this morning #128.

this morning, he was really putting his back into it, as ms. toi advised in ice cube’s 1999 single “you can do it.” CLUB BANGA. in those days, the ladies went crazy for his high top fade a la boyz n the hood-era cuba gooding jr. in fact, it specifically got him laid on three non-consecutive occasions, one of which resulted in a son. today, he was balding & “putting his back into it” meant ignoring decades of advice to lift with your legs. this furniture wasn’t going to move itself & his son needed help moving into his fancy new silver lake condo. when they finished, he would take the 110 back to his stark torrance home, grab a heating pad, crack a beer & lounge on the couch for a barbershop marathon.
