Just came back from my trip to Anguilla with Jahnee. We had such an incredible time and not even pictures could really do justice. We spent everyday on a boat or yacht, watched the sunset, made amazing new friends, drank too much, partied, when night sea swimming in a tropical storm, snorkeled, and saw so many beautiful things. I am truly blessed.

LYRICAL CRACK
I've always been addicted to this song. The lyrics, I think, are relatable to everyone's life in one way or another. I have been "Mr. Intentional" and I've known a few as well. So often we don't really listen to the words of our favorite songs. I mean REALLY listen. In a world where music has lost it's soul and focus of truly inspiring and THOUGHT PROVOKING lyrical content, can I really be mad? HELL YES...and I'm pissed! ok with that said please read these lyrics that are close to my heart and soon to be close to yours...
"Mr. Intentional"
Yeah, yeaaayh, yeah heh, yeah heh, yeah heh...
See the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Can't you tell the way they have to mention
How they've helped you out; you're such a hopeless victim
Please don't do me any favors,
Mr. Intentional
All their talk is seasoned to perfection
The road they walk, commanding your affection
They need to be needed, deceived by motivation
An opportunity, to further situation
Why they so important, is without explanation
Please don't patrionize me,
Mr. Intentional
Oh, ohhh, ohh ohhh
We give rise to ego by being insecure
The advice that we go desperatly searching for
The subconscious effort to support our paramour
To engage in denial, to admit we're immature
Validating lies,
Mr. Intentional
Open up yours eyes,
Mr. Intentional
Stuck in a system that seeks to suck your blood
Held emotionally hostage by what everybody does
Counting all the money that you give them just because
Exploiting ignorance in the name of love
Stop before you drop because that's just the way it works
Please don't justify me,
Mr. Intentional
Oh one dimensional,
Mr. Intentional
Ohhh, oh don't you do me any favors
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohh ohhhh
Wake up you've been sleeping
Take up your bed and walk
Stop blaming other people
Oh it's nobody else's fault
Accept the truth about you
You know that life goes on without you
And your expensive misinventions
Disguising your intentions
Don't worship my hurt feelings,
Mr. Intentional
Oh, oh oh oh
See I know you can't help me,
Mr. Intentional
The only help I need to live,
is unprofessional
The only wealth I have to give,
is not material
And if you need much more than that,
I'm not available
Please don't entertain me,
Mr. Intentional
Oh I dont need your sympathy,
Mr. Intentional
Stay away from me,
Mr. Intentional
So one dimensional,
Mr. Promotional,
Mr. Emotional,
Mr. Intentional
Ohhh ohhhh, ohhhh

Artist Spotlight: RETNA and EL MAC
I first saw Retna and El Mac's work on Western in LA a few years back. They drew this beautiful woman and I immediately remember thinking "I wanna feel whatever she's feeling cuz it looks damn good". The painting was so large with so much detail that I nearly got in an accident trying to look at it. Finally one day I just pulled over and really viewed it in all it glory. The particular picture I'm talking about is below and I think is still over there on Western and Sunset. Check it.
Today I happened to come across another piece by them on 6th and Maple near skid row
Below are a few of their individual works
