Good Eats::V2..Chinatown Chillin

2012-01-16T16:21:00.000-08:00

Nothing brings together great minds like a good ole Asian food rendezvous. On this edition of "Good Eats," I decided to step outside the restaurant and capture A bit of the essence of Chinatown. With a dwindling battery, a fucked up lens, a quivering hand, and a mild Djarum wave, I did my best to present to you all a typical late night excursion for some good ass food within an area saturated with culture. ::It's.A.Beautiful.Thing::..

2011-12-18T18:15:00.000-08:00

With a name inspired by the Japanese Maneki Neko, meaning "Beckoning Cat" or more infamously known as the "Money Cat",Yen (¥ - Japanese Sign of Currency) is the newest member of the CmartyMar Team! Like the Japanese sculpture, Yen has welcomed his way into our hearts and has put NO MONEY into our pockets. But with that being said, I love this friggen cat. Luckily for us, the LollyPop Farm was giving away free spaded/vaccinated kittens and after a trip from Erica to Pet Smart and 5 hours of waiting in line, this little kitty was M!NE...

Every time I return to Long Island gathering with friends & family is mandatory, appreciated, and most of all relaxing. Whether were exchanging stories while passing bottles or chilling in the basement while waiting for a fresh cut, it never gets old. There is something extraordinary about seeing your beloved friends after a prolonged period of time. That initial response when you first see them is pure joy followed by the itch to fill each other in on every single event passed. Unfortunately that time quickly ends, reality sets in and its time to get back work (7hrs away). Though sad and longing to stay, the only thought that helps you cope is sooner or later you will be back.The cycle continues.... Like I said it never gets old

Beers on Beers on Beers!!!! We got Liqs on Liqs on Liqs!!! The Blueroom is back BABY. For those who don't know, the Blueroom is a drunken state of mind where friends/family/strangers come together in an alcoholic haze. This fermented state of mind is one that brings about joy, laughter, lust, passion and RAGE. Its bin a while since the last blue sighting, making this resurfacing long overdue. This time the festivities had taken place at my man Josh's house on Harlod Street. With Zordon as my guest of honor and Luigi aka the Most~Waviest making an unlikely appearance, The Blueroom was officially .::Back::.

J~Rad Mulah finally made the decision to cut off the epic beard. Sounds kinda strange, but we have been covering this man's beard growth for quite sometime now lol. Clocking in at around 8 months of bearded epic-ness, my brutha stepped down off the thrown and came through for the chop. 8months is a long time to be growing hair and saying you get attatched is an understatement, this explains why 25% of his beard remains. Still has the beard game on smash in my opinion tho. Newho...Faded out...shaped up..Razor line...you know how we give it up...Peep the artistry...::Im off this::

We're living in a time where everybody wants the regular dark ceasar or taper or fade yadda yadda yadda..the sh*t gets boring son! Now lets not get it twisted, I sincerely appreciate all of my clients and their mundane hairstyles because had it not been for the ceasars and shape ups I'd be a broke you know what..But anyhow peep the results of a lil creative freedom, a fresh razor blade, and a overall positive atmosphere::.... #Epic

Luckily for me this fantastic meal is only 10 minutes away and located on 741 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14607 [wink]. If you ever do get the chance to go to The Sea Restaurant, make sure you try the Phở Meat Special and start the meal off with the fried squid appetizer or the fresh shrimp spring rolls. Poppin!

Childhood is something that I will always cherish. Riding bikes, riding scooters, playing tag, shit was great. Life was easy. No worries. Girls were whatever and it was all about going outside to play with my boys [pause]. No responsibilities and good times. I remember old people used to always say cherish your youth , have fun while you can. They said that one day you will hit that wall of reality, and you will wish you did. Of course I had no idea what they were talking about and payed them no mind , naturally [they were old]. Now I know what they were talking about. A taste of the real opened MY EYES WIDE. Bills, stress, responsibilities are no fun. But luckily for us we are still young people. Soooo.... Lets get crazy.

Not Kentucky..stay with me folks. In case your not familiar with this ever so prevalent hood joint, allow me to educate you. Kennedy's fried chicken is a franchise that inhabits a corner on many well deserving blocks in many hoods. Don't let the name fool you...K.f.c.'s menu extends faaaar beyond the usual battered/fried leg and biscuit. The menu goes from bean pies to cheesecake, gyros to cheese-steaks, meatballs to general tso w/ pork fried rice, and EVVVVEERY-freakin-THANG in between all at an extremely fair price! :) So next time your fiending for a piece of some fried deliciousness and you have $3.50, you know where to go.

Every First Friday of the month, Rochester City's Artists gather round to display their art in various galleries around the city. R.I.T students, Rochester natives, and others all participate in this monthly event. Like every other first friday; myself, V.Dot, and my neighbors headed downtown to look at some art and get wavy~. Unfortunately this time we got a TAD too wavy [Free alcohol provided by the way ::POPPIN::] and did not take any pictures of the art [Tear]. But we did manage to document our antics back at Mikey Miggs and Andy's crib. Hopefully the liqour, wine, and beer won't interfere in the next First Friday Post.

2010-12-20T17:16:00.000-08:00

Who knew that an orphan rottweiler/german shepard would quickly enter and leave our lives. She has left such a huge impression on us all. Jasmine bounced around from college apartment to college apartment and landed here in the home of me and V.Dot. Unfortunately we had to give her up...So naturally we gave her to our good old friend Max Scott. Max is an Enviornmental Science major, he recycles, loves the occasional beer, and smokes some herb. So giving her onto such an Earth Loving Fun Guy was not so bad. Sadly for us and Max, only a few short weeks later R.I.T officialls spotted Jazzy. And of course having a pet on school housing grounds is against R.I.T policy. So now Jasmine does not have a home here in Rochester.

So fellow bloggers please find it in your hearts to donate a couple of dollars to giving Jasmine a warm house to live in Rochester. We accept all donations. Whatever you do, please send the donations directly to me so I can buy fresh ass gear and furnish my home lavishly. As for Jasmine she is currently in Boston living with Max's beautiful family. Before you choose not to donate your much needed funds to myself and V.Dot, please do know that Jasmine's current home could be ballin and be in Rochester. LCD Tv's, soft leather couches, and the latest in electronics and clothing are necesarry for a young pup's development. We have faith in you all. Thank You....

Maybe its the wierd smell in the air that every thrift store happens to retain or possibly the calm music that flows past my swollen eardrums from the previous night's party...idk what it is..but whatever it is...I love it...Searching to find that dope ass jacket while cracking jokes with the fam are a couple reasons why we thrift. However every once in a while you get this crdaazy butterfly-like light feeling when pick up a piece that teases the barrier of your style's comfortability.(Now I know you know that feeling..YOU KNOW lol) Its that very peice that you cop for the hell of it that later adds extreme character and originality to your entire wardrobe.

The crazy run around this weekend all in the name of art I guess you can say lol. My good buddy Eliseo is cooking up something special for the "people" and by people, I'm referring to the fearless/ the avant garde thinkers/ the artists who aren't afraid to make a splash in this world...I'm referring to the special, creative, and strong minds that live by the fact that their clothing is a canvas simply displaying their creativity. I have nothing but the uttermost love and respect for you guys and girls who go about each day with this outlook on life. That being said, I was honored to work with my boy and aid him in bringing his vision to life. Anywho, enough of my babbling....Here are a few behind the scenes photos of the hustle & grind that took place these past few days......btw I didn't bother to Photoshop these stills, my eyes and brain need atleast a 2 day break lol

Brick Citayy!!

Next day was even Mooore frigid! Hate NY winters...Below is the trustee Volvo..always on the go-go ya kno!

Everything is always better around a bonfire. Jokes are funnier, drinks taste better, that girl that didn't seem all that is suddenly BAD {Everything is Better}. So naturally we started a bonfire. Our dear friend Max aka Mango Man hunted and gathered firewood and treats to start the festivities off proper. (Gotta love chilln with the Niggas).

There is nothing like Pool:: w/The Niggas...

The mellow brutha J~Rad came through to the shop for the fresh one. As the ultra fresh shapey was underway, we politicked, all the while enjoying the ill tunes of Curren$y and a dash of early Wiz Khalifa. Lol my brutha right here is always switching up his facial-hair syles...I'm glad to see him opt for a distinguished and mountain man-esc look to combat yet style-on this season's cooler climate... Do your thang my brutha ~~They see it....Ahh!

Groovy Rhythms

2010-10-11T16:55:00.000-07:00

Few CD's from what seems like way back when that Ive been bumping in the crib these past couple of days. These songs have been the soundtrack to my childhood and bring back memories of me and the siblings buss'n down beef pattys while sipp'n DG cream soda on a ride home from Queens. Those were the freaking days man...everything was stress free...when I reminisce, I feel like I'm flying

Strictly Business 21: 1998 TUNES!

The artwork in the CD's book was aaalways oh so very rock'n to me:

Thrifty Finds: Ralph Lauren Totem Button-Down

2010-09-27T15:37:00.000-07:00

Caught this baby right here off the rebound for $11.99 ....It's an xl but with a little inexpensive tailoring it will be a perfect piece to add to an autumn ensemble. "Top of the totem and everybody onda scrotum".But anywho, fdduck that shit fdduck that shit... the overall thrifting experience in NYC is pretty overrated..if you find yourself in search of a couple vintage pieces, go to thrift stores upstate ny, check your local weekend yard sales, or even good ole' ebay !

I was up late a couple nights ago and was in desperate need of relaxation and an escape however sleep wasn't doing it for me. That being said, I decided to do a tooney sketch of mi amigo numero uno! Lol i kept effin up the proportions on the right eye so I just ripped off that section of the paper out of pure frustration and laziness and just ended up knockin out lol... Enjoy

2010-09-22T08:25:00.000-07:00

Ahhh I wanted these babies right here since the 11th grade. 1 of my clients blessed me with this pair this past weekend and I was just speechless. Although I'm not really into kicks as much I used to be, I can still appreciate a classic air jordan silhouette and the 8s are truly my favorite design. Whenever I get a new shoe, I have a strong tendency of wearing that shoe every single day until I get tired of it lol..Lazy style I guess you can say but fuck it I'm still loved and I'm loving these joints right chea!!!

I'm Still Crushing on...

You Miss. Sade... Ahhhhhhhhhh sigh..... I'd love to drink house jams red wine with you while you sing sweetest taboo to me..Maybe its the lips, maybe the long hair, or perhaps its the funky yet serene dance moves but whatever it is she is definitely a true beauty

-I don't know what it is about bumping classic Sade tracks on rainy days thats just so damn rock'n but its just f*ckin groovey

Birthday Fun & Food

2010-08-03T18:09:00.000-07:00

For us the Summer is a time of many Birthdays. Most importantly MINE!!! July 29th of 2010 was the best day ever thanks to My Sweet Baby Erica and of course all my friends and family. Somehow she rounded up all my friends behind my back and brought them all to the Cheese Cake Factory, where we stuffed our faces and laughed our asses off. Not only did I become a .::Dub[20yrs old]::. but I did it with the people I cherish the most. Thank You all for making my day so special.

Amari...World's Rudest but Cutest

2010-08-03T17:21:00.000-07:00

My little cousin Amari has got to be the most evil child on earth. The only problem is he looks so damn precious. If he's not screaming, breaking something, eating things off the floor, or hitting you he's probably staring at you like he is an angel. Luckily for me and my Sweet Baby Erica*, we know how to tame the evil in this demon child .::Lol::. Somehow we almost managed to make this kid look well behaved in these pics.

Korean BBQ

2010-08-03T16:51:00.000-07:00

BBQ Spicy Squid, Pork, and Beef mixed with a variety of other delicious vegetables prepared Kimchi style with great conversation......Equals one great time in Korea Town. $78 for two people is a little OD, but the food was Oh So Very Poppin. Name of the restaurant...No Idea. But the food and fun I will never forget.

When I was taking these pictures I was bumping "Maxwell- Don't Ever Wonder mp3."in my head lol..Haha smh..Idk it was just the whole chill scenery, the natural dusk lighting, and relaxed vibe that just brought me back to the years when r&b was rhythmic/relaxing and not over-sexualized. But before I go further off topic,enjoy the story of these photos. If somehow you can catch just a little piece of that vibe, than I've done my job.

Funny I stumbled across this video..crazy actually. At like 2am this morning I was watching the actual film and thinking to myself "damn Mookie has a fresh ass cut and those beads are rad." That is two instances in the same day. Obviously some creative pursuit is dying to be manifested...What am I gonna see next, a brolic black dude with four finger rings bumping fight the power?

..::Anywho...Be on the look out for a new piece of some sort::..
