LIFE: Lonely Hotel Nights In Atlanta (1.31.12)

vashtie — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:09:21 +0000

I love Atlanta. I need to stop visiting places when it’s only for work. Can’t wait to share the two projects that I’m doing down here with you guys. Until then, I’m listening to some 90′s Alternative Rock on my BEATS BY DRE and dreaming of a permanent vacation with Vladimir the Russian Blue Kitty.

I really think if he could speak, these are some of the things he would say…

“I’m a Giants fan, fool. Act like you know!”

“I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death…”

“I think EVERY LITTLE THING U DO by CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS is a timeless record”

“SUPREME will always by my favorite, but right now I wish all these newbies would slow down on rocking it to death”

“Yeah…I wrecked this chair. And what?!

“I see you, dirt bag”

“Yoga is my shit”

“I may not sleep, but I occasionally take power naps”

“I know you bought me an expensive warming cat bed, but I’d rather sleep in this cardboard box”.

Nothing like a phone to date your photo like this blackberry.

This photo was taken in the Summer of 2006. Me and KUNLE aka EARSNOT were roomates. I was working at NIKE ID and he was working at ALIFE. This day was special. It was the official release of the ARI SNEAKERS. I remember that day, right before the event I picked up a pair of Christian Louboutins 5 inch espadrilles (before I would be entirely turned off by the “RED BOTTOM” trend and vowed never again…). I got off from work and took a cab to take a peak of the event happening in the back yard space. I didn’t stay long, but it was nice to see my roomie and homie KUNLE.

After flying back from my NIKE trip, I was a bit delirious and exhausted- but, I had work to do. Me and Q-TIP’s Friday party would be in effect, which meant I needed to be ready to go. I ate some good grub and took a nap and was almost as good as new!

Holler!!! I was super stoked to see this but super sad that I wasn’t in town. I’m even more sad that I didn’t know they’d hang it and shine light on a sistah’s piece.

It was long overdue, but Angelo and I got to spend some real quality time at the beach – like the good old days. You can see the other images I posted HERE.

He posted the images on his site today and wrote:
“Shot Vashtie at the beach a weekend ago…budweisers, depeche mode, brooklyn and trini food…”

I miss you dude. Despite being an LA resident, you will always be a ROTTEN APPLE DWELLER. I miss the days of DEF JAM…poking fun at everything and talking about the days when we “make it” (looks like we both did). Congratulations on the studio and success!

I will always hold a dear place in my heart for you, friend. You were the one and only person who was a friend enough to help me “DODGE A (VIRGINIA HAM SIZED) BULLET” (as ELLE CLAY calls it)…hahahahahahaha. Who knows where I’d be without that! I am forever thankful.

Hurry up and finish that damn album so we can pull rabbits out of hats and say things like “ABRACADABRA” on fools!!! “PLAIN” is my jammy jam, they ain’t ready.

PS: That fragrance should come with a warning and Miss M.H. is mystifying!
