Word, Y'all Thought I Was Joking About That Vest...

Remember when I bought that rocawear shirt, with all the names well I had to make a choice remember?? The post is still up if you don't remember, but I will remind you that the choice was between the shirt or the metallic black bubble vest....

Yes the vest exists and I was ballin in it...

I Did Something Like This At My 8th Grade Graduation...

The young boy, was getting it in kind of reminds me of a young me when I was graduating in the 8th grade. I had to hit with the ill Michael Jackson, had the crowd going crazy. Shoot, my moves made the principal throw her house keys on stage. (Yea I have moves like those)

NIT Watches

Remember a couple months back we played in a tournament. Where we played St.Johns, Eastern Michigan, and some other school that escapes my mind but I remember beating them. Well anyways today we were in the locker room and coach comes down with a big box and encased in them were these smaller boxes. As I peered closer and recieved my box, I was like could it be... Our long awaited rings... Naw it wasn't that it was actually a watch that we got for participating in the NIT tournament.

Quite nice I might say... (*imagine what we would have gotten if we would have won the tourny)

Hare Jordan

Just in case you don’t remember, the “Hare” nickname comes from 1992 when the AJ 7 was advertised in commercials featuring Michael Jordan along with Bugs Bunny. In the commercial, Bugs Bunny shows the difference between “Air Jordan” (Michael Jordan) and “Hare Jordan” (The Shoes).
These will not be the only pair released their will be 2 other colorways to be released. Look for these to drop as a Quickstrike release set for April, 2009...

*Just in case you don't remember let me jog your memory curtosy of youtube

These are the nike dunk "night owl" sleek in their design are inspired by the show "Twin Peaks", Unfortunately these are set for release in Europe.

Remember...

So on the way back to campus, me and my friends stopped at the burlington coat factory, to buy some clothes at the local outlet mall. Burlington Coat Factory had everything from metallic bubble vests, to Polo shoes...

So I was deciding between the cardigan and the extremely tight adjustable new york fitted, when I saw tucked away in a pile. When I saw it, yes it. A diamond among crystals, the neddle in the haystack. The shirt I just had to buy...

The shirt made by Rocawear, it is simple I know, but it speaks volumes. As you can see and read that there are names on the shirt, each name is of a person that has had an impact on society, has everyone from MLK, Sean Bell, Me, and You... Great shirt I tell you.

Dre "Glad he didn't settle on that metallic bubble vest..." Day

Sorry I left you hangin....

I know, I know I have been gone for quite some time, y'all probably stopped checking the blog thinking, damn Dre done fell off. And can't keep up with the blog. Well for the record when I go back to the crib (in Toronto Canada) I unfortunately don't have the luxury of internet. Shoot out of all my friends only one of them has internet and his wireless works when it wants too. So with that said I did not have any chance to put any posts up.

One word Sorry...

Be prepared for the flurry of posts as I have unlimited access to wirless internet now and too much time on my hands. And a digital camera (Oh snap I can finally take legit pictures, and have movies longer than 20 seconds.)

Second Chance, In The Second Half, GIves Us Our Second Win At Home...

Today we played Lasalle at home today, while getting ready for the game we were under the assumption that no one would show except for the residents of ithaca and our supportive rebounders. But as it got closer to tip off, I looked around and to our surprise we had a pretty good showing giving that the school is out and most students are gone back to their families for holidays. (Great dedication people)

Anyways, to the main reason for this post, so we are playing Lasalle and we get off to a horrible start, like really bad. We getting smacked left, right and center. No energy, no offense, and lack luster defense, left us down at the half.

We get in the locker room heads hung low, coach D steps in and gives a speech something like the movies. Can't quite quote do to the frequent use of profanity, but it pretty much got our mojo going. Came out that second half blazing capitalizing on Lasalle's mistakes, a couple dunks, and big shots later we are winning this game buy 9.

(Don't believe me here check it out for yourself, http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20081220/BLOGS04/81220002)

Quite an emotional rollercoaster, and I think I will speak for everyone when I say no more of those. From now on we beating them by 25.

Ok I gave I know I hit you with the homeless bum guy rapping and singing and whatnot. But I came to realize that can get really annoying after a like a minute of listening to it. And the fact he did a whole song was aight.

But I must redeem myself, I fell like I let you down. So in a attempt for redemtion I found this guy. Who is actually pretty good.

Road To Repeat...

Now that the semester is officailly over. That means one thing we getting close to conference play, and for those of you that have been living under a rock for the past year, the Cornell Big Red smack that... (Well you know). Not only were we conference champs, we were undefeated, and we went to the tournament. First time in 20 years.

We changed the way people talk about Cornell Basketball, selling out a few times, got a nice little fan base and what not.

BUUUUUT that isnt even the best part, the best part is we are supposed to repeat. That means there is going to be a part 2, a sequel, its like The Big Red Returns With The Vengence. Oh Boy!!! And we packing a punch this year, plus I want another ring to because my finger on my left hand is getting kinda lonely.

Here's a link to the game that changed everything. (You can catch me dancing on the sideline I even got me a nice little freethrow, and lay-up in there) Check it out.

Honourary Goon...

I figured since I am not going to study right now, I should tell you all a story about one of my random nights on campus....

It all started... (cool flashback wipe effect) lol

I was walking through collegetown one night on my way to a little gathering, as I was walking I heard someone yell, "YO Dre you going to the gathering down the street?" I nodded and continued my steady pace toward my destination, but exactly 32 seconds later I hear an unfamilar voice yell my name, "Yo Dre can I come?" I look back it was this shady looking dude surrounding by 3 other people. I gulped and blurted out the first thing that came to mind, which was "Sure come on".

As we were walking the dude introduced himself to me as and I quote "G-Money", I chuckled to myself thinking G-Money must think he some type of thug or something. As we continue to talk he starts telling me that he is here visiting his cousin and whatnot and he had just came out the joint, (Joint meaning jail for y'all that don't know) DAMN! G is really a goon and I am here taking him to a little college student gathering, this looks like it is going to get real interesting.

Boy did this guy talk my ear off, he started telling me things about his past, present, and what he plans to do in the future, and every now then I would chime in with a "yea", or "I feel you", to keep things moving. That's when he laid it on me (No Homo) G-Money was like "Real Recognize Real, and my dude I respect you and if anything I got you in these streets, cause I know they can get mean" (said something along those lines).

He made me an honourary goon we exchanged numbers and everything. I have yet to call frankly he scares me and the way the night ended, well I took them to the gathering and 8 minutes later slipped out the back door, God knows I wanted no parts of that.

Play This Ablum For Instant Baby Making....

The big homie Jamie Fox is back at it again this time the R&B singer has dropped a new album called "Intuition". My first intuition was that this album wasn't going to be too great because I didn't really like the first single.

But after giving the album a listen, I retract my statement. This is one of those albums that you put on when your girl or man comes in the bedroom and you are covered and the bed is covered in rose petals. And you just finished taking a bubble bath and your skin is all soft and wet, and I digress...


My personal favourite is "Slow", play this song in a party and I guarentee something freaky is happening on the dancefloor... Take a listen



Dre "Catch Me Grindin Up A Storm To This Song"Day

That Beat Steady Knockin'...

Teamed up with my dude Alex Kresovich aka "Dirty Bird" A Cornell Alum as well as one of the better producers I know. We sat down and he showed me his studio, new sound system, and some new gadgets... I was even fortunate enough to collab with him and make a beat. Yes I know I am so multi - faceted...

These are the speakers dude was working with. Now these got some knock he defenitely got some bang for his buck.

The Fanthom X6 or as Dirty Bird calls it his "2nd child" this keyboard has like a gazillion sounds to choose from and play. Endless possibilites.



After showing me all that, Alex Kresovich lets me here some of his new joints that he produced. Overall this is how I felt about all of them...



Head bangers... Can't lie dude got some skill.

THE BEAT MAKING BEGINS

So now on to our project. We start by laying some drums down, next hi hats, then we just kind of work around that, add some chords a little bass in the background. And TADAAA we got our beat.

A Night Out With Dre

I decided to show you how, things really go down on a friday night. Boy some crazy stuff be going on and I have made it my responsiblity to put you guys on and have you take a peek at how it really goes down...

Here's the time line

9:30 pm, Getting ready... so here's my attire

Carhart Hat (gotta keep warm)
Carhart Jacket (gotta keep warm)
Hoodie (shoot you don't know it gets cold out here)
Sweatpants (I like feeling comfortable when I go out)
Timbs (Can't where the forces in the snow now.)

Y'all probably like "Oh word he didn't go out like that"

Yes I did...

10:30pm, Arrival

So after getting ready show up at the spot. I attempted to be fashoinably late but I was too eager get in there and twerk it/get my swerve on (for the old heads).

So when I arrived the party kinda looked like...well...

11:40ish pm, Get this party started...

Finally, the party starts to jump, I dont know if was the bass coming from the speaker but all of a sudden, people started to move. Party started to get live, I was sooo much fun, until these two came along, and worked it on the dancefloor...

They killed...

The party that is...

1:00am Home Time

After that the party pretty much finished up and I headed home, hit the bed and woke up the next day asking myself "was it worth it?"

Answer is, oh yea where else can you see moves like that...

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCMENT

This is a PSA, from me, Dre I am here to inform all you people out there on campus that it is not what it looks like. What I mean is just because we play on the basketball team doesn't mean we are beating girls off with a stick. I mean don't get me wrong part of me wishes that was the case, but that isn't.

So please, please, please, please, don't assume, that we have like 9 girls on call for whenever we need it, because baby that is definitely not the case.

Its just a misconception, we are pretty nice guys...

Recreation is always good...

This joints right here are called Creative Recreation, I personally like them cause like the Gourmet kicks you can wear these with skinny jeans, and they are sleek enough to pull of with some dress pants (if your reeeeaaall stylish).

For the baller on a budget, because if you rock them well enough, you can possibly trick them into thinking your ballin'...

Some People Wait A Lifetime, For A Moment Like This...

The greatest Jordan Pack to ever drop is out and about. The 11/12's both shoes must have in the collection for any Jordan head if you don't have them, son you need to get on them.

The bad thing is even Jordan knows how crazy this pack is cause online these joints is going for 459.99 which is a great different from regular price of 309.99.

With that said I'm going to write to Santa, be extra good, and maybe just maybe I might find this under my tree.

But if Santa can't get it for me, I understand its a recession and money don't grow on trees...

Tat, Tat, Tatted up

The title kind of explains it all. I have a couple of tattoos, been to the tattoo parlor 6 times, for 6 different tattoos, but I'm not going to show you all of my tattoos, I got some in places that only wifey can see ;)...

But the these are the tattoos I want you to peep.

The Real Ivy Man...

At cornell they have this annual competition, I which only the the best of the best, elite, damn near perfect take part in. In order to compete you must be hand picked by a committee. And afterward once you have given the green light that you will compete, then on goes to the treacherous training, beautifying, waxing, struting, and even the occasional push up.

You do all this to be crowned and dubbed Ivy Man of The Year. Which is kinda of a big deal this means you are the man among boys, everyone else is just a simpleton...

Fortunately one person was called a upon to represent us with dignity ( his identity has been wit held but we will name him GIGGILO), I must say he did a fine job his talent was off the chain by far well above the rest. But unfortunately he was robbed of his crown due to biased panel of judges.

Here is some footage from that fateful night with the young man showing off his talent...

GIGGLO you will always be my Ivy Man...

*Oh yeah that dude yelling GIGGILO thats your boy, haha had to do it he was just too smooth*

Karaoke and Alcohol, Ingredients For Destruction...

Went to a little charity function today for cancer, which I was bittersweet about. I like the company I was with, the people I met, and the cause that was being supported. But I will be damned if I would sit and listen to drunken people sing off key, and out of pitch to N'Sync's "Pop".

At one point I didn't know if it was the alcohol or the shrieking from the people on stage but my head was thumping... haha. All in all it was a good night.

Good laughs and good people all singing horribly for a good cause, I love it....

Happy Birthday Latisha :) :)

I know I said I owed you a birthday present, and I said it was going to be something different. And since I'm a baller on a budget I told you don't expect anything to extravagent, but maybe something a little more creative. And since birthday cards are played out and e-cards are just email versions of their played out brethen.



Since I now have a blog I was thinking how many people you know have ever had a happy birthday shout out on the internet. So I said this is a start. So with that said



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LATISHA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!



Hope you enjoy your day, and like the rest of your presents





My bad that your present is like 3 weeks late it takes time for creativity...

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! TESTS AHHHH!!!

Thats what I am about to look like for the next 2 weeks. And I know that there will be many of you biting your fingernails until there arent any and then you will move on to the toe nails.

So with that said remember school is important but your sanity is just a tad bit more important so make sure you find a way to relieve stress.
Here are my top 5 stress relievers:

1. video games
2. eating
3. writing on the blog
4. drinking (nothing like a couple shots to calm the nerves and keep you focused)
5. staring endlessly into space, thinking about nothing... Quite hard, takes a bit of an effort to get to that place of nothingness...

*Joking about #4 no good comes from alcohol, well....*

Let Me Get A One Against The Grain...

Got tired of looking like a stylish bum around campus and I have decided to finally cut my hair. Barber shop is way to far, and since its the only black barber shop with only on barber working. If I go I would have to be prepared to spend like 8 hours in that place.

So I decided to cut my luxurious locks on my own.... *GULP*

Before....


After



All in all not that bad, I am pretty satisfied. So if you know anyone thats trying to get a cut, my hours are:

mon - fri 12am - 12pm (through the months of august to may) *For Cornell students on campus

mon - fri 12am - 12pm (through the months of may to august) *For citizens of Toronto

How Do You Forget About A Loss... You Watch Someone Else Lose

So after we practice we hit the hotel and go to sleep wake up the next day for a early 1pm game, fast forward we take a L unwillingly. Pack up and head to the locker room. Afterwards we eat and then head off to the Minnesota Timberwolves game where the entire team has box suite seats fully equipped with gatorade, soda, food of all kinds. And later on a cheerleader or 2, (but that story is for a later date)

By the way Minnesota lost

And the starting line up...

We Have Arrived...Next Stop Practice...

As soon as we get off the plane, we eat no time to relax cause just as quickly as we finished our food we were of to the gym, to go get some practice in the day before the game. No real complaints...

Pulling up to the venue...

Minniesota Gophers we coming to smack that *you know the rest*....

Home of TImberwolves and Gophers... Part 1

This past weekend I had the luxury of going to minnesota, we had a game against the gophers in which we ultimately lost but I will get into that on a later post. But anyways I decided to chornicle some of this journey with my sidekick, I have a couple of pictures and some clips from the trip.
