The Umoja Village

I was lucky to stumble upon this video, it's inspiring and makes you want to do some good in the world. There is a place in Miami called Umoja Village...a plot of land where homeless people have united to create a village. Chores are shared, shanti houses are built by village dwellers, and each person does their part to make sure the village prospers. If the homeless who have little to nothing can show such a powerful display of unity, why can't everyone else in this country? I don't even know these people but I can honestly say that I am proud of them. They are setting an example for the rest of our country. Make the best of each situation, and united we stand. Enjoy:

DC x New Era 20/94 Enzo Collection

Every once and a while DC skate brand will come out with a dope pair of skate shoes. A design that perfectly mixes style and skateability, if that's a word. The latest in the collaborative effort between DC Shoes and New Era’s 20/94 project is the Enzo Collection. Inspired, obviously, by the Skateboard P Ferrari Enzo, the shoe and fitted come with a variety of leather treatments. Red, naturally, comes as a primary color. A black option is also available. Oddly enough, the structure of these kicks are similar to the Nike Air Yeezys...only the bubble bottom is a major plus for DC. The black version is the one I'll be copping, remember classics people. Check your local DC door for the collection. Peep the black version after the teleport

UD Homecoming 2008...I Think Not

So I guess it's been a lil time since I been outta college at WackD. A few people been hittin me up on some "come through bro, it's gonna be like old times". Um...right, I don't know if you remember correctly but the "old times" at University of Delaware were HUFF!

WOW speak of the devil, an old college associate of mine "Damo" just called me while I was writing this post, comedy. Anyway she's currently trying to convince me that UD Homecoming is gonna be poppin which I know it's not. I'm trying to convince her, that like McCain...more of the same is lame, hint hint. Sooo...back to the thoughts. Some of my boys from college still live in the Green Mansion...from their reports I gather that UD hasn't changed too much since graduation. So that means:

1) The girls will still mistake you for townies at night even if you know and are friends with them during non vampire hours

2) Some football dudes still haven't figured out how to get fly...You guys are still like a full year to year.5 behind, check the blog, it will cise your life.

3) This is a weekend for UD groupies...so the groupies currently there will be wild'n out, and the groupies that graduated will be returning.

4) Something racist is bound to happen there this weekend...it's just how that campus is.


Shout out to Benny though, dude still has the best sandwiches in existence...go cop several, ask for the Green Mansion Special with chilli. And to my homies at the Green Mansion and all those affiliated with GMB...hold it down this weekend. GMB was FLY before it was fashionable. Everyone knows we were the first on the block...and we had EVERYONE's joint come through to parlay with the Green Mansion Boys. So like Justo says...LIGHT UP...just make the best of it!

Oh yea peep this vid Rastio threw together. The footage is from last winter 2007, it's kind of like a MTV cribs with a comedic parody twist. Rastio did his thing with the footage, no wonder he's going to film school in Russia...enjoy:
