8.25.08 [OPENiNG DAY]

Today was a success...my class periods went by smoothly and even discovered I had early dismissal in which I spent with my beautiful girlfriend Zeina Grace =]doing things such as stopping at Southpoint & Windexing windows & leaving my lucky pen in unsafe territory & cashing checks & eating Bojangles & waiting in horrible after-school traffic & watching "her" show of her driving skills to the WHOLE SCHOOL =O overall my day was Wonderful...
And today I wore:
Old Navy X Gap X H&M X TNF

8.18.08 [SMH]


...I normally don't let my e-feelings get this hurt and force myself to express my utter hate for Sportsfreak but truly this epidemic of having a picture of you and all your ugly ass shoes has grew way way out of proportion. This my friend is not something you get praised for because for one just me looking at this picture literally gave me a headache. Two who cares how many of the worst Nike sb models and Nike terminators you have cause frankly I don't. It just amazes me how much attention people try to bring to themselves all for E-FAME!

im done man...I got better things to be doing instead of staring at the infamous Sportsfreak like watching the Olympics

8.7.08 [NEW BEGiNNiNGS+WEEKLY SNAPS]

Well readers...today I have officially become a member of the working class by working my first day at Triangle Pharmacy aka True Value Hardware Store. I arrived at 9:55 and clocked out at 12:51. Throughout the day while working at my newly found second home [the cash register] I rang up a variety of things such as Dr.Peppers, chapstick, dirt, and even things I had no clue existed [being because im not the greatest handi-man in the world] BUT all in all my day was pretty refreshing and hopefully my new job will become something I look forward to going to day-in and day-out.

PS:never...and I mean never charge anyone for their own car keys lmao!

and heres my adventure captured on my Fujifilm:

8.4.08 [S2N]

Im sure many of you are asking yourselves "what is Second2None"?!?
To me Second2None means being the first to influence your way of life onto others or to not become a victim of trends and fads and in return become the creator of innovation meaning take "no prisoners"...if you believe in something stand up for it and don't take anything just laying down.

and I leave you with this:
Phonte-"Last Day"
