The BEST Pan-African Historian EVER! John Henrik Clarke - A Great and Might Walk

a million times more interesting than listening to my man noam chomsky, twice as soulful as howard zinn documentaries...i present to you one of my all time favorites via our new overlords @ google video Mr. John Henrik Clarke setting the records straight on world history once & for all

...because as we all know there is no such thing as black history (unless you're referring to the black out on the true role of non europeans in history books the world over)because all of our histories are & have always been interconnected.

its time to arm ourselves with accurate information in order to fight back effectively...globally such a thing will make street protests in portugal, italy, greece, spain, tunsia, egypt, yemen, etc. into an international & intergenerational revolt against the current status quo that has trapped us all.

REAL TALK: Belafonte on Obama

attention spineless liberals!!!
for those of you that believe i'm too hard on president obama i found a video clip to corroborate my sentiments featuring a much more mature, thoughtful, & (perceived as) safer older black guy...Mr. Harry Belafonte

our lives are too precious & times are too volatile to surrender to the perceived safety of the center...fight back

Real Talk with Dr. Gabor Maté

randomly catching an interview with Dr. Maté back in the spring of 2010 totally changed my life. if it wasn't for the good doctor's insightful words i never would have began the introspective psilocybin based summer benders that helped me deal with all of the personal emotional turmoil that the past 2 years have introduced to my generally healthy psyche. beginning to independently dissect my own history has been unbelievably liberating & helpful. the general population being either thoughtful or mindless sheep are lost in the age of consumer capitalism. people need to engage some serious introspection to better understand the true mechanics of how we make decisions, the basis for the ways we interact with the outside world, why we mistreat ourselves & others.
perhaps working as a preschool teacher has colored my opinions on the way that we raise our children in the modern world...but it actually kinda seems to have just reinforced many of my previously held beliefs...(in fact one of the craziest things is the link between why i am crazy & work as a caregiver!)

the 2010 release: blackdalyight - LOST

The New Jim Crow

both of the 2 parts of legal scholar, author, & seemingly all around lovely & thoughtful person Michelle Alexander's democracy now interview discussing how her book delves into the new age of legal institutional discrimination...aka america's new caste system [notice its caste not class...there is no escaping your caste]

SPLIT (The New International Co-Op Compilation)

so apparently i work so hard that i somehow forgot that this compilation was coming out! its a little something from my german friends over @ stigae music put together with 2 other netlabels [Another Chance Records from Espana & CUNTROLL based out of Russia].
in the spirit of workaholism i'm posting this link without having listened to any of the songs (except the 3 that are mine of course!),but i'm almost positive that my experimental european musical contemporaries can keep it groovin...

please feel encouraged to let me know if my assumption is correct

H o m a g e

ok, so i am not a salesman or a corporate stooge, but since Image-Line's FL Studio software has been one of the best things in my life for the past 6 or 7 years i figured that i would give them a shout & people reading my blog a link to how i make musical madness...+ you know you might as well buy the full, legal, stable version.

The Best Skater EVER!

marc johnson is my favorite skater. i just saw yeah right! & this guy murders everything!
literally the cleanest rider that i have ever seen. of course i'm no skate video fiend, but i know that mj is a bad motherfucker.

enjoy!
