March 10, 2010 by elleMy therapist said people with my condition have a hard time putting self first. Wondered if letting you go would be putting self first. Last night I had a dream about you. When I wake up at 5am every morning, I am feeling what I felt with my eyes closed. I felt whole. Covered with ease hearing your words tell me to just be patient. Your profile and your whisper. I felt it all as I walked to the bathroom. I can live inside these feelings you give when my eyes are closed. I am feeling good. Never think or say a loud what I want when I sleep but the Universe is aware of what I’ll take in dream form. Wear those feelings like a shirt you took off after dinner. Wake up feel go to the bathroom back to bed. There is a dream changer in my sheets. I’ll read the New York Times on my Blackberry, read a text from a friend who in her absence asked if I was a new woman. I’ll think of an answer with my eyes closed. An hour later it is time for work. Putting myself first letting you go every morning texting her back a solid yes.

March 6, 2010 by elleOn the train feeling unsettled listening to an old Method Man album.
Where is she? His hand slides down her stomach, stops under its firm roundness.
She’s all the way down there. Her eyes squint with pain.
Put my music on pause to take in this moment as if I were the one carrying love around.

Video: Omen – Holy Omen ft Elite
February 25, 2010 by elleI started out as an artist before I was producing. Once I got into making beats I would only write rhymes once in a while. After recording a warm up freestyle, I hit up Omen asking if he wanted to do a song. He was on a roll at the time, sending me tons of music and I wanted to latch onto his energy, he was being real productive. He sent me the sample and I did the beat pretty quickly – sent it as a “rough draft” but he really loved it. He was in Chicago and I was in New York, so we both wrote our verses without knowing what the other was writing about. Somehow it came together though. I knew Omen was gonna bring it so I couldn’t slack. The reactions I got were great so it ended up being the first step to my rededication to rapping. I’m currently working on a mixtape as an Artist and I definitely have Omen to thank for giving me the shot to kind of rediscover myself as an MC.
The most rewarding part about working with Omen was that he put confidence in me. As someone who is known primarily as a producer, it’s hard to break that stigma and gain respect as an artist. He is very picky with who he works with, so him allowing me the opportunity to not just produce a track for him but appear as a featured artist as well meant a lot. -Elite

February 24, 2010 by elleI hate the way they make you gather close in the lobby then line up upstairs. I felt scared. Closed in. Saddened by the bodies around me. Held in. Squeezed and pinched eyes swelling like a slow climax I felt it coming beginning in my brain tensing my face fattening my neck hardening breast turning stomach taking legs.
It could be this fucking theater.
But I feel this way out. Having coffee riding the train standing in the bookstore at a party with friends. I am a being in this world. I am a part of something whole but not pure. Afraid of people, moving things because I cannot see my steps from where you are. I take up space. Pressured overwhelmed welcoming scared of what of all the things to do to live inside this space inside this clock.
“I don’t want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it.”
February 18, 2010 by elleChristine Jesperson: I mean, they kind of rub my ankles, but all shoes do that. I have low ankles.
Richard Swersey: You think you deserve that pain, but you don’t.
Christine Jesperson: I don’t think I deserve it.
Richard Swersey: Well, not consciously maybe.
Christine Jesperson: My ankles are just low…
Richard Swersey: People think that foot pain is a fact of life, but life is actually better than that.
