Fakery.

aight soooo this past weekend, it was confirmed that Nicki Minaj is a damn lesbian. not only is she fake, but shes a lesbian. i was like, i'd accept it if she was bisexual like she had stated.. cool.. but ummm, you get caught with Amber Rose & a few other select names (some that aren't even in the celeb rank), all loved up.. what the hell?

when it was shown that everything was ultra fake about her, i wasn't surprised. i had been saying that she was fraud as hell when she FIRST came out. every female wants to be the "baddest chick".. btch, be yourself - stop all the fakery.

she was just sex hype yo. yeah, sex sells, but damn yo.. like, thats ridiculous. then i seriously believe that either Gillie Da Kid and/or Drake are writing her material. she be all up on the internet mag sites, stating that she writes her own lyrics.. bullshit. talking about an album - like my homegirl said; "she sounds like a female robot Lil Wayne.."

this is the reason hip-hop is dead as hell now. smh. reeee-damn-diculous.

..on the emblem.

this is one of those cars where if you seen it in your local neighborhood, you'd think either they're a celebrity, a professional athlete or they sell alot of damn drugs..

the Maserati Gran Turismo has GOT to be one of the finest cars on the market next to the Bentley & Bugoti in my opinion. its a 4.7L V8 with about 440 horses once its at 7000 rpms.. alotta power for a luxury sports car. then it doesn't do too bad with speed, getting from 0-60 in about 4.8secs or so. the base price for this joint is about $130,000 but thats chump change when T.I. got Ferraris that cost something close to a damn mil'.

this joint is dope though. this is one of those cars where you're in South Beach or something on a cool Spring night, about to hit the nightspot. hahaha. dopeness, indeed.

Modern Amusment /// ..just a few things i found to my liking.

Raw /// Nudie

like i've always said, denim nowadays to me is madd irregular. i prefer khakis but if there's some nice raws i see, i just might pay attention, hahaha.

CheapMonday is notorious for female denim & having a wide selection & arrangements of dyes & cuts.

Orjan Andersson is a genius ass designer. he's kinda weird but the end product is CheapMonday. even Kanye & Lil Wayne have gotten some jeans custom made from CheapMonday.

the line became a brand in 2005 & CM got slots & sales in select/various stores in Sweden under their company name Weekend Brands, a break off of the name of their store they had in Stockholm in 2000 called "Weekends" that only was open on Saturdays & Sundays.

funny as hell that with a store that was only open on weekends, they made enough money to progress to what they are today. illness.

Proteeeeein Barsss.

Ksubi is like one of the most creative lines that i've followed in life. its Australian so i guess thats what makes it stand out more than alotta labels.

they've always got dope color arrangements. i don't like too many sets of denim but they've got alotta different patterns & creative designs, especially for females.

it was formally named "Tsubi" but got renamed by Dan Single, George Gorrow, Paul Wilson & Oscar Wright.

Superhero.

you're the first thing i think about in the morning& the last thing at night.. when i'm taking a shower, when i'm closing a business deal, when i'm eating.. & what i think about most is how much this smile represents US, not so much just ME.. i think God knew what he --- no.. God KNEW what he was doing when he sent you to me because it was a reason that i was sent to you.

i think about everything thats tried to break me & deface who i am & try to show people who i really am. in those steps, i see you in some of the same situations - so charge the bland comments & gestures to my mind, never my heart because i truly care about you, Brianna.

i think you're the best thing to ever happen to me & thats why i decided to move past the difficulties that were waged amongst us. it aint easy because its all fresh but i thought to myself; ..if i'm serious about her... like, if i really give in to the Devil, then i really can't say i love you the way i do.. but everyone knows thats a complete lie. they see it when they look at me. so much of you is seen through me through others that its ridiculous.. but i'm not gonna let one thing destroy this sht. yeah, mistakes happen. you weigh it, you handle it, you move on. only the small minded idiots dwell on it.

i want you to be standing next to me years from now, standing in our success, whether it BE small or large.. i'm not 100% percent but you knew that straight up coming into this.. & i told you that this part of my life is gonna be a rebuilding stage & that if you couldn't understand, handle or respect it, to not waste your time.

..but you accepted the challenge & that has me loving you 100 times more because with that, you let me know that you're genuinely for me; for who i am.. just like i'm for you & for who you are..

i can't breathe a breath with out seeing your face in the glitches of my mind.. i can't take a step without seeing me & you walking together.. i miss you like hell, but i know its only gonna get better & better as these years go by because soon, you'll have me all to yourself & i'll have YOU all to myself. no, i don't think i'm perfect but you sure as hell make me convinced, seeing that i've got to be CLOSE to perfection, seeing that YOU'RE already there & BEEN there for some time now.. you're so beautiful, babe. i don't need nothing else (well my phone & external hard drive & some headphones lol) but other than that i don't need sht else.. all i want is you, Brianna. always AND forever. thats what we said, right? *smiles*

"Bria's Interlude" /// Drake feat. Omarion

Thanksgiving 2009.

this year for Thanksgiving, i got the chance to cook & be by myself. now, alotta people reading that line thought either i don't have any family, have a messed up family or that i'm just anti-social. 2 out of 3 aint bad.

i've got family but i really don't have a "family". my past isn't the most glamourous nor the most perfect but i'm thankful to have gone through the things that i have gone through to be who i am now. i wish my grandmother was still alive. i think i woulda spent a week UP to Thanksgiving with her & cooked with her at her house.

i'm thankful for my abilities that i have, the talent that i possess, even though i was wish it was as sharp as it should be. i'm thankful for all the close friends i have (very small list; you know your names) & i'm thankful for having such a beautiful girlfriend, to keep me leveled, driven & comforted. i love you babe. next year its me & you for Thanksgiving.

i thank God that i'm breathing & even though one of my legs isn't 100% percent, i'm still standing. i don't what it is He's trying to show me or teach me but umm, i've only got one leg left, haha. i hope He understands that even when i'm not physically praying, that he reads my mind & knows my heart. i'm a simple man, looking for simple answers that lead me to my riches & rewards. i'm close but i know there's something i'm not doing but if He shows me, in due time, i WILL execute.

peace & love. /// *Ace

French Vogue x KAWS

okay, no i'm not gay just because i like to read Vogue magazine. just because its women's couture, doesn't mean a man can't enjoy it. step your game up. stop hating from the sidelines.

KAWS & Raquel Zimmerman's talented ass teamed up in the November issue of French Vogue & i love it. she's one of the few lightweight models that i can stand. alot of em i can't, lol. the joint in this month's issue is titled "Graffi-Couture" so it fits. she's always got something fly on & KAWS is JUST dammit fly. the photographer is Mario Sorrenti, whom i've never heard of before but from what i see, he's kinda ill with the camera.

if you're not into Vogue, get into it. its a dope mag. i get inspiration from French & Italia Vogue alot. they're always on top of things. the US needs to step it up.. just sayin'.
