The Light Bulb...For @justvonecia

The Light Bulb. Edison is quoted as saying it would take a matter of a few weeks to invent the bulb. In reality, it would take him almost two years of failed attempts, new discoveries and prototypes before he would find success. It is said he tried over 6,000 different carbonized plant fibers, looking for a carbon filament for his light bulb. By concentrating and inventing a whole lighting system rather than just a single light bulb, Edison succeeded where others had failed. Edison chose to look at the big picture and created a lighting system including wiring, plugs, connectors, etc., to operate more than one light bulb at once. Fighting other inventors in courts from England to America, Edison struggled for years to claim his rightful title of inventor of the light bulb, possibly his most popular invention.

Nike Auto Force 180 “New York Knicks”

Nike Auto Force 180 “New York Knicks”



Nike’s sneaker designers have been busy experimenting in the lab, and now one of their new creations is up for grabs. This particular silhouette is the Air Force 180 with a vulcanized sole, and they carry the name “Auto Force 180″. This is what happens when you automatically force the Air Force 180 together with a vulcanized sole. As you can see, this colorway obviously represents the New York Knicks. NYC is seen on the heel, and the royal blue and orange colorway screams NY Knicks. The New York Knicks Auto Force 180 is now available at select Nike retailers.

Look, I guess these are out?!?!?

Support Good Music Movement

My name is Brian... And I am a music thief. Like many of you all, I have stolen/downloaded several thousand albums and songs alike for my own personal enjoyment. I am a very big music fan..Listening to artists and groups Pantera to Plies and The Beatles toFrank Sinatra. Lately in hiphop most consumers-(most of whom can't really be called that due to the fact being a consumer usually means YOU BOUGHT SOMETHING!!) have been complaining of watered down, lollipop lyrics and just a overall degraded state and view of the music that we all fell in love with!! I have also to an extent because not that I don't respect Souljah Boy and Gucci Mane and OJ the Juiceman for their hustle but (do I even have to finish) that's not hiphop...I call it ringtone/bling-bling/Rented Bentley driving/Champagne poppin'/club-era pop music...because like lots of pop era music...THERE'S NO SUBSTANCE...(No fire, No ENERGY, No NOTHING {in my Chris Tucker Voice}).Could this turned tide in hip-hop be our fault?? Maybe not... but after hearing alot of veteran's in the industry talk about "Mainstream labels not having money to give to Artists" and seeing the feast or famine numbers on the Billboard charts due to DOWNLOADING and LACK of MARKETING (probably from lack of Marketing dollars)...if it wasn't for Twitter, I'd never of known about OB4CL2 (Raekwon's latest album) since I rarely watch Bet/Mtv video's (sidebar-Besides TRL & 106 & Park do these channels even show video's anymore?) . So I have decided to NOT COMPLAIN...support good music and I think you should also!!
