It's hard to save money, when you can look so fresh!

What'up America.
If you hadn't heard, it was another shopping day.
That means for the past 3 weeks, I have boughten at least 1 pair of shoes.
Today we went to Seattle for the Sonics ass whopping, but some good came out of it. I bought a pair of Nikes, my first set up Alifes and my first Alife shirt. It was a helluva Alife day.









And here are some of the other purchases within the past 3 weeks.
Not counting the first 2 shoes.

Brawling

Hey, hey, hey smoke weed everyday. It's ya boi, Snowflake here. Everyone gather around, ur boi is going to share a story. So last thursday night I'm at this Irish bar in dirty Durham. I'm with a pretty big crowd since it's one of the women's players birthdays. So the bar is fucking packed. I'm chilling in the back with a few people and people are smoking everywhere. My buddy Jon sees this one shady looking character smoking and is like "look at that hippy looking fucker." haha, right. It turns out this hippy fucker has boys all around the bar who are drunk as shit, and ready to throw down.



First, thing that happens is this one 6'2 white dude next to me turns to Jon and is like," You taking shit!?" Now, Jon is a big boy from NY. He's on the baseball team, prolly about 6'1'' 220, the guy could hurt somebody. But he's chill he's like,"I just made a comment, you know, relax." The other guy is like, "Because i'll fucking beat ur ass, yada, yada..." I step in, obviously the hot-headed authority figure and am like, "it's cool, we got it, we're not taking shit, it's cool." And the white guy goes, "because I fucking get in bar fights," then homeboy holds up his right arm and there is this huge cast on his wrist/forearm. lol

After the guy makes some condescending remarks about Duke students and how they may have book smarts but not street smarts he finally leaves. Phew, glad that's over. But like two fucking minutes later, some thick bald headed guy comes right up to us and is like, "ARE U TAKING SHIT?!" We hadnt been and it was obvious this dude just wanted to fight somebody. I think he would have fought a 14 year old at this point. At this point, it's me, Jon, and this other guy we know and we look behind the bald headed fucker and see like 7 dudes ready to back him up. Bald headed bitch keeps yapping, "Cause I'll fucking beat ur ass, yada yada" then he grabs the other guy we are with. The other guy gets free and Jon and him bounce outside. I stay cause I'm with other people but like I almost had to bust out the head lock and choke a bitch.




So I find this whole encounter interesting because I wonder what woulda happened if it were A-town getting confronted. Obviously, if it were A-town + Lew and they were going after Lew, then let me help u beat a jew. haha, just playing Lew just playing. But for real, A-town would not have gone outside after somebody grabbed us. I mean, we have Dex "take down 4 motherfuckers in my backyard" Grant on our side. And if Andrew and Hieu were there, as long as they werent fighting each other, we'd put up some blows. Story time over and protect ur goddamn neck.

Tournament Update..

Sl here so i went 7 for 8 on my picks, we are down to the elite 8..

My picks are

Game 1 Carolina over Louisville.. its going to be a close one i think tho

Game 2 Ucla will lose to Xavier..

Game 3 kansas over davidson

Game 4 Texas over Memphis..

March Madness Picks !

Yo peeps SL here just poppin in quick to give you some info and opinions on whos taking this years Ncaa Crown.

Game 1 No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 4 Washington State

Two very diffrent styles one team (unc) is a high powered offense that wants to push the ball on every oppurtunity while WSU has that defense that just frustates you. For Unc the key is Ty Lawson, one of the speediest in the game he has turned his game up from coming back off a injury. And btw al he had 19 pts and 7 ast against arkansas...check what al said in his post a week ago about lawson thank you very much.. Anyways we dont have to talk about WSU or any othe team because Carolina is stacked with depth and they are takin it this year.
Unc all the way

Game 2 tennessee vs Louisville

Louisville takes this one.

Game 3 Wisconsin vs Davidson
Stephen curry son of Del curry former Nba player can ball so im goin with Davidson.

Game 4 Kansas vs Villanova

Easy victory for Kansas

Game 5 Texas vs Stanford

Texas advances

Game 6 Memphis vs Michigan State

This is my other upset Michigan State takes down the Tigers.

Game 7 Xavier vs WVU

Xavier takes it.

Game 8 Ucla vs Wku

Ucla got an easy road they will win this one too bust will lose the next in my opinion.

Spring Broke

That's right folks.
Spring, Mutha Fuckin, Broke.
Not broke in the sense of cashless, because I just got paid,
But broke in the sense that I am bored out of my fuckin mind.
If it's not bad enough that I have to stay at WWU during my spring break,
I have to stay here with all my American friends who just left today!
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Pretty much game and drink.
But drinkin is a team sport, so I will be drinking for the first time with
the rest of the IPAs tonight.
So we will see how that goes.
There will also be some student involvement I'm sure.

Speaking of which, they do some boarderline gay shit.
I don't know if you've seen my 2nd post where it shows one
dude getting the shit humped out of him, but here's some more.
And as gay as it is, it's pretty funny.
Half of the time, they aren't drunk, but...confused...bored...I don't know.
Well, enjoy.

Top 10 Reasons We all hate Duke!!

Yo SL here and i did a little research on why theres such natural hatred for Duke and here is top 10 reasons why.. holla at me AL (oh ya last time I checked Unc was still in the tourney and if you want tune into the game 920 your time as they get ready to take down arkansas hey maybe you can even watch it with some of the duke players, it'll be good for them cuz they can watch and learn how basketball is really played)..

10. The name Blue Devils: Not because of the fact that it is anti-religious, but because they are named after a the French fighting batallion "les Diables Bleus", and no one likes the French. This actually proves my point that the hatred of Duke has nothing to do with their success, because the French Army always loses.

9. Coach Krzyzewski: For so many reasons. First of all he looks like a rat, and having to watch him pace the sidelines and whine, bitch, and moan while just thinking he's looking for cheese or picturing his head stuck in a mouse-trap. Also Look at his last name, now I don't see how his name is Chi-Chef-ski. His name is Kriz-iz-ooski, doesn't that make more sense.

8. Dick Vitale: Not Dick Vitale as a person, because, though he can be a little abrasive at times, he's good at his job. Except when he's doing Duke games, and he always seems like he's doing Duke games. It's one thing to have a gently hidden bias when doing commentary.

7. The Cameron Crazies: I am all about rooting for your team, I'm the guy who refuses to sit down, and althouh I'm not personally a fan of the jumping, I'm all for spirit. With that said the Cameron Crazies are ridiculous. As in this SI Article from a couple years ago "Taunts such as 'Safety school!' (toward Wake Forest) and 'We're smart! You're dumb!' (at UNC) that play off Duke's academic standards continue to anger not only opponents but also many among the 4,000-plus students who don't attend games.

6. Cameron Crazies Cheer Sheets: Even worse than just their holier than thou attitude are their obnoxious cheers. According to one cheer sheet, "DON’T hesitate to uphold the tradition of the Cameron Crazies. There’s a reason people all over this fine country hate us, and it’s because we’re clever, ruthless, and persistent fans. Let’s make that especially true this year. Yell loud and stay loud."

5. Calls: They get all the calls for whatever reason the refs are afraid to call anything against Duke. Yet they complain on how the duke killer a.ka Mr. Hansborough gets all the calls against them. They are known as Duke the elite program and the refs cant blow the whistle because its Duke.

4. Flops: To go along with the calls, and as I'm sure you all know the flops. I could post videos of their flops but I don't think blogger has the space available to host them all. Here's the most obvious of recent Greg Paulus flops but just search for Greg Pauaus on youtube or google, all you get is video and pictures of him flopping. It's nothing new, they've been doing it for years, and all I can picture is Coach K with a piece of cheese.

3. Media: Duke is shoved down our throats whether die-hard or casual observers of the game from October through April. There is a media bias the likes of which have never been seen before, for some reason everyone, with a microphone, loves Duke. It's not just Vitale.

2. The Cheap plays: Beyond just the dives and flops and no calls, Duke is cheap, always have been. Skip forward to about 26 second of this clip for the best angle. That was during the '06-'07 season. Yeah, he was definately going after the ball. The year before that clip, in the '05-'06 we saw this happen at right. Wow, it appears that North Carolina's top player has some trouble avoiding Duke players swinging at his head. It wouldn't be, say because Coach K tells them to try to injure the other team's top player. A man of his caliber would never try to instill values like that. Wait, it's the same guy who teaches flops and berates refs until calls go his way right?

1. The Number One Reason: Former Duke player, current NBA Star Elton Brand said it best "Thank you very much, for reminding me of the reason why I left Duke. Peolple like you cannot and willnot (sic) ever understand my situation. I'm sure daddy worked very hard to send your rich self to college. While real people struggle. I would also like to extend an invitation for you not to waste your or my time ever again. Never being considered a part of your posh group of yuppies really hurts me to the heart. Yea Right because I don't care about you or your alumni."

Go get em Elton

March Madness

What's good, it's ur boi Snowflake. I'm here to talk a little basketball with you (Watch out for your job Seth Davis.) Anyways, being the son of Papa Hope, I had to learn how to talk sports from the crib. I mean the guy is a fucking sportsnews feed, luv ya dad. Sweet Lips will verify this but we were at Kidd Valley and mom was talking about how sports crazed my dad was. She was like, "and this one week, after working all week, he went to the Huskie football game on Saturday and then Seahawk game on Sunday. C'mon John." My dad was completely unphased by this. He replies in a manner like how-could-I-not-go, "It was USC (or some good team) and the Rams were in town, a division rival." Straight Baller.

My dad even got my mom to play in a basketball league with him last spring. My parents are old farts so they don't have a league for people as old as them. They were out there with people in their late 20s and early 30s. I went and watched them play a game. My mom was a disgrace to the Hope name. haha. But seriously Mom ran down the court like Pee Wee Herman. This was in May and I was like there is no way ur scoring a bucket this year. But by the end of the season she had a total of eight points. That's more than Ty Lawson is going to have in his next game. Yeah, fuck you UNC and Haik. haha.


So back to the tourney. My Dukies got knocked out because they couldnt beat a bunch of Hillbillies that fuck their cousins. My bracket went to absolute shit yesterday too. I had Clemson going to the elite eight. Thank god UCLA won because I have them winning the championship. Overall, I was impressed by Washington St. I think they have a chance to go far because they play tough defense and are consistent with it. Nick Collison is a fucking baller so I still think UCLA will go far. Stanford is a bunch of bitches and I had Marquette winning. Don't expect them to get past their next opponent.

One Love,
Snow

The Predicament

Yo!
Live and direct with a Japanese final just 2 hours away. A Japanese final that I am severely understudied for, but lets not start the "hate, hate, hate, hate, hate" chant, but encourage the effort (as small as it might have been) to study for this bitch.

Anyways, if you have been keeping up with the comment game, I have kindly gotten one from my boy SL on the last one. And here's the issue. Manami and I are finished, with no intentions of getting back together. Even if she through that on a silver platter, I would do my best to say no (and as long as I focused on the cons of the relationship) I would be able to follow through. Well anyways there's a new prospect if you haven't heard. It's kind of weird, because she was an AUAP student from the previous cycle, BUT, she wasn't in my group. In fact, she was all the way on the other side of campus, and we both started to catch feelings when we were still dating our respective significant others.

It could be a combination of both being in less than ideal relationships, or the stars were aligned a certain way, but we always seemed to have fun in each others presences, with a certain vibe in the air surrounding us. Anyways, we both like each other, but if we were to start dating, how does that make the ol' boy look. Am I doing this job, just to date students? Obviously not, because I had plenty of students, of the female species, roll up in my room at night, just them, on their pajamas, but I was a perfect gentleman and hit the books while they chilled on my bed. It has already been happening this quarter, but usually they roll up like twins, with one in my bed and the other in my roommates. Holla.

Anyways, when I go to Japan, and if we are a couple. I don't want it to be awkward with the rest of the students, or let this be the topic of discussion. Imagine that I go to Japan to hang out with a group of students, and she is there, and we are a couple. Might seem a bit awkward for one or two students I'm thinking. Unless we manage to not be a couple in any way, which I hope can hold through. But we shall see.

Any feedback on the situation would be greatly appreciated. Good looking.

The Last Stand

YO, it's your boy coming live and direct from...his room.
I know, I know, if your a lady, it's a place you dream of coming to, but to be honest, this bitch is messy right now. In fact let, me take some pics.





I know what your thinking America, that last picture ain't looking so bad, and if I had a view like that out my window, shit, I could keep my place that dirty. But the truth is, the first one was from the 2 night, $700 hotel with Manami, and the last picture is a pretty small section of the room.

Speaking of Manami, I'm done with that. I used to give her a message a day for kindness purporses, despite never getting a response back. Why you ask, because I told her I would. But than I find out yesterday that she responded talked to Anthony yesterday, and I was like ....ok....So you got time to talk to him on messenger, but you ain't got time to respond on a text. So now your boy is contemplating on how to answer this issue. I can't simply end this phone messaging service without sending her one last goodbye, that's just not kind.

"Yo!

Sorry I haven't had a chance to email you the past week or two. To be honest, I don't think you have had time to read them because you have been so busy, or you have just been deleting them, because you don't want to read them. I heard that you talked to Anthony a few days ago, so I think that I am being a distraction in your life right now, so when you have free time, and you feel like talking to me again, you can send me an email. If I don't ever talk to you again, thank you for everything, and continue to do your best! Please know that I will continue to always support you, and be here to help you if you ever need me!

Dex"

I just whipped that up on the right quick America. I know, your boy gots skills. Maybe I said too much, or not enough, but the balls in her court, and I'm Dwight Howard. So she better bring her A game.




*UPDATE*

So I get an email yesterday at 2:20AM. From, guess who, yeah, you already know. You should already remember what I wrote to her, so this is her response:

"thank you for your email.im reading those everyday.have a good night!"

Now how hard was it to say that? Too little, too late baby girl. Your boy be feelin someone else already, and I'm even questioning the extent of this friendship. Anyways, I have yet to respond to this message, and I am playing a little JaMarcus Russel right now, and holdin' out.



Feel me?

Holla,

Why I Love A-town (No Homo)

Wdup y'all. Ur boi Snowflake is back on and going to speak from the heart for a bit. Most of my posts will be on the lighter side but I'm a deep kid so I want to show that to you. I miss my bois all the time, but especially tonight when I went through some shit and needed'em here.

Dex and Haik are a part of my family. One day, they will be uncle Haik and uncle Dex (sorry Dex, it won't be daddy Dex) to my kids. One day, little Champ Grant will prolly beat the shit out of my kid, haha, and Dex will be over there cracking up, haha. But for real, I know this because I couldn't live my life day in and day out without my bois. While we are scattered all over the country, they're always with me. There are the ones that know me. I can tell them anything. I can call them at 3am in the middle of the summer and I know they always got my back. I'm one who doesn't trust hardly anyone, but I trust them.

The crazy shit is that whether we think it or not, we all change. Whether it be a little or a lot. I know I've changed and I think they have changed some too. But deep down inside we all still know who each other is. We can not see each other for months, then kill some motherfuckers in ball and get some food like we do it everyday. And my bois keep it real. They dont change around certain people like some of you other shady motherfuckers. They'll tell you shit that you don't want to hear because they know it will make you tougher and stronger.

I've met a lot of people and found a real good friend at school but my bois are different. I hope that I mean as much to them as they do to me. I hope they get everything they want in life. I really do. And motherfuckers, I can't wait until the next time I ball Haik's ass up at Hellen Keller. Or I beat Dex's ass in Winning Eleven, or we fucking slap the shit out of Andrew, or catch that crab with Hieu while Dex beats those crabs with a Louisville Slugger. Love you guys.

One love,

Snow

At the baaar with the Tank!

Good Afternoon peoples, Sweet Lips here. So this weekend I made a trip out to the beach with the jew face killa (he was in town shoppin his cd around). We visited Huntington beach it was pretty nice 75 Sunny, we decide to walk into a bar and sitting right there is Tank Abott. Personally I wasnt a huge fan but hes been known to be a gret street fighter.

So i sit right next to him, the dude has a laptop out and he is drunk up the ass. He has like 5 to 7 drinks scattered around his laptop. By the way he was a dumb motherfucker cuz he couldnt type with 2 hands he was punching in the letters with his right index finger. So their is also a nice girl serving the drinks behind the bar and I dont think she knew who he was but I guess he thought hes a big star cuz he reaches over and says "hey babe are you on the menu".... This woman was disgusted cuz this is a ugly motherfucker seriously..

So she leaves and i enter the convo I lie to him and say im a big fan (fuck that its all about fedor)..I tell him "Rough fight last time huh?" and he starts talkin to me about his whole training routine and how he is losing fights because of his age and he starts tellin me how he could of beat kimbo slice at which point i decided not to talk to this ugly thing because he obviously doesnt remember the fight he had with kimbo..you be the judge peoples could he have won this fight???i mean really???

Finals and Shit

Yo!
What's really good America?
Shit has been a bit hectic on my end.
Just finished up a Marketing Final that I was severely unprepared for.
I was fucked in the butt like these 2 kids, no homo.

Sorry this video is taking so long to download. Looks like you have 2 options to step up your internet game. Either A, visit this cracktacklin site: http://web.mac.com/dex_grant/Site/Home.html or holla at this man:



Holla!

I'm happy to see that my boys have posted up on here, and hopefully we can keep this at least a weekly thing. I'm thinking of throwin down weekly deadline of every Sunday by 9pm P.S.T. (note the time zone America, that's 12:00am E.S.T. for all you east coast cats. I'm giving you an extra day, so don't be late) And don't be the type of motherfucker who procrastinates this shit, this ain't school or work where you put that assignment or project off until the day before it's due. This is a release from that, so release on here, before I release in you face. (no homo)

Aight, now onto the main events at hand. As you know America, one of my jobs here at Western Washington University is to be like a vet and make that pussy smile,

and another is to be an International Peer Advisor for Japanese students staying in America for the next 5 months. What my boss stresses for me to do as an IPA is to help these Japanese students meet American friends. Cool, I got that, no problem. But when some motherfuckers try to run up on my students, I'm not tryin to have that. There's 2 individuals in particular who I might have to go Rampage Jackson on. Yes, it's B&WD, or black and white dude. (This was much shorter than BD&HWFWTHB, which obviously stands for Black Dude & His White Friend Who Thinks Hes Black)

Well anyways, I ain't one to snitch, unless it's for an imperative reason (on the cops, someone jacked your brownie, Al and Haik be cheatin on Winning Eleven. You known, crimes against humanity) but I had to blow the whistles on these dudes. So last Thursday we had our Campus Friends gathering. And for those of you who don't know, that's when one of the AUAP students (the Japanese foreign exchange students) gets paired up with an WWU American student, with the hopes that they will hang out from time to time. Everything is going fine and dandy, and than my boss decides to leave. That's when the white dude thinks it will be ok to start picking up one of the female students and throwing her over his shoulder, oh ya, and this is after he told her "I will teach you how to fight (and he was referring to boxing)" I don't know if its in the White Boys who think They are Black Boxing Handbook, but in the normal people Boxing Handbook, you damn sure can't do that. And dude was so aggressive when he was "boxing/wrestling" with her, that she had marks on her arms and legs. I mean....wow

So now I get to holla at my boss and see if we can do something about this issue. Oh yeah, he got hired as an IPA (my job) next year, so that makes it even worst. I don't know if its too late to cut this guy, because we have already hired the IPAs for next year, but I can cross my fingers. There's more incidents that involve this guy and the other guy, but I'll save that for skype. I'm out.

Why Andrew is Bitch

It's ur boi Snowflake. I'm going to skip the intro for now and get straight to business. Andrew is a bitch, plain and simple. haha. I mean look at this goofy kid:

You know that he does not stand up to pee. Andrew was fine and all up until a year ago when he decided to take on a-town. Bad move. He starts saying a-town sucks this...a-town is...blah blah blah. So what does a-town do. We pull at the air pistols and make him get on his knees to apologize. Of course he does but his antics have not stopped.

In a recent trip to the war room, Andrew was up to the same shit. So we slapped him around and made fun of him as usual. I know what you are all thinking, he is the new lew and your right except he hasn't gone after anyone's ex-girlfriend yet. Mozultoff. Anyways, on the way back from the war room, I actually felt bad. Andrew was talking shit so Haik put him in the head lock and he started to bleed. I didn't feel bad for Andrew, no no, I felt bad for Haik and that fresh jacket that had blood on it. What a shame.

Overall though, and I may be speaking for myself on this one, Andrew is a bitch but we still love the kid. Even though he walks away randomly and is a habitual line stepper, he will always be the groupie of a-town.

One love,
Snowflake
