1997

So apparently I've been sleeping on this cat from L.A. named Dom Kennedy. I had been seeing tweets on Twitter from my boy Danny about him. So one day I clicked on a link Danny posted on Twitter regarding Dom Kennedy's video "1997" and once I saw the video I was in love. He's cute, and the song is SUPER DOPE!!!!!! This video is really on the lines of less is more. Dom Kennedy has a mixtape out called "From The Westside With Love" I strongly suggest you download it. Listen to the song closely and try and remember where you were and what you had going on in 1997.

Inspiration

Lately the phrase "I won't sale you a dream but the inspiration is free" has been playing in my mind. Its funny because I have been so inspired lately, its like the littlest things and the most random people have been inspiring me. Back in 2009 I made a decision that I would start doing more, more of everything! Loving more, smiling more, living more, etc. Somewhere along those lines I got a little lost, I was caught up in some superficial self absorbing bullshit. So now I'm back and I've decided its really time to stop playing and get back to doing more. I really want to change the world in so many ways and I love the way I feel when I give and I'm not just talking about giving back but just giving. Whether its advice, time, money, clothes, etc. its a great feeling knowing I was able to help someone. So to all those who have inspired me lately THANK YOU!!!!! Keep it up and in return I will do the same. Let's inspire each other.

10 years ago

So ten years ago we were at the start of the new millennium and everyone was having these Y2K scares. 10 years ago I graduated from High school and my 10 year reunion is creeping up on me. I have extreme mixed emotions about attending my 10 year reunion. It appears that Facebook has killed my buzz on attending only because with the constant updates and photo uploads I know what everyone is up to. And the people in my life that really matter, I didn't go to High school with (ok I know that was harsh but its true). 10 years also marked the start of the BET awards and although I can't remember that show I can remember the fiasco BET put on tv for us. And I have to say that I was impressed with what was available last night. SHOUT OUT TO:

Chris Brown: That boy did that and his career has be resurrected
Young Money: Taking over
Nicki Manj- For murdering Little Kim's career right before our eyes
Trey Songz- For looking as sexy as sexy can look
Everyone with a leather jacket
King I mean Queen Latifah- for being a great host

Check out more at http://www.bet.com/.
A lot has happened over the passed 10 years and its amazing how quickly time goes by, I guess there is a lot of truth in the phrase "time fly's". So I'll leave you with this: "What as happened to you in the past 10 years"

I need a date to date

Ok so I've been single for almost 3 years and yes I have enjoyed every bit of it however I am starting to feel like something or someone is missing from my life. There are so many things that I want to do and I don't want to do everything with my family or my friends, there are just somethings that require a significant other. Last nigt I had a dinner meeting at Kalbi burger (http://kalbiburger.com/), and I could not help but think that this is such a cute place to come on a date. So if you have a significant other check out Kali burger, its a new burger spot located in Korea town. You know boo's love to take eachother to new places, so enjoy.

I LOVE LOS ANGELES

Last night was the Lakers triumph over the Boston Celtics. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA I can't help but be a fan of this team. Although last night a few people didn't know how to celebrate I am still a fan of the game nonetheless. So let's all enjoy this victory! Here is a picture of the shirt I bought after the game. It was $10.00 on the corner of Western and Manchester.






Below is my favorite highlight from last night, you can't help but love Ron Artest.

California Love


Happy Belated birthday to the late great Tupac Amaru Shakur, gone but never forgotten. It appears that its been all about California lately. The Lakers are one game away from being the Champs and hell the weather has been grate. Let's all give it up for Cali. Remember this

Just me and my bike








So I have been trying to get my hands on a bike for some months now. On Monday I went bike riding with my friend Tiv at the beach, and she is a bike connoisser. She has 2 bikes, a single speed and a fixie. She was nice enough to let me ride her fixie on Monday, and I fell in love. Her bikes are so sweet, paint jobs, dope tires, and handle bars. I was instantly inspired and thought "it would be fun to build a bike" so my quest for a bike began. Yesterday I was sent a picture of a bike from ,y friend JB and he told me that the bike was on sale for $30, immediatley I told him to get it for me. This bike is going to need a lot of work, but I look at it as an investment and a fun project. So I plan on having it up and running in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned.

The Blackberry vs. The Iphone



So there is always a debate,that has been going on for years about the Blackberry vs. the Iphone or the Iphone vs. the Blackberry. To me its like the bloods vs. the crips, and it doesn't make since to me. The type of phone you have in my opinion is based on your life style. Personally I think the Blackberry is for people who conduct a lot of business from their phones, for example; emails, and viewing documents. The Iphone users always strike me as the trendy all in one type of people. However I do have to say that the Iphone does have quite a few more apps available then the Blackberry. As you can tell I am a Blackberry user and I have been for many years, and I have to say I love LOVE my blackberry. However being honest I have to say that a part of me is interested in the new Iphone! I mean it has all these new features; skype, conference calling, 5 mega pixel camera and a video recorder in HD and its 4g! Of course I don't want to get rid of my blackberry and I don't want to cheat on my blackberry either. So is there a problem with having 2 phones, I know one person with 2 phones seems a little upsurd but 1 for business and 1 for personal is my train of thought. Blackberries latest models of the Bold, Pearl and Storm have been released and I am not sure if any new models will be coming out. However I can't help to think that this summer will be long to the Iphone....... Stay tuned.
