The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 16,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

[Verse 1]
[Noreaga]
Got out the mall yo
This weeded cat rockin a fade
In my face askin can he see the grenade
I woulda let him see it
The way he came across yo I said nah, beat it
Steph told me buck him
When I reacted Will said chill f–k him
Yo it’ a small world ya know that we’ll see him again
He said f–k you
I said what, repeat it again

[Nas]
Chill son you’e weeded again
Slow down god you’re speedin again
Face lookin like you’re fiendin for Hen
Who that wit you, hide the gat yo n—a come here
You got a pistol that must mean you slingin again

[Noreaga]
Hey yo f–k it yo, I bucked him son
Cause he was on some stupid s–t
Thinking he the real thing
When he was just a duplicate
Saying that he hate our clique
Hate our s–t
Hate the Firm album and the CNN clique
He said he hate you and wish you ain’t have a six
He had coliseum jewelry no Tito tricks

Text Tuesdays – New Prose – “Close”

Though extremely hard to compose, my heart led me to, to memorialize a loss. My heart is with you my friend.

“Close”
KS 12/17/13

Closing her eyes memories of,
Love,
Loss,
Childhood,
Soft,
Touch,
First kiss,
Marriage,
Childbirth,
Motherhood,

…saturated the darkness of her closed lids,
She peered again, and thought of the good she had done,
Her mark left in the snow,
Though she did not want, she had to go,
Leaving those she loved,
She treasured the fleeting moments of this world,
And slowly conceded to close.
