2009 Nissan GT-R

I can not wait to see the 2009 GT-R on the road. There has been so much hype behind the automobile and all I can hope is that it lives up to all of the expectations. I mean come on Twin-Turbo 3.8 Liter V6 that makes 480 horsepower...that is so ridiculous! I could never handle that kind of power.

An All Wheel Drive Train is essential to a car with this much power. Too many people on the road already don't know how to drive I could just imagine what this world would be like with folks driving around a close to 500 horsepower front or rear wheel drive. They would be driving sideways down the road.

With the hype up of this car had cause rumors saying that there could be a $60,000 mark up on this car. I could see people dripping this kind of cash on this car especially with how hot it looks but how well it will perform.

Diving Into The Wreck Analysis

I was never a huge fan of poems of much literature in general, but this poem I actually enjoyed. Interpretations in the past have always frustrated me but this was a good poem to interpret.

I believe that Rich's referral to the ship was not about an actual ship more about life in general, particularly the past. All of the damage that Rich speaks about in this poem is about the problems and troubles we have had in our past. The symbolism of a a wrecked ship certainly in my eyes refers to the past because you do not really see any type of huge shipwrecks in this day and age.

What i also find interesting about this poem is located on line 74, Rich states "I am she: I am he". The thing I enjoy most about this line is the fact that it shows the readers that you are not the only one who has had some problems in the past. It is almost comforting that you see that there are people out there that are just like you.

Overall I enjoyed the poem and I believe it will work as a segway as I become more interested in the poems and literature I shall interpret in the future.

Glow In The Dark Tour

Kanye West, N.E.R.D. , Lupe Fiasco and Rihanna...wow. Not much of a Rhianna fan but she has had some dope singles of her most recent album, note to self: Purchase her album. Most people do not understand what kind of powerhouse lineup this is for a tour. Kanye and Rihanna and the two biggest stars in my opinion.

I have seen Kanye 5 times already and every time he delivers a superb performance. If you had any doubt in your mind about this mans passion for his music, go to one of his shows and watch him light the stage up. I don't know if I just have a biased opinion because he is one of my favorite artist but I think the fact that I have seen him a few times makes him one of my favorite artist. I have gained so much more respect for him and his work after seeing him the first time. Even though he had already earned so much with his lyricism and creativity.

I have never seen N.E.R.D. nor Lupe Fiasco. I consider my self a huge Lupe Fiasco fan, and also feel that he does not get the props that he deserves. His latest album, "The Cool", was flawless. If you do not own it and want to here a real emcee in a time where REAL emcees are so scare go out and cop "The Cool". The album was a complete breath of fresh air..finally there really are some artist out there who are still down to earth and aren't manufactured. N.E.R.D's funky yet creative style definitely grabs my attention and incises me to want to see them live more.

If you think for any second I will let this concert pass me by, pending it hits New York because dates have not been released yet, you are crazy. I wish I had the funds to fly my self out to Chicago and see the tour hit the mid-west, with West and Fiasco both being form "Chi-Town".

Mind State of a Gangster From The 40's

Everything about Jay-Z's American Gangster album was genius to me, form the lyrics to the marketing the to beats. Even though it is not the intro off of the album album, it was still a great choice to open up the album with this being the actual track.

This video of Jay preforming "Pray" live was just recently released. Personally I have never been to a Jay-Z concert, the thought brings tears to my eyes because I pout Jay in my top 2 emcees of all time...it's either him or BIG, but this video provides an excellent representation of what Jay is about. You can see his passion for the industry within his performance of this song. That same passion is the reason why I have become such a huge fan of his.

This song explains the ideas, thoughts , and experiences Jay has had in the past between his family life, growing up , life as a drug dealer.

Packin' Heat

Well, I was never too much of a supporter of any type of Jordan brand "pack". i always felt as if it just had fed into the hype of the sneakerhead culture. It has almost become the IN thing to do, which is far from the reason I got into collecting sneakers, but that will be for another blog entry.

Although I must admit the packages released have all contained sneakers I would love to add to my collection, like both the XI's and VI's from the Defining Moments Package and certainly the Shadow X's and XIII's that were included int he recently released Countdown Package, I have never been able to break down and support the whole package idea. It just was never my thing, back when I wanted sneakers that I could not afford they weren't released in packs. You got one pair of a Jays released each year...that's it! No god damn retros.....as I go to vent!!

Any how most sneakerheads were convinced that they were going to seeing a pair of Infrared VI's in the next installment of the countdown package....they were wrong. Sneakerhead across the world rejoice at the fact that Jordan will be releasing the covted Carmine VI's in the next package.

In the past the only way to get your hands on a pair was to drop some major cash on eBay and scoop up a pair that was most likely unwearable due to its age...I mean Hey the original Carmines were released in November of 1991 so chances are any pair you find is not is superb condition.

Although I'm not a real fan of the XVII's, which will be released with the Carmines , I might have to break down on my Package strike just to be able to get a pair of Carmines on my feet.

Jordan Brand strikes me again.

Please Admire the rest of the pictures.

Just a few weeks ago, Fashion News Daily reported that Pharell Williams was working with Louis Vuitton designer Camille Micel. The two pair up to creat the new line of ewlry for the company titled, Blason. The line is said to be a a variation of four things where rhymtm and energy of the new cotinent harmonize with the spirit of historic Europe. prices on this line will range from 420 to 1200 Euro(Roughly $587-1,760). Blason jewelry is scheduled to be in Louis Vuitton stores and dealers sometime this.

spring.

This here is the commercial starring non other than Pharell himself. I have really come to appreciate the work of Pharell and truly admire his "hustle". He has used various different industries to increase his bank account and that is definitely something I would love to do.

By the way, the music from the commercial is N.E.R.D's new single "Everyone Nose"
