Well, aside from the fact it's been a long time since I've written in my journal my CD is delayed yet again.  I was supposed to begin recording a while ago but everything got pushed due to last minutes shows and other work that came up.  Right now, I'm in the process of finishing up some work for Dert's new project and also writing and recording my 1st 4 songs for my New Zealand Project.  I'm working on a project that will be released in New Zealand and Australia next Spring.  It will feature all new material with artists I meet over my last 3 trips there.  It's going to be dope.  And for those of y'all thrown off by the title of this journal and just in case you didn't know.  Now you do...we're expecting a baby in the next few days.  The official due date is November 27th but we think he'll be coming soon.  And yes, I wrote he because we're having a boy.  And I think we've settled on the name...I know you might want to know but it's a surprise.  I'll tell you after he's born.  This leads me to some okey doke news which is that my New Zeland trip in December is going to be pushed to March to help promote the new CD and also to give me time to be home with my expanding family. 

My in-laws are moving out to Cali.  About 45 minutes from us so I'm safe.  Last time my in-laws cam eout here I wrestled my father-in law for 35 minutes, crazy I know but we have this competition thing we're it started with thumbwrestling then it went to arm wrestling then full on WWF wrestling next is sword fighting and who knows after that.

For those who were curious...DEF POETRY will be back on TV in February with new episodes.  I'll keep you posted.  Yes, I'm on again.

Marky Mark killed Leonardo DiCaprio at the end of The Departed.  Sorry if you didn't know.  Still see the movie it was good.  But, I knew that was going to happen.

Do you ever eat Canadian Mints?  I've been eating them like crazy recently.  They sell them at CVS aka Sav-On.

Stop Hammer Time

I'll going to be posting my current Spring Calendar soon.  I have about 30 shows through March so make sur eyou come out I'm making a comeback. 

My daughter is the most amazing person in the world. I'm going to let her type something in my journal right now.  Here goes:  bhyu888888889rt678jhgthkhggty  by AOLANI  That wasn't a joke she really just came over here and typed that mumbo jumbo.  But, I love her and her teachers think she's gifted.

Elsie's belly is getting pretty big.  I think the baby should weigh at least 40 pounds.  It looks like she swallowed a giant bee hive.  A 35 pound bee hive filled with lots of bee's wax.

The Family Guy last week was not good.

Game's CD is whatever.  Jay-Z's is growing on me.  Snoop kills the intro of his CD then the CD gets weak. 

Someone told me you can cure a ignorant person by punching them really hard in the face with their parent's fist.    

I'm giving up soda.  I owe my mom $350 for her sleeping bag I lost.  They should get rid of the taxes on gas it would easily drop below $2.  Even though $2 isn't cheap.

May is UK Invasion Month for me I'm going to work on a series of shows thorughout the UK and Europe.

Not much else, but Lani did tell me Scissors are cutting cheese.  Be safe.  Shihan.  www.shihansback.com
