2 am and i'm still procrastinating.

I'm kinda tired so i cant formulate complete thoughts right now. I still havent been able to find something new and worthwhile for TLB and i dont want to but up a bullshit mix so a little more patience will be necessary. Incase you dont know, i run http://djyoshe.com/ so be sure to check it out cause there's a lot of great content, especially videos, on there. That's why i havent done any new video post lately. Anything i would've posted here is there. Lastly, on a much more serious note, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, help the flood victims in Pakistan. I cant begin to tell you how devastated the country is and how desperately people there need help. Go to PAKISTAN NOW's facebook page to find out about the current situation and how you can help.

Outlandish have released a track for those effected by the floods.

Featured Photography: Kenny Suleimanagich

It's been too long since the last photography post. Ive had a hard time finding photographer's who actually send you their work when they say they will. In case you forgot or are new to this, i like to feature amateur photographers on the blog. Luckily, last week i stumbled upon the work of a former schoolmate, Kenny Suleimanagich. Kenny's also a West L.A. local currently studying up north in San Fran. He's extremely talented with the camera, and each of his photo's tell a different story or capture the mood and feel of a particular time and place.

Ever Ready Records - Onslot - The Ferox

Ever Ready Records artist, ONSLOT dropped THE FEROX last month. Simply said, it is a MUST listen. The production is amazing, all 6 tracks will have you bobbing your head. What makes THE FEROX a must is it's lyrical content. Onslot's creativity with words and his unique perspective on the life and the world we live in, make for great poetry.
In case you missed it here's a repost of his first single, Now I Understand.

Check out the latest single, Hoping and Wishing as well as the rest of the album at http://onslot.bandcamp.com/. You can download the entire album at http://usershare.net/m7pbt7z4qeuv.

Shout out to everyone at Ever Ready. For more on ERR visit http://www.everreadyrecords.com/.

El Verano de 2010

This is unfortunate and obvious, but Summer is over. You could say that summer never came and that's not just cause of the semi frosty weather. A lot of folks i know have expressed that their Summer didnt go as they hoped. Dunno why, maybe it was something in the water. Or the economy. I figure it's easier to blame everything on the economy. After talking to my KidSister, i figure doing a post on my summer might be a koolio way to end things.
Not that you care, but i figure if you've read this far you might. At least, that's what i figure. Ill let you know now that if you're expecting to read about a prolific, epic, muy mucho mas grande-bueno extravaganza, this isnt it. My summer was a far cry from that, though there very some really good days, but i can only remember one of them right now. That's the good part of not remembering exactly, and everything that happened in the recent past. You forget about how bored you were and how much you didnt do. But maybe if it wasnt so dull youd remember more. Shit, i dont know.
The first 2 month's of summer were beyond uneventful. I literally slept anytime between 6-9 am, woke up in the late afternoon and played soccer in the evening. I'd stay up all night doing nothing. Lemme tell you it's amazing how much you can, not do at night. I'm pretty sure i can do less at night, sitting at home, then anyone i know. I'm that talented. Occasionally, i went to work for 8 to 10 hours a week. Try working that much. Seriously, try. You wont have money for diddley squat. I did get my favorite board back (thanks Bakir) and in July i started surfing again so that's been a super plus. I also started working on http://djyoshe.com/. It's going really well so be sure to check it out.
Dunno if you read it, but in the middle of July i came down with a cold. It was a bit of a doozey, especially cause my usual remedy of green tea/oj/3 sweaters and 2 pj's/blanket wrap didnt really work. A couple of people i know caught a cold this summer. Maybe this is cause of the climate issues we're having right now? Btw, make sure you recycle, mama nature really needs our help.
Thankfully, I picked up a second job in the last week of July. It saved my summer. I went from barely working 10 hours to working around 30 a week. I went from having nothing to do to having no time to do anything. I made enough money last month to catch up on half my bills. I'm super happy about this. I feel accomplished. Man-half-way-to-the-moon accomplished.
School's started and im still working both jobs. I really figure i have a lot to look forward to this fall. Didnt do much this summer but i think i learned a whole lot. It's kinda too early to know for sure. Lesson's learned but forgotten down the road dont count, so the verdicts still out. I'm tryna analyze what these past three months taught me but im drawing a blank. Simply, progression and efficiency feel good, even in baby steps. It's not that exciting. More that after too long i'm relieved. Lately i throw up a lot more thumbs up and whisper "bueno bueno" to myself every now and again.
A super shout out to my Mom, Pop, sister, Yamaj, DK, Deuse, Tal, Will, Bakir, Lamija, Stan, Jesse, Shariff, the Appleby's, Siraze and all the boy's from the Masjid. If i forgot to mention anyone dont get all butt hurt. Happy September.
