I love the X-Games, to the point I actually hold my breath whenever one of these psychotic athletes take an unscripted faceplant from 40 feet in the air, followed loyally by whatever contraption they chose to eject themselves from at the last possible split-second. It's one of the true genuine sports left. While these athletes are sponsored, they honestly do this for love and push their bodies to unprecedented limits for nothing more than the glory. Anthony Napolitan first BMX double frontflip. Witness!



He didn't win the competition but whatever.

So you've done it all to your jeans right? Shrinking, honeycombing, stacking, fading some sick designs into your raw selvage, cuffing all the way up to your crotch, yadda yadda et cetera. Well, I present to you Powersliding, a no nonsense, no extra-equipment-needed extreme sport. Just a well padded butt, and some quality denim will have you filling out insurance forms to your heart's content.

1. Tumblr.
So amidst the hundreds of social networking sites that probably popped up in recent memory, Twitter was the main one that caught my eye ... until I discovered Tumblr. Simple, to the point ... I loved it. My favorite Tumblr'r? None other than Travis McCoy.


2. Anderson Cooper.
Now me being a journalism major, I have a certain affinity towards REAL reporting, which is exactly what Anderson Cooper, the best anchor at CNN, is doing. (that was a lot of commas lol). AC is reporting from Israel, while he could be sitting at home in his comfy studio reporting. Stay safe.


3. Lakers. 30-6. 'Nuff said.


4. Notorious.
"If you don't know, now you know." Immortal! My favorite rapper's favorite rapper ... and your favorite rapper's line-grabber's movie is finally coming out this Friday. I'll be going to see it Saturday, but will be awaiting a review from Mr. Londoner ... you gotta do this one! I've heard good things about this movie, and I admit I'm a little biased being a HUGE Biggie fan, so I can't wait to finally go see it.


5. TheHundreds photography.
I know I've referenced them before, but that was just the clothing aspect ... but seriously, what makes TheHundreds one of my daily reads is the awesome photography on display over there.

KATC look back at the Jordan line and give background history on each shoe and Micheal Jordan's illustrious career.



I'll give £500 to anyone that can find this stockroom and get me a pair of every shoe in UK7/US8.

Claude have mercy!

In honor of the new layout (fresh!) here's a brand new list of 5 Things I like right now ...

1. I actually wanted to do something like this, but I have to admit, dude does it waaaay better. Props given where props are due. Over at www.leaders1354.com, there's a daily(?) series called WhatDidTyWearToday. Always has on some fresh stuff. Definitely check it out.


2. I've been reading this blog for about a month now, and love the eclectic taste in music. More towards your club/electro type, but they always post fresh music.


3. For the Steven Spielberg in all of us ... there's this weird little quirky site where you can make your own movie. Their tagline is, "If you can type, you can make movies." Lol, interesting ...

4. I love this guy's pictures. They always capture the vibe of the party/setting he's at ... and the people are usually fly. Definitely one of my weekly haunts.

5. Lakers are 14-1. 'Nuff said.

Been gone for awhile ... family issues and such.

However, I'm back! With a new computer and new list of things that I. Am. Feeling.

1. Okay, so I'm super late on Asher Roth. I honestly just figured he was another "spur-of-the-moment" rapper ... until I heard him on "Change Gon' Come" with Charles Hamilton and B.O.B. After downloading his mixtape, "Greenhouse Effect", I am officially feeling Asher Roth's music. (thanks to 2dopeboyz.com for the link!)

2. The Award Tour lookbook. This is definitely my style of clothing.

3. Lakers are the only undefeated team in the NBA. MVP! For KB!

4. Streetlights by Kanye. I know a lot of people who aren't getting this album. I personally am, but I'm an album collector anyway. This song though, is so nice to me. Perfect for late nights thinking about that special person lol. Good luck trying to find it on the internetz. If you can't, just hit me up. I won't be posting it on the blog.

5. This interview on someone I had never heard of before.
