Over Shadowing Narcissus
Over Shadowing Narcissus
– On Black Reflectivity
I. And Sleep Defeated Blindness
"Then Doondari created blindness and blindness defeated man.
But when blindness became too proud,
Doondari created sleep, and sleep defeated blindness;
But when sleep became too proud,
Doondari created worry, and worry defeated sleep;
But when worry became too proud,
Doondari created death, and death defeated worry.
But when death became too proud,
Doondari descended for the third time,
And he came as Gueno, the eternal one
And Gueno defeated death."
– Fulani Myth
i don't always see myself in black movies.
what feels like hip hop to you – notorious?
straight out of compton? belly? the get down?
luke cage? for me, it's the art of rap.
dear black people,
when do you feel represented? how can you know you are seen? daily, i question the value of my time- certainly
less than oprah's. i didn't grow up in a black house – or a white one, really. placing my identity in the rorschach
on the wall.
cue narcissus, transcendence of living echo over gristle and plasma – begging the question: did Biggie really die?
i'm sayin – are you an artist or a black artist. man or a feminist. liberal, democrat, independent – nah. peeping afro
-centric cinema recently – black films didn't always feel like me – before the ruckus, lemme clarify. i got all the love
for spike, even when i can't always make the journey – but there have been real serious gaps in my education.
here's the thing – i never watched Roots. somehow 12 hours of whips and chains felt pretty optional, most negroes
seem to have indoctrinated their children in the flickering light of our limited representation – my mother showed me
the Wiz. blaxploitation, i sought out on my own, but a lot of nigga picture shows struck me as hastily, slapped together.
cosby & in living color, two shows with elements of black production scattered across screens of my childhood, reading
rainbow echoes faintly in the background – i wasn't raised on tv, catching moments where i could, two and a half decades
projecting my own energy towards hollywood, from a distance i can't argue as particularly safe.
a black story that represented me, seeking glimpses of myself as one of Ocean's eleven- cuz cheadle can do no wrong.
never been black enough to see myself as Bernie Mac. i put on petey green's documentary to witness a vision of the district
as it could have been – marion disappointed us and chuck brown never went global – petey stood up johnny carson and kept
it in the 202.
levar burton humming – butterfly in the sky, i can identify with your purgatory of transformation.
film editors sculpt story from abstraction, sight and sound combine to trick the mind. judy garland's minstrel scenes struck me
as a perfect mascot for the spirit of hollywood. take what you want and leave the rest. and al jolson's dim inverted gaze. amos
and andy as a funhouse mirror, distorting perspective and obfuscating the progress of african elevation.
optics of the channel fox, as we pretend Dionne was any more woke than stacey dash.
it's a 90s thing, you wouldn't understand. that's so Jim Crow– shout out to a disney dumbo? we grew up in the nick of time –
to see keenan divorce kel on his rise to saturday night. but all the black stories on snl got twisted. and we keep on dreaming:
if hannibal could do it, so can i.
Buress was the vortex who reclaimed cosby's identity, refracting all the lightest coverage of the news into a narrative so dark,
we could no longer look away. ben carson in the limelight, throwing shade. i listened to shep gordon describe how he shut
down the chitlin circuit, apparently alone – with a deathwish and a client list.
i never ever wanted to watch the Gods must be crazy. & i straight up do not understand what tyler perry is doing. i don't
fucking get it. but somebody loves that shit. i mean shit, people loved lost and the walking dead. my theory- that honest
representations of black fictional identity tend to demonstrate more sophisticated acting technique. then again, spike lee put
himself in his own films an awful lot in the 90s, which makes sense – to cut the budget, or make out with rosie perez.
i've been attempting to trace out the chiaroscuro of black identity in popular american culture.
there is a dinka tale of mortality – how a high god cut our coil connecting life and death, when a greedy farmer wounded his eye
with her hoe. try unpacking that. i've tasted the flavor of MTV and i don't think it was love. call me crazy – i can only get with
dear white people, while i'm getting head. that's the only time it makes sense. riddle me this – if Luke Cage is bullet proof, then
why all those plot holes? did soul food nourish you? How Real are the Husbands of Hollywood? where's my love jones for Love
& Basketball? why doesn't my heart beat for kevin's ebony empire? where am i located on the spectrum, channeling film and
television upwards of twelve hours per day.
i grew up in living color but my favorite wayans performance was in requiem for a dream. kevin spacey in 2000 was an american
beauty, but his performance couldn't touch marlon's. go back, rewatch & tell me different. the projections of tinseltown, like some
Luyia myth- a chameleon, cursing us with death.
"nobody told me death was so damn fine," quoth the poet Dante (Smith), roming this land to witness his Brooklyn inferno.
"my umi says shine your light on the world… for the world to see … for black people to be free". ad infinitum. BET's shallow
reflection, reminiscent of a compact mirror – occasionally captured fractals of our diasporic lineage.
then again, if there was an academy award for titles – i would have had to cast a vote for Black Snake Moan.
sho nuff. bumping metal fingers on the way to catch the Man with the Iron Fist (as opposed to episode six of the – white –
Iron Fist, directed by Robert Diggs for Netflix) it seemed like RZA had hacked the galaxy. i was less sure what to think on
my way out of the theater. certain sources i only approach with skepticism, but music television struck a chord with Hustle &
Flow – every so often, hip hop in cinema echoes my origin story as a master of ceremonies – i never really battle rapped; but
my crew felt the hunger of marshall on the 8 mile, straining to escape the shadow of obscurity.
to be continued…
On Black Reflectivity
– Over Shadowing Narcissus
II. Feather of Anubis
A Declaration Of Innocence Before 42 Gods:
"I have not defiled a god.
I have not worsened the lot of an orphan.
I have not done what the gods detest.
I have not calumniated a servant to his master.
I have not caused either pain or hunger.
I have not brought forth tears.
I have not killed.
I have not commanded to kill.
I have not caused anyone sorrow."
– book of coming forth by day
Osiris stole Anubis' crown of death and left Anubis weighing truth against a feather
as we, the living, walk our Famished Road– shout out to okri. here, i am -watching
queen sugar, contemplating the fabric of my existence. summer light is on and life is
precious. Gabby Sidibe took sapphire's story and ran with it. i could not figure out a
reason to watch Precious. some of these stories call me back to the spoken word era
and our exploitation of tragedy – who are these stories for? am i missing something?
i heard the media response to Push's film adaptation & i'm all for Netflix & Depression
but i've never had a friend suggest we watch the film. i did see Antwone Fisher. certain
films aren't optional- Denzel dipping back into an ancient well; raising his bucket from
a deep pool, illuminated by the sky. i heard a story about Amistad, Djimon Hounsou
sitting somewhere on a curb in paris – ashes to classy, from squalor to success.
and i got mad love for steve mcqueen, but my friend said his movie killed her mom. 30
Rock had a plotline where tracy jordan won an oscar for his starring role in a film called
Hard to Watch. we streamed 12 years over broken wi-fi in the kitchen, but i kept leaving
the room. black history is american history – these stories are for all of us.
but do i need to watch a white man's version of my history? narcissus' self reflection,
stirring up dirt – muddying perspective like the pregnant pause between Nate Parker's
rape accusations and the birth of a nation. nothing compelled me to attend the premiere
of 50 years a Butler. with a black man in the white house, i couldn't see the Forest for
the trees. "2016 on the curb of 1600 light up a burning bush". they legalized weed in
the district but we could have had bernie sanders. i was born in the march like selma, in
shadows of our capitol- under threat of capital punishment. films about the civil rights
era tend to get a spit shine, but i prefer my bio pics with dirt under their fingernails.
Boycott. JFK. i couldn't sit through all the black power mixtapes, but those nordic
documentarians distilled the alchemy of our struggle. i sampled angie davis and
switched back to edward thomas hardy. hasan minhaj just hosted the correspondence
dinner and he wrecked shop in donny's absence. but watching keegan michael translate
president obama's anger in two thousand fifteen transcended reality for me.
there were as many africans drowned in the atlantic from triangular trade as jews lost
in the holocaust. But we had obama in the oval office, barack between two ferns &
barry O dropping nigga bombs on WTF. Larry Wilmore lost his job for that shit in '16.
i always dug the concept, but was torn about what sometimes felt like high-yellow
respectability. last year, he held up a barber shop mirror of our brotherhood to the
edges on his closing line, but he scared off the white folks at comedy central.
we were waiting on Key and Peele to make a film, from season one. i saw keanu as black
neutral on a clear day, like the sky over a lake at the family picnic. a flavor like clean
water – cool, refreshing with no after taste. it went down easy, but i can barely remember.
dan harmon theorized ICE T as a crystalline elemental spirit. what's cooler than being cool?
i could never decide how i felt about idlewild. but nobody would finish this essay if i said
i'd never seen Friday. i ain't got a job, i ain't got nothing to do & it's thursday – i should see
that shit again tomorrow. i really need to get some DVDs- you can find them, scratched, at
goodwill- for a couple dollars each; or a better way to bootleg. cumulatively, i must have
spent entire seasons inside of movie theaters, getting drunk, fucking- even toking herb,
waiting for the next token black actor to appear, and – often- die.
boyz n the hood. menace II society. i can't remember which is which – blame the wayans:
Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, actually
holds up shockingly well. hip hop, remixing itself into a vision beyond the boundaries
of our block. i was blessed to see Chappelle's show at Lincoln Theater for my eighteenth
birthday and i knew something was happening that i could never lose. i saw my self on
that stage, as he laid on his back and gazed up towards the balcony.
that spotlight shown like dumbledore's mirror, illuminating the path i wanted most to follow.
i went to see Sleight, based on a facebook ad, tracking my interests and likes to guide what
ever dollar's in my pocket back home to the corporations where it, apparently, belongs.
they had me cold. do you ever feel that your phone may be reading your mind?
Sleight was a windshield, clearing space for a black story not bound by whiteness, or desperate
to escape from it. we can be our own heroes and demons- with a mirror facing backwards, but
both eyes on the road. i didn't want to write a thinkpiece on Get Out – that shit was a cinematic
essay; Jordan said everything he needed to say. them crackers thanked him for taking their money,
but we knew who the film was for- a musical jewelry box, eerily playing out the shadows, reflecting
on some gem that time may have forgotten.
do the right thing. the invisible man. beasts of no nation. dogfight. the wire. go tell it on the mountain –
slivers of a broken mirror, pieces of our story- they called it bad luck, but we carry our history with us &
it still cuts deep. i stare up at moonlight, down at the motion of light in water – discovering disparate
elements of my own cultural composition. we human beings are made of water, slowly drying up over
time, til we all eventually crumble. "i didn't know you liked to get wet."
i went from bourgeous to homeless, in the way of the prince & the pauper- a black artist in the cacophony,
like eric andre, destroying whatever i've set up around myself, broadcasting on the wavelength of a cartoon;
til the set returns to black, reflecting everything else in the room. David Bowie named his last record Blackstar
and I wonder what Mos Def thinks of that. the first time i heard sinead o'connor, nobody told me whose song
she was singing. memory can be funny like that. but, next time you're on youtube – look up what etta james
did to prince rogers nelson's masterpiece: a tear might fall in lucid puddles of the purple rain.

Kool Hand Herc
smoke billows in my mind when i remember the sound of classic jazz, hip hop
or R&B – most of my favorites can't be found in the top 40. but when i woke up
in sixth grade, radio jams would include some of the greatest of all time: jeeps the
lex coups the beamers and the benz echoes through sub woofers in my cerebellum.
'member usher's footwork in that first video like damn– i felt the foot steps of my
virginity walking away. meanwhile, jigga still sitting on jay elec's debut and i'ma
keep bumping joey bad til the cows come home & settle remy ma's beef.
remy kinda lost it. i have to be honest tho- 75% of lyricists don't interest me. straight
up, i don't entirely differentiate between emcees and comics. if you don't believe me,
come thru the roast battle on thursday. everybody i know here straight out of fucks to
give, homie. for what? not for nothing, but i watched capital steez smile, taking shots
at the based god & remembered days when i had more on the line. right now, i can't
think of nothing i need more than a black messiah. so when i receive photographs of
my friend's slashed wrists i think back to the roots of Water & How I Got Over– cuz
music makes me high when alcohol seems to fail me. i remember when i used to
believe – now it's difficult to stick around in rooms of excessive sincerity, especially
when i've heard most of the motifs and metaphors before: i pass around my number
hoping for a surprise inspiration; but i know it comes off as desperation. truth, i am
desperate – hopeful i may feel something unfamiliar, like interest in this current
moment (or the next). i'm down with slim k slowdown and the maad city but ya boy
more oriented towards flow. a nigga still waiting on monch's record, even though i
can never really spell the brother's name. pharoahe lives. i'm still thinking on how
abdul kenyatta asked me –what's changed. the old heads are all i wanna listen to now-
old friends are all i have time for. motherfuckers keep praising timberlake but on the
real – gimme them diamonds in the back. i will say this about kendrick- i haven't heard
jay z get so passionate in years as he did on the freaking Vibe remix.
i'm saying tho- i been out the circuit a lil bit. i ain't heard the new blackalicious, Meow
the Jewels or what's going on with Native Tongues. pretty sure Shadow dropped some
thing recently, i ain't gotten my hands on. forgive me for chasing the past- i'm finna
figure out what the fuck Bronze Naz has been up to. by which i mean to suggest: ya boy
isn't really a Drizzy fan. no offense or whatever. i won't be able to care too much about
gambino or Bronson (RIP) until the Roc releases a couple Badu and Jay Elec collabs.
until then, i'm reminiscing on some family jams – erykah/3000, and whatever Ms Hill
got going on. cuz, the dopest emcees i heard in a minute stay mad underutilized in San
Jose, or slumber in the cut working most days in Oakland. i been around this nation; i've
heard the millionaires and town heroes; so i project with confidence which of these rappers
and stand ups may get the best shot. and i wish white folks would represent a little more –
the truth is, we need some prophets for these race wars. case in point: some of these legends
have stayed a little quiet. i'm here, waiting on the Trumpslayer to lead us home. shout out to
Cate Gary. i heard a little kid threw something at trump's motorcade. everybody draws their
own line. after waiting for the return of Jon Stewart, hoping for Obama's third term, thinking
Trevor Noah might save us- after congratulating Baldwin for his contribution on Saturday
Night; at some point, we have to recognize true revolutionary acts must come from us.
Cornel West is still speaking, Mumia still on Death Row and it's on us. Chance the Rapper
buying tickets to Get Out like a mini lottery, Cheadle taking his shots where he can, but it's
still on us. And ya nigga's rusty, my sound equipment's busted but we out here trying. i hear
vicious political analysis over stale beers in random dive bars & some days i can't tell who's
winning these culture wars but here we are.
i am so sick of shrinking myself down to fit inside a fucking cell phone. straining thru
the cracks to watch a victorious sound byte, bootlegging special FX over stolen WiFi.
apple tells me i can't listen to music i made, as i slalom flagged emails from youtube over
sampled content – i used to admire graf artists; because, every word they write is illegal.
in 2017, half my thoughts are probably against the law. i considered joining the military,
not sure what my other options were – i've daydreamed of artist grants – honestly, i can't
believe in anything more than the impulse of an unknown.
henry darger's closet, stacked with an illustrated manifesto of his tortured mind; fiona
apple locked inside a hotel room, penning her Criminal masterpiece, Poe coughing up
blood on his manuscript. Andre screaming, "all of my heroes did dope" … i've pored
over the words of jimi hendrix seeking the cursive lines between genius and obsession
and all i can figure, from Hedberg, Ledger and Lucas is it's possible for an artist to
outlive his brilliance. then again, since the millennium it doesn't matter – they'll dig you
up like vinyl crates and resurrect you as a hologram if necessary. in 2017, Hip Hop
manifests as time capsule, ballot polemic, nostalgic polaroid and pop culture motif.
but the last time i met an emcee on the street, he tried to sell his CD & forgot to rhyme.
i spend my days in empty bars, where piss has overtaken ash and cigarette smoke as the dominant odor. god forbid a bar
should smell of beer. people ask what i do for a living. favors, mostly. i've heard speculation that somebody switched the
envelope on warren beatty, just before he handed off responsibility to faye. the oscars have been white since cinema was
filmed in greyscale. what moonlight thru yonder ceiling breaks? twenty seventeen is the era of black love. i heard an OG
ask why an award matters- some comic called out subjectivity- chance got the grammy; i been bumping joey bad all day.
and, um, white folks have been kind of busy. this is what i hear. caucasians be doing the most- just real productive, lately.
i kind of figured on Four Years A Nap; but i guess i better get on some of this cracker energy. i best be making moves.
what do i think of cosby and nate parker & the kimmel jokes regarding diasporic nomenclature ? i'll be 33 in two weeks:
same age as christ, when he died. i tell jokes in dead rooms: sammy davis, jimi hendrix and bob marley walk into a bar…
here's why it matters – i want black film makers making as many films as possible. and i'm not talking about epic homages
to the historical plight of negroes. i ain't asking for nigga tales and bio pics. gimme stories of black love, glowing like moon
light amid the alabaster day. and all that jazz. what do i think? i've been grinding on the fringes of show business for too
long to believe entirely in accidental PR opportunities. what do i think? james kimmel told the cast of La La Land to grab
the gold and run. we're still living in the shadowlands of tinsel town. plucking strings and bussing tables at the cotton club.
i've been wandering my neighborhood on foot, peering down alleyways and into bars or galleries- encased in brick, mortar
and glass; considering new orleans, contemplating summer on stages, clubs & couches all around new york. i have nothing
better to do than support the revolutionary love of black artists. the other day, i met a man- who played with fela kuti- who
was looking for a venue, which i mentioned to my friend. i've read semi esoteric mormon science fiction which suggested
that the bonds of love are not just metaphorical but sub atomic. stephen hawking implied there could still be pockets in our
universe of magic from the origin of life. donald trump is president and we're still here. i read an article comparing jokes
from this year's oscars, as opposed to last year- without mentioning that Chris Rock hosted in 2016. people still keep
straining to stay color blind; meanwhile the streets are running red: 2017 to me has felt the fascist overtones so many spoke
on during Cheney's second term, before he shot somebody in the face. and you know donald was jealous, cuz he brought it
up – although Donald may not be the hunting type. Trump prefers to shoot somebody in the middle of the street – preferably
in New York. Shit, he didn't even want to leave new york to live in the most famous house in the world, possibly because
they wouldn't let him put his name on it. Do I Believe In Accidents? how magical that La La Land's dream sequence could
extend a little bit farther into the spotlight: how long can you tell a story before it has become the truth? often, the arithmetic
of 3/5 person hood echoes to remind us we aren't fully people – it's rare i hear somebody mention what the tally was for; black
mark underscoring the opinion of a landowning white man. you may have heard of him – he sits on the electoral college, on
the board of directors writing memos to lobbyists; he chooses whose name goes in the envelope at the oscars- pens across maps, gerrymanders districts and decides which healthcare we can afford. here's where y'all have it twisted – moonlight is not important
cuz it won an oscar. moonlight was too important not to win- they won before the venue was scheduled. here's something about
art – you can burn a book or ban a film, but we remember. half the tuxes went back the next day; meanwhile black love keeps
on raging like the great Chicago fire, like devil's night – like the blaze of los angeles in sixtyfive and 92, like the fire of
Prometheus who must have come from africa, like all of us, like the griots tending the ancient flames across pangea. bless.
straight outta geneva
this negro dreams of the benefit of the doubt. i bet it tastes like ice cream.
a few weeks back in portland – towards the end of summer heat – i ducked into a pub.
i'd guess i had a twenty on me. far as i'm concerned, water is a human right. i've been
known to invoke eleanor roosevelt, debating away dehydration at a lunch counter.
i asked for a pint of ice, because i'm a prima donna. when i could breathe again,
i returned the glass and thanked the woman. she glanced nervously at the corn fed
all-american across the bar, then looked back at me, and said "don't steal the glass".
my standard move would be to burn this mother down. i went with 'fuck it'. like, i don't
even want to be here. i need to get my Baldwin on. James. two years ago, on greyhound,
i read an announcement from the UN. well, i mean – they don't send me announcements.
i read an article Straight Outta Geneva.
i want to get the fuck out of here. last week the UN came back with a remix.
i'm paraphrasing – this shit hit me like a banger – United Nations, speaking my language.
hit a nigga wit a birthright. Who Wanna Be A.A. Millionaire. 100 acres & Eeyore. this
shit has me depressed, dog. i barely give a fuck if i get shot half the time. supposedly,
this is the Obsessive element of Pure OCD. fixating on negative outcomes. that all sounds
part & parcel of hereditary depression; but it's arguably more tactful to call out diasporic
PTSD. either way, i want to move to Amsterdam. so here's my theory – holla if ya hear me
– i require refugee status. but i would settle for a mandatory minimum income. days ago,
i read about the Rauschenberg Foundation. an artist grant for one hundred thousand dollars
over two years, dedicated to dismantling mass incarceration. my friend, who's probably
exhausted from lending me cash, suggested i submit a proposal. there's got to be somebody
better suited. unless y'all want to rebuild Garvey's Ark. i went to an open mic wednesday at
the Revolution Cafe, in the lower bottoms of west oakland. i used to chill there all time (after
the bedbugs, before the robbery). my shit's been falling apart for a while.
the Revolution got sold and re-envisioned – by New Panthers, recalling oakland's militant
legacy. their open mic, dimly lit and smoke filled, was everything you could ask of a venue,
excepting an audience and six feet of mic cable. before we got to the list, somebody threw
on instrumentals and called down the soul. it's been a while since i felt like an emcee.
i never got to flaunt my niggas in paris. touring with a crew gets expensive as fuck – plus
equipment costs. that's half the reason i'm pretending stand up comedy is a career. littering
breadcrumbs across the superhighway, calling out from obscurity. when you cross a bridge,
do you ever hear the call to jump? i can't stop diagnosing myself – sex addiction, autism, ADD.
Depression. germophobia. Pure O. washing my hands until they bleed.
i need anxiety medication. or a living wage. i want a ticket to geneva. when i moved to
portland, i told myself i wouldn't leave until i'd burned every bridge. my family is obtuse
as fuck. or does every wedding become a grudge match? i've learned to leave a room like
punctuation; the last time i got dumped, i wound up on a bus. these lower bottom cafe
revolutionaries told me we have an obligation to stay and fight. they recited their platform,
with out space for interruption – it kind of felt like i was in a cult. but, every time i find
my way down to a rally, all anyone can talk about is the protest next week. my liberation
peers out from shadows like the viet cong. i joke about wanting to kick off the race wars,
only because it's so clear they're raging on. i'm hearing frantic, whispered conversations;
searching for chris dorner – listing off murdered witnesses, recounting our laments for
the dead. i'm thinking suicide by cop could be an option. wondering who left that pillow
on Scalia's face. with Republicans predicting armageddon and Palahniuk rebooting project
mayhem – i'm bumping Bone N Biggie, "let's ride, let's ride, let's ride, let's ride – get high".
ten. a.m.
this room is in shambles and i can never keep the lenses of my glasses from blurring
& fog. my hands feel a bit better at the moment, which could possibly be the best i get.
i'm ready for another blunt. when i woke up, there was no alcohol around; no stores
were open and i hadn't gone to bed drunk last night. i used to enjoy rolling blunts, like
the opening notes of a Luniz track – you knew what was coming next – today i am not
what i was yesterday. people keep telling me to keep writing which – meant as an
encouragement, at the least demonstrates an unfamiliarity. my second ex wife said
the same, somewhat recently – for the same reason i have been drinking; to remain un
familiar. my drugs haven't been working, time to change them. i decided to keep a diary.
blunt 1- it's my birthday, i couldn't think of anything but champagne and citrus when i
woke, mimosas are my primary hydration oftentimes. by the time i got back from the
store for a third time, without success- the blunt was already burning. matt lillard keeps
trying to act like a normal person onscreen, which always disappoints me. i miss the old
lillard, tongue wagging and eyes ablaze, inked up- raving and ranting across salt lake
city, cyberspace & the landscape of suburban horror. i'm living my dream life and i want
to die less than i used to- i have a joke about this, about quantum and the fear of mortality.
eventually, we do what works. i was reading today about how black men fail to ride for our
women- and i had to think back on all the ways i haven't managed to look out and protect
the concerns of my community. i've spent the last decade looking for loopholes in capitalism
and usually it's the folks furthest away who appreciate me the most. wonder what that means.
that first blunt took the edge off, blur of tobacco- wet eyed, unprepared. music drifts around me
as i consider the steps Linking me, like Zelda, down the path of an adventure i seem to have
chosen. years ago, i mapped out five goals and realized – years later – they had all technically
come true. recently, my goals are less defined and as nebulously qualified. the pot still works.
waxing philosophically, craving that mimosa as my only source of fruit and water. do you ever
sit for hours, wanting to move- reaching out from within your mind but unable to articulate the
wail rising unspoken through your spine? some days i clutch my phone and stare, knowing a
monosyllable i left in someone's text box will be mistaken for indifference- other times i have to
ask myself why i can't muster the appropriate emotional response to trauma. i've been talking
friends down from suicide for years- perhaps the secret is i want it just as much as them.
mimosa one – i've become obsessive with regard to freezers, multi layered frozen drinks for
art and sustenance. you can skip this ad in 3 seconds. here we go- if you chill a pint glass for
half an hour, your beer will be the best you can imagine. i leave mine in for weeks at a time-
rinse as needed. sometimes i leave two inches of water to freeze beneath my beer, it looks
pretty cool: i've watched water freeze as it runs down the side of my glass. when i go to pour
the mimosa, i lose time for a second and spill it all over the counter and down the cabinets.
i do pretty much what i want, but sometimes it's up to gravity. after cleaning the mimosa, i end
up craving a second blunt almost immediately – maybe, just to know i can. mimosa back in the
freezer – i roll one up and watch lillard lose his mind. citrus is my motherfucker – fools don't know
about mimosas … i know how to drink them properly. the champagne has to be practically frozen.
sometimes i end up covered in champagne froth, the timing is delicate but completely worthwhile.
perfectly chilled champagne, with a hint of pineapple and approximately one third orange juice
is freaking inarguable. i also invented a vodka cocktail and a warm drink called Sweet Mary's
Vagina. i've been fairly productive, i guess.
years back, i was in san francisco at this coffee shop and i asked for pineapple juice. the barista
laughed and told me about some movie i had never seen. long story short, she hinted that i must
have fairly appetizing semen. i didn't get it until later. supposedly, she's dating her boss. i should
start another business.
blunt number two i tasted briefly and then snubbed it out. i'm on youtube, cursing their algorithm
out, demanding deep cuts. a glass pipe lays out on the bed, along with this freaking campfire
lighter and a white midget bic, plus the game controller, some napkins and wrapping papers. no
sheet. i haven't had an actual lighter in about a week. one i can use with young arthritic fingers.
lit the blunt again and it's gone, oedenkirk rhapsodically philosophizing w/ tompkins over whiskey
on his webseries. i have to leave soon for this podcast, thinking about what's going well and what
isn't. letting things go. at some point matthew lillard said some bullshit about how easy it is to make
time for a child, which seemed disingenuous. i'm feeling pretty good but i can tell the high is fading.
it's 10AM.

Hello Typophiles,
Can you please help me in my search for a couple of Simplified Chinese language fonts called STXiHei and STXiHei BOLD. Apparently they were shipped with some versions of Windows, but am having trouble pinning down a location where they can be purchased.
One of our customers requires the fonts for their document composition system. PCTT is the desired format.

Toward a New Epistemology Through an Accessible Language
By Anthony Rosner, PhD, LLD [Hon.], LLC
"There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
Is this verbal sleight-of-hand the way some of us might regard research - as irrelevant or even something to be distrusted? Actually, this verbal gem is the direct quotation of the U.S.Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, when asked to comment upon the progress of the war on terror.1
The opacity of this statement notwithstanding, it does demonstrate how words can conceal as well as communicate effectively - and this now becomes the challenge to researchers in all fields, extending well beyond chiropractic alone.
The gold standard of research efforts is to communicate succinctly and unambiguously in a manner meant to stimulate further thought and inquiry. In a perfect world, this is sort of like creating a progressive canvas in which all qualified and interested contributors would be expected to add an important dimension or detail over time. In terms of health care, this would mean an incremental, steady and continual improvement with greater efficiency and less cost overall, and the absence of debilitating turf battles.
In an imperfect world, of course, we have seen the opposite - and this also extends well beyond chiropractic. Medical history is rife with examples demonstrating how our ability to adapt is sometimes measured in geological time:
But knowledge can be transmitted and received effectively, which is where our efforts at FCER come into play. I was fortunate enough to live up to this ideal recently by making use of my recent findings and those of several others4 to the effect that elevations of the amino acid homocysteine cause the disruption of the collagen and elastin matrix of the arterial wall, and thus could be a major factor in producing a major portion of the arterial dissections believed to be attributable to spinal manipulation.5-10 Specifically, I jumped all over a recent article that appeared in the journal Stroke over the summer which described a high-resolution echo-tracking system for demonstrating that carotid arteries in patients experiencing cervical artery dissections display abnormal elastic properties.11 I suspected that the authors would enjoy hearing about homocysteine, and I was dead right. This led to my being able to present my data in person in November 2004 before a group of neurologists and research personnel at the Hopital Europeen Georges Pompidou - a major teaching hospital in Paris that opened in 2002. By speaking in neutral terms and sharing data which showed that idiopathic cervical artery dissections appeared to occur at rates approximately 10 times those attributable to spinal manipulation4 and proposing mechanisms of arterial wall disaggregation involving homocysteine, I received a fantastic reception. Thirty-five minutes of presentation followed by another 30 minutes of discussion, with all manner of experiments proposed to be undertaken by staff members present in the months ahead.
But this was just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out that my host in Paris, Stephane Laurent, is deeply interested in alternative medical approaches and has previously published studies which demonstrate that real acupuncture is associated with an objective vasodilation of the radial artery in patients who are regularly exposed to acupuncture, perhaps by decreasing smooth muscle tone at the artery site. Interestingly enough, this effect is only observed in patients previously exposed to acupuncture and not in individuals experiencing this for the first time.12 Dr. Laurent points out that while such French government funding sources as the CNRS and INSERM currently take a dim (okay, opaque) view upon funding research in areas of alternative medicine, private sources have been able to enable some of this research to continue.
Obviously, there are lessons to be learned here as we attempt to broaden the support of chiropractic research both in the United States and worldwide. From this experience, I am heartened to see that the goals being pursued by this French group and the chiropractic research community are far more similar than one would have first imagined without closer review.
It may get better yet. I was informed that my discussion might have opened the door for fruitful discussions and collaborations between this hospital group and chiropractic researchers in Paris. Without a doubt, I will be monitoring this situation closely, and participating as both a collaborator and administrator should a fundable project come to pass. Obviously, when groups can sit down and communicate in this manner and see a large common interest, our task becomes so much easier. If this were the rule, rather than the exception, research, guideline development, and best practice procedures would all progress at rates many times more rapidly. Obviously, this is the course we both need and wish to follow in FCER and in many chiropractic research groups and conferences around the world - whether ICSM, WFC, ACC, or RAC. Our objective here is to cultivate and emulate as many of these positive research experiences as possible, so that we many hope to describe the world around us according to Hoyle, instead of Garp.

Director: Sydney Pollack
Writer: Charles Randolph, Scott Frank, Steve Zaillian
Producers: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Kevin Misher
Nicole Kidman as Sylvia
Sean Penn as Tobin
Catherine Keener as Dot
The film also takes its time with the story, slowly intertwining the many political elements that make up its complex plotline, with moments of characters interacting, a number of effective suspense sequences and engaging direction by Sydney Pollack, who along with an ideal score for such a film, shows that he knows a thing or two about making these suckers click. Granted, the mechanics of the story did get a little confusing near the end (thanks to the small flashbacks, I hung in there though), and the film isn�t likely to strike too many chords of interest with the less-than-18 crowds, but I for one am glad to have experienced this film, not so much because it�s a superlative movie (although it�s damn solid), but because it differs so greatly from all the recycled crap that we�ve been getting so far this year. See it if the trailer intrigued you, see it if you enjoyed stuff like THE SIEGE and the Jack Ryan movies, see it if you like either Penn or Kidman, and see it if you like your thrillers with a political tip. Oh, and thanks to the writers for not throwing some half-assed romance into a film which clearly didn�t require one (although the ending was a nice touch), and thanks also for effectively developing the characters enough for me to actually �gulp a little gulp� during certain scenes of emotional rapport. Oh, the film also tosses a �message� about world leaders out there, which was an interesting aside and fun for Poli-Sci graduates to mull over.

Objectives To evaluate the applicability of MRI for the quantitative assessment of anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFLs) in symptomatic chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Methods Between 1997 and 2010, 39 patients with symptomatic CAI underwent surgical treatment (22 male, 17 female, mean age 25.4 years (15 to 40)). In all patients, the maximum diameters of the ATFLs were measured on pre-operative T2-weighted MR images in planes parallel to the path of the ATFL. They were classified into three groups based on a previously published method with modifications: 'normal', diameter = 1.0 - 3.2 mm; 'thickened', diameter > 3.2 mm; 'thin or absent', diameter < 1.0 mm. Stress radiography was performed with the maximum manual force in inversion under general anaesthesia immediately prior to surgery. In surgery, ATFLs were macroscopically divided into two categories: 'thickened', an obvious thickened ligament and 'thin or absent'. The imaging results were compared with the macroscopic results that are considered to be of a gold standard.
Results Agreement was reached when comparison was made between groups, based on MRI and macroscopic findings. ATFLs were abnormal in all 39 cases and classified as ten 'thickened' and 29 'thin or absent'. As to talar tilt stress radiography, a clear cut-off angle, which would allow discrimination between 'thickened' and 'thin or absent' patients, was not identified.
Conclusion MRI is valuable as a pre-operative assessment tool that can provide the quantitative information of ATFLs in patients with CAI.

Article focus
In cases where surgery is considered for symptomatic chronic ankle instability (CAI), it is imperative not only to detect injured lesions but also to document the extent of ligament tear and the quantity of residual ligamentous tissue.
This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of MRI for the quantitative assessment of anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFLs) in symptomatic CAI.
Key messages
On pre-operative MRI, ATFLs were abnormal in all 39 cases and classified as ten 'thickened' and 29 'thin or absent'.
In all cases pre-operatively categorised as 'thickened', residual ligaments were thick enough to be advanced, as observed during surgery, and graft replacement was not required. In the remaining cases, we were unable to detect bulky or normal residual tissue, and reconstruction had to be performed.
MRI is valuable as a pre-operative assessment tool that can provide the quantitative information of ATFLs in CAI patients.
Strengths and limitations
This study is based on the experience of a single surgeon.
Stress radiography was performed under general anaesthesia immediately prior to surgery.
Small numbers were involved in this study.
Acute lateral ankle ligament lesions are the most common injuries sustained in sports and recreational activities.1,2 Although most of these injuries can be treated successfully with conservative treatment, the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI), characterised by the occurrence of repetitive ankle sprains and persistence of symptoms after the initial injury, is not uncommon.3-5 Increased ligamentous laxity is one of the main causes of residual symptoms after ankle sprains, and failure of appropriate conservative management is an indication for surgical treatment.6,7 The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the main lateral stabiliser of the ankle joint and is most commonly affected first, followed by the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL).8,9 In cases where surgery is considered for symptomatic CAI, it is imperative not only to detect injured lesions but also to document the extent of ligament tear and the quantity of residual ligamentous tissue, as anatomic repair is recommended when the quality of the ruptured ligaments permits, and anatomic reconstruction should be performed when ligaments are attenuated.10,11 Although various imaging techniques such as stress radiography and MRI have been used for diagnosis,12-15 few studies have examined the sensitivities of evaluation methods in providing information about residual ligamentous tissue.16
In this study, we pre-operatively assessed injured ATFLs in symptomatic CAI patients by MRI and stress radiography under general anaesthesia. Using surgical findings as the gold standard, we evaluated the use of these two methods as pre-operative assessment tools. We hypothesised that pre-operative MRI can quantitatively evaluate injured ATFLs, and is useful in surgical planning.
Patients and Methods
Patient population
Between March 1997 and December 2010, 39 symptomatic CAI patients underwent surgical treatment at our hospital. Clinical criteria were the same as those described in previous reports.3,4,7 Patients had either a history of repetitive ankle sprains or persistent ankle pain that occurred after an acute lateral ankle sprain. The indication for surgical treatment was failure in conservative management after appropriate rehabilitation. There were 22 men and 17 women with a mean age of 25.4 years (15 to 40). The mean time between initial injury and surgery was 5.3 years (4 months to 20 years). All patients were evaluated pre-operatively by MRI and stress radiography was performed under general anaesthesia.
MRI was performed with a Hitachi Medical Corporation 0.4-T unit (Hitachi Electronics, Tokyo, Japan). The foot was placed in a neutral position and images were taken of each ankle in planes parallel to the path of the ATFL. Axial images were obtained using the following parameters: 16 cm field of view; 256 × 256 matrix; and 3 mm slice thickness with a 0.5 mm intersection gap. T1-weighted spin echo images were generated with a repetition time (TR) of 500 ms and echo times (TE) of 20 ms (500/20), and T2-weighted fast spin echo images were generated with a TR of 3500 ms and TE of 117 ms (3500/117).
Pre-operative MRI evaluation
On T2-weighted images, maximum diameters of the ATFLs were measured and classified into three categories based on a previously published method17 with modifications: 'normal', diameter = 1.0 to 3.2 mm; 'thickened', diameter > 3.2 mm; 'thin or absent', diameter < 1.0 mm (Fig. 1). Cases in which the continuity of the ATFL could not be confirmed were classified as 'absent'.
Stress radiography
Stress radiography was performed with the maximum manual force in inversion under general anaesthesia. Talar tilt was measured as the angle formed by opposing articular surfaces of the tibia and talus.18
Surgical findings
ATFLs were evaluated and classified into two categories during surgery: 'thickened', an obvious thickened ligament; 'thin or absent', a maximum diameter of < 1.0 mm or when the path of the ligamentous tissue from the anterior aspect of the distal fibula at the malleolar fossa level to the neck of the talus was undetectable (Fig. 2).
Reliability analysis
A total of five patients were selected randomly and two orthopaedic surgeons classified their ATFLs on MRI. During surgery, two other orthopaedic surgeons who were blinded to use of the MRI evaluated the ATFLs; two of these were classified as 'thickened' and three 'thin or absent' on MRI, which agreed with our categorisation based on surgical findings.
Statistical analysis
Descriptive data are reported as mean (sd) and range. We used conventional statistical tests to compare outcomes in the two groups ('thickened' and 'thin or absent'). The chi-squared test was used for dichotomous variables, and the Mann–Whitney U test for all ordinal variables. Two-sided p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington). A logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois), with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
ATFLs in all patients were abnormal at surgery. 'Thickened' and 'thin or absent' ATFLs were observed in ten and 29 cases, respectively (Table I).
There were no gender- or age-related differences between the two groups. The time between initial injury and surgery was significantly different in the two groups (thickened, 2.3 years (sd 2.2); thin or absent, 6.4 years (sd 6.1), p = 0.006).
MRI diagnosis and surgical findings
ATFLs were abnormal on pre-operative MRI in all 39 cases. Injured ligaments were categorised as thickened (10), or thin or absent (29) (Table II).
Comparison with surgical findings revealed that all ten thickened ATFLs were correctly predicted by MRI.
Stress radiography and surgical findings
The mean talar tilt was 14.4 (sd 6.3°) (Table II, Fig 3). Comparison of the two groups categorised by surgical findings revealed a significant difference (thickened, 11.2 (sd 4.8°); thin or absent, 15.5 (sd 6.4°); p = 0.037). The angle of talar tilt did not have a significant effect on categorisation based on surgical findings using the logistic regression analysis (odds ratio: 0.872; p = 0.072), and a clear cut-off angle, which would allow discrimination between 'thickened' and 'thin or absent' patients, was not identified (Fig. 3).
CAI not only limits physical activity, but also leads to an increased risk of osteoarthritis, and patients with severe disability often need surgical treatment to restore mechanical stability.5,19,20 Although various imaging methods, such as stress radiography, MRI, computed tomography, and ultrasonography, are available to facilitate precise diagnosis, the first two methods are most frequently used.7,21
The anterior drawer test and talar tilt stress radiographs are commonly used in the clinical setting.18,22However, these measurements correlate poorly with the degree of ligamentous disruption due to large individual variations.15,17,23Some patients have bilateral ankle sprains, which render comparison with the contralateral side unreliable. Furthermore, some investigators claim that radiographic stress tests cause pain and muscle spasms that restrict movement unless the joint is anaesthetised.14,15,18 To overcome these problems, both stress radiographs in the present study were obtained under general anaesthesia in the operating room and a side-by-side comparison was not performed. The mean angle of talar tilt was smaller in those patients with a thickened ATFL than in those whose ATFL was thin or absent. However, a clear cut-off angle, which would allow discrimination between thickened and thin or absent, was not identified. These data are consistent with previous reports.12,23
MRI is commonly used as a less invasive technique for diagnosing acute lateral ankle ligament injury.15,23,24However, its use in CAI is controversial.12,14,17Cardone et al17 examined 43 CAI patients and developed a set of diagnostic criteria in MRI for abnormalities of the ankle ligament. After comparing the results of stress radiography in 23 patients, they concluded that MRI is more useful than stress radiography for identifying injured ligaments. Chandnani et al12 compared the efficacy of conventional MRI, MR arthrography, and stress radiography in 17 CAI patients and found that MRI has a sensitivity of 50% in the diagnosis of ATFL and CFL tears, which is similar to that of stress radiography. Oae et al14 performed stress radiography, ultrasonography, MRI, and arthroscopy in 15 cases of chronic ankle sprains. Using arthroscopic results as the gold standard, both MRI and stress radiography yielded 93% accuracy in ATFL injury diagnoses. The discrepancy between these two results may be due to the lack of common diagnostic criteria in MRI findings for ankle ligament injury, as well as differences in imaging protocols. In our study, maximum diameters of the ATFLs were measured from T2-weighted axial images in the neutral ankle position, as described by Cardone et al.17 This protocol generates reproducible images, allowing objective evaluation of injured ligaments. In all of our cases, residual ATFLs were diagnosed as abnormal by pre-operative MRI and confirmed during surgery. The accuracy of ATFL injury diagnosis was higher or equal to those previously reported.12,14,17
Several studies have correlated imaging findings with surgical findings in CAI.12,14,16,17 However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to examine the use of MRI in the quantitative evaluation of residual ligamentous tissues in CAI patients. In this study, patients were categorised into three groups according to maximum diameters of residual ATFLs measured by pre-operative MRI. In all cases pre-operatively categorised as thickened, residual ligaments were thick enough to be advanced, as observed during surgery, and graft replacement was not required. In the remaining cases, we were unable to detect bulky or normal residual tissue, and reconstruction had to be performed.25 Retrospectively, surgical procedures can be chosen according to the extent of residual ligamentous tissues predicted by pre-operative MRI. As the reconstruction procedure requires graft preparation, accurate pre-operative planning has substantial merit. In our study, the quantity of ATFLs were well evaluated. However, MRI evaluation of the quality of ligaments is difficult, partially due to the lack of a standard evaluation method. This is an issue to be addressed in future studies.
In conclusion, our results show that MRI is capable of quantitatively evaluating the injured ATFL. We believe that pre-operative MRI is useful as an adjunct to stress radiography in surgical planning.

Kennen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi guys! I'm Despecrados, and this is my first guide on Mobafire.
Each time I purchased a new champ, I went here to see how it was played, so I decided to send back some of my (little) knowledge of LoL and of the champs I play the better.
Kennen was my first choice, because, even if Blitzcrank has been my main for a long time (i'll make another guide for him as soon as I'll have time), she's the carry ap I enjoy playing the most. As you all probably know, well played, she is a wonderful team destroyer, probably one of the best of the game. This build is for mid and eventually for solo top (tried sometimes, it can be good if you are not against an Irelia or a Renekton, or some other strong solo top).
A lil' precision, I'm french, so maybe this guide will have some english mistakes. (Don't downvote 'cause I'm french, I know some french players are just a pain, but me and my buddies are not, I can assure you!) :)
We'll see pros and cons about Kennen first, then I'm going to explain why I chose those runes, masteries, summoner spells, and items. Finally, I'll try to explain how to play her from the beginning to the end of a game. This is an unpretentious guide, comments and questions are welcome to develop it.
Pros and Cons
Pros :
-Destructive ulti and spells to target all the team ;
-Great escape with Lightning Rush ;
-Good range to play safe, with Thundering Shuriken ;
-Nice heal with spell vamp ;
-Good initiator.
Cons :
-Requires some skill for Thundering Shuriken, and for Zhonya's Hourglass (my build is based on it) ;
-Easily focused (but you can turn it into a advantage with Zhonya's Hourglass)
-Ability that cost a lot of energy (especially Lightning Rush).
Runes and Masteries
Runes :
Well, let's start with a lil' explanation on my runes and masteries. I explain both at the same time 'cause they are connected, I'll tell you why.
I'm gonna skip Greater Mark of Magic Penetration, 'cause most of you will agree that there are the only marks that are good on a carry ap.
Why Greater Quintessence of Ability Power?
Simple, to have a minimum ap at the beginning.
Why Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power?
With masteries in 21/9/0, it will give you a significative progression of ap until lvl 18, and even if you'll do a little less damage in the first levels, as soon as you'll be lvl 6 or 7, you will damage badly your opponent.
Why Greater Seal of Vitality?
Same as glyphes, when combined with your defense masteries, you'll get almost 300 hp by the level 18, and by level 5 or 6, you'll be strong enough to avoid death.
Masteries are most offensive because it gives you a lot ability power, and a little defensive, not to be squishy in early game. I'm sure you'll understand it, but let me explain just one thing : I rather take Demolitionist than max Havoc because pushing tower is not always easy with Kennen and other ap carries.
If you're planing to play solo top, just max Hardiness instead of Resistance . This is the only change I would make.
Summoner Spells
To me, you can have different summoner spells on Kennen, but a must have is Flash. It allows you to escape some hard situations, and you'll be able to surprise your mid opponent and later all the team, by Flash/ Lightning Rush/ Slicing Maelstrom/ Electrical Surge, and blast them all.
Why Exhaust?
It's to stop your opponent escape and to lower is magic resist to kill him more easily while ganked. Ignite is fine, but it won't stop him from escaping.
Alternative spells :
- Ignite : a little boost to your damage is always good, and moreover, it gives you a bit more of AP, but I only take it when there are no partners which take it. I prefer control and lowering magic resistance with Exhaust ;
- Ghost : a good weapon for you to be a more efficient initiator, but I don't take it because you're already able to pass through creeps with Lightning Rush ;
- Teleport : good idea for helping the other lanes, defend a tower or come back quicly to your lane ;
- Cleanse : I think that's a good idea, but I confess I never mastered that spell... :p
What I advise against :
- Clarity : do I need to say why?
- Promote : seriously, is there anybody playing with that?
- Revive : I hope for you that you don't need it...
- Clairvoyance : that's not your job ;
- Surge : well, maybe this one COULD be good, but I never play with it (I don't play champs on which it could be great), and attack speed seems a little useless.
- Heal : It can be good in early game, but Kennen will heal by spell vamp, so...
Skill Sequence
I know some of Kennen players rather Electrical Surge than Thundering Shuriken. Maybe it's a good idea, to harras a lot your opponent easily, but I prefer to up first Thundering Shuriken for two reasons : first, it make farming easier (if you spam your shuriken, you will not push your lane and make ganks easier for you and your jungler, and you'll have every creep one by one with some last hits); but the second reason, and the most important to me, is that you'll heal a lot more than with Electrical Surge when you'll have your Hextech Revolver, because Thundering Shuriken is a single target spell.
For the rest, well, Slicing Maelstrom at the level 6, 11 and 16, of course, and maximise Lightning Rush at the end, 'cause this ability just give you escape and engage at the beginning, it's too dangerous to harras with it.
Last thing, I take Shuriken Lvl 1 and 3. If you have a Shaco or a Twitch jungle, take it lvl 1 and lvl 4, after you got lightning rage, 'cause it is a great escape.
A lot of Kennen players consider Rylai's Crystal Scepter to be a must have. Well, I'm not. Sometimes I take it, but it is at the end, in the last item slot.
First : Spell Vamp for survability
I go first for spell vamp with Hextech Revolver, and Sorcerer's Shoes, and therefore I'm able to stay more in lane, by spamming Thundering Shuriken.
Second : Initiator item
My favorite item is Zhonya's Hourglass on Kennen, so I buy it just after Hextech Revolver, or after Will of the Ancients, depending on the gold I have when I back or die. Zhonya's Hourglass is just the item that make Kennen so op. You can Flash/ Lightning Rush/ Slicing Maelstrom/ Electrical Surge/ Thundering Shuriken under a tower in team fight, smash all the carry, let the other mid life, activate Zhonya's Hourglass when you're low, and let your team finish the job, which is sometimes almost totally done.
Third : AP, more AP and Magic pen
Then I go for Rabadon's Deathcap and Void's Staff to maximize your damage. By now, you could have a pentakill. :)
Last slot : whatever you think might be good
The last item slot, I usually take an Abyssal Mask, to have more magic resist, and to lower the ennemies' one. But, I think Rylai's Crystal Scepter here is ok, or Guardian Angel, or whatever you think it's good, depending on your opponent team. In any case, you are already 600 or 700 ap, with 50% magic pen, and you can do well.
When everything's done...
When I got all my stuff, and I have gold enough, I change my boots for Mercury's Thread, and go for Elixir of Brillance, Elixir of Fortitude, and Elixir of Agility in that order. Oracle's Elixir is not a priority there, but if there is a Shaco, a Twitch, or an Evelynn, don't hesitate to buy it.
Do I need to say that creeping is more important than harrassing?
If you have a good jungler, you will be able to take your opponent even if he is full life, by stunning him, beginning with Lightning Rush, and after your Electrical Surge and his passive, or your Thundering Shuriken. If you have Slicing Maelstrom, don't hesitate to activate it to get the kill. With all that, you can stun 2 times.
So don't miss one creep, try to harras sometimes eventually, and be reactive when your jungler comes.
In case you're dominating :
It often goes like that if you have creeped well, if your jungler and you made the other mid champ weak. If it's like that, stay in the creep melee, and make your opponent go back by harrassing him with Thundering Shuriken and with Electrical Surge. You'll still be able to flee fast if you're ganked with Lightning Rush. If the jungler is a little squishy, flee a little harrassing him with Thundering Shuriken and with Electrical Surge, Flash and declenche your Slicing Maelstrom to have both kills, or at least one. Especially if you already have your Zhonya's Timeglasse.
In case you're being dominated :
The most painfull champ against Kennen to me are LeBlanc, Brand and Xerath, because if they take advantage on you, you won't have enough range to creep well staying safe. Moreover, they have a stun.
In that case, you'll need to be gank as soon as possible.
To wait the gank, try to creep a minimum with Thundering Shuriken not to let him get stronger, and when your jungler is getting close, start to mark him with your Mark of the Storm, by anyway. As soon as you're jungler is here, rush to your opponent to stun him. If the gank fail and your opponent does not go back, restart it in the minute, if he goes back, push and don't miss one creep before backing also.
You also can fake a back, and goes by the river with your jungler to surprise the mid.
Team Work
You're an initiator!
In team Fights, as I said before, if your team does not have a good initiator, such as Amumu, Wukong, Alistar, Blitzcrank ;) or another, you could be an efficient one, especially after you get Zhonya's Timeglass.
Use of your ulti :
Once you get your Slicing Maelstrom, if you kill your opponent whitout it, go to bot lane or to top lane, in case the solo top is dominated, to help your partners taking advantage of their lane.
When you're in team, even if it's 4v5, you can force teamfights at the Nashor or the Dragon : you know the enemy team is near and is waiting yours to engage, well, engage! As soon as they arrive, initiate the team fight by the same method always. 3/4/5 kills + Nashor/Dragon... Free.
Warding :
You can take some wards to see the way out in red jungle, or the bush of your opponents' blue buff. It will help the support and the jungler in their warding job, and you'll be able to see things coming to flee or to trap the enemy team.
If you read that, I suppose you've read the rest, so I must thank you for your patience. Maybe it's not very well explained sometimes, my english is what it is... :)
Anyway, don't be shy to downvote, to upvote, to comment, to explain your point of vue, or to correct my english! :)

That list. It's probably staring at you right now. It knows when you are sleeping, it knows when you're awake. It's a source for your daily dose of guilt, and it's ruining your life. I'm talking about that innocent looking, noble, optimistic to-do list of yours. Now, I don't know you, but you may be like me. I know me. [1] If you're like me then I think your to-do list is the reason that you are so frustrated by procrastination, and your to-do list has become a tool for enhancing your procrastination. This is because your to-do list is a bad task manager and fails you on two fronts: quantitatively and qualitatively.
Quantitative Failure
The only real quantity that your to-do list represents is the, perhaps overwhelming, number of things that you have to get done. Not a good start. The list makes no mention of how long each of these tasks may take, as I'm sure that some are much longer than others. For instance, writing a rough draft will take much more time than going to the bank. Your to-do list, however, does not represent this. Therefore, you more than likely are expecting too much from your day. Your nasty little to-do list keeps telling you that you are lazy when, in reality, you are actually working as hard as you can. Stop feeling guilty. Burn that stupid list!
Your to-do list will consistently hide problems of time and scheduling from you. What other commitments do you have today? Meetings? Class? A birthday party? Coffee with a friend? Your to-do list fails to represent this schedule to you, making it very easy to over-schedule yourself. Don't listen to it! You are a person, not some task machine.
Your to-do list also does not account for when the task might best be accomplished. Some tasks might be better batched together, others moved to certain times of the day. You might be more productive at completing some tasks in the morning, others in the afternoon. For instance, I love writing in the morning; but in the afternoon this prolific writer goes on a loooong happy hour, leaving the rest of me to wallow in a swamp of sentences until the writer comes back the next morning. You should take into account your own personality and flow, but does your to-do list?
Qualitative Failure
Your to-do list also fails to represent to you the quality of each task. Not all tasks are created equal. Which have the highest priority? Which are not as important? You need to ask yourself these questions because your to-do list is sneaky. If you don't, it will set you up for qualitative failure by enabling you to procrastinate. Here's the problem: We, as normal human beings, will often try to avoid the tasks that require us to do more work. Seek the path of least resistance, eh? The fact is, most of the time, the most important tasks that we need "to-do" each day are the ones that will require some form of effort. Enter your favorite procrastination tool: the to-do list. This list hides all your important work (possibly one or two things each day) under a mountain of less significant to insignificant tasks. It's easy then to put off that important task because, hey, look at all this other stuff that needs to be done! Right? [2]
Couple this with the problem that you to-do list ignores the existence of time and, thus, has allowed you to overschedule yourself, and you've got the perfect storm of productive paralysis. At this rate you will never get to the important work.
The fact of the matter is, what I am saying is not earth-shattering. I think most of us know this, whether we have realized it or not. This is why we feel guilty about procrastination. I say: hear, hear. Raise your glasses (coffee mugs, tumblers) to toast a change. Stop blaming yourself! It's not your fault. Blame that to-do list of yours. Douse it in the (metaphorical) alcohol of this toast, the gasoline of your frustration, and torch that thing (metaphorically, of course).
1. That's right. I'm looking at you, Socrates.
2. A thoughtful alternative to this problem would be the "Structured Procrastination" method, but I will write more on that later. http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/
