The only things that ever changes is the day on the calendar. I been in spring break mode since Friday afternoon. I've been sleeping and playing basketball like no one's business. Since basketball has been my one true love since I could remember I tend to take it for granted sometimes. This summer I vow to give it the love it deserves. The only thing I hate about basketball is the venue that i play it in. The park is the place where most people got their first real taste of fun, love, competition, and altercations. As you get older these things change and evolve. Sometimes the last one creeps up to remind you that it's still there just as raw as it was when you where first introduced. I'm a no nonsense person with an allergy to tough talk. If we gonna fight then fight. After that lets continue the game and let it be that. Sometimes I don't always let my calm demeanor prevail, bet I never let my anger completely overtake me. Basketball is my one true love, and like any true love there is bad to go along with the good.
To my love that followed me from my early years to now. I only say
"swish Swish"

"Insight Is Better Than Foresight"
Quality Control in the Building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey readers it's Trynds here to give you just a piece. I decided to switch up and tell my readers some things about myself. I don't usually give people this kind of opportunity but I feel kinda extra today.
I was born in Brooklyn with roots in Harlem. I have 2 half brothers, a couple aunt's and uncles, two grandmother's and a grandfather. I currently live in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. I live with Both of my parent's, my Aunt and Cousin.
Now with the preliminary intro out of the way lets get to the nitty gritty.
I love Cerealwith the passion most peeple have for money. I own almost 75 pairs of sneakers but, I only wear about 25 of them. National Geographic is listed as my second favorite channel behind NBA T.V. while BET and Mtv are 58 and 59 respectively.( I have 59 favorite channels). I believe that my watch is more important in my outfit than my sneakers. I hate milk but drink it everyday. I'm the only person that i know who is allowed to draw and spray paint on my room walls. If i'm in my room then i'm in my underwear. I'm the only person I know with the goal of becoming a published novelist. I hate most conventional N*gga shows. my ipod has 1900 songs and the whole first season of WEEDS. In 2003 Cam'ron>>> Your Favorite artist. I often get confused with my career goals because people say I'm good at so many things. I watch cartoons because they aren't so pretentious. Cottage cheese is in my refrigerator because I asked for it. Juno could possibly be my favorite movie behind Friday. Lil Wayne isn't that nice, he's just that "HIGH". Memphis Bleek is the most underrated member of the old Rocafella. Jay-Z is my favorite rapper.(People that hate Jay-z only make me like him more. I really liked Lupe Fiasco till he walked past me in the Air Port and I looked clean over his head. I'd rather rock a plain t-shirt than pay $25 and up for a t-shirt that will only match one pair of my sneakers. As soon as I got the girl I really wanted all other girls became ugly. Beyonce' is UGLY.(just personal opinion). My girlfriend says I'm always right. I don't believe her. Maurie's are horrendous. I get over things extremely easy. As soon as playing video games became acceptable I stopped playing them. My girlfriend could possibly be the perfect mix between tomboy, sexy, and thick. I get jealous of those that get what i got first. My waves spin but I hate Du-rags so they never last. My girlfriend is my fetish. I hardly speak to my best Friend because we always handling business (Big ups Vincent a.k.a Pretty Black). I don't hate my ex's as much as I make it seem. I have feelings. I'm not sensitive. I'm extremely honest. Guava Nantuckett Nectar>>>>>>>> your thoughts.

"Yeezy Got A Vision that's Clearer Than Evian"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's good my people's, It's Trynds a.K.a Quality Control and I wanna say that everybody that sits down and takes time out of their very importnat lives is officially apart of MY Grammy Family.
I never lie so I'm back two days in a row spewing my views and opinions in the only way I know how.
I never lie so I'm back two days in a row spewing my views and opinions in the only way I know how.
"I am who I is". I'm like a free newspaper: take it or leave it.
So other than my my normal school happenings evrything is everything. Today was hard on my senses though. Specifically my eyes and ears. The things I saw gave me 2 topics I have strong issues with.
Sneaker Culture and Hip-Hop.
The amount of bandwagon riding is rediculous in sneaker culture. Everybody rocks sneakers because the next person is doing it. People rocking sneakers because they know they will get you attention. Honestly I think sneaker culture is kind of Homo. Wearing your sneakers to impress another man is suspect. i truly believe that it's more about hype than actual love. I refuse to rant and rave about it because my one voice will not change a culture that has set into a self destructive manor on it's own.
Music is more of an issue for me than sneakers at this point. With quality Hip-Hop going un-noticed because of it's lack of snap ability, chanting, simplistic lyrical content and bullshit, I hate 2007-2008 Hip-Hop in every capacity. The younger generations general laziness in music selection is starting to demolish the aclaim hip-hop once had. With more veterans and experianced hip-hop heads struggleing to keep up with todays terms, they are creating music that is only a shell of their once great art. Dumbing down lyrics, making songs more catchy, and riding whatever current format that is popular. In my last stich effort I plea. The youth is corupt, void of thought or opinion. Producing your craft based on the current trend is cruel and unusual punishment to those that ran with you because of what you brought to the table as your individual self. Trends die, Quality doesn't.
I sign off with quality, style, and individualism. Be You !!!!!!!!!!!!!

C.R.E.A.M: Cash Rules Everyhting Around Me
What's up everybody it's your boy Trynds a.k.a Quality Control.
This past week has been crazy and it seems like the world is get shaken up.
I was just beginning to go to sleep the other night at around midnight when my blackberry buzzed that annoying buzz saying that I had received a E-mail. How was I to know that that E-mail solitified all my loyalty and fanship. The Message read that my fellow Brooklynite and favorite rapper Jay-z a.k.a Jigga a.k.a Hova a.k.a HOV a.k.a Jigga Man a.k.a Iceberg Slim a.k.a Jay a.k.a S dot. a.k.a Shawn is in talks over a deal with live nation worth $150 million. This made Me wake up and reda the whole article. In my eyes and many die hard Jay-z this is his vendication. For everybody else it's just given another nigga alot of money to spit words that rhyme. The only thing that bothered me was that the next day in the newspaper there was an article with the head line stating that Jay's deal was excessive. This only bothered me because nobody flinched when live nation offered Madonna's old rinklely ass $120 million . Is it a black thing or is it a Rap thing. Either way I say shut up and let that man get money. In an age where Lebron James is offered $90 million dollars for a sneaker deal before he ever played his first basketball game; $150 million to someone that has been a tried and true sucess and has delivered on more than one occasion. Ya'll should be ashamed.
(P.S.) In other Jay-z news he supposedly got married to Ms. B late friday night at his tribecca loft. if so goodluck to that man, if not o well.
In another crazy deal that I just couldn't believe Los Angeles streetwear label "The Hundreds" was bought by super group LVMH. For those that don't know that stands for Louis Vuitton & Moet Hennesay. The deals is saying hundreds company will make out with $9 million in cash and $1.6 million in stocks of LVMH. They also get to relinquish their $32 million debt.
I promise I'll be back with more Gems tomorrow so I'll cut it short for now.
Song of the day:
