hehe, i'm gonna rap for ya tonight, check it BIAAA!

i'm kickin it freestyle tonight.  you know you like it cause i'm doin it all just right.  you're feelin my words roll across the small of your back.  you're feelin my fist makin contact.  attacked, lyrically smacked, my beats poundin in your head, don't you feel it crack.  mentally frayed i've been played over and over again, i'm a worn out record in the clearance bin.  but my tongue is still fresh still shootin daggers....more like lead.  i'll pierce your vest with my best.  cut through your chest and make your heart beat........................stop.  rewind, play it all back again, no beat this time it's all pen.  listen to the words marching up the hill, you're standin still, i shoot to kill, my mouth firing when i see the whites of your lies.  don't even try, sorry won't cut it this time.  you've already done enough of that, so shut up and take the knife out of my back.  i don't slack, you think i'm fading.  this is my game, my game face on, and i'm not playing.  don't ever say you knew

What's on your "do before I die" list?

Well first of all, let me say that I think that this is a semi-morbid way of looking at things.  Now I know that I'm just arguing over semantics, but I would feel much more comfortable if this question were posed as "What's on your 'while I'm living' list?"  Next I'd like to offer up this disclaimer:  All items in this list are ideas and desires formulated by Scott Blair in 2007 and are subject to change over the course of his life, this list in no way limits Scott Blair, and the absence of any other idea or desire does not exclude its later addition to this list.  Okay, so now that that is out of the way, let's get down to business.  While I'm alive I want to have something published, record some music and be proud of it, play music for people again, dance with no reservations, fall in a love so deep that i'll never get out of it, ride a tortoise, influence someones life in a good way, watch Hawk The Destroyer and Rock N' Roll Nightmare and be amazed, make someone a kick-anus mix tape, party around a bon-fire, sit on a rooftop with someone and watch the stars, camp out in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey and look for the Jersey Devil, take a chance and just kiss the girl, go sailing, sleep on a bench, drive across country again and travel as much as I can, beat Ninja Gaiden (I and II), get past the van part in the first TMNT video game, figure out what is going on in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, really mean something to someone, and just plain be happy....

Dear Friend,

    I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower today.  I’m not so sure that it was an amazing book or anything completely original – although nowadays what is? – but a lot of things in the story really hit hard.  I feel like maybe I should restate that sentence.  This book was a great, white cloud.  What I mean by this is that in its general form it resembles every other cloud, but when you look really closely, right along the edges, the little details make it stand out from the rest.  I can’t say that the book was a completely new story or anything like that; when I got to the end I felt like I had heard/seen/read this story before, but in this case the filler was fantastic.  This was one of those goldfoil clouds that the sun outlines with its bright rays.  I’m struggling to keep myself from starting the book over again.  Gosh it was really good.  So yes, I highly recommend this book to you if you haven’t read it.  And I sincerely thank Kelie for getting it for me, it’s probably one of the best Christmas presents I’ve ever been given.  Right up there next to the picture that my brother gave me of us when we were little with the note “to Scott, the best brother anyone could ask for! Thanks! – John C.” tucked in under the glass of the frame with it.  Anyway, I’ve just been thinking about this book non-stop since I started it and I needed to say something about it somewhere to someone and so this seemed like the logical thing to do.  I think I’m going to go now though cause it’s late and I want to fall asleep thinking about falling in love and having things work out the way they should.  Things do work out the way they should.  And the filler does matter, in fact the filler may be the most important part, cause we’re all in the same basic story, it’s only right around the edges that you can tell us apart.  I feel like that is an amazing and strong feeling, that we are all so close to each other.  It may come across as a sad thing, thinking that we’re all so alike, but just look at the clouds.  And I bet you won’t even be able to pick out a favorite, because they’re all so beautiful in different ways.

oh, and p.s. – I also think it’s amazing how everything in this life is related.  I am so struck by the fact that I can use the same metaphor of clouds to talk about books or people or days or lives or situations or relationships or candy.  Haha, I feel like Dustin Hoffman in I <3 Huckabees, “Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe, okay? This is me, this is you, and over here, this is the Eiffel Tower, right, it's Paris!”  It’s all the blanket.

Love always,
Scott
