The Royal Caribbean

2009-08-21T17:06:00.000-07:00

I had never been on a cruise in my life. And i have to say that EVERYONE should go on one! Everything was so nice. The people, the ship, the girls, just everything! I went with my best friend Troy, and we met so many people! It was like a 5 day cruise, and time flew by so fast because we were having so much fun! I will say that riding Jet Ski's are so much fun! And the Islands that we docked at were amazing! I already miss everyone we met, and this is def. something i will NEVER forget!

Nike SB - “Toxic Sea Robin” Dunk
This unlisted August 2009 release from Nike SB is perhaps a commentary on the waning conditions of our environment. Dubbed the “Toxic Sea Robin” or the “Toxic Avenger”, these Nike Dunk Low are done up! But Those colors just don't fit me so i have to say no cop on this one.

Sneaker CaLL!!

2009-08-14T00:07:00.000-07:00

This summer alone, i have managed to buy over 15 pairs of kicks. Kinda decided that i would start a collection. From dunks, Sb's, Blazers, Half Cab's, and Ice Creams. My Collection has started off on the right track. Most of my shoes costing easily over $250, because a lot of the shoes i do have are rare. Like i just paid $325 for the Dino Junior Dunk High's that came out in 2007 and are EXTREMELY rare now. But if you go to my school this year you will get to view the masterpiece!haha

What I like to see.

Kanye west teams up with Spike Jones for a short film set to be released in iTunes September 8th. This will be my first time seeing Kanye do some work like this, and I have been writing short films so i think this will also be a learning experience for me as well as entertaining.

Kidrobot opens in Dallas!!

2009-08-01T11:01:00.000-07:00

Kidrobot has opened a store in Dallas Yall! This is crazy, and i never thought that this would happen. From collectible toys to clothing, kidrobot is a very different brand that attracts many different personalities!

Hey Guys! Sorry i am just now getting the pictures out to ya'll but I have just been busy with a lot of things! But here are a few of the pictures from the trip! Hope you like them.

To conclude my vacation.

2009-07-27T17:13:00.000-07:00

In all i do have to say that this has been the best vacation that i have ever been on in my life! It was my first time outside of the United States, and London was the perfect country to visit for my first experience. Everything is so different, and it's so cool. The taxi rides, the shops, the food, the clothes ( by the way i got some good stuff for this upcoming school year that will definatley turn heads. Everything is more expensive which can be a downer sometime but it is worth it. Another thing is the cars. Almost every block you turn on there is a Bentley, Benz, BMW, and Porche. It's CRAZY! The city itself is so beautiful, and when i am making millions when i get older directing movies i definatley will have a house out here to come to for a few months. But i can go on for days about how London is the best Country ever!haha But i wont. I will post pictures from my wonderful journey tomorrow because they are on so many different cameras that i don't have access to right now. But i will be sure to post them tomorrow for sure!

But im out

God Bless, Peace

2009-07-24T19:42:00.001-07:00

This is probably one of the best vacations i have been on in my life. Everything is so different and it's SO many fine girls out here! its like 9:39 in Dallas time but its 3 39 over here. I just woke up so I'll probably go to the kitchen and pick something up to eat and go back to sleep. But i will get back at y'all later!

God Bless. Peace

My Thoughts Of The Day

2009-07-12T22:55:00.000-07:00

What's up yall! It has been a very long day! I stayed on iChat last night till about 7 a.m. just chilling talking to my friends, but was it fun! haha We got so bored we made a 8 min. long video which was Hilarious and i will try to get that up as soon as i can. But other than that i went to sleep, and didn't wake up untill about 3:30. Surprisingly when i woke up i was really relaxed and well rested! Which was a good thing because i had to be at work at 5. (GOTTA get the rest!) Since it was so late of course my grandma had to be cooking, and man was it good! Steak, Baked Potatoes, Greens, and Homemade Mac n Cheese.lol! Went to work on a good full stomach. Work was okay. Besides the fact that untill the last hour of work customers wanted to come in one at a time which gave my co-workers and i no time to start getting our duties done for closing time. Was i mad!lol Then after we do close the owner of our store calls up and tells us to check the Fax Machine for a fax he wanted us too see. And it HAD to be a COMPLAINT sheet that was sent to him from one of the customers that had come in Earlier during the day. He had about 3 paragraphs talking about how bad the store looked, how my co-workers and i were singing songs in the back.lol which we were, but come on now!hahaa...how our shift leader for the night was staring at him while he was whipping left over food off the table and chairs, WHich NO one saw him doing.! I hope that man goes to Hell, and maybe somehow i can get lucky and he will come across my blog and read this..lol i highly doubt it but hey.haha. But other than that.haha. So To CONCLUDE my day, it was cool, and i'm just thankful that God let me live another day. Can't take that for granted, or complain. But i now have 10 followers!haha i know thats nothing but hey its better than nothing. Make sure if you have not pressed that button at the top right that says follow you do! And some of my girl homies that love my blog have given me some great constructive criticism saying that i should put good girl/women fashion as well as i do men, and i agree with them on that. I want both sexes to be able to like my blog so i will start doing that!

But i'm out yall, God Bless

Peace.

Listening to: Shining Down-Lupe Fiasco

What's up filmmakers! I finally went to sleep at a decent time last night because i actually skateboarded kind of hard yesterday for a few hours with my friend Corey. But it was 2 a.m.! aha. But as i was sleeping peacefully, i was woken up by loud vacuum cleaners from our housekeepers cleaning the house! Which kind of angered me a bit. Then i had to wake up and sleep downstairs on the couch because they wouldn't let my room go without cleaning. But it's all good now. Other than that i'm just chilling right now. I have to go to work at 5 p.m. and make a few more bills before i go to london, and New York! Shopping Time! I'm so excited! BUt yea guys i thank the 6 people that have subscribed to my blog. I hope hat i can get a lot more Followers as the day goes by so all of you guys tell your friends, and help me get this thing on the right track.

Well I'm Out Yall,
Peace.

Hard Work Pays Off

2009-07-07T02:07:00.000-07:00

It's like four in the morning but i can't go to sleep right now. I have been working almost everyday this summer, with the exception of maybe 2 days at the most off a week. But i don't have any regrets. Money is what i love and to get the expensive clothing and things i want. I have to make my own money. I try not to depend on my parents to give me everything because this upcoming year i will be a SENIOR in high school which means my last year actually living with my family! I work at Firehouse Subs, and believe it or not it's a pretty laid back job. But i Have a few things in mind i want to show you guys. Such as things i have been buying, and things that i have been looking at, and my new style. I love BBC& Ice Cream, and have been buying a lot of their merchandise this summer. I will be going to London in 2 weeks and i cant wait because i will get to go to the actual BBCICECREAM Store!=]=]
