Years ago, cornrows were the favored hairstyle amongst your favorite rapper and baller. Even Mr. Sexyback was sporting ‘em! These days, it looks like a dying fad. Rappers and ballers seem to be ditching the braids for a cleaner, more grown up look. Here are a few big names who’ve ditched the ‘rows in recent years:

Carmelo Anthony

Allen Iverson - who’s had cornrows since his rookie year back in ‘96

K-Fed - lol

Another one from the Connie-Logues out in Asia (teaching english to kids who know none in Taiwan):

i gave out a spelling word today
it was “a college education”
…
and the kid spells, “ecoligication”
pretty good
but just completely wrong

FAIL

We just spent the last couple hours walking around Interlaken from store to store asking people if they carry any Swizz Beats.

At the tourist center:
Ant: Do you know where I can find swiss cheese, chocolate, and some swizz beatz?
Lady: Do want pizza?

At the chocolate store:
Do you have any swizz beatz? It’s a great product. Very heavy in bass, and tends to be a collabo of many different artists and tastes. Sometimes it’s wrapped in platinum foil

At the watch store:
Do you carry swizz beatz? It’s spelled B-E-A-T-Z. It came highly recommended by a couple of my friends back home like my friend First Lady Eve of the county Roof Readers, and our friend Mr. On, as in Drag On.

At a clothing store (no joke):
Me:Do you know where I can find some swizz beatz?
Lady: I think you can find some at the Migros (Mee-grose) store around the corner.
Me: Let me get this straight, I can find swizz beatz at the Migros store?
Lady: Yes, they carry an assortment of vegetables.

We are currently sitting in the airport in london and the f-ing fire alarm just went off, and the incessant beeping at 2am isn’t really helping anyone in the building. I think people who are waking up from this thing are getting more pissed than getting worried.

We’re going to switzerland next for a day of sky diving over the swiss alps. it’s gonna be ridic.

We just finished doing the Jameson Whiskey and Guinness tour. Driving across country tto see some Irish Castles.

Girls is Ireland are not that good looking………………

Happy Valentine’s Day. Embedded is the video to 2009’s valentine’s day ecard. The video is set to the intro fo Such Great Heights by Postal Service.

It’s a great song by a great music group.

Where were we? Oh that’s right, we were on our awesome Road Trip about to go listen to some country music on Sunday. We headed over to Music Row in Nashville on Broadway. What a great time!

We went to a few places, but spent the majority of our night at the famous Tootsies. As we walked in, we were greeted with good ol’ two step dancing, southern twang speaking, country music! After spending about an hour bumping uglies with couples doing the ugly-country-grind (think a giraffe and a cheetah trying to do it) and singing their twanging hearts out, we went upstairs to a rockin’ party with great cover tunes, and awesome people! And that’s where I subsequently met the woman I’m going to marry. She’s probably around 35 - 40 (I can tell by her elbows), but man can she sing…woof. We partied, slow danced, and hung out with the south’s finest till 2:00am…on a SUNDAY! Crazy Nashies…

But what’s the rush to get back? Oh right…We have class in the morning. Bigs and B decided to hit up Vanderbilt University to attend 2 classes. Seriously, what kind of a school let’s 2 creepos wander onto campus and attend class? 2 econ, 1 art history classes, 1 sorority, and 1 bottle of tabasco sauce stealing later, it was time to face our miserable “mid-20s no longer party till your stomach gets pumped students” reality. At least we have Swetts…

mm…more soul food (no pigs feet).

2 big plates, and 5 hours of driving later, we arrive, to the Original Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin, Kentucky (Located at the junction of US-25E and US-25W). It tastes just like the regular. But still…Awesome.

19 hours very tiring hours later, back in New York, and back at work. Great Trip!

V: there is another kid i used to live next door to that i cannot add [on facebook]
