Thanks for the assist/tribute at the end of HBO’s Entourage’s season premiere, this weeks’ Quotable goes Gangstarr featuring Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck “Above The Clouds.”

“It has come to our attention that a mysterious force is LOOSE..
somewhere in outer space.”

“The mysteries of creation are there.”

“Up in the sky?” “Up in the sky.”

“The moon and the planets are there.
And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.
And therefore as we set sail; we ask God`s blessing —
on the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure
of which man has ever embarked.” –> John F. Kennedy

“Prepared for liftoff.”

[Guru]
I self Lord and Master shall bring disaster to evil factors
Demonic chapters, shall be captured by Kings Continue reading →

Fave Poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll

Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll, Through The Looking Glass

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree.
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came wiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

Blue Lines Blog – Issue Conversations…Names…Titles.

Björk, blog, Blue Hurt, Blue Lines, California, inspiration, Joga, Key Yemaya Walker, manuscript, music, My Love, Seattle, Sia, UNC Chapel Hill, When We Were Babies

This last week has been phone week…and I always think I have all the answers…
Like normal, I start with a basic idea, and then events, music, whatever manifest into something that changes the focus of the post. Today was almost a 2 post day, but then I took a moment to look, and notice that it is quicKey Yemaya Walker approaching the 1 year mark of starting this blog, which’s primary objective is to aid in the eventual publishing of my currently titled manuscript Blue Lines.
During what is almost one year, maybe I’ll save that as the anniversary post…focused on current thoughts, in speaking to my dearest friend last night (thank goodness for no long distance charges on cell phones) I forgot to iterate my thoughts on a possible serialization of Blue Lines. Possibly splitting and expanding the novel into four books that play upon the four seasons on my characters’ relationship development. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Continue reading →

Get up a dime spot and then I’m off to the dread section
Roots hit me off lovely
Comin out the spot I had to duck because a n—a tried to buck me

Musical Inspiration Sia – “My Love”

Blue Lines, My Love, Sia, Starbucks

Yes, I know today is Hip-Hop Quotable Wednesday’s…you’ll get your fix, but I was floored by this, and thus I must share. I stumbled across this song waiting for my coffee today in Starbucks. This songs just “get’s it,” literally it get’s it. It is amazing to me. Lyrics, construction, everything. I really feel that if Blue Lines were a song, this would be it, in more ways than one.

Sia – “My Love”

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all, into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us
