First off pics kinda suck, well really suck they're from my SK LX, I'll put up the best of the worst video I got in there tommorows.
I'm mad that lupe went first, when I first got here I saw some dude in
red and for a second I thought it was yay tita, and then I was like "why
would he be performing now when he's headlining?" but I heard 'Little
weapon" and I was like LUPE! It was kinda short and the weather was at
it's worst for reals, the rain was coming down and blowing into the
amphitheater at an angle and shit, but Lupe blazed right through his set
and he ran out into the crowd during Kick Push and I don't mean into the
standing area, that dude ran allll the way back to the cheap seats...
During the intermission I was tryna get my homeboy who had better seats
in the 101 section to pass back a ticket from another friend of mines,
but he was actin' like a biznitch.I went up to this one chick who was
like guarding the section to the 100's and I was like " if I shot you
$20, would you let me through?" and I knew shed be down with it cause of
all the other people checking tickets, she looked the most
corruptable... So said so done, she was like "of course but you wouldn't
get far, once it filled up you be bouncing from seat to seat and you'd
be right back here!"But the bullshit is I ordered my ticket back in like
March and my dumb ass was thinkin it wa sold out already and when I kept
searching ticketmaster all it gave me was 202 section tickets. So I was
kinda in the nosebleeds but that didn't stop my enjoyment whatsoever.
N*E*R*D was off the yazabah... Chilly Willy aka Pharrell was there in
all his splendor, and even though the new shit was more DC ish, with the
more Go-Go sounds as in live instruments and shit, it was jammin'!
During the sound check I heard some of the bass hits for "Beeper" a song
by Fam-Lay, so I wasn't really suprised when he came out and did his
thing. What did suprise me though was how Fam forgot the second verse
and most of the first though, I mean dude was on stage just bobbin' his
head like it wasn't his song and shit, but Pharrell kinda tried to
intervene by putting extra Umph in the chorus. Chris Brown came out for
"everyone nose" and was dancing and shit with Pharrell. The crazy shit
was when they played "she wants to move" he brought these chicks from
the front row on stage and had them dancing and shit, and one girl as
soon as she got up there IMMEDIATELY started grinding on Pharrell, and
this other chick pushed her off him and took her place.. Too funny!
After N*E*R*D the intermission until Rhianna came out I kinda was like I
don't wanna see this girl, she better do "Umbrella" and beat it you
know, I even texted my boy that and he was like she's gonna put it down
just watch. She came out and did some of her old shit like "pon de
replay" and she was even singing "doo wop (that thing) but what really
killed me was M.I.A.'s song "paper planes" the one that goes " I just
wanna bang bang bang bang and take ya money" I'm fuckin with that song a
lot. And as far as like visuals she had these dancers with these like
lightsaber glow sticks dancing and she was windin' her waist, and
gettin' down, baby girl can move for reals. She ended with her biggest
hit "umbrella" and it was crazy because there was a tornado warning and
it was raining and windy earlier so a lot of people had umbrellas and a
shit ton of them went up for this song. I honestly didn't even really
care for the song when it was big but I guess because of the atmosphere
I'm kinda feeling it now.
Hella people are jockin on my glow in the dark dunks... and by hella I
mean like 5 people and they were like"OMG those glow in the dark!" and "
excuse me do those really light up?" "you're shoes are hot" "look girl"
hahaha I wish they held more of a glow charge, cause like say if I was
in a super bright room and then went out into total darkness I'd be
glowin like a mutha fucka, so now while I'm waitin for Yay to come out
I'm lettin' em charge...
Oh yeah while I was waitin' for them to charge and surfin on my kick,
some girl behind me was like "there's a spider on you!" and I'm
arachnaphobic like a muhfucka so I nutted up real fast, and threw the
spider on some dude. And this chick next to me is pretty cool, she's got
on a "In living color" outfit with leopard pants on but she's cute and
she's got a sidekick 3, so I'm stylin on her with my LX.
Then it happened, the lights went out and all you see is a screen with
stars like a nose camera on the Enterprise, and Kanye's talkin about
traveling on a journey for a long time and then he crashed onto planet earth and his spaceship "Jane" couldn't get power... I mean the stage was just him on like a laptop with no keys and behind the laptop screen, there was this huge panoramic screen. No background dancers, no hype men, just Yay, the stage and the music. Throughout his whole set he worked his songs into a storyline of such with each song having a place. Like when he crash-landed to earth, his spaceship "Jane" told him "this isn't your first crash and he went into "through the wire" and when he was like I've been traveling so long, I need some Pussy! The computer was like I could help you out with that and the background had a chick in gold with a body like amazing grace dancing and whatnot. I've been to a few concerts (MSI, Lloyd Banks, Korn) and this was by far the best music experience I've ever been to, Kanye is a fucking entertainer. My only regret was riding with the same guy who ruined my Thursday night by dawdling playing pool when he knew damn well the line was gonna be stupid long. Once again, he is to blame. People can tell when a concert is coming to a close, so around that time he txted me "were gonna dip out as soon as this is over" So Kanye's on stage and the lights are off but I know there's gonna be an encore. So at that time he txts me a again, "I'm leaving now" so I'm like damn! So as I turn to leave he does "touch the sky", Lupe comes out, and I'm walking away like FUCK!
So I make a wrong turn and BAM I'm like a stones throw from the stage, and I'm expecting security to "escort" me out but no, I'm in there. So I'm like 12 feet away from the stage and Yay's talking about how "there would've been more props and a robot was supposed to come down from the ceiling, but cause of the tornado watch it was a no go.
I almost forgot I stopped on the way to the concert at a Dollar tree to buy some batteries; I had a choice of Michael Jordan batteries (Rayovac) or Panasonics. So I went with Panasonic, so while I was close as hell to the stage I pulled out my camera and started to take some pictures when that shit died on me. I had taken like 30+ minutes of shaky, Blair witch style video with the Energizers that were in my camera for a hella long time, and I take about three pictures and these bitches die on me... I've got a big fuck you to Panasonic and I'm adding them with KFC of my list of things to boycott.
So I run back as my boy is blowing up my already dying Sidekick and I get this book called "Thank you and you're welcome" It's like a small spiral book of Personal mantras by Kanye West. My favorite one so far is "Believe in your flyness to conquer your shyness" How true.
I get back home and my boy who's not just a Pharrell fan, he's a fanatic called me. I cussed him out for not being there and he asked to speak to my roommate. Now from my room I hear my roommate like "Why didn't I go? I read bad reviews on the internet!" What a fucking tool, is what I really wanted to say.

Glow in the Dark Tour!!!

Stop start animation
My homegirl "Jen Bear" and her friend who looks like Mallory from Natural Born Killers made a youtube video and I was just gonna tell her I saw it and be like "Yeah it was hot!" cause everyone knows making youtube videos went out with Soulja Boy right? So since I've got loads of free time on my hands during the work day, I actually checked it out and and it's pretty cool. One cause I didn't even know her or Kat was that creative and two cause it's pretty cool I think. I mean if "Dramatic Chipmunk" gets a billion views why can't this... So check it out and see for your self..
Thrashin'


After saying my Buellers were my last pick up for awhile, I see these. Now I've been on my Dunk SB thing for quite some time now and have not really been paying attention to Dunks, as they aren't exclusive and the colors really don't grab my attention. But these are freakin sweet I have to say... I shall own these... I never caught the movie thought But I guess it might see a resurgence in popularity due to hypebeasts and sneakerheads alike. On a kinda related note, I did see Rad when I was in like.... 4th grade but I didn't see the end of it because I got in trouble for doing something, and lost my movie watching privaleges. I believe it's Rad that started my infatuation with BMXing...
UPDATE @ 16:37
I just called Sole Brother and asked about the Thrashins and they do drop tommoorw, but I'm torn between the Dunks which I love and these Reebok's which I think are super fetch... Most likely I'll choose the dunks, but I kinda wanted to chill out on buying shoes and stuff because I mean when is enough ever gonna be enough... When...
Lackluster Friday
Have you ever been chillin with someone and there is like a point were you're like I'm not fuckin with this person at all.. And you keep it cool with the person and shit, laugh and joke with 'em, but in your head your like fuck this person or whatever. That's what's going on right now... I'm with this chick and tryna forget about the Jazzy girl but I'm like it's 1:25 and I'm here with her and her two pothead loser friends and I'm like what am I really doing here? I mean I'm better than this.. If a chick is a reflection of me, then I don't wanna look in the mirror at all. Tonight we went and saw "What happens in Vegas" which is two thumbs down all the way. and ended up chillin with her girls in her room.
I came to this conclusion when she came at me sideways about pickin' some dude up. So she could smoke a L and we could just chill together. So normally I wouldn't have a problem with that but how she went about it really kinda had me hot. I remember sayin' something about a scary answer she told me, and never was that answer more apparant than tonight.
I'm gonna say fuck it man I wanna get with the Jazzy girl, fuck this chick here. But the ball is in her court now I refuse to make a fool out of myself as much as I'd like to talk to her. The best thing about the night was that her girl had some De La Soul dunks and they look even sicker in person. I mean she knew what they were and all about dunks and shit. I was suprised, very suprised.

Well, well, well
A couple things happened today... For one I ran a mile and a half in a 10:20... now that doesn't make me a Michael Johnson or anything but when my only exercise is grinding on girls and two steppin' in clubs twice a week, that's pretty damn good you know. What really grinds my gears though is that there was a time when I was in the gym extra serious and the results were hella visible. I felt better, my hair was glossier and had body and bounce even without the milk and honey and most importantly... I was wicked inna bed... and it was around that time I met "Ashley" down in Jacksonville, and I mos def wrote about her before, because I was really in like with this girl and I still am. But she's down there and I'm up here so yeah...
I was in my room playing GTA and I heard my ring tone go off and I said to myself "There's only one person I really want this to be from!" meaning the Jazzy girl of course, but I look on my Sidekick and it's from Ashley... "I was just thinking of you and I miss you buddy and hope all is well with you"
Now this shit fucks my shit all up, I didn't even know what to say to that honestly. What do I say? So I was like I miss your random ass too, I hope things are goin your way and how is she liking her Sidekick cause I remember her sayin' she had one... Then she really hits me with a curve, she says "I love it I dnt knw how to change my call back though........I miss you sooo much" I had to physically restrain myself from sending her a duck ass text message that I'd regret later or maybe even as soon as I sent it.
So after that Cinco de Mayo fiasco with the Jazzy girl, I was ready to resign to the fact that she had stopped fucking with me, cause I've stopped talking to many a girl and I know how it goes... I texted her yesterday and called today and that's all I can do. I haven't left a message for a girl since '06 and she's not gonna make me start doing it. So that being said she txts me sayin...
“Hey, i saw us calls. jus had surgery yestrday & dnt realy feel like talkn so ill ttyl"
I can't even stunt it was good to know she wasn't just straight iggn me, So for now I'll just sit in her waiting room and wonder when it's gonna be my turn...
Oh yeah I also saw that “2 Girls 1 Cup” video, yeah I’m hella late right but I can’t see how people were throwing up to it… I mean I saw it and it didn’t arouse me or anything but, it did make me laugh... so what does that say about me as a person... Am I that jaded by stuff I’ve seen and done where I laugh at girl eating feces. But I know I’m the last person to see it but, for y’all that haven’t seen it, It starts with two girls kissing and then just goes downhill reeeaal fast from there. So check it out, it’s good for a good laugh or a lost lunch and is Hot Fish Grease?
Cinco de Mayo wrap up
Grand Theft Auto really is monopolizing my free time like a son of a bitch... but the more I play it the more awesomer it gets... but this happened on Cinco de Mayo and I could've post dated it or whatever but it took a minute to get it down. I glossed over the "keepin' it real goes wrong moment" because I really don't feel I made the right choice, I "kept it real" and people I talked to about it said I made the best choice but it just doesn't feel that way.
I'm just getting back from chilling with the Jazzy girl, and I don't know what to think about it at all. I mean it didn't go at all as planned as far as what I had in mind... I just wanted to eat a quesadilla and drink a margarita you know cause it's Cinco de Mayo.. But when I invited her to come out with me, I had like a sit down restaurant in mind you know a real chill affair for the second date, but the place was jumpin' cause of the holiday.
So we go in there and get our drinks and sit at the bar... and we're talkin and the convo is goin real good and all of a sudden a "when keepin' it real goes wrong" moment happens...
But from that moment on things go real smooth the convo flows real good. So I walked her to her car and hugged or whatnot and said our goodbyes. Until I believe I fumbled after that but I'm not even gonna speak on that too much. So yeah....I'm gonna hopefully catch up with her later in the week and see what unfolds...

I might save a life...
I got this email yesterday afternoon and I'm nervous as hell, I mean I want to donate my marrow but when I hear stuff like " It's like having a child for a man!" how am I supposed to feel about that? But if you didn't know bone marrow transplants saves lives of millions of people and over 250,000 have been performed succesfully. The first step is a mouth swab which they use to match your DNA to patients in need. If they find there is a match they will contact you for a blood sample. Then if that matches and you are clean then comes a scheduled physical and then the actual donation... So if you reading this register to donate at Marrow.org It takes almost no time and who knows you might help somebody out... Like me hopefully this will erase some of the horrible things I've done, and if it can't erase them, just make them seem less bad in comparison.
Good Afternoon Mr. D,
My name is Robyn Diehl and I am from the Dept. of Defense Marrow Donor Program and I am contacting you concerning the blood work you had drawn on 3/27/2008. The results show that you are the best possible match for a recipient in desperate need of a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. I can be reached by email or at my office. My phone number is 1-800-627-7693 ext 226. Please call or email me and let me know when we can talk so that I can send you an information packet. Please call me as soon as possible even if you are unavailable or not interested so that we can begin your donation process or find another donor.
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon,
Robyn Diehl
