THE BEST POUND FOR POUND...IS FILIPINO MUTHAF*^KA!

Last Saturday in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao effortlessly grabbed the Lightweight title from a thrashed David Diaz in a 9th round KO. "Pac-Man" as Pacquiao is known by dominatiated the squared circle, becoming the first Asian fighter to become champ in 4 different weight classes.
As I watched packed in my momma's house with my cousins all riled up and influenced by a little of the "sauce," catch phrases from the flick, The Goonies sprang up, referencing David Diaz face. "Heyyy you Guys!" and "Rocky Road" became the cat cries of my cousins and I as we clapped voraciously. We acted like we were in Vegas live. When you rep a country that gets as much sports press as a mechanical bunny in a dog race, small beams of light such as Pacquiao become amplified. Dramatic prose aside, he in fact does represent a whole nation and people every time he puts his custom Nike boxing boots on the canvas.
So yes I will gloat like a teen bitch when receiving her first Louis Vuitton tote bag.
All those who rep the P.I. - stand the fuck up.

2008 NBA DRAFT INSPIRED TEES BY ADIDAS/UNDRCRWN

Undrcrwn is infamous for flipping the classic "Dream Team/NBA Champs" style of caricatures in their design. This time around they feature the new breed of players to enter the league such as #1 Draft pick Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls.
Danilo Gallinari was picked by the New York Knicks at #6. He's apparently a better,fine tuned Manu Ginobli. I hope so cause with the fans boo's last night at the Wamu Theater, that was not a popular decision.
Anyway to check more flicks go to The 'Beast.

DON'T MESS WITH THE MANUEL: METS EDITION
AS QUOTED FROM METS BLOG:
Jerry Manuel, with a smile, speaking to reporters prior to Wednesday’s game, regarding what he told Jose Reyes in the locker room on Tuesday after the shortstop stormed off the field and tossed his helmet in disgust of being pulled from the game with a possible injury:
“I told him the next time he does that, I’m going to get my blade out and cut him, right on the field. Hey, I’m a gangsta now. You go gangsta on me, I’m gonna have to get you now.”
After this quote surfaced,Metsblog affiliate Hotfoot put this out: 
IF THIS LIGHTS A FIRE UNDER THE METS AND THEY PRODUCE, I'M ALL FOR IT. BUT JERRY MANUEL HAS TO LET THESE KIDS KNOW HES THE MAN NOW...

STUDENTS PLANT LAXATIVES ON CAKE FOR TEACHERS

FROM THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS:
Teachers were thrilled when students at a Brooklyn high school sweetly offered them slices of homemade cake last week.But the innocent-looking treat contained a nasty surprise - it was laced with laxatives that sent two educators to the hospital and sickened three other staffers.
I'm surprised that laxatives would send people to the hospital but in theory we all know laxatives in a cake is funny.

CLASSLESS EXIT FOR WILLIE RANDOLPH

It didn't have to go down this way. Why wait in the middle of the night after a win and away on the West Coast to fire Mets skipper Willie Randolph? Although getting heat from the New York media, this shows that the Mets organization succumbed to the heckling.
You can't say Randolph was innocent- of course as manager he will be on the chopping block especially with the lackluster effort the Mets have been going through. But there should be more class when firing a man who helped bring the Mets to the National League Championship in 2006 as well as their first National League East title of the millennium.
As a fan, I'm disgusted. But the game must be played. Bench coach and former Manager of The Year for the White Sox, Jerry Manuel will take over as interim skipper. At the end of the day I'm still riding with my team and hopefully things will work out for the best - GO METS.

STAPLE DESIGN/LOMO PHOTOGRAPHY
![]()
TAKEN FROM STAPLE DESIGN:
We started working with Lomography (aka LOMO), about one year ago now, putting the finishing touches on this project. The set includes an incredible camera called The Colorsplash as well as a massive hardcover photo book with over 1000 images. We asked the entire Lomographic Community at large to submit photos and our team went through the painstaking process of photo editing, art directing and laying the book out.
With Lomographers all across the world aiming their lenses and firing a colored flash burst at any and every given opportunity, you can truly call this a bona-fide positive social contagion—the ultimate global collaboration. But this begs an important question: where does the motivation and inspiration for all of this hyperactivity stem from? We gave our photographers a mission statement. The concept was to follow the guidelines of the Chakras. (Chakras are commonly described, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point of metaphysical and biophysical energy of the human body.)
Chakras are represented by color (and each color happens to correspond to a color flash filter on the Lomo Colorsplash Camera ; )
• Purple Colorsplash Chakra: Peace, tranquility, and closeness
• Blue Colorsplash Chakra: Music, nightlife, parties, and gatherings
• Green Colorsplash Chakra: Nature, Life, and Animals
• Yellow Colorsplash Chakra: Activities, diversions, and sports
• Orange Colorsplash Chakra: Consumption, eating, buying, and collecting
• Red Colorsplash Images: Sex, Passion, Love, and Strength
• Multicolor Colorsplash Images: Don't Care About any Rules
Hundreds of Lomographers teamed up with an elite squad of eleven Commissioned Chakra photographers to produce several thousand images. All-Star Photographers include:
Adam Scott
Atsuko Tanaka
Boogie
Brian Milo
Kareem Black
Kreg Holt
Maureen Hufnagel
Michael Wong
Nick Rhodes
Wei-I Lee
Yasumasa Yonehara
On June 19th, The Lomographic Society and Staple Design will be beaming with pride over the release of the limited Chakra Edition Colorsplash Camera and "Colorsplash Chakras" hardcover book. The two come package together in one dope box set.
Please join us to celebrate the grand launch of the Staple Design & Lomography Colorsplash Chakra package! We're staging a collaborative event and exhibition at Reed Space. Thousands of colorsplash shots from the book – streaming in from all over the world - will decorate the walls.. Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP early.
Opening Reception:
Thursday June 19th, 2008
7pm–10pm
RSVP: lomo@stapledesign.com
Space is limited.

"OVERDOSE ON LIFE" OMEN FEATURING DRAKE,MICKEY FACTZ AND TRAVIS MCCOY OF GYM CLASS HEROES

You may have never heard of Omen but you’ve definitely heard his work.
The Harlem-bred producer has worked with artists such as Jae Millz, Fabalous, Mya and Keith Murray. Dude even scored an award for working on the Ludacris track “Tell It Like It Is” off of the Grammy award winning album Release Therapy. With all these accolades Omen hasn’t had his time to shine but that may soon change.
He’s working on a project for fall ‘08. Here’s the first joint “Overdose On Life” featuring Canadian rapper Drake, Mickey Factz and Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Just like the title of his upcoming album released this fall, it’s up to you to Be The Judge.

So Obama won. For those supporting Obama, the shit is far from over. It's like saying you beat Mr. Sandman and haven't beaten Tyson yet. A Boxing reference albeit a video game reference is still about the battle at hand.
