Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy (2008)

Kanye West:Just another one champion sound
me and Estelle about to get down
who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
we just sold out all the floor seats

Estelle:Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.

He said Hey Sister.
It's really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type.
I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don't like his baggy jeans but I ma like what's underneath it.
And no I aint been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
First let's see the west end.
I'll show you to my bridrens.
I'm like this American Boy. American Boy

ChorusTake me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café.
Let's go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to Def I'm lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy.

Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

Let them kno wagwan blud

Kanye West:Who killin em in the UK. Everybody gonna to say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k wit me. Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now. I always act a fool oww oww. Aint nothing new now now. He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. Ribena, I know what you're drinkin. Rap singer. Chain Blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin. What's you're persona. about this American Brama. Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer. Dressed smart like a London Bloke. Before he speak his suit bespoke. And you thought he was cute before. Look at this P Coat, Tell me he's broke. And I know you're not into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit. But I still talk that CAAASH. Cuz a lot wags want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. The Pips at they Gladys. And I know they love it. so to hell with all that rubbish

Estelle:Would you be my love, my love.
could be mine
would you be my love my love,
could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy

Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

j. winterson, "the stone gods" (2007)

"One day, tens of millions of years from now, someone will find me rusted into the mud of a world they have never seen, and when they crumble me between their fingers, it will be you they find." (p. 79)
"And perhaps I have to say that the landing-place I am really looking for isn't a place at all: it's a person, it's you. It's the one place they can't build on, buy or bomb because it doesn't exist anywhere where they can find it.
But it doesn't seem to exist anywhere where I can find it either."(p. 169)

pure wisdom

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

"Pooh," he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."
(A. A. Milne)

una bella notizia e un po’ faghaggine…

in questi giorni, in cui c’è un gran bisogno di belle notizie, leggete qui:

il cartone in stop motion
"Rick and Steve, la coppia gay più felice del mondo",
a tematica LGBT,
ha vinto il Pulcinella Awards,
l'Oscar dell'animazione televisiva internazionale.


certa (!) di vederlo presto sulle nostre reti, vi anticipo comunque che nella seria non manca una fag hag (ma che preferisce definirsi “alternative lifestyle companion”), Condi Ling, apparentemente ispirata a Margaret Cho (che ne è la doppiatrice), ma in realtà ispirata alla vostra gingerheidi. Non ci credete? Leggete questo estratto dal sito ufficiale:

Age: 29 and still friggin' single

Occupation: Different things here and there

Interests: Fashion, Men, Gay men, Being a gay man

[…] While she fits comfortably into any soiree, when the party's over, she's always alone and depressed.

[…] PHYSICAL: Rotund, Asian, […] clothes see too tight and kind of trampy, lots of make up.



Oui, je suis Condi Ling!


e alla fine dei miei giorni, come lei, dirò:

I could see my entire life flash before my eyes, like one big gay pride parade.
