i want

since the day in 4th grade when mrs. harcourt taught us
the difference between "to need" & "to want"
i've harbored guilt for ever having wants.

but sometimes, it's ok to want.

dixon's girl

meet dessa (of doomtree).

i was absolutely obsessed with her song (especially the video) dixon's girl awhile back but somehow lost track & never posted about her here. (thanks for reminding me jason)

this girl is incredible. one of the few rappers i've ever really gotten into. probably because she takes
"influence from Leo Tolstoy more than Jay-Z."
there is nothing more poetic than dessa's lyrics.
"but 'member when we didn't have a dime to stop on?"
i sure do. all too well.

PS thanks a trillion to patsy for sharing his intense love of dessa.

update! dessa is on twitter... @dessadarling
