PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR!

Last night was a crazy one.

So I spent most of the evening in emotional ups and downs--which is what happens when you are stuck in relationship purgatory if you will. Coming off a busy day, some people like to relax. Me, I wanna go out and blow some steam, drink some beers, and have some fun. Well at least that’s what I wanted to do last night. So after some time of doing the “Should I / Shouldn’t I” bullshit, I got a BlackBerry message from my homegirl Dez saying, “I got an extra ticket if you decide to come”. What was the ticket for? DJ SupaFlash was hosting a "Kool Aid" party. Not to be mistaken with THE KOOL-AID DRINK! That may not mean anything to anyone who doesn’t know what a kool aid party is– but for those that do – wow.

DJ SupaFlash + Kool-Aid

Yeah. I know.

The shit was bananas. The crowd wasn’t packed with a bunch of youts, everyone was in positive moods, people were dancing, singing out the words, and OBVIOUSLY the music was amazing.

So I wake up “this morning” at like noon and I feel paper against my face. I’m like, “What the fuck is this? I better be laying in a pool of money!” lol. I look up and I have a wristband on as if I just left an all inclusive resort with my high school’s graduating class or some shit. The wristband said, “kool-aid. – do your duty & shake that booty!!!”

I mean, shit. I know subliminal messaging works, but damn. Motherfuckers was doing some serious bootyshaking last night yo hahahaha!!

Shout out to everyone I seen last night that hailed me up. Shout out to Dez for the ticket, the whole LS fam, the group of friends that came through the shop and broke a corkscrew in a bottle of wine, My Man Bernie, Var from Maple for always hooking it up, Brock – I don’t remember whether I actually found you or not homey!, and on and on and on.. and a special, special, special shout out goes to my homegirl Sophia. Last night was amazing. A – maze – zing! It’s always good to see you!!!

OK – so quick story before I sign off:

My “homegirl”, says her sister’s gonna be there. I’m like whatevers. Then when we get there, I realize that her sister is actually a girl that I thought was just her friend. Not that that matters, but anyways.. Her sister turns to me and goes, “So I was looking through some of my old pictures and I realized that when I first came to Philadelphia, you sold me some weed”. LOL. I was like, “Are you from Westchester?!” and she’s like, “Yeah, I was friends with Reggie and he said that he could get me some weed and he showed up at my house with YOU”.WTF WAS SHE DOING IN NY!?! ANYWAY...SMALL WORLD! LMAO!! I was fucking dying yo. What are the chances?? So apparently she took a picture, and in the picture she said that I’m wearing a batting glove!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!! On some mid-90’s Hip-Hop shit! Holy fuck, I was laughing my ass off, foreal. She said she’ll send me the pic, and when she does I may or may not post it up for you guys to see! lol.

Aight, I’m out now foreal.

Have a good week everybody!

Be Easyyyy.

Is This True?

“People who grow rich almost always improve their sex life because more people want to have sex with them. That’s just the way human beings work. Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac. Money did not make me happy. But it definitely improved my sex life.”

TOUCHE

I just woke up from a nap and saw that Will I Am bitch slapped Perez last night. Perez's punk ass was on twitter last night talking about, "Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel." What fucking cops you know check twitter? Like, wtf? This motherfucker is really mentally fucked up. I applaud Will I Am and his entourage for giving this dude a reality check cause he is lameeee.

INNOVATIVE

Alright so I have been working on my clothing label for quite some time now and I think I have finally made a major breakthrough. I don't want to get into too much details for obvious reason but it has been a lot of work trying to keep things on the down low. You know how people are when they see that you are trying to do something constructive--they tend to blur your vision. Well I am not letting anyone blur my vision, I stay with Visine in my pocket, ya dig? Anyway, right now I have a clear vision of what I am trying to do. Now I need to find a seamstress because buying Hanes tees and polos and all that shit and putting my logo on it is not my style. That's whack as hell if you ask me. So I'm gonna keep it a hundred! DONT SELL ME SOME SHIT WITH YOUR LOGO ON IT AND THE INNER TAG SAYS HANES OR SOMETHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER! THAT IS NOT DOPE!! Now I need to step my purchasing power up ASAP because doing it the way I want too is going to cost mad bread. But I gotta do what I gotta do. I am zooted as hell so please excuse the grammar and language-- I am not trying to be all academic like in this post.

I will be starting out with some Polos and Tees and hope to expand from there. The name of the label is set but I will not release that yet. A few of my closest friends know the name but other than that I am on the hush.

Bry just got here so I gotta roll up.

Real quick updates:
Had an interview today: went dumb good.
Got a second interview.
Major breakthrough in the label process.
High as hell.
Signed up for twitter today.
Planning a Toronto trip with the boys.

I got some new posts ready to be put up so I will do that soon.

Be easyy.

Kid-Cudi


Alright so, since I'm on this music tip-- I am gonna go ahead and say that my man Kid Cudi is really crush groovin the hip-hop game right now. He has like an emo, hip-hop vibe, in a very creative yet unique manner. When I first listened too Day N' Night, I wasn't really feeling it at first, however, it really grew on me. His lyrics and beats hit me on all different levels. As I sit back chill, burn an el, and do my thing--Kid Cudi is the soundtrack of my life at this current stage.

Be Easyy..

Believe Nothing

Why do I believe what I believe? Is it more due to what I’ve been taught or what I’ve learned in my life? This is a must know for anyone who really wants to define their own life…but how? I’ve come up with one solution so far…to believe in nothing! And when I say nothing, that includes oneself. I think this process will naturally produce more objective inquiries about everything, thus allowing one to get to the core reason of the belief.

With that said, do you think your life would change for the better or the worse with such a drastic paradigm shift?

A Beautiful Mind

I believe that what is right is totally relative to perspective. The human mind can, will and does justify anything that it wants! There is no absolute right or wrong, a real scary thought for those who have a need to believe in absolutes.

The beautiful part of this way of thinking is that you have complete control of what’s right for you. Anytime that someone attempts to thrust their idea upon me, I always put it through the “how’s does this benefit me” filter. And why shouldn’t I? I know that at any given time, no man is ever beyond doing something that another man thinks is a total waste of time.

The dangerous component of this way of thinking is man himself. Sigmund Freud said, “Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.” The issue I take with this is why does it seem that the “moral” tend to always let the “immoral” control them? Even in this day of having what seems to be infinite access to information, I wonder if it could be something that’s innate which causes this condition to continue?

The reason why I call our innate sensibilities into question is that the intellectuals who are in control will always play on emotions and never to intellect. You know the tactic, tell them what they want to hear but never what they need to hear. It’s so fucking obvious to me! And no matter how much information is revealed, the same patterns continue. Maybe Aristotle was dead on when he said, “It is thus clear that, just as some are by nature free, and others are by nature slaves, and for these latter the condition of slavery is both beneficial and just.”

But hey like I said earlier, “The human mind can, will and does justify anything that it wants!”

Oh you best believe that truth can be identified and articulated amongst the myriad emotions and motivations of a man’s heart - that is a bold and foolhardy statement.

It is said that a respect for the things that you do not understand is the true beginning of wisdom. Therefore - to position wisdom in the eye of the individual opens the door to a realm of floored multiplicity. There are as many opinions as there are voices - but truth has always been and will always be truth. That truth is truth to you is not truth.As for me? The older I get, the more I realize how little I actually do know.

I feel like deep down inside I never can seem to get things remotely correct. I know I am highly intelligent, however, can that work against me? I think that it has in some instances and I am working relatively hard to overcome that. I say relatively because I can't sit here and lie and say I bust my ass at it, but everyday I try to be a little bit better. Do I always succeed? No.

I got a girl who loves me to death, who wants me to do the right thing--always. I will be the first to say that I obviously love this person back, however, it is highly difficult to change overnight. Misunderstood? I think I am--but a lot of that I blame on myself. But I will be alright.

Be easy.

Drake will be announcing his new label of choice in the next week so stay tuned. I am not gonna front, I am hoping that it is G.O.O.D. He needs to get down with Kanye.

How Honest Are You With Yourself?

I look at myself in the mirror every morning.

But, sometimes, I wish I could see myself move and interact with other people just to see what people see. That way, I may be able to better understand the next person's point of view. I don't think any of us wanna be perceived as delusional, but I think we all go through our moments. I like to think I'm able to recognize my faults rather than constantly deny and point fingers, but every now and then, it's good to have friends who pulls no punches and show you the ugly truth. Let's not get it twisted. I don't listen to just anybody. I know who has my best interests at heart, who's malicious, and who's absolutely incapable of reading properly, so I value some opinions and take others with a grain of salt.

As of late, I've been trying to take more responsibility for anything negative I'm involved in. For instance, if someone starts an argument, it may still be my fault. Knowing the person, I should know if what I say has the potential to set them off, so I can either choose to speak or remain quiet accordingly.

I tell people all the time, my biggest flaw is that I embrace my flaws too much. Like, I'm absolutely comfortable the way I am and don't plan on changing for the most part. Chances are if you point out something negative about me, I'll agree with you, but I still go into denial about certain things like everybody else. It's not too bad when you know you're lying to yourself, but when you're oblivious to it, it's just not a good look. I honestly don't think there's a single person out there who is 100 percent honest with themselves. Some are just more than others.
Public perception's just a bitch. Just remember one thing, the next time you aren't being honest with yourself, somebody's most likely seeing right through you.

Fresh Prince: Aunt Vivian Is Outta Pocket With This One.


Remember Aunt Viv from” Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”? The original Aunt Viv? Well Janet Hubert has a new tell-all/memoirs out called Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom where she talks about the un-princely conduct of former co-star Will Smith Here’s an excerpt:

“Smith had people around him who made sure no one outshone him. I was happy to see Don Cheadle become the quality actor that he is, and often wondered how he made it past one episode, as Hilary’s boyfriend, being such a fierce actor. No one could be on ‘The Tonight Show,’ that first season, except Will. And I mean no one.”

Aunt Viv's hatin ass also went on to recall an incident where another actor was cut from a guest spot on the show after being too impressive at an early rehearsal for that episode.

“I recall the lovely and incredibly talented Countess Vaughn coming to guest star. Oh my God! The day of table read, she was pee-in-your-pants funny. The writers were howling, we were howling, so I knew she was history – banished into the cornfield. Many years later, after she had her own show, I had to tell her when she asked me why. ‘Miss Janet why did I get cut from the episode,’ she asked? Simply, my darling, you were too good,” she recollected.

FUCK AUNT VIV!

Sea Salt?

Regardless of how much a white person cooks or how long they have lived in their current home, they all have a tube of sea salt in their pantry. In fact, it’s one of the few foodstuffs that white people will actually bring with them when they fucking move. This is because sea salt is expensive and while white people have money, they didn’t get that way by throwing away $7 packages of salt.

When white people think about regular salt, all they can think about is sodium and poor health. When they think about Sea Salt they think about France. So it’s no surprise that it has become so popular.

But Sea Salt is like Trader Joes, Banksy, or The Shins-entry level to their respective field. Therefore, it is important that you learn about other more expensive salts so that you can complain about not having them. To a white person, this shows that you know and love expensive things but feel sad that you can’t yet afford them.

From here you can fill up an entire evening by making the same complaints about art, real estate or Europe. Black People: This Is Our Destiny! LMFAO

Connecting The Dots

Ok so my mom introduced me to Kahlil Gibran very early in my life. As far back as I can remember, she always had his book, The Prophet, lying around the house.

After reading his book recently, it has become a no brainer for me to post this: “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” Kahlil Gibran.

As I was going through my routine of selecting a picture, my thoughts were flooded with childhood memories of my mom trying her best to get me to read his book.

Clearly it had an affect on me looking back on it now. I really had a good laugh when I realized that I wasn’t being as original as I thought when it came to my idea of how to look in pictures. I’m not sure what it means that his thoughts and image laid dormant in my sub-conscious for all these years, but I know it means something!!!

This is a great example of how much our past can have an impact on our present and why it’s so important that we always question why we do what we do. Fortunately in this case it was something positive and endearing, but it could’ve just as easily been something negative that was the foundation of my thoughts and behavior.

And live out her fantasies, she does. Nicole ‘CoCo’ Austin likes to take her act to the most extreme limits, which is sort of appropriate for the woman better known as CoCo and her banging ass fatty, I mean booty :).

Content vs. Intent

For most of my life, I have always had to defend my process of doing things. I’m a person who thrives in doing things my way and has never set out to do things just like everyone else. Fortunately for me, I never bought into not doing something just because no one else was doing it. I find this is a great way to continually challenge myself to become better at any and everything I do.

I say that to say…don’t get side tracked by focusing on the WHAT of an action. The real power is found in the WHY of an action. So many situations in life could or would be avoided if you were to begin to seek out the true intent of actions instead of merely focusing on the content. Although this perspective may not always be the easiest to grasp, it has the greatest potential of being the most worthwhile.

I Was Flying... Now I'm Crashing.

I'm gonna be honest here:

I am having a hard time figuring this whole life thing out. I mean does an individual make their own life or does life make you. I say that because recently its as if my life is a Rubric's Cube and I can't get all the colors to match up. And don't get me wrong, I am not trying to write a sappy ass, emotional post, but an open and honest one. They say rags to riches--but really...riches to rags, on some real shit. I am trying to stay positive as I figure my life out.

One thing that I know for sure is when striving towards your goals, there is a thin line between being realistic and being straight up delusional. This is when it’s extremely important that you be completely honest with yourself…with not only where you’re going, but where you currently are.

Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of people get so lost in their goals that they miss out on opportunities that could’ve helped them. Don’t allow yourself to get blinded by the brightness and allure of your dreams. Now by all means once you made up your mind of what your going to do, go out and do it…but understand that there are many steps required to get there. And not one step is more important than the other. Until your goal is reached, consider each step as bridge to your destiny.

And PLEASE THINK carefully about your goals! I find nothing more tragic than a goal that’s not well thought out. The one that really bothers me the most is when someone is just trying to live out something seen on TV. This is because I know that the final product of what’s shown on TV is not fairly balanced with reality and illusion…it’s mostly illusion. And if you don’t understand that, it’s a good chance that you will become delusional.

Decide what you want out of life. Then set your goals high. For the world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.

On the real--the greatest mistake you can make is to be afraid of making one. The earlier you make those mistake, and realize them, the better. Don’t be afraid to try. The difference between greatness and mediocrity will be how often you try. No one has ever possessed enough power, prestige, or knowledge to always win. It’s fundamental to life that you’ll win some and you’ll lose some.

Turn your possibilities into reality by simply taking action. I have had to learn this lesson the hard way recently..and as down as I may be at times, I know I gotta keep on clawing my way. This is a message that I think everyone can take something out of..even if you are thinking...wtf is Calvin talking about...chances are you are probably a hater who hasn't realized that we are all human.


Keep it pimpin, pimpin.

Do You Know The Difference?

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. We should never use our right to be angry as justification to be cruel. No matter how bad our heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for our grief. There’s a big difference in OUR world and THE world…do you know the difference???
