the big homie Phil Ade is back at it again , with his second single off his up coming mixtape, The Letterman, droppin July 6th. def be on the lookout for that!

something to play with.... pause

im really looking forward to my next pay check because i would really like to purchase this Fujifilm Instax 7s Instant (polaroid) Camera. nowadays you dont see many people with a polaroid camera, and if someone does posses one they're probably breaking their back to find film. this camera, being a modern twist on a classic camera, doesnt give the owner such issues (thank God for ebay) and is a lot more fun than it may seem. its an all around dope product that can do so much for being so simple. i cant wait to shoot everything with this camera this summer.

No Days Off... ok maybe one

ive been working a lot recently, and a day off every now & then is great for the soul. i mean who doesnt like to take a break from the stress & worries of the workplace?
today was such a great day to be out! i took care of some things early on & surprised my moms at work. i took her to lunch after her shift at the senior center. she was lunchin talkin about how she saw the back of Obamas head earlier since he was at her job, she hit me with the "its for real tho, lets connect, politic. ditto". she was extra salty tho she didnt get to meet him but she'll be alright.

backpack, backpack

as summer arrives, and starts gearing up into full swing, i have to start thinking of the purchases i need to make for the next school year... mainly so i know how much is a necessary expense and how much i can spend on whatever else.

one of these purchases is definitely a backpack. for me, a backpack has been as much a part of my style as sneakers and wrist ornaments. not only does the backpack serve purpose, but its also a staple accessory for the high school and college student. throughout high school my Northface Jester held me down where ever i went, def being one of the dopest backpacks out. for the years ive relied on it to carry my things to and fro but now its seems that its days are numbered. the color has severly faded into a marooish purple, (mind you it was once black) as well as numerous holes have plagued the poor thing, so now im looking for something new.

now which one to get?
