Nike’s Better When You’re Famous

Christina of The Famous Firm is down here in DC working with Nike. They’re promoting the new Lebron 6 as well as conducting a tournament that features the nations top players.

Shouts to Chrissy for getting me and Jacks in VIP style. Even Roy Williams (North Carolina Head Coach) had to wait in line and buy a ticket.

The tournament is all day today and tomorrow so anyone interested in good bball or Nike should definitely attend. Lots of big hoops names in the attendance.

Party Animal

No visual evidence to prove it (didn't feel like taking pics) but I'm now a party animal….certified. Two straight weekends we've shut down a DC party. Saw mad people I haven't seen in years.

Terrence of 106 & Park was in the building. Completely different guy outside of the show. Way less corny.

Good friends+good loud music+beautiful people and "shawty I'm straight".

Anyway, hope everyone out there is enjoying themselves as much. Feel free to hit me if you wanna join the tour next weekend.

Walking Back To The Car

Walking from Howards Yardfest.

Hoping I don't have a $100 ticket like the past 3 years.

I'm extremely cold and extremely dissapointed. The show was great but I bought my 1st fitted cap in over 1 year. For a recovering fitted addict that's no good. Don't know what made me relapse.

What I Saw:
A million girls in spandex. I'm a fan but is there nothing else to wear?…don't question it Phell just be thankful.

Chris Robinson directing Wales new vid. Very nice fellow. Wale was cool too, I had heard different but you know how it goes when you make it from somewhere. Props to Sterling for making the introduction to Chris Robinson via blackberry from Miami.

Ace Hood. Had a lot of fans….

Maino…subpar performance…don't Yung Berg me, just my opinion.

The guy who sings "Professional".

Slim of 112. Best performance of the night. I'm not just saying that because he is Famous Firm and his album "Loves Crazy" which was A&R'd by Sickamore comes out on Nov 18th. That's not why I'm saying it. Classics like "Cupid", "You Already Know", and "So Fly" is why I'm saying it.

Ryan Leslie gets the second best. Live instruments are always a plus.

Wale did his thing. The crowd was hype because the footage will be on MTV+BET.

Others like A.J. Of 106, Bun B, Kid Capri, and Terrence Howard were in attendance, as well as Young Guru and 9th Wonder.

The fact that I could do this recap and still not be at my car is a testament to how far I parked and why I need to get sleep.

Peace

Pillow Poetry

So working out extremely hard+a good dinner+a busy work day+a busier work day ahead of me+the fact that its late+ipod doesn't seem to be enough to make me fall asleep.

I decided to let my alter ego out and do some "free writing". Shout out to Mr.Adams poetry class, Parkdale High School. "Free writing" is when you just let the ink bleed (in this case the Blackberry) and whatever happens happens.

I Call This One-"1:41 To 2 O'clock"

Right Now Its One Forty One
Soon It'll Be One Forty Two
Even Sooner I'll Be Forty Two
Asking Myself "What Did I Do"
What Have I Done
Who Did I Lose
Who Have I Won
Does It Matter At All
I think It Does
It Should At Least
Who You Touch
Isn't Always Who You'll Reach
Who You Love
Isn't Always Who You'll Need
What You Want
Isn't Always What You'll Have
But Still We Grab
Still We Grasp
Ignoring What's Said About The Other Side And Its Grass
Human Nature?
I Guess We Could Say
We're All Players Right?
So I Guess We Should Play
I'm Forty Two Now
Can't Be Playing Games This Late
Plus Its Two Now
I Can't Be Playing Games This Late

Grinders Check-In

Aight so I got this idea while I was driving last night. Recently I’ve found myself on some sort of insane grind where I’m just doing a million things at once. Similar to a running back in football when he just puts his head down and runs with forward progress in mind…regardless of who’s in front of him.

I’ve noticed a lot of the readers of this blog and the people who comment are also on intense grinds (missions) right now. It might be with school, work, relationships, a career, sports, whatever.

The purpose of this post is for everyone who reads it that is on some sort of hustle or grind or mission to Check-in. All you have to do is comment and you’re checked-in. If you want, you can even discuss what it is you are working towards. Like I know Sean is going for that Dodge Challenger.

(I read in the Kanye West book that stating your goals publicly makes you work that much harder towards it because people are going to hold you to it. So I’ll go ahead and state mine in the comment section)

No goal is too big or too little. It could be that you working towards a billion dollars or you just want your first kiss, doesn’t matter.

One year from now, August 26th 2009 we can all look back to this post and see if we achieved the goals, came close, still in progress or maybe even switched them up completely.

If I Could Be Like Mike

Video Courtesy of Sickamore’s Go Old Head blog

This video is amazing because it shows that even at age 45, Mike still has that swagger and aura to him that most will only dream of. I mean look at him just knocking down jumpshots and even dunking like it was his first game. Kobe Bryant is my favorite player, you can ask anyone who knows me but MJ will forever be Dat Dude…hands down…..Oh and he still know’s how to pull them broads.
