Find Your Love






[Drake]
I’m more than just an option
Hey, Hey, Hey
refuse to be forgotten
Hey, Hey, Hey
I took a chance with my heart
Hey, Hey, Hey
And I feel it taking over

[Chrous]
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I bet if i give all my love
then nothings gonna tear us apart

I’m more than just a number
Hey, Hey, Hey
I doubt you’ll find another
Hey, Hey, Hey
so every single summer
Hey, Hey, Hey
I be the one that you remember

[Chrous]
and I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I bet if i give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart

it’s more than just a mission
Hey, Hey, Hey
you hear but you don’t listen
Hey, Hey, Hey
You better pay attention
Hey, Hey, Hey
and get what you been missing

[Chorus]

too many times I’ve been wrong
I guess being right takes too long
I’m done waiting, theres nothing left to do
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
but give all I have to you and
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I bet if I give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart

I bet if I give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart
[End]




Drake really went in on this song. He showed his diversity by not only being able to rap and mix in singing but to sing on a whole track and arguably make this the best r&b song of the summer. Kanye of course makes a unique sounding beat that just gives this song a really chill relaxing vibe and its almost 808's & Heartbreak sounding. Almost has a robocop feel but a tad more upbeat but regardless this song is something anyone can relate too, guy or girl. People who dont appreciate real music will write this off but this has more meaning and music is one of the best ways to express emotion. I have heard this song nonstop since it dropped and I know I wont be the only one.

Drake- "Find Your Love" (produced by Kanye West)



Drake released another song off of Thank Me Later called "Find Your Love" and since Kanye produced it, it has a major 808's & Heartbreak feel to it. Of course Drake can go R&B and sing with or without autotune I think he does pretty well on this song. Again like i've said before people won't like it at first but it will be in the ipod for sure.

Los Spurs!



Tonight is game 5 of the Spurs/Mavs series and to me I think it has been the most heated rival series and most competitive, not just because the spurs are in it. Every game has been close and both sides have gone on 17-0 runs and came back to keep it close every game until the final minutes in the 4th. Spurs have shown how they are a strong hearted team and you can never count them out. Even though their age has shown in some of the games, they have other big time players that have shown up like George Hill and DeJuan Blair who lit up game 4. Its going to be an exciting game tonight especially because its win or go home for the Mavs. Hard for any team to come back from being down 3-1 and especially against an experienced spurs team. NBA decided to put one of the best games on tonight on NBAtv so many wont get to see the game but hopefully there will be some place showing it tonight so be prepared to watch hopefully a spurs victory and allows them to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Go show your support for your team but remember GO SPURS GO!

Chris Brown ft. Tyga- Holla @ Me




Chris Brown is back at it with his rapping style and he teamed up with Young Money's Tyga Tyga. Kind of different from Chris brown but he has started rapping on a few more tracks like Drakes ransom where he freestyles with Rock City. Its a good look but definitely away from his fan base. Definitely tried to pull off two different Jordan series shoes, One is the oreo 6 and one is the bred 11. Of course Chris is tearing it up dancing because he is a genius in that sense but see what ya think.

Go Spurs Go!




Well its that time of the year again where everyone is sitting around a tv somewhere whether it be at home, friends, BWW or some time of sports bar but its NBA Playoff 2010 time. Its kind of good and bad though because people come out of the wood works with favorite teams that I didnt know they were a fan of until the playoffs come around. Its time for the bandwagon fans (Lakers, Celtics) who usually are the teams that everyone loves right about now. Either way I will admit I do like watching Kobe and LeBron play because they are the two best in the game right now but as far as going for the Lakers, not a chance. Spurs are behind right now 0-1 to the Dallas Mavericks, with the second game coming on tonight. Hopefully they pull it out because their BIG 3 (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili) are getting up there in age but then again so are the two heavy impact players for the Mavs (Dirk & Kidd). If there was a team that knows how to play under pressure that would be the Lakers and the Spurs, hence the reason that those two teams share 8 of the last 11 championships, splitting 4 a piece. That shows that they have been there and know how to win rings so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the playoffs will play out. Get ready for the game tonight because I'm sure they are gonna come with it tonight!





GO SPURS GO! Hopefully the series will be tied 1-1 and take it back to San Antonio.

NBA 2010 Playoff Kicks




These are the new KD II "Home" edition and these are soooo crazy! Can't wait for these to be released because these are definitely going to the added to the collection soon






These are also the new KD II "Aways" Pretty much all black but with a BIG version of the KD initials with hints of blue and orange. He brought these out yesterday and we'll see if these hit the shelves as well.





These are the new LeBron VII Postseason or "Playoff Home" edition and are very similar to the Jordan Concords. These are the only postseason pair that I like so far but its early in the playoffs so no telling what else is coming out.







The Kobe V "Kid Hollywoods" are pretty nice as well. Yet to be released but should def consider it soon.

Drizzy bagging up 2 Juno Trophies





Aside from winning trophies for new artist of the year and rap recording of the year (for his EP, "So Far Gone"), Drake also took the stage for a blistering - and blue - performance of his new single, "Over," for a backing role on 16-year-old Justin Bieber's tune, "Baby," and for K'naan's show-closing "Wavin' Flag."




"Please put away the cameras, we just in the club getting MC-hammered," Drake rapped. "God forbid I ever trade the wisdom for the glamour / I know I'm just a boy that a woman could make a man of/ So make me one, I know that she could make me one/ I just want a woman that looks 30 when she's 81/ Please don't give it all away, I hope that she could save me some/ Justin, why don't you tell them where your baby's from?"

Shots Shots Shots!




Well its been a little bit since I've blogged so what better way to do so than to cover what happened last night. Well being absent on here was due to a very stressful week with two tests yesterday but since that is over with it was time to go for a normal dinner with some friends and maybe one or two drinks with our meal. Guess again, Buffalo Wild Wings was the spot and when this group of friends get together lol madness usually follows, especially at BWW. Well a few drinks and wings turned into LMFAO's spring break anthem, Shots Shots Shots Shots Shots, EVERYBODY! K10 thought it would be a good idea to mention the thought of getting 1 round of shots, well 1 turned into 6, not to mention the 4 or 5 pints before that. Needless to say that led to a great night at BWW and a little adventure hike from there to Rosa's. A nameless friend is walking beside me and a few steps later is missing, I turn and look and a faceplant and a face looking at me saying Mike, the grass is wet, hahaha what a night, but that was the first of many falls for these two friends. Rosa's turned into about a 15 min laugh session and the hike back was just as interesting! Well finally ended up at FB downtown and that turned into a 5 min appearance. Epic night with great friends, just shows how good of a time it is when the old school angelo place neighbors are around. Well it is def frowned upon to be that out of control by 10 pm on a Thursday but oh well, only young once. Well I hope you all had a great night like I did and if not I hope yall have a great weekend because im sure I will. Double D is in town so that usually leads to some craziness as well.



Be safe and have fun.

Wedding/Weekend Recap

Well the day Julio had been waiting for finally happened. We had a great time getting ready for his wedding and we had a long journey up until that point. Something about being around all your closest friends and family is so refreshing and puts you at ease. Seems like nothing else mattered at that moment and the looks on everyones faces as we all shared that special evening. Had a great time at rehersals and a great meal afterwards thanks to Section Hand Steak House. We also had a great time in Abilene on Friday night as we added a few more memories to a wild ride that we've already attained. Saturday came along and man everyone was going crazy with picture after picture after picture and rushing to get ready and make sure everything looked right and went well but it was all worth it in the end. After the ceremony it was on to the reception and my turn to give my wedding toast. I practiced and practiced and still go so nervous and I'm sure it didn't sound as well as I had planned but it still moved the audience. For those who didnt get to hear it here is what it said...


It's an honor to be the best man for Julio today, because ever since I've known him he has been one of the best men and friends I could ask for. We grew up together and became more like brothers, Well I decided to do something a little different for everyone so here it is.

We started off as teens, thinking we knew it all
Had each others backs, and would both take the fall
Plenty of road trips along the way, but its just part of lifes journey
Drove our parents crazy, but not the type to make them worry
He met a girl named Kimberly, and I knew she was the one
6 1/2 years later, the real celebrations have begun
We grew up as a family, shared a lot of memories
I have always been a witness, now its time to let the world see
I wish you guys a great future, and in perfect health
Full of happiness, and showered with wealth
May it also contain tears of joy followed by tons of laughter
This is the end of one story, but the beginning of a new chapter!


Someone once told me "Dont ask a man whats important to him, but watch how he spends his time" I've watched Julio spend his time and I know what's important to him and that is Kimberly. With that being said I love the both of you and and lets toast to this special day.



After all that we had fun dancing and letting loose enjoying the night. After Julio and Kim enjoyed their evening I caught up with some other friends and had a few drinks and laughs with them. Sunday was very relaxing and headed back over to a friends house and watch a movie like every sunday when im home. All in all it was a great time at home and look forward to being around everyone again soon.

Drake Over Video




Drake finally dropped a video to go with his Over song. Like I said before it really grows on people after the first listen but he adds a video thats very different and gives a wide variety of visual effects go go along with it. The video takes place in a room where he is sitting on the edge of the bed and is thinking about these two completely opposite women. It's kind of like a bad dream but there is one girl who is more wholesome and one girl who is more seductive and slightly evil. The video shows struggles of going back and forth between the purities in his past life and what this new life with fame has to offer. He says with the ending of the album, you will be able to tell which side he picks.

Stress Less




Well I have been away for a few days but thats all do to school, work, and figuring out what it is I'm going to say for the wedding toast. Summer couldn't get here any faster but needless to say I am definitely ready for it. Hasn't been to long since spring break but I could for sure use another vaction get away. School seems never ending and just as soon as I think I get a break for the day it seems like I'm right here back at work and the day just continues. Makes the weeks go by faster but it seems like I never get any time for myself. Oh well, life of a college student right? I guess I'm not really in a hurry to get out of here, well I am and I say that now but from what all my graduated friends say, stay in! Being grown definitely has its ups and downs but I guess thats just life in general. What do I wanna do when I graduate? Where do I see myself? Where will I be? All questions that haunt me everyday but I know that I will get through it all and just have to stay positive and focused and good things will come my way. Where does the time go? Seems like yesterday I was with a group of my friends all living together and the time just flys by and now they are all on their own way and seems like I hardly hear from a lot of them. Well I am glad to see one of my best friends take the next step in his relationship and life in general and finally tie the knot. I do miss the house we used to have and when we all lived together but I'm glad he is doing well with his career and taking steps to become that big boss so he can slide me some money here and there haha! I guess I'm ready to figure out what I want to be, What it is that I'm best at, to be truely happy you have to do something that you're not just good at but something you're great at. I really hope this school pays off because I want to have my own business someday and something that works with people because I'm great with people. Definitely want to be some where in the ft worth/dallas area or maybe austin/san antonio area but we'll see how things play out and hopefully things go the way I want.




Just a big of randomness for the day, but stress less and enjoy yourself when you get a chance, and if you dont get a chance, make time lol.

This Weeks Sneeks




So I made a couple of pick ups this week to add to the collection. The Air Jordan Silver Anniversary 3, It's so hard to keep all white shoes but the design and the comfort of these shoes are very fitting. The elephant print around the toe and heel really set this off for me and they accented the shoe with the matching elephant print laces. Hard to tell from the pictures but on this shoe there is kind of a patent leather material around the shoe and it shines so well in the light. A must have for any sneakerhead and I decided I needed a new pair of all whites. Hard to keep clean but luckily I have so many pairs I wont have to wear them much and less likely to get as dirty.





The Air Jordan "Oreo" 6. I love the splatter paint on the bottoms and accents of the shoe and not only that but I'm a big fan of black and white shoes. In need of a pair of shoes in that color I decided to go with this shoe because the design is so retro but fresh at the same time. I'm not a big fan of the entire 23 series but there are a few that I really do like. The 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 11s, 12s are about the only ones I do like so I'm on my way to getting each of those. But again, these are just a couple of pick ups for the week, might be posting a video of my entire collection that I have with me, but will missing some from back home.

Happy Easter Weekend




Well its that time of the year and April has officially rolled around. Where did the past three months go? Well no looking back, only looking towards the future and man how I wish I could be at home like everyone else. Well thats the life of working in banking, sure you get holidays off on random days but not when it really counts. Off of school for Good Friday and still having to work. Oh well, my bank account will thank me later. But to all those who get to be home early, I hope yall have a blessed time with your loved ones and cherish the time you get to spend with them. Kind of feels like saturday at work, everyone thinks we are closed and I would have to say I would agree with them, I wouldn't mind not having to work today. Well looks like another slow day here at work followed by a slow morning tomorrow. Well again I would just like to say Happy Easter to everyone and I will get to enjoy my weekend tomorrow after noon when I'll be headed back home to be with the ones I love.




Have a Great Weekend, Happy Easter! Drive safe and Enjoy yourself!
