Video Clip: Mon-tag -Technology Bother’s Me
Posted by iAreConscious in Audio Bitz, Blog, Video on September 2, 2010
Last night I’d planned to shoot a short video for this verse I wrote a while ago called “Michael’s Faith”. Walking back to the house I happened pass this flat screen television sitting right out in the road. Someone tossed it. Looked in a good shape. I wondered if it would come on. I need a new monitor for the computer I do most of my work on. Got it home and of course the screen had been damaged but not so much that it couldn’t be used for something interesting. Since I was doing this MJ song and the first line is, ‘I’m just a man in the mirror, wanna get out‘ it would be great to shoot a scene and replay it through the broken screen, something sorta like a broken mirror. Well in handling the monitor I managed to damage it even further, cutting off more of the large screen. No matter, I still used it and was able to take advantage of the destroyed screen as seen in the very beginning with the lines of color that seem to be moving. If it isn’t completely obvious I was going for a very eighties look. Not exactly Max Headroom but a feeling related to that idea and the vibe of VHS and film. If you do not know it already I am very attached to analog, while appreciating the marvels of digital technology, but even still a bit ‘bothered’ by the exchange and relation between the two. There are things that do not exist any longer that I grew to love and appreciate coming up.
iBuprofen – (the fotoLAB is DEAD) Tease

Soon come the single featuring Likwuid & Sumkid. The Carolina’s South and North meet for this collaborative effort produced by iAreConscious.
#iBuprofen is the sequel to “We Sort Glass” featuring Sumkid.
The song quite simply is about manifesting what it is in your life that you want to come to be. Taking matters into your own hands. Taking total control of your life. There is no ship coming that you should be waiting to board. If anything learn how to swim and get where ever it is you’d like to be. Fly there if you have to. Train yourself to teleport. It really doesn’t matter how. Just get there!
looking forward to recording this verse…

I’m still growing. You never stop… I wrote this yesterday.
Load the logs up in the chopper need some fire for that furnace…
Slash a tire, my desire in earnest is to thrive
Stay Alive in this disco era of terror, flashing lights, watch the falling marquees
ain’t noboy ballin like me, seems in these raps.
rollin on twelves, round midnight, time to restock shelves
i’m hungry,… like Lonnie was,
a genius donny was, that very well
might have been the death of him
talk loud, back to the voices hope to deafen them
threw hope in the chest with them fears worries and doubt
make’em fish food, throut. my mind a river ran through it
and notes, liquid like music…
the ghost.. refused it… i rather me another muse
i’m traveling with math abused, science misconstrued
damn… what would michael do in this predicament
well, he’d keep going, acknowledge with gratittude those listening
recycle that energy on stage audibly glowing
showing, proving, knowing and moving congruent with the stars
creating his own greatness, raising the bar
left a legacy unsurpassable, the blueprint for ours
you can choose to see these as last and evil days
or unlock the box and step the hell up out the cage
please no complaints around me
ain’t no naysayin, as the dreams begin to manifest
with every word we’re relaying
Sometimes, you get attacked! (online)… LOL

I share it all with you. Well at least most of it. The good, the bad and the ugly. The strange, insane and plain ol peculiar.
Today is no different. I’m logged into Twitter for a lil while, walk away from the comp and return to find I have a couple messages from a rather angry individual waiting on my timeline…
Now this came not long after I sent this individual the following DM (private message).
It’s really important to not get upset when confronted with situations as such. A response is not really necessary but if you so choose to, make it brief and devoid of anger. Careful where you allow your energy to be drawn away from you. Don’t waste your time with snarky retorts. Don’t take things personal.
It’s the innanets!
