Dave Chappelle - Stand Up - 1993
Damn Dude Wattstax keeps making me want to cry and shit
the "I am Somebody" anthem was so fucking powerful I got teary-eyed
rn I'm fucking mind blown this was some of the realest shit I've ever heard in my life:
"But pimp, that's wide; you know, anybody that use somebody else to gain; is pimpin"
"But, I'ma tell you what soul brotha can't looky here can't nobody pimp you but your pimp ass self, you understand"
It felt really cool to go on that walk this morning
We all had such a good time
I hadn't taken film pictures in what feels like forever
It's probably been months
It's kind of funny that everyone treats my dog like he's my kid
Fallacy
Just because everyone's doing it, it doesn't make it okay.
I'm on the phone wt Robert right now and I think it's crazy how much lighter I feel even though the conversation was so heavy
I think when people are sharing similar struggles it's easy to see things from a different perspective
Everything is subjective
When there's not proper communication you have miscommunication
I need to better communicate my feelings; so that lines are clearly drawn so I don't lose control of my feelings.
Lmfao "I didn't know how much of a hater she was"
I miss sister and my Dad
I wish I had been able to spend more time to hang out with them
I can't believe my dad was just going to throw away those film prints
I thought they looked cool as fuck

Had to put my phone in rice. I hope it works by tomorrow it would really fucking suck to have to buy a new phone
I'm all sad that I made enough money to go see Chicano Batman and the fucking tickets are sold out
Glad I got to hang out with the kids I missed them
we had a good time just wandering around doing nothing/singing all loud and horribly in the car
My sister got me this really cute beanie I can't wait to wear it!
I think my dad was lowkey asshurt that we left but I hadn't seen the kids in forever
anyways they're not leaving til Sunday so we still have time to chill
I haven't stopped listening to that playlist
especially The Oogum Boogum Song
It fills my heart with happiness
I've been wanting to go see a movie so badly!
Yesterday I even contemplated watching Back to the Future at the Fox theatre by myself
But I looked like shit so I had an awesome time with Kacey and Paul, Kari Marc and Markesha came too
Having dinner plans makes me remember that I'm an adult
Then when we actually get together I realize how immature we all are and it makes me feel young again
