Brown Hat

I didn't snatch this off his head because I respect my elders. If he were some young whippersnapper, this hat would be in my closet right now.

Sweet Disposition

I met this young lady at the Coachella festival. I noticed her wandering by herself and could not help but admire her simplicity. Most of the women there were half naked, leaving little to the imagination (to their defense, it was hotter than hell). She was very kind and had such a sweet disposition.

Peace be unto you.

I live in an area highly congested with homelessness and panhandling. In all honesty, I am always reluctant to give spare change. Im a struggling college student and I hate giving money away. Especially unexpectedly, no matter how small the sum. I am always skeptical of the homeless men and women and how they will use the funds they raise by asking on the street. To put it plainly, I fear they will use it on drugs. This is not always the case.

Weeks ago I went to get myself a beef bowl and a man was standing in there with a helpless and pitiful look on his face. It broke my heart to look at him. I was compelled. He looked at me and said, "'scuse me sir, can you help me out? i just need some food to bring back to my family at home. Ill take anything. Food will be just fine." I gave him 3 dollars. Thats the highest sum of money I had ever given voluntarily aside from church services. Him specifying that money was not he only thing that could help him is what compelled me.

Weeks later I saw the same man asking a college kid for money and ask me directly afterward. I was highly irritated! I gave him a few bucks and promised myself that was that man's last. The buck stopped there. PUN INTENDED.

The gentleman you see in the photo may very well be no better off than the aforementioned poor man. However, there is a level of dignity, respect, and discipline that separates the two. You see, this man wants to raise funds just like the poor man. But he realizes and respects the rules of trade. He knows better than to expect something for nothing. I would gladly purchase bean pies from this man. Gladly and proudly.

good music

I have great respect for Malice. He is doing what few have the guts to.

Lil' Kim - Black Friday by Hypetrak

Lil' Kim is one of the most unladylike, disgusting and downright trashy female rappers ever. However, in my eyes, she's among the top three female emcees to ever hold a microphone. That is fact. She raps better than most males. This lyrical onslaught is no exception. I do not think I have ever heard a female diss record this potent. EVER.

This looks amazing. It reminds me, somewhat, of the recent film Inception.
