madly addicted to C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries... a pisces... in love with the thought of being in love... music is my doorway to Pan's Labyrinth... I have no time to do anything, yet I spend my time doing nothing... over analyzed... wayy too opinionated... massive junk food consumer... collector of sharpies... I probably smell like Hollister or Victoria's Secret... a determined slacker... my obsession with Nike Dunks is disgusting... shorter than you... I try to not ever read a book... an aspiring writer with an eye of a photographer... super cool... lover of all things made by Steve Jobs... your mom likes me... material things don't bring me happiness... spirituality is my ticket to salvation... not motivated by the next man... personally cursed by Eve... I once read some where that, contentment is key... I'm content

DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK
**disclaimer - links may have been deleted throughout the weeks which is not my fault. So get them while they're hot.**
I love this joint, proally more than I should. I LOVE IT!
This joint reminds me of the the Carter (album) back when I first fell in love with Wayne. The sample on this joint is siiiccckkkkkk (can somebody find it for me). I might have to sit back, kick up my feet, and have this joint on repeat!
Jordan Spizikes re-released in a package along with a messenger bag online at Jumpman23.com for those in the US. If you didn't know, these have already been released in Europe and Asia (those lucky bastards) but it's your turn now, my fellow Americans.
"I'll fuck you up quick. Two times!"
If you can't find the connection between the shoe and the movie, you should hand a gun to whoever is near you right now and let them kill you! I don't think you're smart enough to kill yaself if you can't figure that one out.
----- On another note: I love putting people on to this movie, I remember when I watched it with Cousin Chris and he kept asking me questions throughout the WHOLE DAMN movie; he would not shut up. I think it took him a while to fully grasp the whole movie, but I think he enjoyed it. Maybe I'll buy it for him... whadda think????
Is his album promotion over yet? I'm sick and damn tired of Usher. The album isn't that great and I am BEYOND tired of hearing about that sham that he calls a "marriage" and the rest of us just shake our heads at.
I've had enough Usher. Go back under the rock of "husband and father" that you crawled out of!
1. In the word's of Ice Cube, "today was a good day".
2. I'm not even mad at Solange... I mean, she gotta get in where she fit in. With all the Rhianna's and Michelle's taking over the world, chick gotta get her ringtone money up too. Why can't she have a hustle too? I'm sure she don't want to be shining shoes and brushing wigs for the rest of her life.
3. Because today was a good day, I'm not going to use the nouns, verbs, and adjectives I was going to use to describe this album (above). I shall just say this, for $10.69 at Best Buy you can buy a very nice coaster.
4. I need some help dealing with creepy guys. Here's the rundown: this "blind date" guy that my friend hooked me up with, he keeps messaging me at all the wrong times (which is anytime in my book). Now, I've never met this guy before but he feels the need to want to talk to me at every waking moment. I know I'm not that interesting nor is my conversation that important or intriguing... However, how do I get rid of him!?! Help me. I just want my old life back when I didn't have to deal with creepy old men who wanted to take me to Dave & Busters. (sigh)
5. This is one of those pictures that comes with the Sunday paper and the title reads "What Is Wrong With This Picture: Find 6 Things".
6.
I love me some Chris Crocker but dude has lost it completely about these damn t-shirts. I may still have to cop me one or two to show my support, but I'm down for the cause. Me and Solange gonna start a revolution... and it WILL be televised.
7.
This has become my new favorite love song. I swear, so many people have slept on Cherish... but they are a pretty solid girl group, in my book, and I would blast their album The Truth over Survivor (cough.DESTINYSCHILD.cough) any day! Let me drop some lyrics passed you:
I don’t have to take my hair out of my ponytail Don’t have to change my style up or come out the clothes I wear Because of you I’m able to get through the stormy weather You know the words to say just to make my day go better
I know when I come home I’m your superstar Even if no records were so I’m your superstar No matter the time I know always through your eyes I’ll remain a superstar
Can I just say that Common is one sexy a** piece of man! Whew, ladies and gents.... you just don't know what I would do with if I had two minutes in an airplane bathroom with him!
I'm just so tired of so many things and so many people, I need somewhere to vent - here it goes:
A. Internet thugs make me laugh. As Tanisha says, it's like the Special Olympics... even if you win, you're still a retard! I mean, ole' girl knows where I stay and I have no problem banging her in public, BUT (the big but) I refuse to go back and forth with her via the internet. LAME
B. I want to apologize to a certain someone for my recent spats of childish internet vomit; I spoke out of anger. It's like losing your best friend and then drawing attention to yourself in hopes of that person still wanting to be your best friend, guess he found someone else to play "tag" with. So, I'm stuck on the monkey bars all alone, my playground crush is officially dead, buried, and has gone to heaven.
C. How is it that someone tells you that they wont have their phone all weekend while they're in Atlanta, but then gets mad when they realized that you haven't called them?? Is that logical.
D. I sold two books already but for some reason, Amazon and Half.com only distribute your money ever 14-21 days. Ain't that some bullshit? It's like waiting on a paycheck, dammit!
E. PECO fucked up our bills so now this month, we're paying for two months even tho we paid them last month but they say that was just an "estimate" - what type of shit is this (in my Bernie Mac voice)??
F. I cleaned out my closet and came to a harsh but real conclusion: Hi. My name is Whitney and I'm addicted to Nike's. I found shoes that have never even touched the ground but for some reason, I couldn't part with them.
G. My roommates are like completely in love with my fried chicken, I think something is wrong with them. It's like a crack addiction, really. To me, it's just fried chicken... to them, it's like the Holy Grail. Sheesh. Maybe I'll make you some, oneday.
H. I actually didn't know what letter came after G, I had to sing the song. Payce!
Ya'll know I'm a sucker for love songs, I can't help it - I'm a R&B head at heart. And J. Holiday has really grown on me because I swear I played the hell out of "Bed" and I can't even stand to look at his album in my iTune anymore. But dude is pretty great when it comes to ballads and I'm stoked about his next album (if there is even one planned, haven't heard much about it).
-------- Found a better version of Wale's "The Crazy"... DOWNLOAD or LISTEN HERE
to those at home (in MD) enjoying this beautiful day with everyone they love just know that I'm loving and missing you too.
i have the day off and i still don't plan on doing much. my bestie and matty have to work so i'm the only loser enjoying Memorial Day.
secondly, to anyone from the beautiful DMV area - you should head over to Haines Point and relax on the mini-golf course, then grab some fresh steamed crabs from the Warf on the waterfront (or hit up Phillips), and then chillax.
[thinks to self] damn i want some crabs

on another note:: some people give up meat; some soda and chocolate, me... i'm giving up H.I.M.
The 26-year-old Amsterdam artist has never been more focused as she prepares to explore the U.S. market.
Artist Cinnamon Brown is destined for a fulfilled life in music. Born Cindy Limon, May 21, 1981, in Amsterdam, the R & B, Hip Hop and Pop singer/songwriter is the daughter of parents who hail from the Caribbean nation of Suriname. Her talent, ambition, and focus are inwardly driven, though she credits her father’s love of R & B and her parents’ support for her career as fundamental to her success today.
Cinnamon has come a long way since the days of her childhood, absorbing all the funk and soul her father played for her especially on Sunday afternoons. Now, all roads point to the U.S. for Cinnamon as she is poised to break out beyond her European appeal to make inroads into the U.S. market. Like many R & B or Hip Hop artists, life’s challenges, and enduring them with grace and determination, are at the core of Cinnamon’s music. She grew up a talented, but rebellious child, once even landing in reform school for her unorthodox ways, and has had her share of heartbreak and struggle.
Stay tuned for more musical offerings and news as Cinnamon focuses on making the leap from Europe to the U.S.A.
NIKE DUNK HIGH Nike x FC St. Pauli black/black-medium grey
If this aint the sickest shoe you've seen thus far, you should go a head and kill yaself at point blank range. This dunk has to be out of this world!
Still has the Ostrich leather on the swoosh but this time the colors on the laces are a little more in tune with the sneaker. These are set to release May 30 via Overkill. Come one, come early fans.... there are only 500 pairs of these and they are limited to European countries, so get them passports ready!
NIKE DUNK LOW Nike x FC St. Pauli
These are over at Overkill but I'm telling you, you gotta see a close up of these. This profile view of them does it no justice... you gotta see the whole kick, laces and all.
You already know I'm feeling the gum bottom. I love white on white with gum bottoms I think it just looks so summertime-ish. There is also some Ostrich leather on the Swoosh and the laces are multi-colored (but they're not fat... hate fat laces).
NIKE DUNK LOW Lepoard natural/carrot-natural-gum/light brown
Ya'll know I loves me some Nike Dunks... And for some reason looking at these remind me of the Ferris Buller (I may have spelled that wrong) kicks - I think KTH posted them a while back because I remember Cousin Chris asking for the movie and then I bought it for him and he wanted to give it back to me... SICK, I know. But back on point. I don't like the laces (you should already know how I feel about fat laces) but outside of that, they're pretty FIERCE! I would build an outfit around them, but right now... can't pick out anything that I would wear with these. I do have a pretty dope Run-DMC tee and I'm still looking for a fat gold rope chain (any takers).
NIKE BLAZER LOW wmns corduroy - carnation
Summer on a yacht in these would just make my summer taste so much sweeter than the lemons that I'm sucking on right now. Too bad there is no yacht and I'm spending summer in Philly, where there is no one worth spending time with anyway. But I guess vacation on some exotic island would be dope if I could walk through the sand in these (I don't like sand in between my toes... so yes, I wear sneaks in the sand). Either way, I'm copping these and they'll go with some sort of summer ensemble that I concoct. Sue me!
What would have Puff done without BIG? I don't even feel bad knowing that Bad Boy Records has run every one of their artists careers into the ground... shit, folks should know by now.
Don't fake! Who didn't love Mase? He had that baby face and that cute little smile. Now he is some where selling the Lord for $19.99 at 4 o'clock in the morning on public access television[1].
I still blast Faith on any good day and it angers me to this day that Bad Boy killed her career. Don't get me wrong, her comeback album was great but I think she got into being a mother and a new wife... and I can't be mad at the sister for that. I loves Faith tho....
Didn't all Bad Boy videos look just the same?? It's funny. I liked 112 more when they were with Bad Boy... when they left, some shit took a left and talent went out the window. AND I know it's not just me but - doesn't this song take you back to summers in the 90s, at the park; with the air thick with the smells from the grill, shiny cars fresh from the car wash, water guns, short skirts and K-Swiss kicks?? Sheesh, I loved those memories from the 90s - DOPE
Oh and if this song doesn't take you back to happier times in the 90s, kill yaself.
There is some talking from Mark Ronson but you get the drift. I think it's pretty dope and I'm so excited for his album. I have to big UP the DMV because that's where I was born and raised, so I love nothing else. And for those who don't like it, you all can go jump off a curb into on-coming traffic!
These are specifically for Cousin Chris: I'm sure you would choose these over any woman (except of course Stacey Dash or Lauren London).
Anyhow. I've only ever seen one pair of Stabs in person and the pair that I saw were pretty decent... they weren't the above pair, but I mean hey. Not everyone can be as fly as ________ (fill in the blank). But these are pretty dope and I'm sure that my fellow sneakerheads would agree. And because I don't normally post on Fridays, your welcome!
1. If Michelle is over at the Indiana Jones/106 & Park premiere, than who is turning Beyonce's ever-so needed wig-blowing fan on? We all know she can't live without that damn fan but then again she has Jay Z... I'm sure he has plenty of experience in brushing her wigs and turning her fan to the right setting. He probably does it better then Kelly and Michelle.
On another note: Have you seen this Kodak EasyPic, Final Cut Pro mess of a video that has this wig brusher's name all over it?? My roommate can make a better video than that with my Nikon Coolpix, an IMB Thinkpad, and Adobe Photoshop! Pluzzeee. Guess she figured it was time to cash in on that ringtone money while she still had it in her.... Depressing.
2. Who's child got loose in the makeup room and wanted to give Aunti 'Shanti a "make over"? Someone needs to remove every single Crayola crayon that Ashanti keeps in her purse and burn them! How dare she leave the house like this, all irrelevant and whatnot.
3. What is this, Diddly's Delinquent School for Girls ?? And I'll be damned if that aint Tiffany Evans all photo-oping (made that up) with these bum-ass chicks from Danity Kane... All but D. Woods, ya'll know that's my gurl. Who the hell left the gate open and the chain unlocked because clearly someone let Aubrey come out and play. Teyana is my chick, hands down, but I'm going to need her to let go of the white girl!
4. Dont' be shocked and amazed by that photo, it's just your loyal 'round tha way chick - Tasia! Yep; she'll babysit yo kids, fight yo lil sister, run to the cor'no (corner) sto', drink a forty, briad yo hair, and fry you some chicken... without thinking twice. Jesus be some paint thinner!
Oh and prey-tell me why she has been talking to Ashanti's stylist?? That shit should be illegal.
5. I want to know who thinks that she (see above) is sexy? No, wait. Wait.
Now... Do you think this chick is sexy? NO! I don't. Something about the proportions of her head to the rest of her body just don't mesh well with me. She looks like a human bobble-head and I'm like a "Head Expert" cuz I know some people who have surpassed bobble-head status (Cousin Chris). Chick just needs to deflate that thing and call it quits.
6. Damn, is Amerie still relevant in the music world? Looks like girl done fell the hell off. Is she eating good?? She looks tired as hell, like she about to fall over. QUICK, somebody take her a two-piece and a biscuit, STAT! Oh and pick her up some "talent" while your out too.
7. Now anybody who knows me knows that I can't stand Meagan Good, like at all. She plays the same 'round the way chick in every movie. Hell, I don't know if she is a good actress cuz she always chooses the same damn roles (kinda like G. Union... shhh don't tell her that, she bitches all the time). Anyway back on point.
Even though I don't like this chick, her style choice are usually pretty aiight but this fuckery (see above) has just topped my shit list. I think it's the pumps that do it for me... if she would've just committed to hoochie look and threw some dookie braids and some Reeboks with the strap in the mix, I think I would have been cool with it. Oh, lest me not get started on that 1996 ankle bracelet and her 24in yaki.
8. Oh yeah. Are you ready?
9. Has anyone else been watching Real World Hollywood lately? Well as usual, I stumbled upon an episode yesterday and it happened to be a "new" one... so I indulged myself. Let me just say this; this show has helped me to further my hate of the human race, period. I am an Equal Opportunity Racist, no one race is left unhated (made that word up too).
If you haven't been watching this show, you should start it is a good way to get out pent-up frustrations by yelling at the screen. This dude Greg has lost his nutt-bucket ass mind. Bri (or whatever her dry-braids-having-ass name is) she has to be my favorite just because she is some "gutta ass chick" from Bucks County Pennsylvania (so not gangster). The kid with the dreds is the only dude worth smashing in the house. Both white chicks whine to NO END and make me want to rip my eyes out. One white dude is crazy as hell.. and not just normal white people crazy, he's like; I'll-kill-my-whole-family crazy. The other white dude runs around naked and smashes one of the white chicks on a regular!
Please tune in.
10.
I love scary movies and I think this one is going to be hella-funny! Liv Tyler askes them, "why are you doing this to us" and the crazed masked people say, "because you were home." DOPE-est line from a movie thus far. And even if this movies sucks more than 3000 B.C., that line will still be great.
11. Is it just me or are those new Zune ads really making iPod owners want Zunes?? I just saw one come across my TV screen and I was captivated... that new deal that zune has, $14.99 a month for unlimited downloads - that may just be the shit right there! But don't fret iPod owners and lovers because you know the greedy owner of the universe, Steve Jobs will not and cannot let Microsoft surpass him. iTunes users, be prepared. World, be prepared (saying that in Dr. Evil voice and laughing hysterically).
12.
Because I'm a faithful Run's House watcher, I felt it was my duty to bring to you Team Blackout's newest video. For those of you who don't know... Jo Jo Simmons is a member of Team Blackout along with some of the other special-ed kids. I'm not going to say anything mean about this video because to be honest, I couldn't get through the first :02 seconds of it BUT (the big but and it ain't mine) I will say this: Justine needs to get a handle on this ish real quick, I will not stand by and let this garbage ruin our generation. I blame Soulja Boy, I think he should be held accountable and there should be some sort of public punishment that he should endure.
13. My tattoo itches like a sum-beach. Over and out.
Figured if it was dope enough to post than it was dope enough for me to steal and after listening to it... Lupe's verse is pretty much crack. So, sorry for stealing it but you'll get over it because this is what we do and you know the deal.
