Nu Era | "Nu Tang" (ft. Kung Fu Grip) | Video by DetoozFilms

Bumped into this while browsing around on the interwebz. This is dope! And Nu Era has always been dope with the bass-heavy music similar to Cool Kids, but of course different in style. What's better yet is Seattle up-coming group Kung Fu Grip rips it on this track. 

Hella good. Enjoy!

Beach/Books/Life/and something called "Nu Thang"

So to understand "Nu Thang" go youtube God is doing a nu thang rap. Your welcome! 

So I'm back from vacation...

I'm already ready to go back. Good times with great people. Very successful trip. 

I'm not a great writer. My grammar is horrible, I use ellipses (...) like they are going out of style (if you knew how/what I think you'd probably understand),  and I can't seem to funnel anything into something structured.

But!

I like to think of what it would be like to write a book about my life. I know it'd be pretty boring but I think I would just like to read it when I'm 80ish and revel in the nostalgia. I would have chapters that covered years, chapters that covered thoughts that i've had, chapters that cover my friends, chapters about my faith and spiritual walk, and then a couple of chaperters would be describing a single conversation.

I think one of those conversations that would have a whole chapter devoted to itself was a conversation that I had with friend that I've known for a long time. 

Little background information... Great friends with his younger brother, his father is like a unrelated uncle, he was a sr in high school my first year in youth so we never really had that close of a friendship.

Well, we were sitting on the porch of our beach house late one night, Jason, mentioned above, Tony and myself. It was the kinda night where nature paints a picture and puts you in it. The sound of waves crashing, so many stars you can't help but to be awestruck by the glory, and the crisp smell of the ocean that is unlike any other thing. We started talking about life in general, one of my all time favorite things to do.

Side note... I would take a cup of coffee and a conversation almost over anything in the world. Stimulating conversation breeds life. It refresh, challenges, and ignites you way in more ways than any social media source can. Anyhow...

Back to conversations about life. I was eager to pick Jason's mind. I think about my future way too much. Sometimes anxiously, sometimes fearful, but all the time with hope. I feed off of experiences of others. I live for a good story. I like to think my mind soaks up the wisdom of others. Jason got married about two years ago. He was only a couple of years older than I am now... Kinda scary.

The past couple of days I had been wondering about my future wife. This may be unusual for a guy, but I do it a lot. I don't have a girlfriend right now, I don't have a specific girl in mind, Not really sure if I want to be in a relationship right at this moment, but I think about her. I wonder if I met her, if she'll like the same kinda music as me, if she'll think I'm funny (probably not haha), just many trivial things. But one of the bigger things that pop up is how will I know I love her and will I be able to fully give her my heart.  

I asked Jason when did he knew he loved Carolyn, his wife and who is the nicest person you'll ever meet. I think he was taken by the question. Not because I was questioning his love, but that I actually cared to hear the story. If you know me your probably shocked I care about these things as well. He kinda paused... he mumbled a couple of well and umms. And then it came out like poetry. He explained how some of his past relationships hadn't worked out. He talked about how he had been hurt and that his past experiences helped him out. But then he started talking about Carolyn. He said when he was around her she challenged him to grow closer to God. He began to explain how he would do anything for her. Not in a sappy way, but in a way that he couldn't describe. He said the way he thought started to change. By loving her he was becoming more Christ-like. I sensed the wisdom in Jason's voice, I saw the emotion in his eyes, and felt the power of his words. He went on about they started to become less about themselves and more about them as one and one with God. I felt like a little kid listening to someone reading a Dr. Suess. Jason truly loves her like Christ loved the church. Its not that this was a new concept for me but it was the first time I really understood it.

I laid there looking at the stars. I finally understood what its going to take, what is expected of me. My anxiety passed and I was filled with hope. The hope that the same God who has led me past all of my failures will always lead me. 

I continued to lay there for awhile soaking up the moment, and couldn't help but to start chuckling the words... "God is doin a Nu Thang"
