Cover Boy Revealed.

Tha Kid!

"U come in on vacation....and leave out on probation!"


A quote that perfectly describes life down here in the Magic City of Miami.  Our life has been nothing short of crazy as of late.  Seemingly everyday we're out at a new venue, hanging out with different peeps and just enjoying life to the fullest, which is what life is all about anyways...It's been fun, and it's only gonna continue...for real.

So yesterday we hit up that Miami Swim Week Lounge that was super-cool.  I had a lot of fun, checking out new items in the fashion industry.  Kind of got an Insider's view on what's new in the Swim industry.  From new designer glasses and sunglasses, all the way to new swimsuits, which was kind of cool because this one line had fashion designs featuring sport teams, which proudly had the Miami Heat and LA Lakers two-pieces on display.  Very cool.  They had eats to try out from low-fat yogurt (Vanilla was our flavor of choice) to some other tastes...I tried these "bomb" mini-cupcakes.  The thing about them was that they were alcohol flavored in their variety.  Now I'm not a super hard core drinker, but I had to try this.  And since as of late our taste has been revolving around Champipple , so we tried the flavor called "Champagne Kisses" which was strawberry caked with strawberry buttercream froasting and dark chocolate with Champagne inside...Man, that was off tha chain!  When I throw a shing-dig, we are definitely gonna keep them in mind.  The name of the company is Sweet & Tipsy...Veronica the owner was cool, and we had a good time.

Also, dipped our taste buds into some real good Ricky Rozay.  It was called Whispering Angel, and the beauty who was serving us, talked to us about the difference between good wine and bad wine (Look at the color).  Very tasty...And no fashion party could be complete without a trip to the salon right.  They had ladies getting their hair done.  I'm dead serious, like folkes getting curls and stuff, which was cool.  Our thing of choice though was getting...Gulp!...our fingernails done.  And homegirl hooked us up with some serious pampering and great conversation.  We got our nails filed, coated, re-coated, painted...they even got new polish specifically for males, can u dig that!!  My stuff looks right!  Talked about how males are now taking care of their hands and feet.  And I must admit, my hands felt brand new.  Got some great information on what scrubs to use, and Sea Salts and processes to keep us looking like a billion bucks.  Homegirl was cool, as was so many of the folks we met from Donna to Michelle to Kelly...Much love, and we thank the LRL team for exclusive access to this professional event.  Had fun.

Mercedes-Benz Sponsored Miami Swim Week...Fun in tha Sun!

We was at the Shelborne kicking it, even in the back at the pool which was packed.  But I gotta be honest, it was KILLA hot outside.  Like, I honestly txt my brotha to tell him I was thinking about walking down the street with nothing but my draws on and some flip flops, and I'm not talking about the ones where u see ur toes, I'm talking about those 'hood' ones where the toe of the flops are enclosed and u just got some Hanes socks on!  It was hot, and I just stood in front of Cameo the nightclub, (Wonder how Nas did there last night?), talking to him about the serial temps and stuff...this guy was speaking Cuban (That is a solo language isn't it?!!), but home dude was yelling accross the street at these Miami Beach Cops who clearly wasn't paying much attention to him, but look like he was mad about something that went down in like '76! U got to let that go playa!  But he kept on, and then he walked toward us, while we're on tha phone as always right, and began talking and pointing at the cops 2 us..when he began making motions like he was holding a "gat", that's when I was like, "I gotta get up outta here" and continue to walk to tha crib.

Just so much going on...Then late last night and early last night we were up at Chalk, enjoying life.  It was cool...I told my homegirl Jen, that I wouldn't write too much about it, so I won't.  But I had a lot of fun, just relaxing sharing some wild conversations...and I enjoyed the access to the VIP lounge with our own Music satellite station hookup, Plasma TV, Ping Pong table, and Bubbly, if u choose...A muy fun night...

That's what makes South Beach so unique...u can just do so much within this 3.2 mile radius.  And if u're fortunate and blessed to life here, u can just walk it out like UNK.  I mean, we literally be laying down, and just walk out the door to fun.  We're blessed, and we know it, cuz there ain't too many places around the globe that u can do this type of stuff that's so accessible.  We're taking advantage of it...big time.

Things are really getting to the point where we don't even know what a day may bring forth.  It's a new adventure in some way, shape or form every day.  Just enjoy life, and have fun, that's all dude...I think one thing that we've learned now more than ever is to...how should we say this...Huh? How should we say what we want to see....

If u stay true to who u are, then things would work in ur favor.  Our diary here has been stupid personal.  That's what a diary is about, I know, but still, it's just been weird writing so deeply about our emotions.  We keep saying that, but we continue to feel that way, so we'll keep writing about it.  When things don't go the way u think they should, u get tested.  U begin to think about like, "Are we really as good as we think we are?" Or feel like ur back is up against the wall, or even feel like the nightmare just won't end.  Has anyone else had that feeling, like when u feel like u've done tha best u can...It's almost like u see a girl.  U know u have this "lifestyle" that is wanted by so many.  U do everything in ur power, from sending flowers to her job to giving chocolates to complementing her at every passing moment and even to giving her space.  And yet she doesn't notice you...then this other guy, just comes along and gives her any old line, even calling her (a female dog) and she runs and goes with him, while u're like...it's not supposed to go that way.

That's how life is at times, when u feel like u're following the rules and laws of the earth...Reap what u sow....The American Dream of hard work paying off...or the Chivalry will pay off in the end, no matter what...all those things that u were taught as a kiddo.  As u grow, and u focus those steps (like u should) instead of the result, and u don't get it...u can become frustrated or think what's the use?  Nobody else is doing it, so why should I, and look what they got.  Being real tonight...have to.  Cuz we have and are experiencing some things that some folks just couldn't conceive.  Yet some know exactly where we coming from.  Seemingly it's always on our mind to stop telling our story or stop writing...thoughts like folks won't understand anyway, or nobody's probably reading this anyway...and believe me, it's getting tougher y'all to write.  But what kind of diary would this be if I reach a certain status (Like whatever!)  and not try at least to jot a thought or two that may help someone years down the line while they're in China or in the Armed forces or playing high school hoops...

Sometimes when I'm on the toilet, or thinking about our life and all that we had to go through and have been forced to see...we just shake our head like, "It just don't make any sense?!"  And no matter what we think, that's the only thought that's in our head and mind.  How can u be a captain on a team and not play in a key game?  Or how can u be kicking it with somebody over lunch like a wifey and hubby, and then the very next day she avoids you for no reason explicable?  But whether, even I myself, wants to admit it or not, those different experiences allow u to not only grow, but become even more determined.  Like scary determined, where u know that u're always on ur 'A' game and not gonna let anyone or anybody besides the Great Party Planner in the Sky, determine how ur gonna live ur life, and...on what terms.

Right now, we are in that moment where our life has changed...but we are still not knowing how or with whom?  Boy I feel like writing this thang like them old diaries of 2002...I do...The options to not only our, but all of our life is endless.  So u never know...there is this one gal that we've seen at the gym and exchanged some serious "don't I know you" glances with and possibly (Have to get to know you first) one of the most attractive girls we've seen with tha salt and pepper blond hair and full-figured build, off the charts...and we just wondering if God is gonna give us the opprotunity to tell her that she's one of the very select few that we are in "awe" of how she is crafted...something about her...Not sure why we wrote that, and I'm definitely not gonna write about every girl that catches our eye, but whatever...Not just with girls but with our life, we know that everything isn't always what it seems.  In many ways, we are still this "boy toy" which is fine, but we just wonder is it always gonna be like this...or possibly will it grow to even deeper heights.

Almost done.

All of this is our life.  Have to keep it one hundred and as real as can be.  Think when u've gone through so many tests u feel like u've earned the right to live, bro.  And although I have no idea what is gonna happen in these upcoming hours, I just have a feeling that it's gonna be some major changes up ahead.  The groundwork has been laid, and the dues have been paid.  Now, even though I kinda nervous of not knowing what lays ahead, I know that we're ready to have fun, and share it with those who thirst for it as we do.  It's about to be really on and popping, believe u me...that's not from a snobby attitude.  It's just that u know where ur life is heading...

Without a doubt...straight to the top.
