Before I get too sidetracked with my own Black Bullshit I just wanted to give a shout to my favorite baseball played alongside HENRY AARON. 2007 marks the 60th anniversary of JACKIE ROBINSON’s re-intergrating the Major Leagues of professional baseball.
There are all kinds of connotations and ramifications that this action caused and I will explore them more deeply during the upcoming baseball season, but for now, inside of Black History Month I will simply say thank you to the man. JACKIE ROBINSON was more hardbody then some of us might believe. Real recognize real here at DP Dot Com.
My homey on the internets RAFI KAM just turned thirty years old. The poor dude is wildly stressed out because he thinks that means something other than the fact that he is thirty years old. Dude has plenty of time to do something with his life. Unlike myself, who will be turning forty shortly. I should just go kill myself.
There’s still enough time to party and live life. The BUSH administration’s damage to the U.S. economic system won’t rear it’s ugly head for another five years at least. Don’t worry, be happy. Do me a favor and go visit Oh Word and drop ol’ boy a line. Tell him he’s one of the cool older people.
The good times on other people’s dimes doesn’t stop for me and the Rafinator. One of the keys to doing your thing at Sundance is believing that you belong here.
“I wear my sunglasses at night.”
I’ve always masked my inferiority complex with a superiority complex. That’s what makes me fit in perfectly with these shallow Hollywood types. That and the fact that I made my own press credential at home. I can’t be stopped.
RAFI has been putting in work himself. He spotted HAMMER and NELSON GEORGE and set up the interviews. Neither of us has been bullshitting over here and I think our dedication to our grizzly is starting to ring bells.
When I come back to the eastside I will have a gang of rap for y’all. I learned a lot of shit by talking to other filmmakers and content creators that came through Sundance. The biggest lesson I take from here is one that I already knew. I might be here in Park City, Utah but I didn’t get here by myself. It wasn’t even the cats that paid for my hotel, plane and per diem that put me in this town. It was you right there on the other side of the monitor.
Since before we had the website up and running and we were doing e-mail blasts about all the same bullshit you were right there. TAM, I see you out there. BILLY, NADIRA, DUANE, ALI, MIKE, ARG… Too many of y’all to name. Y’all sent me here. Y’all made me an ‘Internets Celebrity’.
Episode Three is on the web. We call it ‘Celeb Status’. Me and RAFI get at the local Park City residents and try to find out what the Sundance festival means to them. check it out.
