Last Weeks Movie Mayhem...

Wednesday -

Went to the Downer with the lovely ladies Annie and Kim! Man, I miss those girls. I always have such a great time with them. We saw the movie "Coco before Chanel." I have waited a long time for that move to come out so this was pretty exciting and overdue.
Annie came stocked with her own popcorn of course... but no sweet candy soda. ha! Looking around us, the theater was filled with paired up ladies whose age was ranging from 50 to 80 years. So cute... The french movie was subtitled and Kimmy, not wanting to read, thought it was it was too long. Although the film "Coco before Chanel" did not get very good reviews, Annie and I enjoyed it. Once you get into the movie you forget that you are reading... so... If you don't know the history of Ms. Chanel I suggest you go see it for a little background. :)

Thursday-

Went to the Majestic with another friend of mine that I haven't seen in a long time. JJ, gosh I haven't kicked it with him in years. It was real nice to see him for a bit. We picked to see "The Fourth Kind." Very interesting movie to say the least. Would I watch it again? Uhhh, No. Do I believe it... Yea right... ha!

The next days following text messages:

JJ: Are you still on planet earth or were you abducted?

Me: I don't know... I thought I saw a white owl in my dream last night, but I cant remember. I'm glad you are still alive today.

JJ: I'm pretty happy about not getting anal probed by aliens too.

Friday-

My homeboy Adam and I went to Hillside to see "Law Abiding Citizen." I love Jaime Foxx and Gerard Butler. This movie, by far was my favorite of last weeks movie mayhem. And with those two actors satisfying eye candy... ha... it all worked out. Action packed, a little unreal but still kept me on my toes waiting to see what was going to happen next. Adam jumped a couple times in this movie and considered it to be scary.... Hes a freak though. If you like Guy Ritchie films, no doubt you will like this.

David Garibaldi - Justin Bua?

Garibaldi
Bua


Garibaldi

Bua
I was at my friend Sean's place this weekend checkin out his new headquarters. I park outside this brick building in Milwaukee... kind of looks like a sweatshop but very vintage and gallant at the same time. I walk in to a crisp and clean place, there is no roughin around the edges to be found. His walls are white but decorated with art. Beautiful, kind of jealous... Above his comfortable couch with the red velvet blanket was a print that caught my eye. It reminded me of Justin Bua but that was not his signature on the bottom. I had asked Sean about these prints he had and he then called me over to check out some more paintings done by David Garibaldi.
I was always a huge fan of Bua and now im diggin Garibaldi too. They both paint on reflection to urban hip hop. Check it...

Imma Fireball, Baby

The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos.

A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. ~V. Vale and Andrea Juno, Modern Primitives


Tattooing is about personalizing the body, making it a true home and fit temple for the spirit that dwells inside it.... Tattooing therefore, is a way of keeping the spiritual and material needs of my body in balance. ~Michelle Delio

Your body is a temple, but how long can you live in the same house before you redecorate?

Your necklace may break, the fau tree may burst, but my tattooing is indestructible. It is an everlasting gem that you will take into your grave. ~Verse from a traditional tattoo artist's song, as quoted on pbs.org, "Skin Stories: The Art and Culture of Polynesian Tattoo," 2003

Nails like Whoah

Catering to the customers satisfaction by building the acrylic up instead of out is the talk. Pictured below is the new new by Hoa Bui at Ann's Nail Salon.
I heard this was the happening trend in Philly. I haven't decided how I feel about this yet.
I love the fact that these would set you aside from everyone else. They are different and the nail art is ill but I seen a lot of negative feeback on these bad boys.

Bubble Nails:
Unique...yes. Weird on a disturbing level... yes. Would I rock them... prolly. Could I really wear them... ughh, prolly not.

I want to know what you guys think about these. Ladies? Fellas?

Halloween @ Black Dragon

I stole this picture from KOOLFOOL.
I wish every Month was Halloween. What A fun day.

Daybreak Suckas

Well, I'm an early bird... I cant help it. As much as I want to sleep in, as much as I love counting sheep and catching Z's, it just wont work. My shuteye lasts for about 6 hours every night; no more no less. Last night I stayed in in hopes for amazing sleep and to rise at noon. Ha! I laugh to myself as today was the third day in a row I have been challenged with sleep deprivation and said, "Good Morning" at 4am. Unquestionably, I think it sucks, but there is something hellacious about getting up early. Yesterday, I got up and spent the first hour drinking coffee and browsing the Internet for items I would like to buy. I then baked brownies with a marshmallow center and a Godiva chocolate top(that shit was sooo good), followed by cleaning the house, doing laundry, giving my dog a bath, going for a run, and taking a shower. I left for work at 9:30am. Being productive: its a beautiful thing. Again, I awoke at the break of dawn. As I pushed the blankets off me, I felt the cold air creeping on my arms. It was so chilly! With goosebumps, I sat up and could see nothing but black for the sun doesn't rise for another two hours. I went downstairs to make some coffee thinking about how I wish I could go back to bed and then sat down to read some trash magazines. As I went to go pour my last cup of coffee I glanced outside to witness my favorite part of being an early bird. With the mornings pristine, I caught a glimpse of the first blush. The sunrise: So radiant, so sublime.
I took some pictures for those who werent lucky enough to catch it! I think that people need to take more time to realize what beauty in life can be. Indubitably, nature has its ways.

The Beat of Urban Art

I heart Justin Bua.
Every viewer can get a piece of culture and Urban Realism through this hip hop heads work. Through his distorted characters, Justin Bua creates a positive energy that flows with darker color tones and sets the mood. Emerging to the surface, he portrays stories of his life and invites us all in to relate to the passion, soul, and inspiration that drives him.
He represents a movement. His hip hop appeal is unique, stylish, and arresting. Justin Bua is the shit.
Can you feel it?

Are You for Real?

Dear Kool Fool,

As we all know, Megan Fox is ridiculously good looking, has some sense of style and some lovely tattoos. What we did not know is... that it is possible to airbrush the way Ms. Fox does in the movie Transformers?
What the shit?
That movie sucked.
Sincerely,
Shugar

I Know You Hear It, but... Can You Feel It?

I remember the first time I put these on my ears. It was a year ago in fact, I was in the apple store in the mall. I went there to replace my laptop charger and got a little sidetracked. There they were... the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre, sitting on the table with a sample ipod. My eyes were drawn straight in and I picked them up. As they comfortably gripped my ears, I grabbed the ipod and started browsing through songs. The sound was incredible, it's high-definition was crisp and clear. Standing alone in the store, I shut my eyes and felt the music. 5 minutes later, the sales clerk was tapping on my shoulder asking if I needed any help. I just smiled and replied, " No thank you, this is all I need." I walked up to the check-out line and was about to purchase these bad boys when I then got a glance of the price. $350.00.... REALLY? I thought to myself I better go home and do my research. I left the Apple store empty handed even forgetting my charger... Real Nice.
The reviews other people have on Beats by Dre are 50/50. Majority state that they are good headphones but not fair enough for the price. It has been a year and the price has dropped 100 bones at most places. Think its worth it now!?

Oh but wait....
Lady Gaga came out with Heart Beats! A fashionista sista with the same high-quality sound... hmm... This may be my shit.
