It's Spring Again.....

Just some cool casual Spring clothes....

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...

Prayers go up and Blessings come down...

I've been wishing and hoping for certain things... lol, only to find out that wishes and hopes only work when you're a kid. I began praying, those prayers were so vague that only certain ones were being answered. Sometimes it is up to us to figure out exactly what we want and ask for it.

This morning, I realized that I am very blessed. I am going in the right direction with my life. The circle, constantly expanding and contracting but the same key people always seem to remain within it. Money... that's something that come and go. At this point in my life it's bigger than having a pocket full of money. I'm basically writing this hoping that someone reads this and is inspired by me saying that prayer does work. Be specific when talking to God. By no means am I super religious, but I do believe!!!

Have A Blessed Day

Something New To Add To Your Collection

For some reason, lately I like anything brown, black or green.... these are dope though!!! Inspired by the beer Guiness, these are the Nike SB Dunk Low Black and Tan

Looks like any other Rolex right??? Wrong, this time around the Swiss company eliminated the day/date... the face glows blue in the dark and the bezel is actually ceramic on the new Submariners.

Christian Lou.... I haven't been a fan of the whole studded thing that they have been doing thus far, however these have that clean and classic look!!!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...

If you're my people, let's eat together...

I provide a few different services and have been experiencing some misunderstandings when it comes to financial agreements. I never could grasp the concept of a "friend" not wanting to pay for services. I remember this old head always saying to me some years back "They want to Jew me down but will pay Mr Whipperwill full price." Basically his black friends always want a deal but will pay the white man his price in full. I totally understand what he was saying back then.

If we're supposed to be close then you should want to see me get money. There are certain people constantly asking but never giving and then don't seem to understand why the answer is NO. I have learned my worth some time ago. I'm not an exit you can easily get off on, the price will definitely double or even triple depending on my mood. (Gemini Moods)
Shouts to the few people that call and in the first two sentences they say "You wanna make some bread?" Don't usually drop names, but it's much deserved.... Big Mel, Love Is Love.... Rsonist, Salute.... Todd, Much Appreciated!!!!

Funny Thought: Lately, "I was on the bike, couldn't answer" has become the quote of the year used by myself and my partner.... Sorry, step the money up!!!!!

Have A Blessed Day

#StopKony

Joseph Kony is a Ugandan guerilla group leader, head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a group engaged in a violent campaign to establish theoratic government based on the Ten Commandments throughout Uganda. The LRA say that God has sent spirits to communicate this mission directly to Kony.
Directed by Kony, the LRA has earned a reputation for its actions against the people of several countries, including northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Sudan. It has abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them, and has also forced the internal displacement of over 2,000,000 people since its rebellion began in 1986. As a result, in 2005 Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court at The Hague(Netherlands), but has succeeded in evading capture since.

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

Guru Discusses Jay z Next Project...

Complex released a nice interview with the DJ/Engineer/Producer Guru about Jay’s creative whereabouts and some other interesting things you might need to know. Below you can find his response in regards to Jay’s next solo LP.

“Jay-Z is always working on stuff, it’s a concept that I can’t talk about but I’m marveled at how smart this guy is. When he told me the concept, I was like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ It was just so simple. It’s not a concept album though. It’s not like American Gangster, it’s not a Beatles concept album. It has a concept and a title, and the title and the concept fit him so well that people are going to be like ‘Wow.’ I like certain writers because it takes me 8,000 paragraphs to get my full point across. When somebody can take what I just said and condense it into two sentences and still have the same effectiveness, that’s a good writer. The simplicity of the title and the concept that it conveys is incredible. I can’t tell you the title, it’s so good it’s like, ‘Oh my god why didn’t I think of that? What made you think of that and why haven’t we done that before?’ It’s just staring us in the face all these years, we could’ve been put that out as an album concept.”
