drop it like it's hot

just to say i'm alive and well. blogging sucks the life right outta me and i don't feel inspired or obligated to ponder anything or pander to anyone. but i do like the idea i have a page to scribble garbage on.

thus, i need to change the name from citiZENMINDful to something else. i will think about it and consult my maroon area rug in my "living room" (i am in a studio apartment in nyc and there really is no living room, just a designated space that is for my couch and coffee table) for better ideas. i will continue to "simply be simple" cus that's what i am, simple. i don't even like capitalizing the first letter in a sentence or of proper nouns as i am simple... actually this is termed being lazy or even being negligent. but that's okay, cus we're human and we should focus on the things that are more important to survival of the galaxy. yup, go beyond that idea of humans, the environment, mother earth, etc. we need to consider it all because our very composition is based on all of that. so, if we don't take care of the bigger picture, our smaller picture (day-to-day living) will follow suit.. no matter how much we try to keep it tidy.

oh yeah, VLOG will come someday.... i promise.

hahahaha, i love FAITH NO MORE. here's the "gentle art of making enemies" cus that's what we're all so good at doing

jus sayin

yo, yo, yo!!!! jus dropping by to say wassssssssup to all my blog buddies who i've lost touch with. hope all is well.

what else can i say?

i'm working like a slave, playing music in my spare time, eating right, working out, working the women, sometimes i sleep well, but usually not, and read for mental nutrients.

oh yeah, don't forget the world domination. that's been coming along well. soon my candidate for the 2008 election will win (because i control this entire shenanigan) and he (nope, not hillary) will carry out my biddings. muhahahahaaa.... muhahahhaaaaaaa!! ;)

other than that, life is good, as it should be. i will be posting a vlog sometime in the near future.... i'm obliterating this stupid, anonymous blog isht.

see y'all soon :) actually, no, you'll all see ME soon.

it's the most wonderful time

to all my friends, family, blogamiliy, and the rest, here's wishing you peace, love, joy, health, and prosperity for another year to come :)

Hey? Where's Raffi?

I heard through a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-cousin-of-his-step-sister-of-a-nanny-of-a-butler who begot my bentley-dealer that Raffi didn't enjoy blogging too much anymore. He didn't really say much though. I think he's gonna blow citiZENMINDful outta of the water or something. That sure'd be hot. But, I'm not sure and I hope he'll make it more clear.

Anyways, ta-ta. I need to get my mani/pedicure done so I can look HAWT as usual.

cibo matto

cibo matto is an eclectic and cutting edge japanese duo from new york city. their name can be interpreted in italian as "crazy food" and more loosely as "all foods"... sorta like the buffet-style, musical sampler they serve on their albums. "outside the box" is simply an understatement, if not rude. unfortunately, they split the scene in 2001, and embarked on their own separate artistic journeys (which has led to many amazing pieces). but whatever their individual fates, after i dusted off this cd the other day, i re-experienced their magic which remains innovative, ingenious, and impeccable. i always enjoy sharing ideas for aural attacks (like the internet radio links on my right side-bar... netmusique especially flaresound i love). please feel free to share your musical indulgences with me :)

here's "king of silence" off their 'stereo type A' album (cover pictured above) with their lyrics ~ i'll leave it to you to feeeeeel out their style and sound.

KING OF SILENCE
I can take your pain away if you tear down your fortress of memory I can take your pain away, you don't always need to be strong I can take your pain away, I know we wear different shoes I can take your pain away, barefoot we will tear the truth You are the king of silence You don't need one word to talk to me All I know is we have sympathy Close your eyes and lean your head on me I can take your pain away if you find a remedy in me I can take your pain away you can take as much as you want from me I can take your pain away we have a distance between us I can take your pain away every time we can find the clue

YOU KILLED ME ~ i've also included the clever, dreamy, split-screen video to a song you may have heard called "sugar water". i remember this song from college radio... good ol' days... good stuff. enjoy :)
