<p><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Babakar went out to the country with his horse Amadou. He was going for forty days to fast and meditate. He only brought enough provisions to last 40 days eating at a predetermined rate. He allowed only a small amount a day. Most of what he took with him was dried fruit and peanuts. He knew how to procure water out in the country so he did not take large amount as it would be too heavy and he did not wish to burden his horse with the load. Of course he also had plenty of food with him for Amadou…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/the-lives-of-the-headwhiz-consort/blog/6058041/40-days">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Vladimir was breathing heavily as he pumped the pedals of his bike. He was riding up a very steep hill outside his home town near the Estonian border. He was riding off a heavy night of drinking. He and some of his band mates had gone out and drank a large amount of vodka over an average period of time. His head hurt a little as he got to about the half way point on the hill. He wanted to sweat. Whenever he would sweat after drinking he always felt better and the more he sweat the…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/the-lives-of-the-headwhiz-consort/blog/6058037/riding-off-the-vodka">Read more</a></span></div>

Babakar Wade was walking up the street enjoying the cold as it was such a different thing from the country of Senegal. He was inclined to revel abundantly in the snow to the point where he was often looked at as odd by others who lived in Cleveland and for whom the cold was a scourge to be dealt with rather than celebrated.

<p>Again I set off with my friend Babakar. The Headwhiz album is getting close to completion but once again a trip I had planned came up so this time I just went ahead and suggested Babakar go with me. As we’d had a blast last September I figured we might try it again. This time we were heading to the Gulf of Mexico on the Alabama coast. My Dad and step mom used to winter there and I had always loved the atmosphere.

This was good the sun was at our back. Babakar had agreed to join me. I’d had a trip to the Badlands of South Dakota planned. Initially I had asked PV to go but he couldn’t. Not enough vacation time.
