I've been crazy busy with life to a point where I haven't been able to sit down and read any of the books or magazines I've purchased. When I was in NY I managed to finally get my paws on Complex's 5th annual design and style issue featuring a double cover of Kid Cudi on one side and Keri Hilson on the other. In regards to Do's & Don'ts I definitely agree. Men take it in or forever be divided into the tackier looking class.

HUMPS

Espadrilles - Saving the world, one androgynous piece of footwear at a time

Rolled - Up Jeans - Cuff your denim not your girl

Basic Backpacks - You don't have to full 'tard to keep it simple, jack.

Five-Panel Caps - A better head game never hurts

DUMPS

Frayed Jeans - Getting laid with that Dane Cook Steeze? Frayed not.

Sleveless Shirts - Totally screams "douchebag"

Huge Earrings - Just make sure you take them off when you fight other girls

Pit Stains - Nobody's sweating you, Funk Doc.

For all you knuckleheads who aren't familiar with that dude Cudi, this video is so necessary. <3 Sigh, I love this dude!

I can't believe I didn't peep this video before! Nothing special but whatever. I'm looking forward to "pursuit of happiness" more than anything!

Odaiba’s Shiokaze Park in Japan. Not sure if its still up but I would love to check it out one day. Tokyo anybody?

I don't do this but I came across an article I saw on Essence magazine regarding an interview with Meagan Good's significant other, Thomas Jones and was compelled to post it.

Thomas tells Essence Magazine

"Don’t expect something you aren’t working towards. Don’t look for a man to respect you when you don’t respect yourself. Everything you do eventually will come back, though it might not happen when you expect. You have to work on you. People say they want a good guy or have been praying, and a lot of time God gives you that time to work on yourself. That way when you do find him, you’re ready. A lot of times, somebody will come across your path, and you’re not ready for that, or you’re looking for something else, and it’s right in front of you."

He also adds:

"A lot of things men do is for women, from wanting nice bodies to jewelry. So when you are in a situation where plenty of women are around you, it’s tempting. But if guys look at the big picture as a whole, it would be easier to make decisions. I’ve been blessed to make it through a lot of situations. Anything I’m doing, if [Megan's] not there, she knows. Period."
