I think I 'ma speak like Rick James and let 'em
eat it up l ike Ghandi I f I was to be a writer I 'm
not settled for the Low Racks cause I sti l l figure
whats the use I created a platinumwax statute in
memorial of Dr. Suess. - Me (courtesy of
www.platinumwax. info) I heard people getting al l
angry about Rappers. I heard people saying
they "voted for change" and I remember seeing
a mil l ion people arguing an eternal argument
about being done with this or that notion of
political freedom. I was reminded that America
eats its young and that "Freedom Isn't free." So
much for getting something out of nothing. . .
bummer. Conversely owning a gun or drugs
basicly gives people the same rights as Dr.s
Kil l ing a man ful ly grown with a gun is the exact
same thing as giving his mother a post birth
abortion and letting a young rave girl OD on
some bullshit she thought was gonna make her
have a good time at the party. This is al l to
varying degrees the same thing as a post birth
abortion. I rarely get the chance to speak about
what matters. But with that said we are here and
we are ready to "focus on what matters."

Some say the wil l for grassroots political
action is now more alive than ever. . . Others
think that the wil l to succeed is now lost and
forgotten amongst the chaos but order and
chaos are necessary for existence. Two
polarizing opposites which need each other.

Some people have never done it so they
can't tel l you how it is done. Some People
are not wil l ing to sacrifice the time to
create, package, and distribute from the
ground up. But here we see music is an art
for best accompanied with the visuals. See
what the behind the scenes look at art can
do for you when you know what the
purpose is. Feel free to create. I t starts with
an idea. This idea can be a theoretical
"sketch book".
'O how 'Jiggy' Can You Get With this?
"Things that mind don't matter"
Like a network where communication and
productivity are perpetual ly low.

Does anyone remember Track and Field I I for the
NES 8-bit gaming system for that matter? Ha-ha-ha
cause I sure as hell do! I remember taping away at
that game unti l my thumbs swelled red. Me and my
brothers would battle in the tae-kwon-do matches or
fences our asses off trying to get that digital rapier to
tap each other out and score the wining point. I f no
one remembers the classic gaming glory of the NES
then I wil l spend all my days remembering when I
was about 8 or 9 and my family couldn't even afford
the popular system, super NES, so we we happy
with the blessings of a previous generations, NES,
and all it had to offer us. I remember the first game I
ever beat was Super Mariou Brothers 3. I t was the
year of 1 993 and one faithful Christmas mom and
dad blessed us, me and my brother scrambled
around the TV and hooked up our wonderful system.
We had but a few games, super Mario Brothers
2/Duck hunt (the combo cartridge) and Mario
Brothers 3. And we ended having to go back to
school after Christmas break and if you know
anything about the original NES system there a
lacking feature most would find peculiar today: NO
SAVING!
So while sleep or in school my younger
brother and I would quietly turn the l iving room TV
off while being careful to leave our glorious NES
systems red power l ight glowing a vibrant red and
the unit ful ly powered on. I sti l l remember my mother
being pissed about how we were: “'Gon run up her
l ight bi l l ! ”
But we didn't care, we were at peace only when at
play with our NES, we were in Nintendo land, we
were in Mario's land, we were sti l l trying to get our
hands on the upgraded 1 6-bit Super NES.
I remember being distinctly behind the
gaming hardware curve when I was a youngin. Ma'
could barely put vidles on the table, let alone provide
us with a top of the l ine gaming system. But I always
was hopeful and it only took a little over half a
decade later when I was sporting two of my own
Nintendo 64's with 4 control lers each and all
because I didn't l ike passing up the control ler so I
wanted ample sticks on hand for company. I sti l l
remember having gaming nights at my house and
being intoxicated with the Super Smash Brothers
induced euphoria.
But to al l gamers I say, REMEMBER THE
CLASSICS! DUCK HUNT, CONTRA,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battle Toads,
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out(The original NES
boxing game!), Rad Racer. And for the
Genesis remember, Streets of Rage? Damn
it do you remember? Remember how many
god forsaken hours of you life were spent
repeating levels of that game? Remember
Donkey Kong Country, Mega man, and
Metroid Prime? Remember when “he,” was
really a she? And how much total ly wicked
fun you had trying to beat those levels while
passing the control ler around with your
friends?
But if you don't then that is al l good
and well . Maybe you never had a ful l chi ld
hood and never experienced the virtual
status symbol known as embodied in the
American tradition of the digital home
entertainment system. I mean I waited
nearly a decade to play many of the games I
dreamed of but couldn't afford the $50-per-
game price tag at the time. And if you are
l ike me you find most of your games at l ittle
novelty shops or for 1 0 bucks a piece online.
Just remember while you shop that garage
sale and happen to notice that vintage NES
system in complete working order, NO
SAVING.
