Hey kids, what did we learn today?

I woke up and shortly after there was thunder. It sounded so foreign, I suppose because it is in the winter time. I took Sophie out the back, but after running five feet into the yard, she turned right back around and ran inside. She didn't want anything to do with the heavy rain and sleet. So we came back upstairs and I worked on my 'homework'.

( writing about my meditation practice )

And that is today's moment of zen. At least for me.

In Other News^TM, T-Boogie called me up yesterday and made me an offer I can't refuse. I'm DJing the LCCP ball, which isn't that groundbreaking or exciting in and of itself, but I will be the right-hand DJ for......MC Lyte. MC fckin' Lyte. MC 'Cold Rock a Party' Lyte. MC 'Paper Thin' Lyte. She's not performing at the event, she's just being essentially "the hype man", talking to the crowd, getting people to dance, calling out song requests, etc., but I'll be the guy behind the decks helping her out. (I think this is sort of similar to Meshell Ndegeocello's appearance last year, except she'll actually interact with the crowd.) I'm so excited about this that I've come completely full circle that I'm chill and calm. Or maybe I'm just nonplussed.

I'm getting a late start on my morning. I still need to cut my hair, do all the paperwork to mail off the journal copies, so I can head downtown to watch dommeyourass's closing arguments.
