Song of The Day: "Struggla" Matisyahu

Open up the gate
Let my prayer rise up
And I struggle every day just to get myself up
For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship
Time again one is bound to slip
We rip through these days
We flip through the age
Survive stay alive we won't trip in the haze
Lost in the maze
I know it's just a phase
But I dread it dread it dread it
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Nike Sportswear Spring 2010 Collection

Nike Sportswear’s Spring 2010 Collection has started to come out already and the collection continues to offer premium Nike Sportswear pieces. Some of the items I am digging on include these aerial city landscape T-shirts, plaid button down, and standard NSW T-shirt in new colorways.

The Losers

This movie looks so badass!

Nike Kill Bill Pack

Kill Bill is one of my favorite movie series ever made. They are some of Tarantino's best work and infact it is rumored that he is going to make third film. I guess Nike isn't to off putting out this Kill Bill Pack, which consists of a Nike Big Nike High and Nike Auto Flight High. Both shoes feature colorways inspired by the movie; yellow to match Uma Thurman’s character’s outfit, red to match all the blood, etc. The Big Nike High rocks a black metallic silver-varsity maize colorway, while the other sports varsity red varsity red-white-speed yellow. Also, the insoles feature the kill list for a nice touch. I'd cop the Auto Flight Highs for sure.

Banksy "Exit Through The Gift Shop"

Banksy Is an amazing graffiti artiest. I love graffiti when its done at this level...a true form of art. My homeboy Blake aka Nile is going to teach me the art of spray paint one of these days and I can't wait!

Nike SB LOST Edition

Nike SB released two LOST inspired shoes as quickstrike releases for January. The Oceanic Airlines Dunk and the DHARMA Initiative Blazers. If you are a fan of the show like me then I know you can't wait for FEB and the final season to start! It is going to be crazy to say the least I hope it ends well and the series goes out on a good note. As for these shoes the Blazers are def my favorite!

Song of The Day: "Million Dollars" Big Sean

I thought this was a really good song when I heard it about a year ago. But this video makes it so much better, it seems real gritty to me. I like how its real not just about throwing money around slamin cadillac doors or pimpin hoes. Big Sean message is that everyone has a dream whatever it is to make lots of money or to fly into outerspace.

Pita Pizza

Pita Pizza is so Dank Phi...For mine I start with a pita and spread pesto all over it then I add a sliced roma tomato garlic a lot of mozzarella and parmesan cheese..place it in the oven at 400 for 10 minutes and enjoy!

The Denzel Washington Venn Diagram

Maxim Magazine has came out with this clever Venn Diagram to show what might be the secret of Denzel's success. Check it out...

GQ UK Victoria Secret Models - “Where The Wild Things Are”

Inspired by Where The Wild Things Are, GQ UK’s latest fashion shoot enlisted runway models that even your regular boy next door would appreciate. Photographed by Gavin Bond, the Victoria Secret models, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Shannan Click, Elyse Taylor, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel, goes wild with Victoria’s Secret gear and fun props including antlers, rifles, and on the tamer side, kittens and lollipop. I must say I like this spread a lot!

Adidas Star Wars Collection

If you know me then you know that normally I am a loyal Nike man. I rep Nike gear daily and truly believe they are the best! However in this case I will make an exception because I love Star Wars and this is a great video as well. Adidas has been promoting their Star Wars Collection for a while now. If you check out the shoes I really don't think they are that fresh and they don't even give a good close up of them in this at all but its a cool ad.

The Shoe Game 3 Year Anniversary Event Recap

This is a lil late, but about a month ago TSG The Show Game held a three years anniversary party at the Nike Store in Lenox Square. I went to take pictures for a class project and just enjoy the event with the rest of the sneaker community. All in all it was a success...

HERE is the Link to my project and more photos enjoy!

Spring Break 2010!

Just booked a cruise to the Bahamas for Spring Break with the KSAW Family! Its going to be "EPIC" or at least that is the choice of words Kev Kev and others have said. We've got almost 16 people going so its bound to be out control! I've never been on a cruise but i've been told multiple times by my parents that I was conceived on one.... Anyways I am pumped to say the least our newly renovated ship is going to Nassau and Half Moon Cay two places that i've never been and always wanted to go! I love going to new spots...53 days SB10!

Cooking

Now that I am back at school i've started to cook again, and here are some meals I made this week. On Monday I made my homemade Fettucini Alfredo with Scallops a simple but delicious dish, and last night I made my Turkey Chili which is always a little different but a great meal on a cold night...I know you want it!

Song of The Day: "History" Mos Def Feat Talib Kweli

This is one of my favorite cuts off of Mos Def's latest album The Ecstatic. I have a specific memory of this song: I was in NYC over the summer and went to John Forte album release party at this amazing underground bar it was a sick spot. I had walked up to the bar to get a drink and standing right next to me was Talib Kweli himself. It was tight to say the least. The DJ didn't miss a beat and put on this track...a great moment in my life.

MK 13 Dropping at Standard

The T-shirt is pretty dope...I don't think I am going to be able to come through and cop it though. Maybe if I still lived in Ksaw or class didn't start until Monday.

Song of The Day: "First of The Month" Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

This song is always great for the 1st day of any month but it seems especially great for January! Its a new year and hopefully it will bring good things...to me i've always thought of years starting by the school year just like the 1st day of the week to me is monday to me not sunday.

Anyways once again I had an insane New Years Eve! I ended up getting hammer slammered and black out drunk. What I can remember of last night is crazy and the stuff I have been told I did and can kind of remember is insane. For example I walked into the middle of the street in DT up to a random car, not a taxi, knocked on the window and asked this older couple that had just drove back from the Wide Spread Panic concert to give me and five other people a ride home and they did it! Apparently I almost got hit by a car as well...At the time everything seemed like a great idea but it has official been a rough day for me I still feel very very very hung over!

Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek are back with the RE:Union mixtape, mixed by Statik Selektah.
