7th Season

Well hello. Guess who just hit the 50 posts mark...
If you are just hopping back onto the blog for the first time in a few days than you missed some monumental posts as far as length is concerned. So go back and read if you were too lazy to do it the first time around. Reading is essential.

So Sunday evenings usually bring about feelings of utter horror for just about any person. It marks the end of the beautiful phenomenon known as the weekend and a return to the back and fourth shuffle to and from work or classes for the next five days. Well, now-a-days these Sundays are arguably Sundays of an entirely different breed. Entourage, the HBO original series centering around the life of fictional Hollywood star Vinny Chase is coming back with its 7th season to tie up any loose ends from the 6th season.

I’m not going to write about how great of a show Entourage is, how hilarious Ari Gold’s antics were in the past episode, or how just incredibly amazing Sloan seems to look every time she graces the screen. All of that is well and good but it’s being repeated on just about every entertainment blog across the internet. Let’s take the more Away Team approach of things and look at something two shades deeper.

There is an immediate draw about Entourage. From the first episode you find yourself watching-whether it be season the first or the last, you will be immediately drawn into the fairy tale like existence lead on by the motley crew of New York born brothers. It’s that draw that always attracted me to Enourage. The characters, the plot lines, the ladies, the homes it is all of the a fore mentioned that creates this mythical world of being that any man in their right mind would hop into without second thought. It’s the lifestyle that attracts. The idea that you could possibly leave the parents house in which you live and be transplanted into a Hollywood mansion where women of Playboy center speads fall into your lap all while eating every meal at LA’s finest restaurants is a lifestyle second to none. The selling of that lifestyle is what Entourage does best. Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens..

Talented

As an enormous stroke to the ego of my writing ability, it seems that a few of you actually have been reading the entire post. I will admit that I was a little surprised due to the fact that I generally assume that my posts that contain mostly writing are not as universally accepted or appreciated as much as their picture documentation brethren. it is greatly appreciated.
On my daily rounds on youtube i came across these 2 talented people..

For the ladies, i found a girl who can play top40 songs on 4 iPhones. You want to know what i do on my iPhone? NOTHING, anyway She makes it look effortless. notice in the first video she speaks Korean, and then switches up to Japanese, and then English, and continues to sing in Engrish...enjoy

For the fellas,
Although something about this guy screams I Live in my Mothers Basement. This guy is badass, Parkour + Martial Arts + Tumbling + Magic Tricks + Juggling + Yo Yos + Skating...yeah all of that in 1 man. While you're watching, notice how many times he looks at the camera as if to say "yeah, that just happened"



If your name is MARK: What this guy does at 2:07 reminds of something you would do haha.
Happy Friday everyone.

It's a Celebration Clap, Clap, Bravo...

I was always skeptical of new comers. My more musically up to date brothers made sure that I was listening to Drake since he first dropped. I always thought it was comical that he was Wheel-chair Jimmy from Degrassi. Everyone else in the rap world seemingly is able to overlook this however and enjoy the man’s music...wait some of you are still unaware of Drake?

First of all the above isn’t a Calvin Klein, Land’s End, or LL Bean Fall 2010 catalog cover.

In case you have been hiding under a rock the size of well…Yoa Ming for the past two years prior to that than you know that the above is Aubrey Graham otherwise known to the world as Drake. The all singing, all acting, all bum-knee having savior of Hip Hop from the cold land to the North known as Canada. We were banging a Drake mixtape about two years ago and we all thought the kid could spit but we had absolutely no idea that the hype would ever approach this level. With three singles on the Billboard charts, THE biggest song of last summer, and a 3 million dollar deal off of ONE mixtape, it is safe to say that Drake probably had a decent rookie year. I don’t even understand the progression of this man’s career right now, he is pretty much bulletproof. Who can freestyle off of a blackberry, wear a pair of Kool-Aid-esq awful fake Jordans, completely bust his ass on stage and still stroll to the number one spot in the game? I can’t wait to see what "Thank Me Later" does just out of sheer disbelief. Shouts to wheelchairs, don’t forget where you came from...Degrassi son.

For the love of Heather

So it would seem I have somewhat of an unhealthy obsession with heather gray. The infamous fabric material has probably been on your very own back on more than one occasion whether it be a mandatory gym uniform in middle school with your schools name pasted proudly across the front in some Serif type set or if you have bought any number of Obey, Hundreds, 10 Deep, or Crooks pieces. remarkably almost all of which are released in some sort of heather gray whether it be Ash, Salt and Pepper, Eco, or Charcoal.

I have encountered hate for the color in the paste, for some people it may awaken repressed memories of being stuffed in gym lockers as a young student but I cast all of these doubts to the side. Without a doubt my favorite color/option purchase, heather gray offers the perfect balances between neutrality and a touch of off base-ness. It sure isn’t white, but it definitely isn’t as definitive as black either. Something about that speckled nonsense keeps bringing me back for more. Sorry to rant about something like t-shirt materials for the whole post but when you take a look in your closet and notice that most of your Tees, Crews, and Hoodies are all Heather Gray these sorts of things are bound to happen..

Yabamena!

いただきました！本当に良い世界?...what I meant to say was 'Whats really good world? Gonna keep it short today and leave you with something that will blow your mind...maybe not, but i know you'll think its pretty cool.

Push a button located on the bottom of this can of Sake and it instantly becomes warm...Amazing

happy Friday everybody..

The Jam

So sometimes you get this one song, right? Suggestion from a friend, random download from a playlist, picking up an unknown album from a record store, whatever the means of possession might happen to be, this certain songs comes into your life. In today’s current age you drag the little file over to iTunes waiting to see what this mysterious little MP3 file holds for you. The file loads and through the speakers out blasts some glorious cacophony the likes of which you have never heard.

It’s hard to describe but sometimes certain songs hit you on particular days and they literally just change your life for that day. Music really has an incredible power to change the way a person thinks, feels and acts. It can call an entire group of people to action or unite complete strangers. More importantly for you and I, it can take us to a completely different place as we sit in front of a 15 inch computer screen.

If you could see the way the track below makes me get up and walk around my room nodding my head, than you might have a little better understanding of the feeling I am trying to convey. The track is so amazingly soft but at the same time it pounds so hard on a profoundly deeper level. It’s like being smacked with with the finest pillow by the grade school girl on whom you always had a severe crush. Sure you feel it, and sure you are getting hit, but you wouldn’t mind feeling it again and again.

It may not work for you with the below song, the weather may not be right from where ever you are reading, you may not be a fan of the lyrics, hell you may not even like the song. But when you find that perfect song for yourself you will know exactly what I am talking about as you get up out of your chair and begin to nod your head around your room despite the confused stares of those around. That’s what happens to me at least.

They Reminisce over you.

I had a conversation with a lovely lady last night. We spoke a bit about the past. It kind of made me feel old. After a little while of reminiscing, I thought to myself, It’s funny to look back on things and realize how much someone can change and grow in just a matter of months or years. On the same token it’s just as fun to look back and realize how in other ways we can remain exactly the same. Maybe I’m just feeling like an old man because I will be celebrating my birthday, marking 25 years of DOPE on the 31st, and I will officially be in the quarter life grouping..

Where did all the time go.
