Road Trip Rob

I can’t stand the radio. “Hot 97.5 in the mix with today’s top tracks!” Really, Hot 97.5? Are they really today’s hottest tracks? Because, to me, they all sound the same played out pop music formula that’s been cut up and recycled so many times that its almost like no one cares what the final product is anymore. Oh cool, another lazy chorus sandwiched between some predictable pop beats, exactly what I was looking for. I won’t even touch on the disaster that is country music, I’ve shown enough of my self-perceived music elitism already.

Anyway, here’s a playlist I made:
The songs on here aren’t necessarily my favorite songs, they’re mostly ones that I like and think would set a good mood for a laid-back hip-hop/R&B infused road trip.

Some of my favorite quotes from the keystone tracks:

Like a Ship by Pastor T.L. Barrett and the Youth for Christ Choir:
Just like a ship, without a sail. But I’m not worried because I know. But I know we can make it.

Broken Clocks by SZA:
All I got is these broken clocks, I ain’t got no time, just burning daylight. But it’s still love, and it’s still love, and it’s still love, it’s still love, still love…

Final Hour by Lauryn Hill:
I treat this like my thesis. Well-written topic, broken down into pieces. I introduce then produce, words so profuse. It's abuse how I juice up this beat, like I'm deuce. Two people both equal like I'm Gemini, rather Simeon. If I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it, you can't stop it.

Why so sad, walkin’ around with them blue faces? She said I’m down on my luck and it’s something I gotta have, blue faces. I hit the bank today and told ‘em color me bad, blue faces. Yea that new money, and it’s breakin me down honey.

Early Morning Pizza at the Airport

People seem different when they’re at the airport. I’m not quite sure if I can say it’s a good different or a bad different, they’re just… different. Different in a way that makes them eat pizza and drink a glass of wine at 10:00AM. Different enough to fall asleep in public and not have any cares about people looking on. Different enough to yell right through complete strangers’ ears to get the attention of their children running amok around baggage claim. Yes, the airport, more than any other public space, changes people’s behavior to be different from the norm. I think that the strange behavior of people at the airport can be attributed to the liminal nature of the airport. Business women drinking champagne at 9:45AM and construction workers eating burgers in the next restaurant over both find themselves outside of their day to day routine. This departure from their norms accompanied with the stress of being on time for a flight seems to create some sort of confusion in which ...

The Sublime Feeling of the Dodgers Losing

I can’t stand the Dodgers. Their fans, their ‘Dodger blue’ (it’s just blue), their team, their manager, the entire concept of their baseball team is a thorn in my side. The only nice thing I can say about them is how happy they make me when I see them lose; especially when they lose to the Diamondbacks. Sure, watching them lose from the couch or even at Chase Field is one of the best things in life, but I’d like to think there’s more joy to be found in their downfall. So, in my quest to see the Dodgers lose, I must go into the heart of their operation. On May 9 th , in just 9 days, I’ll be at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with my Archie Bradley jersey on watching my Diamondbacks crush the Dodgers.  Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Timjarrett       An overnight trip to LA doesn’t require too much luggage. Here’s what I’d bring: -        Two shirts (in case one falls victim to a ballpark hotdog ...
