“Nipsey Hussle’s Baby Mama claims rapper’s sister took their daughter after his death and refuses to return her.” Is it just me or was that Yahoo News article title from my email particularly difficult to comprehend with all the possessives? Also, I’m not quite sure what a “baby mama” is...is that the mother of a particular baby? I had heard “baby mama” before, but I just thought it was some bullshit slang thing.

Haha, that is the most poorly-written headline ever.
Yes, while "baby mama" is often a pejorative term, some people use it seriously or in a reclaiming kind of way for "mother of my child to whom i am not married or coupled."

Summer is coming and since I just got my license, and I'm the only one with a license, I think I'll be the designated driver for my friends and I on a road trip. Haven't even driven on the highway yet though, so I'm kind of nervous about that. Highway is easy just set your speed and steer, it's all the same only faster. Stay out of the left lane if you don't feel like really cruising, it's actually more dangerous to be slower in that lane. Where you guys headed? Sorry I'm late with the reply, finals has been kicking my ass. I was thinking of going to Philly, checking out the city and getting some cheese steaks lol. So far the only thing that freaks me out about driving on the highway is merging onto the highway. Once I'm actually on I can't imagine it being any crazier than people driving here in NYC on the major avenues.

Just be confident and when you make your turn, make it; when you make your merge, make it; when you see a yellow light, dear god please go through it. Never been in an accident in my 20 years of driving in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

My favorite picture from Sonic Temple this weekend. I decided to step away to get behind the stage a bit to get an image of the whole crowd together. I fucking love shots like this, just 40,000 all in the same place at the same time just to rock the fuck out.

One more day of work, then off for the next 6. Cannot wait for my shift to be over tomorrow. I'm off this week too and I have no real plans. Feels good, man.

I really don't like the new layout that Bandcamp switched to when you browse / search for things.

I really don't like the new layout that Bandcamp switched to when you browse / search for things. You mean the drop-down menu? Hm, yeah i could see if you like browsing be genre it would get a little overwhelming. It's still a really neat site, to me.

The way it used to be was whenever you searched for something and clicked "music tagged with _____" it took you to a page filled with best-selling stuff related to what you searched for, or you could click to view the newest releases. Now it shows a bunch of different things and you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to be able to view the best-selling / newest releases. I'm pretty much just complaining, because I liked the simplicity of the old layout. I love Bandcamp and have spent a lot of money on it over the years.

That's quite different. I guess it's a move by the site to really become a little more commercial, and promote certain bands/articles in front of others. Not great. Still, as you said, a hugely important site to me too to discover artists.

Last day of work in the international school is June 18th. Boy am I counting the days left. Running out of class lesson plans fast lately. Two months of summer break follow. That’s gonna be amazing, although I’m spending most of it in Shanghai since my wife’s due date is approaching. That’s fine though. It’s gonna be a really interesting summer for me.
