Jurassic Park is terrifying! I remember why I haven’t seen it since I was nine. I am literally on the edge of my seat every 5 minutes of this film! It is non-stop horror!
I wish I was brave enough to say it to you, but
I wish I was nicer, but tonight I feel like an iceberg. I’ve been through this too many times, the act you put on, I’ve seen a dozen, two-dozen times. I’m tired of these same old games, hoped you were different, that you weren’t that lame, and these disappearing acts build up disappointment faster than a Lunatock track. Being a gangsta is so last year, and your temper is...
Clever eyes...
Girl inform me all my senses warn me your clever eyes could easily disguise some backwards purpose it’s enough to make me nervous. Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye? But your lips when we speak are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire. So let me walk these coals till you believe I can cut the mustard well enough ‘cause you know as soon as breathe we...
So many questions, but no way to ask.
WTF happened?
I really do not understand.
I miss American music.
It is seriously lacking here.
And I’ll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there’s sunsets and...

Ignorant dickheads are kind of amazing.
DA: Everyone knows about this so its on them for not showin up.
Me: EVERYONE? No, just the people who went to A-town, grew up in the highlands, know Chris or Jamie, etc. You all don't know real niggas, serious about their shit, in the west and east end. and I doubt they would do a battle that wasn't sponsored by B96 anyway. I'm just saying there's a lot of Louisville talent that won't be represented before everyone runs around gettin' a big head about doing a "real battle" in the 'ville.
Me: Don't get me wrong, my boy will be spittin' and he's an east end nigga, but he really hasn't been reaching out to people he knows about this shit, so I doubt you all have serious connects with the other underground music scenes here.
CM: B96? [to me], I've actually BEEN on B96 for Spoken Word back when I used to do that at the Brickhouse. I've got Christopher 2X's phone number and everything. Plus, don't you remember me outwriting you every day in poetry class in Atherton? I'm not going to be an easy opponent by any means, and I have TWO battles. You know first hand I'm a beast so let's see if your boy can hold his own. hahahaha.
Me: You outwrote a 14 year old girl and you're PROUD of that? hahaha.
CM: Yeah, because you were full of shit every time, putting down everyone's writtens thinking you were the shit until I came along. Your location doesn't justify whether you're talented or not. You could be hard as fuck coming straight outta Shepherd Square but if you're not on your A-Game then you aren't going to beat me. Trust. Notice how the powerhouses are white kids from the Highlands. You can be from any walk of life. It doesn't matter where you come from.
Me: Hahaha. I'm just a little girl, Chris. I'm glad you thought that hard about it. I'm sorry you thought I cared about what anyone thought. I just happen to be able to spot good writing, and I do believe I complimented yours more than a few times. I never said mine was the shit, but ohhh well. Like I said, I was only 14. Boohoo for the sad little sophomore trying to have fun in a poetry class that was a joke. :) I'm in college now. What are you up to? Oh, you're a powerhouse? I know recording artists hosting parties at nightclubs all over Louisville, get played on the "Best of the Ville" segments, tour all over the country, and record with names like Kanye. "Powerhouse" is kind of an exaggeration. Sorry.
CM: Haha who cares about local acts? I work for War Lab Records. We just signed Canibus and released his latest album, Melatonin Magik. Just because you know people doesn't mean you actually work with them. But I'm not trying to flex nuts, I was just informing you that you were a petty bitch back in class -so you defend yourself by trying to degrade my quality by comparing our age? lol. It's not my fault I'm older, but it is my fault for being better.
Me: I didn't know we ever competed, and I don't think you can judge yourself as "better" because you're signed to a label, most recording artists are "unsigned" and do their own shit, or find a talented group of people to work with and call it a "label". I'm not trying to work with anyone in the industry, I just happen to be friends with people involved in hiphop and making music. It isn't my fault every other person calls their self a rapper. We're both doing two different things with our lives. Mine involves a completely different kind of writing, which I happened to get a full ride scholarship for. I'm not flexing my nuts, just trying to open your mind. Not everything is a competition, especially a "who's better" challenge, because I'm frankly not interested in being better than anyone. I was just trying to have a conversation about a huge part of Louisville's scene that's been left out of the battle, and hasn't been advertised to at all. I just thought it was funny that you still think of me as a child, when I'm not at all like I was in high school, especially my freshman/sophomore year. Usually no one is, to be honest. You're kind of ignorant for holding onto that, but it's not my problem.
Waiting, wishing...
Now I was sitting waiting wishing That you believed in superstitions Then maybe you’d see the signs But Lord knows that this world is cruel And I ain’t the Lord, no I’m just a fool Learning loving somebody don’t make them love you Must I always be waiting waiting on you?

I want to get high and take a shower.
First thing I will do when I get home.
Car tunnels, heart racetracks, Wales.
We speed into the tunnel, full of waiting. Slipping into the shadows and swallowing a deep breath, I count, still waiting. I’m waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. I will wait forever, breath held tight to my chest, wishing to be happy. That’s what you do in tunnels: you make a wish. Mine is always for happiness, but I tack on a second, more selfish, wish. To be happy with...
