Harmony Korine’s Umshini Wam

2011-03-28T20:20:00.001-07:00

Hilarious.

I viewed Harmony Korine's Umshini Wam Its pretty twisted, but a love story nonetheless.

Cycling

2011-01-17T19:56:00.001-08:00

Since January 2010 I have been cycling to work. Yes, I’m aware that its been a year, but lately I haven’t had the motivation to ride. I have yet to put some miles in. My job is actually 5 minutes away. I guess you could say I have it easy it that department. I’m hoping when the weather lets up I can ride A LOT more. In the meantime, check out this beautifully shot video over at Gage+Desoto.

Freezin Boogie

2011-01-17T00:38:00.001-08:00

With weather like this, I guess its better to stay home and do the bedroom boogie. I was just at Chris's site and came upon a new groovin track "It Goes Through Your Head" with a collaboration from Nite Jewel and Dam-Funk smoosh the two together and you get Nite Funk. Check it out.

Bike

2010-05-20T23:03:00.000-07:00

One of my friends got an ultra cool bike today. I love it when people
buy bikes. R.I.P. "Connie" she was awesome. Fu-Fu is great though!

Starting Over

2010-04-03T17:53:00.000-07:00

These past few months I have been out of control. I keep asking myself,
"Why Me? Why are bad things happening to me?" I do these things to me. I
am breaking myself down. I am slowly but surely killing myself. I can't
continue to go on like this. I am determined to start taking care of
Ashley. I'm gonna be twenty-five next month and I have accomplished
NOTHING. I was on the right path. I was determined to be a musician and
allowed god into my life again. I had goals and I achieved them. I was
so mad about SXSW. This was my year. I threw it away. I had it in the
palm of my hand. I'm not just saying these things. 80's Baby was GONNA
HAPPEN.I have to stop thinking about the past. I'm just gonna let go and
let GOD. Since I relapsed, He has shown me that I will not make it
without Him. Absolutely not. At the same time I'm really scared. I know
God is behind me. I will overcome this terrible affliction. I will start
over. I ask that everyone pray for me. This will not be easy. I'm gonna
start blogging again. Sorry for the short post.

PILLOW KISSES

2009-09-01T20:59:00.000-07:00

Aoki and Cobrasnake have done it again. They now have their faces on pillows! I think its pretty cool. I've always been a fan of cobrasnake. But what is a fan if she lives in Dallas and not LA? I'll tell you...NO FAN AT ALL. Sucks having to live here. Anyway these party hipsters have done it again. And its not for a bad price. $35 will get you all kinds of cool shit. Stickers, buttons, oh and the all new "Airplane Chronicles" from Steve Aoki. Who knows maybe they will copy their ass cheeks and send it your way. THE PILLOWFACE PACKAGE is most def a big package ya dig.

JAZMINE SULLIVAN

2008-07-30T13:53:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the non postage. Even though I doubt people read it. I had
the pleasure of being off today from work. Thank goodness because I'm
losing it. I was flipping through my music channels on my cable box and
I saw this video, didn't think much of it. For some reason I gave it a
listen. The artist is Jazmine Sullivan and her single "Need you bad" is
off the hook. I'm sure a lot of you that like to discover new talent
have already heard. I couldn't help but feel a bit nastalgic. Back in
the day when Neo-Soul(R.I.P.) was at its peak...I was all over that
shit. That and Reggae. I must have been in 9th or 10th grade. But at
that moment I realized that I found MY MUSIC. Artists from Lauryn Hill
to Floetry to Bob Marley to The Wailing Souls. I felt at home with the
heavy bass and snare drum. Not to say Jazmine fits into that genre. But
she definately takes me back. Once I saw the video I immediately got out
of bed and started dancing. No Artist makes me do that. Other than
Michael Jackson. I mean it was 9am when I saw it. The sleep still in my
eyes. There I was jigging and grooving too that heavy bass. Apparently
she's been doing this since she was 5 ot 6. Singing in her church choir
to singing with Stevie Wonder at 13. So its most def in the blood. And
she's only 21. Anyways she's on J Records. I think EVERYONE should give
her a listen. I'm gonna find out when she's touring. Hopefully she will
play at a small venue only because the vibe is so much better. Oh yeah
did y'all check the new SPIN MAG? 3 page article on Q-Tip. Ch Ch Ch
Check it out.

And I'm not all that crazy about techno. I mean some shit is good, but not all. I'm more into break beats, 2-step type shit. But hey all I can do is find out an see. So Ch Ch Ch Check it out!

JUSTICE

2008-03-06T11:32:00.000-08:00

Okay okay...My bad. I know I haven't updated in awhile. But don't fret.
IM BACK. Back to wreck it! So Tuesday was bananas. Justice was amazing.
The crowd? Eh, not so much. The crowd just wasn't really feeling it. A
lot of people we against the wall. Too busy at the bar. But that didn't
stop me from getting down. The afterparty was tight as well maybe cause
it was free. Anywho,THE PARTYis this Saturday at THE LOFT! Its only 5 buck. So get you arses out there and get down!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2008-01-31T14:01:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Kerry! How old are you? 21? haha. Anyway I thought I should post this because she happens to be my FAVORITE actress. I also wanna give a shoutout to Christina...Happy Birthday. So back to Kerry. Shes one of the most articulate, smartest, funniest actresses out there today. She has graced the big screen with movies like Last King Of Scotland, Ray, Our Song, Save The Last Dance, and Lift. These all happen to be my favorite movies. And I know some of you are wondering "well what about Fantastic Four?" Fuck Fantastic Four. I spent 40 bucks watching Kerry be in the movie for like 4 seconds. Screw that shit. Happy Birthday Girl!!!!

2008-01-31T11:36:00.002-08:00

Rachel introduced me to this. This takes me back forreal. Well not too back. I WAS born in '85. But still I used to watch all the breakin movies when I was in middle school.Its BREAK MACHINE with Street Dance. This is pretty badass ch ch ch check it out.

BOOGIE...

2008-01-30T12:32:00.000-08:00

I'm a huge fan of Tim Barber and whenever im done looking at ALL of his photos I head over to his portfolios page. And it has a list of amazing photographers. And one day I came upon "Boogie" it was an interesting name so I ch ch ch checked it out. This guy is amazing. I won't go too in detail about him I want you to see for yourself.
Alot of you might say that black and white prints are overrated. I don't think so. It really does add a dramatic, monochromatic feel to whatever is in your rule of thirds. Anyway ch ch ch check out the interview with Boogie. I don't care I still want to reside in Brooklyn.

Thanks PingMag

Nike Galore

2008-01-30T12:02:00.000-08:00

Oh yes check it out its the new Air Max 1. Soooo tight. I wouldn't be surprised if Nike's website offered that page where you can change the colors of the shoe. Eh doesn't matter. I love the color. I would probably get 2 pair. One to look good in and another to dance, skate, and bike in. YEEEEEAH!!!!

Get Ready...

2008-01-30T11:22:00.000-08:00

Oh man I'm so ready for this. Although if you ever tune into Kanye's Blog like I do you can sign up to be in the fanclub, but shit its 30 bucks. I can see where being in this fanclub would be helpful. You get discounts on his shows plus all kinds of other cool shit. ch ch ch check it out!

GLOW IN THE DARK DREAM

2008-01-30T00:23:00.000-08:00

Oh damn this thing is awesome. Once I saw this I had this like 15 sec montage going on in my head. Me and this glow in the dark god pushing up and down Eldorado. I'm a huge bike fan so excuse me for being nerdy. This is the Puma Glowrider, the 3rd edition to the Puma Bike. Its a single gear and its perfect for the hipster crowd mainly the ones that live in the city. It also has a badass folding device so you can fold this shit up and walk in elevators, your grandmas house, etc. PERFECTO! It also comes with clean ass gear. Water-resistant jacket, matching tee, and a matching courier bag. The express courier bag comes with a flap made of 3M material, which features a reflective pattern when hit by a light such as a car headlight. Should come our way April 2008! My birthday month!

Suburban Life

2008-01-26T03:05:00.000-08:00

Stanley Donwood always hated suburbia. And it so creepy how he shows it
through his artwork. I LIVE HERE! This is where I sleep and eat or
whatever else. Frisco, Tx ugh. So many soccer moms I think we could (cue
in my idea of making a short film about zombie soccer moms and blowing
their heads off and them running us down with SUVs. Motor skills?) make
an army. Anyway so bored today. Of course that's what happens when your
transportation doesn't incorporate a motor and 4 wheels(yeah yeah I know
there's more to it). Its too cold to ride my bike. And LIVING in the
boondocks and living in suburbia doesn't help either.Thanks Stanley for
helping me see the big picture. Scratch that, a portion of the big
picture. God I hate to ramble but I went over to harrys and watched some
crazy documentary about GANGS
in Glasgow. Kids killing kids. But its everywhere. So not much surprise.
But apparently its worse than Bahgdad. I highly think not. So even
though I hate where I live and get bored pretty easily at least im not
in Glasgow. Im eating my words. And yes Stanley is from somewhere in
London, but I hear its pretty bad there as well. Am I bashing him? No. I
admire anyone whose paintings can freak me out and open my eyes. Eek.

Sundance 08'

2008-01-25T12:30:00.001-08:00

Oh wow. Look kids its Sundance. I think Sundance is a bunch of crap this
year. I mean does anyone know if there's anything good showcasing this
year. I don't really. And maybe its because too many "A-list Celebs"
are trying to get their free shit and be out. This was always a lifelong
dream for me. To go to sundance and show my magic. Eh, Not so much
anymore. I mean its cool that its definately being more well rounded.
But this is just too much all this shit is making me sick. SXSW anyone?

THIS THING IS ADDICTIVE. Worst than myspace. Its horrible! It meets your
every fucking need. I know when to tell friends happy birthday! So
anyway that's what I happen to be doing at the moment. I'm watching
MEETING PEOPLE IS EASY by Grant Gee. I'm worried. Lets hope Radiohead
makes it to Dallas this time instead of Woodlands.
