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.

Couldn't fit on your wall. (no homo?)

Mr. Sharif,

I am sorry to inform you that a restraining order has been placed you from my facebook page. If you don't mind I'd like to just run through the key requests that it wittholds:

First, you are not to be within 30 miles of my facebook page. Translated to the use of the internet, you cannot be on anyone's page who is a mutual friend of mine, unless you do not see my name and picture in the "friends in common box" that you can find on the left column of your page.

Second, if you are to ACCIDENTALLY stumble upon a page that displays a link to MY page, you are to keep the cursor at a minimum distance of 6 inches away from the link. If you violate that request, you will be given a 10 second relief period to get the hell away from my page.

Third, when I feel that you have made progress, you will be granted the priviledge of viewing my page with one exception: do not...I repeat, DO NOT mention the iluminati, freemasonry, or whatever else suggests anything of the sort.

Until then, fuck off my page.

I. Freakniks: The News

Okay...

Preface

First, I would like to once again shout out Chinedu for the heads up (which This time, i recieved in a less direct manner). Before I get to the actual news though, I should let you know that this is comming to you in the form of two seperate posts; One to "tell you it", and one to tell you what I think of it 'cause I'm honestly going to need some time to articulate my thoughts on this.

....It's about Lil Wayne, and T-Pain. And They be on some other shit so I'm sure you understand.



Try to ignore certain websites that will misinform you. There will be no cartoon with Ron Browz, Kanye West, and T-Wayne (haha) called Auto-Tunes. Lil Wayne will not play a "drugged out midget with dreads." (haha). C'mon, that's nonsense!

Don't be fooled.....he's actually playing Jesus Christ (haha!!!) on a cartoon entitled Freakniks airing on Adult Swim March 21st. =)

....and T-Pain plays the "Ghost of Spring break, the Spirit of Freaknik"

I will be back,
peeeaaace.

Crevices of the mind: Fashion


Before I start ranting..No, I'm not finished the "Best 0f 2009" yet..I didn't forget about it though!

Now unto the rant.

I change my career as often as I change clothes. But today, yesterday, the day before, the week before and the month before.. I wanted to be a stylist. "You shouldn't care so much about what you wear and you won't make any money that way, they're only clothes"

Not everyone can understand that with the exception of a hungover Saturday or Sunday, I think about what I wear and it really wouldn't be a good day if I just rolled out of bed and threw on a sweatshirt. Does that sound shallow to you? Maybe you don't understand either, what is your definition of personal style? Steez?...Fashion?

Style; A quality of imagination and individuality expressed in one's actions and tastes.

Steez; I jumped up from my sleeping arrangement, rubbed my eyes threw on a white tee and turned my steez on. My steez is never to be confused with your "swag"

Fashion is the opposite of effortless. Fashion is that certain je ne sais crois worn above the collarbone that says "Fuck you, I do care. Maybe a little bit too much even".

Fashion is standing in the mirror for an hour asking yourself "what about this outfit is mine? How do I separate this shirt from the logo? What makes this my belt, and not Louis Vuitton's?". Fashion is borrowing an idea, and turning it into something that you can call your own. Fashion is that "Must you consistently dress up for class" look that you get from your peers adorning sweatpants and crusty eyes.

Fashion is a commitment to quality and originality. Fashion is turning a laptop case into a briefcase, turning an "Oh you bought that because Pharrell wears it" t-shirt into a "Fuck you, I bought it because I had the money and it compliments the hypnotiq stain on my jordans" T- SHIRT.

Fashion is dirty. Fashion is clean. Fashion says "I'm taking a risk wearing this outside of my room but fuck it, and them if they have a problem".

Fashion is timeless. Fashion is the ageless classic. Fashion is cuffed khakis, and slacks. Fashion is tucked in cashmere shirts with $20 plimsoles. Fashion is an untucked and wrinkled white tee paired with $300 gucci sneakers.

Fashion can't be limited to heels, chukkas, oxfords, laceups, or boots..Fashion is talking to your suitcase full of streetwear apparel "I own YOU. You don't own me." Fashion goes as far as dirtied white vans, "I'll only ever be worn on this occasion" nikes, and Jordans that you swapped out for wingtips at the last minute

FASHION is the fading ink on a receipt, telling you that the price doesn't matter. Fashion is in a steel doored, security guarded "luxury items" store. Fashion is in a small thrift store on walnut street that you might pass by if you're not looking for it. Fashion is in your Mom's blazer that you borrowed, or inside of the shrunken wool fibers of your brother's vneck sweater

Fashion is a lot like love, it is wherever you find it and can't be limited to a certain socio economic level, clique, genre, brand, or price range.

Yeah, labels make fashion but, can you really put just one label on it?

If I don't change my mind, and I don't make any money..I'll be sure to apologize to anyone who still doesn't understand the significance .
