I knew this was going to be sort of a concept album. Basically like all of his projects. But was surprised to hear the story that was told on To Pimp A Butterfly. Kendrick Lamar is really the only major hip-hop artist that is doing the real hood reporting, and with this album there's some satire thrown in (it feels like it, to me) and sort of like Dear White People, is not all about just pointing the finger at white people.
I liked that he stuck with a pretty consistent soundscape with this album, which was jazz+funk, for the most part. There is some smooth, groovy, funky-ass production on this album and it is fucking great. It seems as if he's detailing another chapter of his own life. Being famous, struggling with what it means and his own demons as well, going back home and having a rebirth, of sorts.
But immediately, when this album started with "should've never gave niggas money", I was like..."wow. He's just gonna go for it on this one". Jut waxing poetic truth all through this damn album. There's still so much to digest and contemplate, I've listened to this album about 6 times now. I feel like I need to keep going, I don't feel like I understand it 100%. And I want to.
"i" makes much more sense in the context of the album, but it's not even the same version which is so fucking awesome. It's counterpart, "u", is amazing. A lot of memorable, quotables on here.
"Shit don't change unless you get up and clean your ass".
I can't really compare it to GKMC. It's completely different. There are elements of that album I like better than this, and there are some elements of this album I like better than that one. GKMC is still damn near flawless. Nothing's changed with that. To Pimp A Butterfly....I need to sit with this for a while and let it marinate. It's awesome. But can't use any words like "classic", "revolutionary", "perfect" - yet. I need a few more days of letting this resonate. Might come back and update then.
But, King Kendrick killed it. So much necessary truth was spoken here. My Negus

In this image is the quote:
"A person is not old until regrets start taking the place of dreams."
I think that is a powerful quote and one that I need to recite myself. I actually have it printed out and hanging in my work area ^_^
It's also been listed in both my eBay & Etsy shop for others to enjoy as well.
I'm glad I did another quotable, hope to have many more!

Hi All & Tim
May I add my thanks to you all and wish you a happy Christmas and lots of good Voling together in 2018. I cannot wait. All those bonfires, cakes and sarcastic humour.
I thought I would be clever and write a piece about Tuesday incorporating some relevant quotes but the effort has quite overtaken me. So here instead are a few lines from a very wise & quotable Englishman .
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.
We forge the chains we wear in life.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
There are loads more to choose from and I have to say I was very surprised, perhaps I should read some of his books instead of relying on BBC Childrens Dramas from my earlier years when, hard to believe I was a sprog with hopes and the occasional dream, many of which have been far exceeded in life.

Hi All,
Many thanks for all your hard work at Flitton Moor on Tuesday. We were slightly down on the usual numbers but it didn’t stop you getting a whole lot done! I know David was pleased with the result and in his own words:
Thanks to all those who turned out on Tuesday at Flitton Moor - you did an amazing job as always.
Re fencing: I was expecting at the very most that half of the fence would be completed - and you did 2 thirds of it. Well done. The FoFM will finish it shortly in the new year.
Thanks also to those who manned the fire - and dragged brash to it. Almost all the was cut down was burnt.
And a special mention to the 6 hardy souls who spent the morning digging nettles.
A Merry Christmas to all, and a healthy 2018,
David
Thank you also to Lucinda, Sue and Erika for helping out with refreshments at lunchtime and to Malcolm and Jackie for such a lovely cake.
The next Tuesday task will be at Sandy Smith on the 2nd January and will be doing a bit more thinning/coppicing in the plantation near the bridge over the Flit plus maybe a few other jobs.
But there will also be a task at Maulden Heath next Thursday (28th) if anyone wishes to come along. The task will be clearing brash and regeneration in the Adder Field and, of course, having a fire; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Thanks for all your hard work this year and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

Elon Musk is one of the biggest names in the world today and he deserves to be.
Mohit Bansal Chandigarh- Elon Musk is a real visionary who just wants to work for changing the world. He even released the patent of electric vehicles that he had for Tesla cars and said that anyone can use this technology.
Elon Musk is an inspiration for a lot of people (including me) and knows how to motivate people with the things he does and says. He is a highly quotable man and his quotes can get you in the mood to work your butt off...for more details visit themindsjournal.com/quotes-by-elon-musk/
"...and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next..." oooo, there are some great quotable lines in that film! I took this at Easter in a small town in the South of Italy - San Marco in Lamis (FG) Puglia. They do the usual Good Friday parade and re-enact Jesus carrying the cross and with people carrying the Madonna but they also make these enormous torches (Le Fracchie) which they haul along in massive groups, drink beer and practically burn the town down. It's a sort of "whose is biggest" contest and a brilliant party!

Wiz Khalifa prepares for the release of his next project "Big Pimpin" and drops off his single "Slim Peter."
You already know when Wiz Khalifa drops a track, it's time to catch a vibe. The military brat has already shared that he's releasing a new set of tunes soon with his Big Pimpin project, adding that he plans on sharing one half of the project one week and the other half at a later date. In the wee morning hours od Wednesday (July 8), Wiz released his latest single "Slim Peter," and while we aren't too sure whether or not this track will make it's way to Big Pimpin, we can only hope.
With Statik Selektah behind the production, "Slim Peter" was fitted to be a breath of fresh hip hop air in the middle of this hot July week. Wiz Khalifa pairs the title of the track with the single's red-adorned cover art that shows, well, a slimmed-down Peter Griffin from Family Guy as he's smoking a blunt. Check out "Slim Peter" and let us know if you're excited to hear what Wiz Khalifa has cooked up on Big Pimpin.

Grew up like Boyz N the Hood, sh*t wasn't all good
And now my mom got a crib, the backyard is all woods (Hahaha)

I'm at the crib rackin' up plaques and buildin' Chevys.

**Capitol Area Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 78001978, date listed 1978-04-15
State Capitol building and environs
Raleigh, NC (Wake County)
The Capitol Area Historic District includes this central square, the surrounding structures - churches on each corner and government offices facing the capitol - and streets extending to the east and west. These streets include a number of distinguished and representative domestic buildings and churches. No commercial buildings are represented. Though the buildings represent a plethora of styles and periods, there is a persistent, identifiable continuity with few intrusions (except for gap sites created by large parking areas). The boundaries of the district roughly correspond to the locally designated historic district. (1)
The square itself became a landscape of commemoration for noble deeds, sacrifices, achievements, sayings, and official sentiments of the state. A third of the memorials pay tribute to individual and events of the Civil War. The largest and earliest of these, a Confederate monument erected in 1894, features a tall stone shaft on an elaborate base, with two statues, decorations, and inscriptions, and cannon placed at Fort Caswell during the War. Other Civil lvar monuments include Gutzon Borglum's statue of Henry Lawwon Wyatt of Bethel, North Carolina, said to have been the first soldier to die in battle; sculptor Augustus Lukeman's sentimental tribute to the women of the Confederacy (1914); a plaque honoring Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840-1938), last surviving commissioned officer of the Confederate States Army and noted editor.
The non-Civil War monuments include a mid-nineteenth century copy of Houdon's statue of Washington; F. H. Packer's statue of Worth Bagley, first American killed in action in the Spanish-American War; statues of Zebulon B. Vance (by H. J.

**Capitol Area Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 78001978, date listed 1978-04-15
State Capitol building and environs
Raleigh, NC (Wake County)
The Capitol Area Historic District includes this central square, the surrounding structures - churches on each corner and government offices facing the capitol - and streets extending to the east and west. These streets include a number of distinguished and representative domestic buildings and churches. No commercial buildings are represented. Though the buildings represent a plethora of styles and periods, there is a persistent, identifiable continuity with few intrusions (except for gap sites created by large parking areas). The boundaries of the district roughly correspond to the locally designated historic district. (1)
The square itself became a landscape of commemoration for noble deeds, sacrifices, achievements, sayings, and official sentiments of the state. A third of the memorials pay tribute to individual and events of the Civil War. The largest and earliest of these, a Confederate monument erected in 1894, features a tall stone shaft on an elaborate base, with two statues, decorations, and inscriptions, and cannon placed at Fort Caswell during the War. Other Civil lvar monuments include Gutzon Borglum's statue of Henry Lawwon Wyatt of Bethel, North Carolina, said to have been the first soldier to die in battle; sculptor Augustus Lukeman's sentimental tribute to the women of the Confederacy (1914); a plaque honoring Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840-1938), last surviving commissioned officer of the Confederate States Army and noted editor.
The non-Civil War monuments include a mid-nineteenth century copy of Houdon's statue of Washington; F. H. Packer's statue of Worth Bagley, first American killed in action in the Spanish-American War; statues of Zebulon B. Vance (by H. J. Ellicot) and Charles Aycock, each flanked by tablets of bas reliefs by Borglum and quotable quotations; statue of noted educator Charles Duncan Mciver (1806-1906) by Ruchstuhl; and a large tableau (1948) of the three presidents of the United States claimed by North Carolina: James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson. (1)

Theme: Quotes Day 6
I put the quote on the photo today, as well as in the title to fit today's FGR challenge. By the way, Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors of classics. :o)
Good day so far. I did find out yesterday that I have to wait a little longer before I find out if I got the job or not. But, my hopes are still good that this will all work out.
These are my notes/sketches from Meshforum 2006 in San Francisco. Please add notes, tags and comments liberally. Thanks in advance for your metadata!
I was underwhelmed by this monastery. Unfortunately I hadn't read any of the guide books before visiting it, and only found out much too late that this place is in fact well worth the visit. I just ducked in, saw that it was a major tourist attraction, that this part (built after a fire destroyed the original in 1675) had been extensively restored in the last couple of years, with lots of glass panels to give glimpses of frescoes and herd bleating visitors through the turnstiles.
What I failed to understand is that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Underneath it is a huge cliff - the Rock of the name of the place - and a church is carved into the cliff below.
So if you Google on this place you'll see nothing like this shot, but lots of snaps of a rather spectacular Roman cloister from around 1200 and some interesting-looking Mozarabic details.
Ah, well. You give yourself away. But then, I'm atheist, so buildings to the glory of god have always confused me.
I enjoy investing things with meaning, and there's a good deal of symbolism in this shot - and, as usual, its title.
Most of my recent photos are titled with lines by Laurie Anderson. I've always liked her lyrics, but re-listening to some of her musical poetry has brought her mother-lode of quotable lines back to the forefront of my mind.
