Collected Thoughts - September 30th
October 04, 2007 | 23 Ramadhan 1428
What would happen if I were to write down a collection of thoughts, a stream of concious as it were, from what I saw and what it made me think of? This is a short experiment in just that, from last Sunday while returning from the airport, iPod playing, and just soaking in the various scenes that played out before my eyes.
Fast food. Black folks. My folks. Over weight. My weight? Under educated. Under opportuned. Ambitionless. Is ambition a learned skill or bred in the bone? Tangier. Mojo. Jack. Yoga. Voodoo. Projection. Black suit. White shirt. Black tie. Empty street corner. A preacher? Repent! Standing in the shadow of our own light. Destinations. We’re never at our destinations because we’re waiting to go somewhere. Charles. Marion. Naeem. Khalifa. Charles. Anwar. The understanding of an Arab is in his yes. Hogwash. Bullshit. Layla Olupe. Faith. Practice. We have a saying: “If a man puts a cord around his neck, God will provide someone to pull it.” Remember that. I live an untempered life because I lost so much faith. Fe. Rah’bah. Figure she’s got a figure, boss? Jackson. November. Train’s here. Dude looks like ‘Tain Watts. 2-2-5-1-8, Tangier. Troma. Is it even appropriate? Told them about Charles - no response.
This is a collection of thoughts, sounds and scenes from September 30th, 2007. May try this again some day.
