Enigma

There is no peace with you,
Nor any rest!
Your presence is a torture to the brain.
Your words are barbed arrows to the breast,
And one but greets
To wish you sped again.
Frustrate you make desire
And action vain.

There is no peace with you .
No peace . . .
Nor any rest.
Yet in your absence
Longing springs anew,
And hopefulness besets the baffled brain.

"If only you were you and yet not you!"
If you such joy could give as you give pain!
Then what an unguent for the burning breast!
And for the harassed heart
What rapture true!
"If only you were you and yet not you!"
There is no peace with you
Nor ever any rest!

Written by Jessie Redmon Fauset (1882-1961)

Really Really Good

Nothing but the best in underground sounds, guerilla multimedia tactics, and
funky fresh flicks of chicks, packed into one super duper fly column. Watch your step.

Since this is the first installment of this online scroll, I'll fill in the potholes with some flavor that still sitting in the Canhead refrigerator. If you are a fan of this blog version, you may have heard the punchlines before. Laughing with the new comers is highly encouraged.

anyway.....with no delay....just check out the new style I display!

~Room Full of Mirrors : A Biography of Jimi Hendrix (Hardcover)

I'm working on a review of the new book "Room Full Of Mirrors" by Charles Cross. Its a biography about rock and roll legend Jimi Hendrix, and so far it's pretty good. I haven't read too many books on Jimi, and don't really know much about his life other than the music. I did know that he lived in my old hometown when he was younger. But that was about it. So far the book is ok, but I'm averaging about 3 pages a day. (What can I say, I'm busy) I will get around to a full review for you soon, but I'll hit you with this one ill fact about the Hendrix clan. One of his relatives had 6 fingers on each hand. I have to double check that so don't
quote me, but needless to say, the book is interesting.
Here's a little somethin' somethin' for ya'.

"Room Full Of Mirrors" Jimi Hendrix-Recorded Live, June 13, 1970, Baltimore, Maryland REAL 128K

btw...that's my birthday..seriously..I was also born in..DC!!! See why I love Hendrix,I heard dude from 50 blocks and a placenta away!
