bicoastal affects.

disclaimer: i rarely post about my personal life due to career reasons but i felt that this post was more than needed. so read and comment if you please.

breakdown:i am originally from Los Angeles, CA but attend school in NYC.

story: i dont ever claim to be the most popular person due to horrible habits of losing contact with people from both cities but i definitely do have a large number of acquaintances. the word acquaintances is better to use as opposed to friend because i will admit to rarely acknowledging people. i have situated myself into a dream chaser mode which takes over my world. i have made my social life basically all about networking to get myself to a higher level on my career map. acquaintances have been put to the side because honestly most of them can truly inspire or motivate me to accomplish my goals. i dont dislike anyone but i find my career chasing overpowering my life. my list of priorities have always been god first then family then school/career then friends so when people get upset you must realize where you stand in terms of importance. my true friends have grown to realize that i have matured and am now in a success hungry mode. they understand and support while those acquaintances of mine have done nothing but doubted and hit me up when its about "turning [bleep] up". dont get me wrong i do have a social/party life but its not as important to me as it once was.
so today i sign on facebook first, no notifications. i am honestly not shocked, i actually assumed that that would happen. then i sign on to myspace, i notice that people i once called "friends" have deleted me as an online friend. people act brand new on me but its quite okay. so i change my number and you get mad or i dont pick up and you get mad shows your immature ways. so instead of getting mad i offer you an explanation; here it is.

i dont expect people to run back to me. my social life isnt about pleasing each of these hypebeast in these streets.
i hate using cliches but im truly on my grown woman [bleep]

get with my movement or not, its on you. i will continue to do me and watch me blow up.

confession:i will admit that me being bicoastal has had an affect on me staying in contact with people.

tyga pt2

i rep my city to the fullest and i have so much love for talented people who are serious about their work...and for that reason, tyga deserves a second post.

i was on the phone with tyga may.5th/6th and he is a TRUE artist.

his outlook on his music career is the epitome of optimism. tyga never claimed to be the best artist but he realizes the potential that he has and brings positive energy to the LA music scene. his career is something that fans and the doubters are not ready to witness.
his track "cali love" is not his official single but it breaks down the walls and negative stereotypes placed on LA rappers. despite his numerous ustream videos, tyga is holding out on a huge suprise, singles from his latest project. fans hold on and be patient with this element of suprise.


people grab your shades, tygas light is brighter than ever.

love.

this is love



that is a tattoo in my lip.

i am a tattoo fein. i love ink, crave it adore it. so enjoy these shots of my latest work.
