"****?uestlove Appreciation Post*****"
Tue Oct-07-08 10:43 AM by Damali

          

Imagine building this big house, that you live in ( but you're hardly ever home)...you do drop by from time to time tho...and you let lots of other people live there. most of the time, when you're home, your house guests are polite, but sometimes, increasingly so, you walk into your OWN HOUSE and mofos greet you like 'fuck you! what the fuck is you doing here? oh you think you special just because you BOUGHT THIS COUCH I'M SLEEPIN ON?" or when new guests want to hang, they scare them off on some "why you wanna come up in this shithole?"...but you keep paying the mortgage anyway cuz the respectful and funny houseguests make it all worthwile or cuz you just like the house...

I just want to say thank you to him...not just for providing this unique, one-of-a-kind internet extravaganza called Okayplayer, but for making time to talk with us sometimes and tell us treasured stories from his life.

that post that's up now...i don't know about y'all but i've been enjoying myself so much reading his stories. they are just so real and he's not afraid to make fun of himself a bit. it's so cool to have a glimpse behind the curtains of a life that i will probably never know (and part of me kinda doesn't want to)...and even just remembering times when he was kind to me personally...i don't know..all this is just to say a heartfelt thank you, man.

perhaps we could use this post to tell some nice stories about meeting ?uestlove? dunno..
