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.

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.

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!

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!

Changes

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

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!

It's been a long time...

So it's been a while, but I'm back sirs and ma'ams... I had a very long, very crazy, very Akron break off from school. I enjoyed it though, I havent had a good time on any break in a long while and I'm happy that I had it and it was spent w/ Scoot!
Relationships are hard to manage. You have to learn that person, evaluate if you REALLY wanna be with that person, figure out what that person does for you, be willing to back down and let the other person have their way, put your foot down, learn rime-management skills, shoot a deer, etc. It aint easy being in Love.

Miss you BK!

Life changes...

No words...just pix today,
Love YngWyne

Memories...

Age 1 or 2? I'm the light skinned one.

Age 5 or 6? I still look like this.

'Tis The Season!

I'm on a good level right now,
Thanksgiving bout to go wild,
Christmas, New Years, Imma be in style

I work for the future and I live for the weekend

Last night was a scene outta Clueless, nigga version. Take it how u wunna. It was the scene from the valley, but instead of the Valley, it was Downtown Cleveland.
So I went over Jeff's and chilled wit him for an hour or two. He needed help picking out something to wear. The van pulled up front carrying onboard Ali, Ish, Ari, and TJ from Cleve. The drinking commenced...Sweedish Vodka and OJ on the way to Cleve. When we pulled up in the P-Lot, guess who was getting out of the car w/ bestie. (Alrite) then immediatly I'm called fake cuz im not jumping up and down. I let Jeff use my 19 yr-old ID and I used my 28-Yr-Old one. All nine of us walked in together. I waited by the door for everybody to getin, Guess Who was last in line. Don't know why I waited cuz Who wasnt payin me no attention. (hmp..?) So I found a seat w/ Jeff, got a long island, smoked w/ Ari and saw Who outside. I found out they know eachother, drama...and I'm gunna end this story early, long story short I end up just taking care of somebody who drank too much for their b-day, missing a chance to chill wit WHO, finding out Who used to tlk to someone I used to Tlk to, and further realizing how fucked up this lifestyle is and how great I am at holding my liquor.
watch this scene its classic, don't judge me:



In other news, Beyonce has some human in her, she shows her human side at the end of this performance. She's a cyborg now and a little less of a robot. Watch:

Let's go back to '96 and do '97 all over again

Sunday Morning...suddenly fell in love with this song.


I'm goin through these situations...nice lunch date w/ Ari today. We ate Indian food at Aladins...I might go out in CLeveland tonight...I miss Beth Pollack's presence...I need a life...I love Beyonce's drive, and I need some of that...Jeff lives down the street from my mom now, thats just retarded...I'm walking down there ina few...I can't wait for M.I.A. to drop that baby...I miss BK everyday...I can tell Toya anything and she'll give me advice, but I complain a lot and I'm a punk lol...Avery's a frat boy...Me and Jarel are coming back to a common place...Rob is pissin me off daily...I need to get my SHIT together...My mom can't sing...I can't wait to get a car...I quit smoking weed...hopefully the more i say it the more I'll believe it.

It's a new Day

We wake up every morning, and what's the first thing on our mind?
For me, sometimes it's "Lord thank you for waking me up on this glorious
morning!" Sometimes it's, "Damn, I'm late." or "why didn't he call back?"
Life is a funny funny thing. You have to grab it by the horns and take command.
Be more powerful than you thought you were yesterday, because today is a new day. A
New beginning, a renaissance, a rebirth.

So I got this paper due on Wednesday. We're researching scholarly journalism articles. My subject is: The Growth/Populaity of New Artists through Blogs. Obvliously, this will have to be tewaked b/c that's so specific and I'd have to write that article before i find one about it.
*Also, I have to write a 200 word essay in Espanol about how my ancestors immigrated to the U.S., why they did, and how they liked it. Umm...the concept of this essay is coo. "Yay, history!" but the fact that I'm descended from slavery is really fucked up, and its funny that I have to write this essay. I dunno. Love Spanish tho.

Back to the subject of spreading the word about new artists...Here's my newest Imeem creation. I call it Indie Label.



"Ro, Ro, Ra, Ra, Roger! Do you hear me, over?!" Frickin' Loooove...that Tic Toc track. MGMT got a nice little song in Kids. I see it becoming popular, It'll be in a skittles commercial soon enuff! Thanks Andy. I hated that song the first two times i heard it, but for some reason, it's special to me.
And I still love rap so...here's The Billion Dollar Bailout
