New Cellular, Tellular Phone...ular

Wooo! So as some of you may know, I bought a new (well practically new) cellphone from a Craigslist seller recently! -- and yes, my number is the same. I had my heart set on the HTC S720 for a while and I've been searching high and low for a seller.

The short story is...after speaking to about 6 different sellers -- all while checking ESN's and confirming it with Telus Client Care to see if the phones were not reported stolen, as well speaking to Telus representatives about what I should do in my situation -- I finally stumbled upon an ad and the perfect seller.

Someone who was trying to sell her plan and phone as a combo. I noticed the phone happened to be the one I wanted so I gave it a go and sent an email saying I was only interested in the phone...she then offers me an unbelievable price! She was willing to sell a practically new S720 for $200! (keep in mind, the value cost for this would typically go for $250 -- original retail price is about $500)

After failing to meet 2 times (funny story in itself ), we finally met last Friday night at Metrotown. She was a cute little Filipino girl with her intimidating gangsta Filipino boyfriend by her side! (I guess it was necessary to bring him haha)

We did the deal and I gave her the money...

...but suddenly she became so shocked and lost in my deep brown eyes and my handsome good looks that she wanted to make sweet love to me in exchange for the phone. We then headed to the nearest cheapest motel...

Okay I was kidding about that last statement but it's been 5 days with this phone and I LOVE IT! So thank you Anne!...or Lily!...or whatever your name was haha

JUNE 4TH BITCHESSSS!!!

edit:

whoops June 2nd (thanks felicia lol)

Cellphones...PFFT!

So I officially went a whole month without a cellphone and from my scientific research (lol), and after several strenuous days, I gathered a conclusion that it absolutely SUCKED. Okay well, lemme give you some back knowledge...

- I bought an LG Chocolate (first problem lol)
- on a 2 year contract, the LG Chococrap went all white-screen emo on me 1 month AFTER my warranty ended
- found out "Life is NOT Good"
- Telus assures that I wouldn't be able to do much since my contract doesn't end for awhile
- suggests getting a replacement phone until September

So I am currently Craigslisting around and what caught my eye was the HTC S720...I met a seller and she's giving me a reasonable deal on it! So we'll see how that goes!

But let's talk about cellphones in general...before the demise of my phone I've been using it everyday --- txting, calls, etc just like any other user. Immediately after that, I felt distant from the world...without communication. The two weeks after that I had the most lame weekends ever (coincidence??) but this only leads to a much bigger question...

...it's a scary realization but, we are just so reliant on technology! Soon we will be robots (or replaced by robots lol) in the near future! A life without my iPod, laptop, phone, internets, etc sucks a big one! Am I alone here?!?!

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh??!!!! lol

It took about 1 year, 5 months, 3 weeks, and a couple days...

...to have FINALLY bust someone of stealing something at work!!!!

A post to remember forever...

WHEN: April 20, 2008 @ approx. 11:50am

Here's some Youtube Clips to enjoy:

Stupid me

So as I got home at about 1045pm after work, I realized right at my door I forgot my keys...

And no one was home...

And I didn't have a cellphone...

And I was freezing like a muthafucker!

My parents finally arrived home about an hour and a half later...

You could laugh now lol...

Why mainstream CDN hip hop = pathetic...

...it's coz labels keep signing bullshit like Belly and this douche...



Balling is my hobby?!? OH HELL NAH!

So I caught a small interview of this guy named Page. "Yeah..I'm from the streets....they know I'm real...blah blah blah blah".

Sad...very sad...

[/Ig'nant S#*%]

"99 Problems and Hillary Ain't One!"

Hahaha! Automatic cool pts for Obama! Shoulder dustin at formal events FTW (if anyone can remember who did that at Grad gets props from me haha)

And is it just me or does Obama sound like that white character Dave Chappelle does in his skits? LOL!

these kicks...

If anyone sees these kicks around Vancouver, give me a shout lol. I saw em in a store in Oakridge but that's fucking far! They look sick in person...

I've just been trying to find some cool looking high or mid top black sneakers with a roundish nose for a long ass time and these are dope!

My Summer Goal

...Is to explore my promotions and marketing skills in the music scene and find experience somewhere. Thanks to my big sis, she put my networking skills in motion! My sisters friend Alpha (sorry...can't seem to find his page on this internet lol) is a rapper that knows a few people I could meet to gain some experience.

He gave me a contact of a person who is affiliated with Club Vibes apparently. Alpha thought I could learn a lot from him coz he started out young as well and has a lot of experience. Alpha said the person isn't "jaded" either....wasn't so sure what he meant by that but maybe it has something to do with the person not being sick of what he's doing still, and still having passion for doing it.

So I'll give that a go sometime this week after researching and shiet...til then an update is pending!

As for my weekly "Fresh 7", I'm gonna put it on halt due to lack of interest...I may continue it down the road. But I may upload a few songs here and there. I think I tried doing too much with this blog too soon!

Peace!

FRESH 7 - Week II - April '08

Featured Artist: MICKEY FACTZ

" As hip-hop has culturally evolved from it’s original days, of the b-boys to that of the d-boys and so forth. Mickey Factz has been steadily crafting what he’s coined as "Uber" music. When asked what "Uber" music is, he gestures at the sky and says, "undeniable global music...I don’t care where in the world you are, you’re rockin’ to this shit." To Factz hip-hop music in it’s truest essence is about being able to rock out on any track like the forefathers did and currently that lack there of in the genre is what’s stagnating its growth. "The music my generation and younger are listening to has expanded beyond funk and soul, we’re listening to rock, electronic, house and so forth. I’m always going to be clever with the wordplay and lyrics, but very few rappers can do that on a Royskopp record. That’s the lane I ride in. I’m going to do me, and trust, you’ll love me for it. "

1. Mickey Factz - "Don't Be Light (featuring N.E.R.D.)"

2. Kidz In The Hall - "Drivin' Down The Block"

3. Wyclef Jean - "Fast Car (Remix) (featuring Lupe Fiasco)"

4. Rod - "Grown And Sexy (featuring Keri Hilson)"

5. Kenna - "Out Of Control"

6. Justice - "DVNO"

7. Colin Monroe - "I Want Those Flashing Lights"

Don't worry, be happy

So I probably will be on hiatus for a bit (pending writers block and inevitable procrastination lol). I'm sacrificing my weekend and all to catch up on some schoolwork (ughh) but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

ANYWAYS amidst the recent depression and realization that no, we will not see the Canucks kick some ass in the post season this year (*sigh*) I thought I could share a kinda feel good story to you in YouTube format. Check out this dope animation video some guy made of a song and uploaded (...and in this story, the underdog wins!)

Lupe Fiasco - "And He Get's The Girl"



So in the words of Bobby Mcferrin "don't worry..be happy"! (and please take this in any context you may want in general...Canucks related or not). Peace!

80's babies stand UP!

**WARNING** This poster is NOT real **WARNING**

Anyways, back in October I created this poster for a school project (pretty nice eh??). We were suppose to create a poster of an event of our choice (made up or real) that would display our understanding of elements of design such as direction, texture and colour. But anyways blah blah blah...

Wasn't sure what to put on it but figured I'd have it be of a rap group I'm feeling the most these days headlining a tour, with others who I think are cool too to guest appear as well. And it's more than just the hipster/80's swag (that seems to be the "in" thing right now) that catches my ear...these guys are pretty nice on the mic.

Wait..these guys probably don't even wanna be called and labeled hipsters coz ....well, it's not cool or hip to be labelled like anything or anyone....lol.

ANYWAYS, check out their MySpaces...

Wale (most likely to get mainstream appeal)
