Barack Obama: El Presidente

Barack is officially the candidate for the Democratic party. With his charisma and determination, I questioned the common sense of anyone who thought Hillary had a shot for victory. Leaving the race card out, Obama is going to be a great president, but he has alot of work to fix all of George "I'm the biggest Gangster around and you can't do anything about it" Bush's nonsense. Hopefully, he can end this foolish war, stop looking for weapons of mass destruction, end the war on drugs that is actually funded by the government, break into the poverty line, create more opportunities for ex-offenders, and lower these high ass gas prices. There are so many other atrocites that need to be rectified, but I don't have enough energy to list them all, so I put the main ones that popped up in my mind. Congrats to Obama!!

Nasir vs Famous Firm: Championship Edition

Once again, it's on!!! I had a conference call with the Famous Firm about my marketing and promo for my upcoming novel, tenatively set to be released in the fall. Through the course of discussing photo shoots, publicists, graphic designers, and animators (Yes, I will actually have my own cartoon...Hi Haters!) Sickamore brought up Mr. Black Mamba, the man who is the most focused in basketball right now. Kobe Bryant for those who have NEVER seen Sportscenter.

Sadly, I engeaged Firm in a vicious battle for NBA playoff supremacy and lost, but now the Firm boys are just rubbing things in, rattling off ESPN analysis stats and everything. My team is out. Lakers are in. I want Boston to win, only for selfish reasons. 1. The amount of players on the team who look like me. 2. Becuase the Firm wants the Lakers to win Other than that, Boston, 1 of the most racist places in the North can kiss my ass.

For now, I'm up against these three fellas right here
Phella, the hungriest talent rep I have ever met. He is at the top of his game like he started the heading. (Lil Wayne quote #1,345,2324 from 1 of his 4 million mixtapes)

Sickamore, the ringleader of the Famous Firm and avid Kobe bandwagon and fanclub spokesperson.

Kobe Bryant.

The Firm and Kobe: The war is back on. Phella, this is what you wanted and Sickamore, I don't think you really know what you have gotten involved in. This is bigger than Nas and Hov, Jeezy and Gucci Mane, and all those other hip hop beefs. Nasir vs Famous Firm will go down in blog & internet history.

Nasir Aleem vs Nasir Aleem

Lately, I have been finding myself inside of an internal battle with myself. In Islam, we call it jihad un-nafs, which is the battle against our lower desires. For some reason, I'm moving slower than I should in all aspects of my life. I see myself planning and not executing, knowing, but not acting on the knowledge, and just making choices that aren't going to have the best effect on my life and/or the people I hold close to me. I just haven't figured out who, what, when, or why, but something has to happen. I created a list of things I need to do on a daily basis and that was working well for a few days, but now I'm procrastinating on handling those affairs. I'm at a stagnant place in my life. I don't like it. I'm going to do something about it.

G Shock Designed by Pharrell Williams

I love what Pharrell has done to this basic Casio G Shock watch.

Quino House in Mexico: Architect Augusto Fernando Mas

Blatant disrespect...I love it!!! Designer Gas Masks by Dido Velema

These are definitely a stretch, but at least I have a few pairs of LV sneakers to match the second one... Creatively speaking, these are amazing, like the designer weapons I posted before. I went to an abstract art show over the weekend and it was great to see black art at its best. Think out of the box and do what everyone else isn't.
