JORTS.

JORTS.

Jean- Shorts.

Alex and I got blasted for wearing them last year, now they're being sold in urban outfitters.

Early tour pic above. This is from our Under the Sun/Under the Stars Tour with HONOR SOCIETY. It was SO MUCH FUN! This particular photo was from Indiana.

JORTS. That dog had no problem with JORTS and that dog is rad.

p.s. Stay tuned for my Puerto Rico re-cap, duh.

Mike Jackson

Yes. That is me at 6 years old CRUSHING a full on MJ situation for a Halloween party at my first elementary school, Columbus Elementary in Mt. Vernon, NY.

I moved to Rockland County, NY that summer and attended New City Elementary proudly! Enough backstory though...wow..I'm impressed with the authenticity of the outfit. I'm encouraging all the HS guys to have crazy childhood photos of themselves sent from their families in NY to LA for a section on our myspace I want to call: "HONOR SOCIETY: Chapter One".

Anyway just wanted to share this with you guys to prove when you have a dream, practice and stick with it, it will come true!

Listen to:

D'ANGELO.

Some of you may remember him, some of you may not, but point blank, D'Angelo is incredible. He's one of my favorite singers ever. I was obsessed with his last album 'Voodoo' and recently one of his songs popped up on my iTunes and I've been re-discovering his amazing music all over again.

Go download, "Untitled (How Does it Feel)", "Brown Sugar" and "Africa".

I won't steer you wrong.

Listen to:

The new self-titled Fray album. Some of you have already probably heard it or have it, but the song "Enough for Now" really touched me....awesome lyrics, beautiful melody, great vocal. Check it out. duh.

The vibe of the song just really speaks to me.

I do this a lot where I wait for the smoke to clear on an album before I listen to it. I either get a super early jump on a record or artist or I'm fashionably late.

Cre8tive Recreation

Hot kicks.

For those of you that don't know I'm a huge sneaker and shoe fan. I couldn't even bring all the kicks I had in NY to LA!!

I like all kinds of Nikes, Jordans, Reebok Pumps (which I was wearing on MTV this past summer!), vintage boots, I like it all! except for crocs....duh..or at least I hope you'd say duh too.

Creative Recreation is a really cool sneaker company that I've had my eye on for a while and me and the HS guys recently got to hang at the Creative Recreation offices in LA and we got hooked up!

Here's a couple pairs I picked out, the black ones mean business ... sexy business. The whites are CLEAN! The purple are a crazy pair for a crazy Laker fan like myself. Purple is also part of my old high school AND college colors (NYU). PURPLES!

Love you all,
duh.
