So anyway,...
Consciousisms

him: Talib Kweli - "Your only scared to die if you ain’t living right"
me: What is your least favorite slang word?
him: I got so many that I hate. ‘I’m on my grind.’ That just annoys the hell out of me cause everybody isn’t. Oh and ‘Swag, swagger, swagalicious, anything that has ‘swag’ in it. That’s probably the worse.
me: What turns you on?
him: Stimulating conversation. Art. I was at the MOMA recently and I was looking at this peace of art and it was speaking to me. Something about textures and color and things that heighten my vibration.
me: What turns you off?
him: smoking cigs. females that smoke. and I really don't like drunkardness.
me: What sound or noise do you love?
him: The ambient sounds of nature. windy days, The park early in the morning, thunder.
me: What sound or noise do you hate?
him: I’m not fond of car alarms . and the sound of cats crying in the middle of the night freak me out.
me: What is your favorite curse word?
him: I’m trying not to curse.
me: What profession other than being an indie artist would you like to attempt?
him: Stand up comedian. I’m moderately funny.
me: What profession would you NEVER ever want to do?
him: The guy who cleans up the peep show room. No janitorial work in there. No peep show maintenance. Nope.
me: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
him: ‘You were right!’
