From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

Great Movie, but ehh...

Earlier today, my dad and I went out to the movies to see Terminator Salvation. Now, the movie was awesome; So awesome, that even the following things that I am going to do had little or no affect to it's awesomeness. But still;


1.) Common cannot act (atleast not in this movie). When he delivered each line, (which, I'm almost certain were voiced over) it sounded like was rapping it. Haha. Matter of fact, the only line he delivered well was "C'mon y'all let's go!". And he wasn't even in the shot the whole time when said it. But he is and always will be one of my favorite rappers. It's okay, Common; you made money off of it.


2.) Terry Crews: They upped it a noch this time, black people. If you've ever watched Everybody Hates Chris, then you know who Terry Crews is. He plays the dad, Julius. And he also played Damon in Friday after Next (Funniest husky black guy EVER). Now, they gave him a role in Terminator. And knowing that he's black, and he's in an action movie, you can pretty much add 2 and 2 together and say he died first in the movies, right? WRONG. This nigga was a movie extra; an already dead soldier. They closed up on him an everything.



Damn, they used to actually show the black people die. Smh

3.) I'M GOING TO NEED FOR ARNOLD SCHWARTZENNEGER TO NOT BE WHOOPIN' PEOPLE'S ASS IN THE NUDE. Enough said. :/

All in all, the movie was "Outstanding", as my dad would say. The action was almost realistic. And the movie had me laughing all the way through. But I'm sure that wasn't the intent of Joselph McGinty Nichol. But, w/e.

When life gives you lemons...

...you paint that shit gold, apparently.

Not a quote that I necessarily agree with, but I do bang with this Atmosphere LP entitled so (When Life Gives You Lemons...You Paint That Shit Gold). The Cd's pretty old now (If you consider material from 2008 to be old) and it's not really a favorite among Atmosphere fans in comparison to their other projects. But, I think this is the type of CD that is made for just certain people to vibe to...and commiserate with.

You got a 37 year-old white rapper, whose testimony's consist of killer Hangovers from the night before that leave shamefully in a stranger's house the morning after taking a shower, having a complex onesided relationship with a waitress from a local diner, drinkin' beer, smokin' cigs, and other common dilemmas of a middle aged, youthful bachelor.




These Guys really know how to throw one together. The compositions are soothing, the messages are clear yet distinctive, and I could almost guarantee any Lowlife would find this CD therapeutic. I betchu!

Honestly, I'm not really fond of his lyrical talent (or lack thereof). But I definitely fucks with the delivery, and every song comes with a catchy flow.


It's Only Right


I must say this was a VERY good weekend. I hope this is a positive trend foreshadowing a good summer.
Friday - I got caught in the rain with my friend Anna, it kinda sucked, but we met up with our Friends Nick and Marcus, Bauman and another Central kid. Haha very funny time.
Then, I got to hang out with Nya, Samir, and Trent, they helped me end off a good day with a great food and an even better night. Oh and thanks Nya for teaching me how to shoot B/W haha im obsessed with it now.


Saturday - Bummed around all day, then headed downtown to do hoodrat stuff with my friends. Very good time. Enjoy the photos.
