What started out as a blog focusing on my business of personal sales in design toys/ urban vinyl turned into a blog about videos, toys, clothing, art and the politics that make my life in Newark/Irvington New Jersey.

A. Tiziano
I just picked up a wool jacket by A. Tiziano. I don't know a thing about the label but the jacket was a good buy so I had to pick it up. There's really not too much online about them so it's hard for me to hand ya'll any info. But I did find a website you can check out here (but of course it's under construction), 1 youtube clip & a myspace page. If anyone knows anything about this label let me know. I want to know about the people I give money to... SEEN!

Buy the slaves? And how would the government pay for them?

Why is McDonald's treating the McGrittle like a stepkid?
I was looking for a pic of the McGrittle because I was going to tell ya'll how great of a creation it is but there is no picture on the Internet (or even on the McDonald's website) of this beautiful sandwich... is it a sandwich? Anyway, I couldn't even find it on the McDonalds website but I have an idea why. On the website they break all the food down by calories and the nutritional value, you know stuff like that, and we all know the McGrittle is one of the worst things you can eat on this planet...lol. O Well, if worst comes to worst, I'll be chiilin with the hot chicks in the picture with a tasty McGrittle in my back pocket...lol.
