The Rantings and Ravings of An Albany Alumnus. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Rush Hour At 4:30 am. Last night I had difficulty sleeping. Instead of trying to force submission that would not come, I let my curiosity get the best of me and ventured outside at 4:30 am in pursuit of any fellow insomniacs I could find. Instead of the few wandering souls I expected to encounter,. I got the whole neighborhood. Here I was, still not having slept from last night, and these people were already at work. Basically, t...

The Rantings and Ravings of An Albany Alumnus: Revelin' in Reggae

http://kelefitz.blogspot.com/2010/03/revelin-in-reggae.html

The Rantings and Ravings of An Albany Alumnus. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. I'll confess: I have no idea what's going on in this song. But that doesn't stop me from liking it. There's something about reggae music that just makes me feel all tingly inside. Lame, I know. But it's the truth. How can you hate on guys that are just pot-lovin, peace promoting island boys, preaching love and unity to all of God's chillin'? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tonal languages are on a. In class...
