Clocked

Friday after class I finally got to experience Clocked in DT Athens. I must say it was pretty damn good...almost like the Vortex in Lil Five just not as cool but it totally made me want to go to ATL and Lil Five sooooooooo bad! If you like burgers I suggest checking it out!






SUMO


My homeboy SUMO aka Nile aka...is starting to pop up around town! These are just a few I was able to get close enough to take a picture of, but look around for some of his handwork the weather is getting nicer I am sure you'll be seeing alot more him!



Song of the day "Window Seat" by Erykah Badu feat ?uestlove

I downloaded this song about a month or so ago its finally starting to be released wide due to the fact that Miss Badu's album drops on Tuesday! I have missed her music for awhile now its real soulful and funky. I can relate to this song right now as well which is always good when listening to new music. Plus ?uestlove did the drums so you know its legit!

You know a little GREEN TEA for my Erykah Badu chicks!

I need u to want me
Need you to miss me
I need your attention
I need you next me
I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
So, in my mind i’m tusslin’
Back and forth ‘tween here and hustlin’
I don’t wanna time travel no mo



This is the actual video that came out yesterday for the song its pretty strange but I mean its in par with Miss Badu...and she takes off her clothes its trip.

They Just Don't Make Em Like They Us To...

This weekend is the 6th Annual Robert Osborne Classic Film Festival here in Athens. I volunteered at the festival last night when they were showing Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid...a great movie. The experience of watching these classic movies the way they were suppose to be seen in all their Cinema Scope glory is soooo amazing! Last night I got to watch the movie from the top balcony it was incredible to say the least. I realized they really don't make movies like they use to. Maybe because most actors aren't badasses like these two guys. Robert Redford is a total OG with impeccable style and outlook on life and celebrity. He has dedicated his life to the preservation of nature and all its wonders! A couple years ago I did a speech about him and I learned lot about all the work he has done to help our planet. Total G!

Head On

"Head On" is a special project commissioned by Steven Spielberg. Shot on RED. Animations and compositing completed in Adobe After Effects. Conceived and completed in only 10 days and its pretty amazing...It follows a boy who uses his imagination to connect with a girl on a NYC subway. It is shot so well I especially like the use of the beat box which mixes samples from two great songs A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and Let's Ride by Q-Tip so DOPE! After today's class and watching this I am so ready to start shorting my project next weekend! and hopefully acting in my friends won't be to hard...

Song of the day "Soundtrack 2 My Life" by Kid Cudi

This is one of my favorite songs from Kid Cudi he is one of the best artiest out right now fo sho...This video just dropped today and its pretty cool just following him around on tour you know the day to day livin

I got 99 problems and they all bitches
Wish i was jigga man
Care free livin.

My hearts an open sore that i hope heals soon
I live in a cocoon opposite of cancun
Where it is never sunny the dark side of the moon
So its moving right i try to shed some light on the man
Not many people of this planet understand.

Haters shake my hand but i keep the sanitizer on deck
Hope i really get to see thirty
Wanna settle down stop being so flirty
Most of the clean faces be the most dirty

I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pourin' outta me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life

Happy St. Patty's Day 2010


Happy St. Patty's Day everyone. It is def Ireland weather outside. Today is a different St. Patty's Day then I have had in the last couple of years. This will be the first year in at least 5 or 6 that I will not be going to the Pub in Decatur with my family. It is kind of sad to think about it ya know. Today also sucks because I have 9:30 AM classes on Thursdays (tomorrow) so I really wouldn't want to get fucked up anyways plus I have a ASL presentation tomorrow at 9:30 AM that I have to do good on! So no going out no St. Patty's celebration. Sometimes I get mad at everyone that just wants to go get drunk because its St. Patty's not because they are Irish or anything like that, but I guess today everyone is Irish after all.

Photos from my Ireland trip...

Proof Girls are Evil

This might be some of the simplest math out there...I don't know if I fully agree because to me in relationships money is simple you just trade on who pays and when you know just keep it equal. At my age its not like either of us are rolling in greenbacks. But hey this equation still makes since.

K'NAAn "Waving Flag"

I am not the biggest soccer fan but this song is good and the video is legit. There are some great shots of Damian Marley playing soccer which is real cool.

New Watch

I finally spent my Amazon gift cards that i've had since christmas! And this is what I got! I have wanted a sports watch for a while now. This past week on SB I realized how much it was needed since I couldn't wear my other watch to snorkel or really do anything at the beach or outside. I like to keep my things nice you know so they last a long time. I have been pretty into watches since I got my other watch for my birthday over the summer. While shopping for this watch I finally saw how much my birthday watch cost. I had never checked to see because that kind of thing doesn't mean anything to me. The price of the gift is not what makes it special ya know. But this watch DAMN! I always loved it and thought it was great before I knew but now I just feel like damn what a nice gift/watch/ fuck my life right now she was/is such a BA!

Evolution of the Nike Logo


The Swoosh logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 – a graphic design student that Phill Knight met while teaching an accounting class at Portland State University to supplement his then-fledgling business. He paid a grand total of $35! Phill never liked the logo but stuck onto it quoting “I don’t love it, but it’ll grow on me”. 12 years later in 1983, Davidson got an invitation to lunch by Nike where Knight surprised her with a gold Swoosh ring embedded with diamond and an envelope containing Nike stock. Nike is one of the best companies to work for they take care of their people!

Spring Break 2010 and the State of Things

This past week was spring break. It was really needed to say the least but of course it came and went to quickly...I went on a cruise with the Ksaw family it was soooo good to see all my friends. I didn't know how long it had been since I had seen a lot of my people. I realize now just how much I missed all of them. I always knew I missed them...moving away from my Ksaw family was very hard to do. Living here in Athens away from everything I really care about I realize how alone I am, I don't really have anyone to talk to about how I really feel you know. The friends I have here are new and I am def not comfortable talking to them about my personal affairs. I had some great conversations with my brothers over the break. I do know that moving away has helped with me and my brother Joseph "Stacks" Spada relationship which is a positive.

Its hard to start over...I've always said no regrets, and I don't regret anything that has happened in the last year but its hard to not think what if...what if this what if that. I try not to think about her but E is always in the back of my mind. Life gets hard sometimes...

Anyways I am back to reality...time to rock out the rest of the semester and figure out what I am going to do this summer! MAN It never stops!
