jya

Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with, the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with, the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit

[Malik B]
Look God, I walk around a little edgy already
Y'all MC's come into my face, but my aim's steady
M-illitant is skilled in most strategic plan
I float across seas and, breezed across land
Standin, in these thoughts of murder within
The structure of this world that's corrupted with sin
I'm always hittin, to leave MC's guessin
For any transgression, in my perimeter
there will be a blessing, and your explicit intoxicated
buddha session, to stop stressin
me with the madness, puttin niggaz on my had list
No sadness is felt, you shuffled and your cards get dealt
Jim Carrey ass niggaz start to melt
Impact like a buckle bein swung from off a belt
Any help for shelter, when in the realms of a welter
My weight will tilt ya, hold alignments and change your filter
My attitude a product of society
So sometimes for gratitude, you know you can't rely on me
Niggaz eyein me, with looks of they anxiety
Wonderin what's in my heart, velocity or piety
Yo, it depends on which one, you bring to surface
At times I get trife, but what to worship is my purpose
Malik B blend with the tree, to spot an enemy
You cloggin me up cat, now vacant the vicinity

[Chorus]

[Malik B]
I'm symbolic to a ballot, it's Abdul Malik
Don't approach with bullshit, I'm quick to call it invalid
Route through your district, we keep it simplistic
No need for the rapper to talk, put it on halt
Show me the vault, or the safe, cause I'm on the paper chase
Wade through route states for bout thirty down my waist
I'm tryin to get it, these rain bottlin thoughts become acidic
With one in the chamber, ready to aim and spit it
A girlfriend and team made nigga cash just splintered
I take what you got to give, cause I got to live
The last hour, I bet your ass ?
Might act up, but I still can pass da'wah
I'm usin new ways to try to reach these better days
Instead of tryin to take you under I just make you wonder
I still fast, make Salaat, and pay Zakaat
I didn't make Hajj yet, but that's my next project
Livin two lives, one of turn and one with true lies
Keepin a ho, knowin these hands into my du'aa
In the quarters livin modest with my nigga Trotter
I circle my foes, like Tawaaf around the Ka'aba
I used to live life, like there was no manana
Now I'm treatin every breath, like it was your honor
I'm Mill-itill-itant with the Fifth that stand firm
like a pillar, I'm I and T-L like Manilla

Gotta clean my room, gotta inspection tomorrow morning, so sorta busy.. but needed to push the last post down somewhat :S

Anyway

"its an Asian thing".. more on that later..

Handed that essay in. Went to the latest "YAB Party" yesterday. interesting, except the commune of laughing girls who made me feel either inadequate or scared (or a mix of the two).. Went nomi ni iku with Ed ((whom I owe 20 pints for missin his birthday) n Katie (nice girl, apparently Alex's nemesis) afterwards, n "ichiban-san of Japanese Adv 1" Alex joined us later. Chilled little get together, but i had to get my fat ass over to Djembe drum circle at 7:30, so left abit early to get there. My reason: to get into the elite troupe of Oxford Djembe drummers! I've had 7 years of experience so I thought that was enough qualification to get praise for beating a drum, so went there, strutting my rhythmic stuff, hopin to get the go ahead...

and it paid off! I'm over at Dave's (drum workshop leader/djembe drumming guru) place tomorrow at 11 for the first of the esoteric sessions LOL.. (sure, there's Globalization n Democ at 1, but.. Trombetta's english is frickin appauling, and it wouldnt benefit me none so it wouldnt hurt me to miss another of those incomprehensible lectures!):D



After Djembe, I ran into Nathan (who sadly enough, we never get the chance to see enough, due to him commuting from Bournemouth every week), Grace n Rob, n a nice Chinese girl called Min-Jun (whom we bestowed the English name of "Leah" to)..went to Thirst n met up with Kalali (nice African-Latina girl, with the same of madness i have, so being one of those peeps who "click" with me.. but whose boyfriend gave me the evil eye half the night) and Jonas (who i dragged out at 12am form his weed-induced trance to get out n get pissed.. Grace called him "robot") Had a good night... until Grace forced us to walk all the way back to Headington.. ehh, i guess it had its good points: me, Grace n Min-jun enlightened Rob n Nathan bout the typical far-eastern mother's tendency to stick suppository tablets up their kids anuses the moment they suspected they had a cold, claiming its "good for health" (that's all i have to say on the subject).. unsavoury? repulsive? exotic? Consider Natto, Kimchi and Bagoong..

and in the words of Grace: "Its an Asian thing" - LMAOLMAO! Lord, I love Asia!

Music ni tsuite:


Rivermaya are a Filipino Alternative pop band: typical "love life" U2-esque music (personally i dont like their music but still!) They're gaining a following in quite a few Southeast Asian countries, just completing a successful tour in Singapore and named this year's number one band by MTV Asia. Strange, considering Asian countries seem obsessed with patriotic nationalism and geographic-neighbour belittling, despite all the ethnic and socio-cultural ties they may share. Another step in the way of a peaceful, happy-go-lucky pan-Asian state? Only time, the settlement of the currently heated Spratly & Paracel, Kurile and Takoshima/Dokdo and Senkaku/Diaoyu island international disputes... and Rivermaya, will tell...

Rivermaya - Posible
Sergio Mendez - Capoeira Do Brasil

PORN! (according to this funny song that Karlie keeps playing! and not Matt too! LOL)


I'm sure we all do.. respectively of course.. :)

Doin an essay in Japanese for Monday on "Intaanetto no shiyou ni tsuite" or "on the use of the Internet (dot dot dot)". 4 Genkou Youshi's worth and i'm only on 2 1/2 at the mo. To add on top of all this wonderful bullshitty banana split, i have my West African Dad (think Mr Eko) comin to visit tomorrow with my younger sis and my (other) Mother, who is coming to cook all sorts of West African delicacies for me! Ecstatic! except that my room reeks of ganja and i have a whole load of dirty laundry and dishes to do by approximately 1300 hrs today... FUCK!

oh btw, i gotta new PSP (shoot me its already been 2 years since its been out but who gives a fackachta?.. besides, its worth it when you have GTA, Metal Gear Acid, Midnight Club 3, Ridge Racer, Dead to Reckoning and Burnout legends bundled in with it... skame foo!)

and, for all Nintendo fans: DS Sux imo!


OWNED!

RIP Great Touré!

Happy NewYear 2006

あけましておめでとうございます!

(Belated by about 2 months now, so? :P what you want? a medal celebrating your own self-disgust and procastinated dreams of better days ahead??.... oops, i believe I may have won that already.. ph well LOL)

That's Japanese for "long time, eh" - used by old Japanese women when starting a long round of useless small talk: which weblogin is all about, "ne"? LOL

This is something i read on the Philippine subforum of Skyscrapercity.com (I wanted to be an architect/urban planner before my dreams were crushed by dear papa).

January 12, 2006. Vandalized with spray paint: "Madamba, u will pay 4 d killing of the tree... This is war!! overpass ur ass. - mountain militants". (Madamba is the name of the congressman)

have you noticed how much pre 20th century novels' English suck big time.. talk about stringing your yarns!

Read my example and see:
Tatoeba:

"I tell thee, blasphemy methinks hath befallen a tragic end for one, whom i considered the pleasure of duly bequiting four summers past, but hath done again, in such unorderly and immoral measures a bene placito, the most befouling of human carnal dissident desires (may I add was executed before the eyes of my very own, who were indelibly marked as an inevitable consequence following such actions) and hath seemd to find pleasure in't, how the very nature of the human demeanor hath taken a tour en arrière, and eo ipso hath completely disregard for the filial and moral notions which ab aeterno were the mark of distinction in invention of our forefathers taken coram populo et contra mundum, one really must term these events as nothing more than tasse de merde noire ferme de chat"

sorta pissed off... abluh
me sleepy... abluh
gotta leave early tomorrow... abluh
so i'll stop writing...



...
(abluh)

yawn... sleepy. slept through yesterday's Methodology of Foreign Language Teaching Lecture, with mr_drum desperately trying to get my eyes open to spare me the wrath of FIONA but i couldn't... afterwards they all went drinkin and i FELL ASLEEP IN THE PHONEBOX DIALLING JONAS' NUMBER! after that i declared me to have some rest so i cam ehome..

when i got home however, i realised that the next day (which would been yesterday) was the day when our landlord INSPECTED the place. seeing as smoking anywhere in the house was forbidden and my room stank of stale tobacco and was FULL of washing, i took it upon myself to stay up MOST OF THE NIGHT to get it done... when light came i wてas on my last legs.. but i realised that i needed to clean the kitchen after i messed around in there the day before so i had to do that (*breath*) and then when i thought i could get at least 30 mins rest i realised all the laundry had to be hung up to dry, so there i was runnin up n down the stairs checkin the weather for the day and then proceeding to hang all the load up in the garden... then the dodgy inspecting bastard 7\/\/&7 and all things mean n nasty landlord came!....

it was FINE! i didnt get cruxix or sumthing.. only after then did i realise it was the OBJS fubar night out... and i promised to come! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! after then it went blank and i realised i was asleep somewhere in my room and by instinct got myself out of the garden, indoors, locked the garden door ensuring no intruders would enter, close the french doors, walk up the stairs, into my room and climbed into bed (which i would've had to change since the covers smelt of tobac).. i was quite unnerved by that... and what's more i believe i may've been on the phone to Jonas too... magicalcow's a h00r for that entry.. and so is britishchris for responding like that :p :P LMAO... how was FUBAR chris-kun? 疲れすぎて寝ていったから、行かなかったの方がいいだろう。行ったら多分寝たそうだから。ご免、皆さん。

thought i'd express that on here

(how sad..)

anyway.. back to my special thing i came online to do/see/whatever

(and NO! its NOT porn!!!)

Now death calls me...

"animnida.. animnida...
aniyo! aniyo!
cheori kaseyo!

eee! towajuseyo! doktuh uhtee upsuhyo?? manjeejeemarr!"

A few lyrics

Don't forget me
Bring me down
Don't let me promise you
Things I cannot do
This infection adds to my collection
Hoard my pain
And show it to you one day
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
And it fills my mind with thoughts so fine
Don't ask too much of me

Heal me now, heal me now
Heal me now, heal me now

Don't erase me
Cut me out replace me
I'm still here
I'm not going anywhere
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
Let it free what ever's locked inside
Don't ask too much of me

Heal me now, heal me now
Heal me now, heal me now


plus a pic of moi:

(Heal - Bic Runga)

ohhh! i want to redesisgn my page.. here is what i gave as a free preview to magicalcow.. :)





what bout it?

"Ain't got no quarrel with her (serenity) purticular, i juss love seein her flyin all true 'n such! yahoo yeeehaa!"

bored.. not well again... gotta go somewhere soon... will expound later..
but now i present to you:

COUNTRIES I'D LIKE TO VISIT:



create your own visited countries map

Few things, i did...

Watched Serenity with Jonas, who looked like Mal with his cowboy belt thing. Good film, but i didnt like the power they gave to Simon! plus River is a pseudo-matrix protagonist but isnt..

Anyway all i got to say is
"She's banged up, but she'll fly true"

(if you're readin this Jonas let me reply to ur txt with "Shiina Ringo: HELL YEAH" me no credit!)
and humour you with your 20 yr future self!



and btw that's a compliment!
who wouldnt want to be the swashbuckling futuristic space. cowboy.. captain... person?.... ?
well.. you get the exotic legalized whore, so dont think about writing me some hatemail:

talkin about hatemail: people go read the Maddox stuff!
Read and pee... laughing.. Also, smoked shishaaa! Was good!

No internet at home.. me now annoyed.. but news that the newest ipod is on sale online... may order one, even if i will be penniless by the end of the week!

La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d'azur
Infinie

La Merde...

here at brookes again.. bored, boring. first day of Ramadan tomorrow, so gettin this done asap.. no food for the fat boi :(

Anywayz, went down the Jazz Night at Bullingdon with Hiromi, Simon and some mates of hers from the 7pm ending lecture on methodology of foreign language teaching (that didnt make sense right?.. ?)

anywayz, relaxed, and chilled, dont wanna do the walk home... but need to: life can sux at times!

i now have paid account: yey!

btw the new pic on my LJ thingy has something to do with how my mum always used to inch the rice bowl nearer as a child with the simple words of "con-sume" uttered in a slightly soft but nonetheless strict and heartless way.. a simple "eat up" would've sufficed, but the fact that she came out with nothin but "consume" was too much of a mental trauma for me... so i now transferred my mummy issues to Sun of Lost, who i endow with the title motto of death! :s magicalcow don't consume me, i forgot who told me old businessmen in Asia are into eating porn fetish.. :s

Anyway, me hungry so goin to eat then goin to home.. Heres the pic to gaul at forevermore (just incase i was too mentally disturbed to keep the pic on LJ and replaced it with the "kate slag" pic..:



Bought Kingdom of Heaven the other day. Orlando Bloom isn't as bloomy as i thought he'd be in the film.. being an elf in LOTR n all..




anyway

"consume"
