And clearly neither do i, let's see it is now 2:56am and i am still awake. I could've sworn these late nights were gone and non-existent but i guess i was wrong. So lets look at a few things in the above picture that kept me awake this evening. So my BlackBerry of course is always a distraction, it doesn't really go off as much as it used to but even without it ringing from annoying phone calls or useless text messages; i find myself always playing with it somehow. When i wasn't playing with my phone, i was on the computer. I checked out the usual blogs and websites that i do which pretty much consist of Kanye West Blog Site, NBA.com, Hypebeast.com, FlightClub.com, FaceBook.Com, CNN.com, and a few other sites that i can't remember at the moment. After surfing the internet for an hour or so i decided to read some books, no these are not the books im reading at the moment, they're just books that i usually read excerpts from. I then attempted to go to sleep, i went to my bed and put on Reasonable Doubt and we all know how that went, anyone that knows hiphop well knows this CD is impossible to listen to just once. Every song is almost considered a classic, sometimes you have to re-listen to half the shit this dude says because it's hard to believe someone had this much hunger in 1996. When that didn't work i attempted to make make myself drowsy by watching a dvd, so i walked over to my couch and put on Belly. I must say, it's pretty hard to go to sleep when Nas and Dmx our letting their clickity-clack go off every two seconds while Method Man is surrounded by about 24 of Queen's Finest threatening to kill T-Boz. So as you could see, i am very easily distracted, and as you could probably already tell i'm still awake blogging to all you fine people of the world wide web.
Another little thing that was keeping me awake was the Presidential Inauguration 2009. It's really funny how different broadcast have their take on the whole situation. CNN kept things pretty professional and strictly political, MTV of course cracked their jokes and in my opinion made a mockery of the entire celebration. I just pretty much got a vibe or feeling from the host that they were simply just showing us what was going down and they didn't really give a fuck, they seemed not so informed or as knowledgeable as the other shows. BET, well you can just imagine how excited they were. They had Nick Cannon hosting the celebration, who for some reason is still speaking with 2000-2001 slang which made things really difficult to understand. So getting feedback and highlights from different Stations pretty much gave me all the information i needed about the entire celebration and the messege was crystal clear, short and simple : Change is Coming
Being from Canada, one might think we shouldn't concern ourselves too much with what goes on with our big brothers over there but you would be surprised at how much of their decisions and changes actually effect us. I can speak on this for the rest of the night and how i see things and my views and two cents and what not, but the main purpose of this blog was to explain why i couldn't sleep; so talking about politics at 3:00am wouldnt exactly help. So keep posted for my unofficial blunt and straight forward take on Mr.President. I have alot to say about that so check back soon.
Back to the topic at hand, i know what i have to do to go to sleep. I'm going to go to my kitchen, make some tea, Grab my book and read upstairs. That should put me to sleep, and if that doesn't work i'm pulling an all nighter -
