born to ill

usually I say I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of kicks that didn't have a Nike swoosh, but I must say, these Clae Russell wools are kinda fly, if I do say so myself (and I do say so). that is why they are the sneakers of the day


peep game, you squares. another slew of my personal clothing choices courtesy of karmaloop.com

if I ever teach you lames anything, let it be this: a real man wears a watch. more specifically a FLUD watch. even more specifically, a purple FLUD watch


dig it like a shovel. the "Shogun" tee by Lifetime Collective


what's sicker than a flannel shirt with a hood? a flannel shirt w/ a hood and a wicked ill name!! the "Marunouchi" buttondown by Lifetime Collective


the "Three Amigo" fitted by Rebel 8


which goes great with the "Rosalie" tee also by Rebel 8


kinda wish I was from Cali so I had some motivation to wear this fitted: the "CRV2" by Dissizit!


the "Star" fleece in true black (as opposed to false black) by Burton


the "Boundary" fleece in curacao (is that a color or a country?) by Burton


the "Player Flannel" in lifeline lolita (wtf is that?) by Burton


*sigh* I guess that's it for today. one day these people will see my worth and pay me for this kind of marketing and shameless promotion. until then...

keep it funky!

con artistic

I LOVE the commercials for Ketel One vodka because there is something very sexy about a man with 5 o'clock shadow and a black suit. I like my men manly. not wearing tight, bright jeans or douchebaggy rhinestone shirts or long white tees that reach the knees. and above all, real men drink responsibly!



I don't really consider myself an artist, even though I draw. I have an artistic personality, though. anyways, I came across this today:


it's called Piss Christ and it is a photograph of a plastic crucifix submerged in the artists' own urine. is this supposed to be art? this doesn't take any skill, technique, or intelligence, for that matter. pathetic. any fool can do this! upon first impression, you might think this photo is nice. but when you learn what it really is, you can't help but be disgusted, whether or not you believe in Jesus. apparently he has a whole show devoted to feces. guess what its called? (if you guessed "Shit" then you win the solid gold kewpie doll)

this is only mildly less offensive than Guillermo Vargas' Eres Lo Que Lees, where he starves a dog to make some asinine political point


truly, I am most angered at the people who watched this dog get tortured. he was kept on a leash and starved, supposedly until he died. what kind of human doesn't stop this from happening? what is keeping you from freeing this dog? I can say with a high degree of certainty that I would never allow this to happen in front of me. I'd go to jail for this! I'd accept any punishment to keep this from happening. I guess "art" is subjective

no one is down for a cause anymore. its all about feminism and anti-war and crap, but if someone put a gun to your head, you wouldn't hesitate to forgo your beliefs, because you can still live your life the way you want, regardless. people died to end slavery, people laid down their lives for freedom. today, people only care about themselves. you're down for some bullshit cause now but at the end of the day, you're just another tool riding the wave. take it how you want.

on to milder, less offensive things. this should make you happy (or sad? both...?) a little girl's Christmas wish comes true :)

I like the concept, but some of his stuff costs a grip. not worth it, in my mind. when I open up my clothing store I'll have the guap to put down on his merch. maybe even make my own overpriced hipster paraphernalia :)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days comes out this Tuesday!!! for now I'll amuse myself by watching the trailer :)



keep it G'd up, stay keyed up

so(ul) amazing

wtf...I was rolling with my friend and we got stopped twice in 10 minutes by the same rent-a-cop...I swear these 'skegee losers have nothing better to do than stake out a stop sign and ticket people who don't come to a dead stop. I promise you it'll be alright. *smh*

I just realized that my campus is pretty well behaved compared to some other party schools that I was considering (insert UMass Amherst). we don't cause too much destruction, no one has died of alcohol poisoning as far as I know, and the chaos is pretty contained. no Thursty Thursdays over here :P

fml of the day via fmylife.com

Today, I got flowers at work. I was excited until I saw they were from my good friend saying, "Sorry for sleeping with your boyfriend!" FML

L...O...L...!

man, I'm hungry and all I have to eat is stale cookie crisp and hot pockets. welcome to college :/

keep it real.

I got colors

I'm a fan of 13 year old style rookie http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/ she's an intelligent little thing. very mature with peculiar taste. sometimes I fancy myself a fashionista, but in reality I just like to keep it funky. I don't wear nice things, unless you count my sneakers. I like to be comfy, since really clothes are just something to keep you from baring your giblets in public. hoodies and skinnies, that's all I need! and sneakers of course :) really, who actually wears the dorky things they show on the runways?

sneakers of the day: "Chili/Sport Red" Air Max 95

okay, moving right along. jerkin' is the only dance that I can actually perform. I dig this video of some young jerkin' pioneers: the power ranger$



they get down. I dig that dudes from California got swagg and aren't afraid to be out there, even if its the dumbest shit ever. sometimes they got something going on. enter Blu -->

I love Blu! he's an indie rap artist from Cali who isn't afraid of telling it like it is: he's too broke to pay his bills, smokes weed, doesn't have a car, and is the illest rapper alive, despite being a scrub. I've only heard a few other artists spittin' real shit like him (none of them were born in the last 30 years). I ride for this dude. and that's why "So(ul) Amazing" from his album Below the Heavens is the song of the day



I'd hate to be this gummy bear LMFAO



best text via textsfromlastnight.com:

(224): I just got three quarters of the way there before I realized I was way too stoned for class so I bought a smoothie and walked home.

my life can be summed up by this one line from "Clint Eastwood" by the Gorillaz:

I'm happy, I'm feeling glad/ I got sunshine...in a bag/ I'm useless, but not for long/ the future...is coming on

keep it real.

honestly, honesty was never in my policy

great house party last night. grub, games, and grooves, how can you go wrong? life is good :)

sooooo...I was watching True Life: I'm Addicted to Porn, and I could not stop laughing. I can't really be sympathetic to someone who's addicted to watching other people have sex on the camera, nor can I have respect for them. spending your days watching porn instead of getting a job?! ridiculous.

sweet plaid tees from NOWHERE. sick. via hypebeast.com



check out the cool shit via karmaloop.com. sweet dress from WE(are.the)S(uperlative)C(onspiricy)


not sure why I like this FreshJive hoodie so much...maybe because its a HOODIE. hoodies FTW!

that shirt would go good with the sneakers of the day: Chuck Taylor specialty hi-top in black & red woolrich


I freak'n LOVE Paramore! I flipped when I found out they're coming out with a new album. Haley Williams is like...the last of a dying breed: singers that can ACTUALLY sing. NO AUTOTUNE. check out this acoustic of "Pressure" = single of the day



the only thing I'm anticipating more than Paramore's new album is the release of another Gorillaz or Amy Winehouse album

ok, I think I've plugged enough stuff for today. see you tomorrow (maybe). til then, peace 'n' love
