Hello, It's me Again

So...Junior year...woo yeah...
It's going pretty well so far. I live with 4 pretty cool people whom I didn't kow prior to moving in. The cool part about that is none of us knew eachother, so we're all learning each other at the same speed.

That pic is hanging on the wall above the entertainment center.

Other than that...I've been writing for the Daily Kent Stater this semester. That has kept me pretty busy, and has made my Spanish suffer. I'm already behind in Spanish class. Latin dance class is rediculious...I like dancing, but for 2 and a half hours with no break in a non-air conditioned room with no windows with sweaty strangers is no good. That was a run on sentence, but I dont give a care.
Here are links to 2 of my stories:

(no time for tinyurl, I'm rushing)

Other than that, BallKid lost all kinds of respect from me. In short, I will never be thirsty again.

HOLLA!

My Debut Single

Ok,
So I've always had this hidden agenda to be a DJ someday. When I was asked to do the music for Ashley's make-up scene in a fashion show she's doing (Saturday). I jumped at the chance. This is the final mix. and I hope you enjoy.

The Name is EseHombre, I live my life different-lay!

Soca Tcheca Vol. 1 - Ese Hombre

I am not a One-Trick Pony

Do I look high?

"I wish I could fit myself in my pocket, and tie myself to a rocket, and send myself to outer space, I wish I had a different face...I wish my life was a little less seedy, why am I always so greedy?" -Lily Allen, "Cheryl Tweedy"

In my tavels I have found that it's better to be a happy, easy-going person. You make more friends that way, not to mention the fun you'll have.

"Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react."
"Always question authority"
"In order to BE fierce, you have to KNOW you're fierce. In order to KNOW you're fierce, you have to BE fierce."
These three quotes have helped my life and my confidence, tremendously.

I can't wait for this year to start, I'm shitting on everybody.

A mix I made for Sat's Show

I'm putting it here to make sure I have mad back-ups. This, I guess, is me being a DJ.

Saturday Mourning.

I'm sitting here @ work, Looking like a jerk
(You're a jerk, You're a jerk!)
Outside, my gas tank's on E
Wanna hop in my car so I can be free.
But the little bit of gas I got won't get me far.
Gettin broker everyday just because I have a car.
I wanna take a trip across the world, but I got no funds
So I'm runnin round like a squirel trynna get a nut
They say Africans live in tiki huts, some do, but some
livin in homes like king tut.
They made their money off of exploiting the impovrished
kindda like a crack dealer in my hood. On some real ish.
I really like that song by Nina Sky called 'On Some Bullshit'.

Dawn in Melbourne - Kayta Hackman

Don't you love a good collaboration? Especially when it's a GOOD one. Well Diplo+Switch got together and came up with the concept of a Jamaican super hero, and birthed was Major Lazer. The epitome of a man: Funky, schizophrenic, club-friendly, potheaded, Auto-Tuned, a father, and a womanizer. It's Diplo giving the people what they want and Switch giving us Americans an out of body experience. We're Major Lazer's fans singing his praises as we shake and gyrate in a Jamaican dance-hall. Major Lazer keeps the creepy, rhythm less, blood-sucking vampires aweigh.

InSPIRaTion

I'm looking for INSPIRATION...for the magazine and the photoshoot. The flyer I made encompasses the way I want the mag to look. These are a few examples of things that inspired the theme and the plan of execution.


Maya's Kala album art.


Alex Wek and her fabulous dark skin and African Features (I need more girls like this).



Dashikis and Kente...And I want all the dark skinned little girls of the world to grow up thinking that they're beautiful.

I had one more pic, but the comp is jacked up I'll upload it latro.

Uhuru

So I've been neglecting this blog like nobody's business, but today is a great day to update.
1st of all...I'm single and it's Summer. 2 innocent aspects of my life that when combined can be very dangerous. 2nd...I have eczema on a few parts of my body and it's making me angry. These past 4 weeks have been very interesting. Besides breaking up w/ Ballkid, I've been trying to get my mind right. I took a trip to Columbus to see Angelo and Will. I came out to Will officially, which was a little less climactic than I thought it would be. He already knew. So...I'm officially happy with things b/c that weight of stress has been taken off my shoulders. The rest of that weekend was cool. I got a chance to talk business with Will's mom and dad. They're trying to figure out a way for me to work for their business. I may be blogging for them or something. The conversation was so deep. I talked about some of my goals and how I don't want to work for anyone but myself. I'm really starting to see how this could be possible.
Uhuru Drama has been plaguing me. I missed my interview...It's a long story, but just know that it wasn't totally my fault. So I lost a little bit of the steam I had going in regards to working on the magazine, but my recent move back to Kent has helped put me back on track. I don't have things like photoshop at my mom's crib.


WE ALSO REALLY REALLY NEED A WEB DESIGNER!

i'M TRYING TO BECOME ONE OF THOSE, MYSELF. I just need some practice.

That's all for now. Luv y'all!

Lauyrn Hill>She got a lot to Say.

No need to say how deep I think this song is, but Lauryn is speaking the truth. Her approach is real. It may be a little too real for people to understand. They understand from the hood state of mind, and her words are scholarly. I guess scholars need to hear this the most.

Flo Rida is being set up

I'm not a fan, but I gotta look out for my fellow brotha and shine a little light on something weird. Someone is posting a lot of stuff on youtube with the titles of his songs and really songs done by others. I mean, I'm doin a research project and I need to hear one of his songs, and these guys are making it harder than it has to be.



I do like this song tho.

Smoosh- Promises

Smoosh...2 adolecent white girls who make good music.

20 Promises - Smoosh

I'm sorry I made the decision I did. This is just too stressful and inconsistant for me to deal with on top of school and all the other goals I have. What are your goals? You never made that list. We had good times, and I love you and the way you love me. I just can't help but feel selfish. You LOVE me and are IN LOVE. I am just simply in this trying to make it work. I love you too, but not how you love me. And for a while I was just sitting back enjoying the love I was recieving. I can't do that to you. You don't deserve it. I dont know what else to do...

I Need a Tattoo/Easter Sunday

I love Rihanna's "Cute Skull" tattoo. Rob and I sat in Empire Ink and came up with a tattoo for me, It;s great but I can't tell you what it is until I get it.

So I got my lip pierced...If there is anything I'm learning from this experience it's that I won't ever get anything else pierced again. And it's my lip. I went for the gold on thsi one folks. I mean, once the healing stage is over I'll be fine adn once I get a stud I'll be fine. This hoop is so big and bangee!

Easter was nice...I saw a lot of family. It's so weird going around everybody as an adult. I mean I'm grown now and I've been changing a lot from my teenage and childhood ways. I dont work, I have crazy hair, I don't play sports, I have a lip ring, and I'm weird. I think my younger cousins can look up to me, I'm defionetly different from all their other older cousins, but they never see me. I'm really far removed from my family in a lot of ways.

I was driving by the cementary on Mapel St. today and I saw a girl standing at the gate, staring into the graveyard with sorrow all over her face. the way she leaned up on the gate and held onto the links showed that she was really longing for the person she was thinking about to be alive again or at least "ok." Something told me to go into that cementary and look for my grandma's plot, but when I got inside it was so big and there were so many gravestones that I didn't know where to start. Plus, it was a little creepy being in a cementary all alone. It was a beautiful day, though. I called my mom and asked her if she knew where her mom was burried, but she couldn't remember. So I paid it.

I went to church this morning. I'm proud of myself.

Wesley Pentz (Diplo)

Diplo noun (Dip'lo)-
A Rare Form
World-Wide DJ All-Star
Producer of "Paper Planes"
M.I.A.'s Ex-boyfriend
Made Decent Radio/Hollertronicks

All in all, a sweet ass person. Other than working with M.I.A., he's worked with Santigold, Three '6 Mafia, etc. His podcast "Mad Decent: Worldwide Radio" is sick. You can hear mash ups of Erykah Badu and Busta Rhymes over a Led Zeplin bass line mixed with some Baile Funk beats. I love this guy! He's coming to Cleveland on the 18th and you best believe I'll be in the house!

Cassie's Cut

O so randomly, Cassie got a new "cut." It's almost like a Kelis or Rihanna cut, but it's her normal long hair on one side and flat out bald on the other. I almost was feeling it, but then I started thinking about things a little more.
First, She had the nerve to do this. period. Second, She's Cassie! she's too pretty to do dumb things to her appearance for publicity. I mean isn't it her looks that got her this far anyways? Third, she had the audacity to keep it long on the hairier side...CUT THAT [Expletive]! It looks bad, but maybe I just need to see it done or something...i dunno.

Got it 2 days ago totally on the humbug...SHit hurt. And it still does.

yes...kanye!

The Denim Shirt Pix

I know,they're mostly of my face. But don't act like you don't like it, Bitch!

My Current Stress Stratus

Yes, I meant Stratus!

So I'm 20. Yeah, it was pretty anti-climactic. I mean, i didn't expect fireworks to spray from my loins or anything. I think that when I was a mere pre-teen i thought 20 would bring riches and joy. As I grew older, I guess I thought it would bring a new found sense of self or a higher level of maturity, but all it brought was nothing. I mean I'm thankful and everything, but I turned 20 and ate an ice cream cake.

I did make some new goals, tho, which is great:
I want to start up a DJ company by 2011.
I'm going to take some summer classes @ Tri-C this summer.

These things will happen.



So right now I'm juggling a relationship, relationship problems, researching for this DJing thing, learning Spanish, classes, getting my journalistic life back together, and breaking up with BUS. All of these things are happening and they're causing me to have sudden urges to find the nearest window and jump. PLUS, wait listen to this, PLUS, my roomate whom I was supposed to be living with again next year bailed out on me for reasons unknown, and now I have no idea where I'm goign to live next year. I'm checking out cardboard boxes...jk. I'm staying optimistic. I think I see myself in Korb or McDowell.

I quit weed again on Friday. I'm already twitching, but I'm going to see how long I can go. Hopefully far far.

K, Bye!

The Denim Shirt

So me and Scoot took a trip to Ak this Saturday to goto Lazer Quest. Yea, I'm a dork. And what would have been an otherwise quirky, fun date turned all bad when I said I was gunna make my codename the ex-boyfriend's name. Oops.

But before that mishap we went to the mall. And there it was sitting all alone at the Gap. A denim shirt. Lol. Hell yeah! I got it. It's sexy, It's comin back. Get ready!

This is where I got the idea...(this should be a fucking M.I.A. fansite, Jeeze).

This is what I look like when I put it on. Damn, I should have a pic.

K, Bye!

No Point. Just a Post

Swagga Like Us, Swagga, Swagga

Say NO to Uggs!

There's something I've been wanting to get off my chest for about a year and a half now...and now that winter's over I can finally say it. UGGS ARE OUT OF STYLE, LATE, UGLY, AND A DUMB PURCHASE. next year, SHIT even this summer! I don't want to see another girl wearing a pair of Uggs. I WILL say something to you if this happens. I just hate seeing so many people being so unoriginal. She has on Uggs, so you have on Uggs, and all your friends are wearing them out tonight? This is ridiculous! I can't take it no more! Black, white, Asian, Latino! I better not see you wearing a pair of Uggs or I will be forced to tell you you're a lame and you're tacky.

Thank you!


NO NO NO NO NO NO

Kayne's New Girl got more ass than her fellow models

They're Cute 2gether right?

She's very talented.

She wanted that pic so bad, right?

We'll see how long it lasts. TMZ said, "How can she be so clothesless?!" I thought that was great. anyway. Shout out to Jill Poole @ ridesallyride.blogspot.com. she did a feature on me last week.

Grammys + The Smack Down

Last night was the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. I was highly disappointed when Robert Plant and Alison Krauss kept stealing Grammys from deserving artists. "Paper Planes" lost Record of the Year to these two randoms. Then I was mad when "Swagga Like Us" won in the category where M.I.A. doesn't count, and lost in the category where she gets writing credit to "Lollipop"! PISSIN ME OFF.
EYNAK & ELLETSE
KANYE & ESTELLE
This was a nice part of the Grammys. I like Estelle's swag, very subdued, classy and flirty.

A.I.M., EYNAK, Z-YAJ, I.T., 'LIL ENYAW
M.I.A., KANYE, JAY-Z, T.I., LIL' WAYNE
VERY STEALER PERFORMANCE M.I.A.! She came a loong way from Sri Lanka.




Few hours before...
THEN
Did you know...Chris Brown beat Rihanna down? They were leaving the Pre-Grammy party Saturday night, when I was out kicking it when he I guess got it poppin on Rihanna's forehead. A witness called the police "Chris Brown just kicked Rihanna's ass." he was arrested, and bail was set at $50,000 (LA made that money). He posted and now he has to do some major PR and she has to make an album about how she overcame domestic violence...it'll make MILLIONS...not to mention the tell-all book. U go Rihanna. Gettin beat up was the best thing you've done since get that hair cut.
