April in Bushwick

La la la la. April Fool's. I'm staying here.

I just love Bushwick so much. In the McKibbin lofts there are glass entry doors. People are moving in - a new generation of hipsters who are able to mock their elders of two and three years ago. One of the repeated tags on the roof is "They exist. They gave me my iPad."

At 3rd Ward last night there were many attractive women at the Preyground exhibit. The art has a very animalistic feel and was filmed in different regions of our grand country. #Americuh.

And have the soote April raines yfallen. 

The Halsey Stop, Bushwick

Deep in the heart of Bushwick lies the Halsey stop. It is on the edge of three huge cemeteries: the Mt. Judah, the Trinity and the Knollwood Park. It is where gentrification has yet to spread. On Eldert St., where MTV is supposed to be going in a few months, for God knows what, is probably the new McKibbin lofts. Here, the folks are into partying, living cheaply or just plain being in the cut.

My homie Matt Cross lives here. He is a superb guitarist, but what sets him apart from the hundreds of other guitar-shredders is his lyrics. He would be the lovechild of Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, musically. 

So we were at his beautiful apartment/condo/dorm and we went to the third floor to see this dude named Rahul, who seems to be pretty cool and intelligent, due to the Financial Fortunes book that he had on his shelf, and the bottle of Medoc he was sipping, after the cork disintegrated and he had to push it into the bottle to pour some wine; and this huge black dude, who was probably six foot and weighed three hundred pounds, but had the highest sweetest falsetto, and who sweated profusely when he picked up and cradled a large-bottomed pink Zoo York-sweatpants-wearing girl in his lap. He asked me if I wanted to be his driver, since he couldn't drive after six 'o'clock after crashing into a schoolbus while picking up a spilled tube of Percosets.

Anyway, if you ever get a chance to go to the Halsey stop in Bushwick, do it. And check out Matt's next show.

Look Out Kid, Metrosexuals

Look out kid, it's something you did. A man in a coon skin cap wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten.

Look out kid, don't matter what you did.

Look out kid, you gon' get hit.

Look out kid, they keep it all hid.

Look out kid, you gon' get lit.

Look out kid, you gonna hit it big.

Look out kid, you're wearing sandals he's wearin flip-flops, walk forward, turn back look how his hips pop.

Look out kid, is it something you did?

Look out kid, you're gonna keep writing free verse Bob Dylan lyrics until someone turns his nose up and recognizes what's up.

Is  the term "metrosexual" passe? I wish I knew how to make accents in my typing strategy, but alas. We were talking about it in the (I've really wanted to link to) The McKibbin Lofts and couldn't decide. I think the incorporation of new "buzzwords" into the lexicon allows for fewer to be retained, and a more prevalent slang. So that if you wrote colloquially, it would become more difficult to read in a hundred years, and I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing. What do you think?
