Maya Angelou said that when she used to go visit her mother she would always make sure to wear something nice. Even if she didn’t have any bread at the time, since this was before she had sold books and the what not.
I try to keep that in mind when visiting my mother in Atlanta. I know that she would like for me to go to church with her or at least out to dinner with her (it was her birthday/new year) so I packed a swag pair of leather lifestyle loafers that I hadn’t popped a tag on yet.
I caught ’em at Marshall’s on clearance a few years back. I knew she would dig that. LOL. I learned from the best.
‘Aspirational Apparel’
Tuesday, March 13th, 2012
The big homey Jesse Thorn (The Sound Of Young America, Bullseye and in general a guy who FUX with me) asked me what I knew about Polo Ralph Lauren collectors. What?!?
The concept behind the ‘Aspirational Apparel’ phrase I have been using is that Polo Ralph Lauren allows me to imagine myself to be gentile, monied, well-traveled and accomplished. This is the MAIN attraction for everyone who wears Polo RL. Everyone. It gives the wearer a level of class sensibility. Growing up in a blue collar community, wearing Polo RL gave you a white collar when you Put This On.

Atlanta what is GOOD?!
I’m back in the basement for ‘dukes birthday and I’m taking a minute to recharge my programme. The game has gotten crazy for me in the last few months. The Internets Celebs movement has fallen off, but Sneaker Fiends Unite! is taking off. I’m still not making any bread, but at least I’m getting free sneakers. That’s gotta count for something?
I’m still overdue to self-publish my story ‘The Transformation’. I’m looking for the passion to finish that project. I just got the idea to read some of the classic drops on these pages to remind myself why I do this thing in the first place. Hopefully I’ll find my original voice in those stories. I’m searching Internets. I’m searching…
In the meantime and in between time I’m gonna try and make the jump from Atlanta to Austin (via San Antonio, what up Jerz?!?) for the South by Southwest goings ons. Looks like its gonna be a supreme clusterfuck in Texas for that festival. The ICs tried to crack that scene for a couple of years, but we couldn’t get any love from the SxSW organizers. Some people just don’t like the way we use the word ‘Internets’.
Here’s the part of the show every 6 months where I remind y’all to click on the PrA’li button over to the right of this page. Your contribution to the PrA’li fund isn’t simply to establish the word PrA’li as the logical replacement for the outdated word ‘probably’, but your donation will help send me to the SxSW festival AND more importantly I will also buy a human genome stem cell incubator so that I can start production of my DP.com blogging clones.
CHEA!

My good friend Dr.Phillgoode loves to bless me with great music when I’m not always feeling too rappy. Here’s a playlist he spun of sample sources and the hits which borrowed from these classic tracks.
Enjoy Internets.
