Undergoing Change

Here at TAOS...some layout changes are being made, so bare with me! Tim Gunn said the previous one "looks like a maxi pad" lmao. We shall BRB! Muah.

Christina Scarbo

Better known as "Kit Pistol" has the dopest name for a brand in my opinion, literally. However she know she was wrong for that Avangaurd look some episodes back...i concured with Tim Gunn (the oldest gay white man in the world...gayer than Oprah i might add) to say it was hideous. Girl...Anyway, while in my legion of boredom today I decided to browse ol' girl's site and I must say...she's really a genuine person, after viewing the blog. Her stuff is on point..I kind of wanted to see her go farther on PR but like she said herself, she has a name outside of that. And much respect to her. The bow-tie hair clips are cu-te. Ladies before you go throwed neck on the shop portion of her site please..please at least have hair to purchase a hair clip. "I'm just sayin doe!" Kidding in that seriousness. More of KP :

theist 0R atheist

So as one of my classes this semester, i have Religion & Philosophy, remind u im a Sociology major so this all corresponds to eachother in some form or fashion. They seem to be very contradicting in some sense which makes it more and more interesting each time i am given an assignment. ANYWAYS.....my first chapter to read was "Does GOD Exist", i found myself in a state of mind where i couldnt decide how i looked @ things anymore, there were 3 essays that 3 philosophers wrote to help the BEING understand and choose which affiliation they feel as if they are apart of. Something that most don't know as i didn't, is that there are two kinds of THEIST. One who BELIEVES IN GOD, that he is responsible for everything in this world, and bases EVERYTHING on cause & effect. And the other BELIEVES IN GOD as well BUT solely thinks that the world is created by this wise and powerful DESIGNER. Then u have the Athiest, one who believes that as time progressed the existance of GOD decreased, which means they DO NOT BELIEVE in GOD.

I mean what do you believe? how do you feel about this topic?

any questions???

D.C...Take me there!

I envy those who live in the MD/DC area forreal. To be young at that. I'm starting to get impatient and this whole school thing is starting to piss me off. My GPA is up to par but my credit hours are lacking. And since my parents are still a lil shakey about me leaving so soon, I have to stay down here for some stupid core classes. UGH! By 19, I will be at the real HU...just to start my life in DC or at a school in Maryland. I love my state and my city but the A ...is not for me. My parents moved off to Cali and traveled the world at a young age then came back to start new lives in Georgia. Im trying to do the same! Idk if Ill be trying to come back to GA though...maybe when I get old. Ugh im trying to start live good in MD/DC...smh. I took me a couple of days (last summer) to fall in love with the good parts of DC...and I must say, Im still in love. (pics i took on my phone last summer)


It was a dear summer moment for me then. So if I have to move through school...Im willing, shit just get me there. Only HBCU Im willing to settle for is Howard U. See ya soon...I also settle for Maryland too, it's a great place.

The First Of Many

I'm sure you all are in a frenzy for this weekend's Jordan release: the first installment of the many Countdown packages that will be released this year. 2008 is the 23rd year of jordan releases, and Jordan wore the number 23 for most of his NBA games(a hundred dollars to the reader that can tell me what other numbers he wore, no google). The packages will consist of two pairs, the number of their release will together add up to 23. The concept is dope, one of JB's dopest ideas in a while. The first set will be the shadow X's and playoff XIII's. The shadow X's are amongst my favorite Jordans so of course my pair is secured. My connect tells me that every retailer will be alotted one pair per size, and no kid sizes. Which means if you want a pair you should already have made arrangements and it may be too late if you haven't. Here's a few flicks for you.

From Baby Fat Til We Skeletons Darling

Smh...That cd is a true classic. Anyway I've been tardy plus absent for the last few days. My throat is KILLING ME! And I have the cough of a 92 year old women who've been smoking cigs for 91 of those years. Im sick. However today ATLANTA I will be downtown...Lenox way...Five points way..that's a black maybe though too. On top of it all Saturday, we're suppose to be getting more snow?! (in my ghetto voice) See uh-un. At first the snow was cute but uh-un. (lol) My chest feels like it's about to collapse. Idk. But hey! I will be with my favvvvvvvooooorite group of hoo-la-gins today. Im over-joyed. I know they'll probably get on my eyebrows before welcome hugs though. Haha. Yall should really see my eyebrows though...lol they have not been waxed since...since...right that long. -Sigh- I'll try to get them done for MLK Holiday. Smh...that's the least I could do for the brotha. The great Dr.King. And..I wonder...what would Martin Luther King say about my eyebrows? Lol I won't even continue with that though. Well Im glad to get up out of my leigon...I hold myself captive here all throughout the week because the world is crazy. Literally...What's goin' on? I was hurt yesterday when I found out two cops were ambushed and killed. Damn, both left behind four kids. How is it easy for anyone to want to have hopes of tomorrow? That's why I always say...for every day, a little prayer and a side of faith outweighs hope. I don't even believe in hope anymore...HBCU's aren't even guaranteed HOPE (GA Lottery Scholarship given to only public schools in the sate). So folks...this weekend...enjoy yourselves..enjoy life. Help ya mama out around the house. Give ya daddy a call. Kiss ya grandma on the cheek, it makes her feel good. Hug ya sista...hug ya brotha. Say hello to ya neighbors. Tell ya friend(s) how much you really care and that your intentions are good. Because this thing we got for free (life)... people are killing it for a price. In a matter of seconds...years are taken away. Families are torn. Lovers are gone. Fighters are weak. This weekend will be some weak ends. So just love and embrace peace. I'll leave you a pic I took last year and in all recommends... PEACE!


P.S. I miss ya too Darnesha ;)

CHASssssssssssss

I MISSSS U BEECCCCHHHH!!!!!

LOL

"SHAWTY!"

So Im chillin' chillin' in my leigon of doom right. All of a sudden my Nanny is like "The sky is fallin!" That's the fam's theme for snow in GA. What?! So what a supreme day I made it out to be while taking some pics and loving the south. Here's two (lol) from my snow album:
Idk how my head got lost in the snow!

Then you know how I am when you disrespect my state...by saying we don't get no snow. We don't want any! but when it comes...hell is gone. ;)

Fuck anyone in GA who didnt enjoy the snow today! Bwahaaha.

The Chronicles of Strange Fruit's Carbon Flopies

One day Im going to publish some thoughts on the guys Ive came across Lol I nickname all guys Carbon Copies...and most Carbon Flopies. It'll even have a disclaimer (lol)similar to this...

Disclaimer:Now first let me say...if you read this and get offended, it was meant for you. You'll be nameless but you'll identify yourself in description that'll fit you because between you and me...we both know wassup.



I am destined to marry a thinker and a poet. If I had to put a value to gold...words would be its equivalence. And his will be gold...I can dig that. Then..for him, I'll be a gold digger.*roll eyes* Im not her when most say all guys are dogs but for most Ill sit in the back and say "amen". In my young wonder years Ive only came in contact with one boy who somewhat woo'd me. Lol Not with lust or any type of physical encounter...we were young then, like 10 and 11, I was too tomboyish to be all into that. But I'll start my chronicles off with him.

Boys amuse me and so do men sometimes. You'd be surprise how many have tried to holla then go to a friend and vica versa. My girls and I make jokes about you. One good thing I can say about the male species is that they do not give up. Ahaha. Im not bitter just sluttin'with the fact that I am amused.Call me crazy but I wish I could have married Hemingway and cheated with Emerson. Made a love child with Van Gough during a paint section then ran off and eloped with Edgar Alan Poe on some dark shit. To at least go to Harlem and had some tea with Hughes. Then jumped back in modern day times only to really marry Benjamin Andre to be serious. Kidding in that seriousness though. Ugh...if only parallels touched right?


Im single until my career is on clouds, til my family and friends are all eating, til then..basically. So of course I'll hold hands but Im washing mine...germs brothas.

My chronicles are coming though...

2009 is Oprah's Year

Well Im pretty sure every year is Oprah's year...hell I wouldnt be surprised if she wrote a check to God and asked could she buy a couple of years. Her money is religious like that. Next year though, it's official, Oprah Winfrey will have her own network that'll be viewed in over 70 million homes. Now Im all for you mimicing your favorite rapper on his illusion of getting paid but when he gets his own network and can have a least a billion to join this woman's book club let me know. Wait no...when he can atleast be featured on her show, let me know, lmao. Her network will replace the Discovery Health Network. Discovery communications itself owns 13 networks in the U.S. alone. And you want to talk money? Also as you all may know Winfrey once was an investor of the Oxygen network but she felt it did not reflect her voice. She wants editorial control. Again, you want to talk money? pshtt, FUCK YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER when it comes to money...dummies.

An Apple A Day?..damn

So you know I have this thing with fruit and Im starting to think Apple knows too. Id give my Dell and more for this anyday. Ultra Light MacBook Air, 13 inch.

Apple is launching an ultra-thin notebook called the MacBook Air. At 0.76" thick at its widest point, the three-pound Air has a wedgelike shape that tapers down to 0.16" thick at the front base. LED backlighting on its 13.3-inch screen, multi-touch trackpad (which offers some nifty features like rotating photos, all in the touchpad), and a backlit keyboard. Specs are decent: 1.6 or 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (on a cleverly shrunken socket), 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive (or 64GB SSD option). No optical drive (of course), and just one USB port. It'll set you back $1,799, which is on the inexpensive side for ultralight notebooks with specs like this. Ships in two weeks.

Now this is not sluttin' with Sony's X505 thats's 0.75" thick...and was released in 2003 when it comes to thiness but come on now....You and I both know Fruit over anything is the only way to stay up to par.

Bijules

Lorraine, Jacob and Tiffany's are cool, but one of the illest jewelers alive right now is Jules Kim. I saw some of her work for the first time in '06 and she's been featured on Hypebeast and higsnobiety a few times since then. I have an enormous amount of respect for her because she's young and successful. She didn't allow her youth to hinder her success and she didn't allow her success to affect her humility, but most importantly i respect her becuase she and i share a similar burden, and that burden is the gift of creativity. Creative people are not at all easily satisfied and that can sometimes lead one to feel a constant sense of bordem and restlessness. Jules obviously knows what that feels like. Gawk at photos of her work and begin to brainstorm ways to awaken the hidden potential in yourself, rather than simply picking your bugers and flicking them. Oh, i almost forgot, her tats are ill as shit. You can Catch some of her jewels in Rihanna's "Umbrella" video.

Mr. Philips

I don't know...somehow...someway every time I am put in a position to where I have to adapt to a new environment... there's always this one special person I meet before hand that is placed in my life for an immaculate experience. For instance, when my family moved across Georgia, before my junior year in high school, I met my best friend Ash before school even started. Then lighting striked again for college, I met not only a best friend but my fashion soul mate, Mr. Philips. Im in love with him! We're going to have the most stylish children.lol Let me stop...but world I suggest you adjust your optical lens because you will need a clearer picture for Mr.Philips. In the future you're probably going to be asking for his opinion in not only what to wear but how to wear it. You may even need an expert in visual advertising on ways to perfect your store's window displays. Or You may just need that one fierce ass fashion consultant/stylish to give you an updated report on the art of fashion itself. One day....trust me, you'll need him. Sometimes, I take him in vain because Im a jealous thread girlfriend...I want Mr.Philips all to myself :( but we're working that out because he's too brilliant not to be shared (whore). I love him more than his keen eye for fashion though and Im pretty sure the world will too when lighting strikes again with my fashion boyfriend. For this time and this time only I'll refrain from fighting any one of you broads over him, haha. Be sure to check into a galaxy of his Here

Picture taken by me.

Think About it.

Vh1 pumps alotta bullshit into the minds of their viewers; Flavor of love, NEW York's Show...by these things, i am not impressed. However, a couple summers ago they aired a mini-series called THE DRUG YEARS. The show was Basically a documentary that gave first hand accounts on drugs in the 60's and 70's and the way that the country was affected. I thought it was dope. They did an excellent job capturing the feeling of the times, which fueled my boarder line obsession with the 60's. One of the people that were interviewed raised an interesting point. The occupational title of "rock star" was an excuse to do or behave however the fuck you wanted to. "He's high? He killed a man?" "He's a "rock star"? oh...its cool." That is exactly how it is today and i figured out why. Artists are not regular people, therefore they don't have to follow "regular people" rules. Even further, artist perform a service un-performable by any other group of people. Without musicians, painters, authors and such, the world would be dead. There wouldn't be thought, there wouldn't be entertainment. Art is as vital to the human body as water or bread. Why do crackheads allow dealers to treat them like shit? why do you children behave when they sense a treat as the aftermath of their good behavior? Why does the world allow artists to get away with things that would otherwise be unacceptable? the answer is simple, the Artist have to be kept happy so that they will continue to produce the art that we so hungrily long for. think about it.

"Im doin pretty good far as Geniuses go"

I started school yesterday. My semester is probably going to be dumb tough. Last semester was a breeze, and as result, all of my classes this semester are hard. Anyway, i get to my physics class yesterday and shortly after the class commenced, i realized that my teacher was...a fuckin lunatic. But then i thought; she was probably smart as shit. Geniuses are usually crazy. Which lead me to think: the dopest thing about individuals like Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Wayne, Andre three stacks, Hedi Slimane and Kanye is the fact that they appear to be the strangest muh fuckers you ever layed your eyes on, but they produce results not expected from the average human being.
