Half Hood, Half Class

“A bad joke, Your Grace.”

When this happened, I def was like “OHHHHHHH SNAP!”

University of Chicago, Kanye song premiere.

Folks thought Kanye was flying by in the helicopter last night. Me in the background crackin’ up.

Dude at the Kanye joint had a “Free Sosa” tee on. I just had to snap a pic.

Seriously, I’ve been noticing this for a while now. Some of you all can be extremely OD at times. Not saying that some folks of the Caucasian world don’t make stupid comments on here about issues relating to race, but every white person isn’t out to get you. Drive slow homies.

Summer Activities

I had this idea a few months back to try a new restaurant every week that I’ve never gone to. Now that the weather is finally breaking, I’m gonna start next week on it and record my progress throughout the summer. I’m pretty much open to any and all types of cuisine from different backgrounds and cultures. I’m even down for the Vegan spots. So if you’re in or from Chicago and you have a favorite restaurant of yours you’d like to  suggest, I’d appreciate it a lot.

I had a school assignment to shoot a music video. So I decided to shoot a video about shooting a video the day it’s due lol.

This was my first attempt at directing & editing a video. Plus this is one of my personal favorite songs. Reblog and enjoy!

Peace to Ya.
