Rios and/or Sid - Check This Out! →
Rios, Sid, and anyone else who makes beats!
The link is to a contest being put on by Stussy that is called the Make Beats Contest. All you have to do is make a beat, obviously use your best material, and drop it into the Soundcloud box (follow the link to the page, that’s where the box and more info is).
The winner will get a release of their EP, a trip to LA to perform at Low End Theory,...

VMAs
The VMAs are total garbage now. I watched approximately 10min. last night and was really bummed. Some high points though:
- Bruno Mars performance wasn’t too bad (although I’d still like to stab him in his god damn esophagus - joking).
And from what I saw that was all I really enjoyed. Everything else was trash. Tyler, The Creator won best new artist, that’s cool. But Katy...

Back from Nowhere
Actually, I was in Phoenix for 3 days. I went to my first baseball game ever. My gf and her family took me. We saw the Diamondbacks play the Padres whom they defeated 3 to 1. It was pretty sweet. I really enjoyed the whole “big league ball park experience”, it was pretty dope.
I don’t know if I said anything about this before, but I finally have a car now. So now I can look for...

mnnqn:
Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with great pleasure and excitement that today, Robert Diaz and I (Zach Norris), announce the debut of the first line of t-shirts from our independent clothing company IV The Taking (read/pronounced “Four The Taking”, for those of you not hip to Roman numerals).

Garage Brand
Today, I worked in a garage with Robert Diaz, his father, Logan Norris, my gf Katie, and others for approximately 10hrs. pressing up t-shirts. 3 designs on 48 shirts to be exact.
IV The Taking shirts will be available to the public soon. I’ll post pics as soon as I can come up with them and I’ll keep you posted. Also keep an eye out for a IV The Taking tumblr.
We have a twitter as...

Speaking Of... (tattoos)
- My samurai Darth Vader piece is almost done. I’m trying to get updated pics.
- Upon completion of my Vader leg piece, I’m going to get my toes tatted. The four smaller toes on my right foot will read, “P-R-O-G”, and the four smaller toes of my left foot will read, “R-E-S-S”. In between the “PROGRESS” on my two big toes will be symbols. The right...

Otnemem/Memento
The movie Memento is awesome.
I’m going to get one of Leonard’s tattoos, but I don’t know which yet. I’m leaning more towards the one on his right bicep that says, “consider the source(there’s a solid line underneath those words) memory is treachery (is underneath the solid line) ”. But like I said, I’m not 100% on that yet.
Peace,
Zach

The books: - Betrayal - Bloodlines - Tempest - Exile - Sacrifice - Inferno - Fury - Revelation - Invincible
The three authors who wrote the series were Aaron Allston, Karen...

Lyrics I Did (Not) Write
“Whenever something goes right, something goes wrong. And it’s been this way too long!”
Co-sign. I feel this at least once a day, and some days even more. This song captures that feeling perfectly. But I feel like a super-noob because I can’t remember the name of the song. I could look it up on my iPod, but I don’t want to.
Have a good day.

No Heroes (revisited)
This is going to get personal, and not the emotional personal that everyone fakes on facebook for attention, but maybe the awkward personal that most people don’t want to talk about.
Bear with me.
I’ve been going through some trying times lately. I write about it on here sometimes, other times I don’t. But an issue that’s really been bothering me is my attachment to...

Darn It (300th)
I keep missing my centennial posts. I was going to try to come up with a cool, short essay, or post some art with a poem, etc. But I just reblogged Hundredth (hundredth.tumblr.com), using my 300th post, and not even thinking about it. Ironic though, using one of my hundredth posts on the band Hundredth (I’m a nerd for comical, dorky, irony).
But I guess I’ll just say thanks again for...

Bottled Water & A Torn Page
Elements wrapped in plastic, and weathered text/ Heaven sent rappin’ drastic and better sets/ Place your bets/ History in the making, for the taking, takin’ tests/ This is not 101 or 102/ This is one and done, not for fun but for tried and true/ Me and you/ Under the sun, making a run for the blue/ Skies above the horizon, gallop off into the sunset/ 20,000 leagues into your heart and...

Warped 2011
Tuesday, August 9th, I went to Warped Tour in San Diego. It was my third time taking part in the Warped festivities and probably the most fun yet. My first Warped was ‘07 and it was cool but I wasn’t there to see anyone. I just went to go and check it out. The best part about it was that was where I discovered P.O.S. an became a fan of him and Doomtree. My second Warped was...

Finally
I got to see her face. It was refreshing, and it reminded me of the beauty that is so far away, yet so close.
I love her.
I will sleep well tonight.

I Am... Random (Random)
I am a human. Like everyone else. I am a male. NOT like everyone else. I am 22yrs. young. “Still young but no longer impressionable.” I am 6’ 3” tall. “Taller than most, but never tower over.” I am attracted to girls. One in particular. I believe in God. But you don’t have to. I believe in people. Who believe in themselves. I believe in myself. As much as...
