Last Day of Work

So today was officially the last day of work, I enjoyed my time there and met some cool new people. Although I'm glad its over, I will miss being there and the people. Today we ended the last day in an interesting manner. Yesterday we had a ceremony and a luncheon with the chief but due to some family issues he had to leave early. So today he wanted all the interns to come back to headquarters so we could have a meeting and talk. I never had an experience like this, to sit down with other kids and talk to the Chief of the Police Dept. Not many people will be able to do that, so it was quite an honor to be able to. The reason he wanted to talk to us is to ask and try to understand the youth point of view of the police. Now we all know how some of the teenagers are all anti-police and they 'hate' them, but since working with this program I have a whole new respect for them. I never hated the police or had a bad encounter with them so I never had a problem, or a disrespectful attitude or thought towards them but I know people who do. A lot of people forget that police are human too, of course they are going to make mistake and mess up here & there. Its understandable, they're not perfect. But I also think they're some crooked cops out there who do give police a bad name or over use they're power just because they have it. For the most part though, they should always be respected because they put their life on the line everyday when they wake up and go to work. Think about it, they risk their lives just to save the citizens. We run from the shooter and the bullets and they run towards it trying to put an end to it. I commend them for that. So many people say F them and all that other stuff, but the police is the first person they call when something wrong happens. The chief also wanted to know some ways that the civilians and police can find middle ground so that the communities can be better and the youth and police will be understanding of each other and a new respect for each other. Instead of stereotyping, which goes for both sides, that we would just be comfortable rather than scared or intimidated around one another. Throw events to show what being a police is really about instead of thinking its what we see on television. But to sum it all up it was a very enlightening and interesting conversation. Very insightful and I think it was wonderful for the Chief to do that, not many officers do. I enjoyed it and it was a great experience.

Music Monday



New cops

Earlier I said how I got some new shoes, now I'm going to post them up to show what I got. 
First up, the Oreos VI
I love the look of this shoe, has the basic colors, nothing over the top. 
Also picked up the Space Jams, even though they came out in December I'm kind of glad that I didn't cop them back then. A lot of people we're being a typical 'hypebeast' and I knew they was going do too much, so I'm glad I waited till now to get them, because now I barely see anybody with them on.

Sneaker Collection

Lately I've been looking for new shoes to add to my sneaker collection. I decided I'm going to start doing a sneaker collection, ever since I got my job and have the money to buy what I want no matter the cost. It's kind of like a project I'm working on cause I want to document it too, but of course I have to wait for my camera. I've had some shoes in the past that I wish I never gave away or threw away. I feel like now I have to the conclusion of the style I want to posses. I mean when you grow up you go through a lot of phases, and looks. I always had some sort of thought of what my style was but as I matured it came more clearly to me. Right now I have a set list of the shoes I want to get before I go to college. Hopefully they'll still be available for me to purchase when the time comes. Also, even though I said sneaker collection its really just a variation of shoes, like from sperry's to vans, flats, boot, and sneakers. I've got two that I've gotten in the last month that I will post up soon to show. Theres also some shoes I need to get rid of also. But be on the lookout for the footage I'm going to make showing what I have so far.

Something New

Yeah, I know I missed music Monday, but I'm still going to do it today. I got home late yesterday and I was too tired to do anything but eat and go to sleep. I've gotten some stuff over the past couple of days but I'm trying to hold off posting stuff until I get my new camera which I'm suppose to be ordering this week so once I do then you'll see more pictures. Now back to the Music, I was first introduce to this band through seeing them on Madbury Music, I took a listen to their song and loved it instantly, the mellow sound, and the smooth voice of the singer laying her vocals beautifully in tune with the instruments. I instantly downloaded this song to my ipod.

Quality VS Quanity

As I sit here thinking about what clothes I'm going to purchase when my paycheck arrives or through the summer and for school, I've come to thought do I really need this and that and so forth. For me, buying clothes is more than "oh thats cute I want that". I look at the quality of the material, where I'm buying it from and is it something I really need rather than just buying it cause I 'have' the money. I've been cleaning out my closet for some time now, and looking back at some of the things I bought and just wonder "why did I even buy this?" I know I'm not the only one who has asked that same question before. I love clothes and shoes, and when I start building up my wardrobe again, I don't want to have to ask that question, what I buy from now on is what I KNOW I'm going to wear and love. To me, I don't have to own tons of clothes to show "I'm fly" or all that bull people say/do these day. If I have a small amount of clothes, it wouldn't matter to me as long as I know they are the best quality and that I like and can manage with it. People get the misinterpretation that having a lot of clothes or shoes makes you some fashion god or fly as you kids say. Your sadly mistaken. Its about how you present the product you wear, and is the product quality up to par and worth the dollars you spend on it. Because I've seen many people spend more money than they should on items thats not worth it. But its their choice also, I just know when I buy stuff I make sure its worth the bills.

Music Monday and all that Jazz

FOUR more freakin' days till I get paid. I can not wait. I need it. But anyways my day was ok, I went to work as usual. And all day we was moving heavy boxes, I'll probably be ripped by the time its over. I took one of the illest naps ever too. We was on break, so it was acceptable. Came home to chill, took the liberty to go with my mom to the store and stuff. That turned into going to 3 stores and coming home 3 and a half hours later, no complaints over here though I enjoy spending time with my mother. & since today is Monday, it's my job to give you'll Music Monday. Well today I'm going to do it different and put 4 songs that I've been feeling and have in rotation on my ipod for a min. The top one that I will put a video up of is the one I just heard and can't stop playing which is : 

it includes my FAVORITE rapper, HOVA. I really don't listen to Rick Ross that heavy, but I do enjoy this song though. John Legend tops it off with the vocals also.
Also, the other four songs are; 
Lauryn Hill - Lost One
Adele - Melt My Heart to Stone
Blu - So Perfect
Everybody should go and take a listen to these songs, they're worth the listen and way better than this tom foolery called 'music' on the radio today.
