ALL TAN EVERYTHING…

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Post-racialism and the ‘Tanning’ of America is where the media is buzzing right now in regards to racism. The election of Barack Obama to the highest government position in America is proof to some people that we are beyond our nasty little color complex.

Supremacy never takes its foot off the gas pedal tho’ and I don’t accept that even if America got a tan it would respect the skin I’m in. I dropped a few lines on the Steve Stoute blog to give my take on tanning.

Outfit Architecture…

I’ve been patiently accumulating I.T.s from the Ocean Challenge series. This was one of those runs where I was in love with the pieces on first sight. Polo’s nautical programme of late has been ridiculous.

This might be the third straight year with a sailing jacket that was a ‘Must Copp’ on my wish list. This would be the first of those three years that I actually copped the jacket.

I ended up going ham for this series by securing the 5-panel cap and pullover sweater to match. I’m amped to roll this look out at the next Brooklyn Museum of Art 1st Saturday party. Holla at me if you see me in the streets.

Swag doesn’t stop up top tho’. You have to go from head to toe. maybe you think I’m OD’g by rocking the Ocean Challenge cap too. You’re right but its better to go all in than to leave some chips on the table.

I’m not married to these Jordan 2011s with this fit since I do have the Independence Day 5’s on ice back in the lab. I might have to keep digging to find the right shoe to set this ‘fit off properly.

I’ll give folks a heads up now and tell y’all that Marshall’s is starting to unpack their holiday season items. This means a lot of the Polo RL you might have missed at Bloomies and Macy*s will be up for grabs at prices better than most department stores can afford to sell them for.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the Polo holiday deals and you know I’ma keep building these ‘fits.

Bigfoot Lives!

Evidence of the missing link has been found in a remote region in Siberia, Russia. Finally, the industrial development of the planet in its furthest corners has uncovered this magnificent mystery.

I remember watching the Bigfoot ‘In Search Of’ episode when I was a little kid. Even tho’ I lived in the city I was still afraid I would see the creature in my neighborhood. I definitely thought I would see the animal when I went camping. I was scared shitless.

Now I feel sorry for the animal. The planet sux. The economy is fucked the fuck up and television programming is in the terlet. Maybe if they would bring back ‘In Search Of’…

God bless Bigfoot.



#OCCUPYWALLSTREET

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

I still don’t think people are getting the message right from the Occupy Wall Street protests. These kids AREN’T anti-capitalism even if some of their ranks espouse anarchy and or socialism.

The issue is simple… Until we inject some compassion into our capitalism we are going to quickly run out of people to exploit. Unfortunately, that issue doesn’t concern Wall Street bankers.

CitiBank is now requiring depositors to keep a minimum of $1500 in their accounts in order to avoid monthly maintenance fees. If I had $1500 right now I would be drunk and high as fux. I’m about to do my banking from check cashing stores.

commission

Back when I had a gig on XXL’s blog columns I connected with several of the daily readers who used to make sure I kept my shit razor sharp when I stepped in their arena. What is dope as fux is that several of those commenters have shown they have the chops to be informationists themselves.

One of those commenters is Tony Grand$ who displays his deft wit for social commentary and everything under the sun at his own website – Reading And Writing Is For Dumb People. Grand$ asked me if I didn’t mind answering a few questions for the blogsite and you know I had to say yes to the homey.

Good morning Internets. Enjoy this little drop before you head out to your day jobs…
