i won't grow up...i dont want to go to school...

the got fresh?TM scene has been looking bland for over a week, so its time for me to put something up. since i see that many of you guys enjoy the blog and try to visit it on a daily basis, i feel i have deprived the public of necessary information so they could carry through with the rest of their everyday schedule. i think im going to give yall a throwback, the setting: neverland, those involved: rufio, hook, and peter pan... the topic at hand: growing up!
my man peter-pan and his entourage of the lost boyz had a simple motivation for life: i don't want to grow up. peter-pan was probably the best character that television ever introduced to the public, a rebel who had a shadow that taunted him and refused to ever grow up, while flying of course. im living life now, as a 16yr old in maryland awaiting my license and my first real job, and im wondering what the blood (shout outs to thomas) was this dude thinking...he didn't want to grow up? hell i probably would have felt the same way if i had a taunting shadow and a fairy companion, but im living in reality and my everyday struggles are just aggravating, i want to graduate and be done with school.

if i had my choice though, i would live as a 7 year old for the rest of my life, its weerd (holly-weerd: have you ever made love to a weerdo?). but hear me on this one: the best days of your lives were when you were seven, you just met the wonderful world of school, with little homework and stress. you had your play girlfriends/boyfriends (everyone was straight by the way), no one was really left out because bullying started in 2nd-3rd grade, everyone was your friend. everyone could be considered popular because you really didn't not like anyone, everyone was cool in their own special ways in your eyes. when you were 7 you played sports for fun, and not for scholarships, you had sleepovers with your best friends and would watch power-rangers all night... its sad that i had to grow out of this stage, but of course in reality you must grow up.

march madness baby!

so today embarks the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament!
but of course the big dance doesn't make any noise without a few upsets, or near death experiences for the elite teams. but if you're looking for upsets you may want to run down to tampa bay where 5th seeded clemson lost to 12th seeded villy!? or perhaps 13th seeded siena or 4th seeded vandy!? please i havent even heard of siena as a college (yahh i need to STEP MY GAME UP!) but if anyone saw drake losing to western kentucky or connecticut losing to san diego , wow you take some risks on your bracket but you did prevail!



but i guess the talk of the day had to be Duke's near loss to Belmont, how Duke pulled through i have no idea but they did it, which I was quite upset about if there is one team i hate in the NCAA it is duke and im not a UMD or UNC fan either, its just hatred. Edit: Duke lost today to WVU :)

but my main bracket hasn't been totally screwed-up, all the core teams that i wanted in are still in... catch my Final Four: UCLA - Memphis - Tennesse - Georgetown with UCLA at Georgetown in the Championship game but i think UCLA will take it all home.

the wire

i know i am a little delayed on stating the beauty of this show, but i have really just found greatness. yesterday, i was bored out of my mind, and seeing that it was 12am i saw that the night was still young, i see my uncle's rack of dvds and i find the wire seasons 1 and 2. i've heard a lot of talk about the show so i pop season 1 in and get to work. and i can definitely say i am impressed...what are your thoughts? check out the wire season 1 recap

lazy sunday

it's the first sunday of spring break and instead of out partying im stuck in bethesda without a thing to do but watch movies all night...this may not seem fun to most, but its the best i could manage with this lazy sunday. im trying to have as much fun as possible tonight by having a variety of movie images burned into my eyeballs.

but enough complaining of the night, lets speak of the day.
so today is known as Palm Sunday and this is how my Palm Sunday went:

first I was woken up at 8.30am to attend church, no complaints.
after then attending church i felt why should i be stuck at home all day? and in answering that question i decided to hittup the new stussy chapter store in our nation's capitol. for those that know me i tend to get hungry quickly, and when i am hungry i get restless...so i headed to the nearest fast food restaurant to better my body's convenience and that happened to be good ol' Checkers. the thing about my arrival at Checker's today was not that i was extremely famished but it was the fact that i have never been to Checker's (im not playing with you). i see the commercials for the fast-food joint all the time, and i've probably only seen 5 Checker's restaurants in my 16yr lifespan. so i thought this was a time better than ever to check the place out. at first i was definitely perplexed about the restaurant's setup, it was not a normal fast-food setup, but those who wanted to order must advance to take their order in either a) the drive-through or b) the line outside... there was no inside to this place and it "killed me!" but let me fast-forward to my meal, i was expecting something great like the Luther Burger (check the Boondocks - the Itis for more info...and stay tuned for the luther burger on the blog in the next few days, it will be spectacularly disgusting) but i was short of impressed by this 1/4 pounder burger:

looks appealing, but is it really all that? the answer is no. the burger was similar to those found at mickyD's so i was definitely not impressed. maybe Checker's should start spying at Steak n Shake because they by far have my vote for the #1 fast food meals! if you are ever in the south please check em out, im begging. and for those that are asking "what about white castle?" i have your answer, i have never been to white castle but i am eager to find out about the taste of the meals, so next time i am in an area with white castle i will go out of my way to taste it for you!

but along with my trip to the stussy chapter store, first of all i most stress that those who need quick/reliable transportation into the capitol should always take the metro, nevermind the 30minute delays due to escalator disfunctions?! yah.. i know, but i finally arrived in dupont circle awaiting to take the 15minute walk to stussy/cmonwealth but the time wasted in the metrocars i had forgotten how strong the winds were... so i was being blown from side-to-side of dupont circle hoping i will be able to fly in the direction to the stussy store, which i was... and all that flying i did put me in a festive mindset, i felt like buying the whole store out, but i was brought back to reality when i realized how empty my wallet was :[ so i settled to purchasing a stussy tee, stussy strapback hat, and a stussy sticker for my mac and called it a day.

it took me longer to get to DC and to get back home than my whole duration in D.C., sad but true but at least i got some gear :)

spring is here

spring is practically here in the DMV, its getting warmer, flowers are blooming, im rubbing fire out of my eyes due to the spring/summer-time allergies, and of course things are getting a tad bit exhilarating. when i say its getting exhilarating i mean things are getting brighter and hyped in the DMV region let me explain why...

-track season has started, track of course may not be the most popular sport due to the extreme amounts of running in small time intervals, but track meets are something legendary. first and foremost, track meets are a great place to meet new people for runners and spectators, its fun to watch the fastest people in the state because they aren't famous but they are known, and they are known by you. i was lucky enough to experience many invitational track meets (including: counties, regionals, and states) and it may have been the most exciting parts of my life especially casue i was able to see records-broken and people-falling (hurdles or tripping). all and all it was fun, and its back

-WALE!!!, DC's "big deal," has recently signed a joint venture deal with Mark Ronson's Allido imprint and Interscope Records. this by far is probably the best thing that could jump-start this upcoming spring because WALE has been doing it big for a couple of years now, and it is about time he is getting recognition off of his beautiful music, as my cuzzo would say he causes eargasms (believe dat!). by the way peep his new joint, itz in the trackbox and it is hotter than fiyaah, why would i lie?

-spring '08 lines have been released! stussy, supreme, crooks & castle, and bbc/icecream have all released spring-summer '08 lines and its lookin hott pics below:

supreme racing jacket


bbc/ice-cream vest


stussy shirt/hoodie


crooks&castle tee's


..yah!

-LR BBall has made it to Maryland 3A State's for the 2nd time in 3-years. we've been doubted, against lake clifton, aberdeen, and atholton but guess what? the haterz have fueled us to play bigger and better than ever, so haterz do what you do best and HATE cause we're goin for it all.

*for those that want to support us...game info: March 15, 2008 3pm at Comcast Center (if im wrong get at me asap)

umm...LR is gettin crucial publicity as well?


...what else could make for a beautiful spring?


*shout-out to my homegirl shereen for tha pic of the final score!

STEP YA GAME UP: freshness

me and tazz are switchin it up on a weekly basis, so i brought it back to yall this week with an interesting topic of being (quote)(unquote)fresh.

enjoy:




**PS: i made this video a week ago, and at the beginning i was referring to the mistakes made in MY OWN (not tazz's) last video about $$**

a walk in my mind...

so today, I saw that we hadn't posted in awhile so I thought alright why should we always talk about entertainment, fashion, etc? why cant we just talk about our life, or what we think...cause thats probably much more interesting, what people think or do, than what new fashion lines are coming out...or what celeb is getting arrested on DUI charges

something that has been constantly on my mind is school. its something that is essential for a great future, but it is also a long part of life that most dread. and i am included in that most category. i know i'm definitely going to need education in my future since i aspire to be many different things (i can never come to just one career option, i want to be either a lawyer, entrepreneur, professional chef CATCH ME ON TOP CHEF!) but for all these possible careers i need to endure this painful experience called school. for those that are secluded from the world i thought i'd find a befitting definition for this word- school and found what this outrageous dude put up with a few of my own modifications

school: A place where everyone secretly hates each (cliques & classifications. check my girl lindsay lohan in mean girls for more info!) other including students, staff and teachers and is a nightmare. They force you to do useless work (which you will prolly NEVER use in your life) while they also expect you to put up with peer pressure, your home life, and social life.

so you cant explain school any better than that... its fun at times, but its dreadful for the majority of your 18years of life in school. my personal breakdown of what school has done to my life: 65% dealing with school work/studying - 15% sleeping - 10% chilling/relaxing (prolly in my office doing my taxes?!) - 5% making ridunkulous videos in piano class - 5% additional sleeping/rest (aka POWER naps, try it some time)

so truly, i dont hate school but i do despise it. i need it to take my life to a higher level of living (college life and professional life), but i feel that after i graduate high school i should be able to live a chillled/relaxed lifestyle lacking complaints and problems

**Possibly a new STEP YA GAME UP VIDEO tomorrow, any ideas for topics?
(aim: whoizshay)**

i conclude with a pix of me peepin the LR bball game (extra-curricular activities).


**big ups to LRHS bball for making MD Final 4**

Was Good Wit My Mans Wayne???

everyone that has seen a lil wayne concert or seen him perform live anywhere has seen him have a styrofoam cup is his hand. this cup contains syrup. and i know some of yall think its like the jank that we put on our pancakes and ish..but its not. syrup is medicine that you would use when you have a cold like nyquil or whatever mixed wit any type of drink. after wayne's family and friends encourage him to stop drinkin syrup he says he can't stop. he says it feels like death when you try to quit. here is what the dude said:

"It ain't that easy - feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that shit. You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff. Like I said, I'm a selfish-ass nigga. I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It's gonna be hard to tell me I'm slipping. It's hard to sit and tell a nigga 'Stop. Fuck, how can we tell this nigga to stop when every fucking thing he do is successful? This nigga is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that shit was amazing.' Feel me? So what am I doing wrong?" Wayne vented in a recent interview with MTV.
