Anybody who knows me knows that I constantly shop for shoes (online of course, I can't be seen in public shopping for shoes! whoa, get your mind right). So anyway.... I came across the greatness that is now filling your screen (unless you have a PC like myself, well then it's just there). Enough with the semantics though.

These are the Nike Air Max 90s "Elmer's Glue Edition" - wow, pretty sick huh?? Now, maybe I'm late. Apparently these were released as a part of a 'Back to School' edition or something?! But who cares, I've seen them and I'm in love.

My roomie and bestest actually just bought a pair of Air Max 90s and they are dumb, stupid, crazy, wicked sick! But these ^^ I will have to add to the massive growing collection, that can no longer fit into my closet of Nike shoe boxes!

on another note::
I'm jealous of my pseudo because his room is bigger than mine and he can stack his shoes in the corner... my room looks like a shoe box factory - it's sickening!

Usually I don't venture onto MTV.com just because it is full of horse shit but today was a particularly different day, so I decided to check it out. Low and Behold... the first news article up to bat was some bullsh*t about none other than DeWayne Carter or Lil Wayne (whatever. I likve government names).

So anyway. I'm reading this article and in my mind I'm thinking... "he has lost his itty, bitty, used to function, got-damned mind!" LOST IT. COMPLETELY. When asked about quitting his terrible addiction to Syrup, this is the tirade that he went on::

"Do your history, do your research," he vented. "It ain't that easy — feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that sh--. 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 n---a. 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 n---a 'Stop.' 'F---, how can we tell this n---a to stop when every f---ing thing he do is successful? This n---a is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that sh-- was amazing.' Feel me? So what am I doing wrong?

"Let me do me. Everybody's got their thing," he continued with frustration. "Why focus on me? Don't compare me to no one. Don't compare me to no one who has passed, and why they passed. I can walk out this b---h right now and get hit by a bus. Don't judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that's about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. It's me against the world — that's how I feel."

Honestly people! It's effin cough syrup and sprite, really? How hard is it to shake a Robitussin addiction?

I wonder what his intestines look like, it can't be good in there. I genuinely hope that he is not an organ donor because that would just be down right disrespectful to the coroner! Lil Wanye needs to get his act together. He has a young daughter to take care of, we don't need any more women running around talking bout 'they daddy was never there so thats why they wild and out of control - blah, blah, blah!' SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT TOILET!

I think Lil Wayne may just have earned his way onto my 'Boycotting List' - that is until he can sober up for AT LEAST 72 hours (that's 3 days people.. 3 days).

In the words of my least favorite judge on America's Best Dance Crew, Lil Mama

Alright Ladies & Gentlemen

I'mma test this out......

I'm going to try something new and see how it works.

Every week I'm going to have "DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK" in my sidebar

It's going to be something random (or requested) but it'll just be something from me to you.

Let me know what you think.

I told you earlier that my Uncle 'Ye and Auntie Lexi have been in Paris for a while hitting up major fashion shows for Paris Fashion Week....

My Uncle is like the flyest (yeah, I made that up) dude you'll ever meet. Please hate!

Yea so. You already know that I'm a complete America's Best Dance Crew nut, so yeah I watched last night.

Live in Color went home and I'm still sticking to my thought that, THEY WERE ROBBED. How in the hell do those judges think that Fysh n Chicks was better than them! I mean their name alone should have sent them home! FYSH N CHICKS - thats gross! Be gone... They should have left a long damn time ago! Sheesh, guess they can't get rid of the all girl crew or else someone will write a letter to Viacom about some sexist shit.

Nonetheless, I will keep watching just because my life has no meaning and tuning in every Thursday gives me some sort of purpose, ya diggg????

Wow, chick has really stepped her swag game up something proper! I mean I don't know if it's all the exercise that her and Nelly have been doing between the sheets, but chick done went and lost some weight on us! This disappoints me because I love curvaceous women who don't care about eating the big piece of chicken and laying they asses down for a nap! But it looks like she has been munching on some leaves.... but whatever, I'm on the look out for her. She's been doing aaaiggght in my book but one slip up and her ass is back in the kitchen!

Where is this Ashanti?? The pork chop loving, love handle having, bad ass Ashanti.

Whatev! Nelly is a happy man, I guess.

Alrighty!

So the Bad Boy roster is almost complete, I guess. Looks like Mr. Sean is having a pretty busy first quarter! Maybe. I mean, I work at Best Buy and I effin forgot about Cheri Dennis' album dropping, I mean it's not like people were asking about it! I was shocked to see that it was an actual album and that it was in stores where people could buy it, I mean.... I always thought her album was a myth! Or an urban legend, but I DID NOT think it was "real".

And as you may know, Danity Kane and Day26 will be dropping albums next month. DK's on the GREATEST DAY EVER, March 18th (ie. my birthday) and a week later Day26's album will hit shelves. I'll probably download both, no need to waste money on either one of those albums.

The internet has been buzzing with snippits of their songs and potential singles and ish like that. I refuse to post anymore snippits or singles from this Bad Boy camp (their going on my boycotting list) mainly because, they're on TV every Monday night at 10! So if you want to hear a new song, watch the show dammit. Whatever.

Go Team Sean Jean or Poppa Diddy Pop or Sean Combs or Puff or whatever-the-fu*k he is going by today... Go Team Bad Boy (or did he change that name too)!

Just for shits and giggles::

A few things have come to my attention in the past couple of days, just some things that have utterly disturbed me. Maybe someone else can help me out, help me to understand where the world is going.

Story 1::
This guy who obviously was not born in America, comes into Best Buy and proceeds in his shopping needs 5 minutes before we close (problem number 1). So as the employees continue to clean their departments this guy decides that he wants a 42in plasma TV! No problem there right? Well, the Home Theater department didn't have any cash in their register so this gentleman was escorted to the front lanes and I proceeded to check him out. First thing, his TV was over $1000 and he proceeded to reach into his pockets for cash (problem number 2). At this moment I'm becoming very irate because I want to go home and this man is going to hand my a wad of money that I am going to have to count 3 times (Best Buy procedure) and then ask another associate to count it (problem number 3).

Wait, this is where the fun begins! As I'm counting his $999+ dollars (oh yes, $1s and $5s please believe) he then tells me that he will give a thousand dollars today and then come back to give me the rest (problem number 4)! WHAT?!!? Best Buy doesn't have lay-a-way, what was he thinking. I quickly shot back at him, "Best Buy promptly opens at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for all of your shopping needs." He looked at me as if I had seven heads when I said this, as if there was something that I could do so that he could leave with the TV without paying the entire amount. SO what does he do? He decides to pay $200 on a debit card and the rest in cash. Needless to say, he topped my night with that fukery and I was biting my tongue throughout the whole transaction! Whew, I'm lucky I still have my job.


Story 2::
Most people by now know how I feel about checks... hate'em! Can't stand a person who writes checks in my line because there is so much shit that I have to do. I have to verify the ID, write the date of birth, ID number, expiration date, phone number, etc... and a whole heap of hot, smelly dog shit! I mean in 2008 we should be burning check books and saying hello to a computer chip in out retinas where we just blink and wal-lah, presto changeo the items are paid for! But since people aren't that up on things... back to the story. This guy walks in and is trying to buy a PS3 (play station 3, for those who aren't up on Best Buy lingo) and some game or something. Anyway, I total it all up and then he breaks out the leather bound check book and begins writing (problem number 1).

I do as I'm supposed to and take all his information (minus his social, but I'm about to start doing that too just in case). I go to slide the check through for authorization and I get this error screen and the register tells me to call some 1-800 number to verify some ish. I do it. I go through all the automation, which I can't stand (problem number 2 and 3) only to find out that his check has been declined. I didn't even know you could decline a check, sheesh he must be broke as hell! Whatever - all in all, he gets pissed because it's nothing I can do about it and when my manager comes over she reiterates what I just said to him and he then leaves in a fuming rage! Well, that topped my list because I don't understand what this man wanted me to do with his bad check?!? I mean, NO I can't just give you the PS3!

I know I may be harsh on some of the customers, but this ish right here is just fuckery! I don't understand it.

bbl... gotta paper to write

Pics from the Hip Hop Saved My Life video from Lupe's blog. I'm beginning to think that I'm going to be in love with THE COOL for a while. The video is supposed to be dropping soon, I'm not sure if he is taking it to networks (cuz ya'll know Lupe don't give a damn) it may just hit the net.

And the next major video release he is doing, I think will be Paris, Tokyo - he's been performing that lately.

sorry the pics are small, thats how they were on the site

My best friend is a great person, she has inspired me in so many ways. I know these pictures may seem embarrassing but they actually show her playful personality. I love her. Even though we fight like cats & dogs but she will always be my sister.

Make sure to look out for Wicked.Sick Productions and our new album:

Back to redeem herself, with her Tenth studio album Janet Jackson is bouncing back with a vengence; Discipline.

The album is a mash up of all her greatest dance hits plus the great 'baby makin' ballads that she is also known for. It is a very up-beat project, perfectly flowing from one song to the next. A 22-track album guaranteed to take you, through a rollercoster of emotions, back down memory lane, and maybe reminisce about old lovers or past relationships.



Often imitated but never duplicated... Erykah Badu is back at it again with her Fourth studio album; New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War

With a master mix of funk, hip hop and an outer space swag Ms. Badu yet again bring the funkiness to the table. Her sultry voice on top of an out-of-this world beat makes this album a definite must have. She blends the rawness of reality with America's love for Hip Hop and breathes life into every song.

As the first part to her planned trilogy opens, Amerykhan Promise comes through the speakers sounding more like a retro skate-party theme and it paints a picture in your mind of a happy time, partying and dancing to this joint. But this track sets the mood for what is yet to come.

Once your speakers have adjusted, The Healer blares out of them and suddenly there is a groove going and your head is nodding; Erykah has that effect on some people. This song is classic and has plenty of staying time, long after this album is long and forgotten.

A few more tracks flow through, That Hump slows it down a bit, gives you time to grasp the feeling.. the melody.. the beat. She's talking about something and she wants you to listen. This track is surely a transition from the up-tempo Master Teacher and Twinkle.

An 11-track album made for the masses, built on Mars, sent to Earth for your listening pleasure. No one could've done it better than Ms. Badu and hip hop thanks her. She classic and untainted, flawless and simplistic. This is her greatness.
