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.

"& 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.

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!

"With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with
Shit, that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, niggaz sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now
And the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
Because I'm..."

There is no Gucci I can buy...

"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!
