AddictedtoBeauty.ca’s Photo of the Day for March 3rd 2010: Stop at Fort Yorkcatharsis. that’s the word of the month. leading up to what will undoubtedly be one of the busiest (if not THE busiest) months of my life, i’ve been thinking a lot.. about the past, about the present, about the future. planning obsessively, thinking about any and all possible pitfalls while weighing my opportunities – the way i usually do.. lately though, in the midst of all that angst, my passion for photography has been the constant..
meaning? you should see lots of AddictedtoBeauty.ca updates in the next little while.. i’ve given up on trying to post a photo a day, but expect random updates at all hours of the night/day when i need an outlet..
as for the Rude Boy Remix.. i wrote my verse immediately after being sent the original track, and i recorded the track about two weeks ago, thinkin that the instrumental was bouncy enough to hit radio airwaves.. now, two weeks later, i don’t like the instrumental as much, and i definitely don’t think this is the most inspired i’ve ever been on a remix.. regardless, i had fun with it and it serves a purpose i guess – enough of my dj friends have asked for exclusives to play on their mix shows to let me know that my intuition was right when i heard the original..
the intro is a bit empty by design for me to shout out djs/crews/radio shows – to other djs looking to play this, get at me for a radio edit. kayceproductions[at]gmail.com
Kobe Bryant’s (Hilarious) New Shoe Ads – Nike ZKV Bruce Lee
February 3, 2010 | Filed Under A Day in the Life | Leave a Comment
saw this first thing in the morning haha.. huge fan of Kobe’s work on the court and also a huge fan of Bruce Lee, but these ads are pretty comical. Kobe imitates a series of Bruce Lee posters, and i can’t really decide if he’s being serious or if he’s doing it as a spoof…….. at least he (and Nike) will enjoy the boost from the viral marketing that’s sure to follow..
the Nike Zoom Kobe Vs should be killer as always, but i’m not sure i’d ever want to rock a pair of yellow kicks.. the four iconic scratch marks on the side of the shoe are a pretty dope tribute to Bruce Lee.

the perfect song for this moment.
Eminem – “Beautiful” Lyrics
(Eminem)
Im just so fucking depressed
I just cant seem to get out this slump
If i could just get over this hump
But i need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises took my lumps
Fell down and i got right back up
But i need that spark to get psyched back up
And in order for me to pick the mic back up
I dont know how or why or when
I ended up this position im in
Im started to feel dissin again
So i decided just to pick this pen
Up and try to make an attempt to vent
But i just cant admit
Or come to grips the fact that i may be done with rap
I need a new outlet
And i know some shits so hard to swallow
But i cant just sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow but i know one fact
Ill be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
Ill be one tough act to follow
Here today gone tomorrow but you’d have to walk a thousand miles
Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What its like, to be me
Ill be you, lets trade shoes
Just to see what id be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside eachothers minds
Just to see what we’d find
Look at shit through eachothers eyes
Don’t let them say you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Dont matter saying you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
(Eminem)
I think im starting to lose my sense of humor
Everythings so tense and gloom
I almost fee like i gotta check the temperature of the room just as soon as i walk in
Its like all eyes on me i try to avoid any contact
Cuz if i do that then it opens the door for conversation like i want that
im not looking for extra attention i just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I dont need no fucking man servant tryin ta follow me around and try to wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke i crack and half of them aint even funny like Hahhhhh
“Marshall your so funny man you should be a comedian god damn”
Unfortunately i am i just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why dont you all sit downn
Listen to the tale that im about to tell
Hell we dont gotta trade our shoes
And you dont gotta walk no thousand miles
Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What its like, to be me
Ill be you, lets trade shoes
Just to see what id be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside eachothers minds
Just to see what we’d find
Look at shit through eachothers eyes
Don’t let them say you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Dont matter saying you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to youuuuu
(Eminem)
Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we’re dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em dont expect no help
Now i could have either just stayed at home sit on my ass and pissed and moaned
Or take this situation with which im placed in and get up and kick my own
I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
And sat on the porch and hope and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in in every single place every school i went
I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid
And edna always told me keep making that face and it’ll get stuck like that
Meanwhile im just standing there holding my tongue trynwa twalk like dwis
Then i stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cuz i wasn’t trying to impress my friends no more
But i already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cuz where you see it from where your sittin its probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile in eachothers shoes at least
What size you wear? i wear tens
Lets see if you can fit your feet
Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What its like, to be me
Ill be you, lets trade shoes
Just to see what itd be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside eachothers minds
Just to see what we’d find
Look at shit through eachothers eyes
It dont matter saying you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don’t let them say you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
So
It dont matter saying you aint beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
So
(Music outro)
Eminem
Yeah
To my babies
Stay strong
Daddy will be home soon
And to the rest of the world
God gave you shoes to fit you
So put em on and wear them
Be yourself man
Be proud of who you are
And even if it sounds corny
Dont ever let anyone tell you you ain’t beautiful
The crazy (ridiculously talented) white boy does it again.
