REFLECTION.just a day in the life...

I was never a morning person...shit I used to LOVE to sleep in, this was back when i was a kid, and ya know kids gotta be told what to do...the only way i would get up on a saturday when i was a youngin is if i smelled some damn waffles er something good cookin...if not i could sleep all day, just listen to music, chill, but then, I grew up and that changed, now I am rarely home, I am up before the sun mos days, and i wish a had a bed time...

I was in class sposed to be paying attention but instead i went on this here site, as i was in class I noticed some dude had on this fly ass hat that looked like the one in the picture right Here:

Sam Flores-Upper Playground is the Ish! I want this hat! its not like ima rock it that much, you can rarely catch me in a fitted but i love it so i want it for my hat collection...

anyway classes keep me busy but in order to stay sane i be drawing all day everyday I just bust out a sketch pad where ever im at and some sharpies and draw...i used to work more with pencils and paint but lately i been on a marker tip there just more quick permanent like a tattoo...anyways (i be rambling) i wake up in the morning to see the sun rise...
Then its either of to school..off to work...or just making some breakfast and working from the casa...after schoolio its either more work or making art...



i just made this one this one is hanging in the home studio (the corner wher i keep a mixer keyboared and mics) fa some inspiration, i miss Ms. Hill!

(ise lyfe ink portrait...)

Usually im stuck wit hours of homework...and im also working on my personal portfolio and eventually a thesis project..





sometimes i get to go

and i get to go to a sho...




oh and you might catch me at a rally (like bambu said) spitt'n game at a pig, and making posters and shit protesting the system you bet...






and one of my favorite things in this whole world to do is...kick it with my god son and now my god daughter--->>
(thats Yassere wit Kwame his uncle--->the fam bam)) and below that Sincere one week old!

When it comes down to it I do it for the kids, either way you cut it-for my god-son and daughter, for the next generation, for j-luisa-andres-malena-aj-nayeli and all this kids i know for the promises i made to myself as a kid, for my future children...everything i do is fa ya...and every day and night i pray yall will be alright...

hahahaha all the Single.... Mascots

still rolling (these are all from Female Sneaker Fiend)

a good look fa Ms Keyshia

"You Complete Me" OFFICIAL Music Video - Keyshia Cole

I always wonder about when artists like Keyshia, or Mary, who come out singing those bitter Love-Hate you-did-me-wrong type joints...and then change em to the i-got-a-man-n-we-gon-be-forever joints...like is this just the progression of their life and where there at or did they just wanna change the message of they songs up...I know these girls be writting as well as singing other peoples words but how much of what they put out there is strategically planned by some exec. to sell mo records?

Town Shit! Make Your Move

You know another reason why i like them boys from Hieroglyphics? you can catch em at a rally spitt'n chants and things...on the real wish i could of seen OYC's own Goapele there too but you know...love this:

GUERILLABUSFARE

...How its going DiZown!

Love this joint...reminds me of east oakland corner stores, b ball at diamond park, go carting and walkey talkeying wit dwane, and drawing and playing in the street wit Jesse, and overalls with on hooked cause that was the cool way to where em, and bubble gum in the pink rolley case...and east coast trips as a kid when you didn't have to pay the airfare....(when he says 35th i stayed on 35th and i thought thats what he meant...loved the vocals and "respect is not expected but its given cause its real".. "we gon always be best of friends, haha, mad love boo till the end, haha..."

Streets on Fire

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets Are On Fire To- Night

Disease the virus is spreading in all directions
No safe zone no cure and no protection
No sense of surviving or signs of an infection
No vaccines remedies and no corrections
Quarantines the dreams and cut off our connections
Don't let em in not a friend not a reflection
Everybody's got it and want you to have it next and
Don't accept em if you wanna stay that's an exception
Appeal
The Heal
The I'll of this
Sickness some are still in doubt of it's existence
Some call it forgiveness and some call it the vengeance
Some say it's an exit and some say it's an entrance
The poor say the rich have the cure
The rich say the poor aren't the source
Revolutionaries say it's psychological war
Invented by the press
Just to have something to propor
Some say the first case came from a maternity war
Some say em all some say the skies some say the floor
Niggas say the nuns, nuns say the niggas
And everybody is sure

The scientists said it only infects the mind
The little boy said it only infects the girls
The Preacher said it's gonna kill off the soul
A bum said it's gonna kill off the world

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets.
Are.
On.
Fire.
To.
Night.

Believe some say the neon signs
Might allow speakers repeatin
And everything is fine
A suttle silence
To demolish the troubled conscious
Of a compass with no knowledge
And every freedom denied
Every dream is designed and broadcasted
From the masters to the masses
From the antennas on top of the trine
As far as the receiving planet during a panic is shorted
It reports back everything in your mind
Everything is lying
Everything is dying
Everything is a rule
And everything is a crime
Everything was healed
And everything rewinds
And new weather burn a feathers off everything's line

Matthew
And she likes it
And she loves it

Lupe
The savage
The madness
The bad shit
The lavish
The fastness
To clashes the ashes
To ashes everything in to twine
My fend fatale my darling fongoling angel
Once caught her changing her batteries in her halo
Receipt for her wings and everything that she paid for
And the address to the factory where they made those

The scientist says she all inside mind
The little boy said "What happened to all the girls? "
The preacher man says she gonna kill off the souls
The dope boy said it's the whole wide world...
