long ass day in eugene

Every time i have ventured down into Eugene i seem to not have a good time. But the cycle has been broken!! Even though i was enduring some 14 hours of training on a solid 3 hours of sleep, i have found the real reason i enjoy Eugene.... The food!!! today i went to an amazing resturaunt called Sweet Basil. It is a Thai resturaunt that still puts out amazing food in a flash. The kitchen was in plain sight, and featured a two person rotation on the grills cooking up some seroius treats. I got a fat, flour noodle dish with fried tofu, lettuce, bean sprouts, broccoli, carrot and an amazing peanut sauce!!!! so good and as much as i cant afford it, i really want to go back tomorrow....

no new music, no new clothes, but a new perspective on how far i can go....... and the things that can be rexamined to reveal an amazing new discovery.

GAMMA RAYS VOL. 1

My new mixtape is here!!!!!! 

Its called Gamma Rays  vol. 1; spread the word!!

It is an eclectic blend of music, 
but a taste of what i have been listening to within the last few days. Let me know if you have any new songs, cds or artists that i need to listen to.

For those of you who love soulful music, check out BJ the Chicago Kid. I just listened to a cover of him singing Sam
 Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come," and I am blown away.... beautiful check the link after the jump

There is a huge movement in hip-hop, the revitalization of old school style and old school drum kits. The most prominent e
xamples are the Cool Kids, but there seems to be more than just one group like that. I just checked out the new Pacific Division track called Mayor
They bring the heat on this track so check it out!

Fashion
























Even though I have next to nothing for money i still love expensive, limited edition street wear brands, and i just took a look at Supreme's new line up.... check it out here


Much love, let me know how it is going!

ryan leslie!

for those of you who have yet to pick up the new Ryan Leslie CD..... do yourself a favor! The kid is an amazing pianist, singer, writer, producer, and overall an amazing musician, and i cant think of a better clip to show than this one here

After a few clips, you get the feeling that he is really a very talented person regardless of his musical style anyone who appreciates how hard he works! The best songs on his album proceed like this:
1. Gibberish
2. How It's Supposed to be
3. Addiction
4. Valentine
5. Wanna Be Good

but the rest of the cd is stupid good. 
[note: if you dont know how to torrent, dont worry, i will be posting some singles and bits and pieces that i find on the interweb.]

opening night!
