fiendin' and jonesin'

I'm currently typing from a coffee shop near my house called WAVES. I've been a regular here for the past two weeks accompanying my best friend, Christine, as she studies for her Nursing exam coming up. I have probably consumed about 10 cups of Iced Lattes, Dark Roast Coffee, Red Rooibos Tea. Caffeine has become a food staple and I get headaches when I don't get my fix. Pretty bad huh? I've gotten to the point where even the songs running through my head are about caffeinated food and beverages aka "Chocolate High" by Musiq Soulchild and India Arie. Hahaha! "You're my double caffeine dream, yeah..." pretty much sums up how I feel everytime I walk into this place. Nonetheless, the company and the talks have been awesome.

I spent most of the night yesterday watching videos on the Philosophy of Life and Death. The prof is a guy from Yale University, Shelly Kagan. It's a very broad topic and in a world where death can be torn between a society of acceptance and a society where the concept is frowned upon...there are many heated arguments with human development about the concept of life. The class challenges the students to think outside of the box in more realistic ways as opposed to the values and traditions that we often are exposed to. I'm not quite done watching all the videos or even grasping the ideations that this prof is putting on the table but so far it has been an interesting philosophy to follow. I'll keep y'all posted on that!

I still have much of the day to finish. I haven't been following NBA too much but I hear it's Game One between Lakers and Denver. Not jumping on any band wagons so I'll just ride the "whatever" train and watch for the heck of it.

Happy Tuesday!

lazy sundays = good finds

Just went on a linking rampage on Twitter. Always on that music tip! Forreal. Check my twitter below or go to www.twitter.com/deejoyce cuz I'm too lazy to repost the links here. Add me while you're at it. This post is gonna be a short one cuz I'm still going through some musical hunts and adventures. Status on the killer cold?! On my way to recovery! Thank you medication and a goodnight sleep....finally! Seatown Saturdays on May 2nd with some homies. Something to look forward to throughout the week.

Okay maybe I'll post one video up. Lazy Sundays....it sure feels niiiiiiiice.

Urban Thermo Dynamics. VIBE TO IT!

battle of the viruses

So I failed miserably at getting better. Ended up going to Ebisu (Fancy Japanese Resto with lots of drinks and yummy food...for those who don't know!) last night and had some sake shots. Whoever said it was a good idea messed me up BIG time. (Thanks Christian and Rowe!)

Adlib and Bless-ed spinning at after hours tonight at Box Studios. I'm missing out on some good Old School Hip Hop and R&B tracks tonight. WOMP WOMP! Good thing is I get to catch up on the talent on the Apollo tonight.

I had a huge post coming up but some elements are still in the mixing lab and with my mind in the gutter from all this sneezing and wheezing? I think I'd rather let it pass until I'm 110% better. On another note, added TWO things to my remedy list!

BACTERIA BITCHES...meet BUCKLEY'S! You know that shit tastes awful but it works like a charm. AND meet NYQUIL! K.O.'in bitches till sunrise! Woop Woop! I can get a good night sleep. PLUS me being a homebody tonight. Now if this stuff doesn't place me in a better state by tomorrow I'll be out of options. Suggestions are welcomed! ;)

ROUND TWO! FIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT.

RE-EDIT 10:21PM PACIFIC TIME.
Saturday night beat treats for all the cool kids staying in. Enjoy! ;)

ill doesn't ALWAYS mean you're cool

So I'm feeling sick and restless. Not a REAL homebody, so staying home has proven time and time again to be a difficult task. With Rosa coming over though...and Fridays being the normal MARJ nights, I doubt things will go as planned. Totally not feelin' the club vibe this week for sure though. I bought a bunch of things that hopefully will kick up this weak immune system of mine.

THE REMEDY
1. Plenty of pill poppin'...Advil is my best friend today!
2. Plenty of Vitamin C infusin'...That's where my Grapefruit and Strawberries come to play!
3. Plenty of warm fluids drinkin'...Orange Pekoe and Honey! Yepp.
4. Plenty of soup sippin'...Cup O' Noodles is what's on the menu tonight.
5. Plenty of nose blowin'...Bought some soft kleenex to wipe that funk riiiiiiight.
6. Plenty of bed restin'...Brewing up the next post as we speak.

Battle of the Virus ROUND ONE! FIIIIIIIGHT.
Eeeeeasy does it kids! I hope to drop kick this mu'fugga down by sunrise tomorrow.

Stay tuned...
