Isaiah bobby?

Vanessa, a very special person in my life, told me on the phone a while back that I remind her so much of Justin Bobby, one of the stars from MTV's hit series The Hills. Of course I laughed and told her this was the stupidest thing I have ever heard, but when we got off the phone I began comparing my personality to his (from what I can tell from the show)

Ironically, Justin is one of my favorite characters from the show lol. If you watch The Hills you know Justin as Audrina's boyfriend. The rugged, motorcycle riding, flannel wearing, my way or nothing, asshole boyfriend as many people characterize him.

He seems to be so indifferent about everything, which is what makes him interesting beyond anything else. He doesn't seem to give a shit about Audrina, he says whatever he wants to her, and messes with other chicks right in her face,but then he can be the nicest, most sweet-talkin dude in the next breath lol. It's like he does things to her just to see how she reacts; just to get on her nerves to the point where she cries and has a nervous breakdown, but then he'll tell her something sweet to get her right back into his little game. He has a mind control over her, and of course his rebel, bad-boy personality draws Audrina and many other chicks to him as well.

Now, this doesnt sound shit like me right? Lol, I mean I dont ride motorcycles, and I dont have long ass hair with a beard. Okay I do like plaid though, I'm not gonna lie about that lol =).

But see Vanessa just thinks I do the same things to her that Justin does to Audrina. The whole mind control, be an asshole until she threatens to leave me, type of shit. Even though Vanessa and I aren't together lol. But yes, perhaps I do share some of Justin's traits. Don't get me wrong, I don't like seeing a girl cry, but I think Justin and I just have a way of getting what we want because we understand how girls work. Especially those like Audrina lol.

I don't know, Justin seems like a cool dude, but I doubt that we would have much to talk about if we met. Who knows, Vanessa may be right though, we might meet and become the best of friends lol. Funny shit nonetheless.

John Legend's girlfriend

Christine Teigen, an American model with a Tai-Norwegian heritage, is currently dating music artist John Legend. I'm not sure how long they've been dating, but if there were ever a couple that just looks perfect together, it is they. Just look at the pictures;Christine and John seem to compliment eachother ideally.

From a dude's perspective, I think she is a cutie. She has alot of features that you can find in the everyday girl (light skin, green eyes, long beautiful hair), but she has a unique look about her. Perhaps it's the Thai-Norwegian thing lol. Definately have seen cuter, but she is very attractive without a doubt!

Good luck! They seem like a couple Hollywood will embrace.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS, BECAUSE I SURE DID LOL. I HOPE EVERYONE GOT WHAT THEY WANTED, AND EVEN IF YOU DIDNT, I HOPE YOU WERE ABLE TO BE WITH YOUR FAMILY TODAY IF NOTHING ELSE. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL. LET US REMEMBER THE LESS FORTUNATE, AND MAY GOD BLESS THEM THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO JOIN IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON JOY :)


OH YEAH....HOW ABOUT THEM LAKERS?


WOOOOOOOO!

Thanks Jack!

"& Still" L.A

Yesterday I did alot of shopping in L.A, and I was walking out of the Stussy store on La Brea disappointed because they didnt have this sweater that I wanted, but as I was walking back to the car I peaked into this store and seen alot of colorful shit, so obviously it caught my attention lol.

So I go into the store and my initial reaction was, "Wow, this store is pretty fucking cool." Well, the store's name is "& Still" and the title is definitive of the store because it features all vintage sports gear from the late 80s and early 90s. If you remember, a couple of months ago I was looking for vintage snapback hats such as from the original Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, etc. and & Still was the perfect store for me because I found just what I was looking for. But the video will explain everything better than I can. I will definately use this as my source for snapback hats, all the other stuff just put a smirk on my face because it felt like I was a kid in the 90s again :)

halloween '09

So I think I figured out what/who I'm going to be if I dress up for Halloween next year.

DAFT PUNK!!

If you don't know who Daft Punk is, just think back to Kanye West's song "Stronger". You know the sample he uses for the song? That's Daft Punk. He also had them perform with him during one of his performances of the song, I forgot which award show it was though. But anyways, Daft Punk is one of the most interestingly bizzarre groups out there lol. They are famous for their futuristic and robotic sound, their glowing pyramids during their concerts and performances, but they are most famous for their cool helmets. I kid you not, they wear these things everywhere too! I dont think I've ever seen them without the helmets lol. Hope they have air conditioning built in.

Yeah, I think being one of the members of Daft Punk will be quite the ill costume. Shit, finding the suites and wardrobes will be easy...but those helmets? Umm not so much. Lol, but I'm gonna find some way!

Many dumbasses won't even know who I'll be, but that's their fault. I'll know, and now you'll know :). I'm all stoked now lol!

harder, better, faster, stronger.

Bush gets the Boot!

LMFAO!

all bad.

what I think on Ink.

Tattoos have been around since before most of us were born, but I think it is safe to say that over the past 2 years there has been a considerable increase in the tattoo hype. This has a strong correlation with the sudden reemergence of the V-neck shirt. In L.A especially, you see it all the time, as the self=proclaimed L.A fresh kid rocks his deep V-neck in an attempt to show off his cool neck and chest tats.

But seriously, should tattoos just be a mere fashion statement? Again, they have been around since forever, but I think with generations passed, they symbolized more than what people are using them for now. Today, it seems like people are getting them without even putting any thought into it. That's what I have a problem with; the purpose, not the actual act of getting "inked." If you want to get tatted, fine, that's perfectly okay, I only warn you to put thought into it and don't just do it to be in style. Somethin perminent should mean more than that...to me atleast.

Anyways, yeah, the tats are getting crazy. Most of the ones I have seen have been of really really stupid shit lmao. Really huge, chunky, and just stupid looking! LOL, what the fuck were you dudes thinking?!

But there have been a few that I liked though. Tats are not for me, I mean who knows, I might eventually get a small one of something that reallly has a meaning to me, but I doubt it.

One of the coolest ones I've seen, ironically enough, comes from one of the members of "The Cool Kids," a two member Hip-Hop group that epitomizes the 1980s in every way from their fresh retro clothes, to their music.

Mikey Rocks, the member I am referring to, has a sick arm tattoo that I was able to get a glimpse of during one of the group's recent interviews. The tattoo is drawn to where it appears to be the inside of his arm, the muscles and the skeleton, and it goes around his entire arm to give it a very real and vivid effect. The shit is dope to me, and if I were the tattoo-getting type, I would definately get something creative like this. I managed to find a few pictures of it via Flickr.com, shown above, so check them out. Couldn't find a perfect close-up shot, but these should be good enough to give you an idea of what it looks like.

People keep asking me what I think on the revamped "ink" craze, so here yall go lol. I dedicated a post to it; discussing the negatives and the positives. So next time you go to the tattoo parlor, please put some intense thought into what you will get . They dont wash off!

Just some advice from the squared circle. Feast or dismiss!

"Pinnochio Story"

So after relaxing on my first day back in L.A, I sort of fell asleep on the couch and forgot to catch Kanye on Saturday Night Live. Didn't set the DVR either. ALL BAD!

But thanks to kanyelive.com and a little youtube I was able to catch the performances which were pretty good. Kanye is definately getting better with his singing in his performances,
which is definately a plus to all the vocal critics.



The thing that really caught my eye was the crewneck he was wearing at the end of the show. The sweater is a piece from his new clothing line, "Pastelle", which should be dropping sometime next year according to Kanye and other inside sources. I definately hope this yellow crew drops in stores because I will definately hunt that baby down for a purchase! Looks worthy of closet space.

Anyways, it feels good to be home. Especially with Christmas being right around the corner :). I have alot to get done in these three weeks, so excuse me if I fail to deliver more junkfood during the time I'm out here. Until next time people, HAPPY HOIDAYS!

Household Name.

Yooooooo!

Im Famous!!!!!!

LOL, mark this as the first time anything with my face on it made it into the hands of people world-wide! Haha, check out the braids. The vest with the open cardigan over it lol? I was doing too much that day man =/.

My 10th grade English teacher Alan Sitomer, who is also a published author and three time teacher of the year award winner for the state of California, has just published his new book which discusses effective strategies and methodologies in teaching teenagers in a technologically crazed world. And yes, the picture on the front cover features ME! I remember going to his class for the "photoshoot" lol, that shit was so wild. Ah, seems like only yesterday (pardon the cliche).

His previous works such as Hip-Hop High School have been very well excepted and have received many postive reviews over the years. He's definately one of my favorite teachers of all time, because he exemplifies everything teachers are afraid to be and want to be at the same time. He shows the old-fashioned and stern teacher that you can be both cool and respected by your students; he proves that a teacher can be likeable and prevent from being a pushover at the same time. "Mr. Alan," as we call him, is definately one of the teachers I plan on keeping in touch with throughout my life.

But yes, this is the first, but certainly not the last time I plan on gracing the cover of a publication. Maybe it will be GQ's top 100 most successful men. Who knows. But my dream is for it to be the first publication of my own magazine that I plan on starting after I polish my journalism skills in Grad School. I have many ideas inside my crazy head that I want to the world to feast upon. I'm going to make art I promise! I'm trying to go international! Look out for me! Go support Mr. Alan!

Lakers, Cavs, Celtics look Solid!

I know the NBA season is still at its beginnings, but judging from the near flawless start of three of its teams, I think it's pretty safe to make assumptions for further down the line.

The Lakers (17-2), The Caviliers ( 17-3), and The Celtics (20-2) are in a league of their own; quickly isolating themselves from the other "elite" teams in the league. Stifling defense and team cohesiveness have been the teams' strong points and has sailed them to victory, most of which have been by fairly large margins.

Again, it's too early in the season to predict that these three teams will be included in the final four on a quest to the Finals, but it sure as hell looks that way! Who's gonna beat them? But I guess we shall just watch and see what happens.

But as you know, if I had to choose... its GO LAKERS all the way!

...and FUCK BOSTON!

Fast-forward.

I don't know how or why, but a couple days ago I found myself thinking ahead a little bit
to the days where I will have children. My last post had nothing to do with these thoughts lol, just a big coincidence.

But yeah, I was chilling with some of my foos and I randomly brought up the subject of baby names. No no no, dont worry fellow bloggers, I don't have nothing to tell yall...I havent gotten anyone pregnant, atleast I dont think so lmao. No, but the thought just occured as to what I will be naming my children and a couple key names came to mind

Okay, for a boy, I really only have one name in mind if I were to have one (I definately want atleast one boy and girl). The name is "Jordin" or "Jordan" (I haven't worked out the intricate spelling details yet lol). Being a big MJ 23 fan all my life, and just having an inherent liking towards the name, I think it would be perfect for my son. My friend mentioned that she only knows of girls with the name, and I know 2 Jordyn's who are girls myself, but the name is a neautral-sex name so idgaf!

Plus I have girl names already in mind. I was thinking about the names London (Londen), Paige, and Dawn. When I think of these names think of beautiful shit like sunsets, flowery valleys, and waterfalls lol. It's perfect for a beautiful girl, the type of beauty a daughter of mine WILL have. Oops, let me not jinx myself. Well, their momma is sure as hell to have it, I know that much lol!

Depending on your name, you may take offense to what I am about to say...but as with everything I write here, I certainly dont give a fuck :).

I want my kid's names to be both unaverage, but non-ghetto at the same time. Too many times to people, black people in particular, desire to make their child's name unique, and in an attempt to do so, they forget that they will one day have to fill out job applications and put someting like La'Quesha, Tyronna, and Demonde on the paper lol. Sorry, not my seeds!

The time when I will settle down and have kids is so far in the future that there's really no pont in discussing this now, other than it just being interesing. I'm only 18, sex to create children is not exactly something integrated in my philosophy right now if you know what I mean lol.

Be that as it may... the future Sheltons? Damn, what a thought!

... Okay now back to reality. Finals! EEEEEEK!

Doing big things in small packages!

This was a must post for me. Lol shit like this makes me even more anxious to become successful and have kids so that I can shower down love and freshness upon them.

Yo click on the picture to get a bigger version and check out the look on the little boy's face lol. Classic!

touched down.

HOMEEEEE!

back in L.A

back to civilization lol.

I truly missed home and it's
many prospects, both humanly
and visually. My family, friends,
skyscrapers, and shopping districts.

Thanskgiving was great, Grands made me
a big ass banana pudding which I will happily
consume after writing this. Matter fact, let's
make this a short post because I can't wait anymore.

Club Kiss tomorrow night? Perhaps. Peace!

road trip anyone?

Yo, this is not a joke.

Gas is fucking $1.99 now here in Davis, California!
"sources" told me it's like $2.12 in L.A so I guess
everybody should be pretty happy right now.

I Don't think I've ever seen this low of a price posted at a gas station.
It's a new day.

808s & Heartbreak Review

It's here young ladies and gents! The final version of Kanye West's very inticipated album "808s and Heartbreak" finally leaked on the internet today. So if you just downloaded all the songs individually or downloaded the fake drop that came out about a week ago, you need to re-think your decisions and re-download because some of the songs have been re-mastered and changed. Impatient asses!

Anyways, after listening to this album...no homo... but it is simply BEAUTIFUL. The production is so fresh; so well crafted; so mastered. No it is not traditional Hip-Hop, and no it is not R&B, but I think Kanye truly created his own genre in doing this. The lyrics aren't soaked in clever metaphors and similies, but the words still capture a sense of depth because of what they are about and what he discusses through catchy symphonies. Plus the "T-pain" autone thingy doesn't even get annoying, which I was afraid it would.

Yes I still love the Hip-Hop Kanye more, and I am anticipating his next rap album, but I still like this phase; this new style; and I love the album. Different isn't always better, but in this case it is.

I say download it first to listen, and then go cop that shit on the 24th! It's worth it.

The Squared Circle gives the album a 4.5/5.

the .5 drop is just an acknowledgement of reality, which is that
nothing is ever perfect. Great job Kanye!

p.s The album cover above is a special edition design by Kaws. I thought it was pretty cool; definately my iPod Touch album art for the album :).

See Jesus, See Judus.

Coldplay + Jay-Z - Lost Remix.

Favorite Rapper. Favorite Band.

PEEP.

Alternative tuition spending.

College is very expensive.

Gucci is very expensive.

Check out this ill embroidery leather jacket by Gucci which retails at about 2 Grand if I remember correctly. I came across this beauty at Saks Fifth about a month before I left college. Don't know how effective it would be for Winter; you might need to stock on graphic hoodies, cardigans/crewnecks, and peacoats if you're worreid about fashion accompanied by warmth, but high end fashion items like this can be rocked year round.

You'll probably never see a dude on the street with this on.

But to me, that makes it all the more fresh.

FOUL play.

A little "disagreement" that unfolded in a Rockets vs. Suns game about a week ago. I figured it was funny enough to post. Watch how Shaq tosses McGrady like a giftcard from D.E.M.O lmao.

Vroom Vroom Bitch!

I remember back when the Nike craze was focused on the Air Force 1. Now it's all about the cushiony comfort of the Nike SB Dunks and Blazers. This is inescapable hype, so just purchase with caution and make sure you really like them...atleast that's how I do it.

And I'm gonna love every second of these sexy hoes right here.

The Blazer Elites or "Motorcyle Jacket" edition Blazers as they have been so clevery nicknamed is everything you want in a sexy ass shoe. The black leather, the slippery-when wet red velvet lining in the inside...wheww getting hot in here.

Yeah, these will be my first pair of Blazers in a long time. I haven't been feeling the colorways or the constant all suede make-up that has been appearing lately; but these bring a different element, all in the simplicity of the shoe.

For all the TRUE sneaker lovers, circle these in your agendas.

stoked.

thanks Ty.



lol what an ad.

it's almost here. STOP LEAKING TRACKS!

OBAMA WINS!

It's over, it's all over

Barack Obama has been elected as the 44th President of
the United States!

Thank you America, from the youth to the old; thank you. We proved that we have a voice. We erased the sterotypes of apathy and in turn we are on our way to fundamental change for the future.

Many people are running around screaming "Yay, our first black president," and while I too am touched at the thought, and now the reality of seeing the struggle that has been fought for so long finally pay off in such magnitude, I realize that Obama means more to our nation as a whole. He means a chance to rebuild our reputation as the best country in the world; he is our vehicle towards a better nation for ALL Americans...not just the dude that owns the fucking oil company.

McCain would be a great president for another time, but not right now. Right now we need Obama, and that's what we got.

Don't let the shit end here though. Keep your eyes open and keep following what's happening. Don't let this campaign measure your concern, lets prove that our hope exceeds past this day...I know I will.

Damn, it's just so amazing. History has been made. Yeah, I know I didn't vote based on race, but as I sit here and think more and more about it...I've never been more proud to be Black. This means so much for us as a people...this shows that in today's America, impossible is nothing. Finally, somebody making MLK proud. I dont know about you, but Iam truly inspired. I admit, when he was giving his speech...I almost cried.

I'll forever remember this day; the day we all played such a key part in creating. Thank you, and as Obama said, "Change has come to America."

YES WE CAN!

...and we wait

NOVEMBER 4th

APPROACHES!!!!!!

Snapback!

I love vintage shit, and I love retro "re-ventions" as I like to call them. The skinny jeans, huge wayfarer and aviator sunnys, sneakers, and of course...the snapback hat just to say a few. But man oh man do I want a charlotte hornets snapback! To me, the hornets have always had the best colorway in the entire NBA. That teal and purple compliment eachother better than T-pain and the autotune ever will.

Unfortunately, they don't sell these things in your common hat store, so I gotta do some looking around in order to find a hotspot that carries these retro snapbacks. I need that Hornets one more than anything, then we'll move on to the Bulls, and we'll see where I go next.

Yes yes, this movement is slightly hype, so that makes me a hypebeast right? WRONG. I'll never wear anything I don't truly like. To me, fashion should be an endeavor where nobody else exists at the moment one reaches the register...let your own influence guide you, we all love compliments, but let that remain secondary. Got it? Okay :)

Anyways, where can I get these hats? Let me know!

"If I Were A Girl"

So yeah, I'm sure by now that everyone who pays any attention to music and pop culture has heard Beyonce's new song "If I Were A Boy," and hopefully you have seen the video too, which I must admit is pretty awesome and creative. However, my friend David and I watched the video with a group of girls and afterwards decided to make some fun and make our own "song" called "If I Were A Girl," (NO HOMO!). Lol it was really just the counter to everything Beyonce was saying, we talked about the flaws of the typical female personality and how it affects dudes on a daily basis and in our relationships. Enough about the two-timing, jive, heartless guy...what about the ills of the female?

*try to read it with the melody of the original song lol*

If I were a Girl, I wouldn't thirst him.
Calling asking where he's at when he already
told me he was going to the gym!

If I were a Girl, I would just say what I mean.
Instead of asking a fucking question when I already
know the answer, I swear I would just learn how
to read in between!

If I were a Girl, I would count flirting as cheating,
and not simply just say "Oh its harmless" and give
other dudes my number and pretend like in the future
it wont affect anything.

If I were a Girl, I would basically be much smarter.
I wouldnt go over a dudes house in a tanktop and little
booty shorts and then pretend like we weren't going to
f*ck when my outfit already suggests that we were, I swear
I wouldnt just want a dude because he already has a girl..If I were
girl.

If I were a Girl, I wouldnt call him names, that I would get mad
if he called me...basically If I were a Girl I wouldnt play all the
little stupid ass games!

the end :)

lmao. Maybe a little un-Isaiah like, and a little corny, but TRUE!

11th commandment.

VOTE OR PERISH!

On his blog, Kanye described what these pictures entail as "Life changing," and I think his words alone epitomize what this upcoming election means for our country.

If you are 18 years of age or older and haven't already registered to vote,fuck reading the rest of this...go do it NOW! This election, rather you're Democrat or Republican (or like me, you vote based on who best fits what the country needs at that time), is one of the most pivotal elections in
history.

Be informed, don't just appeal to popularity and vote based on who "Pop Culture" aligns with. No doubt, having a man of ethnic decent as our next president would be extremely dope, but to base one's vote on such grounds makes one ignorant in my book...and even though I dont mind saying that I am voting for Obama, his race is the least thing determining my vote.

But in the end, we all vote based on our own paradigms and what we feel to be of integral importance in our lives and the country, so whatever motivates you, just exert that energy at the polls and let your voice be heard. This is my first time voting and since alot of people my age will be reading this, it is you guys' first time too... Lets start this shit off right!

Youth; America's
pulse.

the Wayfarer

If you are lucky enough to have lived in the 80s, then you are probably no stranger to the infamous"Wayfarer" sunglasses made famous by the eminent Ray Ban. Well, like skinny jeans and spandex, the wayfarers are back! I've admired the design ever since seeing the movie "Risky Business" with Tom Cruise, and the fact that the design has returned to prominence should make every fashion bleeder happy. Many companies have tried the style since Ray Ban did it so many years ago, but the little signature in the top right hand corner of the frame and on the side of the shades still means alot...matter of fact, it means about $150 dollars worth lol. Thats how much the Ray Bans run for, but it wouldnt be considered a knockoff if you grabbed you a cheaper pair, because like I previously said, the design has been made so universal.

Radiators are great, but nothing captures the elegance and style like the wayfarer. Check the pics out and see what I mean:

HA! From the Blues Brothers, to JFK, to Nicole Richie, to Lindsay Lohan, to Kanye, to Pharrell, and to many others... we see the versatility and the history of these sunglasses. It's not just about fashion...its just history that you don't learn in your history class. I Teach! :).

I call it: "The Scientist"

So yeah, in my English 5 class (Writing Fiction) I turned in my first piece of fiction ever! I always write, but they tend to be more on the abstract ideas of the real world...but hey, I just had fun with this shit and I'm proud with the result. Check it out!

The Scientist

“JUST BE CALM” was all the voice over the microphone was able to muster. I mean, after all it was just a voice to me anyway. But I suppose I couldn’t blame him, nobody should really- seeing as though the human fabric is only malleable at the dangers of self harm- how could I expect the rollercoaster operator to show genuine concern for a group of obnoxious teenagers dangling upside down at the very peek of theme-park ecstasy. Philosophically it would be…

“Thomas!”

“What?” I shouted back at her, not dogmatically as the question presented, but you know; a soft shout.

“Do you realize that this thin little belt is the only thing that prevents our plummet into the ground,” she said, but continuing before I was able to think of a comforting gesture, “Why do you seem to drift off into space as if you haven’t a worry in the world?” “I do have worries” I responded, “I worry that the vein protruding from your forehead will fulminate any minute now!” Yes, she smiles! I’m shocked she even knows what “fulminate” means though.

“Don’t tease me at a time like this, it is so not funny,” but despite her words, the smile and her dimples, the talk of all the guys in town, gave her away more than her ambiguous English could.

Amber was unlike any other gal I’ve ever met. She was so beautifully flawed. One would assume the task of figuring out her person within a matter of minutes, yet she is the antithesis of herself in the next breath. It was only our first date, but the small town of Hutchinson, Massachusetts enabled me an early blueprint for the person I had the mission of filling in. She’s one of those girls that gives as she receives. Be nice to her and you’ll be treated nicely back. Where has that gotten anyone in life? Her personality was just not logical, but it was extremely compelling. How could a girl headed for Boston University be so…

“I swear to Gosh, is any one even in there?”

Wow, “Gosh” instead of “God”. A multi-dimensional joke, how exciting. She then maneuvered her hand gracefully across my brow in order to knock on my head to make her humor more apparent, but as it was already obvious, the length of her arms simply were not forgiving. The weight of those five gold plated bracelets didn’t help either. Seriously, how could a girl need so many wants? Louis Vuitton this, BCBG that; she was definitely keeping up with the Jones’ as they say.

“So tell me babe, how much did you spend on your outfit tonight? It looks great, don’t get me wrong.”

“Well that’s all that matters then right?”

“Well I still would like to know; you know, just for my own inquiry.”

“Fuck Tommy, I don’t know! Who looks at price tags in the 21st century anyways?”

Again, a question that I felt did not necessitate my answer. I shook my head at her superficiality, but I did it within my head. Didn’t want to give my thoughts away.

“JUST A COUPLE MORE MINUTES KIDS, BEAR WITH US” the detached voice echoed.

“They need to hurry up, ugh, worst night ever,” she complained, finishing with a sigh to add icing to the cake she had just fed me. “Are you not having a good time?” I questioned, perhaps genuinely, but maybe not. She gave a cold “are you kidding me?” stare; I wasn’t foreign to that face. She gave me a similar one when she seen my 1975 Chevy that I came by to scoop her up in. This time it did have a different aesthetic to it however; maybe it was a vision only applicable to our current bat-like nature. Her long brown hair seemed endless against the grounded clouds. I could not see its end from my position; I could not see her beginning from any position.

“Although it isn’t my fault, I am quite sorry about how this turned out.”

“No, Don’t apologize. You’re right it isn’t your fault.”

Ha, so easily apologetic. Jesus Christ, where is this girl’s brai…

… “Just try to be a little less weird sometimes, k?”

“Weird! What the… how in the hell am I weird? You are the one with no definitive personality. Small vocabulary, then slight eloquence; fashion junkie, but Boston University intellectual supposedly. Who are you?”

“See, there it goes right there. That question alone epitomizes Thomas Garrison. There is a brilliant guy in there, yet the way you allow yourself to flourish is by questioning things for which there is already an answer; you question actions, not really seeking for responses, but more so seeing how the question is approached which – what you think – in turn grants insight into the person. You don’t desire to know why I think you’re weird, because you strive for this exact persona so that it may isolate you from human nature and allow you to enter an objective world full of criticisms, a lack of emotion, and experimentation of people. The opposite sex especially; ME!”

I was flabbergasted. Now she chooses to show the skill that not only got her into such a prestigious institution, but also answering the question of why she’s even on this date with me in the first place. She is me, but seemingly better at it. What in the hell just happened?

“ALL DONE LADIES AND GENTS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY”

We finished the loop, but my world remained upside down. Her long brown hair revealed its end into her lap, resting like her hands upon her teal shaded dress. She was now more beautiful than ever. I never noticed how soft her chestnut painted skin looked; I wanted to touch her for the first time, not just dissect her. It seems as though my heart had just won the gold, but only silver for my mind.

“Dude, get up? Why are you still sitting there?”

And I rose. I was now the hunted.


Don't get how the title fits the story? You're so stupid! lol :)

Dorm Diaries.

So I moved in to my dorm at UCD this past Sunday :). I will be here for an entire year (not all the time of course) so hopefully I like the set-up right? Lol, well I do...so far. My roomate seems chill and my suitemates too. I still have my STEP bros & sis's that I met this summer so that's dope! Everything is laid back right now, nothing juicy to write yet. Classes start this Thursday so Isaiah might be M.I.A for a while until I get my reading and shit done lol. Anyways, the dorm diaries have begun...let's see if college is all what it's cracked-up to be!

Frat parties anyone? Hahahahaha!

heart attack

"I can't keep myself and stilll keep you too."

my favorite line from Kanye's new single "Love Lockdown." This shit is soooo fire. Ever since he shocked us all by performing it at the VMAs I've been waiting for the song to leak on the internet...and it did...kinda. The version that is out now is NOT the final version and this comes straight from Kanye himself...well his blog. He says he re-recorded the vocals and is mastering it right now. Thank God because that shit didn't sound so good lol especially the course.

new album in December? "808s and Heartbreak"? I'll be back later, because if this is true, I gotta get my Christmas list started. Ha!

I love LA

I swear when I settle down with my beautiful wife, kids, and American Express black card (wealth?) I'm living in Los Angeles... the best area of course. I love it out here, and after being gone for a month I truly missed the fast pace, the fresh people, and the over all vibe.

Can't wait to see all my foos before I leave again

LA checklist:

1. Rest!
2. Spend time with fam
3. See all my bros and chicks
4. Shop shop shop shop
5. haircut?

It's gonna be hard, but I think I can accomplish all this in a week. Lets go!

Kissing Los Angeles on Saturday

:) Catch meeeee

Love Lockdown!

fall off? out of question.

this dude is incredible. For those of you who didn't peep the VMAs (me included, college deprives you of television lol...one bad thing about it) Kanye closed the show I believe with a performance of his new new new song "Love Lockdown." I had to catch the show via MTV.com but even through the computer screen you can tell just how on fire the performance was. Glowing drummers? From the tour, we already know who's the master at that.

Anyways, the song sounds hot too. A different style of Kanye, no rapping, but I like the innovation.

Where the fuck is the HD mp3? Leakkkkk already!



you like?

beast.

mmmmm fire. OUCH! hot!

Resurrection!

I'm BACKKKKKKK!

Damn; I know, I know...it's been forever right? I missed all you readers, but more importantly I missed my mind and thoughts being spread out right before me. So, with that being said...I'm back and feeling a bit refreshed.

REFRESHED - college boy

A while back I talked about how my days in LA were numbered due to me leaving for college...well the sun finally set for me there and now I'm here in Sacramento. Oddly enough, although I'm going to be spending the majority of my time here for the next 4 years, I still consider it my second home, with Los Angeles being my first =). I will be out there in about 2 weeks when this summer program ends before I have to come back a week later for the quarter to start, so me and my bros and my chicks have to tattoo some memories before my "real"departure.

(tats = metaphor.)

Anyways, It's really chill out here. If you know me, you know I'm really approachable and I can meet people easily so it was no problem for me to make friends with a bunch of cool people...DIFFERENT people. These foos have so many stories, backgrounds...so diverse...i love that shit about people. But we all know how to have stupppid fun and do our work too. Can your ass do that?! lol

I swear we have so much fun. Besides going out places, just being up in the dorms at 3:00 a.m taking about weird, funny, crazy shit is one of the best parts about this experience. Around that time in the morning, you know like I know...almost EVERYTHING is fucking hilarious!

Jr, Rob,Rudy,David,Matt,Alex,Christine,Kacey,Morgan,Michell'e, Brandon, Solei, Taylor, Jamila, etc etc.

All those cool ass UCD foos. Damn and it's only been two weeks!

AHHH! I miss home though. I want my mommy =(. Lmao, lowball serious! Some of you, like I said, IDGAF about... but I make myself obvious, so with that, you already should know if your missed or not.

Well, Isaiah is not dead bitch! And if you say I was, I guess that just makes me resurrected. Either way I'm back =)

the blog has a pulse...again!

Neima <3

Before I say anything regarding the person of whom this post is titled after, let's just say that over the past few weeks I've realized that my blog can be found on lots of people's "recently visited websites" so seeing as though people are craving my junkfood, I will not take it as an opportunity for an "ego trip," but I will just prepare myself for future slander and scrutiny on my posts... bet i sleep comfortably lol.



But anyways, fuck that, this post is intended for a very special, and yet fairly new person in my life...her name is Neima and she has one dimple. one DEEP dimple lol, I love it. But yeah, we've grown to be really close friends since we've met not long ago. I'll admit as I started learning about the specifics of her current life, her past, and the type of friends she has...I was a little intimidated haha. She's of the upper crust, kinda high end like, but those are the type of chicks I love. Independent, well-off, smart (apsirations of being a Bruin), and a cutie. I've met too many bomb[k] self-centered, surfaced, and uncertain girls in my life and it's good to have finally met one that has her head on straight and also shows genuine interst in the complexity of my person. She just responds perfectly basically lol. I don't mind dedicating posts to people that I feel to outshine others in my life, which is my motivation for dedicating this to Neima...I'm not trying to earn points from her lol...infinity is already in my reach! HA! jk, but yeah too abd we didn't meet while she still dwelled in LA, she lives way in fucking Washington now. But watch, winter break, when she's out here and I come back here from college...we'll live this shit up!

Can't wait bitchesssssss. Oh, ok you're free to be envious now. Post is over :) lol jk. Don't
take this out of context! >=0

PEEEEP this!

So i just came across this ill video righhhht...naww I'm lyin, my bro Marvin told me about it lol, but stfu its tight so it doesn't matter! =) So yeah, listening to only hiphop won't get you anywhere and then you miss out on crazy shit like this. The song isn't necessarily my cup of tea (green tea) however, it's called D.A.N.C.E by Justice, but the video shadows the less appealing harmony. Anyways, enough with my fingers moving fast and shit, just peep it for yourself. Reminds me slightly of the "Good Life" video by Ye and T-pain so if you were feeling that...you'll love this.

Sacramento in less than an hour

So yes, the day has finally come. As the sun sets here in Los Angeles, it is symbolic of my days here now being at rest. The future is now, and I am leaving to Sacramento for the summer program at my college (UC Davis) soon as my mom, bro, and pops get here with the rented car. smh at slow ass people lol. But yes, this isn't my final departure so perhaps I should have saved that opening sentence for when I actually leave for the semester (Sept. 22nd), but I will be gone for a month however. Yeah this should be fun... oh yeah, save the tears until I leave for the year.

Goodbye LA, sexy bitch. See you soon!

"I put onnnnnnn"

ahhhhhhhhhh

I can't get this damn song out my head. Well, really Kanye's verse. It just keeps going through my head and every since I told people, they keep typing me lines of the song through AIM just making it worse lol. But yeah, I guess it's because I really like his part. It's not the typical flashy and witty Kanye lines that we hear and love, but more so it seems like he's venting. Talking about the loss of him moms and stuff like that; idk... just makes it seem more real. I love it!

Anyways I'm sure it will eventually fade out of my mind, but until then I guess this shit will just remain on repeat in this place I call my mind.

... 14 more days of Los Angeles =/ .

Acoustic genius.

I'd give it a B++. I was playing around on youtube and came across an acoustic version of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" by these two guys whom I really don't know lol. I suppose they are an upcoming band of some sort, but they do alot of acoustic versions to hit songs we hear everyday. This one is great, this shit almost sounds as good as the original. Listen to this and go check out some more of theur stuff if you like.

The boxer brief

So basically you have boxers, boxer briefs, and regular briefs. Yeah, the regular briefs can just go out the window! Very uncomfortable if you ask me lol.

Ever since i came out of diapers I've been wearing boxers and they've been good...up until like a week ago when I was in the mens department of some store and decided to pick up some boxer briefs lol. Man they are so much better! For my dudes, if your reading this go try them if you've only been wearing boxers. Idk, they fit tight, but like its a comfortable feeling that can't be achived by the loose unaffectionate feeling of boxers lmao. And yeah yeah I know some dudes always say, "Well I have a big d**k so I can't wear boxer briefs because they would be too tight and uncomfortable" blah blah dude, such lies lol. The front part is made so it will be comfortbale if your big down there so yeah no complaints. Plus I've learned chicks seem to prefer them too :). Anyways, yeah I'll still toss my boxers on every once in a while, but I think I've found a new love. Seriously, boxer briefs are the shit! If I really didn't think so I wouldn't dedicate an entire blog post to them lol. Just go cop you a pack or two and discover the hidden magic.

Almost "goodbye" time for So.Cal

They say Los Angeles is a place where dreams are made or broken; well I've lived here long enough to experience both sides of the spectrum. However, my days here in LA and in southern california are now numberd. 23 days to be exact, as I depart for college august 16th up near sacramento (northen cali). Yes, being in an unfamiliar place will be a huge reality check, but perhaps being the person that I am, it's the best move for me. See, being here in LA in alot of ways makes me wanna run from it until I learn enough for me to come back. I'm kinda tired of everyone trying to be "somebody" and the only way they know how to do it is by trying to be like everyone else. It doesn't make sense, nor is it attractive to see these girls that only care about wtf they look like in the mirror. I mean who doesn't love a bomb chick, but a dude like me at this point in his mindset needs something more, and LA offers few of that.

It's so much fun here and so much shit to do, especially to get in trouble lol, but damn even that can be fun when your in LA. Man I don't really know of any shopping areas out in northern cali either and if your anyone who knows me, you know I'll die without being able to shop lol. But anyways, I'll survive and hopefully I'll meet some chill people who I can be my full self around, instead of holding it back like I tend to do here in LA. People either know my as the dude who knows how to dress, the smart dude, the funny dude, the nice guy, the asshole, the creative dude, etcs. but few people know me as a sum of all those things. Lol, here in LA, it's like I always seem to find someone (a girl especiallu) that understood me for everything I am, but sooner or later I would be disappointed and turned-off by realizing that it wasn't what I felt it to be. Shit having a bunch of girls that mean nothing to you only makes them good for one thing (we all know what that is) and that's basically what I'm dealing with right now, so if I just packed up and moved for college this very second I can't honestly say I would miss any of them...sorry =/

Excuse me for being so blunt, but hey this is MY blog! But yeah, of course while I know alot of people here at home, I'll never know everyone so I guess perhaps you could argue that maybe I'm just overlooking or yet to meet that person who understands me...but shit then we could always argue that because we'll never know everyone in the world lol. I'm just saying we can all agree that most people here in LA are the same. Guys for the most part are the usual "I just wanna fuck" guys, and I won't lie sometimes that's all I wanna do too if your a girl I don't respect lol. Then there are the ladies here who are the typical 20 hours in the mirror and say they want one type of dude but end up being with the type of dude they said they would never get back with lol; In other words, just simply confused. Yes, people like this exist everywhere, I am aware of that, but it's not as accepted and expected as it is here I'm sure. That is the problem.

Yeah, I'll miss LA in all its flaws and its glory. Sacramento here I come, but more importantly college and LIFE here I come. It's time to start living and focusing on how I'm gonna polish myself as a person and start the journey of getting this money and leaving a mark on this world somehow. I have a plan, and just because YOU don't understand it, don't knock it! Respect what I do or stay behind your gated fences and ignore it, please. This is not me being cocky, I'm way too reserved for that, but this is how I get when I think about all the opportunity out there for a person to seize. Just know that all of you, rather I like you or not have had an impact on the person that I am, and as I leave LA if we never talk again for some reason just remember me for who I am and not for everything I wasn't. What I am not is not meant for me to be, therefore I will never become it. Remember that, bleed that.

This is my home, Los Angeles, where everyone wants to be. I would never forget it even if I wanted to. Thanks for everything, I promise to return. Now shut the fuck up and let me enjoy
these last few weeks....

LMAO, man this is why I love Kanye (no rosie o donald). He doesn't give a fuck what people say when it comes to clothes, just like me. My shorts perhaps would have been a little longer lol, but far from these dudes I see walking around with oversized ones where you can't tell if their shorts or pants. Smh, but I respect everyone's style... I just wish everyone was as equally open-minded as me (and Kanye) are.

The Dark Knight Review

Best movie of 2008. The End.

Lol, seriously that is all this post calls for, but of course I'll include more. Okay, So I've been anticipating this movie all fucking year ever since I saw the first trailer. I knew I had to see it the day it came out so that people wouldn't spoil it for me and I accomplished my mission. First of all R.I.P to Heth Ledger, because I am one who has always criticized how people only give a person their deserved respect when they die, but this time I am the victim of the exact thing I despise. I didn't know this guy was that good until I seen his role as the Joker and watched him execute the roll like no other person could have. It's crazy because as he was blowing up shit and killing people, he made me laugh all at the same time. He did such an excellent job in conveying this evil humor that all of us have inside us, and I say all of us because I wasn't the only one in the theatre laughing (Marquis lol). Also, through his crazy and freaky tactics he was able to spit alot of logic lol. His whole plan was not to get money, but to simply illustrate that people once put in an odd enough situation will do things that will prove them disloyal and only looking to help "self." I think he perhaps was on to something, and yeah yeah I know it was only a movie lol, but it still is true even in the real world.

Okay so enough of Joker (Heth Ledger)'s awesomeness and how he is now my favorite villian lol, lets talk about Batman. Batman obviously was outshined by the villian Joker, but I think he still deserves to be discussed. He has always been my favorite superhero because of his ability to seem real. What I mean is that he doesn't have the corny "superpowers" like a Superman or Spiderman, but he simply has gadgets and a suit, which makes him way more vulernable to the same things as a normal person. Speaking of gadgets, ahh man you have to see the shit they pulled off in this movie lol...like out of this world fly shit. Hmmm but the sexiest thing was that Lamborghini, I drooled lmao. But yeah, it was cool how the movie really opened-up Batman's true meaning of how he is not not a superhero, but he is in essence "whatever the city needs him to be," which includes taking blame and being labeled as more evil than he is good. Now you see where the title "The Dark Knight" comes in. I love it!

Yeah, this movie was good on so many levels. I don't wanna give it away if you haven't seen it yet, but Two-Face makes an appearance. Ooooooooops! Sorry, it slipped lol. Yes, well atleast I'll leave it up to you to find out how it all unravels, but yes he does make an appearance. It was almost overwhelming to see the Joker and Two-Face doing shit at the same time simultaneously, but it just put the icing on an already perfect cake. Go check out the movie people, it's definately worth it. It's like 3 hours long, but it's interesting to where it doesn't even feel like it (your ASS might feel it though lol). Batman FOREVER!!!

Here's some of favorite quotes from the movie, most of which are from the Joker lol:

"You either die a hero, or live long enough to watch yourself become the villian."

"Why so serious?"

"If your good at something, never do it for free."

"...It's all part of the plan."

"We all know maddness is like gravity; all it takes is a little push!"

Killjoy

A Killjoy - Something or someone that sucks the fun, the life, or the coolness out of someone or something else. With people, it's usually out of their own selfish and stupid motifs or just because they think it would be fun to fuck up the FUN!

Typical Killjoys include:

x People who shoot at parties/events
x Bringing your girlfriend where there will be other chicks. Jealousy?
x Overprotective mom/pops
x Spilt punch on a fresh shirt
x False gossip
x Bad sex
x "Naw sorry bro we only have them in a size...."
x Someone wearing the same shit as you at a big shindigg
x "Wear did you buy that?"
x Thirsty people
x Scruffing your new kicks
x Getting to a store when it's about to close
x An idiot telling you you don't make sense.
x Cereal, no milk
x Shit that just makes life difficult and uninteresting

Do the world a favor and don't be a Killyjoy. It's not attractive, cool, or healthy...Bitch!
:)

That Face! That Body!

man this is the illest shit I've ever seen in my life lol. Ill in this cas meaning both fresh and nasty.

It's FRESH because the photographer's mind was obviously exalted to come up with such an innovative vision.

NASTY because this shit looks like it's gonna come alive lol. Makes my skin crawl after a while.

Anyways, What you see below appears to be a smiling face, but it is actually a cohesive attempt to form a face by what is seemingly something like 34932332342 naked bodies, both male and female. The way the darker bodies form the darkness of the eyes and the creases in the smile are so perfected it's...idk you find the word lol.

Crazy huh? Thanks Kanye!

Wait! Is it Obama? Lmao it kinda looks like him now that I look at it again. Damn, perhaps...

photography lesson.

What Peace?
