Forgivness

So I live by this one Philosophy, or more better, I try to remind my self this everyday: Get mad and get over it. Its a hard thing especially for me because I learned I hold grudges, and I can hold them for years. BUT life has taught me this: being angry at someone only hurts yourself, life is too short, and yes this person has wronged you but you become the better man, the BIGGER person by forgiving them.

There were two instances THIS SUMMER where I had friends 'wrong' me and it took me a long time to forgive them. I would talk to people about it, but they weren't telling me what I wanted to hear, so me being stubborn had to walk around with this dark cloud for a while, and it sucks. When someone wrongs you, in my opinion, I feel they have taken something away from you. For example, if a dad wasn't present in a child's life, especially a guy's then they would feel that the dad hurt/wronged the child by taking away his childhood. When friends talk behind your back, you feel they take away your credibility, your reputation. When someone has stole ANYTHING from you, you feel they have taken away your materials, number one, but your trust as well.

It IS hard to forgive people. From my personal experience I am a proud person and I don't like to admit that I am wrong or a fault with anything, but then again I have to remind myself that I am human and I will contradict myself, I will make mistakes, I will be an asshole sometimes, BUT if you can recognize that, accept it, and correct it, then your on your way to becoming a better person.

WHY write about this now? well everyone, I have some people I want to forgive before I leave and want to be on good terms. Anger, grief, depression, and grudges are not a good thing to be on one's mind. It'll eat you away and consume your life. Life is better being happy, don't you agree?

I would like to know what people think about this. So leave comments!

Im not a Fashionista.....

Because my partner-in-crime, Aileen, did a blog about fashion, I feel I must do one to for all the guy followers out there. Enough estrogen.

In my High School, they tried to administer some sort of uniform, you know the polo shirts and khaki pants, but we as students refused to comply or conform to the school’s attire and fought for our individuality, though a lot of us wore the same thing anyway. Never the less, I feel the clothes you wear is just an outwardly expression of you personality. For example, I would never wear any Hype Beast shit, (colorful plaid with tight jeans, a handkerchief, and matching nike dunks), I mean its not me and I STILL can’t do the Jerk

Let me tell you people, THRIFT stores is where it’s all at! Another man’s trash is another’s treasure. Some people get turned off by “vintage” clothing or the fact that someone else already wore it, BITCH just put that shit in the washer its 100% clean….DUH

But like my partner, there is no harm in looking at those “expensive” pair of jeans you’ll never buy until you get a “job” so let me enlighten you on my kind of Style:


Its a Henley ($255) + puffer Vest ($565). Inspired by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (yea I know)




Michael Bastian double-breasted blazer ($2,195): OO Im a sucka for blazers. This + nice dark Denium + and a Fedora and your SET


Givenchy Denim ($375): I’m a jeans and shirt kinda guy, and my favorite jeans are the ones you can wear everyday with any shirt


New Adidas Consortium Rod Laver Project: I love these shoes. I like it when things are simple, but elegant and these shoes say just that


GoldCoin ($25): I have to plug the company I am interning for here!! Once I saw this crew neck, I’ve ALWAYS wanted, they have one in all black with black stiching. Its AMAZING



One day huh Aileen.....

Just another Thursday night...

Hello kawawa Jayson.

Okay so tell me... what do you do when you break your glasses during an inebriated night and take it upon yourself to solely rely on your contacts days after? You think you're all cool and shit until all of a sudden your right contact decides to rip into two pieces. But shit, that doesn't phase you so you continue to wear one contact like a G. But then after hours and hours of studying with one eye, your head fcks with you and the next thing you know, you're dizzy. How do you cure that shit on a Thursday night?

You make a muthafuggin' eye patch.... endorsing Jayson's math & Broke-Bandits, WHAT.








Best believe homie wore this while we were out that whole night. YEE.

ATTN, ATTN. Hot off the Press

2 headed baby born in the Phillippines:


The baby was born late on Tuesday and is now under observation at the neo-natal intensive care unit of the Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila.
A hospital spokesman said the baby was stable at the moment, but said she may die if tests proved both heads shared only one set of vital organs.

I'm not a fashionista...

I mean c'mon... my most favorite shirt I own is my 13-year old Lion King shirt with Simba plastered on the front.



But I'd like to think I know what looks good and what doesn't no matter what the cost. Matter of fact I'm a huge fan of making fashion affordable but at the same time still unique with all that bullshit. But sometimes, there's just sometimes where you don't feel like flippin' through yo mama's clothes circa 70s and shufflin' through Buffalo Exchange hoping to find some goods. Sometimes yo just lazy! I won't front, but at those times I can't help but kinda want some of those $90 jeans or $200 sandals cause shit, they look GOOD and they quality FIT.

But of course, after a few seconds reality kicks in and I'll realize those $90 jeans and those $200 sandals ain't within my budget so I just buy the mimics that look just as good but ehh, don't fit quite. And somehow still work it like it were worth more than a bill.

As of late I've been on this weird tip with blogs. I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs. Oddly enough, this girl... the girl who wears white v-necks, beanies, and jeans everyday is the one reading up on this fashion shit. Yeah. I don't know what compels me to do so, but fashion, specifically street wear I feel has evolved into not just screen printed t-shirts and Nikes. The whole look has moved and transformed into a piece of art of its own; which is beautiful to see folks spill their creative juices on what they wear everyday.

So... with that said, I've been reading over a lot of them and I came up with this simple list of what I'd want if I had the chedddaaaaaaaaaar (or a sugar daddy) to cop these. This is my dream up list that will go untouched for now.



(via What the Hellz?!!)

I'm really feelin' this 18gram two knuckle Hellz-Bellz ring. How fkn badass is that broken bottle, yo? Plus I've always been a huge fan of Hellz-Bellz. Lanie, the owner & creative mind behind the line has so much swagg, any girl who rocks her shit looks fly. Her designs have that "I don't give a fck about you" kinda feel, but with much more lady class than you and yo mama.

A preview at Crooks & Castles' Women's Fall collection thanks to the folks at Paris & Pascual.

Not really into Crooks & Castles, but I've got cardigans on lock and this specific cardigan is freshhhh to deffffffffff. The look's so clean and the way the girl rocked it with her accessories made me want the cardigan even more. Check out her whole fit here.

Johnny Cupcakes Crossbones Fork Shirt


(via Johnny Cupcakes)

This one's a simple win for me. I've always been on a Johnny Cupcakes hype and I don't know when I'll be off it. So I'll let my collection start and grow.

That's pretty much it on the list. Realistically I'll only be able to afford one of these and for me to cop the other two at the same time, I'd probably have to sell a kidney. But imagine if I had the bank for all this?! DAMN. One fcking day, one day.
