I’m on the mountain. I came down for a day to tie up some last loose ends and I may not have internet for the next month save a few trips. But I tried to make it fruitful. I wrote a bunch of reviews for the Bloglin, I made that video, and I did a bunch of other stuff such as laundry that’s not worth mentioning. I’m posting it in Standard Deviance for obvious reasons. The other one which is my raps over the “N***as in Paris” beat is perhaps less obvious. The title though, if you’ve paid attention to the column over the last year, should bare some significance.

Arcata is basically the mecca of the Emerald Triangle. It’s where people congregate, and drifters drift. At this time of year there are tons of trimmers in Arcata. And it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s been like that for a long time. Children have grown up there and turned out alright. In fact they seem more level-headed than a lot of other Americans I’ve known. It’s all just puns in the end.
