Ex Ámenté:

Ex Ámenté:

An urbanized guerilla warfare tactic known for using any and or all forms of art, music and poetry to change the social and or economic conditions of oppressed peoples by introducing new thoughts and concepts into society.

This word and concept came to me in a dream last night.

I dreamed that I was riding in a car with a friend of mines late at night and was stopped by law enforcement at what appeared to be a checkpoint.

We were detained and interrogated and at 1st it seemed that the friend was the one they were harassing. The officers were searching through the contents of the car and asking all types of questions from where we were going to where we were coming from. Then to my surprise, while they were searching the car they started pulling out my promo material. It was SideStreet KED flyers and Stickers, Posters and T Shirts. After the officers conferenced about the promo items they began to direct their questions to me... "are you SideStreet KED? Does this belong to you?" etc... Quickly, I realized that my "friend" was one of them! I felt betrayed.

The "friend" starts telling the other officers that indeed I was SideStreet KED and that the items did belong to me so, they immediately began to search my person and place me in custody. Confused I asked what crime had I committed and what was so illegal about my promotional material? The officer replied that my promo was considered to be "Ex Ámenté". Ofcourse, never having heard that word before I asked what exactly was "Ex Ámenté" and they replied "Look it up!". One cop even went as far as to tell me that everything in this world is ran by them and it's just a waste of time for me to focus energy on anything that's considered to spiritual because "there is nothing after death" so I may as well just focus on making money instead of trying to "fight for the people".

As they walked me to the back of the car I saw a motorcycle cop ride by and signal to the other officers with his right hand. The gesture lead me to believe that he was telling them to make the arrest. Instead the officer loosened the cuffs and started giving me instructions...

He took my shirt from me, kicked off one of my shoes, told me that once he released me he wanted me to keep walking and not to look back. After a few steps he pushed me down in some bushes and ran around a building that was on the corner. By the time I reached the corner he showed back up dressed like a bum and began to spray me with a water hose as if to give me the appearance of being homeless... I then walked a few miles home. at that point I was awaken from the dream.

Immediately, I reached for my phone and put "Ex Ámenté" into dictionary.com looking for a definition. Ofcourse, there wasnt one.

After thinking it over, I decided to claim the word and give it a definition based on how the word was used in my dream.

AKA: The War On Normal


AKA: The War On Normal... If you missed Dirty Hollywood v13... You have no life! The one year anniversary of the Dirty Hollywood Showcase was Freakin Awesome!!! If you didn't know... SideStreet KED is Crazy!!! Self Diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder it's hard to anticipate which one will show up at any given moment but, at Dirty Hollywood last Thursday all of them came out to play. There's SideStreet, The wild one that likes to smoke, drink and have a good time. There's KED, The most sane of the bunch that usually keeps everything in perspective and likes to deliver subtle messages to the crowd. He's very educated, well rounded, cultured & has a college degree. KED is energetic, loves art, music & film, plays guitar & bass & is most known for his charm & wit. Then there's The Effn. Hot headed & Conceited with little to no regard for anything other than himself with a mouth that tends to get them all in trouble. There's also The GangLeader, A Street kid raised by various Thugs, Hoodlums & Gangbangers. Along with The Effn, The GangLeader is known for giving them all a bad reputation. The Avenue Kid is a 15 year old revolutionary child prodigy. Leaving High School for Higher Education he's well studied in a wide range of fields from History & Culture to Poly Sci but, at the current moment he seems to be enthralled in the study of The Chaos Theory. Although known for being a smart aleck, He's most known for rambling off useless information about the most random subjects at the most appropriate or inappropriate times. Most of them get along most of the time because they are all fighting for the same thing... The Destruction of Normal.



Performing at a Dirty Hollywood is always fun. It reminds me of the old Drunken Unicorn shows I performed on like Fuggin Awesome and Thi!nK N3w... when there was an energetic crowd, A stage full of prima donnas & Yelawolf was hanging upside down from the beams on the ceiling. The energy felt good. Boredom had to feel the asswhoopin' I dropped on it that night.



THIS IS A WAR ON ALL THINGS NORMAL. The enemy's most powerful weapons are Common & Regular. People, please protect your minds. Be Different. Think New. Boredom is the Devil!



Be entertained. Join the fight to enjoy life! Stop being controlled by Mass Communication. Why find enjoyment only in the things that we are told we should enjoy? Why not seek out the things that bring us joy for ourselves? Do you enjoy my music? Have you ever seen a live performance? Have you watched my videos? Do you follow me on Facebook or Twitter? Learn the Freakin Words!!! Everybody Sing!!! If you came to be Boring then you are a soldier for the Normal army. I will destroy you.



Wake Up!!! We are under constant attack. Our most valuable possession is our time. Use it wisely. SSK
