Die Antwoord - "Cookie Thumper" (Official Video) and? Like I said I watches/listens to these grown folks sometimes so I can know what’s going on out here…this is weird but thank goodness for the jour-nal entry rubric.  
   
This one could outrun that brown narrative like the Aylmer twin. She’s my roommate in the hospital; and the bars are never all the way down to the ground sometimes but something’s very peculiar or dif-ferential whatever casual. She’s says ya know, my Mother is from Belgium and my Dad is half Black and half Chinese. I says wow well people immigrate/emigrate consistently rising since the 80s. I could see how that (you) might’ve happened…looking at her slyly out of the corner of my eye now; hmpf- (might save your life or get you unemployed-at large). She proceeds to tell me what part of the city he’s from-they eat meat raw moved to the burbs; how quaint. She’s younger, telling me about how she went to Columbia NY edu, lives in the adjacent township and is now a waitress. She’s down about having to withdraw due to finances, so home with no definitive plan on how to finish up that psychology degree. I says well there’s local community college. She’s says yea dat’s true. I’mma step out a minute; see ya later gator. She leaves the room and nebulous is in the mirror with her hair. Out of nowhere something pops behind me with blahhhhhhhh and confounded sees this crazy ass face shaking side to side- 30% erotic/ 70% ooga booga. She’s got a ton of long red wavy hair going crazy with her thumbs in her ears and tongue hanging out. I thought I was having a heart attack, which made her day wtf? She’s LOL all by herself- but low grade fire popping it. I didn’t know if the child was spooking me black or spooking me white or which way I was bout to run with it (bout to give somebody a psychotic break) but I know I was done- fucking with my everlasting cultural cognitive dissonance in the opposite direction of the nation of Islam; sistah. I swear that could’ve only happened to me. *signifying trickster
