in the heat of heat

chillin with some way superonionated guacamole & rob base (it takes two).

had killer workout with personal trainer & am seriously rockin the k turn in the land they call brooklyn. mercy me! turn up the thermostat & the brooklynites will really show you where it's at...and where it ain't.

For instance: in other parts of the planet, when you say double parked, you usually mean that there are two cars temporarily parked parallel to one another about five/six inches apart, thus making the driving area left that much more narrow. But in The Land They Call Brooklyn, double parking really means

you shouldn't even be stepping to me talking bout no mofo driving school and raggedy &^% law, imma stop where i please and today me and my friends happen to want to stop dead in the middle of the road. Now run tell dat!
Ah, life...

Saw a brother on the train eating an open faced wish sandwich. (Whole grain.)

Saw the chocolate thunder and the cinematic wonder that is Don Cheadle in his latest, "Talk to Me". This film is a triumph. Not just because it is so very excellent--from casting to cinematography to Blanchard's sound design--but because it is so rare that we get to see such a range of African American talents showcased on the big screen. Yes, there is quite a bit of language and some sexuality, but the story is what is featured here, not a bunch of profanity and sweat masking weak storytelling. Quite the opposite. It is funny, touching and provocative.

Check it out.

Stay hydrated in these August days of much hotness.
