Merry Christmas pals! I’m drunk as a cobbler !!! Lying against the monitor alone and cryin’ a song…! Join me tonight!

This is final

Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing…

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o’ the century…always timeless…HOVE!
Thanks for comin’ out tonight
You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you’re here with us
We appreciate that…uuunnnh…

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo’ shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin’ em in the home of the Terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit’ cheese I would work wit’ them
Boy and we…got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn’t born hustlers I was burpin’ em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo’ sheezy my neezy keep my arms so breezy
Can’t leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain’t easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn’t exist
So poof…vamoose son of a bitch

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo’ shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That’s the anthem get’cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya’ll got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A

Yo, It starts with
One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
I Didn’t look out below
I Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, and didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me, will eventually, be a memory, of a time when I tried so

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Oh, they havin’ a good o’ time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Oh, they havin’ a good o’ time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Ladies and Gentalmen
It starts with

I have to agree with all the responses here about Platon’s story. It’s probably the most interesting story I’ve heard recently, and very inspirational.

Platon’s story of Putin was so engaging; he is SUCH a good story teller. I felt like as if I was there with him!

I am struck by the seriousness of some of the photographers – it is beautiful – and the stories certainly are something in themselves – in their own right.

Platon had me feeling like I was in the Dacha with them. Thoroughly absorbing.

The story was stuck in my head for a few days, and then I saw this over at Conscientious…

Platon’s story about the Putin photo is amazing! Best 10 minute story I’ve heard for a long time.

Thanks for posting this, Rob.
