Justice- A Cross The Universe Live DVD/Documentary

I've known about this for a while, but I really would like to get this when it comes out December 9th. Perhaps I can live vicariously through the DVD since I've yet to see them live much to my discontent. : (




Looks soooo dope--even if you don't like Justice peep the trailer. There are guns, booze, & boobs--ya know if those kinds of things interest you. ; )
Anyway, here it is:

My life has been utterly ridiculous lately.

Ahhhhhh.

EVEN BETTER!
I know, I know more Kanye, but why not? I just stole this from Chris, a fellow Temple kid (read his blog, it's good). Thanks bud!

Sky High: A We Got The Remix Special Edition Mix Tape
It has seriously official remixes with DJs like A-trak, Diplo, & Scottie B.



Download it.



Alright, I'll get off of Kanye West now. Srrrrry.

Kanye West/Andre 3000 Mixtape & more Mr. West


I downloaded this Tapemasters INC. mixtape a few days ago. I can't remember where exactly I got it so I can't post it.
But I'm sure you could find it somewhere if you search Google.

It might not be worth trying to find if you already have like every Kanye West track on your ITunes though it has a whole lot of remixes from both Kanye & Andre 3000. So, it's kinda sweet.
Just sayin'.


Even though half of the tracks have already been leaked, it might be a nice thing to have before Kanye releases this next week:


Seems like 808s & Heartbreak is gonna be WAY different from past albums. And dude's seriously had his heartbroken.

My future?

Okay. As many of my friends & family know, I have been very conflicted about my career goals post graduation.
Well, I've been studying the media for almost 3 years now, and I thoroughly enjoy it. ALL aspects. From learning about its effects on our society to production and beyond.
I've gone back and forth countless times in my mind about what exactly I'm going to do with this Broadcasting, Telecommunications, and Mass Media major (or better known in the Temple world as BTMM). Naturally, my parents have been up my ass about it too.

Well, I think I've finally decided the direction I want to go.
Music makes my world go round & money makes the world go round, if we're being frank.
So, I definitely feel that I want to do something involving music. I can't avoid it; it's too influential on my sanity.
Also, I am thinking I want to get involved in a new media outlet (this is now an older term but w/e). In primarily web-based companies, as we are seeing today with blogging, podcasts, etc this is the most progressive form. At least in my opinion. So maybe getting involved in something like a web-based blog or magazine/independent record label/street apparel type of company. I don't know.

But along these lines is what I am ultimately thinking, and I feel pretty good about it.

Either way, I am going to keep my options wide open, because who really knows where the future is going to take me..or anyone.

Parking Wars

Much like many Philadelphians, I have a passionate dislike for the Philadelphia Parking Authority. I used to be understanding about this, but I can no longer comply.

$51 ticket today for parking, on my own block, of which I pay to live on. I will never understand this. (Did I mention that I just paid one off?)
It is no wondering that this organization has a reality show on A&E surrounding it. In other words, The PPA must really be THAT corrupt & just outright ridiculous for there to be a show on television about parking.
Um..yeah.

Someone give me something to be cheerful about today. It would be greatly appreciated.

I'm such a slow blogger.

I need to start keeping up with this thing.
I'll start with the positive (I mean, after all, my blog is called Gotta Stay Positive am I right?), the two things of which I discussed two posts prior to this one..happened.
The Phillies won the World Series in 2008. It was so much fun to be a Philadelphia resident during this madness, but much more importantly of the two...

Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President-elect of the United States.
I have not been able to say this very often, but I was really and truly proud to be an American on October 4th. This change is so needed in our country, and it's such an accomplishment to see an African-American man in the highest of offices. Amazing. I hope that he gets something done in there. The country is rooting for ya, Barack.

Can you believe this man is going to be our President though? Wow, he's so f'ing cool.


On a negative note:
After we thought we were going in a direction towards diversity and equal rights post- election, the California Proposition 8 ballot was amended towards their state Constitution. In turn it eliminated the right for same-sex couples to marry.
I could probably rant and ramble about how unfortunate & unfair this vote is. It makes me so very very sad. However, I don't really feel like doing that because I am already not in the most pleasant of moods at the moment. So, I'll let this guy do the talking instead:
