Now lets turn to some gadgetry I found this watch while looking for some info the, which I want for traveling. I found this



It is a cell phone watch, now there are many cellphones in circulation overseas but the features and capabilities of this phone watch made me really think what is to come...so I had to share it with you...by share I mean show you the picture because to put down all the specs would take up to much space. Let me show you one more phone watch I was looking at.



I just like this watch because it reminds me of Dick Tracy, or something reminiscent of a Euro spy.

Now to shades...these shades are made by a brand called ...they have collaborated with the clothing brand 3sixteen for these marble accented "Sunday" frames.



Of course I think that they are a good look for Summer. They will be released in June, so look out for them.

Right now other than the Supra Vaiders and the Ato Matsumoto these are the only shoes I feel like I need in my life. They are by designer Raf Simons...




Now those Raf Simons Pocket Trainers show the real art of designing.

Speaking of art we had a art exhibition for one of my favorites Takashi Murakami (did Kanye West's Graduation Album Art Work, and multiple work for Louis Vuitton).
The exhibition took place in the Brooklyn Museum. The opening night that I wish I was at included performances by Kanye West, Murakami's art, many vendors, and limited edition products from Louis Vuitton.
Here are some pics from the event. Enjoy.






After finding the Pocket Trainers and thought to post it...It made me think of everything I want to buy.

Big Monday Recap: UConn vs UNC

It's been almost a week since these two stalwarts played. But it took that long for me to recover from watching it.

Marked off on my calendar as one of the most important games on UConn's schedule (second only maybe to the home and home series vs Rutgers), this game lived up to all the hype. It reminded fans that March isn't the only time college basketball is fun.

#1 vs #3 is certainly a game with a feasible chance of an upset and in the first half it certainly looked as if that's exactly what would happen. UNC came out of the gate strong with an 8-0 run that quieted down a capacity crowd in Hartford.

It took nearly 5 minutes for UConn to get a rebound by which NC had 7 and 2 second chance shots. Charde Houston, after starting just her 5Th game this season, had been relegated to the bench because of lack of effort. She was once again in Geno's proverbial dog house. Tina Charles remained on the court mostly because without aching Brittany Hunter there was a lack of depth at the post position.

All this resulted in an 11 point galf time lead for the Tar Heels. A lead that could have been substantially bigger if it were not for the hot shooting of Renee Montgomery who was 4/6 from behind the arc.

The second half started with the run that you knew the #1 team in the country was bound to make. The run was 15-3 and it gave the Huskies their first lead of the night.

It was any body's game from there and both teams knew it. The Huskies built a 65-59 lead before the Tar Heels rattled off 10 straight. But UConn wasn't finished yet and they responded with a 9-0 run to give themselves a 74-69 lead. Latoya Pringle would cut the deficit to 3 at the 3:27 mark but that would be the last basket UNC scored.

During the second half Charde Houston redeemed herself scoring a season high 15 points. A performance that everyone involved with UConn hopes is the start of her season turning around. Sh ewent on to say that it was Having Mel Thomas (who is out for the season with a torn acl) sitting behind the bench yelling at her to play to her potential inspired her to that performance.

The Huskies ended the game on a a barrage of free throws. The ladies of Uconn seemed determined to come out victorious in the first real test since losing Thomas to her injuries. Thomas is the second starter to go down this season so UConn's depth is not what it used to be.

It was a hard fought game that truly had a final four feeling to it. Two Teams. Two Hall of Fame coaches. Two freshman point guards. Two All American post players. This was about as good a matchup as one could find at any point in the season.

Game Notes:
-The crowd of 10,167 marks the first women’s basketball sellout at Gampel Pavilion since Jan. 27, 2007 vs. Notre Dame.
-UConn senior Mel Thomas was honored prior to the game for scoring her 1,000th career point on Dec. 5 vs. Virginia.
-UConn improves to 177-9 when playing as the nation’s No. 1 ranked team
-UConn junior Renee Montgomery became the 30th player in UConn history to register 1,000 career points

Successful Relationships in College….I think not!!

What exactly is the definition of a relationship, and why do students get into them while in college? Is it the spending the time with that special one who you will grow to love and care about? Is it being with the one you think about even in your dreams? Is it to hopefully find that one to call your husband or wife OR….is it just the SEX or just the LUST or just the COMPANIONSHIP?

When entering a relationship, what is it that you see in the other person? Is it there personality? Is it the way they make you laugh and smile. Is it the way they hold you so tightly in your arms? Is it the way you can be yourself and talk to that person about any and everything without them judging you or looking at you different or weird? Or is it because that person is “sexy as hell” or “fine as ever” or “p.h.a.t. as ****”?

Through experience and from what I’ve seen, the art of relationships while in college is DEAD. Both partners get into it thinking it’s going to be so great and perfect.

But after the trust issues, jealousy, flirting, arguments, and more, a thing called REALITY kicks in.

Is there such thing as the perfect relationship……HELL NO!

College is an experience of its own in which many will never forget. It is where we make stupid mistakes, where we learn from them, where we grow past them, and become even better people than before.

It is where you also learn who YOU really are, who your REAL friends really are, and what your place is in society, and throughout the campus community.

Who‘s to blame for the break up? Why are things so difficult? Why can’t the relationship last?

As the saying goes, “It’s easier said than done” and relationships in college fit in with that category without a doubt.

Being in a relationship while in college is a task of its own. Having to worry about your classes, a job, ones social life, athletics, and more is already a lot to handle and also stressful at times, and being in a relationship may add to it.

What are the problems you ask, and why are your friends or maybe even you single?

Tune in next week to find out………………

Young Fresh

Lebron has the Sole of a Yankee

So, he might be born, raised and played his whole life in Cleveland.

But the King ( or prince) has I Love New York surrounding him.

He's good friends with the King of New York (Jay-Z), is so much of a Yankee fan that he even wore a Yankee fitted while in the stands at last years Indians vs Yankees playoff game. Oh and word has it, that's his favorite city. Oh and did I mention he's a free agent at the end of the year?????


Well for the second time, Nike and Lebron have dropped a New York themed shoe. The first time was only 225 pairs at a pop up Nike Store in Soho of the Lebron Zoom IV. This time around it's a Yankee inspired (pinstripes and all) Lebron Zoom V.



Maybe it's all conspiracy theory, or Nike knows that the New York market is one (if not) the biggest for selling kicks. Oh and the Yankees sell more merchandise than any other baseball franchise. So they're going after that $$$$$$$$. Smart move Nike Marketing.

What do you think????,

Mr. Talented

I'm feeling them though, especially the "Fresh for 08 Suckers!" ..

Political Mess....."Who Let the Dogs Out"

Now, I haven't been keeping up with the Political Race as much as I should. However, it's been getting more and more racially intensified.

So with that here are two different clips this week.

1. Barack was asked if he thought "Bill Clinton was the first Black President?"
I like his response because first he answers the question, then he closes it with on a lighter side, joking at the end.




2. WTF was Mitt Romney thinking. Well, he thought he was being cool. He wasn't, but it sure is funny to see. 2 things to listen to:
a. "Who Let the Dogs out, woof woof"
b. While looking at a toddler, "I see you got your bling bling on"



Hilarious....Priceless
oh these candidates....

Mr. Talented
p.s.
John McCain voted against Martin Luther King Day as a National Holiday... not once, not twice, BUT THREE TIMES ... Damn

Rick Ross on the Sean Taylor incident

So, as I was checking through the aftermath of the Sean Taylor death (R.I.P. so tragic)...

I came across an article in which Rick Ross chimed in on the subject.

I respect Rick Ross alot, and his presence makes me concur with lots of statements that he makes.

During the discussion, comes his stance on how Sean Taylor, because of previous situations, was underprepared for the situation. As Ross states:

"You know he had to take a little heat for the past situation and he felt like he couldn't have that in his possession."

In essence he's almost blaming Taylor's inability to use "tools" necessary to defend himself and his family because of the media scrutiny that came while he had the necessary "tools".


My take is that Rick Ross is speaking on the naivety of the media, fans, and public about people that are from or live in certain places.

The incident comes from the first time Taylor defended himself from a "robbery" and the "tool" that was found at that moment.

So the same thing he was once chastised for having, could've saved his life.


I think it was a death that could have been avoided by many different measures, however, we don't know Taylor's full life and what people saw about him to try and get to him in particular. But, Stars/Athletes/Entertainers are like everyone else and need ways to protect themselves against others that try to "touch" them. As Ross says:

"You know he had the previous charges and whatever and he couldn't have one (a gun). That's just it though, you got to protect your life and your family. Anybody out here reading this...I'm sorry that's just my stance on it."

But what do you think.???

are athletes who keep "tools" to protect themselves in the wrong????

Mr. Talented

shout outs to all the r.i.p. sean taylor facebook groups and the outpouring for the situation he was faced with

Scoring Machine

He's Scoring, Scoring, Scoring...da da.. he's a Scoring Machine...

He's almost automatic, especially from 3pt.

His scoring to minutes ratio is almost one to one.

He's a beast and a walk on freshman. Who might you ask??

Conner Teahan

The Freshman from the number 2 Kansas Jayhawks. He's like a mini celeb now, he has 4 Facebook groups ( my favorite Your Damn Straight I Love Conner Teahan!), and has clips of him scoring on youtube.

At one point he was shooting 80% from behind the arc (8-10) and my favorite stat in 44 minutes he had 45 points.

don't believe me, here's what the coach and media have to say about him



Teammates won't even play H-O-R-S-E with him.

Imagine when he starts gettin real minutes...
We'll have to change his nickname to "Buckets"
