Album Review: Indicud

I was depressed not even 2 weeks ago that I didn't have any new music to pump in my earbuds while pumping iron because music is my crack; I need it. But low and behold my latest favortie artist, KiD CuDi, to the rescue with his 3rd major release, Indicud. Slated at first for an April 23 release date, the album dropped April 16 after the (why act surprised) 'album leak' that's become a fixture in the era of digital music.

Cudders is just that cat I (chose to) identify with via music. From Man on the Moon:The End of Day to Man on the Moon II:The Legend of Mr Rager Scott Mescudi has been figuring out his own path in life and his music has been my soundtrack as I figure out mine.

All Hail Galvatron!

Back at it, again! I had to let motorcycles #1 and #2 go and upgrade to motorcycle #3! And before J gets to cracking, the Suzuki was running when I sold it! Only the ZX9 was out of commission. But I couldn't go back to a 600 after thrashing in 3 different states on a 900cc/141hp machine! So ya boy upgraded to the arguable King of Beasts from the unofficial "Speed War" between the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers and copped the Kawasaki ZX12R - the first motorcycle to be limited to 186 mph (not that I plan to ever see that fast, really).

U.O.E.N.O. but I'm a hardcore pack rat. Bikes 1 and 2 were just sitting - 1 wrecked and 1 dead battery. I swore up and down that I was gonna get them back on the road but 7 months went by without me so much as even making a purchase toward that goal. I ho-hummed with J all winter about getting an old school Monte Carlo or a Cutlass so women can start wearing dresses on dates (and so I could date during the winter) but that obviously didn't work out. I thought I would just get a car and re-up on a bike next year but I'm a rider and I'll never be satisfied with 4 wheels and a cage.

Beauty Lies

While waiting to click the "Skip" link on a Youtube video, I was pulled into a video production that simply moved me in a way that few Youtube sponsors can.  Recently Dove released a video featuring a forensics sketch artist and a group of women who were asked to describe their appearance to him through with the sketch artist seeing them.  As the video progresses, we learn that the women all had an additional assignment - to get to know one of the other women participating in the project.  Once the women each described themselves, another woman in the group would describe one other woman.  The end result was two separate sketches of each woman.  A personal description and a description from a stranger.
