DRAKE, LIL' WAYNE AND EMINEM - DROP THE WORLD/FOREVER (UNCENSORED)

Now this is what I'm talking about!!!

AMBER ROSE: AMERICAN REBEL

American RebeL- Persona Magazine Vol 1. from PERSONA MAGAZINE on Vimeo.

This video by Persona Magazine is comprised of behind-the-scenes footage from Persona’s photo shoot with Amber Rose that retells the story from the film, “This is England”. The film centers on a group of London Skinheads hanging in England during the 1960s. It was a time when this particular subculture didn’t bother with politics and race but more fixated themselves on the unisex fashion, music, and lifestyle-alternate to the popular Mod trend. Deviating from the norm and portraying this rebellious attitude, the Skinheads represented a time of change much like the shaven-headed beauty, Amber Rose.

A Message From Odysseus

Earthlings, how is the view from down there? LOL. I kid. I'm back with your weekly message. I had actually forgot about this today but Losi reminded me. I really have nothing MAJOR to talk about today but I'm going to keep typing until something comes up. As expected, I'm nursing a hangover, so I cracked open a beer to kill the buzz. I don't set a very good example, I know. I hope my mother doesn't read this. SMH.

Ok, Im back. I actually wrote the above paragraph last night. I'm at the office typing this. Tired as hell, hungover as hell but work is work. I went to a South African wine bar last night. Great place, I like its vibe. If you're in NYC I suggest you check it out on Sundays. It's called 'Xai Xai'. It's on 51st street and 9th avenue.

I apologize if I'm not coherent, I'm tired as a muh fucka and my day just started. It's also the first of the month which means rent and other bills are due. Your boy has to get on his tippy toes.

I'm trying to remember what I did last week. I don't think it was as eventful as the week before that. Pretty normal stuff. Mundane shit. BUT, I WILL be taping another episode for Dru York TV tonight. I was having a hard time coming up with something to talk about but I was thinking about it last night and I think I have something. I'll basically give people access to my blog. What I mean about that is if you have a talent, a craft or do anything unique, I will feature you on my blog. All you need to do is e-mail me a bio about yourself and your work and I'll put it up there. I've come to realize that I know a lot of people who are gifted or talented but the world doesn't know about them yet so I want to use my blog and social networks as a way to promote them. Pro Bono - until they become millionaires, then I will demand my cut. Hehehe. "Pro Bono," I've always wanted to use that phrase. BANG! LOL.

Ok, I need to get to work, time to open my mind up. Until later, GRIND.

Don't forget to take your daily lumps of The PricelessCreativityDRUg (Shout outs to my boy Alpha for coming up with that sick name. Get it? Sick, DRUg? Oh Lord!) It's good for you. The Surgeon General co-signed it. BANG!

Uno.

A Message From Odysseus

What's good family, friends, acquaintances and enemies. How are you living? How was everybody's week? Mine went smoother than expected. Put in some good hours at work, did some meaningful work at that. As some of you might know, I intern at Complex Magazine. I began interning at the fashion department in September of 2009 but have moved to the advertising/marketing department this year. I did this because Marketing is what I eventually want to get into as a career path. It is also what I want to do for my Masters degree, which I will talk about in a minute.

Back to Complex. So I was at the office on Friday and halfway through the day, I was called in to the Managing Director's office. Met the guy, he's really cool. Not as old as I expected either. I will withhold his name, I don't want to cross any professional boundaries. Anyway, I helped him add up some numbers and figures for the advertising that will be paying for ad space in our next February/March issue coming out next month. It was some pretty exciting stuff because I have never had to do anything like that before. After that was complete, he called me back in to help him gather some checks and to mail them out to various people and companies. During that time, we chatted. I told him about myself and what I want to do as a career and he told me about his life. Let me say this; for a 40 year old, his experience in the Magazine industry is THROUGH THE ROOF. Great looking resume.

Anyway, I was just excited to be engaging this man, picking his brain a little bit. That was probably one of my most exciting days of this new year. It was very inspiring. I can't WAIT to get back to the office on Monday.

More good news happened this week. As I mentioned above, I want to get into Grad school in September of this year to do an MBA. To get into an MBA program in the United States, one needs to take the GMAT test. It's like the SATs but for Business Schools. Anywho, the GMAT is not an easy test and studying for it (alone at least) can be a little daunting. Long story short, I've found a study buddy. A friend of mine also wants to take the GMAT and is going through the the same slow procrastination that I'm going through. So we've decided to meet every Saturday or every other Saturday at a public library or Barnes & Noble for some intense studying. It will be more of a morale booster than anything. I'm looking forward to that.

Well folks, this message has been a little longer than I expected, but I just wanted to share these thoughts with ya'll. Give you a "Behind The Scenes" look into my life. I hope it was a good read. I just fixed myself a drink. I need to unwind. Cheers to positive energy! Until next week, let's not slow down. Time is our only enemy.

Deuces.

NO. 1 SHIHAN - TYPE LOVE


This is one of those poems that'll get you what you want, if you know what I mean, enjoy!!

POEM
I want a love like me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you TYPE LOVE
Or me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to myself about how I feel about you TYPE LOVE
Or hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself TYPE LOVE
Or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name.
And shit, I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it out of my garage.

See, I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love TYPE LOVE
Or who loves the other more or what she's doing at this exact moment or slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts.
Closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good could just hurt so much when she's not there and shit, I love not knowing where this love is headed TYPE LOVE.

And check this, I wanna place those little post-it notes all around the house so she never forgets how much I love her TYPE LOVE,Then not have enough ink in my pen to write all there is love TYPE LOVE
And hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel. And I wanna deal with my friends making fun of me the way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love TYPE LOVE.
The only difference is this is one of those real love TYPE LOVES.

And just like in high school I wanna spend hours on the phone not saying shit and then fall asleep and then wake up with her right next to me and smell her all up in my covers TYPE LOVE.
And I wanna try counting the ways I love her then lose count in the middle just so I could start all over again.
And I wanna celebrate one of those one-month anniversaries even though they ain't really anniversaries but doing it just 'cause it makes her happy TYPE LOVE.

And check this, I wanna fall in love with the melody the phone plays when our numbers dial in TYPE LOVE
And talk to you until I lose my breath, she leaves me breathless, but with the expanding of my lungs I inhale all of her back into me.
I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan to something that allows me to talk to her longer 'cause in all honesty, I want to avoid one of them high cell phone bill TYPE LOVES.

And I don't want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are. I mean the lines on my palms don't give me enough time to love you as long as I'd like to TYPE LOVE.
And I want a love that makes me st-st-st-stutter just thinking about how strong this love is TYPE LOVE
And I want a love that makes me want to cut off all my hair. Well maybe not all of the hair, maybe like I'd cut the split ends and trim my mustache but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.

I kind of feel comfortable now so I even be fantasize about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some third world country just to get treated and somehow meet up again with you so I could fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same TYPE LOVE.

I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is. But i'm married, so she’s going to be the one I share this love with.

NO. 2 GEMINEYE - PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

This is one of my personal favorites.

POEM
Can I offer you a penny for your thoughts?
As a matter of fact, how about three?
One penny for you, one penny for me,
And one penny for our minds engaged not so sexually.
Getting intimately closer as we approach the
Climatic altitude of nude, mental, sensational… conversation.
Cause I’m trying to get to know everything about you
From the neck… UP.

So these are not your typical, sexual, poetical prose.
I’m trying to close the door on that all too familiar freaky foreplay game.
With which most guys have chose to approach you.
While they are trying to get deeply embedded
In the fine fibers of your bedsheets,
I’m trying to find and define the fibers of which your, MIND SPEAKS.

I want to engage you
By putting a two karat solitaire diamond ON YOUR MIND
N marrying your every thought!
I want to lick every inch of every crevasse
So I can get an oral fix from each orifice
And taste you passionate IMAGINATION.

I’d rather be naked and exposed, holding you
As we’re lying and you’re crying
While confiding and describing the tough times you’ve had in life
And how you don’t know If you can keep a relationship long enough to be somebody’s wife.
I wanna feel the heartbeat of all your inner rhythms
As they lead me toward your warm, wet, waterfalls of feminine thoughts.
…And I’ll swim in them.
From backstrokes, to breaststrokes,
I’m penetrating every entrance… to your mind.
Taking my time to find out everything about you.

Did I ever tell you about how you
Fell asleep in my presence?
And your mere essence
Kept me awake for hours
As I cowered with this feeling
Of sexually unadulterated mental connection?
And as you lay by my side
I pushed the blinds aside
And took the time in the moonlight of that night
To count 72 eyelashes
On the upper eyelid of your right eye!

Because as you sleep
Your eyes remain open slightly.
And while we probably moves in too quickly into some sexual shit
I’ve always cared more about the explicitly illicitness
That came from between you lips.. meaning your voice.
So now I am standing here
Ready to trade in all the sexual acts that we’ve preformed
For the chance to reform the very foundation
And the basis of our relationship.
And I reiterate my opening statement
And I offer you another PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS!!

Beautiful, aint it? haha!!

NASA'S ONE-MAN ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT

NASA Designs a One-Man electric Puffin. On the ground, the Puffin is designed to stand on its tail, which splits into four legs to help serve as landing gear. Conceptual design focusing on the ability of a redundant electric propulsion system to provide new capabilities for Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft.

"Is it possible for a one-person electric plane to take off vertically and fly 300 mph? NASA says yes, and shows us how it's done with Puffin, a single-passenger aircraft that's 10 times quieter than the most hushed helicopters. The design, accomplishing the same goal as a jetpack with a cockpit, could be the closest man has ever come to flying like a bird. Using today's technology, Puffin can cruise for 50 miles, but aerospace engineers at NASA say that range could triple by 2017."
