The local vet. So quaint and sweet.Kick-ass looking tree. Thing to press before crossing the road. Pop-tarts galore! Fave flavour: Frosted Vanilla Milkshake Tagged ‘trash’ can.

Picnic with ma buds.
On Friday the uni threw all new students a bbq/picnic next to the sports center. It was pretty scrumptious. And was a perfect day for a picnic. View of the campus’ fields and mountains surrounding the campus in the distance. My lovely roomies – Jes ‘n’ Siobhan. The rad Miki from japan who wears RAD SNKRS and collects SWATCHES too! Chicken pops! Continue reading Picnic with ma buds.
NEVER AGAIN
Thursday night we went and watched this comedian dude – black guy in skinny jeans and a cardi (quite a rarity). Wasn’t bad. Just kept ranting on about crackheads, ho’s, black ppl and rape.

Jamaica, NY
It was stinking hot today in NY. But after brekky I took the liberty of taking a walk in the streets of Jamaica – not the country, the close-to-the-airport- outer suburb in NY. Felt like I was in some rap video. Plenty of everyday afro americans in HOT SNKRS and baseball caps going about their everyday errands. Lots of weave and specialty nail salons and … Continue reading Jamaica, NY
