Whoa I have a blog. That’s right, that’s right.

You see, I’m not the best for remembering things..
Anywho, I was tempted to go ahead and finally post something cause last night was my b.day - woot! and the BF took me to go see "Something like a business part II". Its put on my russ parr and had some great talent, it was hosted Donnell Rawlings - I LOVE that guy. He's so fucking hilarious! And the best part was that we had amazing seats; second row up against the wall right next to where the box seating was. Occasionally after a set the comedians would come over and sit in the box next to us, so I was like 5 ft away from them (Donnell R. has the best laugh, its infectious). It was at the Lincoln Theater, right on Ust. The Theater is on the smaller side so it was a great setting, not to mention the inside is beautiful.
After the show all the Guys went next door to Ben's Chili Bowl to hang out and eat and Corey Holcomb was even shootin' the breeze with people outside the venue and selling t-shirts off his shoulder, lol.
It was a great night but I’m still kicking myself in the ass ‘cause I forgot my camera. >_< D’OH!

On a field trip for class today (cute right..) i saw this ad: on the train between Metro Center and Gallery Place and I was like 0_0!!! How awesome?! I'm so glad a youtuber took the time out to record this and upload it cause I don't even know how to explain it! The color in person is much more vibrant and it's a real attention getter, everyone on the train had there eyes fixated on it. I love this concept and hope to see much more of it!

The illl line up of the Clipse, Wale x UCB, J. Cole, Kingpen Slim, X.O. Ra the MC, and Phil Ade…

Mmm.

So I finally made some time to go check out the most badass art show in D.C. Held yearly (this one being its 10th ann.) Artomatic showcases art from students, photo, graphic, musicians, comedians, sculptors; all sorts of artists... you name it - it's there.  It honestly takes a few visits to see everything, I was there about 2 hrs till closing and I only had time to see 2 floors...Basically the reasons I love Artomatic are as such:

A: You can drink :]

B: Young artists = Cool, interesting shit.

& 

C: 9 floors of various art?! FREE?! Sign me up!

So make time to go check out all the good stuff. And after, grab a dog with chili from the On the Fly vendor outside;(trust me, it's organic-junk-foody-goodness) and take a walk down Half St. Its really starting to look quite nice. For Info and Direction to artomatic, click here.

Here are a few snapshots I got of things that were pretty interesting:Titled "birth of a Galaxy" Yarn. (Hmm..)

Ha!! These were a series of Painting inspired to make you laugh! Check out the licence plate!!lmao.

This artist was very consititent in style..The display was like a chalk board and he wrote the prices in between the pieces with corresponding arrows... check out that Che junx.

I forgot who this artist is... But like i said, all sorts of Art by artists from all walks of life.

OMG! My fave! These door knockers are badass! Made of wood and Metal And only $60 bucks.

A piano made out of clothes pins..sexy.

Junkyard Dog.

The respective junk. (So all sorts of Art means you get some "art" inbetween the good stuff.

Check back in a few days for installment Pt.2 of this pic heavy post!

The L.A. Times has officially confirmed that Michael Jackson has died.

I got news only about an hr ago when I flipped on CNN. It's so sad, as I'm writhing this I can't fully believe he's gone. 

Apparently he collapsed earlier today in his home, and was taken to the hospital suffering cardiac arrest. It was then reported that he was in a coma; then not more than 20 minues later they confirm he died.

I can remember walking through the market in EL Salvador about a year ago and hearing MJ's songs blaring from the speakers of the corner CD vender. I got 3 albums for a buck .50 (Sorry MJ! It was a good deal =/) 

He was really such an amazing artist, and despite the controversy that followed him his true fans always loved him; including me. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE M.J., I loved to listen to his music, and loved even more to WATCH him. His dance skills made me so envious! He was a musical genius damnit! I love him so much and I really can’t believe it. His relevance will withstand the test of time and he is hands down, the KING of pop and will always be. No one single artist has come close to MJ. I still can't believe him, even my mom called me to tell me how sad and unexpected this was. 
I’m sure this is horribly written but I just wanted to let of my thoughts as they came to mind.

Been mad busy with Finals and the like, but now school is out (for 3 weeks! =/) and I'm back with some more info...
Now usually, any type of free sh** usually gets me up and out the door, but this one in particular hit close to home :] The Corcoran is offering free Saturday admission for the summer! ( reg. price = $10)
