No Sleep 'Til.... for the Brooklynites.
Rosie Perez is from Brooklyn? For some reason I thought she was from the Bronx. Even though, I live in one of the other boroughs, I gotta lotta love for the BK, birthplace of two of my uncles (Green'pernt represent) and a few of my fave MeCha's and a lotta co-workers (or co-woikas as they say).

"Planet Brooklyn" is where all of us aliens come from.

I didn't get to read this whole thing yet, so this may have been mentioned, but another cool thing about living hear is you can go anywhere in the world and when you tell people where you're from, they go "Brooklyyyn!!" It's funny, especially when a German or a Japanian do it.

Of course, this is all thanks to Joe Famous.

One of my favorite visual memories (sometimes I think it was a dream from a brief period where I was dreaming in scenes from movies, but it really happened):

The NY Marathon goes down 4th ave in Brooklyn, right by my house. Last year some dudes set up a big PA and where blasting music for the runners... We will rock you, kiss, eye of the tiger... Then just at a moment where both sides of 4th (wide, wide street, 4 lanes in each direction with no cars parked) was packed, curbside to curbside with people, all manner of marathon nutters, a dude dressed as a giant cock and balls, several storm troopers, old ladies, skinny danish guys in viking helmets, people on crutches, plain ole runners, they threw on "No Sleep till Brooklyn" and in unison, this sea of people bobbing by, so many people it kind of made me seasick... on every beat of the chorus threw up their hands and shouted:

"NO! (hands up) SLEEP! (hands up) TILL BROOKLYN! (Hands up, waved like they just didn't care)."

Then the metal guitar solo, waah waahh waadaahdaahdahdaaaah!
It was amazing. God bless Rick Rubin and God Bless us, everyone.

I remember seeing the marathon through the windows of the N train. Some motherfucker was running in a full-body Scooby-Doo costume.

Another plane another train


Another bottle in the brain


Another girl another fight


Another drive all night

It's a line from some rap song and now I can't place it, leaders of the new school? maybe. He says it like he means it. Although I do love her and the two times I've seen her in the street buying a pina colada in the Lower East Side, I've told her so at top volume. She's nice, she said "Done be so stooopit!" and smiled.

This is a cool site. My family's roots (at least in the US) are all in Brooklyn even though most of us don't live there anymore.

Rosie Perez once called me "sweetheart," and I melted in a pool at her feet. Then she called me "honey" and I was a man again, tall and proud. I love Rosie Perez.
