At any rate, an update is in order.
it's been:
-6 months since the last entry (damnn).
-4 months since i've graduated college (yee!).
-2 months since I gambled for the first time ever (and came up! $20+!)
you can find me:
-playing with Bella, my pom puppy, at least 3 hours day.
-record digging constantly
-watching "Weeds"
-missing SC folks like no other
in the next couple of years, i want to:
-be working, doing what i love to do.
-have a solid library of beats, clothing & mixtapes out
-still blogging w/ the CertifiedFRESH! crew (CF ALL DAY!)
-happy with the government (A change is gonna, word to Cooke..)
Overall, to be completely real, I hate my life right now. I wish it was 3 months, 7, months, even a whole year in the past, where i was at least still around so many different people (in the flesh) on my level, to inspire and become inspired by, to drop my books and embark on a dangerously exhilerating excursion with at any moment.. i don't feel at home here.
it may have to do with the actions of certain people close to me, partly with the parentals.. but after grade school, there literally is nothing left that this town has to offer me.
Whoa. I meant to just post a bunch of pictures and caption them out with awe-inducing anecdotes (sorry, denno why the sudden asphyxia over alliteration...ok, i suck), but this blog kinda took a u-turn.
Okay, picture time!
recently, I've just been bumping Waajeed like a mad scientist. i mean mad man. anywhoozers (word to that SNL girl in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, haha), his "Remixes & Re-Edits" mixtape is DOPE. get @ me and I'll share it with you!
I saw these dunks on Niketalk, dubbed the "Channel Zero" dunks. Damn they are fly; no one seemed to like them on NT, but I'm certain it's that 'reverse-psychology' move on shoe forums these days, to fake out other wanna-be-fresh kick newbies into looking the other way from something too ill..
what draws me is the play on the paneling pallete with the pastelles (ugh, sorry); if these were a low-top dunk i'd get a pair!
Saadiq is the man. His 'Best Of Raphael Saadiq' mixtape by DJ Uncle Q (search through Certifiedfresh.tumblr.com for it!) was dope, his cameo on Q-Tip's "The Renaissance" was butter, and his fashion freshness is fla--beyond compare.
<--- this interview was really good, he goes on at length about the album inspiration, the significance of his final pre-How I See It performance at Oakland's Historic Sweets Ballroom, and so much more. 
enough said. & the artist that did this owns. VOTE!!!!!
but honestly... eff mccain AND obama.. YEAH I SAID IT!!! why?!??
?UESTO FOR PREZ, CUZ!!!
2icky's favorite shoe collection photo made me drool and die a little inside... I WANT THESE!
this girl (via lookbook.nu)'s wall is so much like mine, with the records on there and all (i only do records if i have triples), and the record sleeve theme too; fresh girl!
Yeezy... from GQ's Sartorialist blog; simply timeless freshness just exudes from him. i love it!
I've been watching the Stylista on the CW channel, where a dozen or so contestants vie for the Junion Editor spot @ Elle magazine, plus a condo for their job duration, %100k AND a year's-worth wardrobe from H&M. DAMN. Anyway, I've been feeling DeyShaun's style(pictured above)out of all the other guys, particularly is frames flavor. Ashlie's my favorite so far, but we'll see as the series unfolds..
These new SBTG x (other high-end designer) collabo dunks were my favorite of the 3-shoe pack: Selvedge denim, zippers and other beautiful touches make this pair of heat glisten. Retail, unfortunately was $600 (!!). I would love to own a pair that utlizied the selvedge motif all around the shoe, that'd be sweet!
i need Mickey shoes.
this in4mation watch is really nice!
finally, just had to make one last plug:
this is the whole Certified Fresh family minus me! these people all contribute the flyest, nicest, and of course FRESHEST that our t3-paced world has to offer; be sure to drop by, indulge, leave a message + spread the word!
I was kidding about the whole ?uestlove presidential plug, btw...
the choice is yours. (make the right choice and click the banner ^above to visit Certified Fresh!)
peace.
