    —FUCK—

    YOU.

    Power play

    I should wait an hour

    For the Amazon van

    METHOD MAN

    …hello?

    Flip the bitch right back

    I flip the whip

    And grip the script,

    I pistol whipped Bristol back

    To — camp

    Oh, That's not Jimmy Fallon.

    It's not?

    No.

    That's Sim Jim.

    Sim Jim?

    Uh huh. You see,

    Sim Jim took over for real Jim a long time ago.

    Oh…I really like that guy!

    Everybody likes Sim Jim; he's just like the real Jimmy, but takes care of everything The Real Jimmy can't.

    …that's making sense.

    They're nearly completely identical—Sim Jim is just more — available.

    Wow! He must be really famous.

    Yes, exactly.

    So—what about The Real Jimmy?

    What about him?

    What does he do?

    At this point, I knew there was no way I could really get around it—getting the Festival Project ™ off the ground and running—actually into production—seemed almost impossible.

    The shell and ghost of Jimmy Fallon seemed to be everywhere, plastered on walls and screens in all this time and at every turn —but the real masked man/-The Real Jimmy Fallon—was a mystery— the mask he wore, his own face, and his entire namesake, his own address.

    What would you do?

    I would probably never see him again on the material plane, but he had instead soaked my dreams in mystery in illusion—his shadow figure having become enchanted, whispering with ease as the voice of my own subconscious. Like any celebrity, he was untouchable—-and like any of them before or sense the seven years time, had come and gone into my quarry of philosophies and cosmic murmurs, only leaving behind the pondering of thoughts, now dwindled down into a reconciling judgement that perhaps I was, after all, somewhat broken. Perhaps, once, I had fallen asleep only to never wake up—perhaps I had died in all truth and not known it and had become the ghost myself. Shattered mirrors and references to time only left me with more truth and less overall knowing—that something had happened here—something strange and otherworldly; Something mystical and cosmic that had left me in audacity and crumbling inwardly in calamity, though my outer spoke with the calm outpourings of a humbled and collected but weary traveler, once, too made of dust—but now seeped in skin and rushing with blood—at least, I thought…and I thought far too fondly and far too often of Mr. Jimmy Fallon to care at all without being frustrated, or giving weight to the reality which was simple, in that he had become a galaxy in his own, so distant that it seemed to rival any coincidings of rampant thought which might be logical in any sort of way or make actual sense at all. The Jimmy Fallon I knew was the Jimmy Fallon everyone knew— and nobody knew The Real Jimmy Fallon. Three entire solid decades of fame between my world, and whatever his might have been fashioned as— fabrication, any means—and none of my actual business, besides the business—I crept into a sacrificial surrender with the hopes of never being further harmed—the ritual torture of those around me fading into rupture; the rapture of all mankind had gathered at my doorstep, and outside my window, and rather than to wait and watch, I crept and closed into my fortress of servitude, in solitude, silently keeping the records of what I had known.

    Collection 1.1 - 'actuality'

    Track 05. 'blink' (instrumental)

    Prod. By Blū Tha Gürū

    “Wonderful”, I mouthed silently, without the voice or the actual words for movement. I needed the laughter, and it had been long since I had actually laughed, or done much at all besides cry and wonder what the fuck I was going to actually do with my life, or what was to become of me.

    I held the book out to my side with one hand, the page still held with my thumb at the end of the chapter and beginning of the next, contemplating reading more— it would be an unknown amount of time before I would be here again—having fasted and walked the equivalent of what might be about 8 or 9 miles, worked out for an hour, and sweated out whatever might have been left with a soak in the tub. I was empty, closer to the divine than not, and feeling okay—not painfully hungry, but I knew that forgoing food would mean missing out on work that needed to be done, that I had been promising for months would be done, and finally was, however at a pace which only further exacerbated my anxiety further; I would only be able to focus on getting some soul-sucking, meaningless dead end job once I knew it was finished—otherwise, I knew it would be impossible to do anything; the algorithm had deemed it so that whatever I was doing, whatever I was writing, was more important than money.

    “That was it.” I confirmed with another silent thought, grasping the rose quartz in my left hand and raising the book with me as I crossed into the kitchen—the new addition of the couch saw to it that I had an actual living room, and though not separate from the kitchen, it was in fact a place that I could sit and read the many books I had collected one at a time—or two, for the moment. I couldn't wait to finish the page-turner I had been unable to put down for something like a week before I started this one.

    The frozen banana that I had forgotten I removed for the teeter in preparation to eat after a day of strenuous exercise and fasting had melted—luckily, I had frozen two of them at once, suddenly with the life force of something forgotten after my first cup of coffee in nearly three days—three days too long, and I realized my dependence on caffeine was just about as unhealthy as what was normally a constant roar of illegal immigrants on even sufferably equally illegal mopeds, as so said by the NYPD themselves, who had been blatantly useless at actually apprehending the assailants—nevertheless, at least I knew that there was a reason for the heavy exhaustion in the first place, overcompensating from the noise and civil unrest below with additional pots of coffee throughout the late afternoon and even evenings, in an attempt to sort though what would even take some writers rooms weeks or maybe even months. However, my writing and various works were even yet unfit to behold by the eyes of others—that is, besides my shadow of a podcast audience, the cult following I had gained piggybacking shamelessly uncrossing a line that had been crossed by the notorious entertainment industry itself, probably as a foreshadowing of what potential I could have, if left alone, fed, and sheltered for the right amount of time.

    I might have even finished by now if it weren't for the motorcycles; maybe that was the point. Maybe there was no point besides that most men are immature, useless babies; that their pride in destruction and chaos serves purpose for them to just as well be destroyed eventually themselves.

    Either way, I had at the very least gained a few wholehearted laughs—and now it was time to break fast. 10:00 PM, prime time for making music, but there were other important tasks at hand in order to be able to do so—and I needed the focus of a full stomach and peace of mind to do so. The peace of mind, I wasn't sure where to find—but my fridge was stocked full of food to ease the ache of an empty stomach with fruits I had been craving for days and vegetables I had collected throughout the week; errands which tasked me even further with the time to sort through the massive endeavor of making my work somehow out of thin air create an income; I had been working tirelessly for months when my food stamps were cut for ‘not complying with worth requirements' without notice. I only had one pair of wearable harems and a closet full of fashionable outward I refused to walk around in; I was fussy, and looking for a mate, not some crispy fuckboy buzzing around on a motorcycle; those days were over. Besides, the guys on Harley's were potbellied slags at best—someone else's problem, and also mine, at least sometimes. Men and their incompetence had surely set the world into a state of imbalance so deep and so heavy, it would have to take God being a woman to correct it.

    Nature needs Nurture.

    Now 30 rock was the obvious choice.

    —-

    It's getting deeper.

    Now I had to keep Tina Fey's book in the bathroom— the bathmat I ordered was actually more yellow than gold and differed drastically from the picture in the description, and it looked cheap and bizzare in contrast to the classy shimmering sequins silver and black curtain and stainless steel trash can which matched perfectly. I wasn't sure where it would end up—it did have the same yellow, and so I placed the book and the rug within sight of eachother, so that it gave the illusion of being matched.

    The curtains I bought but had used separately for window coverings and as garnish for the makeshift bookshelf in the studio—I hadn't any real curtains—the windows and walls were lined with sound absorbing audio panels, even in the kitchen where I seldom recorded, but had been plummeting through assortments of other work nonetheless, not to mention my resting recipes which were meant to be entries into an eventual cookbook, which I'm sure would come together now more quickly. The cover of the book matched the strange yellow, and rather than silver and gold it was now mismatched and looked cheap; but the bathmat could at least stay until I finished the book— which would admittedly probably be quickly; I had made it to halfway through the first book in less than a week—my first near cover-to-cover read, which if I hadn't picked up Ms. Fey's book— Ms. Fey? It sounded weird— wasn't she married?

    She did seem like some sort of a fairy though— a teeny, tiny pixie type lady with Godlike powers. She was some sort of God, to me, at least, I was sure of it—and probably to others. Weeks, or maybe even some months now before, reading tentatively though her Wikipedia page, I scanned over her numerous accolades—some which I hadn't even heard of, and within the first few chapters of her book, which I had picked up on an extremely strong whim to scoop out the little local library down the street, which I had admittedly decided to clear out the last two days selfishly so—but also according to Wikipedia, people weren't really reading anymore; besides that, the books seemed almost meant for me, intentioned at me with titles and colors that leaps out from the covers and pages, and some brand new. I took love in all the ways I could get—and this was one of them.

    It was certainly yellow and not gold. I was disappointed, but otherwise didn't care much. Now I had a reason to keep the book in the bathroom— as there certainly wasn't really any room for anymore books anywhere—and this book was special. I just didn't know why.

    I wondered often enough what makes someone so explicitly famous— sometimes, as it turned out, it was the effect or affect of hard work, talent, sheer grit, and an unknown amount of luck which seemed to vary from person to person.

    With Tina Fey, though she had been written into my own project primarily as Liz Lemon some years ago, I never knew exactly what I was looking at— but now that I was reading word for words a book first handedly written by one of my own favorite people, I knew that it had been something of a personal favor from God herself— something I didn't know I wanted or even knew existed at all— and laughs I needed.

    I shamelessly dangled and gushed at the book, and split my attention between the two I had so far been captivated by most— the other, memoir written by a twenty something uptown drag queen. Now I could try to collect myself into a proper person somehow, reading these works alongside writing my own, and conspiring to somehow finish not just the two originally intended music albums, but something that was actually altogether more like 4 or 5, if I could wrap my brain around counting them. I couldn't, though, right now. All I could do was soak in the tub, chugging water and reading a book, trying not to cry that the only money in the world I had were two crinkled up dollar bills in a coffee can and some change inside of a beautiful wooden box I had found on a jog through Brooklyn.

    {Tales of a Superstar DJ}

    Oh My, God—Tina Fey! Hi!

    I—uh—yeah.

    It's so nice to finally meet you.

    Hm.

    I—I was the hot water heater in your book!

    what's that supposed to mean.

    Did I read it.

    Working on it.

    Am I in it?!

    Why would you be?

    I don't know! Am I?

    Just— give me a few—

    How long is that?! What's a few?!

    How about a montage?

    CUT TO:

    THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKEN.

    And that's—JUST—what they'll DO!

    And—

    One of these—days—

    These boots—

    Are gonna WALKEN

    Ova U.

    Nancy Sinatra is still f#cking weird.



    I must admit, i feel personally attacked.

    OH, GOD.

    OH NO.

    This is certainly the thing you do not want,

    When trying to erase someone entirely from existence.

    Or at the very least…

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    …thinking about something in any sort of way.

    This.

    …and again.

    Is most certainly what you don't want.

    My walls are closing in,

    full figured artifact of closure,

    And in fact I exaggerated the fact of circumstance

    Because I had to

    Because I had to

    What, am I on in the other room?

    Supersonic as we all were,

    By the millions and by the numbers

    The simple heart attack was won,

    The hearty breakfast,

    Stripes were earned

    And not a one tear shed after

    –but my head hurts

    But my head hurts.

    You started it.

    I did not; but I most certainly will finish it.

    Quiet, they're coming.

    Quiet the children;

    Ready the talleys,

    Count all the votes,

    And stable your alters;

    Didn't I warn you?

    (I warned her!)

    Didn't I warn you?

    (I was warned)

    Didn't I warn you?

    (Why didn't you warn us?)

    Cause I wanted to

    I wanted to

    I wanted to hurt you.

    Well–dammit!

    What. what happened?


    #villain battle

    I can't kill you.

    What? Why not?

    It's–it's in my contract.

    lol damn what kind of contract did this dude sign?

    Lol idk tho.

    This could be progressive,

    But instead it's cynical

    A wizard and a mystic

    should make some interesting kids, though

    Another lesson timber, timbre all the violinists

    And the brass section is fascinating,

    Rather–

    More percussion

    DId you mean this?

    I meant everything I ever–

    *sneezing*

    *DIDN'T*

    Say.

    Gazuntite.

    Get away from me.

    I'm a hologram.

    Far away, please

    I am very far from you–

    Well get further.

    I'm in another dimension actually.

    What do you want, dude?

    I always finish what i start.

    What the fuck does that mean?!

    How should I know?! You wrote it!

    Then how are you gonna finish it?

    That's not what I meant.

    Then what did you mean?!

    Look! I don't know! All I know is, I did a movie and you wrote it!

    Just one movie or a whole saga!

    I don't know! Just write it!

    So you know some things, but not the most important ones.

    If I could see through all the plot holes, there'd be no drama

    It's all drama.

    It can't be.

    Yes it can.

    NO! There has to be some comic relief in it.

    What would that consist of.

    I don't know! I am a HoLoGrAm.

    A hologram, huh?

    Uh huh.

    So what happens if I touch you?

    I wouldn't do that.

    Oh yeah?

    *poke*

    Ok…

    YOU'RE NOT A HOLOGRAM AT ALL.

    Hm.

    I'm sick of subliminal images

    encrypted with ignorant messages

    Suggesting the supremacy of the caucasians

    And how blatant it is that they hate us

    Illusions of diversity and inclusions to get your money: the usual

    But the truth is, you're just a tool to them

    Employee discounts, of course

    Just so they can get some of their money back

    Or all of it

    Owners of corporations

    Your landlord is probably related to the people that you work for

    And so forth

    I'm sure that's why they're trying to push me to suicide before I record this

    And move forward with

    Something other than working for them

    Unless it's at banana republic, a luxury brand

    Cause i'm sick of looking like a poor foreigner in my own country

    When the reality is my ancestors are unhappy

    Karen, Becky and Annie are all happy with nannies

    And the rest of us are out here taking naps on ou break

    And unpaid mental health days

    It's Hell for the unwealthy

    And wealth is health so good luck eating what you need

    On an hourly

    Or salary under 150,000

    But what do I know?

    I'm suicidal eating whole foods

    That i stole

    The whole story is longer, but honestly I been trying to get a job

    That doesn't involve me jumping off of something or

    Counting someone else's money as they siphon all the energy from me

    I gotta wonder how much The Roc was auctioned off for

    Cause landlord and employer are just the modern words

    For “Slave Owner”

    DANE COOK: “I WANT A DIVORCE.”

    But that was a long time ago,

    I heard he was in love with a 20 year old or something

    So much for the rest of us:

    Here's to Tiesto and the rest of em

    Guys are so fucking lucky for never having to grow up

    Guys like girls that comb their hair constantly

    I like guys with blue eyes and blonde hair

    Not so suddenly,

    But i should have learned my lesson a long time ago:

    Now i”m crying my eyes out to Claptone

    WRiting rap songs trying to take my mind out the trap

    Rats are assholes

    Watch coffee run just to be closer to someone or something i love

    But haven't talked to my son in a month or over,

    Cause i”m sick of hearing about his father

    It's all he talks about

    It's like I don't even know em

    So morbidly obese I can't even hold him

    I think

    I guess i could have stayed in it

    And kept getting my face caved in

    Hoping a rave day every now and again would save me

    Ironically i don't believe in a white savior

    But i find caucasians savory,

    Every shade and flavor

    But rocky road hits close to home

    THrow me a milk bone and let me sober up

    Before I start to open up about Sonny or something

    Just another figment of my pigmented imagination

    Lived in pigpens beggin pigeons to grant my wishes

    Which is a kitchen–can't be a Grammy Award,

    I give in

    I lost interest, i'm just not skinny enough for

    Nevermind, don't need another reason to cry

    On the upper east side, avoiding the housing projects

    Just wanting to be discovered

    Or finish the festival project

    Or for someone to love or want

    Anything other than money or energy

    It's infinite,

    but with every cough i forget

    coughs must be a witch and just as obsessed with Skrillex as

    Everyone is

    He lives in my head

    I would say my bedroom, but

    I'm a permanent resident at Hotel Hell No

    –knowing that last line would be funny if I didn't have to cover 3 burroughs just to

    get old food

    From whole foods

    Cause nothing adds up in a cold room,

    that's renovated, which makes it easier to take it all in,

    Until i realize I'm the problem, and the coffee stains are setting in

    And i just wish the whole world would start over again

    With me on top of it

    Instead of at the bottom

    Of a pyramid

    With a flat top

    I took off from

    Upon discovering

    The entire human race is

    Racist, and they just

    Don't get it

    I'm the Great Spirit,

    But hate hearing my mixes

    Cause it's irritating

    I'm not gifted

    enough for INsomniac to sell tickets

    To any event

    Forget it,

    I'll finish this salad and knock myself unconsious

    for as long as humanly possible

    Leave my body

    At the hospital

    And listen to Gospel with God

    Then watch Kim Possible in awe of

    The long lost

    Christy Carlson Romano

    I love Broadway

    Or did once

    –then wake up

    Put a fake smile on

    Like i ate mcdonalds

    Then ran ten miles to get it off of me

    Like it isn't impossible

    It's not at all,

    –but in my body?

    Lol

    stop .

    What happens when you give a mouse a cookie?



    What happens when a legendary artist turns into a hologram

    And comes for you?

    Uhhh.

    What happens when you have no food and go to whole foods with one dollar?

    I don't know.

    'want to know.' (she's the queen) [interlude]

    Prod. By Blü Tha Gürū

    I live in a luxury building, but there's still a pest problem.

    The thing about segregation and racism in New York City is that it's blatant and quite obvious.

    The nicer areas are well kept and clean, quiet; areas for the whites.

    The dirty, trash strewn and dilapidated, overcrowded areas–for the blacks, ad anybody who looks like them.

    That's not to say that there aren't some of whichever on either side–

    But for the most part–

    If it looks like a dump, everyone's black.

    And if it's clean and well kept, everyone's white.

    So much for progression.



    You could say my neighborhood –or, the neighborhood itself–is kind of in the middle:

    But the pest problem persists at ground level.

    I keep my apartment sparkling clean.

    –but some how–these things keep trying to force their way in.

    Or simply–force me out.

    Either way, I'm moving up.

    She's a practical genius-

    An actual genius, they say,

    —but she'll never believe it.

    There's no more star struck

    Clouds strung together

    With bruises

    All the lies and all the lairs

    The layers of cake

    For birthdays missed

    A Christmas present,

    In lessons learned

    The Devil wishes

    For her to suffer

    Surely, she'll come around at some point

    But today, of course

    To her dismay,

    It's just attention deficit

    And jelly fishing

    Was the straight jacket really necessary?

    You said you were going to kill everybody.

    I was Skrillex!

    Sure you were.

    Silence, children

    I'd rather than to kill you

    Have to feed you forever,

    From my breast and my loins

    A sour milk gon totten

    Than to give you all

    To Television dinners

    And seat you at Tom's Restaurant

    In the smoker's section

    Rather now I die and here

    Than go on knowing

    I may never know my whole God again,

    God

    Thereby and there I go,

    Open and world over closer

    They simply shouldn't bother

    With such fragile and delicate a flower

    That she truly has

    Become carnivorous

    There, now children

    I shall feed you from the fertile soil

    Of another world.

    Not forgotten, but hidden from forsaken

    Shallow souls of pestering man animals

    The shallow souls of man animals

    To seed the sigh of senders promise

    Never worth fortold by nature

    Never less the sounds of science

    Never less control of masses

    The masters in distress,

    The makers of madness

    The masters of distress

    The makers of madness

    The makers of chaos

    Worth, running

    For, follow

    Tear, sacred

    Tears, sacred

    Take her

    Take her

    Again to the way now

    Take her

    Take her

    Again to the fortress

    Take her

    Take her again to the world now

    For even in a pit of snakes,

    A wolf is bitten

    For even in a tank of sharks, the ocean

    The lion would never triumph

    Take her,

    Take her again to the fortress

    Take her again to the world now

    Take her, take her to forests and fire

    Take her again to betrothed, nature

    Nature

    Nature

    Fall short shadow, will you

    Will call it

    The one who comes

    Is also myself!

    O, lord!

    The one who calls

    Is also myself

    Oh, My Gos

    The one who wakes,

    Is also my self

    No, God,

    Foreshadow my mark

    Foreshadow this kindness unto man,

    My shadow hath quaked in the dusk

    Lurking in all the, mine crevices

    Mine shadows,

    Mine evils,

    Mine darkness,

    Mine envy

    My death

    Falling under water,

    Here I am breathing in

    The deep of salt,

    The dault of man

    The dusk and dawn

    The fortress

    Wait here, dear shadow,

    For I must creep low to supply you with light

    Wait here, dear captor

    The world you have burned from our kindle

    Wait here, dear mountain

    For many years from now,

    You too shall again be the ocean floor

    Hear now, dear birds

    The words of our feathers,

    With hands that made wings,

    And voices of songs,

    You were born

    Wait here, dear shadow—

    For I am making you heat to nourish

    Wait here, dear shadow,

    For I must lurk and creep low

    To supply you

    Wait here, my dear shadow,

    For truth is only in essence,

    Your eyes now

    Wait here, my dear captor

    For shadows have waited much longer

    I pray you

    Every fucking Friday!

    I almost skipped today, you know—

    Just as I realized

    The Devil would attack at the moment

    I might have anointed my arrival

    To the oncoming

    And the devil is mine again

    As he has no power at all

    But my own

    Control your wits, captain!

    CONTROL MY WHAT?!

    There's a storm a foot and we're at the helm of it!

    I'M AT THE HELM OF IT!

    AYE! AND WE!

    I'M THE CAPTAIN!

    AS I SAID, CONTROL YOUR WITS!

    WHO'RE YE YELLING AT?!

    Oh My, God—Tina Fey! Hi!

    I—uh—yeah.

    It's so nice to finally meet you.

    Hm.

    I—I was the hot water heater in your book!

    what's that supposed to mean.

    Did I read it.

    Working on it.

    Am I in it?!

    Why would you be?

    I don't know! Am I?

    Just— give me a few—

    How long is that?! What's a few?!

    How about a montage?

    CUT TO:



    THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKEN.

    And that's—JUST—what they'll DO!

    And—

    One of these—days—

    These boots—

    Are gonna WALKEN

    Ova U.

    Nancy Sinatra is still f#cking weird.



    I must admit, i feel personally attacked.

    OH, GOD.

    OH NO.

    This is certainly the thing you do not want,

    When trying to erase someone entirely from existence.

    Or at the very least…

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    …thinking about something in any sort of way.

    This.

    …and again.

    Is most certainly what you don't want.

    My walls are closing in,

    full figured artifact of closure,

    And infact I exaggerated the fact of circumstance

    Because I had to

    Because I had to

    What, am I on in the other room?

    Supersonic as we all were,

    By the millions and by the numbers

    The simple heart attack was won,

    The hearty breakfast,

    Stripes were earned

    And not a one tear shed after

    –but my head hurts

    But my head hurts.

    You started it.

    I did not; but I most certainly will finish it.

    Quiet, they're coming.

    Quiet the children;

    Ready the talleys,

    Count all the votes,

    And stable your alters;

    Didn't I warn you?

    (I warned her!)

    Didn't I warn you?

    (I was warned)

    Didn't I warn you?

    (Why didn't you warn us?)

    Cause I wanted to

    I wanted to

    I wanted to hurt you.

    Well–dammit!

    What. what happened?


    #villain battle

    I can't kill you.

    What? Why not?

    It's–it's in my contract.

    lol damn what kind of contract did this dude sign?

    Lol idk tho.

    This could be progressive,

    But instead it's cynical

    Okay. I'm strong.

    Cause here they come.

    Ah, God. The lust monkeys.

    For no other reason

    I was at fault

    But none to blame

    The wiser sense

    that lied beyond

    My reckoning

    The wildest thoughts

    Bloomed as fruit from trees

    The nourishment

    Of a greater cause

    to die with forward

    Which would not fall

    But rain, did, somewhere

    –and in my ways,

    This was our world,

    The meaning of it

    Strewn to words

    With listens;

    Crafting tides and stardust

    Out of wonder and confusion

    lying scattered on the tracks

    As I'd imagined,

    Disrobed and also dishonored

    A horror movie,

    And no more judgements,

    For it was over, and drunk

    The water I had poured into hearts

    The shadow that hung over

    Like a gliding

    –well wait, what kind of bird is that?

    The taste of nostalgia

    Thought of a tune

    From a tune

    I had wondered before

    That i'm better alone,

    But no worries

    I call california

    No resignments

    I had assigned myself this watch

    It's at a standoff,

    No calls, no texts

    Shit,

  • "Indoctrinations" {Tales of a Superstar DJ}

    For the first time in a long time,

    Or at least sort of a long time,

    I seriously considered suicide,

    And all jokes aside, it almost seemed like the only option for someone in my predicament

    In my mind—

    I would never be white,

    I would never be liked—

    And I would never have the chance of getting my projects into the right eyes

    Or heard by the right ears.

    The sounds of motorcycles made me want to die.

    I didn't want anything at all-

    Not music, not even love

    That is,

    Besides being quietly held from behind.

    I felt like I was suffocating.

    Exercising was no longer enough.

    There was no such thing as love or time.

    I wasn't losing my mind, so much as my patience for mankind.

    Money ruins everything. Especially not having any.

    I just be fun to torture.

    How many versions of the Truman show are running right now?

    My entire generation under the guise of the American Dream, fighting to be famous,

    stars in our eyes and fame for sale at a certain price:

    What was the price?

    For some, precious bodies would prove to be fare fortune.

    For others, sheer luck—

    —and some—

    Inherited funding provided by l the indoctrination of the inequality and social warfare —not so simply just black and white, but rich and poor.

    And that it all is,

    Temporary.

    It never used to be this shifty.

    I actually never had a reason to believe in the paranormal.

    It's all paranormal.

    I took apart each dimension carefully,

    Sector by sector,

    And let it remain as it was–

    Tactile.

    I became complacent

    In knowing that all of death,

    ‘The Grand illusion”

    Was also just more of life,

    In another way–

    And wherever the previous thing was,

    ‘The Past'

    I'm thinking maybe we should end tonight early, while everything's still on a high note.

    You call that a high note.

    Everything is high to me.

    You said it, not me.

    You may as well have said it.

    I supplemented it.

    You,

    Are a temporary fix for a permanent problem

    Art on my wall,

    And a star on my walk—

    A room full of boredom,

    A clause in a contract

    No more than just

    Four words,

    All of four letters,

    All perfect.

    Why the pause?

    I've been

    Looking at this show

    As if it were a box of darkness

    Waiting to be unlodged

    From my corpse,

    Or rather, even

    Sarcophagus,

    As it were,

    The words and characters had formed

    Over me, more like a storm

    Though I had submerged under the surface

    Only to learn that I had

    Learned that somehow

    I could breathe under water

    And stay there forever,

    If I wanted,

    A shadow of showmanship,

    The fear of being further pursecuted

    For having infinitely discovered such inspiration

    In such an offhand

    Person

    Sure, not as eloquent as my usual entries,

    But this soliloquy,

    I beg of you—

    Is more of syllables

    You see?

    I have hatred in my heart

    That has flowered into my mind

    As some sort of algorithmic cursemark

    Where hereunto

    Even Google taunts me;

    Reminding me of my own failure,

    Sure of all my debts,

    Ugliness, and lack of money

    Assuring that I will

    Probably never

    Make it in show business.

    I'm drained just sitting here, still and surrounded by

    The working clsss cotezens

    Who parade around as if

    Doing something noteworthy

    By feeding the machine

    And playing along

    With the recfomensations

    Of doctors

    Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies

    And invested in politicians

    With racist policies and intentions

    To exterminate psychologically

    Only the brownest and brazen enough

    To know better than

    To follow the orders of

    A robotic and problematic

    —I'll stop you there

    It's three syllables. What are they

    I'll think on it under warm water

    And hope that this 8 year old scar

    Is unswollen

    By nightfall tomorrow.

    —it's a curse, or what?

    No, it's the government .

    The laws of karma affect all power and control beyond a magicians natural limitations and inhibitions.

    Just for shits and giggles,

    They planted the demons

    The shamans,

    And all of the actors

    They bought out

    The psychological terrorism

    Began when she had indeed

    Fallen by his hand—

    A fist at best

    But may have as well been

    The bullet of a gun.

    She spoke openly of social reform

    And affordable housing,

    Equality,

    And economically priced produce.

    —so they tried to murder her—

    On numerous occasions

    But couldn't.

    They started a war

    With a mother

    Who never believed in nothing

    And had lost

    Children

    To God itself.

    They waged war with an army of robots

    Using telephone service

    And terms of agreement

    They sent stalkers

    Who spoke of shamans

    And acted like demons

    Agents who

    Remembered

    The names of people

    Past

    And present

    None forgotten

    Witnesses to what had happened

    Burned notebooks

    And credibility clauses.

    God never forgot her

    But often brought warnings

    Of those that had come for her

    They painted a picture of mental illness and poverty,

    And with every hope,

    Forced the suicide

    Knowing that she'd leave her son a fortune—

    —but had not known,

    The gold was of the fools type—

    As was his father.

    The barrel of the gun

    Was the punching bag

    And the thinking horns

    The slamming doors

    $49 Dollar whores

    And interceptions of brainwaves

    The assasination

    Was purely a psychological thriller—

    The will had an omen

    That no money

    Would fall to the hands of

    The man

    Who had hurt her

    In front of her sons.

    So the world went on

    Without a mother

    Or without a God

    As they all had worshipped

    The opposite for so long

    That true love

    Has become

    Obsolete

    —like an old iPhone

    With a broken screen

    As a metaphore

    For generation Z

    Her body was the equivalent

    Of the thing you don't need

    But once used daily

    And couldn't have gone anywhere

    Without it

    A suicide seemed

    The only way

    To escape the debt

    And the only thing

    She used to love

    Was music

    Now,

    Just like her son

    It was just a job—

    And the worst part was

    Both things

    Cost too much

    To afford it

    The legend continues

    With having to record everything—

    When the recording stops

    The world attacks

    And anxiety takes over everything

    Once she starts to sing

    The people start coughing

    The lights start flashing

    The doors start slamming

    And the name of her son's father

    Whispers over and over

    Like the sound of her mother popping gum

    And sighing eggaderatedly in agony.

    It's a competition

    On a planet

    With 8 billion people

    Who all believe that

    (((Whatever they believe))

    And it must be true.

    It's a competition

    On a planet

    With I billion people

    Who all believe that

    (((God)))

    It must be

    -Ū.

    I didn't come here to be a messiah

    Or leave tire marks

    With my scuffed up Nikes

    Rounding the corner

    Out of Whole Foods market

    Like I stole something

    Only to come

    Back to the office

    To be greeted by shopping carts full of garbage

    Bad music on low quality speakers

    And trash under

    All of the ugly parked cars

    On the sidewalk

    White girls will boycott this series

    Because of how honest I am

    About how toxic they are

    With their microexpressions

    And arrogance

    In public.

    (It's just race-relations.)

    Where am I?!

    Apparently, I'm a vegetable in a coma.

    Right…

    So you won't just mind if I—

    No, not at all.

    Focus shifting is an aspect of multidimentionality in which a subject becomes perceptionally hyper focused with a seperate intention from previous projects or interests in order to better develop the consistency and understanding of the overal idea or process of creating, designing, building, or adding to various tasks and projects, with the overall realization that focus shifting to enhance the quality or oucome of one process may increase the likelihood of success in another— a more long-term of understanding multitasking, the in depth nature of focus shifting requires the extention of a project within the circumstantial purpose of completing or building on another, with the intention to return to the original task or subject with further tools, understanding, and conceptual awareness of the completed concept on a broad spectrum.
