And The School Year Begins (Again)

Is it just me, or does time seem to be flying by entirely too quickly? I wish it'd slow down at least just a little bit, I feel like I'm missing way too much around me and I'd rather not forget it all. There's just so many memories I'd like to keep but there's no more room. My mental space is filling up too quickly I think, I should probably just go ahead and stop being so nostalgic and make room for more, but why? I like the ones I have already, why can't I just keep them all? Tough luck I suppose, but enough with the metaphors, we've got bidness to take care of.

 Today marked the first day of the beginning of the school year, and unlike most of the kids my age, I was kind of excited. I laid out my clothes, phoned moms the night before, listened to some hype music... my social life/study habits are about to be on top this year (or at least that's what I keep telling myself). I've only been to two out of my five classes, and everything seems to be okay, but lets not speak too soon, again, it is only day one.

I'm guessing this'd be a good a time as any to humbly apologize for my hiatus, and to offically wave good bye to the summer behind us. It's been real though has it not? Our love affair was wonderful, but school's started baby and Autumn keeps calling my name. Don't worry, I'll be back next year. [End scene]

Now, image dump. And this time: gifs on gifs on gifs.

 

Oh, and peep the first day fit. Say it with me now, 

"swag to the maximum."

Okay, enough's enough. Till next time.

Too Hot, and I'm Not Talking About Myself. Image Dump

*Looks down at weather channel app* Today? High 97. Tomorrow? High 97. Next day? Well I think you're beginning to get the pattern. It's just too hot to walk, too hot to blog, too hot to do anything, and cold, filtered canteen water just isn't cutting it. Not only is the rest of the coming weeks about to be blistering hot, I have a feeling that it's going to be this way for the next three to five months 
(go figure). I'm usually not one to complain about the weather considering that I'm the first one to take my shirt off the moment the temperature reaches anything above 76, but come on, highs way north of 90, people dying on their way to work and no beach located within a 20 minute vicinity? This is just complete foolishness and I don't think I can stand for it any longer.

On a lighter note, we have air conditioning and I've got ample amounts of bad television and foreign novels to keep me company, so no worries. I'm still on the job hunt, and by that I mean I've pretty much lost all hope. In a perfect world I'd be making cash flow blogging or at the very least writing for someone else, but I'm sure we all know how difficult that can be. Damn how hard life is, why must it be that way though?

Well for now I guess that's just the way it is, unless I start making some income, then of course you'll definitely be "in the know" at that point. For now I'll just supply you guys and gals with a quaint selection of my favorite gifs and images, a few of which can be seen gracing the web-space of my TUMBLR page. Oh, and If anyone knows anyone with some job openings, *takes off ray bans, pulls out half empty resume* I'm your man. Till next time

I created a new YOUTUBE channel fully dedicated to my hoodrat antics, so If you're interested, don't be afraid to stop by, I'm sure I'll be able to keep you mildly entertained for another two to three minutes. See you there.

Warby Parker x Vision Spring

As if you couldn't tell from my previous post, I am a ride or die fan for WarbyParker eyewear. Regardless of the fact that I only own one pair (I'm not made out of diamonds) I've been hooked from day one, and it seems as if it's the combination of low price-high quality frames and their wholehearted belief in bettering our communities that keeps me unquestionably captivated by their business model. 
Just recently they partnered up with VisionSpring in order to provide both eyewear and entrepreneurial opportunities for women living in low income countries. Now I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concerned there aren't very many businesses that I can list who's goal is to both make profit AND change the world for the better, and I appreciate that. 
While we're on the topic of Warby Parker, their 2011 collection was released quite recently, and even though I've only owned my frames for just a little under six months, I'm already ready to call it quits and upgrade to a new pair. I'll take two, heavy on the swag please.

Begley

Winston

(All frames seen here are of the unisex variety. Winning)

If you're at all interested in the specifics of the 

Warby Parker x Vision Spring partnership, be sure to check out more information right HERE, and while I've still got your attention, head over to the WP FACEBOOK page and for every 10 likes an extra pair of glasses is donated to the VP cause.

I know I've probably already given out too many links but peep the rest of the 2011 collection right HERE and shout outs to the big homie TrentTrizzy for listening to my opinions and deciding to buy a pair. I think we might of just overdosed on swag.

Finals Week: Image Dump

Monday, today, was probably one of my more stressful days of finals week, so now I've already been beginning to relax a bit, but still, priorities. must. focus. on. priorities. must... lecture notes... powerpoints... Yeah, that's a no. My mind is already on summer mode and I can barely fathom walking into a computer lab, let alone pull an all nighter memorizing list of political subsidies.

In general, I'm just too done with Huntsville. I mean, I love my school, and I really do enjoy being with [some of] the people here, but damn broseph, why do most, if not all of my ride or dies choose to attend universities on the opposite ends of the cosmos? I just don't understand why they choose to be so far away from me. It makes me sad... On a more positive note, this summer shall be an epic one. I'm not even out of school yet and I'm already getting hit up to go do fun stuff with the bros [and the ladies as well]. This rarely happens, I'm excited, and if you're one of the people that I plan on spending my time with, then IT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

  

Also, as you can see, the fro is doing well. I decided to give the whole side part thing a go and so far things are going fairly well. Swag.

Good luck on those finals guys, and if you're done, well then you're already off to a great start.

Relax Relax Relax

Spring break has finally started and honesty, I NEEDED IT. I've been quite uninspired and fed up lately so hopefully this week off can provide me with the much needed revamping that is required to keep my mind and I up and running. In a perfect world I'd be driving over to Austin for SXSW with a pocket full a money and a couple dimes to keep me company, but unfortunately, I am not. Those ticket prices are INSANE, and I have a feeling it'll be quite some time before I'll ever be able to afford that 600 dollar price tag. There is however an adequate alternative. It's seems as if a number of the bands/rappers that I'm into'll be stopping in Houston a few days before the festival, so thankfully I won't be missing out too much. Tomorrow night is Toro y Moi and as you know, if you've been reading lately, I am definitely  a ride or die fan. Speaking of, I think I need to go listen to the album a few more times so I can have all the lyrics memorized [I keeps it real around here]. 

SWAG SWAG IMAGE DUMP.

Japan. I know this really seems like an after thought but....may God bless us all. Be safe and be easy guys.
