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.

It's July

These guys kill me LOL!

"Tectronics"

I am actually watching this episode of BB right now, I just had to pause and post this part up. During the "POV (Power of Veto)" competition where the house guest had to pop the pimples to collect letters and to spell the longest word they possible can. Jeff one of the house guest playing in the competition just admitted he's not much of a "speller" and that he can't even text the right words on his phone for the spell check to come up. Well when the competition was over, this was what he spelled "TECTRONICS". SMFH.

"Mock"busters

Transmorphers

Transmorphers: The Fall of Man

Now you're probably going "WTF", that's the same reaction I had when I stumbled upon those trailers last night. I wanted to laugh, but at the same time I was so puzzled at how these could be movies, legit movies. I honestly didn't believe these were real at all. They are not the funniest things I've seen on before but damn, seriously "Transmorphers". So I did some digging via. Wikipedia and found this.

"The Asylum (the company that made "Transmorphers") is an American film studio and distributor which focuses on producing low-budget, usually direct-to-video productions. The studio is best known for producing titles which appear to capitalize on productions by major studios. These titles have been dubbed "mockbusters" by the press."

So after reading that it wasn't as funny anymore and then I found this I was like "holy crap! look at all the movies they've made"

I am going to start downloading some of these and watch, just for the hell of it. Also for the fact that they're so low budget that they look funny as hell.

Repost: Introducing "darkmatters"

What's up everybody, welcome to our page (don't laugh I know that sounded funny). "darkmatters" is a small toy company founded by yours truly along a few good friends of mine. What we are trying to do with "darkmatters" is to work with different artists within Toronto to promote their art/bring them to life so to speak and to establish us as a Toronto based toy company. What started out as a normal conversation about our summers soon turned into discussions about the possibilities of starting and running our own business. A few months later and after countless hours dedicated to this project I am proud to say we are within arms reach from the starting line and officially dive ourselves into "the toy making business" (I know that sounded funny also). Initially starting out, I had some doubts of making all of this a possibility, because 1) we had no idea what we are doing or should be doing, 2) we needed funding 3) and as the old saying goes "never go into business with your friends". But turns out those obstacles were not as difficult to iron out as we had originally thought and honestly the team that we have (Dexter, Jeremy, Teddy, Jefford + Paddy) there's no other people I would do this with then them. Most of them I know for a very long time now (except for Jefford) and I trust them all, because at the end of the day that's all we can rely on is trusting in each other to make this all work.

With this site as well as our Twitter page, you can see updates from members of the team. We'll try to keep this as up to date as possible. With our first models coming soon, as well as various sketch ideas of upcoming projects, there should be a lot of interesting materials popping up soon. So keep your eyes peeled.

On the first train to Mexico

You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have
Met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put
Pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You could see me breathing
But you still kept
Your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned
Your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

Skip Bayless rips LeBron a new one

I didn't want to do this but...

I was just around browsing through my links when I noticed someone had left me a comment my previous post. I am always happy to receive comments and feedback from people. Then when I open the link, it turned out to be (pardon the language) some pussy ass fucktard who has so much time to leech on my site and call me names.

Now if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. Even if you still choose to say it, please leave a name so I can holler at you. Don't pull some pussy move by calling me a fucking herb and leave your name out. Also if you're reading this, I hope to direct your attention to the little hit counter at the bottom left hand corner of the page. In case you don't know what that is, it's a stat counter that tracks the traffic going through my page. There's a log there with date and time, listings with IP addresses where I can find out who and where you are.

So please, leave me more comments. Leave a name for me this time too, but then again I don't need your name to figure out who you are.


PS. I know who you are!

The commercial gets me everytime

WOW

A close friend of me has been telling me to start making mixtape for her, since she is kind of lost in terms of music. Since taking her to a club for my birthday last year, she told me she had no idea what half of the songs playing were. So yeah a year later I finally remember my promise of making "the mixtape".

The whole process of putting a mixtape together is a lot tougher than I had originally thought. From gathering songs, to trimming down the list and putting the tracks in an order that would make sense. Long story short, this took a while to finish.

After hours of listening and going through different themes and genres. I decided to make this first one solely based on "Remixes". The name "Not The Remix...Baby" came from well...Lil' Wayne because whenever he jumps on a remix he'll go "It's the remix baby" like we don't know it's the remix. As for the song selection, I tried to keep it fresh by keeping the remixes that are featured as CD singles, B-sides, or bonus tracks. So it's not the remixes that you would hear on the radio everyday thus adding the title of "Not The Remix". Also I made sure it's an absolute remix not just the same beat with dozens of features (with the exception of the first track). As for the order of the track list, this was the most difficult step because I wanted this to flow well and not just jump from track from track. When you listen to it, you'll notice it starts strong with a party anthem type of song then it gradually slows down for a few slower tempo songs then it picks back up again for a strong finish. Finally for the artwork, I had no idea what to do with it and it frustrated me a bit because it was the only thing in the way of me finishing and uploading this whole thing. As you can see I played around with a picture of Santogold (now Santigold), I love her music and it's evident as she's featured on three tracks.

Anyways this is now done, I already listened to this like a gabillion times during the whole process. So give it a listen, I tried to make it for everybody to enjoy so...enjoy it. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks

Gucci fever

I think I caught the Gucci Mane fever. I never understood why people like him so much, although I can say that I am impressed after listening to a few tracks but still I didn't quite understand why he's so popular. I guess it's just the way he makes it work, his style, his whatever just works for him. But whatever the case I think I caught the Gucci Mane fever. I guess you can say I am a fan.

I am sad that I didn't my camera with me to document the cool events that went on this weekend. First of all I would like to thank all my friends that came out to the dinner, it was awesome. I've never had a BIG celebration before and having all of you guys there made me feel special, so I would like to thank all of you for that. Another thanks goes out to the "mastermind" Ms. Melanie Wu for trying her hardest to keep everything underwraps and planning the whole thing. Although she did slip up almost at the last minute but it's all good. She got me back by stealing my house key and decorated my door with brithday decor, leaving me dumbfounded and a heartbeat or two from a heart attack. From the bottom of my heart thank you guys so much for making my night so special. I am a happy 21 year old now!

R.I.P. Air McNair

I was skimming through my Tweetdeck when I came across a tweet from Kevin Durant that read "RIP Steve McNair". I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me as I literally rubbed my eyes to make sure I read it right. Then I proceed to check ESPN to confirm it, former NFL quarterback dead at 36.

Although the details surrounding his death is still being pieced together. Whatever happened the truth will come out. Aside from that, I am sure all NFL fans would agree with me that this was one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. To me I will always remember him for his toughness of the field, his athleticism, his will, his drive and that he was inches away from winning a Super Bowl. He gave everything he had and more during his 13 year career. Words cannot express the amount of respect I have for him and the sadness I feel now that we lost another great one. RIP number 9.
