The Loyalty Clock

Everyone really wants to claim the title of a “real” person. The title of being called, Real, seems to provide validity over so many lives. At what point does the Real concept becomes a question of stupidity? It’s many people in our society, no matter the race, put their lives in jeopardy for the sake of others just gain the the title of “Real”. What is the validity of loyalty measured against? Fake? Situational loyalty? What is the breaking point to which you have to decide to be a loyal person or loyal to yourself? The struggle of being a sacrificial lamb versus the one sacrificing the lamb has a ball of confusion on classifying a person. Thoughts?

Dominic Edozie Adagbonyin better known as D.O.L.O. doesn’t take the meaning of his name lightly. Die Once Live Once, is a name that was given to him by his brother when he was just a youngin.

What A Time To Be Alive

Drake & Future tape, “What A Time To Be Alive”, has the Hip Hop scene Boomin’. Some people feel like it could have been better. Others feel that this project is mirroring Jay and Kanye’s “Watch The Throne” or Birdman and Wayne’s “Like Father Like Son” album. Personally, it seems like in order to make quality music for the fans, you have to collaborate with other artists just to make a classic tape. Each artist can stand on their own without question but does that cause a debate on who is the better artist when they collab? It is similar to the NBA with all these outrageous trades. Prime example, Lebron left for Miami and got two rings with D. Wade and Chris Bosh. He then went back to Cleveland and put up numbers but then lost overall. Can Future or Drake get to the top with and without each other? Both are hot, but numbers don’t lie.

August Favorites That Can Be Used All Year

2015 MTV Video Music Awards

There were many losers and winners at this years VMAS as there is every year because many artists are nominated for each category but there can only be one winner. This also goes for the fashions that graced the red carpet this year…..many losers. Is this a circus or an award show? I could not tell the difference. I will just say that I have seen circuses more elegant and stylish than Sunday nights award show.

We will start with the losers, the many losers 🙁

For starters, The BIGGEST loser, Miley Cyrus. As if her hosting the award show wasn’t enough torture. I cringed at every single outfit change. It is understandable that she desires to differentiate Hannah Montana from her true self, but the craziness overshadows the real beauty and talent Miley possesses.

More Fashion Losers

I do not consider anyone a winner this year, but if I had to pick it would be Britney Spears. This may be a sympathy vote because I grew up a huge Britney fan and I am glad to see her healthy and happy. Her physique is looking great, giving the old Britney a run for her money.

More fashion “Winners”
