Flavour of the month

Things I currently like-

Eating beetroot out of the can

Playing and yelling 'the champ is here' on my bongos just like Muhammad Ali (just ask Tamia for proof). Here is a link if you dont know what I'm talkin bout- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipHv9Xdj-Oc

Drinking margaritas this <----------------------------------------> BIG
And pretending its Easter already & eating lots of these babies, yummmahhhh. Get them away from me NOW!

My first pair of Nike's

Nike: Air Jordan 1 Retro KO High Spring 2010.

My earliest memories of kicks I had as a kid were the White/Red pair, and I thrashed the hell out of them, and they're back.



The much anticipated Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro KO High is returning Spring 2010 in two colorways. Both the white/red and black/white/red versions of the sneaker will be released officially on March 20th. Available for pre-order at http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kinetics-tokyo/402297-101/

D'Angelo update

I follow Erykah Badu on twitter, her recent updates in the last week have mentioned that she is in the studio with D'Angelo and The Roots. One can only hope this will = genius.

Diggy Simmons - made you look

I know about Diggy from watching Run's House, he's Rev Runs son. Diggy definitely got something going on, shits all over his brother JoJo.

whats on my mind...

All about you and your love stories, never about me and my life story,
careless is your interest in other peoples ways, careful about your own and its all you got to say.
Doubtful in my mind to the ones I thought were true, I usually see through, but instead I saw you!

Two minds to how I feel, but my heart only speaks truth, battles with uncertainty, deep breaths bring courage to you.
Standing still in the moment, appreciating whats before me, you walk straight past, your intentions are to take the forefront in other peoples minds, little do you know how eyes are cast upon you, maybe your weakness better left unsaid as knowing your reality may be your death.

Those of us who know it hide the world in our eyes, while those blinded in the moments share arrogance without sight.
Untouchable love has always been to me, maybe my weakness will leave my lonely, but yours only leaves you as a fool, I can admit mine, but can you?

Judgement without knowing can leave you missing a good thing, knowing first, no assumptions cast, the forefront of what is real.
Take it or leave it, a chance is there to be had, like dice rolled our common souls are left to the unknown til we're chanced into life's story of our own.

words by shoop.

D’Angelo Arrested for Soliciting Police Officer for Sex


R&B crooner D’Angelo has been absent from the spotlight for years, but he reappeared this weekend in police custody.

The Grammy winner, 36, was arrested Saturday around 2:30 a.m. after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while driving through New York City’s West Village, according to the New York Post.

D’Angelo, born Michael Archer, spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute. He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, sources report. He had $12,000 stored in his Range Rover.

The arrest comes as he is recording his third studio album, the first since 2000’s platinum-selling Voodoo.

Why D Whyyyyy? I got you whenever you need it! Even if you now look like this, if you can still sang like you sang, you can still get it from me!

Harry the duck whisperer

I have been at my new job for 2 weeks now. After being a lady of leisure for the past 4 months due to overseas travels I'm now slowly adjusting back into a 9 to 5. Starting a new job is always stressful and my brain has been fried the past 2 weeks learning my new position. The one thing keeping my sanity is that I get to spend my lunch breaks here...



.
Here is where I met Harry, a vagrant in his 40s. I ran into Harry one morning walking to work, he was rockin the barefoot, shorts and singlet look with a stubbie in his hand for breakfast. Walkin past we exchanged head nods.
.
Later that day on my lunch break in the park I walk past the pond and see Harry standing on the waters edge wailing his arms around and talking to the ducks. I say hi and ask what he's upto and he explains that he's just hanging out with the ducks and having a chat to them.
.
At this stage the ducks were over the otherside of the pond and Harry says 'im a duck whisperer you know!' Next thing Harry lifts his hands in the air and yells out 'come on now' and all of the ducks swim straight over to him and hang around at his feet, a couple get out the water and walk on the lawn and Harry so happy with his life continues his convo with them.
.
I walk away slightly baffled and later see Harry walking through the park singing.
.
The simple things.

First Storm of 2010

Photo via my housemate Nick.

So it kinda rained pretty heavy yesterday, along with hail stones the size of golf balls. Elizabeth Street in the city turned into a river. Click here for the evidence- http://img94.yfrog.com/i/mnc.mp4/

Summer is offically over.

ATCQ Movie!

I got excited in my pants at this news.

Having forged a 20-year run as one of the most innovative and influential hip hop bands of all time, the Queens NY collective known as A TRIBE CALLED QUEST have kept a generation hungry for more of their groundbreaking music since their much publicized breakup in 1998. Acclaimed actor Michael Rapaport documents the inner workings and behind the scenes drama that follows the band to this day, and explores what’s next for what many claim are the pioneers of alternative rap in his feature directorial debut, BEATS RHYMES AND FIGHTS: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest.

Here’s a list of the actors and actress’s in the film:

A Tribe Called Quest, Pharell, Nas, Mos Def, Travis Barker, Ludacris, Beastie Boys, Santigold, Mary J. Blige, Monie Love, Busta Rhymes, Pete Rock, Common, Large Professor, De La Soul, The Jungle Brothers and much more…
