Way of living

This serves as inspiration to me...hope you can take from it too.


What you know about the running, the stretching
The cars, the weapons
The path, the journey
The jewels, the learning
The fear, the focus
The aches, the pains
The contact sparrin', the breaks, the sprains
The trial and error, the ranks, and belts
The spiritual growth, the science of breath
The tests, the techniques
The forms, the stances
The flow, the rhythm, the internal answers
The herbs, the healing, the quiet meditation
The truths reveal through daily dedication
The love for the art, the sweat on your shirt
The mind, the body, and the spirit that work
The feelings of failure, the hope to succeed
The battles of questions like "Should I smoke weed?"

The water, the thirst
The cleansing, the blessings
The flash of insights, the teachings, the lessons
The grappling and locking, trapping and boxing
The training and slacking
The starting and stopping
And stayin' committed, when your homies ain't with it
The hours or practice after the class is finished
The cause of your ignorance, flaws in your discipline
Broken laws of nutrition, and pork and dishin'
The vitamins and supplements
Salads and ointments

The kingships, pull joints in doctor appointments
The dues, the pads, the wraps, the gloves
The mouthpiece you left home, the taste of your own blood
The hunger, the blocks
The punches, the squats
The crunches, the example you set for the youngsters
The will, the skills, the kill or the hill
The separation between what's fake and what's real
The laws of physics, The class "comradery"
The vows of humility, the bow, the courtesy.

The Hawk

I have actually worn the Mohawk style for about 5 years. When my hair was natural, and later on when I got it cut. It has been seen as trendy more recently, but I can honestly say...its a normal style now. The 'hawk goes back years with Mr. T rocking it in the 80s to before then and is deemed a "rebel" style, which is why I always loved it so much. Whats so good, is that its been flipped so many times. You can see all versions of it done differently. Many will argue that since its trendy, its considered wack. I actually find the beauty in it, if its done right and healthy. I am back to my hair being in this style, and I love it. The complements keep me inspired and continuing to wear it like it is. I posted some pics of where I would like to take it. Enjoy.

Tinted Windows...

And more sunglasses...

These Chloe ones are super cute and have been spotted everywhere. I love see through frames on anything.

Cheetah Girl


Currently I am rocking these Betsey Johnson sunnies. I just adore them, and they have replaced my summer ones. The dark tint, cheetah print, and wayfarer frames are just too dope.

Ants in my pants!



LA based Grey Ant has came out with some dope sunglasses that have been see on folks like Beyonce and Pete Wentz. Now one of my fav stores, Akira, is carrying them. They are everyday wearable and chic. Gotta cop a pair asap.

Friggin' Adorable

Ok...I am a girl. So I do like some of the corny aspects of love...like matching outfits when going to Great America. Sike. Thats so '92. More like complementing either others styles. This pic of Kamber and their matching Jordan 3s has been floating around the internet. And I can't help but to dig it. I dug it so much, that an offer came up for me to get a pair of the highly anticipated Space Jam Jordans. May have to consider it.

Who do you love?

I was reintroduced to this song by a DJ friend...and fell in love with it all over again. Benard Wright "Who do you love" is an 80s classic. Such a classic that it was remade by a few artists. The video is cute and fun. And I loved Benards style in it. Enjoy!
