and many more...
So I turned 19 the other day, and it sure got me thinking.
19! Most people see their 18th birthday as the gateway to their future. I was too caught up with prom/AP's/finals/graduation to even realize that I had hit a milestone.
But now I'm 19.
I mean, I'm a full blown adult now, drinking privileges aside. The problem with that is that I'm not sure I'm prepared to handle the responsibilities that come with adulthood. I have the basics down, but there are certain minutiae that still irk me. While I'm not particularly daunted by the future uncertainties I will surely face, I feel like I'm not on track to adjust to them. Deep inside, hiding under all the machismo and bravado, is a kid, one that is still scared of the real world, no matter how much confidence I think I exude. I don't know why. I feel like I'm behind and I have much to catch up on. Thankfully, I still have three(maybe more -_-) years of college left. Three more years to learn, to grow, to adjust. Three more years until I step into the "Real World". I hope these three years will act as a formative phase, one that will see me emerge as a man, my own being, and the person I will be for the rest of my life.
But I am lazy.
Instead of stacking my sandbags, I prefer to reminisce on my past. Senior Year. Highschool. Being a care-free teenager. Hanging with my friends, neighbors, neighbor's friends, friend's neighbors. Generally not giving a fuck. Childhood. Always the procrastinator, I force myself to mature. While it will not be easy, I am positive that I will come through. I am ready now, or at least I think I am. Only time will tell. Soon I will rub off the "teenager" stamp on my forehead and replace it with a big fat "adult" one. Hopefully in Impact, size 64.

Kehinde Wiley
Painter Kehindre Wiley is bringing his solo exhibition, The World Stage: Brazil, to the Roberts and Tilton gallery in Culver City. Inspired by Mao era propaganda, Wiley recruits young black males and arranges them in various power poses reminiscent of communist posters. For his trip to Brazil he imitated statues of city officials and nationalistic sculptures.
Check out some of his work here.

U-N-I - A Love Supreme
U-N-I's album, A Love Supreme, dropped yesterday. What can I say, U-N-I does it again. Following the release of 2007's Fried Chicken and Watermelon, U-N-I set the internet on fire with the release of a couple of videos. After garnering much attention, and rightfully so, U-N-I set their sights to their follow up along with producer Ro Blvd. A Love Supreme is an album that celebrates life and positivity without sounding preachy. It celebrates cool without being corny, basically what hip-hop should be. Put dope rhymes and production in the mix and you've got a solid album. You can stream and download it for free at yothurz.com.
