hip hop generation is coming to town this weekend. There's a march at the capitol tomorrow, and from 10 pm to 2 am DJ Bobbito, and one Mr. Afrika Bambaataa are going to be there. I'm there! It's fucking AFRIKA BAMBAATAA! How could I miss?!

OK, so not only is he gonna be there, there's going to be lectures(which you have to register for which I haven't done) about the future of hip-hop, what hip-hop means, the politics of hip-hop, the music industry, and what sounds like a cool lecture about feminism and women in hip-hop.

Also performing are many other groups, the only other one I recognize is Gza the Genius from Wu Tang. Indeed. Also Cesar Chavez's nephew(and I think brother or brother in law?) has a hip-hop thing going, so they're going to be performing.

And speaking will be Amari Baraka who's going to do some spoken word and I think some lectures. His son will also do some stuff.

Afeni Shakur is doing some spokent word, I believe and on Sunday night she's going to be speaking about Tupac. I think the Black Panthers are gonna be there, too, but I'm not sure. I don't know about the New Black Panthers, from what i hear it sounds like their leader died and he was a bodyguard for Farrakhan or something like that. I wish they wouldn't be caught up in NOI. oh well. I really dig the original Black Panthers. I mean, do you think that cops would have the balls to shoot unarmed black men when there are citizens policing the police? Too bad the FBI and COINTELPRO got rid of the BPP. *sigh*

And I was listening to WORT today, and they were talking about the Skull and Crossbones society and other similar groups. I have heard of them, but didn't realize they formed such a brotherhood amongst the movers and shakers. Makes me sick...

I'm really happy today. I've been taking a nice little combo of pills that have enabled me to stay alert, funtioning and positive.

One is an energy pack that has a vitamin b complex, and 4 types of ginseng, green tea(which apparently has some sort of stimulant that isn't caffeine), guarana, fo ti, and more.

Another is Biotin which is a B vitamin that helps your body utilize energy more efficiently. They said alcohol and caffeine consumption degrades your bodies biotin levels.

Vinpocetine to enhance cerebral blood flow.

Soya Lecithin for Choline which is a precursor to AcetylCholine which is a neurotransmitter.

I was taking DHEA but found it was affecting me negatively. My muscles ached and I didn't feel right, so I stopped taking that. I only tried it two days.

I have GABA sometimes before I go to bed and find it helps me remember my dreams and seems to vivify them as well. I'm just glad I've been more energetic lately. I usually get tired late in the day after lunch, but lately i'm still going, alert, aware, not groggy, I don't even think I yawn once. My sleep with GABA has been much deeper and more effective, I think. I don't always take GABA before bed, though. Maybe I'm just in a better mood naturally that the weather is good now. Who knows.

Sorry I'm not writing any deep thought on anything today. Oh well. There are people I've neglected lately and I feel terrible for it. I wrote to Holly, but I need to write to Tim and Denyel as well. I wish Yuko would write but I don't know if she will. And Sumiyo would be nice to hear from as well. *sigh*

Oh and fucking Melody would be wonderful to hear from, but I don't think that's ever gonna happen. She found a boyfriend, and she thinks she's in love for the first time. That was in like September. That was also when Rosemary and I were really forming our bonds early in the relationship, and I found out about Melody when I came back from a night at Rosemarys. I was so happy for her and wrote to her to know that I shared her joy. I would just like to hear from her one more time before we say goodbye. We never had a proper goodbye. Maybe she'll write again someday, maybe not. oh well.


Good bye.
