ATLiens Running OKInawathons

How's it going? Today is a rainy rainy day, and I was listening to this CD that my friend gave me a while ago- Outkast's ATLiens instrumentals... of course the Elevators track is sick, and my personal favorite is the instrumental for Wheelz of Steel. The following poem came on top of the best classic beat though, ATLiens, number two... (I know my poetry sucks, but if you read it while listening to the instrumental, you'll only get bored of it halfway through instead of after reading one-third) Enjoy. Or make sure you have a sofa or bed nearby to throw your computer at after you get angry at yourself for reading such garbage. But enjoy that too.



Interesting
That no I'm not from the ATL
But rather I have the power in me to yell
That I come from Los Angeles County
You get more aware of that while living in a different country

It's likely
That most, many, or some of the people who we meet
In this Japanese nation or on an Okinawan street
Have only visions of movies and television
Cultural differences and a foreign vision
Allow me to perceive how I perceive
Not through any media except my own eyes
The information that I receive
The ways that people create both laughter and drawn out sighs
It's like good roasted pork meat
Like a timelessly marinated OutKast beat
It's all quite neat
and
Interesting.



I don't know about that sighs part.. what do you think?

Aaaanyway.....

It's good to know that my absentee ballot is either in the LA County Clerk's office or just a couple miles away now. Big day tomorrow. To be honest, I feel really American right now. Letss doo this!

Later y'allestikos
