Memeage - an invitation

[drwex]

Taken with encouragement from desert_born:

You are invited to discard assumptions about what I like, what I want, who I am, or what I expect from you. If you find it comfortable, have a different conversation with me than you usually do - talk to me about unexpected things. You can do this here or in person.

And now I offer you a rap couplet that caused me to laugh out loud:
"I got nothin' you can hold
I'm a figure-skater's tube top"
-- DJ Format, "Another One of Those Songs"

DJ Format is probably the best rap DJ around, although the vocals by Abdominal are what really make it for me.

If you have other tracks by him I'd be interested in listening; so far I just have one or two that Pandora has pulled in.

Here are some videos from his first album:

We Know Something You Don't Know with Charlie TunaFish (from Jurassic 5)

The Hit Song with Abdominal.

Vicious Battle Raps with Abdominal -- probably my favorite of the bunch.

Sigh. Browser suck, plug-ins suck. On Firefox that hangs the page - I think it's because he's using an ActiveX control. When I try in IE I get the quicktime logo with a big question mark in the middle.

Hm. As I said to her in the same context:
Well, OK, insofar as I can.
So: tell me about yourself!

[drwex]

yes, I saw your comment and while I think it's appropriate there, possibly, it's not what I'm aiming at. I talk about myself enough and don't really want more excuses to do so. What I think I'm aiming for is an openness to new kinds of possibilities and interactions with my friends.

I'm exhausted from days of being sick, and then going to a show in Denver last night...so my brain is not so into deep thinking right now...but I will think on this when my brain is working again and email you!

[drwex]

Feel better soon, babe.

Nothing deep here, but I have a tendency to lump you in with the "arrogant geeks," which does limit how I would talk with you. But please know that I'm fully aware that there's much more to you than the stereotype holds...

[drwex]

Thank you.

i think your brain and my brain could have some interesting conversations, if ever they were in the same place at the same time.

i like people who think, and who aren't afraid to express an (informed) opinion. you seem to fit both those categories.

and i like your hair.

[drwex]

Thank you. I seem to recall we had a few interesting conversations, back in the day.
