Can You Get Away?!

Tupac is the best. Took the words right out of my mouth. "Could it be my destiny to be lonely?And checkin for these hoochies that be on me cause they phonyBut you was different -- I got no need to be suspiciousCause I can tell -- my life with you would be deliciousThe way you lick your lips and shake your hips got me addictedI'm sittin here hoping that we can find some way to kick itEven though I got your digits gotta struggle to resist itSlowly advance and miss my chance not to miss itYou blow me kisseswhen he ain't lookin, now your heart's tookenMy only wish is that you change your mind and he get shookWanna take you there but you scared to follow, come see tomorrowHoping I can take you through the pain and sorrowLet you know I care -- that someone's there for your struggleDepend on me, when you have needs or there's troubleI wanna give you happiness and maybe even moreI told you before, no time to waste we can hook up at the storeCan you get away?" - Tupac Shakur "Can You Get Away"

"I Cry" by Tupac Shakur

Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confide in, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why.

Another Masterpiece.

There has literally never been a time where Porsche has disappointed me. Especially the past 3-4 years, each brand new model they have been releasing is one beauty after another, Porsche just gets better and better. For nearly a year, the 997 GT3 and GT3 RS has been a big hype, and you cannot help but to roll with it, its beauty, it still keeps the GT3 concept, its perfect. But during those times I was always wondering when they would release a newer version of the Grand Daddy, the GT2, when will they beef it up and make it a special exclusive piece of art. Last Tuesday I got an e-mail from Porsche as a subscriber, and it is pretty much one of the best e-mails I have received. The e-mail contained a newsletter that announced Porsche's newest GT2 model, the GT2 RS. After being notified about this, you have to say to yourself that Porsche does not play games in the car/art market. And after reading the specifics, I couldn't control the urge to see the pictures, and at the same time I felt a bit nervous because of the excitement I had, it was almost hard to believe. Then as I saw full detailed pictures of the GT2 RS, I could not stop smiling and my heart would not stop beating so fast. First the Panamera, then the GT3, then the GT3 RS, then the Boxster Spyder, then the 918 Spyder Hybrid, and now something unbelievable. The 2011 Porsche GT2 RS. 620HP (100HP more than the 2007-10 GT2) twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat 6. 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds. Clocked 7 min 18 seconds on the Nürburgring in Germany, compared to the last lap time of 7 min 36 seconds from the first 997 GT2. A maximum speed output of 205mph. And might I add the aesthetics of the car, carbon pieces everywhere! From quarter panel air ducts to a carbon fiber hood (finally, what I've been waiting for). In the end, only 500 made. Talk about exclusive. If the GT2 was the only car I could drive for the rest of my life, so be it. It is perfection that was made by the hands of the Gods. Every type of God that there is in this universe, they each put their own special power and made this masterpiece. What you have to admire about Porsche, is that they understand lines, curves, colors, and most of all balance. They compliment new designs and unique innovation with the old classics like the 1955 356 Speedsters to the 1987 911 Turbos. They never forget their history, they keep it in their minds and take advantage of it to create what was once a dream.

Y-3 SLVR V-Neck

Today as I was taking a quick stroll through Santana Row, I decided to check out the Y-3 store (Yohji Yamamoto x Adiddas collaboration project), since I hardly go because everything is flippin expensive. But today was a good day. As soon as I walked in, the store manager asked me "would you like to hear about our 70% sale today?" I did not hesitate for a second, and my immediate answer was yes! Half the store was either 50% or 70% off both men and women. Crazy!

As I walked around I saw a lot of nice sweaters and cardigans, as they always do. But this one definitely caught my eye, especially after I did the math in my head and noticed how much I was could it for, it caught my attention even more, haha! But also I've been trying to look for more jackets and sweaters in different colors other than my usual black ones. This is Y-3's SLVR line, the A100 crew neck in a light chalk color. My first Y-3 purchase, and it was a steal. Some day I will walk in the store and buy almost everything...regular price too!

Talk About Swagga.

You know, for a long time I never really gave Shia LeBouf credit, I think mainly because of how I always viewed him from Even Stevens, and I guess I always got the impression that he was a cocky son of beezy, which I also do towards most guys. But lately as Ive been seen him on random interviews and magazine articles, this guy is one suave son of a gun. I found this picture from a random fashion blog of him and Michael Douglas, and I must say, lately I've noticed that Shia LeBouf is someone who has got class, in both style and character. I once saw an interview of his in Korea when he was promoting Transformers 2, and he was nothing but polite and charming to the reporter. (Definitely sounds gay of me right). But I do regret my past views on this guy, he definitely knows how to wear a suit and presents himself well with it, because a suit is not just something you wear, but something that you have to be one with, cannot be a separate thing. I would definitely love to shake this guy's hand and have a Scotch with him. (Nothing gay here). And I'm sure he has great taste in Scotch. .

Contemporary Homes

This is one of the dopest houses I have seen, not too big, not too small, a very fresh design and colors. I love the colors they use for the interior walls and the tiles on the ground. One of the things I like about the house is how they kept the oak trees and just built the grounds around it. I had no idea this was in Mexico. Not to put down the Mexican lands, but I always viewed Mexico as flat lands with deserts and less trees. More pictures here.

New Orleans Rebuild

After Hurricane Katrina, many homes in New Orleans are in the process of being rebuilt. And the cool part of about this is, is that many of the new homes are multi-unit modern designed houses. Another nice thing is that they try and keep the New Orleans home design concept, usually small and compact, but of course this time more modern. I wouldnt mind living in this house, as long as you give me a simple 2 car garage with a lift in the backyard. I remember seeing Brad Pitt on Charlie Rose talking about helping out with making this type of project possible, building these types of homes to rebuild New Orleans for its future.
