keep yo money in the bank and spend it when you have better taste

i've been mad busy with my jobs this week. we have the update at ruehl so i've been working early mornings there setting up for it. also, got good hours at the other job, and got another job that i'm working like 7 hours on thursday. $$$$$$$

last night i stayed up and watched a special on national geographic (which they've started calling NAT GEO, and i'm not sure how i feel about that) called locked up overseas or something. it was about this dude who smuggled drug money and class a narcotics overseas for this dude stationed in japan. first him and his girlfriend smuggled $250,000 australian dollars to japan to give to the dude (the max you're supposed to take out of the country in cash is $10,000), the guy gave them like 8,000 pounds or 80,000 pounds in return and they moved to the hills of taiwan or something to live. they worked as english teachers for a couple years until the money ran out then they broke up. the guy needed more money so he went back to the guy he smuggled the money for and got a job from him. he had to go to the US, so he did, and a guy gave him a ridiculous amount of cocaine, like 800 grams or something insane. so then this guy's boss is like "you need to sell it in australia and then you're job is done", so now this poor dude who's tryna make a jug has got to conceal all this fuckin cocaine to australia. so he puts like 70 grams of it into like sixty-something condoms, dips the condoms in syrup AND SWALLOWS THEM. and then wraps the remaining million grams in plastic and tapes them to his torso. so the guy goes to the airport in the US with all this fucking cocaine inside and outside of him and gets past security and everything and gets on the plane. then he gets to australia and gets past customs and shit. and then he gets to the baggage check point and there are three security guards standing there. two of them are old dudes and one is younger, he's in training. the older dudes point to the guy with all the cocaine and are like, you wanna search his stuff? and the young dude is like, yeah i might as well i could use the practice. SHIT HOW HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS GETTING IN TO. so he searches through EVERYTHING in the dude's bag and doesn't come up with anything. the two are chatting the entire time and being real chummy to each other and shit. the security guy packs of the dude's bag and is like, "aight son you're all set" and then as cocaine man starts to walk away the guard dude is like "YO WAIT LET ME CHECK YOU" so he pats him down and he's like, "OKAY SIR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING STRAPPED TO YOUR TORSO??????" and the poor dude just sighs and he's like

"yes. cocaine. it's a lot of cocaine. you don't believe me? i'm not lying to you. you asked, there's nothing i can do about it now. it's cocaine. and that's not all of it. i swallowed seventy grams of it. they're in condoms. dipped in syrup. in my stomach."

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

u make my heart go ba da da da da da da

HALLELUJAH

whaaaat and more

out of everything that's going on for me right now, this is all i want to talk about:

this kid is decked out in head-to-toe bape. i ain't that up on bape, but fuck, i know how those prices look and this kid right here does not know how lucky he is. i want my kids to be up on this shit. rather, i'd like to be able to AFFORD to have my kids up on this shit. i'd love to see little tyke's parents. i mean, they can't let their kid look better than them, right?

ANYWAY. i was browsin' online today for some tunes and found two that y'all need to listen to.

1) i posted about wanting some of the ruehl soundtrack shit, and i found one of 'em. holy jesus i was so pumped. it was almost too easy to find.

HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR - BLIND frankie knuckles remix

2) i could listen to andre 3000 all day long and lucky for me, another andre 3000 featured jam just got added to my list. seriously, if you are an andre fan, download this shit as soon as possible. i guarantee you will listen to it over and over and over etc.

JOHN LEGEND ft. andre 3000 - GREEN LIGHT


adios muchachos & muchachas ~

conversations from the night

i have two things that have been on my mind for the past hour. first, a story.

so my friend kathryn knows a girl, who knows a girl, who knows a girl who had a pet snake. when third said girl went to college, she brought her snake with her. you know, snakes are like fish, easily portable and kute to look at when you're at your desk writing that krazie english final about krumping. this girl was so in love with her pet snake that at night, she slept with it. they spooned. girl would lay down and the snake would stretch out next to her and just chill. one day the girl noticed that pet snake hadn't been eating anything in like a week/week-and-a-half/two weeks, somewhere around there, so she brought it to the vet. the vet said, "so, how does your snake sleep?" and the girl replied, "oh, with me in my bed. it lays next to me". the vet [smirks] and says, "well, it's a good thing you came in when you did". the girl is confused [and cocks her head to the side].. "why?" she questions. the vet replies: "BECAUSE YOU'RE SNAKE WAS SIZING YOU UP TO SEE HOW BIG YOU WERE. IT WAS GOING TO STRANGLE YOU WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING AND THEN EAT YOU"............... what!!!!!!!!


second thing, a comment/"hypothetical situation":

if you were driving down a lonely road late at night with two friends and saw an opossum/a possum, what would you do? would you stop and wait for it to determine which side of the road it wanted to go to? or would you drive over it? yeah, i would wait for it to pick a side of the street, too.


providence can be a fun place.


p.s. does anyone know of any websites that have soundtracks from kool stores like ruehl or caffe roba dolce?! i want to listen to those songs all the time!

mmm sexy

this is kinda funny. i'm quoting this shit from a pissed-off letter someone sent in to allhiphop.com. they called rick ross a "giant 99 cent store sun glasses donning sea cow". HAHA.

wow

i almost chopped my finger off today!!

boston is attacking me

i just got home a minute ago from the store. i'm walking out of stop & shop with my dude and it's fucking down-pouring a shit storm! i was wearing my new kicks, velvet and patent leather and shit, so naturally i took them thangs off, went back into the store to grab a bag for 'em, wrapped 'em up, and barefooted it to the car in the 3 minute long thunderstorm of my nightmares.

today when i was driving to and from work on the highway, i passed about seven bolt buses. touchy subject for me. yeah, they're always mad late, but a bolt bus on that highway means new york. and it just cooled down there. would have been a good time to be home.

rick ross is featured on a new song out right now. by some dude called.. masspike miles? mass pike? why? i was on the friggen mass pike today. that's where i saw the bolt buses. on the mass pike. driving fifteen miles. masspike miles. weird name. anyway, i wikipedia'd this cat 'cause i was curious as to why he'd name himself after the shit show of highways in massachusetts. i was hoping that he'd be from somewhere far, far away that has no relation to mass at all. but, nonetheless, he grew up in boston. still, weird. if you ask anybody in boston to name something that they think represents the city, i promise you they will not say the mass pike. they're gonna say the red sox. i still don't know why he's got this name.
*NOTE* this is a good interview question, kids. if you ever interview masspike miles, ask him what up with the moniker.

the celtics lost. ouch.


however, that wale "i love your girl" freestyle is hot.

WALE - I LOVE YOUR GIRL FREESTYLE

ricky ross got a grrrrl

ricky ross and foxy brown????? i don't know what to say. never woulda guessed. i ain't hatin' but damnnnnnn.

yo see the only thing i can think of right now is, A) that interview he had with rolling stone when he said that sometimes he fucks a bitch while he's smokin a blunt & sometimes he fucks a bitch to his own music, and B) him in his video for the boss when he ain't got no shirt on and he's just hanging out.

i wanna make a lot of money make me come jokes right now, but imma hold back.

i'm glad they're happy! gotta keep the boss happy!

do you wanna be happy? listen to this.



also. if you could have any ricky ross ringtone, what would it be? should i get one? would the people in suburban massachusetts see me as trilla?

"i'm trinidadian and tobagan"

i had such a massachusetts sunday.

i hardly got any sleep last night. i worked 'til 11 and couldn't fall asleep until 3. i keep getting really anxious whenever i go to bed. but, this is beside the point.
so after getting little sleep, i was woken up this morning by my dad standing in the crack in my doorway, staring at me while whispering, "ashleyyyyy. wake up. get up ashleyyyy. you know you want to. come on ashleyyyyy". i stared at him. we just looked at each other. it was awkward for a minute, until he started to back away saying, "i know, i know. you're thinking 'will somebody get this big brown guy away from me?!'!"
i got up, got dressed and hopped in the car with my mom and my albert. they took me to a flea market. it was hot out and all the massachusetts folk were there, eager to find a good deal. on the way we passed a bunch of pilgrims. no joke. my mom thought it was kute. hai new england.
it was really hot out today, so time spent outside wasn't even that enjoyable. however, i got a whole buncha comic books - dig it! i want to start a whole series/mini-series of superhero themed paintings, so i got them to use as inspiration, but i am actually getting into these stories. it took me a couple hours to read a double issue one i got for a quartah, the final flash. it was good, got confusing at the end, but good.

the beginning of my monday will be spent with a law & order:csi marathon, comic books and large paintings on sheets of plywood. and just possibly listening to these two songs during the L&O commercial breaks:

JAY-Z - A BILLI


this girl feels like a hot mess rolling down the streets of suburban massachusetts at a cool thirty figh miles per hour listenin' to that leftside ishhhhh. what it doooo

gracias lord!

hello friday

what up friday. my mom just got home about 20 minutes ago. she was out pulling an all nighter with her girlfs. they went to a quilt store for a big, annual sale.... KUTE. anyway, i just woke up. she just went to bed. we have a date later. but until then, there is a keeping up with the kardashians marathon on! hallelujah! the kardashian brother is dating one of the cheetah girls and she just had to leave him for three months to go to india. it was sad. they were both crying.

:[

so diesel has this new black and gold thing. it's all black.
polo has this new black thing. i wonder if it's all gold.

i'm gonna post some tunes later. dig it!

HALLELUJAH!

theophilus london x ninjasonik "let's get ill"

i got this in my e-mail the other day - footage from the ninjasonik rooftop party in ny.. check this ish out!!!

12% of whats been going through my mind

i've had a lot of time to think at both of my jobs lately. i'm pretty much left alone to my thoughts at ruehl 24-7 unless robby's working. and the service desk at stop & shop is pretty slow, so i usually just read boston.com or write more shit for my english final that i'm "basically done with".
being in grafton, or massachusetts in general, makes me really miss everything that i have everywhere else. there are times when i'm here when i'm really happy, but for the most part, day to day, job to job, i just feel like something is missing. i'm just different now.
in a couple years everything is going to change, and not just for me, but for everyone. all of our lives will be different.

the other day i realized that i never want to flush the bathroom toilet. not because i am afraid of unfortunate things that could happen shortly after i push the trigger, or because of my fear of toilets. i never want to flush because i want to do anything and everything i can to save the water in the bowl. you may find this funny, but it's getting really bad. some mornings i rinse my mouth out with the hot water i used to wash my face because i don't want to waste water waiting for it to go cold again, and some mornings i wash my face in ice cold. showers aren't even the same anymore. i don't want to know what life is going to be like without water.
i had this conversation with ian yesterday en route from job 1 to job 2. he told me we are supposed to run out of water by 2050. okay. i am most likely still going to be alive in 2050. but i will be old and i will be used to living with water. how the fuck am i going to live without water when i've had it at my side for my entire life?! it's going to be like the elderly/computer pairing we are faced with now. most elderly people don't use computers because they didn't grow up with them - the idea is foreign. the idea of living without water is foreign to me. and even more, one thing that i just thought of: are the oceans going to be gone as well? what's going to happen to all of the animals? we're only ever going to be able to see animals in taxidermy museums! WHAT ARE OUR CATS AND DOGS GOING TO DRINK? WHAT ARE OUR FISH GOING TO LIVE IN! i thank god for allowing me to have baylee, ODB (R.I.P. baby), dominico and stefano as pets now, while they are able to survive.
i hope obama clenches his spot tonight, hillary free.
mid conversation with ian, theo called and i complained to him about how we're going to have to live without water and he said that the world was going to end in 2012. and i forgot about that, which is sad considering the kid who claims to have the formula for the end of the world sat next to me in lcd. on one hand it's cool that i get to spend the final years of my life getting an education that i love and don't have to pay for since i won't have to pay back any of my loans by the time the world ends. but on the other hand, i don't want to live through the deterioration of the planet. and i don't want to drown in a thunderstorm.
and i want to feel financially stable. and i want the price of gas to go down.
and i want to like my home.

when hallet told me that i should continue my english final past english at home to see how my views changed, i thought she was crazy. i told her that i probably wouldn't meet anyone who would inspire me to write in massachusetts. surprisingly, i have. they don't inspire me in the same way and they frankly don't excite me, and for the most part i'd be totally cool not seeing them again. but i'm gonna give it a shot. i have four parts that i've added over the past couple days, and a list of more that i want to finish. maybe tonight.

i don't get it fill me in!!

can someone tell me what that tyga song "coconut juice" is about! it sounds retarded but i decided that it's some kinda sexual reference. get to back to me asap thanks.

love no

i just checked out the teenagers video "love no" for the first time ever. haha hai nicole! you done good! if you haven't seen the video, google it. i would post it but my mind ain't with me right now.

i had a crazy time at the jobs today. i don't even feel like being awake right now.
