Every guy has these items in their closet (and ladies, if you want to dress up as this also, I'm sure you can raid your dad's, brother's, or boyfriend's closet). So since it's last minute, I think this would be an easy Halloween costume I think everyone could appreciate. lol



What You'll Need:
- Long Sleeve White Collared Shirt
- White Socks
- White Boxers or Breifs
- Ray Bay Wayfarer or sunglasses looking similar to that
- Candle Holder (optional)

Lakers Ring Ceremony

LAKERS BAYYYBEEE!!!

Last night's ring ceremony and unveiling of the banner for the 2010 NBA Chapions gave me chills. It was nice being able to watch the team receive their rings for their 16th championship title. The ceremony also reminded me of last years' basketball season and how i wasn't too fond of Artest to how i grew to like that guy. I was also reminded of all the Laker BBQs i went to and all the fun i had last season. Watching the unveiling of the banner was real cool too. Last nights events and the win they took is setting up the Lakers season to be just right.



If you missed the ring ceremony and the unveiling of the banner, here it is:

Lakers: 1-0

"To start the season, you wanna start on a positive note."

Good way to put it Blake. To see the rest of what Steve Blake had to say after the game click here.

The first game against the Houston Rockets was a fckin' nail-biter, to say the least! For the most part the Rockets were in the lead, as much as 15 points during the game. Pau Gasol held the most points in last night's game with 29 points. Brown flooded the court with threes in the 4th quarter and Blake is making me eat my words saying he's "aiiight" haha Blake shot the last three oh-so-cleeeannn! Giving the Lakers a two point lead that gave us our Win for last night's game. Lakers starting it off right, 1-0! Thank you God for basketball season! :)

"Carmencitaaaa!"

Kanye West - "Runaway" (Full Length)

I can't stand Kanye for the life of me, but the a$$hole exudes talent with anything that deals with music and visuals (except for the "Best I Ever Had" video). The concept of this film is bonkers (yes, i said bonkers haha) The music, by Yeezy, used in every scene seemed to tie together with the film so well. From "...toasting to the douchebags..." at the dinner scene or wanting to see "...all of the lights..." during the fireworks scene. Check out his latest masterpiece, "Runaway".

Lakers 2010-2011

Basketball season starts tomorrow!

You know damn well who I'll be rooting for this year... and the year after that... and the year after that... and... You get the picture :) Forget preseason ball, the official season starts tomorrow with Miami vs. Boston at 7pm EST... BUT for me, as well as other Lakers fans, it officially starts at 7:30 OUR time when our boys in purple and gold play against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers will be playing the 2010-2011 season with five new players: Ratliff coming from the Bobcats, Devin Ebanks coming from West Virginia University (43rd pick in the 2010 NBA Draft), Derrick Caracter was the 58th overall pick by the Lakers in the 2010 draft as well, Steve Blake coming from the Clippers, and Matt Barnes coming from Magic. I haven't caught too much of preseason ball, but from the Lakers preseason ball that I have seen, Blake is aiiight. Hoping him and Ebanks prove a bit more why they're on a championship team. As for Barnes, just another Artest to me. You hated him, but once you found out he was gonna be on our team, couldn't be any happier. The dynamics of this team could be really good for L.A. and another possible championship win could be possible... or am i just doing some wishful thinking? Then again there are so many damn injuries on this team who knows how this season's gonna play out haha I'm happy to see the returning players back on for another year, BUT i could go without seeing Walton on the team... just saying :) Basketball season will be here and i can't wait!

r.i.p. Gregory Issacs

I wasn't an avid listener of Greg Issacs, but I do remember my cousin playing this one song by him when I was YOUNGER. He would play it for one of his "lady friends"... Did my cousin end up getting with the girl? Yea, for a few months haha I'd like to think it was 'cuz of this song...

Wiz Khalifa on Hard Knock TV

Here's my fave tatted up black boy on Hard Knock TV talking about being compared to Snoop. As well as talking about Diddy and possibly working with Rick Ross. He also mentions making more music and how we can expect an album some time early next year. Check it:

2. Paint the outside of the box entirely black. Let it dry.
3. Arrange your construction paper in piles according to color. Measure the box to see how much space you have for the squares. Cut each color into nine equal sized square pieces.
4. Glue the colored squares onto the box in even rows, with three pieces in each row & column. You can have it "solved" or not, it's up to you. Each surface of the box should be used.
5. Dress in your black clothing and slip on the box and have fun!
