The original interview was prolly closer to like 25 pages and read more like a conversation amongst friends than an actual interview so it got cut down to size.

I'm Back:

I had a realllllly long weekend up in the sticks.

I know I haven't updated in like 5 days. Like I said, I was in the sticks with limited internet and to be perfectly honest, i needed the time away.

I fished every day and finally got that skunk monkey off of my back. A couple fun little bass got reeled in then released cause I'm a good person like that (FUCK PETA).

I got some good stuff to post on this week, so be patient and like Alcoholics Anonymous "keep coming back".

In hip hop news, Makeshift has officially wrapped on the No Doze mixtape but for some reason hasn't got the links over to me for the download (yeah, if you read this Shift, I'm talkin to you player.) HAHA.

I've been in contact with my old homie Pete Nelson. First person to tell me how the world should/would know Pete in the comments section, gets something real special from this site.

Quick Update

Sorry for the lack of updates today.

I spent the majority of the day interviewing Makeshift. For what it's worth, the interview came out solid.

Should be up by the middle/end of next week, but won't be sure until after the weekend.

Thanks to the few of you who have remained loyal readers while I go through the trials of switching servers, developing the new layout, and buying the domain name, etc.

To the rest of you who haven't been checkin, FUCK YOU.

Yeah I said it.
