The REMIX of The 8r8 in 2021


My commitment and if you are reading then I am sure I fucked you. The question is what did it do for you? Was it physical or was it mental? Do you miss me or is this some kind of weird shit that you never tell anyone that you do? It was probably love but what's done is done. I can assure that my commitment to uncertainty is hiding behind playful approached to very quiet return unless just sexual because I think that would be cool too. Reading through my previous posts I don't remember writing anting in a somewhat horny tone, but these are the kind of questions I am back to explore with the 2021 Remix. So the very first one I did was one that hated title, "It Only Takes 3 Seconds For The Title to Change Hands."  on Friday August 10, 2010. I revised paragraph one and then offered some commentary below. So, this is one of the learn as you go projects. I hated that over 10 year old post so much that I will return very very soon to finish the story. So paragraph one was just revised. I did not save the original which I regret but will change the color of the original text moving forward and I will keep the notes up for a while and achieve them to officially be done. So look for the (2021 REMIX) in the title for a bit more content and building on the what has been done. Look for the Green Text for the commentary and feel free to reach out if there any questions about anything or anyone. I miss writing about my thoughts and my reality.  I can't believe that I missed my 10 year anniversary on here. I hope the guilt makes me write a fucking book and I can assure you that you won't be in it and I miss absolutely no one. Enjoy the REMIXES and I want to create some new stuff but I need it to be FUN. I leave you with a picture of my very first attempt at a custom action figure as 15 year old me attempted to turn the Green Lantern into Parallax. I really wanted a Parallax figure.  The older wiser 8r8 and GENERATION that....

Where Yo Land

“Cause time's a wastin'
Don't you take your time, young man
Keep on drifting and
Ain't no telling where yo land.” - 

Erykah Badu- Mama’s Gun-(2000)

That track and a big ass blunt back then was straight up perfection. She spoke to me and that wasn’t easy to do cause of the noise. There’s was so many different personalties that came with an individual soundtrack and if we got high enough we were going to listen to your song. We are going to get to your story I just hope I could hear it tonight because of all of this noise. Yeah, it’s Saturday night so you know I am going to have leave because she got some a couple Buddas and the after hours is usually ridiculous but you can still chill here and I know this dude right here has been quiet and he’s been listening, I love him to death and he’s going to understand. I was overwhelmed because that song got in my head. On the surface I was going a little backwards depending on your morality perspective. I had said yes to drugs and I was adjusting from never touching the stuff to how far can I take this without fucking up too bad? I was overwhelmed because Mama’s Gun album has filled my head with questions. I was going to need to have a few drinks with Sarah before the after hours because she was the voice of reason and my moral thermometer. She didn’t do drugs, she would have a few drinks, and steal most of my cigarettes but I could tell her just about anything. She was the best judge of character you could possible want. A true Catholic that was never preachy or judgmental she had that mystic quality of grown woman very young. I would expose her to an odd cast of people in small doses sporadically. I had a level of respect for her and she was my oldest friend. We could both be thrown right into nosiest situation and makes some sense of all of it. She listened to me cry about my broken heart for over a year at this point and knew I was still a bit lost. I had to explain to her that going out once a week and taking a little pill really helped. I opened myself up again socially and I was forming a soul binding relationship with music. She wasn’t impressed that I needed a substance to connect with music but I assured her I was going to stay in control. I was already a fully functioning pothead that only went out to the club once a week. This was music to my ears. It’s always important to have that one person good on board in your life to help you along. I wasn’t wasting time anymore because I cheated. It was becoming easier to find the moment. I had a clear vision of it but how was I going to seize it all?  I started making sense of all that noise. That album means something to you and I understand why love it so much. I am very happy I smoked with you and now this song is going to always remind me of you and now it’s part of my story. Speaking of my story, my podcast didn’t quite take off like I would have liked. I am not closing the door on it so it may be back some day soon. I am going to throw you a few words more often. It may be something like today or something else. I enjoy when I have no real plan and as you can see some weird shit came out. I hope everyone is looking for something intangible out there. I want you to go out and find that something that you are mssing. There’s something to gain for sure. Take care everyone. See you soon.

#33: Empty Theaters Folks

The 8r8's audio woes continue and his output just doesn't measure up. We cut the cord and press the wrong button to present schizo levels of sound. The hottest segment in wrestling is discussed as the Hardy's present Final Deletion. The Brock Lesnar situation is explored. The 8r8 Podcast needs a hero and who is it going to be? Did the 8r8 go see the Ghostbusters reboot? Did anyone go see the Ghostbusters reboot?
