LOG-BLOG

So last week I almost got taken by an internet scam.  I got an email from my buddy Justin that he had gotten robbed at gun point while on an impromptu visit to Europe and needed cash to get back home, which since he left Cali due to its ailing economy and would totally be the type of friend to do that type of thing, seemed pretty plausible.   Long story short, it was a scam.  But it almost got me.  And then there was an earthquake.  At some point in all that I guess I was forced to realize just how lucky I’ve been.  So what do you do when you get everything you could ever ask for?  Also I got busy.  In every sense of the word, lol.  Life has exploded and I’m just trying to ride the wave.  No seriously, as some friends like to joke I’ve now went from no job to like 6 jobs, lol.  But it’s good.  In fact it’s awesome.  Life is awesome and I am blessed.  Between kcrw, first fridays, afro-funke@zanzibar, a new job, gigs, and basketball I don’t have enough time anymore.  But it’s awesome!  I’m blessed.  Always have been.  I have some of the best family and friends.  I’m so fucking lucky!  Some people aren’t…

And I’m not trying to be a downer so as I as my close Haitian friend says, at least it’s getting the world to focus on Haiti for a minute and hopefully can be turned into a positive for the country in the long run.  And I think sometimes we get a bit self-absorbed here sometimes and I guess this really puts some of that in perspective.

So instead of sending anything to Justin

Send a little something their way…  You can figure out how you can do that best.

Oh yeah I got some events I’ll be at…

Oh shit, I’m already late for this first one, lol.
