So we were just hanging out as a fam, me my bro, and two of my moms good friends from work, going out to explore Las Vegas.

...And man was it crazy! Fremont Street is where Snoop Dogg's "Signs" video was shot for people who didn't know...it felt like things haven't changed a bit since then. Even though we didn't do much, there was a lot going on were we were, and it just seemed to me that everything was flowing: the random but enjoyable free shows & events were there, casinos, the right music was bumpin, I was enjoying the moment.
-And I really wanted to hit up some places advertised on the radio; some high-end parties were going on. Unfortunately, I didn't have the crew [or the $$$ or time lol] so I finished the evening playing late night basketball at 24 Hr Fitness with the bro. The cut came on the radio ["She Got A Donk"] and my mom was cuttin' up; she was out there in the parking lot dancing, lol- I got it on video, but I'm a not embarrass her like that, lol. Anyway, we get in there, and my brother Cam, who is ONE NASTY BASKETBALL PLAYER, if i might add, just 13 yrs old, is taking on grown men [and winning no problem]- like cats my age or still in HS. you gotta watch him in the future...I'm a go in there one day and vid him cause that's where he lives; besides the school court or our house when it's not football season.


(when i get an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, or whenever somebody will let me use their computer, i'll put together a legit video of ALL the footage & some shows, this is just a teaser.)

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funny!
Happy Holidays Everyone and CHEERS to a good New Years!



....And if you're wondering what started the whole game: The Diss.

Starring:
Lupe Fiasco as "Blitzen"
KRS-One as "Kris Kringle a.k.a. Santa"
Kobe & Lebron as "themselves' [lol]



Blitzen Boasts!



Santa Speaks Out!

Hahaaaaaaaaaaaa;

so in hopes of getting some extra "moolaah" for christmas, the fam decides to send us out to check the mail, hoping that something came in for the other family members...basically i give you a tour of my new found apartments, and in return, my brother and I find out hard it is to get in [and out] of places over here...plain and simple: we were locked out of everything. lol

This was in response to everyone whom i talked with that asked me how everything was going out in Lass Vegas.

SO, whether you're in WA, or CA, or IL, somewhere where it's snowing or wet or anywhere that i'm not right now and wanna know how i'm doing, this is for you. =]
Enjoy!



(and yes, I do need a haircut. =P)

Sooooooooooo;

The brother & I are messing around after putting up our christmas tree days before that day, and one topic lead to another....and then we came to Jerkin'. soooo, of course we had to hit you with this video, lol....

yo so this is Entry # 1 of My Christmas break in Las Vegas, nothing much but showing off the new house so...

....its nice aint it? and so its the tree. =]
F.Y.I.: this is for all the fam, that wanna come see the place now that we live somewhere exciting, lol - just a preview.

WOW.
So this took a chunk out of my finals week for studying, but it was a good chunk well spent [if that just made any sense, lol]. it was held downtown at the Westin Hotel -the funny story behind our journey there was our bus ride with an absurdly drunk man with comments about my hair and the girls I was with; harmless, but nonetheless funny, lol- and offered us freshmen as well as a couple HS students I knew from the Young Executives Of Color (YEOC) program, and of course older student and the Grad kids. We had to build a tower as a part of the seminar in competition with the other groups, but I forgot to take pic, so sorry world! And once again, I had to put my "dining etiquette" learned in YEOC [and reiterated in ALVA] at the banquet, were I got to meet some pretty powerful people, including the CEO of Alaska Airlines and the Man behind the business that won The Local minority business award as well as the national award for it too. It was a good night.
