I started a Tumblr out of boredom, but I’ve found that it’s been one of the coolest random pastimes I’ve jumped into as of recent. It’s called Trill Flyers, and basically, all I do is find awesome flyers for events and post them. I’m not talking about promoting these events, because some of them have past. In fact, I recently put up a Harry Houdini (you know, that awesome magician guy who would get locked up in shackles underwater and still find a way out? The distant cousin of failed magician [and unfortunately, my distant relative], Modini?) poster from around 100 years ago.

Nobody I know made it to this joint. Grandpa wasn’t even an afterthought at this point.

But really, it’s a cool little side venture that has taught me how to utilize Tumblr in different ways, and how some flyers are better than the actual event they’re promoting. Check it out: http://trillflyers.tumblr.com. Follow it, reblog my posts, favorite them, “like” them, all that good stuff. Oh, and make sure you send me the coolest flyers you come across. I’ll do a better job of citing the creators of the flyers if I know them, but don’t just send me your $#!t and ask me to post it. It better be TRILL. Look at the previous postings to see what my definition is, and go to the site to find out how to send them my way.

Thanks!

i’m just playing. don’t go the “suicide” route. the thing the flow chart fails to tell you is that if you take that route, you won’t be alive to enjoy the fact that you are no longer fat.

truthfully, the reason i’m posting this is because my homie tahir (@tahirtweets, follow the man, he’s a director-in-the-making, so you heard about him first here. or maybe somewhere else. but here as well.) wrote me up a POWERFUL workout plan after i asked him how he went from the average local joker to this guy:

that’s tahir. embrace his fitness for a little bit. i mean, let’s be real. the man is in solid shape. the shape that most of us have been aiming for since we were in middle school. and frankly, enough is enough. we’ve gotta join him. he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle that many of us don’t embrace, so let’s get it! most blogs don’t do this. but i’m not most blogs; far from it. hopefully you regulars know that by now. the newbies, you’ll get the gist fairly quickly.

before i digress, here’s the workout. if you just wanna glance at it, check it after the drop. if you’d like to download, the link is below. it’s a word document, 3 pages long, and written in such a way that you can follow easily and feel where he’s coming from. i believe it’s something that both a male and a female could do. i’m dropping this today, friday august 7, so you can download now, and after partying and such, come monday, you can start the week right. hit the comment section if you’re confused or have questions, as tahir will be on-call, responding as quickly as an online technician for best buy or t-mobile would.

Having immigrant parents that work for the World Bank has its perks. Who am I kidding…it is the power move of all power moves. I was able to go to the best  high school in the nation for virtually nothing (yep. They paid for the majority of Sidwell. Why? I don’t know. But now I know why all the minority kids had parents that worked there too. Makes sense, right?), and I get more free flights (via my parent’s frequent flyer miles) than Cab Calloway at the height of his success! Passport has been on pivot before I could walk.

There’s not much to this video, actually. Just a random excerpt from my life that I stumbled upon and figured I’d throw up. It’s me, my mom, Eki, and Kalaya hanging out in this nice little square we came across while roaming the streets of Paris on a quick, 5-day power move to the world’s most romantic city. Circa ’09. Check my French, too. I’m nice. Eki sucks with the camera, by the way. I showed somebody the video and they got motion sickness just from watching.

Take this while you’re at it, too:

Pharrell’s verse steals the show. Painting a vivid picture.

if you were one of the 5 lucky contestants to receive a chillin’ tee in the mail from yours truly, then kudos to you. if you happened to get your hands on a tee somehow, then great work. now, if you didn’t get a chance to get the OG version of the tee, it’s all good. the guys over at good bully got you covered with the chillin’ tee, version 2.0.

i don’t know what the difference is, and i’m assuming there is little to none. i haven’t seen the tees yet, but my man adrian over at real mango juice assures me that they’re just as trill as the ones that came out a while back. i feel like they’ve got different colors coming, too, but that’s just me talking out loud. grab them ASAP at the good bully online store.

also, my man chris from no hypebeast (in collaboration with go fresco) threw me some pretty good civilian footage of wale’s show at the 9:30 club. check it out below.

keri hilson is the sexiest woman in show business as of december 5th, 2008. good lord. and did i just see the woman from real housewives of atlanta? damn! how much money do you have to hang to be in that circle? that’s a real billionaire’s boys & girls club. i saw a report on the gilt groupe on TV once, apparently it’s like the most exclusive fashion circle of all time. invite only! i’ll give $1,000 to anybody who can prove to me that they are a member (besides you, kenny). try your luck by attempting to log in to the site here. i failed. miserably. 17 times.

UPDATE: i’m now a member, who is out of $1,000. ha. what up!
