"All I Want Is You" - Miguel

     JCole has been getting the fire under his feet as an up and coming break out artist.  Signed to the Roc, he has a ton of expectations, but on this jam, he plays the feature as Miguel belts out a super smooth laid back chick ballad.  Ladies listen up to this humid love jam...video below.

Healing Heel Pain

Healing Heel Pain

I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis many years ago after a softball injury and anybody that's had it can tell you, it's one of the more painful conditions you can have. There's a piece of tissue that connects your heal and forefoot and keeps you balanced and if you aggravate that tissue, plantars is what you get. It also causes bone spurs. It all equals very discomforting heal pain. Here's a stretch to help out with that.

Summer Grub Is The Best But...

     Fitness, fitness, fitness.....it's something we all need to make a priority, BUT, it's the Summer!!  You want to eat everything right, BBQ's, parties, any day of the week, is good for burgers, dogs, and potato salad.  I think we can all admit it's pretty bad for us, but here are some tips to make it through and also recognize the extra pound culprits.  Here are the summer's most fattening foods, check the link here.

Jerseys Jerseys And More Futbol Jerseys

    This site, Football Fashion, will be added to my favorites and you'll be able to check their link whenever you want from this site.  Pretty much one of the most comprehensive web sites dedicated to every new kit worn by a soccer team on the planet.  The best photo's, information, and complete coverage of every teams new uniforms.  Soccer jerseys will always be a fashion staple that represents the current times.  Colors, designs, and fabrics are always changing.  One of the most exciting parts of the new season is seeing your favorite club's brand new season's jersey.  Football Fashion is located here.
It hurts me to post the pic below, but I saw them live in this jersey and they are the current MLS champs, so respect due.

Extra Lost

     Nice file of some extra bonus Lost footage, super interesting.  Supposed to be on the new DVD Season 6 release.     Thanks to Mr. Bill, enjoy the footage at this link.  It's the video file so put it on your iPhone.

Two Of My Favorites

    One of my favorite people sent me this link of a mash up of super different proportions.  Both favorites of mine, The Notorious and The XX.
Check the video here.....

RZA Burger

     Yes, RZA burger, one of the funniest things I've heard from the Abbott, the genius, RZA.  Please check the interview below from Hard Knocks TV with Devi Dev.  RZA gives a lot of information and news on upcoming projects, ODB, and how the Wu-Tang Clan will be performing the entire Enter To The 36 Chambers album in it's entirety at the Rock The Bells concerts this summer.  He also dicusses working with The GZA on the next Liquid Swords 2 album and they're putting full focus on making that album a classic.  Looks like the Wu is coming full circle from when Wu-Tang's leader produced most of the group's solo albums and made some of the best Hip Hop ever back in the 90's and now he's back behind the boards on albums like OBFCL2.  He's also been working with Kanye on his new album as well.
Check the video to see what a RZA burger actually is.  BONG! BONG!

Can Never Have Enough G-Shocks

     Casio has a new line of G-Shocks (when don't they) in metallic colors that are poppin.  I'm a fan of rockin a G-Shock dressed up with a blazer or the usual casual gear as long as it matches  your kicks.  I've taken mine from Panama to South Beach, pools, beaches, hot tubs, clubs and they can really take a beating.  At the same time, always looking fresh and with all the colors and designs they offer, everybody can find one that's their favorite or just keep adding them to your collection.  Check the article here on the new Mirror Face Collection.

Who's Been Eating Hummus??

     School is getting close for all the kiddies and one thing that was always a must get was NEW SNEAKERS.  Deciding on whatever fresh pair of kicks you wanted for the first day of school and then convincing your parents to spend the dough to get them was always an August ritual.  Foot Locker is in full swing with their back to school promotions and they joined with Nike ont his new commercial featuring Amare Stoudamire, Rajon Rondo, Justin Tuck, Sanya Richards (track star) and our own Desean Jackson.  Peep "The Educators" commerical below.

Inception Decoder

     Inception will end up being the movie of the summer of 2010.  Starring Leo DiCaprio, this is definitely a thinking persons movie, but has enough action and intrigue to keep everybody's attention.  I finally saw it today considering I haven't heard one negative opinion and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about.  I did it enjoy it very much, but I think I need to see it again to give it my true opinion.  I did come across this graphic that definitely makes the movie a little easier to comprehend and follow the process of what they were trying to do.  Pretty neat stuff.

El Retrato Del Poder

     Mr. West has been making a full public come back in preparation of his new album being released this fall.  His first single Power, produced by Symbolyc One, has been out for a month or so now and he just released this video by Marco Brambilla.  Yeezy says it's a portrait, not a video, and the more you look at it, it definitely looks like a painting, a moving one.  Pretty brilliant.  It's not the full song but it definitely looks epic and something like no other artist has done.  Peep the portrait below and this link has more information on the video director and Ye's inspiration.


Best Catch Ever?

     Straight from the Pro Yakyu League in Japan, this is arguably one of the best catches ever.  Masato Akamatsu of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp defies gravity to make this astonishing snag.

Happy Birthday To A Classic

     Today, August 1, 2010 is the 15 year anniversary of one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx by Raekwon the Chef featuring Ghostface Killah or otherwise known as the Purple Tape is a classic.  It was Scarface on wax, basically a movie through sound, provided by the RZA.  It's amazing to think that this much time has passed since it dropped, 1995, wow.  That was the summer before my senior year of high school and this was part of the soundtrack.  I eventually got a pair of Clark's Wallabee's a couple years after, but it's the intro to Glaciers of Ice that made me do it.  Even beyond the influence Rae and Ghost put on hood fashion and swag (before people even called it that), the album had it's own supersonic, soul, comic book, drug, kung-fu flick sound that was mind blowing.   You could never skip a song and each ballad is it's own masterpiece.  RZA completely produced the entire record and most of the Wu-Tang members and other guests all guest spot.  I still listen to this album often in it's entirety and there are so many singles on here I could call my favorite.  As a tribute, peep one of the best Wu video's and singles that was from this album, Ice Cream.  This album gets a very rare 5 Z out of 5 Z, all time classic rating in the catalog.
ZZZZZ

Senor Donovan

     Another reason Landon Donovan is the man.  The dude can speak fluent spanish as you can hear in this commercial.  Donovan is really embarking on being a global star after his great performance in this summers World Cup.  The next 6 months will be very interesting to see how he finishes up the MLS season and what transfer offers he will receive in the winter.  The LD show is just getting started.  Click here or view below.

Kobe V USA

     I'm really liking this simple USA colorway of the Kobe V.  One of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn and who doesn't love a red, white, and blue sneaker.  I would assume the V's are probably Kobe's most popular shoe to date since there seems to be a new color released every few weeks.  I'm not mad at em, but my wallet might be.  More info here.

AT-AT Day Afternoon

     Pretty cool video by Patrick Boivin, especially if you're a Star Wars fan and had the actual AT-AT toy back in the day.  See it below or click here.
