Day 52

Been reading a lot ever since I've moved to Cali. Best way to learn, but its killing my eyes to spend hrs in front of the computer working then hrs in a book. Its worth it tho.

Day 51

Ahhhh July 27, 2010...Im 23 years old. Man Im getting old lol. Ima just chill with my fam and friends and sip on my favorite drink...no alcohol added, but y'all already knew that.

Day 50

Approaching my 23rd birthday. Do I continue in my ways or do I leave some things in the past?

Day 49

7th week in the book..sorry Ive been waiting to the absolute last minute to post..

Day 48

No I wasnt listening to any Jayz today...

Day 47

Decided not to go out to the club. Stayed in and watched Brooklyn's Finest with my brother. In my opinion it wasnt, "Fuqua's Finest" lol

Day 46

Wow my goatee is so red..smh I got in a pool at 10pm just for y'all lol.

Day 45

Tired..but whats new lol. Gonna get some rest tonight and prepare for the rest of week 7 of this project.

Day 44

Today is dedicated to my dad's all time favorite NFL player, Leroy Kelly. He was a running back for the Cleveland Browns and wore the number 44.

Day 43

Asked my twitfam for some help with today. Shoutout to @BakedGooods for the suggestion lol. She put me onto some Taylor Swift. Not really a fan but that didnt stop me from making a cameo in the video for "Teardrops On My Guitar."

Day 42

A day after seeing the movie Inception, it is all I can think of. Its always refreshing to see a movie that is well written, well directed and has good acting. VERY rare these days unfortunately, especially from a summer blockbuster. GREAT film and i highly recommend it.

"I dreamed we would grow old together..."

Day 41

I think this is my first weekend off since I started this project, I dont know what to do with myself. Got this idea from film maker Freddie Wong whose youtube page I subscribe to. Check it out if you have some spare time: www.youtube.com/freddiew

Day 40

Been trying out different ways of getting home from work. This one was a #fail lol. I got off at the Fruitvale Bart Station in East Oakland and decided to walk home......approximately 4.4 miles(didn't break a sweat though)

Day 39

Had a migraine yesterday, so I didnt get a chance to post. I think it was from a combination of being dehydrated and staring at my computer screen for so long. I started learning Spanish through Rosetta Stone.

Day 38

I promise Ima lighten up one day and smile. In the words of @LoveDrue today was "ehhhhhhh." But Im always thankful for another day. Music keeps me sane most days, thats why I have my headphones on in some of my pics. Lately, Ive been listening to The Roots new joint "How I Got Over." Definitely worth a listen.

Day 37

My favorite aunt KK sent me the movie "Frequency" awhile back to remind me of the fun times we used to have together. Im finally getting around to watching it. Thanks KK, I love you and miss you.

Day 36

Finally get to relax...

Day 35

Some more math for everyone. Can you figure out the equation?? If so, then you understand how I feel.

Day 34

Nothing like some pizza after a long day of moving. This marks the 6th time Ive been involved in a moving process in the last year and a half.

Side note: This makes me think of..."Knock knock, guess what the goons home!" lol

Day 33

After like a month waiting we finally got our apartment. Been working 2 jobs, freelancing, and doing personal projects and now I gotta move. Its cool though, Ive been waiting for this moment ever since I moved to Cali. No days off.

Day 32

I AM OSCAR GRANT. We all could be Oscar Grant. Its disheartening to know we live in a world where our lives hold little to no value. No Justice, No Peace...

Day 31

"Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared
They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds
So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years
Sittin on, different benches like it's musical chairs"

- Nas 2nd Childhood

I have no idea how listening to this song inspired this picture lol

Day 30

Had some stuff to take care of when I got home from work so I raced down to the end of the island to try and catch the sun. It was behind the clouds by the time I got there but I got a nice sunset.

Day 29

I feel like Im starting to lose my focus with this project. Been working a lot, trying to catch up on my reading and working on other ventures. I always wanted this project to be more about my photography rather than my Photoshop abilities but maybe I just need to find a balance.

Day 28

Simple holiday equation. Food + food + more food = ITIS. Great day had fun with the family. Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July.

Day 27

Shoutout to Aknacer. I stole this idea from him. If you dont already follow his photostream you should. He has some amazing images.

Day 26

Still trying to figure out how to shoot with flares. I was gonna do 'Day 26' the R&B group but I did that in my previous 365.

Day 25

Second day of work. I am tired but not from hard work or getting up at 7am. There's something about being bored for 8 and a half hrs that's physically draining.

Day 24

Started a new job today and I had to get an ID badge made. I took THE worst picture ever hahaha.
