I don't know when I became such a documentary freak. I do know that each one I have watched struck a chord with something that was going on in my life at the time I watched it. Looking back at these films provides me with a flickering time machine. It helps me remember what the christ was going on in my life.

Here is the journey of Klusterfugged Keefe's life through films. Entry #1

The first one that I remember seeing happened to be Hoop Dreams. It follows two inner city, ballers, through the trials of poverty, dysfunctional families, injuries and recruitment. While I could attribute my love of this movie to me having some hoop aspirations of my own, I really think it kickstarted my infatuation with hip-hop culture and the like.
It was during this time that Papa Klusterfug confiscated Snoop's epic masterpiece Doggystyle after seeing the cover. Not sure why he took such umbrage with it...

Seems perfectly normal that a freckly-faced 8th-grader would have this artwork in their room, doesn't it? I mean every good party gal needs to know the lyrics to Lodi Dodi by heart...fo shizzle, papa tizzle. I was also grooving heavy on Biggie Smalls classic ditty, Juicy.I totally lived it - I too wondered why Christmas missed us. Birthdays was the worst days. Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay. Uh, damn right I like the life I live. 'Cause I went from negative to positive.
Klusterfug, out.

And it's all good baby-baby...
