I was reminiscing(with High @ The Vip Room) how much I LOVED cartoons as a shorty. So he showed me this cartoon overload and it brought back memories of a shorty instantly. Damn what I would give for the days back! I guess I'll keep wishing for them cause theey will neeeeeeeeeeeever happen.



P.S... I know some of us weren't even born for some of these but don't get me wrong they were classics. In adition, cartoons will never be the same.. Tear Tear.. LOL!

Kraftwerk - Computer Love




You are wondering why I posted this song. Well, last night I played a song to my homie Mr. Bunny aka Assad by Theophilus London called C.P.U and I was telling him how I liked how he sampled Coldplay. He looks at me and Say's
"That is not Coldplay its Kraftwerks"
so me being a music addict I came home and Youtubed Kraftwerks to search this madness out. I came across Computer Love. In other words Mr. Bunny was right and I even like the original(gotta respect the original). That's the story behind this. I Thought, fuck it I'll share my new wrinkle in my brain to the masses. LOL!!!!!

A 1,474 megapixel image of Obama’s Inauguration



I came across this at OnSmash and its ridiculous how far technology has come(1,474 mega pixels). What ever happen to the 20 mega pixels cameras, LOL. They straight jumped to the thousands. So I'm here to show you all this dope picture from the Inauguration.

A dude named David Bergman used a device known as a gigapan imager to take 220 pictures of Obama's Inauguration which link together to form an incredibly large and detailed picture. He has put it up onto his website to allow everyone to zoom in and look around the crowd and the surroundings. Go and take a look, the detail you get when you zoom in and the distance you can see is remarkable, see the face of anyone in the crowd. People on engadget have found P.Diddy, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Aretha Franklin and some snipers in the windows.

Art Adventures: Sylvia Ji




I've been looking around for some new art to put on me(tattoo) and I happen to come across Sylvia Ji on you tube and her art. As soon as I saw this video I fell in Love with her art and the women she draws. With that said, I'm doing some research and I am getting one of her pieces done on my forearm by my boy David at Marked 4 Life. I am ready for some pain(yes I am a MASOCHIST)!

Having My Cake.. And Eating It To..

For some that don't know I was given a camera for my birthday in October by a beautiful girl. It was the greatest thing I ever got from her for the time I was dealing her(since she was bullshit liar). So thanks to her I've been getting my photog on. I'll post pics later so you can see, but meanwhile enjoy these I found recently and just so happen to go GREAT with the title for this blog entry.













PS. I don't own the D700, I own the Baby D40. As soon as I learn more I'm trading in the Baby D40 and getting the D90.

Novel - Mad World



Novel came out with a new song titled "Mad World" and decided to do this song. He explains....

So I saw the footage on Oscar Grant like the rest of the world and was sadden and shocked by the tragic event that occurred.

If you don't know, Oscar Grant was a unarmed young black male shot in the back by an Oakland Police officer. This song is dedicated to him and his family and anyone who lost someone. This is my take on Gary Jules “Mad World”. I hope this doesn’t offend anyone in anyway for that is not my intention.




Novel - Mad World


BONUS: Here is the video of what went down New Years Days in Oakland, CA. It happened on the platform of the train station. It's disturbing video so please watch at your won risk.
