Shave and a Haircut

The beginning of Kendrick Lamar’s music video for Not Like Us shows us someone (presumably KDot himself) knocking on the door of a room at the end of a dark hallway. He uses the very well known old-school knock tune of “Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits.” 

It’s a brilliant music video, from a brilliant artist. I had tickets to see him perform a few weeks ago in Sydney and was SO looking forward to it but decided not to go .. didn’t trust myself. 

Out of all the peoples trust I’ve broken these past hideous years, it’s my own that I’m focusing most on re-building. I have faith I’ll get there .. and I have faith I’ll see Kendrick in concert one day in the future. 

I believe I have a future. Fancy that!

… a woman woke up halfway through her life and thought “I gotta do something, about where we’re going.” So she did. If all roads lead to Rome, then Rome leads to all roads. Haven’t even thought of a title yet but that’s cool, there’s something to be said for starting before you’re ready especially when there’s a lot to be said. (ESPECIALLY when you’re back from the dead) Ugh I’m rusty at writing sorry .. hey Computer lets channel Picard: “Computer, set a course for home.” “Rome?” “No .. Home.” Fifty-fucken-three years old and I still have no idea what I’m doing. But I’m still here and so are you and if you don’t think that’s magical then let’s make it so.
