Yup, if you haven’t already heard then you’re hearing it here!..Kanye West has been interning at The Gap headquarters in Manhattan, paired with partner Patrick Robinson to spruce up the Gap label.

as much as I don’t listen to Kanye’s music anymore, it’s kind of hard to escape his fashion statements, when everyone and their mother seems to blog about his sense of style, what him and or his Girlfriend Amber Rose are wearing. to some he’s a trend setter, someone they follow, actually a lot more then some..so I’m sure he will take the Gap brand into a new direction, and I don’t doubt he will provide followers with some amazing pieces. now, do I want to be dressed up in Kanye inspired attire from head to toe? NO! will I wear something I find to be dope? sure. let’s wait and see what he delivers, because if he can turn miss hood booger Amber Rose into a style icon, I’m quite sure he can work miracles on some of you.

I mean the beat is dope, his rage is dope, but still I’m mad that the only good shit he can work up is if he’s gettin at somebody, like come on Eminem you’ve been doin that shit since 1998 can we get some new ammo?

im not sure when it happened, but at some point in time, maybe when the guiliani administration took over and enforced those gay ass quality of life laws, the piragua guy from my hood vanished.

i didnt have one in mad long and then i went to bk with jes and ka and there was a cart posted up on the corner. i immediately made a bee line for the cart and dogged my cherry shit. when i was younger i would stare mad intently trying to figure out how the ice got into the lil triangle thing. i feel mad nostalgic for the moment. i need my old man piragua guy back from my childhood, if hes not dead. if hes dead that sucks but then his seeds should carry on the legacy.

I absolutely LOVE to see things like this. They make me smile so big.

I’m probably a month late but whatever.

life as you know it will always throw you a curve ball. I’m not striking out this time! I’m tired of always being the kind of friend who’s there for her friends, but yet when I’m in need of a friend, my friends are no where to be found.

this is to one friend in particular, the best friend. I’m done. I’m done trying and I’m done hearing excuses, I’m done approaching you and telling you that as a friend you’re fucking up and I’m done listening to I’m sorry.

I should have known better. it’s not like your personality is anything new to me, you’ve always done the shit you’ve done for the amount of years I’ve known you for. I guess my issue was, I put it aside because I wanted to make the friendship work. I wanted to actually say – I have a female friend I can vibe with, give or take the molding I did.

I’m moving on and I’m pulling the plug, this time for good. shit will never be what it was, and that’s fine people grow, and people grow apart. I’m accepting that it is what it is and after April and Chino’s death and the way you handled me as a friend, I don’t need it. people always question you when I introduce you to them, “she’s a weird chick” but whatever I assure them “na she’s cool” people could never understand our friendship mentally, we were on two different pages but on the same book. dear ex best friend, you have a lot of mental growing up to do. take a step back and look at yourself, and your life, all of the things you have accomplished? why do you think you’ve never had a boyfriend? if it’s one thing men see, it’s mental stability and as much as you can pretend to have it, they know it’s not there, they sense something is missing, as cool as you may be to them. I blame your parents for that, they spoiled and continue to spoil you which forces you to have no real need, want, and motivation to go out and make a living in the real world. everything has always been spoon fed to you. it’s a blessing and a curse because it’s made you who you are, as well as allowed you to abuse it.

I’m done, this is my peace making. I’ve deleted your numbers so that it makes it easier on me. I’ve deleted your from my personal space. please don’t bother writing me a letter this time. let me move on, alone. I wish you nothing but the best in life. never forget your real influence. peace.

am I the only person who gets a laugh out of commercials for weight loss supplements? how they make it seem like it’s this magic pill that will make you lose 100 pounds while you sit on your ass and do nothing all day! -.- like the funniest is when the girl is in her “fat jeans” talkin’ bout she went down 10 sizes lol..yeah because they can’t just buy a pair of size 22 jeans and stick a size 2 broad in ‘em. or before and after photos, because photos can’t be altered? yeah right! I know people fall for this shit EVERY SINGLE DAY! because they want to believe that there is an easy way, but there isn’t. there are no magic pills, and even so pills are to suppress your appetite along with a diet and exersie, pills don’t work if you take them and stuff 10 cheese burgers down your throat right after.

I’m all for people accepting their body and their image as who they are, but if you want to lose weight go about it the smart way. see a doctor first so they can tell you what’s ok for you to take and what’s not, because those pills aren’t very good for you. then find a nutritionist who can make the right kind of diet for you, your goal, and so that you don’t grow fustrated and give up.

if all else fails, then like I said just accept yourself for who you are, because you’re not the only one. don’t over obsess the image of women on T.V. and in magazines, because those too are all false hopes, and nothing is ever what it appears to be when it comes to Hollywood and the glitz and glamour.  people will accept you if you accept yourself. people can smell weakness and the weak get eaten. in the real world it’s not about looks it’s about confidence that’s what lures someone in, your ora. don’t believe me? I know we’ve all seen the not so pretty guy/girl with the hot ass guy/girl..we’ve all seen the BIG girl at the club gettin mad digits,  I’m tellin you it’s the confidence man, it only takes one person to believe something to convince others, and that one person is YOU! so ladies quit stressin these miracle diets, stop depriving yourself, and start just living.

i am internally conflicted. while i think its corny to base your career on selling sex, and i have a distaste for constant name dropping of famous brands, i cant deny this chicks talent. shes nicki minaj and shes nasty with it, son. heres her myspace, but most of her bangers youll need to find elsewhere. i recommend dead wrong and warning.

I just finished watching a documentary on HBO called “PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI.” It’s a film that takes a look inside the life of high school seniors who face public racism and separate proms as this Charleston Mississippi tradition.

Racism is nothing new, nor will it ever really die, but I can say I’ve been fortunate to grow up and live in such a complex, diverse community where people were just people and kids were kids and no one was a product or outcast because of the color of their skin.

This film was shot I believe sometime in 2007-2008 and to think that, that would be the year where they have their first integrated prom. I mean just think about it, I can only speak for myself and what I assume just about all of you if not all of you went to a prom where there were white people, black people, latinos, asians, you fucking name it they were there, so for these kids to just now be experiencing what to us is a normal prom is just insane and sad. to understand that sadly there are these stupid filled people who can’t seem to think outside the box, it’s sad and not only sad but pitiful. I mean if you have HBO just check out the film it’s on demand or search for it online, I’m sure you can find it on a site somewhere.

All of us have seen the Kanye West x Takashi Murakami Golden Bear sculpture that comes in a Metallic Gold, now Murakami has gotten back together with one of his long time collaboration partners, Louis Vuitton, to create this Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Panda figure. The figure comes in a LV bag, similar to the ones that hold all of their wallets and bags, only this bag comes with a few Murakami images screened onto it. No word on if this collaboration collector’s item will be released, stay tuned. via VERBAL

I want this little bastard! How fucking cute?!?! I think I enjoy Takashi’s creation of Kanye as the little bear then I actually do Kanye himself lol.

I <3′D NY BEFORE YOU MOVED HERE & MADE IT SUCK.

with people comparing willyb’s recent heroin problem to st marks in the 70’s, and this crazy ass american gangster-esque operation going on in the bx, i think its safe to say the junkies and the like are back in full effect. thats my word, after reading that article, i caught a visual of those naked bitches baggin up the heroin on that movie.

and, apparently someones runnin around the club/karaeoke scene with some DMT. can i put in a request? if you dont know what dmt is, the best explanation ive ever heard came from joe rogan.

plus, there are fewer cops on the streets. its a good time to be a criminal.

because when I’m bored and have nothing to do and no one to use as canvas I use my face as one, playing with make-up has always been a hobby of mine and last night I was feeling a bit fafi’ish lol

its near perfect, its just missin a dunk donuts logo.

because the previous post made me think..wouldn’t it be great to see J-Hearts take over the  posters for this movie around the city/theaters..of course it would
