the V.D.O. post

It's been a while since i've done an exclusive video's post. Here's some stuff that ive found recently. Personally, i find all of them worth while in that they all have something special about them, whether it be visually, aesthetically, or through subject matter. Enjoy and have a great week.

Yo. I hope y'all are doing bueno. Not much to share tonight in terms of what's been happening. Life's been good. Slowly but surely things are getting done and moves are being made. There's a sorta-special announcement i'll be making in the next few days.
Here's another good football related '30 for 30: The Two Escobars' It's gonna be on ESPN Classics tonight.



While we're on the subject of football, i'd like to point out that the U.S. not only tied to England but also finished our group ahead of them with the first spot. So next time a bloke gives you a hard time for calling it "soccer" just lay out the facts.

I have no idea if it was shown in the U.S., but MTV Canada did a special on Drake, 'Drake:Better Than Good Enough'. It's a good insight on the man behind the music. Whether you like his music or not you have to respect him as an artist.

Still dunno how or why she makes me feel like this.

I feel really dummy right now cause i just consciously waisted a hour or so of my life. Bahh Humbug.
Dunno about you but ive always wanted to be apart of the Nike Corporation in some way, shape, or form. Levi Maestro was lucky enough to get a pretty exclusive tour of their headquarters.
Last night i found this video by Sam Cividanis of the production company, Doom Raider Mob. The editing and music are proper class.

It's all just routine now.

I'm really tired right now, and i cant decide whether i should start this post with "Hey" or "Yo." It doesn't matter now so problem solved. It hasnt been easy finding enough time to put up new music this week, since i've started working again. Work mixed with procrastination/laziness usually takes up my entire day.
Check out these two site's. The first is 'The Creators Project' which is a web series about different artists and the technology they use. It's extremely interesting.
The next site is http://www.vbs.tv/. If KCET (PBS) was adopted by an indie father and hipster mother this is what it would be like.
I also found a couple of good videos:
Eminem on the Jonathan Ross Show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvaCzeqfw8g
Sasha Vujacic on 'Sport Science' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhS5F7ubJs

Birthday shout outs to DK and Shariff! ! ! ! ! Shout out to the L.A.-to-Irvine crew. Shout out to Topacio and Cory.
It's Monday morning, have a great week.

Dont you just love how suddenly everyone loves soccer?

As you all know, the World Cup kicked off yesterday. I cant describe how happy and excited i am. Finally, after 4 years the pinnacle of sports is here. I only wish i could be participating in it but 'ehh, all you can do is dream and make sure you dont miss a second of the action. Obviously, there's gonna be a ton of soccer (call it what you want) stuff all over the internet so here are some of the more interesting things i found.

Here's the entire U.S. World Cup t.v. schedule till June 25th. All time are eastern.

This is a really interesting timeline of Maradona's life. I learned a lot about him.

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" did an amazing feature on soccer league on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. It's a MUST - SEE!!!
