Solitary Confinement: Day One The Beggining
August 31 is the day i started classes at my new skool where I know no one and everything is an unfamiliar place. Yet, i feel so complacent and I am not nervous or scared I think its because I have gotten used to just doin me and no carin what others think. Once again I am the only one who is different amongst the student body from my demeaner and the way the I dress my self like i walk around bymyself until sumone has the courag to step to me and say sumthin, I like the way the human species thinks like they are so scary and not afraid to step out side of their comfort zone it cracks me up sumtimes. Anyway, the food here is good which is a plus and the people are friendly, and my classes are pretty easy my professors are dope and pretty kool in the sense they dont take skool so seriously because they know life is also important. The no wearin shorts rule until after 4 is kinda lame but I can deal. The skool is not son bad after all the way I felt man I was like man ima be in a electric chair with a dry sponge on my head. Its kool tho, Im still not planning on staying but its all good. Ill be fine this semester and im not even worried I think I will be able to deal with the skool for a semester or 2. Plus the Blueprint 3 drops and Attention Deficit and Finally famous and Grown Kid Syndrome. Pretty Fresh. Im Gone.

The Best/Worst Summer.
So as of right now im feeling extremely confident about the next 3 years of my life. I know its hard to feel confident about what the future has planned for you but I KNOW for a fact that Im gonna be getting ahead of everyone in this world in the next three years. This summer would be considered the worst of all summers for me, yet it was the best summer because I learned so much. So with that said I think God put me through cetain things to put me that much further ahead into being GREAT on this Earth. I dont plan on stopping anytime soon, I know its not up to us whether to stop or move on but I feel when God will stop me will be when I am finished doing what I said I will do which is changing the world drastically, and putting society back on its feet. I will not be going back to Azusa Pacific University because its just too expensive and they worked me academically, trying to make it seem as if I am not smart enough to be there when I was the only freshman who scored higher than juniors and sophmores on their little placement tests. I will be attending the Masters College which is SOLITARY CONFINEMENT for me because its in the mountains out in the valley and its extremly small. Its like Gods Prison for me, not that he is punishing me or anything, its more like him sending me away to get 10 steps ahead of the world. So when I make my return to this place Im even more focused than I have ever been. I will only be attending this skool for a year and then I will leave and come back to the world. Until then Im gonna be about my Business and when I return, I am coming to make change. Sounds all epic huh? well I hope its like this. Thats all I have to say. I start skool monday. Im gone to infinity and beyond.

August 25th
Today is the Day after my Birthday, and my Birthday was not really a big deal for me although it is for alot of other people I haven't done anything worthy of people giving me any praises or anything yet, I mean I am thankful for the happy bdays but it is just another day in my book until I actually do something. I got a call from my mom saying that Cal State Dominguez said my file for admission was incomplete after a counselor there specifically told me that I had been accepted. I guess the man in the attic was trying to tell me I was not supposed to be there. So once again I am stuck in a small private school which I am sick of but its kool, I guess it will be like Gods way of putting me in Solitary Confinement to plan further. Its funny how God is because I am always way ahead of my peers my thinking and my maturity and everything else that i do in life, yet he always makes sure Im like an extra step ahead of the next step. Which to me I never get but I dont argue with him because he always knows whats best. I guess he is preparing me for what the Great and Not so distant future may bring. Listening to J. Cole's The Warm Up Mixtape and Kayne's Never let me Down and Jay-Z Cant knock the hustle I just thought I would post up a quick brain note on August 25th.

Beauty & Youth x Schott Leather Jacket
Beauty & Youth x Schott Leather Jacket | Hypebeast: "While leather jacket maker Schott was arguably the pinnacle of motorcycle protection wear in the past, the development of new technologies has made the vintage crop of jacket styles a bit obsolete relative to their new-age styles. Nevertheless, the styles offered by Schott are unsurpassed in aesthetic as its classic and timeless styles have made their way into popular culture in more ways than one. Recognizing the quality and importance of Schott, Beauty & Youth create their very own version with the traditional black leather body and contrasting hardware."

Puma x Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 2010 “Urban Mobility” Collection | First Looks | Highsnobiety.com: "For Spring/Summer 2010 Puma and Hussein Chalayan present their first collaborative collection. Entitled “Urban Mobility”, Chalayan presents a collection that shows off his talent for material innovation and Puma’s technical excellence.
“At the heart of the collaboration is Chalayan’s exploration of new technology, which has produced spellbinding runway moments: skirts that opened and folded by remote control, furniture that morphed into clothing and outfits orbited by electric lights.
While not as extreme, the pieces designed for Puma continue Chalayan’s penchant for cutting-edge style combined with function.”
The collaboration between the designer and the brand is long-term. We will of course keep you posted.
After the jump some more views from the Puma x Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 2010 “Urban Mobility” Collection."
Alot of Good Music on Jay-Z new Album, Here is the tracklist for the Blueprint 3. Who knows that may not even be it, he always does wait until the last minute to send his albums.
Minutes in Time
Ever have those time where oyu go into deep thought and everything around oyu goes black and then a random spotlight jus appears from out of the blue. Theres No music no noise at all there is nothing, just pure silence. Well I have those moments prolly like 8 times a day or more and I just think. Like I look at the past in my life and review it like I could have done that better and did this better, and make sure I dont make the same mistakes again because if I do I feel like I have failed at life. I know no one is perfect but I just have my goals where you made the mistake once dont make it again. I think about the future alot, they say tommorrow is never promised so live for today, my thing is live for today plan for tomorrow. I live everyday like its my last, but I try do right everyday because the truth is we are all gonna die one day and lets just say you were a good person all your life and then one day you decide to be bad one day just make the worst of decisions how will that look when you die its kinda you wasted your whole life in that one day. So everyone who has ever did me wrong in my life I have forgiven them when I think that was the hardest part for me to do.
When people see you they remeber all the stuff you used to do and how you use to act and they still look at you in the light of the same person you were when you left them, problem I am an organism we are meant to grow and evolve, and I am still the same dude and always have been from Kindergarten on up till now, but I at this point where I find it best to stay quiet, and put work in.
When those minutes in my present time happen to pause for a while I think, which is the reason why I am so different and always have been and always ahead of my peers, what I have planned before I die is not an easy task at hand, its prolly the hardest thing anyone on Earth can even try to set as a goal, but God knows what hes using me for, so sleep on my now because one day the bed your sleeping on will provided by me.

I dont function to go to Functions
Lately I have been asked to hit up functions, I mean I dont have a problem with partying and "living life" but honestly goin to functions makes me feel like a toddler in a play pin. Why do I want to dance I dont dance, Im to busy making my name known in the world. I dont be yastin it, I dont have a problem with the kush epidemic that has been controlling my generation on down but I dont want to have that smell fuse with my cologne, Im to fresh for that. So I dont hit up functions plus on the other hand if I do attend a funtion its like a Pasadena Reunion like I dont mind seeing faces from the past but half of these cats are not doing anything with their lives except buying skinny jeans and flannels and tryna pull "girls", if you have girls where are they at? The only functions I will be attending are corporate meetings with an executive branch to bring more money into my company. Im trying to be the next Leader of The New School Go down in history as a bright young man who did something good for his generation and make sure the adults understand us "young people".
Get ya Mind Right
So for thos who were wondering where the hell I have been like I just died and like fell off the Earth, Im good but every break I get from school I Take a Mental Vacation from the World because people live life with out thinking now days and not resting a very important part of your body(for me the most important besides my heart), so I had to fade to black for a minor minute just to make sure before I start school or a job or anything my mind is focused on what it needs to be focused on cant be going in to places with a feeble mind thats how you lose track of the goal you need to achieve all the problems you are goin to put up with are only going to DESTROY whats left of your brain. So there fore I learned to repair the brain after jobs or school but only on breaks and I plan things for the future. Im still alive and breathing just planning and contemplating on new ideas and working on new things. I shudd be back this week from my mental vacation August 22 is the due date.

Paint a Picture with Words
So imagine your walking down a long trail or road and the wind is blowing and the sky is that kinda gray where its not rainy but the day is dull, and its around the time of sunset and you look up in the sky and you notice that the sky is like that purple/orange when the sunsets and you see the clouds in different color, and then you notice the smell it smells like nothing really just air going in and out of your nose. You have on a the lazy day clothes and your hair is not done nothing just your standard shower,brushing of teeth/and face wash. While your are walking no one else is out and the trail or road your on has a couple of by passing cars and you cant see who is in it because their windows are tinted and while your walking you get this thought in your head, like why in the hell am i on this earth. Then you think about everything and everyone and every event that has happened since you have been living and you realize that one day you want to make a difference. All the people around you such as your friends your family you just kinda fall off and like everyone fogets about you...and then every one starts to wonder where you went and why you have disappeared off the face of the earth you turn your phone off, and dont get on facebook and no twitter or myspace. While your walking you hear this faint woice of your favorite soul singer singing a melody of a sad day like at a funeral. Then it clicks you look up and Gods Day eye is looking upon you and no where else and you realize your destine for greatness. You look up and say to him "Me? alright I just hope I can live up to your standards" Then you keep walking and finally you sit and stare out over the view of the city kinda like your on a throne and think how am i going to change all of this drastically...I am not Jesus. Then affter that happens a sweet melody from your favorite soul singer melody changes now they are singing in honor of you and then you hear people clapping and then you realized the road to changing the world went by so fast that you did not even realize what you were doing. Then one day you decide your job is done on earth and god needs you at home to finish defeating the evil in any way you can. Thats what I think about everyday when I wake until I go to bed, thats why I dont talk to people and dont party and Im never really even seen, Work now play later is my motto and people say live life, I am living just dont want to waste it. I hope you all have a good weekend.
Success Story:Angela Logan
TEANECK, New Jersey (CNN) -- Actress Angela Logan has played many roles off-stage to earn a living. She's worked as a teacher, model and hairdresser and is studying to be a nurse.
But when she fell into foreclosure on her Teaneck, New Jersey, home, Logan turned to baking an apple cake her family had always loved.
"It was a flash of desperation," Logan said. "I thought, 'Wow. We could sell these cakes, they're so good.' "
Logan named her delicacy Mortgage Apple Cake and resolved to sell 100 in 10 days at $40 each to meet a mortgage payment, pay off bills and qualify for a federal program that could lower her monthly payments.
She advertised the cake to everyone she knew, including her classmates.
"The hardest part was saying, 'Can you buy my cakes, this is my problem,' because admitting to your friends that you're in foreclosure, and that you need their help, that's a hard thing to say," Logan said.
Two years ago, a contractor promised to renovate Logan's brick-and-stucco home. But instead, Logan says he took the money and did only a portion of the work -- leaving the entire second floor bare to the beams and plastic wrap still covering much of the exterior.
Logan's financial squeeze tightened when one of the actress' talent agencies shut down without paying her for commercial work.
The 55-year-old divorced mother of three fell far behind on her mortgage and other debt payments, leading her to seek help from Consumer Credit Counseling of New Jersey. Counselor Pamela Glass brainstormed with Logan to envision potential extra sources of income.
"We put our heads together to make extra money," Glass said. "I said, 'Take a look at what you can do.' She said, 'I bake once in a while'. I said, 'Well, maybe you can do some baking.' "
When Logan asked, neighbors, fellow church congregants and classmates responded. Soon she was baking night and day, two cakes at a time. Al Hamdi, general manager of the Hilton in nearby Hasbrouck Heights, heard of Logan's plan and offered the hotel's four giant ovens, letting her accelerate production.
"She was going to do something out of the box to save her home and her family. That was the inspiring part for us," Hamdi said.
Logan figures she's baked about 200 cakes -- double her goal. And since qualifying for the federal Make Home Affordable program, her monthly mortgage payment is dropping by nearly 20 percent
Other Americans in a financial bind can also find creative answers to their cash crunch, Logan said.
"Find your talent. Find something you can do that will help," she said. Many hobbies have the potential to generate extra cash: teaching a skill like playing an instrument or speaking a foreign language; home repairs for those who are handy; even dog-walking or pet-sitting for animal lovers.
"Some people have extra skills they don't use," Glass said.
Internet retailer Bake Me A Wish! got a whiff of the Mortgage Apple Cake and is preparing to mass-produce it and share the proceeds with Logan. The company says it already has 650 Mortgage Apple Cake orders.
"We're going to be baking cakes together, develop a whole line of cakes, Angela Logan Cakes," said Josh Kaye, president of Bake Me A Wish!
Escaping foreclosure could propel Logan to a new career in baking. But she's still studying nursing, knowing from experience never to depend upon just one role.

Weird news of The Day: Bunny With Two Noses?
Funny news and weird humor - Daily Updates - Funnymos.com: "A Connecticut pet shop worker found the nosey bunny in a delivery of 6-week-old dwarf rabbits that arrived at the Milford store last week. Both noses have two nostrils.
The owner of the Purr-Fect Pets shop says he’s never seen anything like it in 25 years in the business. He says the bunny eats, drinks and hops around like the rest of the litter.
Beardsley Zoo director Gregg Dancho says the deformity could be the result of too much inbreeding or the parents’ exposure to pesticides or poisons.
Store workers have begun a naming contest with Cyrano de Bergerac and Deuce among the contenders so far."

Pac Div Tribute
So when I first heard about this group I was 16 in my Junior year of Highschool and my boy James Glover was like man you need to listen to real hip hop and I was like I do lol, and he was like nah I mean from the West Coast and I was like man no one is good anymore from the West Coast and he was like there are good MC's you just have to look and I was like who are you speaking of and he was like I want you to listen to this and he gave me Pac Div's Mixtape and I was like alright. It took me like a week to get around to it because I really didnt want to hear it and when I finally listened to the mixtape it was rediculous. Like the music was what I wanted to hear yet they had nice word play and clever rhymes and I became a huge fan. From that poin one I kept an ear out for them and when Church League Champions dropped my boy Jai was like ay bro Pac Div's mixtape goes hard and I was like oh let me check that out because I had already heard the song Mayor and was bumpin that in my vehicle dippin through Pasadena out to Azusa though L.A. lol. The Church League Champions by Far is one of the Best Mixtapes out this year next to So Far Gone and Back to The Feature. The other reason I call it that is because they bring it back out to L.A. which Hip Hop scene has been underground for the past few years and no one has stood out except Game and Snoop. These dudes bring far more to the hip hop game they have a NWA attitude but they dont rap about guns and gangs they spitt real life and fun stories and their music is great. They rock The Hundreds which is prolly my all time favorite clothing next to Johnny Cupcakes and BBC and Ice Cream and Louis Vuitton. I figure I pay my respect to these three guys because they have been on the grind from the beginning and I hope they reach superstardom.Pac Div what it is one time!

When The Music Stops, and The Fans leave,and The Stage Lights Go Off
First off I want to say R.I.P. to my man Joe Snell I didnt really no him that well, I just used to say hello to him and my mom knew him pretty well so she was devastated by his passing so I just had to Pay my respects to him., and my prayers are with his family. Its crazy how the people who are not considered Icons can be the biggest person in someone elses life. There have been many deaths this summer, I feel when people pass away especially good people god is calling them to battle at that present moment when they leave this earth. So I am never sad when someone passes away because they are needed elsewhere kinda like a draft and them having to go to the military and to fight in the army of light. With that said while we are here on this Earth we have to fight here I know no one is perfect but I hate when people say they want tp be like JESUS to me I want to be better than jesus not in the sense of being held a a god or anything but if you strive to be better than Jesus than you might end up meeting his critieria. Its like when you have a older brother or sister who you look up and try to beat at everything in the end it willl make you that much better. Im going on Haitus for a while until the end of August so I can Search the Game in depth some more, I just want to be the one who comes out and knows the game inside out so i dont get cheated. Have a great weekend and I hope everyone makes smart decisions, my teacher used to say One bad decision can ruin your life, think about your actions. Im Out of The Shoe Box.
Despicable Me (Theme Song by Pharrell)
I want to see this movie, Im like a Cartoon and Animated Movie Fanatic.
