DOUBLE TIME BEHIND takes on PARIS

When I was teenager I had this nickname, Double Time Behind. It's a double entendre (I've always wanted to use that phrase on my blog). I was always late and had 2 times the behind of a normal person. I'd like to think that I've outgrown both of those attributes....but me posting this about the new (well new to me) Paris issue of XLR8R proves that I can still be a bit late on things. Any hoot, Something about France is calling me...pls see the signs

1.Use to wear my hair in French Twist when I was 12
2. Luv CocoRosie.
3. New Parisian MySpace friend who looks like the dude from Gym Class heroes...ooh laa lah
4. Really love The GO! Team I know they aren't french but they were in the XLR8R French issue
5. My bestie is obsessed w/ all things french...she's east African...so it's pretty strange that she pretends to be Parisian
6. Been following the career of illustrator extraordinaire Fafi before Le Sport Sac and addidas had even been born!
7. Am the president of Mathieu "Ndeur" Missianen's fan club
8. Stopped shaving my arm pits...tried to ditch deodorant, but that's too French for me...everyone has their limits
9. Nina Simone got back on her feet on the streets of Paris is 1978
10. To the point...XLR8R just did an ode to Paris...I luv it!

Well, Tu che, Escargot, Bonjour, Merde, Merci and all things French
Signing off-The dooky

ROCKERS NYC ROCKS MY SOCKS

So I was out and about the other night and I met some very talented dudes who are the creative minds behind RockersNYC. I'm usually a bit selfish with the whole 'linking to creative people', Which is mostly because I'm a bit insecure and scared that you'll like them more than me, but these guys are super nice, I luv their clothing and their site is fine times had by all.

I'VE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND

It's not that I don't love you. I know that I usually keep you posted on all the happening and you may be feeling a bit neglected lately, I just need to experience more. So I did a sneak attack street vending session on Lincoln Rd...in my hood, as part of ArtMart 11225. It was great and it made me realize how much i luv my neighbors. Thanks Jeff, Andy and all the rest of the coordinators for the event. See ya around Soon.

FREAKIN....ER...I NEED MORE ADJECTIVES

okay...this is coming soon...its a necklace in the beta stages...pretty amazing huh!

Jena...reminds me of Little Rock

I've been pretty bugged out about the whole Jena situation. While a good chunk of students are a few weeks into there first college semester, these students are dukeing it out in the courts. One of the most disturbing parts is when it it become this whole 'the white people hate black people' thing. I know that racial discrimination exists but the second Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson get involved the situation kind of turns into a joke. They mean well, but honestly Al Sharpton have way too much in common for me to take either one of them seriously and its really hard for me to imagine Rev. Jesse Jackson and MLK kicking it together.

So I had an idea, besides all the media hoopla and the general disruption of peaceful life, what could be one of the most challenging parts of going through this whole situation be? Well I decided that it is the cost of whole trial, lawyers, fees etc. So I made this shirt. It's for sale at my site and $10 from every shirt sold will be donated to the Jena 6 Defense Committee
