summer

its almost summer and everyone is feelin' it, through the gorgeous weather or just the overall ambiance of the days left until summer is actually here. i'm personally excited for the summer, actually im ecstatic. the weather is great, music is pouring out into the public, there is cash to be made, and there are kidz to school on the court, belee dat. i'm almost done with school, there is a total of 14 days left for non-graduated high school students, check your calendars if you don't believe me. as for classes i consider myself done with 'em, i have taken all the core testing for the year and these teachers actually believe they will have me doing additional work other than study for their finals. i'm dunzo w/ school till next year babay.

i have the job waiting for me the day school ends, lifetime summer camp counselor, yzr i'm taking care of kidz maybe 3-years younger than me, i will definitely need the Lord's guidance. but there is money to be made! with that cash i will be getting serious with all aspects of my life, my clothing and kick game will be proper, my car will look and sound great (king kong will be in tha trunk), my electronic game will be on point, as if it werent already? just expect a new me when we come back from the break alright?

the hip-hop game right now is fire and mainstream rappers aren't totally responsible, check the cool kids new mixtape the bake sale EP, wale's mixtape about nothing is launching this week and there is much to be expected from that, marky released his homework 4.3. the summer's releases look radiant, mainstream and underground musicians are putting their all into their works and i'm pumped.

well i'm just ready for the summer mayne.

embarking on freedom.

as an adolescent it is difficult to find freedom, especially when your parents do nothing but love you; therefore, they restrict you. one of the greatest feelings a kidd could experience is their ability to drive freely without supervision. i have become one of these kidds, and i must say it is great. your parents care about you and wish the best for you, but sometimes they need to fall back (i love my parents, to be true). i gotta do me and do what needs to be done whether it is partying, chillin with my peoples, or just goin on an ceaseless journey, you feel me? so today was the first day that i actually experienced the thrill of driving around my area with no one telling me what to do or when to do it, its a great feeling and i feel bad for those who can't try it out for themselves...but remember i was once you. i prolly won't be able to experience driving to the fullest until summer, but boi-oh-boi am i ready for it. but while i do that i gotta get my car in gear: paint job/detailing, a crucial car-wash its well needed, interior boost, and get my muzik game on point with killer subwoofers so n!ggas hear me 'fore they see me, ya digg! but yall don't worry, in good time this person will be you and i'm guaranteeing its worth the wait

check my baby...

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.

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!

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**

"Fear Factor" pisses on integration

while browsing i came across a more than controversial issue... an issue that sets the bar of discrimination and racism way above everything.

a few college students made a spoof of "Fear Factor" which included the unusual eating of things that shouldn't be consumed and races of irregular proportions. so these college students, coincidentally of caucasion persuasion, had a couple of black housemaids enter this so called competition, and of course the first challenge was to eat a batch of stew with a special ingredient. as you can probably infer from the title, the special ingredient was none other than the sweet urine that we piss from our urethra... when brewing up this batch of stew the caucasion boys of course were laughing and giggling and having all types of fun while the girls awaited the surprise they were not ready for. upon eating the pissy treat the women of course vommited the hideousness right back out, and were also laughing and giggling... still not knowing what they had just let into their mouthes. at the end of the film the boys finished the production off with stating that this is how they felt about integration.

whoa buddy. this definitely sparked some controversy, its been awhile since there have been strong instances of racism in the media... how do yall feel about this one?

yah im tha s#!t

alright i thought i would change it up a bitt, not talk about fashion, music, sports, etc. but hitt yall up wit a taste of self-confidence... i kno i havent posted in a while, but i thought id utilize tha time given to me from this snow day!

im not a strong believer in bein cocky or arrogant, but i try to practice being modest; however, i have realized that at times people need to realize they are tha s#!t ya know? there is a time to be modest and not shove what you gott into peoples faces, but at times there are special occassions when you need people to understand that you are in-fact tha s#!t and you run this bitch ya feel me!? on particular days, you kno you feel like dressin up and feel like bein known that day by tha public, youll have a smile on ya face and every step you take will have a hint of arrogance, cause people need to recognize you, tell me im liein? there are days when you are chilled and jus dont care about what people think, but then there are other days when you need to be known by tha world, it comes once in awhile... but if it comes too often it could be a problem cause no one really wants to be around a cocky-arrogant son of a bitch everyday cause its ignorant you kno. but every once in a while you should have your day when people need to realize that you are not a regular person, but you are tha s#!t...

so realize your inner-beauty and show it off to the world, sparingly!
