They Call It Soul Food...

Because it feeds the soul right.
You're looking at chicken wAngs, yams, greens, potato salad, rice-n-gravy, mac-n-cheeese, and 'nat CO'N bread!
You already KNOW I finished it off with that well known BANANA PUDDIN'!

Visualizing The Realism’s Of Life In Actuality.

Every night before I sleep, I stay awake to think about what my reality will be like when I'm on my own two years from now. See, I did this two years ago and I'm on the same path as I visualized. You've got to realize your reality to live it in actuality. Without picturing what your path looks like, you can easily lead yourself into the wrong one that takes you back to where you started.

When I say " I see my reality in dreams and my dreams in reality*" what I mean is the tangible life around me right now is what I envisioned for myself when I dreamt about it. So basically, I planned my dreams. Those BIG BIG plans that you spend years wishing you had, yeah those. I've been planning each stepping-stone to get up there!

The biggest thing for me is to accomplish something great in MY eyes. To live a life without that ONE major accomplishment is a waste. You can search the world for a huge gold mine and set your family up for future generations to come. Accomplishment. Become Rookie of the Year. Accomplishment. Publish a book of poetry. Accomplishment. Get a Gold Medal in Volleyball at the Olympics. Accomplishment. Even if you FAIL in the eyes of others, can you really call it a failure if you got second place, knowing you tried your hardest? You know that Michael Jordan quote? "I can accept failure but I can't accept not trying." So you can be 80 years young and still have pride. Feel me?

The important thing to remember is this is YOUR life. We are never handed a card that directs us to accomplish a goal that is not ours. Nothing is predetermined. It's easy to say 'We chose our own outcome in life' but you have to actually mold it with your hands until that Rheumatoid Arthritis kicks up. Life without a true goal has no definite beginning yet it has a definite ending. That's some real shit I just said. LIFE WITHOUT A TRUE GOAL HAS NO DEFINITE BEGINNING YET IT HAS A DEFINITE ENDING.

Recycle.

$26 easy. The way I break it down for easy calculations: Two weeks worth of saving cans and bottles equates to One weeks' worth/a free tank of gas with a few bucks to spare. So you can cop a bag a Doritos and Arizona Tea while at the gas station.

Inhuman Thing.

Beneath my text lies an inhuman thing that gives each reader a sense of my devotion to justice and a greater heart. Many call this a true trade or art portrayed by a heart betrayed.

Beneath my text lies an inhuman thing that gives each reader a sense of my thrill for life with precise descriptions of my wars for wisdom and battles for bravery.

[It's the bravery that made me...]

Beneath my text lies an inhuman thing that gives each reader a sense of what's in front of my eyes and what's behind me so I blindly leead them to the roots of the truth of this inhuman thing.

The inhuman thing being me.

College Health Seminar #4.

Very rarely do I get to indulge in anything healthy. Ideally, I'd be copping groceries at Fresh N Easy all the time but being on this college student budget, I'm at Costco and Smart N Final. Lately I've been stepping up my fruit game up by eating lots of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and bananana's. Most of the time I just dump it all into the blender with the Fat Free leche and get my Jamba Juice on. To flush out all the Tam's and Little Ceasars garbage, I use a tablespoonful of Flaxseed which is a bombass way to get your fiber and Omega-3 Fats up.

Where I Be/ It's A Recession.

I spend a lot of my time on my campus. I work in the Financial Aid Office part-time and I have class 3 days a week. When I don't have class, I'm working. Ask your counselor about the Federal Work/Study Program at your school so you could be Boss-Hoggin' like me.

My school consists of two main buildings; One with all the classrooms and one for student services, finance, financial aid, human resources, and library. Currently in construction is the new Nurses building which should open it's doors Spring 2009.

The Great 2009 Recession, as I like to call it, has finally affected me. The cost of tuition will be rising by next year. Perhaps your school is doing the same. My university, such as many other companies and universities, has been cutting costs and faculty. For example, our grass and trees will be cut less often to save on maintenance expenses. My suggestion is to pick up a few hispanic day laborers and cut the costs by more than half. Know what I'm talking 'bout?

Has this recession affected you? I quit my job from Mervyns before they went out of bi'ness. Krispy Kreme, Sbarro's Pizza, Six Flags, and Blockbuster are sweatin' right now.

Happy Birthday, Doc Dre.

Today is Dr. Dre's birthday. I can't imagine how he's feeling considering his son, Andre Young, was recently found dead. He did follow his Pops and put out some music going by the surname "Hood Surgeon". A father should never outlive his son.


If you don't know about Detox, then you better step up your HipHop game.

Dr. Dre/Snoop-Nothin' But A G Thang

"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

The Hundreds Is Gone.

Many of you who read my blog are familiar with The Hundreds. I've been a big fan of their clothing line and blog for about 3 years now, before "streetwear" become a whored popular culture. Back then, this type of streetwear actually had meaning because it was the era of the white XXXL Tall Pro Clubs. So of course, if you were rocking a shirt that was fitted correctly, you were looked down upon. But now, you've got a plethora of streetwear names that have become popular in the past two years such as Stussy, The Hundreds, 10Deep, and Crooks and Castles.

This is for my friends who've been riding with The Hundreds for as long as I have: Has The Hundreds reached their peak? Are they facing a decline in the substance and meaning of their clothing line and blog? You know what I'm talking about. I know you looked at that whackass Bun B collab like "wtf?" And when they teamed up with Kurupt...of all the classic West Coast rappers, they team up with Kurupt and release a shirt. We couldn't get Dr. Dre or Ice Cube?


If you're like me, you check their blog more than once daily. But lately, I could care less about the BS Bobby posts up. They've lost sence of what we the consumers want to see. I could care less about the damn arcade in their office. You feel me?

I've got the answer: Johnny Cupcakes.

This is a brand that sticks to it's theme through every item pressed. The company is built on a whole cupcakes/bakery goods theme.
The main thing I appreciate about Johnny Cupcakes is how they give back to it's supporters through raffle contests, store parties, and giving lectures at universitites and high schoools.

The blog is relatively better than The Hundreds, IMO. I've been trying to find out what kind of camera Jonny uses.
