    You may have personalized my response.  Wasn't questioning your personal beliefs, believe what you want to believe and that's ok by me.    

     

    You did quote me and write a reply though so I read it and re-read your first response.    You did say object, but you also state it wasn't made by humans and resembled something from fictional games and movies about aliens.  What struck me about the rest is that confronted by something new and unfamiliar the conclusion is it must be alien because nothing else appears to make sense.  For myself, I read some of these descriptions and think VTOL has been available for aircraft for decades, I bet they've advanced it some in that time.  Drones still bug the fuck out of me, the way they move is very foreign, or is it alien?  They can perform some odd movements.  I also think, was this before drones, or before we knew about drones?  University courses provide a framework for how things work; experience tells you how those things work IRL.  You used to trip balls and your own boys thought this was an extension of that.  They must know you better than I so I'll have to trust their judgment.  No one would answer their door for you to discuss this.  I look at this and say this dude may have been tripping balls, maybe someone dosed him, he thinks he sees UFOs, maybe he thinks helicopters are following him too, he's dragging his fam out into the street to see this making a scene and his fam and the neighbors are staring at him in disbelief.  Afterward no one is trying to open their door for dude because he's obviously going through some things in the moment.

    I'm floating different perspectives here.

    UFO does not equal alien, it equals we don't know (or claim not to know) what that is/was.  Shit like the SR71 Blackbird or the B-2 Stealth were identified as UFOs by unsuspecting citizens before we knew what they really were.  

    Word . You’re right , it’s why I used the term

    “object” . If what we saw is in fact secret government technology/experimentation - our sciences are on some serious Star Wars level type ish . Ima stick to what I saw with my own eyes , it wasn’t a flash or a fleeting moment - the fucken thing hovered in place and zipped around like a sci-fi flick for a cool min . If it was manned by a human , the next world

    war is going to be seriously fucked . Government or alien , I’d be surprised (to say the least) if I saw it again in my lifetime .

     

    The way it moved simply does not make sense , just the movement itself was enough to bring goosebumps . Completely shitted on all the stuff I learned in hs/uni physics courses . If they are what I think (hope) they are , I really hope they’re peaceful lol . Mars Attacks was dope n all but I’d prefer to keep that story in movie form

     

    I believe !!

    @luhemsounds a lot like what we saw. We were also sober. Did the one you saw disappear over the horizon or in to the distance? Ours didn’t dip over the horizon it just shot out “away”. Heavy co-sign on the maneuvers being surreal. When we saw it, was also many years before drones and cell phones. Was at the beach at night over the sea.. far out over the sea. 

    I was half asleep when I posted that & used the phrase “dipped into the horizon” .
     

    We’re 10 minutes from the beach at my grandma’s and this was happening over regular suburban neighborhoods during the daytime - everything was crystal clear . I wish I had today’s cell phone to capture it , people would lose their shit . Galaxystarhiphop moment . It definitely went “away” , like the thing went toward the horizon but it did not disappear like a passenger plane going across the sky & out of eyeshot - you can say it went “in” to the distance . There was a stark difference between the thing and the helicopters (attempting) to follow , having those choppers there really highlighted the contrast between the movements we could see the helicopters slowly disappear like normal - while the other thing pretty much vanished .

     

    More : read the above post - Helicopters were Sheriff choppers for my sighting as well & the object was hovering , but moving around and changing directions in a specific area boxed in by the choppers (until it fled) . Closest thing I can compare it to is a hummingbird

    I’ve seen something in the sky at night that moved across the sky in a way I’d never seen before and have never seen since. A friend and I saw it together and were both stunned. Moved in a way that would turn a human pilot into jelly. 
     

    wasn’t a satellite, wasn’t a planet, wasn’t a meteor, wasn’t an airplane. No idea what is was. 

    One day I was driving into my grandmas neighborhood and noticed a gathering of people in the street . Probably 5 houses full of families were outside on their driveways / the street pointing and staring at the horizon . The houses on the other side of the street had their views blocked by the trees . I saw two helicopters , so I pulled & over hopped then asked a neighbor wtf was going on . I’ll never forget how the guy just looked at me and pointed to the sky . It was something hovering up there (this is like 13 years ago so pre-drone) 
     

    I immediately felt a rush of adrenaline so l mashed it over to our house and screeched to a halt halfway up the driveway , ran inside and as I was coming in - our family dog ran out to the front steps and started freaking the fuck out . She never did that before . . I’ve never seen her react like that to anything , ever . I called my brother , he was in disbelief & then we called my pops to come outside . we stood on the steps and watched this fucking thing maneuver with velocities / directional change in ways that no man made ship could go . . Shit was like real life galaga . My bro and pops are the biggest unbelievers to this type of shit and their jaws were just dropped .

     

    It was triangular shaped , with a constant pulsating light going the tip down to the two sides - purple to blue repeatedly . When it moved , the helicopters would reposition to try and keep it in their line of vision . Two fucking choppers and a good chunk of my

    neighbors all saw this shit , plus my fam . to this day whenever freaky shit happens , I remind my bro and pops about this incident and they cannot deny what we all witnessed . after about 30 seconds watching it with them , it dipped into the horizon and the helicopters slowly followed behind and eventually disappeared too 


    the one thing I will never forget , is when it moved it gave you the creeps - it was fucking incredible . I’ve noticed the common theme between seeing this type of shit is the way the objects move . They don’t maneuver like human made ships , and I don’t think a human could survive bing inside something moving in that way . Being able to compare it to the helicopters was a mindfuck .
     

    Once again this was all a decade+ before drones man . I’ve always thought that we aren’t the only ones here - my family used to call me an alien as a youngster cuz I was so into em lol We were all sober and I swear I feel like a kook explaining this 😂but I wish we could have recorded it with cell phone cameras like we have today . I legit went back to that street where everyone was outside watching it , and NO ONE answered the door . I wanted to talk to them and find out what happened before I got there , but seriously no one fucken answered . I’ve told a few homies but my psychedelic usage at the time did not help my case lmao 

     

    they’re fucking out there fam !!!!!!!

  4. this morning I learned iPhones log your last 200 calls 😂 

     

    Major shoutout 2 california EDD customer service . that hold song will forever haunt me , guitar and flute duos will always be associated with unemployment here on out . Only took ~250 calls to get through to a human bean 

     

    Dude was really helpful tho can’t lie , explained everything to me properly and even called back and left a voicemail when our call got disconnected . Said itll take 3/4 weeks for the audit process instead of the usual 2 , and to keep certifying for benefits even if it shows $0.00 .

     

    hopefully this the first and last time I gotta file for unemployment smh . got some sneakers I can flip to hold me over til then . feeling a lot better now !

  5. working on sight reading these drill sheets w/ some new voicings 

     

    Reason for doing this is to be able to read & play  music on the fly . When you enter a session and the band leader/musical director hands you a chart you’ve never seen/played before - you’re able to sight read the music and play it with others on the spot . I filled each page with completely random chords , so technically an actual song would be easier since you can find the key the tune is in & then identify chord progressions (ii-V-I’s etc) 
     

    It’s pretty grueling but I’m gonna get it in this week starting today . 😤👊

  6.  

    this song cheers me up when I’m down , I have  played it multiples times this year to start my day off right
     

    dope live version of a classic - with Ron carter on bass (legendary jazz bassist who played in miles Davis’ second great quintet) 

     

    Fun? fact : i always thought this song was about a woman , but Bobby hebb wrote this tune in the 48 hours after his brother was stabbed to death (same day JFK was assassinated) . He was determined to write this because he felt it was better to have a positive outlook on his life rather than living life with his head down . The tune is about his brother and best friend . Story goes he waited three years before recording it , and then it became a mega hit . Brutal story - turned things around into a triumph 😤 

     

  7. This guy is a fucken underrated G

     

    Became blind at age 2 and then became a virtuoso 

     

    mans did a 21 min solo without stopping to take a breath dog . .  . people swear if he stuck to one sax he would have been ultra legendary , but he had a dream to play two at once - did it , then did three . 

     

    fucken wild 

     

    edit : do we have a jazz thread ?! I know there was a bossa one but I’d be down to contribute to one dedicated to all of its subgenres . I’m gonna look and make one if I/someone hasn’t already I can’t remember lol

  8. @KILZ FILLZPsure no one in LA county gets eagles games , there could be some eagles bar or something I’m unaware of but shits changed now since they moved the rams n chargers here . lots of rams/chargers fans now (completely understandable/makes sense)

     

    I think my cuz had some NFL game pass subscription - I’m a bball head so I’m assuming it’s the equivalent of the NBA league pass where they have diff tiers available (either one team/every game or every team/every game for more $ type ish) 

     

    hotdudes.org (this is a legit stream page - I feel like the name has kept them under the radar lmao) would stream the most popular sporting competition at any given time on their site (usually USA sports) . Caught almost every nba game I wanted to watch on there so I’m gonna try again when this NFL season starts . they would choose between the more hyped option if there were two games at the same time iirc

     

    If all else fails I would literally search “reddit nba stream” on google , and I eventually followed the trail to what I was looking for . I’ll do my due diligence when the season starts and seek out who’s running the best no bs NFL live stream - will share it here when I find it cuz I’m sure it’s out there just gotta dig a bit

  9. what the fuck lol , need to ask the doctors in the fam if they got manning family thank you cards . I wonder if they flip 

     

    raiders skipped town and I only rooted for em due to my pops being a LA Raiders fan . Most my fam are raiders/rams ppl but I aint joining the rams legion . Never switched teams before but I watched the eagles lose to the Seahawks at my cuzzo’s bedside before he passed a week later , gonna root for his team since here on out since he’s a diehard philly eagles fan .
     

    was always hyped on desean Jackson , LB poly brejren and LA bred !

  11. Yee - Jazz OG are a great silhouette , top 5 all time for me . Tend to stick to Nike/Saucony - got a pair of GL3’s but the rest of my collection are strictly sneakers from various skate companies I grew up on 

     

    These are my favorite in the collection , the “Sea & Sand” collabo w/ Anteater from Russia 

     

    Bummed I missed out on these perforated leather joints , I haven’t found any reviews of the leather quality but they dropped in 2 colorways (black / white) - would dig one of each when I can afford to buy sneakers again 😂

  13. venting: 


    CA EDD benefit claim page - mom n pop grocery store I worked at was sold to a chain few months ago & I finally filed for unemployment about 2 weeks before the world ended . apparently made a mistake on my claim (never done this before) and the letter in the mail showed up month later - but with $0.00 benefits .
     

    filled out another claim 100% accurately 2 weeks ago (since you can’t get a hold of a human on their phone line to fix an error/edit a claim) , & finally got an email to certify for benefits late last night (a step I didnt get to with my first claim) - but for $0.00 again . .

     

    I feel dumb as fuck for not applying sooner but I was running odd jobs for people/flipping shit while looking for a new gig , feeling good and interviewing for potential new employers then covid hit and now 3 million people are filing here

     

    me right now = 🥵😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

    yeah...im feelin that 1st beat ..RIP Dilla.

     

    I've always been a busta fan....broke 15 year old kid but still copped the Got you all in Check single on cassette...bought the extinction level event album on cd the first week it came out when i was 17.

    a few years later I ran into him here in cali with his secuity guard.

    love his music but in real life he's a dick.

    i still listen to his shit, but i wont buy his music again

    fucc really ?!?! god damnit , “never meet your heroes” 

     

    all the shit I’m into is your gen stuff man , boom bap / 90s golden era stuff . I learned about all this shit from my uncle and swiping music from his cd tower in my grandmas garage when I was in elementary school . late 90s / early 2000’s Hip hop will always be my shit 
     

    only person I’ve ever met face to face was questlove . Was during Kobe’s all star weekend party 2011 here in LA - uncles friend was doing security and got us in . I remember Matt Barnes was in line behind us while he was playing for the lakers hahaha . ?uestlove was kinda hidden in a corner by the ground floor bar with this fine Japanese girl . when she left for the bar I went up to him and fucking full on blanked , hit him with a “yo I dig your music man . . The roots my favorite band” . he laughed and said “ayyy thank you !!!” then I dipped when the lady came back , epic night


    lil Dilla tribute from the legendary roots crew :

  15. “Last” on the iOS App Store really helps

     

    taking the year off drinking , decided to throw in the smoke for a bit too . Had some champagne with wifey on nye and made this promise to myself to help attain some musical goals . 
     

    then woke up to a call on Jan 1st from my mom saying my cousin/best friend was admitted to the icu on the 30th . no one wanted to tell me I guess and I don’t blame anyone . He ended up leaving us the day after he turned 30 . Jan 12 his 30th bday and Jan 13 he was gone smh

     

    dunno if this is for good but it feels great and I wanna keep my promise to myself with no drinking for a year , hope the app helps it’s kind of nice to see the numbers and the $ you’ve saved
