BRAVO

This is Ana Bravo, I knew Ana back in Washington Middle School and North Salinas High back in Salinas, California. Ana and I was in the same Art Class back in 8th grade with "one eyed willy" aka Mr. Johnson. Yeah we called him "one eyed willy" because Mr. Johnson had a glass eye..you already know kids are cruel as hell. Down to earth, really cool, one of the finest girls in school, but time slowed down when she walked by and said "hi" then you hear New Edition "If It Isn't Love" song in the background when she was in your presence(okay it was just me) Anyways, after years gone by I actually found and connected back with Ana on myspace about a year and a half ago, through the great Bobbito Garcia(off his top friends list). Crazy how small the world is right? I told her I just wanted to give Miss. Ana some shine because she is a talented artist, painter, and person. Ana has her work been displayed in various art galleries, cafes, and venues throughout the Bay area and New York.

Classic

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Bigger Than..

These are the weirdos that I gotta deal with..I try to avoid these guys and girls. They linger around on "the block" on Camden road in BlackSheep Skateshop, Niche and in the malls. Clueless cats..well not really because they just got off Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, Karmaloop, and pickyourshoes.com. Come on dude I do not like talking about Dunks, Jordans, and the newest tees to hit the streets everytime you see me. There are bigger things going on out in the world today..I mean come on.
I mean world issues, gas prices, global change, personal change, community change,
or why so many people asking you for spare change. 
For some that might be a little depressing, 
I mean that shit can wear you down a little bit.
It's just clothes..let's have something else to talk about.
I had on a shirt last night the Rogue Status "curb your god" tee and a dude maybe was a church going dude. He had seen me and he read the tee and
he leaned into me and asked me a couple of questions.
He said he wanted me to explain what it meant. I gave him my explanation and then he told me how he felt and what it mean to him. We had a good dialogue going, it was good to talk to someone with different views. He was kind of pissed off but he was cool..because I couldn't really talk all that long because I was working.
So later on that night ..he was leaving and he looked a little tipsy..
I stopped him and shook his hand. He told me thanks for being honest and
having that quick convo, He said it was cool neither one of us got loud and started some crap(Lucky for him. LOL) It really was a tee Jasper the head of Rogue Status gave to me when I wasn't wearing a Rogue tee @ Magic in Vegas. It is a rough tee, espically down here in the "Bible Belt". This is for random people that come up to me. Not for my friends and krew members..we talk about everything under the sun..so this is not for you guys. So yeah it's all good
we can chat about a couple of different things skateboarding, kicks, gear, women, the world, politics, etc etc. Just saying let's not be so one dimensional.
Be diverse..learn something else besides the next NikeSB's coming out.
When you can't drive to BlackSheep to get the next hot shoe out
because gas is $9 a gallon..then you wanna trip.

Saturday

Okay a quick run down on my Saturday. It was so nice outside..hell it was actually like 74 deg outside. I could tell folks in the QC..we are ready for some spring weather..and we were all dressed for it. So Dom comes through on his way to the block and scoops me up and we head to Camden. Nice was having a winter sale because they got so much new shit in the back..they need the damn room. It was good to see the block was some familiar faces. Sorry batteries were mad low.

Okay that was dumb..I did that Duh..that was so wack. We bounce out and head back to Camden. Made a stop off a Lotus and needed to head home, to change for work and get to Feast to get to Steve's surprise Birthday party. Yeah Jay was the architect behind a surprise Birthday party for my man 50 grand Steve. Nothing real big just a few friends to hang out and wish him Happy Birthday. So I run home change and get down to feast at 7pm. Forget the extra batteries again. It was cool, Steve was surprised and we had a little something to eat and so banging cake that Jay made..and more were showing up as time went on..you know how people are slow and slack. Sorry no photos of the everything because as soon as I used the flash the camera was slowing dying.

Friday

Man since I've had a rough week this week. It's Friday and I usually get up with Steve and hang..and why would there be anything different. I haven't got a chance to talk to him and let him know what all that happened this week. I was just a little bummed so I needed a pick me up. So it's a pretty day outside, I still got some Flem from being sick but I have some antibiotics and they are working alright. So Steve rolls through and we are off to Lang Van on Shamrock..in the hood indeed. Please don't let the outside or the side of town it's on fool you..So we go to one of the best spots in Charlotte and so many people agree..you have to fuck with it.
This is the 3rd time I have been this week..
sorry L..I owe you, I owe you..we'll be coming again..promise.

"the N-word"

Tonight I was at work uptown working on St.Patrick's Day..a couple of drunks whatever..got bills. Matt B. was DJing..and played a Rage Against the Machine song and a girl and her boyfriend was acting like they wanted to throw chairs. So I told them to chill, I didn't mind they dancing just chill with the chairs. They were cool about it, then one of the guys they were with tells me something in my ear that I just quite didn't hear at first. After my ears adjust, he said to tell the DJ to stop playing music like this and maybe they won't dance all wild..since I had a problem with it..so he says. So I look at him and tell him I asked them to not pick up the chairs..I didn't care about the dancing..and to chill and don't worry about it they are good. So he tells me again this same thing, and he's a little drunk but not bad he knew what he was saying..then I look at him..like dude are kidding Rage is making them wanna throw chairs in the bar? So he looks at me and tells me "fuck off" and goes back over to were he was. So I just calmly went and grabbed Terry and Mizz to kindly help me escort this gentleman out. So he not putting up a fight, his friends see that he's getting kicked out so they follow him out. One of his boys starts talking shit and calls me a the "N-word" with fucking on the front of it. I was actually so shocked it through me for a loop..but I automatically pull out my knife and told him..
"Hey homie since you wanna use the N-word now I gotta cut cha!"
So then I take off my radio and putting my knife back in my pocket(because assault with a deadly weapon is 5-10 years)..I know Mizz came from the side and hit the dude twice I wanted to fight as I was putting my knife back in my pocket..Terry hit the guy and kicked him (in the back or the ribs)we was kicking out in the first place. They kinda bum rushed them so fast..It was kinda over b4 I even got ready. It happened so fast..whatever...then a little more arguing then they thought about coming back but changed their minds.

Now which leads me back to something I have a problem with..yes the N-word.
Because of this is the second time at the bar muthafucka wanna go there I don't wanna hear the word anymore. You know who you are, you know who I'm talking about, don't care if that's a nickname anymore. That's all I think it is now, people don't respect people anymore. It just makes me think what do you say when your not around black folks. If you can't say that shit in my barbershop called "Anderton's" or "Chop Shop" on Betties Ford Road..with your pistol or no pistol..you won't make out there alive..I guarantee you that. Don't care how many songs, movies, Boondocks, Chappelle's Shows, Paul Mooney..I don't care..don't say it. With an "a" on the end..it's the same thing it do not make it better man. I don't see how you can shake my hand and think that shit is ok..this is not for one person..this is for a few people.
It's okay I couldn't start calling people racial slurs to get back at them, becz that makes me look just as ignorant. I grew up in Germany and California
not that the reason..but it helped. I have people right here in NC that know not to cross those lines. Hell even when my black folks use it so freely too..I'm like..eh..not good..becz they feel it's okay now.
So yeah no matter how it's spelled, how it's said, who said it..
it all means this to me.
