About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I dig all kinds of music, but ESPECIALLY OLD SCHOOL!
Like most everyone lately, I've been on YouTube kick. The clips of people clowning around & acting a fool are amusing, but, mostly, I like to check out all the throwback music vids on there. A lot of you probably haven't seen a bunch of them in a while (or ever), so, periodically, I'll drop a new one into rotation below for you to peep and throw some current tunes in every now & then to keep things current.
CL Smooth Joint of da Day
"Life is Too Short" by who else....the Short Dog
Seeing people nowadays starting to rock the gold dookie ropes, retro kicks & gear, etc. is pretty dope, but nothing beats an/the OG. Take a look & listen to this cut from when hip hop, fashion, etc. was all still real raw & pure. Check the lyrics too cuz this Bay icon spits some real knowledge.

If you want more random & possibly mildly interesting 411 on me........then check out my "I GOT 99 PROBLEMS..." blog entries/series for some of the what's-what.....CLICK ON "View All Blog Entries" above and look for em. I did 3 entries so far.

For the rest of you, just check this out for a little glimpse of what i'm about........
I'm just a regular dude that's seen & experienced a bit while being born & raised in the Bay Area, CA and living & rep'n LA ever since I first hit.
Recently, I've been laying low taking care of some things, but now I'm coming back out again & trying to make a few moves....nothing real major like some of the baller$ & $haker$ out there. I'm just trying to do me & make my way w/out too much fanfare, but I am here to network as well as catch up. So, maybe you will hear from or bump into me as I do my thing and try to make my way around.
It might sound corny, but I was brought up to treat people w/courtesy, respect, and, generally, in the same fashion by which I appreciate others treating me.
What's more, unlike some people, I don't feel compelled to knock or keep another person down in order to bring myself up. That type of behavior is real petty and immature. Most of us aren't out in the schoolyards or playgrounds anymore, so there's no need to act like we are.
I love to have to fun, laugh, & help others do the same too, as I do have a pretty decent sense of humor. (some people think so, anyways) Sometimes, my jokes & comments do tend to be a little sarcastic or dry, but most people that know me know better than to get twisted about what I might say or do sometimes....It's mostly just jokes. Again, I just like to have fun & laugh....do more of both & you'll live longer....REALLY, look it up! ;)
I know I'm not perfect myself, so I'm pretty understanding & forgiving when it comes to others. However, I just can not stand people that are habitually two-faced, contrary, conniving, or just mean-spirited. Life's just too short & precious for me or anyone else to get bogged down while dealing w/people like that.
Basically, I'm pretty easygoing, openminded & always down to have fun, but I can recognize when it's time to buckle down & get serious.
I have a bunch of interests & like to try new things, so I can mix it up & get along pretty well w/all kinds of people most of the time.
While I've always been good w/the chit-chat, sometimes, I just prefer to sit back, listen, & take it all in cuz, above all, I'm a student of life.

My Interests

Too many to list...here's a taste tho....being down for my friends+fam, meeting new people w/out a lota bad attitudes, helping others--incl. giving advice to kids cuz some don't have any1 to break things down & THAT AIN'T RIGHT (if you're 1 of those lowlives out there neglecting or mistreating kids, CHECK YOURSELF), continual self-education+being a career student of life,
GOOD EATS.....

nice scenery, quiet beaches w/clean sand/water/air, Carribean cruises,
SF BAY AREA (I took this pic!) LA VEGA$ NYC
anything+everything 80's,

I'm also into good flicks+tunes,
playing & watching hoops.....

GO LAKE SHOW !!!

Game Recognize Game--KB = BEST Guard in the L.....

"Warrior"
.. width="425" height="350" ..

"CHECK THE HATE Part I"
.. width="425" height="350" ..

And a few more interests of mine are.....stylish but unpretentious ladies that like to have fun & laugh,
CLEAN kicks....literally+figuratively....I have a few ;)
OG HUTCH Trick Stars, trying to kick $$$-pit hobbies, and all kinds of other substantial & superficial things. I like what I like, but I'm always open to try something new.

Oh, btw, did I mention that I like cars?? I'm down w/all types, but I especially dig clean-looking+FAST/QUICK rides (none of these bad boys are mine...YET..I'm working on it tho) ;) ......

I'd like to meet:

Friends that I've lost touch with over the years while we've all been moving around. If any of you are out there, get at me. It'd be cool to hear from ya & catch up a bit.

Besides that, I always like meeting new people & learning different things, so as long as you're not a psychopath, devil-worshipper, serial-killer, or the like, I'm down.

Like I mentioned up top, I'm also here to network & can mix it up w/most everyone, so if you have something to pu$h or just wanna say, "What's up," feel free to drop me a few quick+brief lines.

Oh, I'm also up to get w/anyone that wants to promote each other's projects &/or gigs/ventures from anyone in our line-ups.

To do that......

Well, thanks for stopping by & checking out my page.

Peace & all the best to you & yours!

Oh, one more thing.... this is gonna be a real longshot, but if somehow this comes thru, I'll be a true Myspace convert......

I'd really like to hook up w/anyone that can put me back in touch w/"Miss 4 train in NYC aka CeCe Cxxng"

I doubt you're on here, girl, but if by some weird coincidence you somehow found & are actually reading this, get at me. I know it's been forever, but I'm REALLY sorry...fell off the map & moved around it for a bit too...Raw fish is on me next time around.

Music:

a lot of old school (esp. 80's-90's jams), Hip/Hop+Rap, Freestyle/Dance, Modern Rock/New Wave/Alternative, Rock, Classical, Jazz, and even some bubble gum+Pop cuts, OG DJ Tony-O mixes+sessions, DJ "KERS" ;), DJ CA$H MONEY, DJ Joe Cooley, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Q-Bert, DJ SKEE (esp. Westsyde HYPE mixtapes), and I also really appreciate any & all DJ's that can lay down the sick cuts/scratches BUT can actually "mix" music (i.e. not just throw a bunch of 1/2 as#ed cuts or random+OFFBEAT songs together & call it "mixing or dj'ing")

Movies:

LOTS.....good movies are one of my passions. I enjoy heists/capers, action films, COMEDIES, documentaries, movie+musicals (esp. GREASE, RENT, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA,
***COLMA*** , dramas/thrillers, some period pieces, & even a few chick flicks/romantic comedies.

Television:

I don't watch much tv anymore, & the only show I really hit regularly is The OC...don't care what anyone says...been with it from the very start & will be there until it finally sinks. Food Network, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, & LAKERS hoops are good too.

Books:

Not many cover to cover lately, but I'm pretty well-read & know some things. You probably can't tell from what's on here, but I'm a moderately bright dude! LOL

Seriously, books are great learning tools, but don't always believe what you see/read. What's more, its a good idea not to judge a book by its cover.....you might end up being real surprised about what's actually inside. Yes, I'm speaking figuratively as well & am not just talking about books or even me here....Live life w/an open mind+ears & you'll get much more out of it.

Heroes:

I never have any problem giving credit/props or recognizing game when due, but the only people I really look up to & respect to the fullest are my fam, esp. my Mom, Dad, & sis.

These guys aren't my heroes, but I respect them for their superb business acumen & especially for their philanthropic efforts....Bill Gates & Warren Buffet

Oh, and the Poky Little Puppy has always inspired me cuz I'm always after that big strawberry.

$$$$ does NOT buy class....
