The Company I Keep (pt. 1)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my late friend CJ Walk, and missing him has made me think a lot about the people I currently surround myself with. I have great friends, and a wonderful gf. To honor what they mean to me I’m going to do posts about my homies and why they are so significant to me.
First up: Stephen Allen Currier (& Family)
I met Stephen my sophomore...

Madness
Composite leather pounds the hardwood. Lights scar the surface of the court. The atmosphere is filled screams and cheers, it’s so loud they can’t even be heard. Minds are racing, and hearts are pumping. These battles only last forty minutes, but they leave memories that last forever. The Madness never ends.
Let’s go UNC! We’ve got a hard game today against Kentucky,...

Sucker Punch (spoiler alert - kind of)
I saw the preview and thought, “Wow. Almost naked girls with guns fighting dragons, samurai, etc. This is going to be awesome.” Well I couldn’t have been more right!
Aside from the movie having every and anything any nerd could ever want in film, it was fairly well written. The plot was simple, but not dumb. The simplicity didn’t make it easy to follow, it had a...

“Where the Money Go” (Rodney Brown)
This song is a raw autobiographical look at Rodney’s childhood growing up in a divided household dealing with his father’s gambling addiction while his mother does everything in her power to provide for her children.
If this touches you. Reblog.
This guy is talented. I wish him the best.

Even Though
I don’t spend as much time with her as I would like, I could not live without my gf.
True story.
I hope to one day make all her dreams come true.
True story.

Today was my homie Robert’s 22nd birthday. I’m older than him. He got a Pokemon White/Black strategy guide, and a Kindle (and donuts). He’s one of (if not) my best friend and my life is truly bettered by having him in it. I love him. Wish him a happy birthday if you can.

XXX
When I was going through high school I went through my party days. I drank beer, hard liquor, and the like. I was also into marijuana. I did a lot more smoking than I did drinking. I hated the way alcohol tasted and I’m not a fan of drunk people so I didn’t want to become what I disliked most. Weed was more fun because I got spacey, light-headed, and smiled a lot.
After high...

R.I.P Nate Dogg
Now as you all know I’m not too into rap anymore, but last night a legend was lost. The king of the West Coast chorus, Nate Dogg, passed away last night. Most of the stuff I came up with this guy was singing the chorus too. Especially in the late 90s early 2000s when he was son everything. He did hooks for Dre, Xzibit, Eminem, Ludacris, The Game, Snoop, and many many more. Who could...

Good News - Positive Change
I’m living with my friend Stephen. I had to put the negativity at dad’s house behind me. I miss my brother though.
I finally got the promotion at work. I’m going to get more hours and better pay, so I couldn’t be more stoked. I truly appreciate my co-worker’s help, generosity, and friendship.
Positive steps toward positive progress.
Good news.

Thoughts & Prayers
To all the people in Japan who have suffered in any way due to the quakes. I know there’s tragedies year round all over the world, but natural disasters can’t be stopped.

American Alliteration (and assonance)
This country is composed of composite compost, blue collar criminals and con-artists, contracting condolences from poets, scholars, and artists who pity the dark and heartless.
Cynical civilians sinning in the systems symptoms, where villains are victorious over the sickly victims. Without shame we aim and maim, then frame others to hang the blame, the game and gangs maintain the same names...

WatchLupe Fiasco interviewed by Tavis Smiley
Here’s a pretty lengthy Q & A with Lupe about his newest CD release Lasers. Tavis and Lupe touch on the conflict and delays of the release, and Lupe’s view on current affairs. It’s a great interview and we get a more honest Lupe than I expected. He even admits that he compromised a bit too much with his creativity on the album.

My 100th Post - Thank You All
So I made a Tumblr cause my friend Robert said it was pretty cool and my brother had one so I gave it a shot. 100 posts later and I love it (obviously). I love being a creative and love even more that Tumblr gives me an outlet no matter the medium.
So all in all I want to say thanks to all my followers (past and present). If you currently follow me, thank you very much. I truly...

Full Review for Lupe Fiasco's Lasers
Album Review
Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
“You’re now tuned into the weakest…”
Lupe said it himself, and after listening to his latest release Lasers I believe it. After waiting through 3 years of title/project changes, label drama with Atlantic, and a petition to get the album released I’m sadly disappointed with the outcome. On his last release Lupe Fiasco’s...

I waited 3 years for this?
Lupe Fiasco’s latest album Lasers is finally out after 3 years of waiting, label drama, a petition started by fans, and more waiting. I’ve been anticipating this release since I heard about it (I can’t even remember how long ago that was), and since the announced release date I’ve been more apprehensive.
Well so far I feel like my excitement has been wasted. The...

Time Is Running Out
Two more days until my father comes home. Four more days until his wife comes back. So two more days until an argument, and four more until I’m either moving to San Diego or homeless.
Let’s do this.

Music
I love music. When I saw the Beastie Boy’s video for Intergalactic it was love at first sight. I’ve been a fan of hip hop ever since. A Day to Remember (as weird as it sounds) introduced me to hardcore and pop/punk. These genres, hip hop and hardcore, are my two main musical interests but I can get into anything if it’s creative, sounds good, and has integrity. This is what...

Good Day - 03/04/2011
So yesterday I had a really good day. I woke up and had some raisin bran crunch and then got to work on time. Good start. I had a short shift at work from 10am to 2pm, and it was a chill day. After work I had a tattoo appointment with my good friend James Dean. This would be my third tattoo from him (He did my praying Yoda hands, and my Dragonballs). You can check his tumblr out here...

Life Is Interesting
So the past week and a half have turned some pretty interesting pages in my book. The family issues that have been plaguing my life story as of late are now bearing ugly consequences. My dad is away for work, but apparently when he returns he is coming home with his wife.. (Back story: She had left after another domestic dispute and had been living with her mom)
I told my dad after she...
