Honorable Mention

I'm in the process of moving so there's been no time this weekend to put together a post. But i did find a great track today and it's been on repeat for half the day. I figure this might keep your ears happy until the next post.

41 - 20

So i was pondering, something that i do every now again, and i came to two realizations. The first was that, in my experiences, a couple of references towards God and people will deem you "religious" and may slightly outcast you yet if you watch TMZ every night and read gossip magazines to keep tabs on celebrities, most people find nothing wrong with that. The second was that many caucasian folks tan or want to get darker yet there's a stigma towards brown and black people within our society. What's interesting is that with in brown and black society, people with a lighter complexion are considered more attractive.
i have no intention of offending anyone or to make any generalizations. I'm just sharing some thoughts. I hope you all are well. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Featured Photography: Chris Alex Maragakis

Chris, better known as Dj ArsenalFX, is the latest featured photographer. Originally from Southern France, Chris has been settled in L.A. for the past few years. He's built quite a name for himself as a DJ in a short amount of time, spinning at some of the best clubs and venues. He's also an extremely talented photographer. After looking at and listening to his work, it seems that he is a master of two crafts. For more on Chris, visit http://www.ramartist.com/profile/ArsenalFX










Dj ArsenalFX recently released a new mash up, 'Drop the Knas & Dance it Up'. Put it to you this way, it's very appropriately named.
