SURVIVING THE CHINATOWN BUS


“Cause when your on the China town bus you can’t think about it. You got’s to be about
it.”

Aright so you jumped out of bed its like 8:44 and you need to get your ass to NY real quick like. Now its early you aint packed shit but you know you gots to get movin. Try to keep it simple the trips going to be raw so dress comfortably but your also going to NY so at least make sure you looking a little hard body. Yamean? Sweatpants is cool I like to run the all black kit including leather sneakers (Incase of rain), you know. Something that says “YO I’m on my O-9 grind!, So stay out my way! ” After you got your gear on, your ready to roll to the train.
But SDon? What about brushing my teeth? What about breakfast? Isn’t that the most important meal of the day? Aint I need some vitamins or something?
To that I say, “Chill Dunny” your mans got the plans.
Aright so now your on your way down the street. That’s when you hit up your mans who lives right by the station. If you knows your man he’s tryin to ride and you know he does it proper in the morning you can smell the coffe when you get to the door and possibly even the sizzle of pancakes*. “Knock Knock” “who is it” “Bong rips son !” “Oh word God “ Yo truth be the word son “ bet” (door opens).
Aright so grub them cakes and drink at least 1.48 to 2.13 cups of coffee (anything less than 1.48 is useless but is also the minimun needed to to get you to the bus. Anything more than 2.13 might keep you up incase your trying to pass out on the bus.)
Next check your time you should be looking at atleast 40 to 32 minutes of time before you got to be at 11th and arch catching that bus. If this is so, pack that bong or rolls the fox up because now its really time to get ready. Yamean!? You should also be trying to get a little CNN on or a little MSNBC during this time. 1 because its important to go into your day having a global outlook and sense of what is going on all over this planet you live on. Lifes bigger than Philly or NY and if you meet some ill Political science major on the bus and this Jawn wants to talk about the Gaza strip or Samali Pirates your going to look like a ignorant ass chump.
Aright BUNG now you got like 25 minutes till departure. Make sure you got your shit in your pockets . If you got a bag make sure you got your I pod, laptop, cell phones, chargers, 1st disk of planet earth, etc are all accounted for. AND YOUR OFF to the train!
Slick mugs like me and my mans know how to time this train shit. Ideally you walk onto the platform as the train doors open and you glide in greezy on that VIP shit. But don’t sit down baby boy. Uh Uh. You still on mission mode. Stand near the doors and be the first one out that shit. But being by the doors also means getting to make the decision at other stops on weather or not the mug just getting to the turnstyle is going to get the door held by or pending time restraints may be getting the srry wave goodbye while your pointing to your casio watch.
Ok so your off the train and you are a block away from the bus. You realize you still got 10minutes. Damn! Its like you were on some time warp shit coffee got you moving and got you focused enough to navigate the maze while the buddha has you on that lucid self peace shit so you don’t stress all the haters on the train trying to harsh your mellow, because they see that yous that dude trying to take his. With this ten minutes bust into the WAWA. Grip a toothbrush, Listerine, a strawberry yogurt or your preferd flavor and large bottle of water. “but why Est-O? I know I need to brush and rinse but Yogurt? Water? You sound like you on some Yoga health shit son!”
Na dog , feel me on this. At this point the pancakes have turned to wet cement in your stomach and that mixed with 2.3 cups of coffee could have your stomach on some ruff shit. Now the yogurt has all those ill micro bacterias that will break down food and keep your digestive system as chill as your irey ass looks. Wit your Kiwi colored sunglasses on in the train even though its overcast and shit. And water son. This water son! This water right here! This shit is Def! But seriously hydration is key my man. If you aint properally hydrated your straight playin yourself. Doctors have straight proved that your like 70% water and that you need that shit to live. And if you aint stayin moist your body suffers physical and mentally. That be the truth son son. I read that shit in a book dog. . like last year… while I was in college… or you know when I was seein this girl who was in college. Yo but forget all that. Now you got all your supplies. Jump on the bus and et your hand to hand on with the china man on the bus you know sliden’em that 20 and getting that ticket. Seriously make sure you don’t let them dudes try to play you on some “ No you onry payed fur one! Ten mor Darrurs!” Fuck all that sheet.
Once you one get settled grab that brush and Listerine go get your mouf clean. Rinse with some of that water. Now you feelin clean, mouth all fresh and sheeet. Proceede to maybe get some light work done on your laptop or eat a valium turn your I pod on and zone in and out of consiousness for the next to hours. Enjoy the ride!

*Some of yall might be on some did this nigga say “pancakes?” Hell yeah I did! Real G’s know a hot stack of pancakes can sustain a full grown man for the whole day if necessary, sheeeeeeeet.

Supreme X Digorno



        Three days before Supreme prepares to release its long awaited collabo with industry giant DiGiorno Pizza, lines have already begun to form. The collaboration came to fruition in response to street wear enthusiasts’ demand for a more “Banging off the chain” brand of do-it-yourself pizza. Supreme creative director Brendon Babenzien said “Their perseverance and commitment to quality in a time of two-bit swagger jackers really paralleled Supreme’s beliefs and journey through the industry. Also, their abundant use of toppings truly represented what it is to be Supreme.” When asked about other possible collaborations, Babenzein told us, “There really was no other choice. Mama Celeste lacked what we thought was necessary in the toppings department as were Antonio’s and Tombstone, which had initially been chosen due to their “hardbody” name.” The first five hundred released will also include an “exclusive” Supreme pizza cutter sure to be sought after by true collectors. In preparation for the launch Supreme NYC has converted their normal retail space to a pizza parlor for the day, dolling out the pizza with the delivery taste that is actually not delivery but instead Digorno….SUPREME! The release is expected to retail for $115.00 a box and have already leaked onto E-bay for $310.00 pre sale.

Lynx's Be Like Now You See me Now You Don't

So last night I am watching some NJN with my mans and dem at the crib. For all of yall who don’t know about the NJN (New Jersey’s Public Television and Radio network) it’s the truth. I mean I am sure your town has something like it. It’s got a mix of PBS NOVA Animal Planet and BBC. Anyway so you know were faded and all of a sudden were watching this documentary on the Lynx called “Lynx: The Elusive Hunter”. And it was so crazy to learn about all the hardships these Lynx’ses got to endure just to survive the first year of live. In the beginning these cats can’t even see! They helpless just chillen in the den waitin for moms to finish huntin so they can get that breast milk. yamean?
But after just one year they are able to start huntin and murking shit out on their own. And I mean like on some vicious slick shit. They were straight pouncing on rabbits and all sorts of quick shit that you or I could never catch with our garbage eye sight and less than impressive reflexes. Then I learned that Lynx are rarely seen making them very mysterious animals of the forest. “Back in the day in Europe (that spot above and to the left of Asia) it was said the lynx was able to produce a gem. According to many bestiaries, the Lynx would urinate in a hole that it had dug in ground, and then cover it with dirt. The urine would form a gem after so many days. Forcing the Lynx to produce the gem was believed to be a devilish act. Many Medieval naturalists identified the gem as a carbuncle, which is an archaic term for the garnet. The typical feline behavior was interpreted as being somewhat "miserly" according to Medieval observers.” -Wikapedia What!? What!? Yeah, bet you didn’t even know about that. I’m about to cop like a farm of the those jawns and straight start slanging gems Yahmean? Lynx’s be on that straight miserly now you see me now you don’t shit and they be consortin with the Devil? That’s some G ass shit for a 30pound mammal. I mean serious they can do that when there like two years old. I don’t know one 2year old that could murk a deer. Do you? After realizing how beast these creatures are I was inspired to fined me some Lynx gear or gear inspired by this G ass mystical creature, so of course I popped it into the google. GOOGLE SEARCH: “Ill ass Lynx gear.” But nothing came up. I Know! I was like watchyoo mean no Lynx gear. Anyway I searched some more and did find this. It wasn’t as dope 0r vicious as the Wild Lynx of Europe but they still man. Check It!
