in all honesty...
:(
that face pretty much sums up how i feel today...
i dunno..im just thinking about everything and ive figured that i am both happy and dissatisfied with where i am at, at this point in my life...theres alot to it..like i still just want to be a kid, youthful and playful..but most importantly CAREFREE. that just dont cut it no more tho. its heartbreakin actually..things like debt and careers are looming over my shoulder and seem to keep reminding me that we are living in the real world..but i guess its true...life is a beautiful struggle..struggle to belong..struggle to survive..struggle just to be happy..and in all honesty..im being wayy too dramatic right now..and its super gayzee..but i feel that i need to just let it out so i can bounce right back on the bitches like magic. lol. but i guess the biggest thing that i hate at this current moment..is that i have to know exactly what i want to be...it takes alot for me to admit it..but I DONT KNOW. fuckkk that shit hurts to admit..but i guess i gotta realize and just let it be knownst so that i can do something about it..i mean..i have avenues that i am thinking about going up...but in all honesty..im frightened of picking the wrong one..ive always been super indecisive and it is really kicking my ass right now..i guess i just have to take the leap and learn from my mistakes..my life aint slowin down..so i better speed the fuck up..i wanna be done with school already..or do i even want to be in school?! (shut the fuck up marcus) but yea..i was ontrack..but ive slowly gotten off...its time to get on track and do it big tho..theres so much to life and i feel like im at a huge hurdle right now..theres so many things i need to take care of..i dunno..i just reallly reallly want to live a honorable resppectable life..thats all i care about..something i can be proud of..i guess i gotta go out and do it now..
no matter what im gonna do good for myself..i promise this to myself.
its only the first half of the day...heres to optimism and the rest of the dayy being wonderful. :)

the reason i get fly as Ibn Jasper...
straight up stolen from Kanye's blog...
dope stylist...somebody i respect very highly..
From Limite Magazine:
Who is Ibn Jasper? Born in and raised in Chicago, he is the Image Consultant who works closely with Kanye West; Ibn is the first and often the final word in all things fresh…
We wanted the chance to sit down with Ibn and chat about what is going on with him, because if we know what’s going on with him, then we know what’s going to be selling like hotcakes tomorrow. We got it, Ibn gave us the low down on style, working with Kanye, skateboarding and more:
Name / Alias:
Ibn Jasper / Ferrari Murakami aka F.M. Phenomenal
First off, how do you define fresh?
My new thing is that I want to be so fresh that it offends people. I want people to feel a little disrespected when I show up with the clothes I have on. I have the entire globe as my reference, and I shop everywhere around the world, so I rock items that people have never even heard about, let alone seen.
So basically, being fresh is just a part of you, it comes naturally, from kicks to clothes to hair styles, it’s part of your being?
Oh yea, definitely. Freshness is everything you do. From what you eat, drink, watch on TV(or don’t watch on TV), movies, books, mags, websites, girls you holla @… just everything you do with your life determines how fresh you are. Being fresh is the number one responsibility in the profession I’m in, so I analyze freshness with a little bit more detail and intensity than anyone else. Fresh is more of a direct science to me.
Do you draw inspiration for freshness from the people around you (i.e. Kanye, Diamond, Lupe)?
I really just have my own style that comes from me, but I will say that Kanye, Lupe and Nick have given me some really nice gifts.
So coming from Chicago, does the city almost automatically give you the necessary environment for “freshness”?
Hell no! You gotta find it, and Chicago is definitely NOT a fashion city. I find inspiration in Paris, Tokyo, London, and NYC. Those are fashion cities.
Did you acquire your taste and style for sneakers in Chicago or elsewhere?
It’s safe to that, because I mainly rock Jordan’s, only 1 through 8 and Air Max (87s and 90s). When I was growing up, I idolized Jordan, I mean, I’ve got “Come Fly With Me” on my iPhone 3G. I was watching it at dinner @ Phillipe last night in NY.
So you’re not really a fan of SB dunks or AF1’s, or even things a little more far off like Y3’s and other Adidas?
I like the notebook dunk hi’s. But I actually skate in SB shoes. So I really mess them up, you know? But, I’m not a poser, I actually do skate (and well). I’m an old school H-Street head (H-Street is an early 90’s skateboard brand which is highly regarded). But I think H-street is new school just to let you know how old school I am. Danny way, Matt Hensley and them are my childhood idols, just like Jordan is. I look at Matt Hensley in the same light as Jordan.
How do you feel about Plan B (a new skateboard brand with an all star team) and their roster of skaters?
Plan B is the reincarnation of H-street. I love Paul Rodriguez and P.J. Ladd (pro skaters), those 2 guys are amazing. My favorites right now are Chris Haslam, Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song. I love tech skating. I like when people show off how good they are.
OK, what about your all time favorite sneaker?
I just need them black 6’s (Jordan’s). Kanye has them, and he rocks ‘em every day. I’m serious, I mean every single day. Lucky bastard.
Alright, so lets close this up, what can we expect from the Talented Mr. Jasper in the future, a few NIKE collaborations, some Pastelle pieces, another fresh cut for Kanye?
Yea, definitely… all 3, but reverse the order you said them in. That’s how they’ll come out, cut 1st, Pastelle pieces, then… (give’s a villainous laugh).
Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to the fashion connoisseur reading this right now?
Don’t just be a fashion connoisseur, be a connoisseur of everything in life. Also, a big, huge shout to Kanye for changing my life. That’s all…. Oh yeah and the Air Yeezys and Pastelle coming real soon. Like real soon before you know it soon.
tryna live my life this wayyy.. =]

INDIVIDUALITY.
I am an individual. I exist for me, my family, and my friends - not for the state. I have individual likes and dislikes, wants and needs. Like you, I am unique, not merely a stamped-out variation of some larger group template. - Neal Boortz
