I left you some goodies
There's only about five things I do online:
1.) Check my email(s).
2.) Do that stalker shit: Go on FB, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube.
3.) Craigslist
4.) Watch my fav TV shows
5.) Download mixtapes
#5 being my main entertainment (I'm a true sucka for mixtapes) & the one that occupies me the most, I figure it'd be nice if I were to share what I find with ya'll.
Right now I'm stuck on this Mix Amour 2 mixtape I stumbled upon randomly. Can't exactly remember how I found it or who DJ Mada even is, but I quickly fell in love with this mix. Despite the typos in his description, I was appealed by his authentic vinyl approach. Then looked over his tracklist (and the fact that "Friendly Pressure" was his first track on the mix), I took a chance and downloaded it. And since then I've enjoyed it. Def provides a good listen during some downtime. Git it.

Re(cycled) piece: 12ftDwende "The Freedom of 22"
(click picture for article)
Originally written for 12ftDwende, I decided to repost this piece for all you folks here on Broke-Bandit$. Not as a plug for Dwende (although it could be - yes, shameless!), but really just to share some wisdom to all my folks out there who are dealing with the same struggle I'm going through right now... the phase we all hate being in the "post-grad syndrome".
Most recently since I've moved back to San Jose, I've been thrown into a whirlwind of changes. Starting from living on my own to now moving back into my parents house, to having a hectic schedule to not having one at all, my priorities have tremendously changed since I've graduated and my mindset has shifted a bit as well.
I've realized for a lot of the folks my age these are just a few that plague our minds during this transition. So I decided to write about it.
Compiled with several different thoughts and different folks in mind, I tried my best to encapsulate what we all might be going through. And with that I tried to come up with not a solution, but a way for all of us to cope with this inevitable change we're all going through.
So keep that in mind & read up if you wish. I tried my best to make sense out of this nonsense.

Yes yes, Hip-Hop, I forgot I loved you
HOOOW ARE YOOU AMERICA ? ME, well lets not dwell too much about me, but im great! How was my trip you ask? HA that gonna take me more than one blog to write about that. But lets focus on the subject
So ever since I got back, ive been dipping my toes in other different genre’s of music:
Rock of course, Drumb&Bass, electronic, some punk, A LOT of reggae (island + bob Marley stuff), and even some Jazz. So I have not been so much focusing on hiphop and R&B.
But on March 15, the same day of yet another Paciaqo win, I went with my cousin to Berkeley to see an all women’s Hip-Hop show called B.A.S.S (Bay Area Sistah Sound, http://bassladydjs.com ).
Let me tell you, I have NOT been to a GOOD hip-hop show in a long time. I mean, I think what was so good about were not only all the dope performances, but the vibe I got from the crowd. In between shows there would be female DJ’s, who were spinin with vinyl’s by the way, and play good songs, all from the 80’s // top 40’s // classics // new stuff. But the vibe…
The way I can describe “the vibe” from the crowd is: have you ever been to a dance // club // concert where everyone around you is reeking high energy and you have that moment where you take a 360 degree look around you and see everyone dancing.
But the reason why I loved going was b/c I forgot how music, especially Hip-Hop brings people together. I EVEN SAW AN EITNSTEIN COUPLE DANCING WITH THIS BLACK COUPLE..haha it was sick… Everyone was nice, talking to everyone and I made a bunch of friends that day.
here are some pics my cousin took of the event...
To all my beautiful women out there, HAPPY WOMEN’S MARCH APPRECIATION MONTH!!
