Reincarnation is real or clever marketing ploy for this book...

From Fox 8 Cleveland's website:

Child's Nightmares and Memories Prove Reincarnation:

It is being called the most documented case of reincarnation ever.

A little boy is able to recall over 50 memories from someone else's life.

A World War II Pilot's family believes it is their reincarnated brother based on the child's memories.

The boy's story is so compelling, it has been published in a new book called "Soul Survivor."

Fox 8's Suzanne Stratford spoke exclusively to the child and his family.

"Blu" is the Color of the Week

It's Summertime in LA...and if summer had a color it'd have to be Blu(e). Blue skies, the Ocean, Dodger blue, and fresh from San Pedro is Blu, the best thing in hip hop goin right now when you wanna relax your mind and stare at those blue skies all summer. Blu has to be the chillest sound I have heard in a long time...and you cant help but wanna let any creativity you've been hiding flow out through your ears with these joints. I saw Blu & Exile open for Wale at the Key Club in LA and he stole the show...half the crowd left after he was done...even with Wale comin' next.

DJ Heat Presents Blu- (So)ul Amzing (Part 2)

Start with this album, Blu & Exile's "Below the Heavens" (2007) is straight masterful.


Blu...not to be confused with Blu...a crew of unbelievable graffiti artists who have created some of the most mind blowing pieces I have ever seen (See: "MUTO" dropped in the Study Hard post). All I can say is...twist it if ya got it.

Lastly. Baby Blues BBQ in Venice ain't bad. Don't judge them by the color of their skin...pretty good BBQ with a twist.

Study Hard

Whack-ass job? Or maybe you're bored to the point of drooling on your damn self in that pointless-ass required class of yours? And when you try to find release in your one true love music, all you got is some lame, generic-ass auto-tune playlist, and if you're unfortunate enough to get cable tv, you're paying for music television that doesn't play music anymore or to watch some untalented fugly chick get a day job. Even worse, when you try gettin out into the world, all you're left with is the same lame ass dive bar with Journey on loop and that creepy ass regular dude that seems to know every female in that shady-ass stank smelling disgrace to Gaia our earth mother. Well we say fuck that, and in turn, Fuck Your Life.
