$.\/\/.@.Y Fam




Alright everyone these are my three homies at skool that I kick it with there are a couple more who are on here yet but eventually will be, anyway this is the SWAY Family, its more like a brother hood. Not a Cliq or CLick or any thing of that sort. We are 4 homies who happen to meet each other and keep it real kinda like Entourage and we all dont even hang out all the time like that Im usually over at Brandons and Dev's doing accounting playing Wii and I see Tarek every now and then because his a busy man always on the go. I can say about these three dudes is that they keep it REAL as much as possible especially my man Tarek. We all sumtimes go on midnight runs to Taco Bell or to KD's house. Anyway these are the homies, shout out to SWAY ALL DAY

REAL

In College and being out in the world there are alot of people who are still hesitant to always tell the truth so they dont. Alot of people feel that its not nice to be completely REAL and I begg to differ I feel like there is always a way to be as REAL as possible you just have to go about doing it. I feel like alot of people dont understand becuase I am real. I mean dont get me wrong being real can come off ass a jerk or arrogant or ignorant but there is always a way of doing it. I try hard to teach those around me by being an example. If I just talked about anyone in a negative way I will let them know myself. I feel its the only way for people to understand what being REAL is. So on that note I am going to continue to do what I do, but people if you are reading this post just be honest and not lie or talk behind peoples backs and dont try and hang out with the "popular kids" to feel kool. Just be yourself. Its REAL.

Taken it Slow...


...Is what Im doing right now. My friends are always telling me Im gonna be great I just have to be patient until my success is coming. I have known that since I found out who I was int his world. The team and I have a long long long journey ahead of us, and step by step we will get to where need to get to. A wise man once said Patience is a Virtue. I am being patient lettin the lord work out the kinks and nicks in the hairline of life. If I am rushin evrything I will continually be depressed. People around me are like starting to become successful and get their projects moving and what not and Im like man, I gotta hurry. But now I realize its all in good timing. I guess the ones who become far greater have to wait and learn more before they back flip into the end. So I am gonna take it slow like DJ Screw music in H-Town. Who knows The man upstairs may have me be greater than what I even expect.

You would think they would put these cars on the streets instead of wasting money on concept cars.
Dope tho.




Ladies in the Jacobs


One of my favorite fashion influences, American sportswear, is about to go into high gear for spring 2010, and that fact makes me so happy I could cry. This Marc by Marc Jacobs hooded terry jumpsuit pretty much epitomizes the trend. What could be more perfect for travel and casual hanging out? Nada I tell you!

Stoners



Stone Island Shadow began as a discourse between sportswear company owner and creative director Carlo Rivetti and the design team of Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh, also known as Acronym. A platform for exploration, the shadow project rapidly evolved into a system based program for a new generation of urban masculine apparel. With both Stone Island’s incredible historical archive, and its unparalleled forward development resources as a starting point, Acronym sought to conceive a project according to their strong technical and performance based roots. The result is a unique and unprecedented fusion. A fresh and intelligent new light cast upon the timeless interplay of form and function. Calling the project Shadow underlines the intimate relationship and interaction between this work and the full body of the Stone Island Collection.
Buoyed by the ongoing research and development of it’s four previous seasons, the fifth Stone Island Shadow capsule resurfaces with newfound richness and character. Holistic and truly contemporary, the collection continues its investigation of identity, use, and systems through the marriage of new aesthetics and proven technologies. A nimble and worldworthy ship whose port of call could only be the harbor of futurity that is Stone Island. Through the use of compound treatments and multiple effects, fabrics and garments are invested with uncommon dimensionality and sophistication. Surface becomes depth as the senses perceive treatment upon treatment and effect upon effect. Patterns map dynamics, treatments reveal structures, and colors deepen contrasts in a way that both obfuscates and rewards. The strength of stone island shadow is its ability to thrive at all points possible, and its resistance to being pinned down at all.

Stevi Darden:letter to my unborn son .

"my promise-wrapped potential ,


my son . i want you to come into the world with big hands . i want you to enter the world with people in your palms . nothing will be too big for you to grasp because i love you . prejudice and apprehension will be mere roaches on the ground for you to step on towards success . your skin color is not a burden son, but instead a metal of honor & a medal of honor . . . please wear it as such . Embrace Black because it's more valuable than you think . i want you to crush the fear of failure with your thumb . with the other four fingers, i want you to help others when they have fallen . you can do this because i love you .

my son . i don't care what your passion is in life . you can be a movie director, a doctor, a photographer, a writer, a garbage man, electrician, advertiser, artist, politician, chef, teacher, cure cancer, legalize marijuana, or start your own clothing line . the only thing you cannot be is a fool . know that knowledge is the key to wisdom, and wisdom is the key to contentment . sigh . i WILL give your first three girlfriends a hard time ... because by the forth, there is a chance that you JUST might get it right . no one will be good enough for my little boy up front . i will embarrass you with some childhood nickname , but i hope it will humble you lol . i'll probably scream terribly loud at any of your sport events & make you blush when i send your dad to talk to you about sex [the ins & outs & in betweens] . i want you to take the world by storm ... because i love you .

you will treat women with respect . you will remember that every girl is some one's daughter . me and your dad will show you how to treat women because that is the backbone to a man's compassion, a man's heart . i'm sure you will go through your 'player stage' and stick your chest out when you get facial hair . ill laugh . oh, i want you to lose your sense of time . chivalry is the undying element of the earth and no 'trends' or 'fads' will stop you from being an individual . mamma didnt raise no follower ! you wont be here until many MANY years from now (lol) but ultimately, i'll make sure that your soul is tattooed with a sense . . . of h u m a n i t y for the world. you will take responsibility for your place in the world as a Black man because i love you . because i love you already .

you will probably hear me and your father arguing when youre an infant, but we love each other . dont worry, it's just that neither one of us want to wake up at 4am to change your diaper :)"
