Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

FRIDAY FUNK PT. 2: Glenn Beck needs to listen to "The HereNow"
In basic terms, our song “The HereNow” is about living in the Present moment. Enjoying the era. Appreciating every instance we are blessed enough to experience. What happens when you’re not in the HereNow? You’re on Fox News wishing it was still the early 80′s, when people carried Word documents in 3″x5″ floppy disks and most Americans thought a Filipino was a kind of screwdriver tip (most Americans probably still think a Filipino is a kind of screwdriver tip (they’re not)).
“WHERE HAVE ALL THE SIMPLER TIMES GONE???” asks professional derriere, Glenn Beck. You know, those days when I could be openly homophobic at the WWF Smackdown bleachers without Jake the Snake going Dink and Doink on me. When I could buy Pepsi, except clear, except not 7-Up. When I could eat my Oriental salads in peace without the Disgrasian girls laying the David Carradine on me. Those simpler days.
Yes, it’s true. Glenn Beck is in a funk. A Friday Funk. But worry not, Glenny-boy (sorry, that’s a horrible nickname…I’m rushing to finish this post so I can get to Fahamu‘s show). This current era of change and innovation and oppressive economic institutions crumbling will soon be over. We can soon go back to the good ol’ days from your pleasant past that you recall. How do I know? Because Glenn Beck told me so.
Just don’t give up.
ps: yo, i’m trying to hit up one of those “parties i’m not supposed to be at” TONIGHT!! sounds hella crackin.
