Road Worrier

I spent Saturday and Sunday in Detroit. I had to get my CD changer re-installed and of course, to see my peoples. I hooked up with Three and we had an interesting talk about his immediate future. He's likely about to move to L.A. in the next few months. The dude is jonesin' for this chick. I think as talented an artist as he is, that may be a good move for him. I just suggest that he not move to be with a chick that makes goo-gobs more dough than he does. Ask Ryan Phillipe or Chad Lowe.

Later that night, me and T.A.D. went to this neo soul thing. It was tight up until the end. We were deeply ensconced in the belly of the Black bohemian beast. More dredlocs and African musk oils than the law allows. It was my kinda crowd.

I gotta ask my Philly peeps to help get Jaguar Wright to a detox center, stat! Her set was all cussin' and smokin' and drankin' and shit. It was a bit MUCH. And I really don't give a fuck about any of those things in and of themselves. But it was like watchin' a bootleg film of Redd Foxx at the Kit Kat Club circa 1962 . Tighten that shit up, Jag!

Everytime I see T.A.D. I'm like a sponge, trying to soak her up. I need more time with her. I gotta find a way to see her more. It's fuckin' depressing when we have to part company after basically short periods of time and I've thought about seeing her for days. I was open to this shit happening just like I was afraid of.

On Sunday morning Robyn and I went to breakfast. That was the fucking ticket. It's the shit I needed. We both vented alot. We're both extra frustrated about shit. I didn't even have to do a lot of talking for her to understand what I was feeling. To paraphrase Jay-Z, Robyn and I go back like T.yra Ba.nks' hairline. She knows me, period. More so than even my boy Three.

And that drive back to Satan's Anus doesn't get any less depressing.

I hate to be nosy ... but did you take the french lesson?

It's good to spend time with someone that you don't have to explain everything to ... they just know. Very cool.

@Robyn
Talking to you did me a world of good and made me sad at the same time. I'm in for the looooooooooonnnnnggggg haul. I just better buckle up.

@Slish
She should be stackin' loot. As should Eric Roberson. It's the publicity machine's fault.

@IllNana
I'm tryin', mama.

@Chele
I don't think you hate to be nosy! The short answer: no. The long answer: I don't wanna talk about it.

That is the benefit of old friends. They know even if they don't say.

My boy J is like that (we know each other almost better than we know ourselves). I can't wait for him to come out on Friday. I need that.

And, I'm all happy for you on the T.A.D. tip! Glad someone seems to be worthy of your attention - and she's keeping it! Sweet.

Dang, I didn't know Jaguar was that out of control. Although she is a little scary in an interview. She forgets she's on the radio and cusses and can't finish a story. And she's always mad about something or the other, and hates being refered to as "Neo-soul". Sheesh, I guess she does need an intervention....

Anyway, sounds like you had a good date...that could lead to more???? How about a least once per month you stay in Detriot for the weekend? Can you actually stay at your parents house for a whole weekend???

Knockout Zed said...

@BZ
She's worthy and well qualified. I think I'm trying to prove I am too.

@OneFrom
I knew she hated the neo-soul thing, even though the event was basically a "neo-soul" set. She's uncouth like Mary J. in '92. She's a bit too old for that shit.

My parents live in Florida. I don't have any relatives in Detroit anymore. I'm kinda hit in that respect.

At least you are still close enough that you can drive back to your hometown. Imagine if it was a five hour flight.

Little Brown Girl said...

Awwwwwwwwwww I'm glad you had a good weekend...sometimes we have to hold on to the little things and if it happens to just be one or two weekends a month when you can be around people who make you feel good...then that is what you look forward to...your next weekend with "your kinda peeps"

There is only one person who knows me like that (inside and out without even having to open my mouth to tell him what I'm really feeling)...it's a shame people don't really take the time to dig that deep and see the roots of a person (no matter how ugly). I love him for that...and glad that you have Robyn to share with (without judgement)

Keep smiling Zeddie...it does get better.

Oh and ummmmmm I never was into Jag...she urks me!!!

BKBajan said...

Zed, happy to hear you had a decent weekend, a little bit of something (TAD, Robyn, Three and some Nsoul)is better than a whole lotta nothing (a totally boring weekend)stop letting SA depress you, hell you can drive to Detroit every/other weekend, you have a vehicle, put it in drive and haul ass to the D.

Knockout Zed said...

@MizJJ
I think if I was further away, I could resign myself to the idea that I'd have to make due. Because I'm relatively close, it's like it's just beyond my fingertips.

@RD
I'm pretty good with patience, but I gotta work on the desire thing. Once again to dip back into the Zen well, that's the shit that's causing me discomfort. I gotta stop wanting shit so much.

Jag need help.

@OSB
I need some gas money! You're right though. I just gotta go more often.

oh snap
Tyra Banks!!!
I never really noticed it before.

Blah Blah Blah said...

I was gonna say something real flippant...but I know your vuerable right now...so I'll say...

Interesting.

Knockout Zed said...

@GC
Yeah, it was kind of mean too, but I didn't say it first. Jay-Z did!

@Mack
Three majored in graphic design and currently works as a graphic artist. He's playing himself. That's the most talented muthafucka I know. His gig and income don't reflect that.

@Blah
Yeah, you sensitive!

ooh looks like somebody might have them a little holiday snuggle buddy!

good luck with all that!

Sangindiva said...

ZEDDDIIIIEEEE!!!

I've been missin you like old skool and 8 tracks!!
What's up man!? I have been on a month blog hiatus but can always count on your depression making me feel better :)
You need to move away from the Anus...
I bet if you did you'd get MORE than your groove back!
Holla at me!

Little Brown Girl said...

Wanting shyt is actually good...it keeps you pushing forward. If you didn't desire things you'd be complacent and that's far worse then desiring and not being able to get what you desire. Determination is what prevails in the end...always. stay committed to the things you know you want and deserve and in the end your perseverance will take you to places that not even you could of imagined.

Ok I'm off my soap box today. I'd be the shyt if I followed my own advice though... *wink*

Oh and your blog was broke for like 20 minutes LOL!

Rashan Jamal said...

I think Jaguar is just one of them artists that dont wanna play the game and consequently will never break out of her niche.

LOL @ the dredlocs and musk oils... Was there a lingering aroma of Mary Jane in the air?

ChezNiki said...

I feel you on that depressing ride back. Im with One, over there. Go home once a month even if your fam is no longer there...itll do you a world of good, help you keep your swagger and help keep you out of the the grilled cheese urea of the Anus!

Angel said...

you wrong for the hairline crack. everybody cant rock the lace0fronts like she seems to do with such "ease!" LOL

sidebar--you know i love me some slum village too, right? especially that song. even though im partial to "many ways." but i can't front when elzhi spits: "Stick my tongue in ya bellybutton
Reach down below, ya know I'm well sprung
Hit ya from the back to get ya calfs trembling
And pull ya hair 'til its straight, you'll look half Indian..."


mmmmm...that's my kinda thug-lovin! LMAO!!!!

Knockout Zed said...

@Miss Ahmad
Snuggle buddy? I can't fuck? That's so wrong!

@SanginDiva
I don't know I feel like an asexual loser right now. Gettin' my swagger back would be a dangerous thing.

@RD
Blogger is wack!

The stuff you say is true. You gotta be ambitious, but I'm in physical pain when I think about the shit I want. That ain't good. It can't be good.

@T Cas
I like rebels, but she's on some other shit. Millie Jackson is gon' fuck her up for stealing her act.

Suprisingly, there was no weed smell at all. That was a first.

@Chezniki
Every time I go back, it increases the longing. I can't take too much more of this. I need to get farther away or just go the fuck back.

@BTB
I'm on my way to the jewelry store to buy the ring. I gotta propose to you, right now!!! A woman that knows her Slum Village? One in a million.
