Outfit Remade

(check for closer up of the OUTRAGEOUS prices: link)

Sooooo I was inspired by Rihanna's outfit and decided to make somethin like it but a lil more affordable. Although one might have to splurge on those bomb glasses (which i blogged abt b4 she was seen with them on! how cool am i????)! I'm no stylist, but i like to perpetrate lol. Look and see what I came up wit! Tell me if u like it and if I should do it again sometime! And send me a link if u have an outfit that u want me to try and redo!!! This was fun :)

Jackson

Oooohhh these fabulous friends of mine!

Check this phat poem the homie wrote on the death of MJ...

Perfect way to wrap up his saga and not b regular wit clips n pics from the memorial. Stone cold pure DOPENESS =)

~~~~

more than a jack, son
this jackson packed king's actions
into the shell of a black son
he was a black sun shining
feared until nova, then revered like 
paul bearing news of British
and i'm skittish, lettin this piece be my slice of paulbearing
but i gotta say what needs to be said
crazy how folks switch up on ya like lights on
when life's gone
went from "Wacko-Jacko"
to america's lost son, with a flatline
an i know some of ya'll looking like
"i can't believe he just freed that line"
but i can't believe some of ya'll is really mourning this time
what? ya'll finally seen the light like morning for the first time
if i learned one thing
it's they only love you when you leave em'
never paid him no mind alive but he dips the atmosphere
an now ya soul is bleeding?
so sold out to the hype of the media
so hold out ya rights an pump ya fists if you belive it huh?
i just can't perceive how i myself can grieve fro a man i never knew
the best i can do is celebrate his life
because that's all he had to give
never asked to be America's Next Top Martyr
just wanted to provide for his kids
make a tune or two, just so happened his notes moved mountain
showed men the paths to peaks, then helped them mount em
no, my eyes be no fountain
i only leak through this pen, you'll never hear these tears
just wordcount them
this is recognition of a fallen legend
who had no knowledge of edges, just took flight at ledge's end
i can only hope to continue what he began
take the world by the hand
and carry on as planned, to a better tomorrow
with a smile, 
because it was never my style to watch a sun set in sorrow

The Ledge Experience

"The Ledge brings an exhilarating new experience to the tower. Opened in 1974, the Skydeck (on the top floor of the Sears Tower) attracts more than 1.3 M visitors annually who enjoy views of up to 50 miles and four states. Now, The Ledge dares visitors to attempt a new Chicago experience: stand on The Ledge and feel the city from 103 floors over Wacker Drive and the Chicago River. 

The inspiration for The Ledge came from hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind on Skydeck windows every week. From the memorable scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to curious children going right up to the window, visitors are constantly trying to catch a glimpse below. Now they have a unique and unobstructed view of the city. 

An unmatched view is not all the Skydeck offers. From the moment visitors arrive they enjoy interactive and educational attractions that highlight the iconic building and celebrate Chicago’s sports, architecture, pop-culture, history, food, music and people." 

My thoughts: THIS ISH IS CRAZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

A dancer respecting dancers

Nothin to say...hope u enjoyed their craft becuz these guys r special...very much so <143>

LMAO

Wouldnt this b hilarious?

Thanks Rhea =) <143>

Just a sec to get into my head

Thoughts of the day...

Make sure to cherish the family and friends that you have....two of my uncles passed already this year, and one is in the hospital very ill wit cancer

Believe in yourself because when left out alone you're all you've got...sometimes you won't always have the support of friends and family to get you through. i must learn how to rely on myself and take a step away from mommy

Dont be afraid to step towards your dreams...dance like no one is watchin (my fave quote)

LOVE YOURSELF <3

Workin on My Cool

Yo....so I kno this kid right, and he's pretty cOOL. Well actually he's UNMIS@KABLY CooL. He's sorta takin ova the scene right now and I figured yall need 2 kno abt him ASAP (so I can seem cool for puttin yall on b4 he blows up forreal forreal lol). Sooo this cat's name is Fred. A Chicago native, and an Alabama resider, this fellow is hungry and is eating the whole streetwear culture for dinner. His goals of owning the first streetwear boutique in AL was halted when Kreativ.Sole (click here), a streetwear boutique in Huntsville, came on the scene. BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE... not scared of a lil competition this clever cat took up an internship there and is learnin, growing, and maturing into a young boutiquer (lol made that up....Imani's definition of "boutiquer": one who knows abt boutiques. one who knows how to run a boutique and prosper from it. Imma holla at Webster bout that one!)

Anywhoser, while learning about boutiquing (made that up too lol. verb form in this piece), Fred is still continuing and developing his baby, HIS BLOG!!!!! You can catch this fellow at http://www.unmistakablycool.com/ where he is keepin u up on "all things fly." From music, to fashion, to sports, to EVERYTHING COOL =) As he says, his blog is "GOING CRAZY!!!" 

BUT WAIT....THERE'S MOOOOORRE...this man is not only a cool kid, boutiquer, AND blogger...but he is also aaaaaaaaa DUN DUN NA NA DESIGNER!!!!!! Yes, Unmist@kably Cool is a brand. Formaly, @Last!, Unmist@kably Cool has had a couple t-shirt drops in the past but more are soon to come I'm sure.

I used to have an in with this cat, but now I just gaze at his success from a far... and who woulda thunk he coulda achieved all this success in less than a year?! What a go-getter and inspiration for all these ppl out here wit dreams! This man is studyin a craft and makin his own in an overcrowded world of ppl tryin 2 b "dope." But trust me, he doesnt need to try, he's already certified cOOL =)

I've done my cool deed for the day, and have opened you all up to a new world of dopeness! If u will, indulge wit me and check this kid out cuz he's makin big moves and you might wanna join him for the ride! Oh and he's on that Twitter ish too soooo follow him http://twitter.com/FredTheCooL

Here is a pic of his 1st T-shirt drop commemorating Obama's inaguration:

(Fred: I kno u said u dont need this but I've been indulging sooo why shouldn't others? Thanks for the pub earlier. You r movin on to bigger n better things =) Best of Luck! Ohhh and check it...u inspired me to blog and I'm on my way 2 ur status, 12 FOLLOWERS =) Now that's unmist@kably cool!!!!!!!!)

THAT-BEN-FORD SOUND

My family is full of musicians! Trust and believe me! Not even lying to u! And i got witnesses :-P But the main person I think who needs to get on right now is my cousin...his music is AMAZING. Every time someone hears his music for the first time, they are amazed because he is too talented of a musician to not be on right now. All he needs is a big break, and I'm on a mission to get that for him!

He plays every instrument that he can get his hands on, a feat acquired from being a the son of a music teacher. Wish I had more of a bio for him buuuuut I really dont right now. I'll add more to this post later though, or make new posts when new things about him pop up.

The purpose of the this post though is to let you all kno abt a deal he has goin on right now:

If you invest in the studio you get TWO free tracks, an hour of studio time, and a mixed down version of what ever you record. (minimum donation of $125). 

I mean, personally, that sounds like a GREAT deal. Ben uses state of the art equipment and creates a state of the art sound...THAT BEN FORD SOUND. Check out his myspace http://www.myspace.com/thatbenfordsound or friend him of facebook, Ben Ford. Or ask me about ANYTHING and I can get u in contact wit him because I do some work with him as well!

(And once I figure out how to put music up on this thing, i will lol. Until then, hit his myspace!)

<143>

Hittin DC and Rockin Some Bells

Soooo I kinda wanna move around this summer and make some trips. Hopefully i'll get to ATL or some city and haven't been to yet this summer. But until then I'm hittin up DC (insert cool nickname for the city here lol).

I'll b doin to DC to attend the ROCK THE BELLS concert on July 12th, since I have to help my cousin with our big annual Juneteenth  (if u dont kno what that is PLZ look it up. Blk history for that behind!) BBQ on the 27th, which is the date of the Chicago show. Anyway, I figured the concert would be a good reason for me to have a mini vacation, visit a friend, get some good eats, go site seeing, hit some stores, hear some good music, take some AMAZIN pics and b closer to the 1st family =).

If you don't know about the Rock the Bells concert, you need to get on. I JUST got on and now it looks like somethin imma b tryin 2 catch every year since it's annual! The artist that caught my eye this time around was DAMIEN MARLEY! OMG if u sleep on him WAKE UP NOW!!!! His last cd, "Welcome to Jamrock", made me AND my mama's life lol. I will not go on and on abt this man, but imma put up a couple vids wit this post so plz check him out! Check the performers comin to this thing though....CRAZINESS

While there though I'm hittin up Commonwealth, Stussy, Up Against the Wall and I'm sure other places! Any ideas????? Help a sista out! <143>

Check the vids:

FML

Just a couple FML off the website...If you've never seen it PLZ click here lol. It will make your day a LOT better if your inna FML mood!

Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML

Today, I told my dad I was going to Walgreens and asked if he needed anything. He needed condoms, and that I should call him when I get there so he can explain the kind he likes. FML

Today, a car floated slowly into my lane from the left with no signal. She gazed at the right turn like it was going to kiss her. "What the FUCK, lady?" I shouted, slamming on my brakes. Two seconds later I hear a tiny voice in my back seat, "What fut, YADY?!" My 22 month old son's first full sentence. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she was pregnant. We haven't had sex yet. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I came home from work late (2:30am). As I snuck carefully into bed and laid down next to my sleeping future wife, my fiancee half awake said "No, no... Dan will be home soon." I am Dan. FML

Today, I checked my bank account that i've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Lol...imma stop cuz I'll be copying and pasting ALL day. PLZ go to the website lol. One of the greatest inventions ever created! <143>
