look around you, you're surrounded

boom. for real...

vajazzled! and you'd be glad you weren't on acid...

danger man [4:04 PM]: you are the only one I can ask about this

how do you feel about vajazzling?

ishmael [4:06 PM]: ok, this is new to me and i think you are about to teach me something

danger man [4:06 PM]: well then

you know what a bedazzler is

rhinestones on your jean jacket

this would be decorating and accessorizing with stick-on jewels or henna tattoo things or otherwise fancying up the lady parts

ishmael [4:08 PM]: i'd be okay with henna

the jewels would just scuff up my face

danger man [4:08 PM]: I heard about it a few months ago and it's come up in more mainstream recently

ishmael [4:08 PM]: that is bizarre

danger man [4:09 PM]: I want to find a link but I don't dare do it on my work computer

maybe look it up on your crackberry

ishmael [4:13 PM]: i think i'm good

danger man [4:14 PM]: you have an imagination

ishmael [4:14 PM]: the pretty lady agreed to let me draw on her, so maybe that's sort of the ishmael hipster version

danger man [4:16 PM]: i suppose so

fingerpaint

ishmael [4:17 PM]: oh that's an amazing idea!!!!

on a related but completely innocent note:' brothersport' by a band named animal collective

it's one of the happiest music videos i have ever ever seen

and the song is awwwwwwwwsuuuuuuum

danger man [4:19 PM]: I've never done drugs before

but this is about what I imagine

ishmael [4:21 PM]: its a flashback and a half

danger man [4:21 PM]: at least

if this is innocent and happy for you I will never again doubt your wildness and ability to shock

ishmael [4:27 PM]: ahahahahaha, never doubt my ability to shock heh?

danger man [4:27 PM]: nope

there are lots of things in the world I don't want to see or know

ishmael [4:28 PM]: i wanna see and know everything

danger man [4:28 PM]: wow I sure don't

I know I can't know everything

my time is limited and I can only fit so much in my life and my head

no point in freaking it out

ishmael [4:30 PM]: i was freaked out by 5 so i figure a little overload ain't gonna knock anything new loose

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumday! you will get the best of me and! suuuuuuuuuuuuuumday! maybe when! i'm! old! and grey! i'll sing into your voicemail

ishmael [5:08 PM]: i left you a voicemail. it's important.

guns [5:47 PM]: !!!!!

I got all misty eyed

not gonna lie

made my day

ishmael [5:47 PM]: really???



guns [5:48 PM]: mmmmhhhmmmm. I would have laughed and cried simultaneously if there weren't ppl around

ishmael [5:48 PM]: i'm hollering away on the balcony and people are looking at me like i am crazy but i didn't care

guns [5:48 PM]: they are clearly jealous

ishmael [5:48 PM]: i was like ' you know what guns needs? some voicemail'

i was so happy you didn't pick up

hopefully i did the tune some justice

guns [5:50 PM]: you certainly did

I was like 'wtf- why is jerkface calling me?'

ishmael [5:50 PM]: AHAHAHA

guns [5:50 PM]: it was a great surprise

ishmael [5:50 PM]:

good

cept i messed up the second verse!

guns [5:52 PM]: I laughed at that

'fuck, I messed it up'

it was still amazing

ishmael [5:53 PM]: couer

sunshine!

genius, in the form of pants.

boom. for real...

quoting from a smog album, but you've never heard it anyway....

ishmael [9:56 PM]: praise whatcho gotta praise to - jah love. rasta manana'

you know who bob marley is right?

danger man [9:58 PM]: yes

old reggae guy

ishmael [9:58 PM]: you ever heard ' no woman no cry?'

' i remember, when we used to sing....in the gov't yard in trenchtown!'

danger man [9:58 PM]: the phrase doesn't jump out at me

ishmael [9:59 PM]: i was trying to explain to what a certain song was the other day... but at least he could hear me sing it

he didn't know the song i was referring to either, but he was pretty pleased that someone sang to him

i guess that doesn't happen a lot to people?

danger man [10:00 PM]: singing in the park

aww so sweet

ishmael [10:00 PM]: i sing out loud all the time

danger man [10:00 PM]: almost like a normal couple

ishmael [10:00 PM]: yeah the more you find out about him yer gonna realize he's not normal at all

danger man [10:00 PM]: well, #1 he's "dating" you

ishmael [10:01 PM]: no, 'seeing'

danger man [10:01 PM]: getting a good look at

ishmael [10:01 PM]: acceptable

proceed

danger man [10:02 PM]: that's it

nothing more needed

ishmael [10:02 PM]: that is what 'normal' is constituted of?

danger man [10:02 PM]: if he's 'seeing' you, he's gotta be at least mostly weird

no, I was just thinking of you walking in the park together like the old couple I saw on the path at confederation park yesterday

but you are just the impression of a normal couple

you have a crazy wacky cream filling

ishmael [10:04 PM]: that's the nicest thing i've heard all day. thank you danger man.

danger man [10:04 PM]: and a punky camndy coating

and we'll even leave the misspelling in there

ishmael [10:04 PM]: yeah, my new haircut is mos def new york circa 1979

danger man [10:04 PM]: makes it even better

also, bicycles of questionable origin?

boom. for real...
