And the next stop on the Piccadilly line is...COCKFosters

Yes. I am that immature. My sister called me a child...a 6'3 baby.

Today my mom went back to Philly and the trip was quite good. Its was weird because so many things were flowing through my head. The homes that we saw on the river Thames were wild. And they had this DISGUSTING (GOOD) apartment complex next to the Mi6 building was incredible. People if you come to London, be a tourist and to the river Thames tour and get on the Eye(millenium wheel) .


Looking at all the beautiful Georgian homes in my sister's neighborhood, nice cars...Seriously.
Life can be good...if you want it to be. Passing by all of those nice homes remind me of how A LOT of brilliant people i know fall into mediocrity, or off entirely. I don't understand being another face in the crowd.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE WANT TO DO THAT???

It really bugs me.

I mean you(as in anyone reading this) don't have to be the most brilliant person in the world to be successful.

DRIVE, AMBITION...GUTS

Dream BIG, THING BIG...and as skaters and surfers would say GO BIG OR DON'T GO AT ALL.

Sadly...in all of this trumpeting I am doing, i fall victim to being a master procrastinator. That is the worst habit to have in my opinion.

Since i don't Smoke cigarettes or weed. Pop pills or any kind of mind numbing drugs

Procrastination and not taking the initiative when i am supposed to is my bad habit.

In my opinion its harder than any drug.

So what is my resolution for 08'?

INITIATIVE.

Thats it.

Al things i wish to achieve this year center around taking the initiative. So after some Pondering
My Resolution for 08 are!!!!

1) Get closer to Jesus

2) Get an internship with a major company. At least a startup firm.

3) Read 50 books and increase my business and general knowledge

4) Lose 15-20 pounds for a model body. Massive running and ab work. I'm thinking Cristiano Ronaldo/ CK model abs

5) Get my Clothing line of the ground. At least on a pre-order basis.

6) Be one of the best students at Temple.

7) Increase my network and network worth ( Building solid connections not many connections)



Some might say thats quite a feat or quite the mountain.

But i feel i can accomplish all these things.

It will be a massive undertaking but if i take this PIECE by PIECE, stay positive and motivated i can accomplish all these things.

I have no room for doubters.

And as a shed the 20 pounds and getting abs,

1) i am also shedding dead weight people

2) Negative people

3) and anyone who will influence me the wrong way

I am going to be a tall black well oiled Machine!

Chronicles of the Back and Sales Reps

Today was quite horrible if i must say. My back hurts like a mutherfucker. I've had chronic back aches since 11th grade. I have scoliosis im my upper back and my lower back is severely arched. I want some to get a jack hammer and just destroy my back...so God can put it back together again.

Then i went to this department store called Selfridges which is like one of the biggest department stores in the world. The sales reps were FUCKING RUDE.

Last time i checked a sales rep asks would be customers what they would like. Not just look at them and keep talking. Some don't even look at you...fuck that alot don't look at you. I guess in America i am used to sales reps n customer service being proactive to customers. Department and boutique store sales reps in London are QUITe SHITELY.

My back hurt so much i couldn't even walk home. So my sis got a cab...she is madd cool peoples.

I got home and listen to some good ol Brit Pop and passed the fuck out

CRS -Us Placers

I am so happy there is a video to this song even though it is maddd unn-official. Its great that people are willing to make something happen if artists aren't able to.

CRS (Child Rebel Soldier) is a "super-group" or dream collabo for many hypebeasters, hiphop, bape, lupe, pharrell and kanye fan. I fall in the hype and lupe category. Its really cool though. I hope they make some type of album it would be awesome.

Us placers is a song about various subjects. From the super-star life style to back then they didn't wan't me now i am hot they all on me and the crack game to the virginia tech massacre. IMHO(in my humble opinion Lupe and Kanye were really standard but Pharrell really george bushed the button. He killed it. His lyrics were both abstract yet really clear

Just so i can be a jerk, i am going to critique their video cus the song has been out for like 5-6 months now. The video is a 10 for creativity and showing the 3 MCs personality. Its alot like the Biggie Sky is the Limit video but no budget...

Again Us Placers CRS is a 10. But i am partial to anything Lupe, Kanye or Pharrell. If i was unbiased it would be a 20

Ayo Mayo

P.S.

I dont like critics, all they do is find the good in OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK!!! based on minor flaws in the video.

Art can't be critiqued and music can't be critiqued, they are works of the independant minds attempting to grow through expression

Jus fuckin arund

The Christmas Spirit

Ayo yo!!

Whats goin on? things in London are quite awesome. There is this street called Oxford Street and it most likely shits on any shopping district i know in the U.S...except for King of Prussia. There are so many people out its nuts..and even though alot of Christmas these days is consumer driven, i could still feel the Christmas spirit in the air. It was quite wonderful.

There are like 20 music Channels here. 20! and they are all good. If u know what you like...and there is every genre, except for country music. God has handed me the world on a silver platter. And alot of them have been playing Christmas music 24/7.

O...i found an awesome streetwear store called...i actually forgot but i am going to go there again before i leave. I also went to an Evisu store, i am taking a new liking to evisu. I never liked it before but it is definately up there now. I think i didn't like it cus that whole hipster look. But they have a solid background....nothing against hipsters alot...i think i might be one. I just don't like labels...labels are bad. All they are are pre-existing thoughts and ideals that have no foundation because they arr built on bad bad experiences, but thats another blog post

On friday my sister's friends Nisha and Saratu took me out on to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. They are really cool. My sisters crew really emulates the people i hang out with, a very multi-racial crowd. Which is really awesome. I had dinner at my sister's friends place. His name is Carlos. He is really cool. and hilarious.

One last thing..London has alot of mixed people and interracial couples...and its not like a big deal, they don't get stares like they would in the U.S. I think people in the U.K are a bit more accepting...alot more accepting than they are in the U.S. but hats another blog topic.

Thats it for now.

Ayo Mayo

I think that is it for now...i think, but comment the blog people

Absurdity

So i have slept a total of like 9 hours since i got to London on Tuesday morning.

Absurd. I really want to sleep but i have so much shit floating in my head i hope i don't forget anything.

If you haven't come to London. Do yourself a favor and save up at least 1000 dollars and come here. Its FUCKING AMAZING. It never ceases to amaze me every time i come here...but

Things seem a lot smaller. Everything here is a bit smaller in general, but i think it is because i grew. I mean i haven't been here in since '03...thats long.

I should be going out and doing some to eat and doing some shopping tomorrow. If anything eventful happens IT SHALL BE BLOGGED

Wisdom

If there is anything in the world i could wish for it would be like EXTREME WISDOM. Making the right decisions at the right time...making the wrong decisions at the right time so i can grow from them.

BUT

I feel no one can completely attain wisdom unless they are on their Death Bed. Then you can look back and be like...i made all the right decisions.

I might change my thoughts on this subject later

Worst Fucking Dream

My mind has been playing major tricks on me. I had a nightmare for the ages

I was living in an apartment with my other sister...not the one i am staying with. Anyway i am trying to sleep then i couldn't find my roommate ( my roommate from Temple..wOOt.) . So i go next door to another apartment and he is playing Guitar Hero. At one of my friends apartment...lets call him Lee. Lee's room mate, lets call him Henry... and this Henry guy is playing guitar hero naked and my roommate Lee were just there watching n having fun...LIKE THERE WAS FUCKING NOTHING WRONG. So i decide to go out. While i am on an elevator there are like three girls on the elevator dancing naked. Not pleasantly naked but like on ACID naked.
So i walked outside and its like TWILIGHT outside. and people of the apartment complex(three high rises) and every other person in the world are like...on ACID, Ecstasy, cocaine and any other narcotic and hallucinogen possible. They are dancing on the balconies NAKED. Then there are people on other balconies ENDLESSLY URINATING.

THE WORST PART IS LIKE I DIDN'T EVEN WAKE UP YET

I get to the store and everything is normal. Thats it. NOTHING WRONG. SO i am walking back to my apartment which is the middle high rise.As i walk, they spot me. THEN THEY ALL TRIED TO START PISSING ON ME!

I was dodging like shit like my life depended on it. i thought I WAS LEGEND

So i get back and they are on to me. They are trying to get me...for what. I Don't Know.

I get to the elevator and they keep sticking their foot in right when it is about to close. MUTHERFUCKERS!! That shit was so annoying. but it eventually closes. and i get to my apartment. and I was where my sister is. There are people in my apartment. Funny enough they had clothes on.

I get to the door and IT WAS LOCKED!

and i that was it.



So i have the wierd dreams and if you know me personally you would know that. This was on the level of my fucking Naruto dream( thats when you know u watch to much anime and read too many mangas)

Lately i have also been having wierd day dreams...like Final Destination Shit.

Like on my airplane to London, The plane broke in half. And i was the only one who was sucked out. As i am falling i look up and the plane was back together...FUCK BRITISH AIRWAYS.




Thats it...for now

Ayo Mayo!

In London

Hey I'm in London now for my Christmas Vacation. I'm gonna have the time of my life regardless of the fact I have no one to hang out with. I'm staying in my sisters place in like Central London or Northwest...Sum shit like that. Saw my cousins, uncle and aunts today i haven't seen them in like 3 years. Good to catch up.

I'm gonna be on the lookout for the hottest streetwear brands in London. I'm definitely bringing back some goodies.

So on the airplane i had this concept of a "stealth umbrella" or "steel umbrella". I guess I'll build on it. I love when random ideas for designs come in my head. I change of environment definitely helps especially when i am 35000 feet in the air. I felt good to look down on the clouds and saying FUCK YOU!! Being on top of an airplane and looking down felt "Quite the shitley awesome".

I'll make an effort to blog everyday.
