pjd + @pjdmusic pjd is a Nyack-born American-Haitian nonbinary writer, graphic designer, music producer and rapper who resides in Brooklyn, New York. What influenced him to rap was through writing short stories that centered around cartoons, anime, and video games. Prior to his finishing high school, he took an interest in poetry and experimented with free verse and other conventional Eastern and Western poetic forms like the sestina, the ghazal, the ballad, and the sonnet. pjd's lyricism is characterized as introspective, didactic and resonant that is blended in with an instrumentality that is ambient, spacious, aloof, and universal.

ill never forget the time when a krayzie bone stan threatened to shoot me with a gun when he put my name on it after i told dude to listen to someone else (jokingly btw) and i wasnβt even in my twenties yet.
with reference to the woman who tried to kill rihanna, there are games based on the parasocial relationships people have manifested about other people and the fact that theyβre willing to go lengths to murder you to affirm their obsession.
incoming the sanism/ableism posts from rihanna stans regarding parasocial relationships with herβcompletely missing the point about why the deification of celebrities needs to die
if youβve read this thread all the way to this point, thanks for reading. just been processing and decompressing this.
one thing my friend was telling me before the appointment was that for any and all meetings with doctors i should audio record my interactions with them (should anything go amiss.) definitely going with that advice in mind going forward.
the cluster headaches, which i believed were connected to the cyst (were more or less unrelated to it) but he explained that they seem to happen within months to a year at a time and to move forward with a plan to know to better navigate them.
he did advise, however, that in the event that i start to notice symptoms like loss of vision, nausea, (being able to stand?) to give him a call and that the next time iβd need an MRI is within a year.
had my appointment with the neurosurgeon earlier today. it
went fairly smoothly. i had a friend accompany me which was great. that man showed me the brain MRI and in laymanβs terms with 99% of patients he gets, rarely do they undergo surgery and my shit was normal.
