FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4

One of the most controversial questions of all time! Ali or Tyson? Personally I feel Ali will smash Tyson. [[sidebar]] I'm REALLY nice at this game!

SKATEBOARD C IS BORN

Well, as you can see from the post below I was pretty bummed about not being able to get the 11/12 Countdown Package. So, in my state of depression I treated myself to a skateboard! Lol...I don't know why but, I feel like the dude at the skate shop was hating on me cause I wasn't a "real skateboarder" or somethin? So, does this mean I'm a POSER? Man, I don't know but, I think to myself like...Um? Skateboarding? Y-not? Man, I do whatever makes me happy so dude can eat my shorts!

I'M NOT LOVIN' YOU, LIKE I WANTED TO...

The date December 2oth 2008 officially marks the worst day of my life!!! I was unable to purchase my beloved 11/12 Countdown Package on this date. The second pic is the line at the mall at 6:30 am! It was pissin' me off so much seeing all these bummy dudes in front of me!

I'M ceddY AND I ROCK GIRL SNEAKERS

...and I'm not the only one. Some really dope colorways are released in womens sizes and it's only natural that they appeal to men as well. Personally I feel there is no such thing as a women's sneaker, unless it has flowers on it. I own a pair of Womens Jordan Retro 8s and they're one of my favorite pairs. By the way the are Nike Womens Air Digs.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

I was sooo close! The 2 most bootlegged Jordans of all-time are now authentic again...lol. And December 20th they're all mine!!! And no, I'm not crazy...I JUST LOVE SNEAKERS.

GOLD BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUBS BACKPACK

I'm so wit it!!! Ignore "Chrihanna" or whatever they call them...I'm focused on that all gold backpack by BBC set for release in a couple months. It reminds me of somethin' Richy Rich would have...it's probably gonna cost a grip though!!!

CORRECTION: I WILL NO LONGER BE PERFORMING "YOU LOSE" ON DECEMBER 20TH DUE TO THE REVISED DATE BEING SET AS TBA...I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.

MY LIFE IS OVER!!!

If yall can recall I did a post couple weeks ago about these amazing pieces of footwear and in that post I stated that the release date was set for the day after Christmas, December 26th. But, since then the date has been pushed up to December 20th, which completely ruins my life! I had plans to use Christmas money to purchase this pack now...I have to rob a bank or somethin'...

STEVIE WONDER ON THE TALK BOX

I posted this just because unlike a lot of other people I love this sound...

L.A. GEAR IS BACK!!!

"Oh snap!"...is what I literally said when I saw these...The retailer, Sportie LA teams up with L.A. Gear to bring back this 90s craze. These are dope! I gotta stop buying retros, though. It ain't my fault though the shoe designers of our time have been taking a break...don't worry Y-not? Sneakers comin soon...well maybe not soon but, they're comin!

MY NEW FAVORITE SONG (besides "You Lose")

Lol...ever since 808s & Heartbreak came out my favorite song on the album has changed every other day. Now after seeing this "Amazing" is not only my favorite it's the SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE!!!

FERRARI MURAKAMI SKATING IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

"The reason I get fly as Ibn Jasper..." - Lupe Fiasco. Stylist, Ferrari Murakami aka Ibn Jasper skates and edits his own skate videos. I really wanna learn how to skate but, I think falling is so uncool!!! Lol...so, one day I'll have to find a dark and lonely vacant skate park so I can learn.

STAR TRAK CANDLES

Pharrell collaborates with Atelier WM Candle Collection to assist in creating a series of candles that feature popular hand gestures. Personally, I don't know if I'd want to have a hand in my living room with its finger tips on fire. It reminds me of the hand on the "Adam's Family" and that thing always freaked me out.

I HATE PRANKS!!! WHAT ARE THEY FOR??? I'M NEVER GONNA WATCH "PUNK'D" EVER AGAIN!!! ASHTON KUTCHER CAN EAT MY SHORTS!!!

I KNOW I POST A LOT OF KanYe...SO WHAT...EAT SH*T, DIE!

LOL! This is my new anthem for when I'm pissed off. Somebody threw somethin at kanYe while he was onstage and this was the outcome. Let somebody disrespect me...man, I if I could surgically implant a vocorder in my throat I would! Ha!

WATER IS A RESOURCE, NOT A RIGHT.

I've been walking pass this water fountain, on my way to class, for a week wondering why the water was no longer in it. At the end of the week this visual environmental statement had taken its place. I think its pretty dope, you can't walk pass this without stoping and thinking "Do I take water for granted?" Its cool how many different aspects of life art can affect.

"McNUGGETS LOVIN" BY: McDONALDS

Man, when I watch commercials like this, especially late at night, I be rollin' forreal! I be annoying everybody wit this song...lol. "Girl you gotta 10 piece now don't be STINGAAAEEE" Ha!

FLY INDIVIDUAL: ME! CEDRIC OKOGBODU

Lol...Hold on! I know what this looks like! Like I just built a shrine to myself on my blog. Lol...that's not it! This is going to be a reoccurring post titled, FLY INDIVIDUAL, where I will post pics and give a 'lil info. on those who I feel are FLY INDIVIDUALS. I've told a few people I was going to feature myself as the first FLY INDIVIDUAL and they all asked me, "Why would you feature yourself on your own blog?" And I reply because I WANT TO! Y-NOT?

Yall know me, The ceddY, publisher of this blog and aspiring CREATOR. Not fashion designer but, creator. I want to create things the world has never seen or thought of. This stuff is in my veins and gets straight to my heart! Oh, and I like rice krispy treats! lol...

The first pic was inspired by the work Kaws did on the 808s and Heartbreak special edition album. The art was done by none other than The Artist of Y-not? Chris Nwoha.
