This is random but it cracked me up

Mr. Sippy Sippy

First of all, I am not going to defend Kanye for his outburst at the VMA the other night, because he was wrong for ruining the moment for the talented Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech. But really, was this really that bad?! As shocked as I am to see what happened, I am just as shocked to see that people are surprised by his antics. Come on people, this is Kanye West, certify egomaniac and is no stranger for these type of outburst. Remember...the Bush bashing, MTV Europe, AMAs. What I am surprised is that MTV has not apologized to Taylor Swift for allowing this to happen. Why should they apologized? Well it's not the first time MTV has allowed these type of things to happen, not to mention other crazy shenanigans. In my opinion, they should have be alerted when Kanye was seen taking swigs out of a bottle of Hennessy on the red carpet. For a person with a history of stage crashing and random outburst (did I mention he was drunk) I wondered my nobody stopped him on his way to the stage. What was everybody thinking? "Oh there goes Kanye, he's heading to the stage during a middle of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech because he's sure to have something good to say". Let's not forget it happened again during Jay-Z's show closing performance when they let Lil' Mama walk on stage and crash the performance.

With that said, there's no way to spin this to say Kanye was not wrong, he was wrong. It's just funny to see everybody blast him for the incident. The only bad part to this was who he did it to, an innocent up and coming pop star. Remember when he crashed the acceptance speech for Justice and Simian at the MTV Europe Awards when that happened, people did the same judging of Kanye's character but no one felt bad for Justice and Simian? When it happens to a 19 year old pop star, they crucify him as if he just pummeled Rihanna face inside a Lamborghini. Just let it go, get over it. When he goes on his next tour, everybody will still be there. When he drops his next album, everybody will go out and cop. Just let it go.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Fresh

Haven't been blogging for a bit, don't know if I lost the love for it or just I haven't had to deal with much or any bullshit this summer. Whatever it is, I am still here, I am back.

September is here which means summer is finally over and I am actually glad that its past us because for real this was one of the best summer I've had in a while. No bullshit, just fun, out and about having fun with friends.

On another note, darkmatters is hitting crunch time as we're trying to hit all of our deadlines for our debut project. I've been M.I.A. for a minute, but now I am back working on the website, and our brand designs. I need to create some samples to show the crew so we can get moving on promoting our brand and our project. The next two months is going to be huge and very important for us so look out for that.

Anyways got to get back to work, here are some of my favourite shots from my trip our east a few weeks ago. Play safe, deuces!

The good die young

It's been two days now and the news still hasn't sunk in for me. Sure we lost a few musical icons this year, but this was different, AM was different. Musical talents aside, Adam was someone that you root for, having persevered through so much from drug problems to surviving that horrific plane crash. It seems like the angels were on his side, it just wasn't his time to go. It saddens me that this guy may never get the recognition he deserves for his work and his talent, it saddens me that after all that he's gone through he had to go out the way he did, it saddens me that I'll never get the chance to see him spin. RIP DJ AM - "...make the angels dance"

Do ya thang

My favourite joint off Spandex, Rhymes, & Soul now has a video to go with it. "...Sometimes I like to rock neeeeeonnnnn!!!"

Hi have you met Ted?!

For some odd reason a lot of people are surprise to hear that I don't watch this show, or Entourage for that matter. Well I've waited long enough and heard enough about how great these shows are, I am going to add them to my already huge line up of shows. This should be interesting!

The Rock Show Part 2

Went to see Blink with Kyla, Dexter and Teddy the other day. Musically it wasn't the best show I've seen, but the vibe and the memories it brought back more than made up for that. I can't speak for them but for me, being there singing along to every song, laughing at Tom's and Mark's stupid jokes, and admiring Travis Barker's solo, it brought back a lot of memories from my teenage years. It was a really fun night, from the epic ride/transit down to Molson to the stupid so called "afterparties". I am glad Blink is back and playing together, +44 is cool and Angels & Airwaves is bleugh but Blink 182 is Blink 182. It's what's right (Travis, Tom & Mark), their music was the soundtrack to our adolencent years and it represented all those silly memories we all shared.

Blink 182 is back!

UKNOWBIGSEAN

I have to say I am impressed with this video since it's flashy but not overdone. But seriously though I love to hate you, since there's no doubt your a talented cat but you're jocking that BAPE/BBC/Ice Cream shit too hard that you can sometimes come off looking like a joke. Other than that he's good in my books

Everyday, Everything, Everywhere

I don't know how I feel about this album yet since I didn't download all the leak tracks I patiently waited for the whole thing. And the fact that Fabolous isn't known for putting together a good album. Anyway there's been a BTS video floating around for the making of this song, which got me real excited for this song. Ryan Leslie laid the tracks, Keri Hilson filled the hook and Fab came through with the punchlines. Dope song, hopefully the rest of the album is good and it gives me a reason to put up another Keri Hilson picture.

Everyday is my day Imma do it my way everyday
Everything about me, what they love about me everything
Everywhere that I be, feel VIP baby
And everybody's cool, but y'all just ain't me

What Went Wrong?!

For the longest time I had this Blink 182 song in my head, I remember the melody but just don't not the words. The last time I heard this song was in Grade 8. So every now and then this song will pop up in my head to haunt me because I have no idea what it's called. Every since a few weeks ago when we purchased tickets for the Blink 182 show on the 8th (yes! very excited) I've been on a mission to find out what this song was. I literally went through their entire discography, compilations and all, still nothing. Then last night when I was having a conversation with a close friend of mine Teddy (another Blink fanatic) I asked him about the song. I told him how I remember seeing a video of it where Tom is performing by himself on a stage with a red backdrop and I think Mark was dicking around when he was performing. After a few seconds he was like...."was it what went wrong?". A quick youtube seach later...

Mystery Solved

"J"DRAMA

The actors look funny as hell, but hey at least they are jumping from the goddamn three point line and 20 gabillion feet in the air just to dunk the basketball. So in my book this is TOTALLY watchable.

Photoshop fun

It this not the most NSFW commercial ever or what

WOW

After watching this, it kind of made me wonder how many takes did they use for the "money shot". Since I assume they had to shake the shit out of the bottle and then put her mouth on it (LOL) without it spilling. On top that she had hold in all the gas and sprite. Nonetheless this is some legendary commercial, just too bad it got cut.

LET FAVRE PLAY

If there is a guy who I think will play football until he dies, it's Brett Favre. At almost 40 years of age Brett his flirting with the chance to play his 17th season in the NFL. Sure mock him all you want for "retiring" and "un"-retiring, but we all know that wasn't a sincere retirement because it wasn't time for him to leave this sport that he loves. And one more thing, what's this garbage about him being a diva and leaving the Vikings hanging about the possibility of playin for them. I think Brett's performance throughout his career (and his gatrillion NFL records) proves that if he wants to weight his options a little bit then that's what he is going to do, he is NFL royalty. Not to mention the man is 39 and just coming off a shoulder surgery so leave him alone. If he wants to play for you (Minnesoda Vikings) you should be jumping for joy and wait patiently for him to make up his mind. It's not like the quarterbacks you have will get you anywhere anyways.

And how good would it be though for Favre to put on a Viking jersey and play in the same division as his former team The Green Bay Packers. That's two for sure high rated classic games on tap this year (if he plays for them of course). So...I'd say...Let him play.

LET VICK PLAY

Today is the official release date for Michael Vick from his dog fighting sentence. It is still unsure if Roger Goodell will lift his "suspension" from the NFL for his part in the dog fighting ring. For Mike Vick that part of his life is now in the past, it's no longer about the dog. He has served his sentence, paid his due for his wrong doings. Now it's time for him to get back to what he does best, back where he belongs, in a NFL jersey playing football.

Whether you are a Michael Vick supporter or not, you have to pull for this guy. Sure he was wrong, he shouldn't have done what he did, but he admitted to his mistakes and served his sentence. All he need is a chance to prove to everybody, he's changed. In my opinion I think America owes him at least a chance, because they praised him, loved him when he was at his best and they stomped him, left him when he was at his lowest. Through it all he has lost almost everything, his fans, fortune, reputation. But it's nothing he can't get back, can't build back, all he is missing is a chance. I assume now for Mike Vick it's no longer about the fans, the fortune, and his reputation. It's about accepting this new chapter of his life and getting back to playing football.

As for commissioner Roger Goodell, please reinstate Mike and give him a chance to be back in under the lights every Sunday night.

Kitchen Appliance Hypebeast

If you don't think such "person" exists well then you haven't met my mother. It just seems that ever since we moved in to this house 5 or 6 years ago she's been buying and buying a lot of random kitchen appliances. I swear the god we have at least 3 "multi-functional" rice cookers. That's not even it, we have a soup maker, a waffle maker, a "rediculously" non-stick pan, a magic bullet, a big ass (most industrial size) juicer, 2 george foreman grills, 2 blenders, 2 coffee makers and just recently a bread maker. This is just the starting line up, I haven't even looked downstairs in the basement for the retirement players yet. But damn ever since a few weeks ago when I lent my friend our waffle maker I noticed how many random kitchen appliance we have out in the kitchen. Am I crazy of is everybody's house like this. But forreal though they're all like her toys, she brings some new stuff every other week and makes a load of shit with it (depending on what it is of course).

The Open Happiness

This turned out really dope, definitely one of those songs that will bring a smile to your face.
