happiness

Everyone can honestly say they are in the pursuit of happiness in their life or have been at one point in their life. heres the second version of kid cudi's - pursuit of happiness song.

I honestly like this version of the video a bit better then the party scene one .. the production was great ..

=> also check out an interview with world renowned photographer "boogie". his photo essay's are truly inspirational. You can also see his work here.

TGIF.

hm just got off work .. first day on the visual shift sorta .. had a regular floor shift from 430-1030 then 1030-130 working visuals .. it was actually pretty fun .. i like it a lot better then being there and working with customers .. it was actually hard work .. moving manikins and then dressing them .. putting them back in the window then styling them .. i had fun .. i found out im going to be doing mens manikins and styling those .. dope .. haha should be fun .. todays shift was really fun .. i really enjoyed it ..

=> got a fresh cut today from my boy nate .. my hairs getting super long .. im just tapering it and lining that shit up.. but i likes it .. soo yaaay .. peace!

The Hustlas Pray

another peaceful day for mr.phillips. woke up chilled like usual .. then went to lunch at somavor with diana for some tea and turkey sandwiches which was really good .. and also got to catch up on things with her ... also went to work and talked to my visual manager and my new shift is going to be monwedfri 6-10am and then rest of the day off! dope! haha

=> i went under the needle for the first time today .. i really like my new piece .. actually means a lot to me and i don't regret or shall i ever regret that i got it .. ill have a photo of it later .. as for what it says .. its here .. :

"if the game shakes me or breaks me i hope it makes me a better man, take a better stand, put money in my mom's hand get my daughter this college plan so she don't need no man stay far from timid only make moves when your hearts in it and live the phrase sky's the limit"

and i honestly love it ..

reason i got it .. like i just broke down different parts to pertain to my life .. so "if the game shakes me or breaks me i hope it makes me a better man take a better stand put money in my moms hand get my daughter this college plan" basically for me is saying whatever i happen to do in life i hope to learn and better myself, become successful and just do me and be able to take care of my mom and family .. also when i do get older .. not be stupid rich but to be comfortable enough to raise a family .. then the part "stay far from timid only make moves when your hearts in it and live the phrase sky's the limit" .. so again whatever i do in life go in it full force .. no fear just do what i have to do .. and of course whatever i happen to do make sure i truly want to do that and most definitely make sure my hearts it and of course .. i mean sounds cliche but live the phrase sky's the limit .. because it honestly is for everyone .. put your heart into something and it can be done .. all it takes is time ..

peace ..
