I’m having trouble keeping up the blog. My work situation involves writing at a computer all day and with the persistent migraines still in full effect, any free time I have is spent getting away. But my feeling is this: it’s just a blog. I’ll come and go as I please, use nonsensical titles, post informal tangents without media, and you’ll like it. Ha!

Erykah Badu- Jump Up In The Air And Stay There f. Lil Wayne & Bilal via the Dope Boyz
Although I should be posting all the things I’ve missed, I can’t help it… I’m only posting because Erykah Badu’s single came out. The song is called “Jump in the Air (And Stay There)” and it features Lil Wayne and Bilal. I knew New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh was coming but didn’t expect so soon- March 30th. The tracklist looks f#cking awesome, including Madlib collaborations. I’m definitely ready to hear some Madu.
I love Erykah Badu for so many reasons, as we all do, but one my main reasons is her writing, her lyrics. And this song gives me the idea of lucid dreaming, which is another obsession for me. There are tricks to train yourself to recognize certain dream signs, and if you can train yourself to stay in that dream in those moments, you can then proceed to do whatever the f#ck you want. You know what I’m saying – it rocks. If you don’t know what I’m saying, as Scholar would say, “dig deeper“.
One of the many tricks I use for Lucid Dreaming involves jumping in the air and attempting to linger, just for a second. You have to do it when you’re awake too, so it becomes a habit, then you start doing it in your dreams. This means you might make an ass of yourself in public jumping in the air and trying to hover. But not me, I live in New York.
The trick worked; it gave me lots of lucid dreams, and it was pretty great. I’ve never been in a anti-gravity machine, but I’m sure I know what it feels like to be weightless. In one dream I ran through an endless field of grass, and I decided while running to try to “take off” or fly. And it worked, kind of like the wind picked me up and carried me away.
