There’s this thing going around. Tributes to talent. Made me think... What’s a tribute? Like a tributary? That’s water, right? The way we flow. Anyway. I’m over here blowing up a raft. Manually. And I’m about outta breath. So yeah. This guy. Blizz O. Where I come from, a blizzo would be that white fluffy shit blowing sideways in sub-zero temperatures. We’d call that a blizzo. Then pull up at the DQ and order a Nut Whip. Because that’s what they were called. Back in the day. Don’t look at me. Times change. Anyway... I can’t go that fast. This guy’s like the Tasmanian Devil. He just... GOES. I think he earned that O. Blizz— O. Oh. Oh. OH. Watch him go. And no, I am NOT throwing down some copycat act. Because y’all would be like... What. The fuck. Was that? I’m staying in my lane. Because I’m lame. Apparently I lost my game. Girl, don’t even start with that. I’ve got movies to remember wrong and conspiracies to unpack. Give me Fast Times. Gone in Sixty Seconds. Fast & Furious. Throw a little Ricky Bobby in there. If you ain’t first... well... shit. You ain’t first. Pretty sure that’s how it went. But there’s something else about the Big Blizz. O. I think he’s hiding something. Because why you gotta move that damn fast? You got a rip in your shorts or something? Something chasing you? Or maybe... those crescent moons aren’t moons at all. Maybe they’re the Cheshire Cat. Hiding in the tree. Grinning. Watching all of this. Maybe that need for speed isn’t really about going fast. Maybe he moves that fast so the rest of us slow the fuck down. Pay attention. Listen harder. Try to catch what almost went by. What we might have missed. Huh. Tributary. Maybe I wasn’t that far off. Different streams. Same water. Everybody bringing something into the flow. So yeah. I’ll give this guy his moment in it. Blizz O. But I think there’s more there. More to know. Actually... I know. But I’m not telling. I’m just gonna listen. I hear you all. There’s room in my raft. Just... give me a minute. I’m still outta breath watching Fast. ... Probably remembered that movie wrong too.
