Technology And Fashion



















I've noticed lately that the futuristic look in fashion is starting to grap my attention. Back in the days i used to see it in movies and such, but never thought that it would be fashionable. But one day i was at a friend's house and thats when i saw Lady GaGa and i was like "Damn, this bitch got style"...then i've also noticed that other celebrities were starting to rock the futuristic look...like Kanye West, J*Davey, Brittney Bosco, Fergie...Etc. and now that this futuristic thing has gotten my full attention...i really think that this will be a good look for me! So what do you guys think? Is this futuristic style is something good or just another fashion flop? :-)

Santigold works on New Album with Pharrell Williams



Santigold starts work on new album with Pharrell Williams

Santigold has started work on the follow-up to her 2008 self-titled debut album with producer Pharrell Williams.

The singer told NYLON that she had enlisted Williams as well as Diplo and Switch, who worked on her debut, and rap/dance outfit Spank Rock on production duties on the album.

She explained that she plans to begin the proper recording process of the album in August, although she had already laid down a few "bucket"-related ideas with Williams.

"We went in the studio and he [Williams] was like, 'I'll just play the buckets'," she said. "It was like, 'Boom, ah, buh-doom, ah!'."

Santigold listed Otis Redding and '80s rapper Egyptian Lover as influences for the forthcoming album.

Mushroom (Free Write)


i'm a mushroom
i'm so rare
to where...
i cant be mocked by any species
of any kind
you can't put me in a blind
of any box
because i think more clever than the fox
my legs...
are so well grounded
and my mind is so strong minded
and my words are so powerful
to where you will think that i'm selling soul
though my mouth may be a little foul
but no you can't buy my vowels
to make it yours
because my soul pours so sweet
and heavy with mood like honey
the moment you take a look at me
you'll think that my spirit is golden
like honey-wheat bread
you're so well and formed
but i am torn
in this reflection of your
dreaded airy thoughts
but with my eyes you'll get caught
in the estasy...
of how many struggles
that i had in my past lives
but i have to strive to speak freely of my time
but i am so rare for you to even bare
with a scare of my beauty
i...can't be mocked by any species of any kind
can you put my world in a bind
or a box with sox
my legs are so well grounded
like the willow tree
and i can see through thee
but really...
i am the rare
mushroom

Written Scrapes (from my iphone)



these are are some thoughts and ideas that ive been writting in my iphone while i was bored...lol


Bakers last for a dozen
Your lies last for none-zen
People say say that what we have aint easy
But inside the cream filling
It aint always sweet
Whenever we're in public
Our hearts act like they dont miss a beat
With their thoughts in heat
Thristing for the penatraction of being loveed by someone
But really on the inside we keep molding to it's rot
All you want to do is sit and smoke pot and snort rocks
I can't even tell if we were on the same rhythm or what not
Wished that i would of knew the real you...the inner you
And now you just mold this cake to blue
