Hey all you bad-ass achievers.....really, I mean it. I'm SO PROUD to be a Raisin abroad, y'all are SO rockin' it......from my unusual perspective I see the Raisin posts and e-mails having ease and clarity and power...you may or may not feel that from your end, but I think all the gruelling soulful intelligent communication and hard work of previous years is naturally and expertly propelling you into a FABULOUS YEAR......really, your excellence is arriving on the playa ahead of you RIGHT NOW. And YES you get to relax and be congratulated right now!!! I don't care if yer "not there yet".......you ARE, as evidenced by that ticket in your hand.
Why should you believe me? Well, let me tell ya. Many of you saw my flickr slideshow on my trip to the Euro burn NOWHERE this summer. It was precious and potent and well-organized (ish). And one of my biggest insights was HOW FUCKING INCREDIBLY EXPERT/PRO/LEADING-EDGE RAISIN IS (and other equally bad-ass B-man villages). Maybe you can only see this when you've stepped as far away as I have. And yes, maybe comparisons are limited and yadda yadda yadda. But watch out PC police cuz here I come: American work eithic, ingenuity, creative genius and follow-through, when channelled into such an endevour of truth and beauty as this is a POWERFUL LEADER in the world. Yes I said American. Remember? That country you live in that has a gorgeous and completely unique culture? (that INCLUDES B-man) GOD yes, question it and critique it and change it. But don't lets forget to put the baby in the clean towell with Teddy before the murky bathwater gets chucked, huh kids? Really, all of my Euro friends can (and some WILL) be schooled by y'all. In fact look out for some randoms (from London especially) popping by on my suggestion. They are your family, I kid you not. Kiss their radical selves for me. And THANK YOU FOR BEING THE GLOBAL LEADERS THAT YOU ARE (it's hard work I know, but who said being on the cutting edge would be easy?) (don't for a minute cynacize my zeal, por favor...there's a diff. tween zeal and truth.....)
And no, this isn't just a rant from a homesick ex-patriot. Barcelona is rockin' me in many ways. As we speak stages and decorations are being errected right under my window for the annual festival for my neighborhood (Gracia)...we're talkin' 24-7 for a week. I'm building stilts right now, sewing new pants tomorrow, getting ready to hit the street with my guitar (even though the cops no like......bah! whatev). It's hot and the labyrinth of ancient tiny cobble streets in the gothic neighborhoods undulate with bodies and surreal buildings....think Matrix's Zion mixed with Spanish......okay I'm getting a little carried away, but SHIT it's pretty extremely wicked ("wick" as my london crowd sez).
I love you all.
