Pharell? You Know What's Up

[=Q=]

Like the legend of the Phoenix ... 

He sits cross-legged, in the middle of his home. It’s a small place. Not too fancy. Probably something you’d see in a bustling city, like a studio apartment if one needs an analogy. (I know, I know. You probably always imagined Q just walking around all the time. Nah. He lives in a place, no foolies.) On all the walls, in some place or another you’ll find posters ... pictures ... mementos and sometimes even scraps of what look to be trash (They have memories, too! Who says memories come from something pretty all the time?)



The wall he’s staring at has a photo of a large, flaming bird ... the legendary Phoenix. The Phoenix often fascinated Q, the idea of rebirth and rising anew from the ashes of some terrible tragedy. And they’re SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty. The colors were always bedazzling, hypnotizing ... he could always sit and look at a photo for at LEAST half an hour.

All ends with beginnings. 

Stacy Jones. Haven’t heard a peep from her in like ... almost two weeks. She was all ‘OOOOOOH look at me I’m back and I’m new ‘n improved so watch your back because Q I’m gonna GETCHA and ...'. You know, I get it. I do. Gotta raise your stock when you’ve been gone for a while. BELIEVE me, I know. Better way I’ve found is to just come in, do your thing, and get some momentum behind you. I didn’t start the best ... I’m looking at you, Hiroshi. But you know, people liked seeing me so it was worth it. And then, last week ... I totally upped the ante in a REAAAAAAAL close match. Good on you, Jury.



This week, it’s the Scarlet Phoenix. Stacy Jones. We’ve done this song and dance before. You were different, and I was ... well, I was kind of different. Not too much. But somewhat. I’ve learned a lot since then.

What keeps the planets spinning 

Love, baby. Peace, love, unity and respect. That’s what keeps the planet spinning. See, it doesn’t matter how Billy Bad-a** you are ... if you’re not putting your status to good use then man, you’re just static. Static amongst all the rest of the static. I don’t wanna be static. I’m gonna do my thing, people are gonna smile because ... everyone needs to smile more. All these people walking around ... so serious and GRUMBLE GRUMBLE and ... come on.

The force from the beginning. 

It’s always about love. Respect. If it’s not, then you’re not living. And the rebirth? Doesn’t matter in the slightest.  I don't even really have much to say at this point, because she's doing the whole strong and silent thing.  That's cool.  I get.  Mystique and all that.  But we'll see each other at Trauma and by then?  There won't be any time to talk then.  I'll be passing you with the Good Vibe Tribe blaring in my wake.  

Catch a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, Stacy!
