LADY GAGA x MONSTER BALL TOUR

Best concert of my life!

I WAS THERE!

Night of January 9th 2010

PICS & WORDS COMING SOON!

Too bad Kanye missed out on it....that would have been hot shit!

Ugh! Stupid ass Taylor Swift! Why was she born!?

New Year 2010

Welcome to 2010.

2009 was a great year!

Now it's time to make 2010 an even better year.

I'm actually quitting school...well after I graduate with an associates in art!

I am not going to a university. I'm sick of school.

I actually don't want to be in advertising anymore! I'm not the kiss-ass type.

So I rather not waste my time!

I would still love to be a vet though! Too much school & Im not a kitty killer.

My dream is to own a shoe store & make it my own brand & move to NYC or Cali.

Apes told me my blog was awesome.

Yeah right? I should write in it more often.

I think I want to be a writer for a newspaper or magazine!

I'll keep practicing!

Best of luck to all my family & friends in 2010.

Keep reading my posts to expand ya mind!

Thanksgiving is the new Thanxgimme!

I made a new nickname for thanksgiving....thanxgimme!

Because it's the day you say thanks for the food now gimme everything else!

It's a made up holiday by corporate America to go on a food overload

(C'mon you seen the supermarkets that day!)

& the original meaning is now dead as a fried turkey

because the Europeans came over here to

slaughter the Indians,

demolish all the buffalo,

rape the women,

burn the towns,

and force their religion onto us.

WTF America?

Corporate America now has made up Black Friday & Cyber Monday

in order to make all you people spend spend spend spend

for another corporate holiday XMAS!

why's it gotta be about buying stuff?

Cuz Walmart wants you to!

Thanks for Barack Obama for pardoning the turkey!

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm eating corn, biscuits, & cranberry sauce all day!

peace bitchez!

Relax In Power El Nino Azteca

Francisco Rodriguez, el Nino Azteca, passed away in November of 2009.

He was my co-worker & a very polite young man who loved Jordans.

He is survived by a lovely wife and young daughter.

His family donated his organs, and they were given to 6 other people.

Since then, he has been tremendously honored on

E:60, a tv show on ESPN.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6390758

His story has has inspired and touched many many people,

even people who claim they are not the teary type.

He once told his wife he wanted to be a hero

&

He is!

Rest in Paradise Francisco!

El Nino Akteka!

Corrupt CTA

The CTA is Chicago's little "L" system...

Many people says it sucks compared to other cities.

I think they are total crybabies!

It's pretty messed up when you can buy flat screens that are absolutely useless!

Their purpose is to tell me the time (uh, I can look at my phone and ur old little dot dot boards)
I think they might have cameras in them too, cuz I was looking to see what brand they were and instead it was a little hole. Hmmm?

Then, they want to tax us $3!?
Think about all the H.S. kids who use the CTA everyday...everyday! New freshman meat is always coming in every year. Isn't that a lot of money?

They tried to brown nose the old people, by giving them free rides. Now they are trying to take that back! Indian Givers!

They let all their employees ride for free...

Mayor Daley has a "hiring program" and that's the only way to get a job with the CTA.

From North to the South to the East to the West people who really don't have cars and people who can't afford gas & parking meters pay the FARE!

I remember paying $1.50...now I gotta pay $2 one way! $2.50 for a transfer?

The CTA never let u in on this secret but I will... you can actually use the transfer 3 times!

See all these people on the bus?! Give them a break!

Last, but not least, CTA go fire yourselves.

Let graffiti rock, you know you're amazed by it...cleaning it up doesn't cost that much!

Oh yeah, keep clockin that advertising dough.

So I can get monopolize.

Sorry!

I didn't forget about you, but let's just say...
life moves faster than the blink of an eye!
I wonder how many times we blink in a day!
But I don't have time to count all the blinks &
I don't have time for you anymore blogger....
Right now just started school...last semester at Morton...
then, to Roosevelt, but I don't wanna go!
I rather be a compassionate starving artist.
So long....

Gween Stefani & the No Doubt concert= iLL!

Since Tragic Kingdom, I don't know since...oh snap 1995! I was only 7 then!
Thanks for the inspiration Gwen! I love the pop, ska, raggae punk shit!!!Spiderwebs*SundayMorning*Don't Speak*Just A Girl

It's so dope because Gwen Stefani ain't afraid to be her own creative self.She's doing her thing and she's a mommy!

One of the best concerts I been to!!! And I've been to a lot!!!

She most definitely put her heart and soul into her performance!

It's really funny, cuz our guys' were like...

hell naw I ain't going to a No Doubt concert

and us girls were like, hell yeah, I'm going. It's gonna be dope.

Any guy looking to find a girlfriend should have been there!!!

All girls!!!

I had the best time with 3 amazing fierce females!

Irene, Anelle, & Beatrice!

Pre-gamed crunkness in the parking lot!

Had a blast, the security told us to stop drinking go to the concert already!

Used our beauty to get our way.

Smoked a lil cush and people were smelling around looking feiny!

Danced our ass off and

forgot to kidnap Gwen!

It's the best $15 for lawn seats I never touched the grass!!!

The shit was bananas!!!!

25,000 females in that spot.

Way more people than Rock the Bells (it was at the same venue)!!!

I wonder how they came up with the name No Doubt.
Like, no doubt!
And I've passed by Anaheim, CA
and I was like Gwennny!!!!

Nick Swisher, Bee, and Apes visit Mercer 21

Former White Sox, turned Yankee, Nick Swisher has always been my favorite dude for a reason.He's cool like that!!! He went to ID his own kick at 21 Mercer.

No surprise, my babe got us into the ID studio by pulling a few strings.

I sat in the same seat as my favorite b-ball player.

The same dude who helped Nick Swisher helped us.

He said that Swish is very funny, down to earth, and country.

Bee N Apes both IDesigned an AM90.

Can't wait to get in in 4 weeks!

And here they are!!! I don't think I'll be dropping $150 on a shoe anymore!

Ape's are bad ass. I'll need to flick it. Check back soon!

What were you thinking Yeezy?

Sorry, to break the bad news to ya, but the beautiful precious

Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Women's Dons will not be releasing.

Supposedly, there are samples but the Women's line was not chosen to release.

I heard from a cool employee @ Louis Vuitton on Greene St. in Manhattan/Soho

What the hell Yeezy! I would have gotten them!

OMG have u seen all the 8 men's pairs???

I'm not even going to put it on this blog!

Peace out!

Lady GaGa set tag along with Kanye

At least, he's trying to declare "peace peace"

Thumbs up in my book

White Sox Win and Cubs Cry

White Sox cream LA Angels

17-3

Dye hits more homers! That guy is baseball's Michael Jordan

I found this pic on the web...someone else sees the resemblence in greatness!

Mysteriously, he is crowned #23

And I love baseball butts!

Cubs lose to their enemies Pittsburgh Pirates

10-8

8 Game Losing Streak!!

Lou Pinella is too tired to argue with the umps this time!

Milton Bradley not the board gamer gets thrown out the game

The pitcher, who wasn't pitching, was bitchin, got thrown out

and they pitching coach also got thrown out

and it's a sad mess at Wrigley.

Haha!

Chi Pride Go Blackhawks!

Even though the Blackhawks are probably going to get creamed by the Red Wings.

Hey, we're still giving up a good fight! Hockey is a lot of fun, especially when they get rowdy!

A lot of the old dinosaurs are excited about the Blackhawks back in action.

On the Lake Shore Drive (LSD) you can spot this dinosaur with a lot of spunk, rockin his blackhawks jersey! So cute and creative!

That's the Field Museum behind it, filled with lots of mummys and ancient shit.

I also got lost in there on a 1st grade field trip and I cried.

Cherry Dunk's Released Around Town

I snoozed on a $95 sample on Ebay.

I searched and I searched.

Called up corporate, said they was to release on June 1st.

Supposed to be Quikstrike!

WTF! They are out now and released everywhere.

I mean almost everywhere.

St. Alfred, Belmont Army Surplus, Diana's, DTLR?, c'mon!

I got mine from Self Conscious, actually Encore, the sister store

Oh yeah, it's my first skinny dunk and it is pretty skinny.

Feels weird, but I can dig it compared the fat dunk I was wearing.

Supposedly, on the forums and blogs, no one was feeling the design, like womens' panties!

so I guess when the price drops, I'll get a pair to keep on ice.

Came out with a beige pair but that one was not eye catchin'

Retail price: $100

ReLax in Paradise GrAMpah CharLie

My Grandpa Charlie aka Hook passed away of cancer last May 21st 2008. It was kind of painful, yet I know my grandpa can't live forever! Even if he could live forever, he'd be like no way! Take me to heaven! I'm really glad that I had a lot of good memories of him and he lived a wild life. For one, my grandpa was in prison for 8 years. I used to be a little little girl going to visit him in prison. But, he stuck through it. People respected him. And he came out a bigger G than he came in. I think people need to pay homage to their grandparents. If it weren't for him leaving Texas and coming to the Chi, I wouldn't exist! My grandpa was my daddy's buddy. My grandpa loved to go to the race track. He used to tell me, Brenda, go tell your daddy to take you the races so we can win. My daddy, Joe, called him MUSH anyways! Hey, he couldn't see, or hear! HUH? That's what he'd say. Papa Charlie reminds me of grandpa from the Simpsons. My grandpa was a wild guy! As an elderly, he would go out, drive down Ogden in his old school Caprice, even though he couldn't even see! He said he'd follow someone's headlights. He would come home at 4 AM! Later his Caprice had no butt (trunk). Imagine that! Grandpa's memory is forever spookin yuppies down Taylor ST! RIP Grandpa hope ur in heaven gambling and winning always! Pictures coming soon

Obama x Chia

I want one! $19.99 plus shippin ehhh? But I did find this a little offensive!
I thought they were taken off the market?
It doesn't even look like him!

Nike Xmen United Pack

If Dunk & Vandal mated & had a baby....this would be mutt sneaker! But, I do like these. Wish they were in my size. Ill color way. Cool claw marks. Must have for all XMen hypebeasts! Not too pricey. Available at Proper, I think, & Ebay. It's also Quikstrike!

Also in the pack: hairy 95s, titled the SaberTooF!

Jordan V Ragin' BuLL Defining Moments Pack

Ooh! Now I feel like going to Great America to ride the Ragin Bull

It is the best coaster around especially when ur high off life!

Anywho, on to the kicks!!!!

Bam!

Bam~!

Apes is a lucky duckling. He already got his hands on them! But, these kicks are hotness right here! The red pair reminds me of Chicago's own: Da BuLLs! and the grey pair is 3M? Sick with it. It DMP that comes with cool woody lookin' box, unlike the CDPs. Retailin for $310! It'll be sold at mall joints, but I bet they'll never hit the floor. I know Finishline got 10 pairs. No youth sizes!? WTF, man!!! Nike Corp, Jordan, if ur reading this: please expand your clientele! You're missing the good half: the lil ladies! I'll probably grab a pair to hold down, anyways, go get em toro!

New PoLLo Loco in Scumitt, IL

Super glad that Cali style pollo has crossed the road of Archer & Harlem! It's really the only competetion Portillo's cant krush!!

El Pollo Loco is infamous in Cal-lifor-nia!

Super goody and tastey...you will find me here in case of emergency!

And forget Oprah's stupid KFC Naked Chicken, it's not that good!!

Nike Spray Paint Pack Spring 09

I feel mediocre about this pack. Good idea/theme. Wack colors except the Lime Diggs. Why two court forces? Why low top vandal>? Add more style & presto! I might buy when they get to clearance! Where's my caps?

Nike x Kanye West = Yeezy

How can I forget about this post? I just been busy seLLing them on eBay!

Honestly, I wish I could hold down my own pair, because these kicks are honestly going to be hot shit for years to come! Tell em Bun Beezy!

Here's Bee & Apes & Cee @ Leaders 1354! I dig the cool peeps who work there. But, honestly, wtf is that shit about? Only coming out in Men's sizes?If Yeezy knew the deal, the hype would be much more hyper if they came out in 5.5y and up! Too bad, so sad, come visit me in line for the Wheat Pair!

Where are you, Yeezy!?

Guess what? I seen bootleg pairs of them at a gas station for $150! The were solid solid, black, and grey. Not bad lookin though. I was laughin' hard! I told the dude I got the real pair. He said show me, I told him I'll BRB and never paid for the blizzy.

College Kids Go Apeshit!

Yo!

College Kids ages 18-22 get

discounted plane tickets for

$69 each way

if they fly Standby.

It's a little stressful,

cuz you don't know if ur, for sure, snag a seat on the plane.

But, for last minute trips to NYC, LA, Vegas, & Florida

you can't beat it!

The other catch is....

fly with a carry-on to avoid a silly $16 fee!

Bon Voyage!

eek! I'm going to Florida 2morrow!

Michelle Obama Drops More Dough on Sneakers Than Me!

Michelle Obama rocked some $540 pair of sneakers!

They are made by "Lavin"

in which Kanye and Ellen DeGeneres are fans!

You think?

I'm a sneaker head, but for that price

she should have rocked the

Yeezys, or the Kanye Louis Vuittons.

Basically, I think the shoes are ugly!

They remind me of these low top vandals with silky thin laces

that I passed up at the Nike Outlet some years ago!

But, I'm not hating, to each his own.

Mama Obama! I can be your personal stylist!

Go BULLS!

Just to let you know! The BULLS kicked ass in 3 Overtimes!!!
I'll post the hot players you should be interested in!

Bulls VS Celtics

Series tied 2-2

WoWza, Two playoff games go to double OT!

The other day I accidentally wore a Celtics coat. Apes told me I betetr be careful wearin it, but I took it off becuz I'm da Bulls fan!

But, I love Boston! They got a really cool logo, too!

But, I did work at the Bulls games, I just went to a Bulls game. Bulls game are super duper fun, I recommend everybody goin to one. Even better than baseball games!

I do recall da Bulls, in dope green jerseys, stomping the Celtics, in the Chi @ the United Center, on St. Patty's Day!!!!!!

My heart goes to:

DA BuLLs

Which one would you rather wear?
