JohnJuan's PODCASTS'

September 25, 2010 Yes, there's abandoned buildings everywhere. I've noticed quite a few empty joints here in Miami. They just don't stay empty for very long. Someone was restoring that apartment building up above. I'll get another picture when they're finish. September 24, 2010 I'm a sucka for old shit. The sign on that store has gotta be from the 1960's. Someone obviously appreciates old shit like myself because you can tell that it was "imported" to the building. The building it sits on probably isn't even 20 years old. One of the things I wanted to do out west was just go on a photo snapping spree of all the old signs that are around there. Not to go on and on about this, but You see the same kinda signs in Detroit, but because of the harsh winters and rocks thrown into them, they just look like junk. There's a spot in vegas that actually stores old signs from casinos I think. I shot a photo of it a few years ago. *I'll find it and put the link here. September 24, 2010 too Went to tampa last weekend. It's a nice getaway from the fast pace of Miami. For some reason, I always think of Tampa as being a small town, but no. That mothafucka is actually pretty big. It just seems to manage to keep a small town feel. But then again, maybe that's just me. Either way, I enjoy an occassional visit. Westshore Mall is amazing. September 6-7, 2010 Tried to put this up on twitpic yesterday. Shit was running too slow though. Labor day night as a child was probably the most exciting evening for me next to Christmas eve. I still remember not being able to get to sleep the night before because I was a kid that loved school. But more importantly, I loved takin' the tags off those fresh new clothes and rockin' shit like members only jackets, cuffed 501's & a lacoste, fox or le tigre polo shirt and of course a pair of nikes. I had 2 lunch boxes in my life. Still got em too. 1st one was a Star Wars episode 1 joint and the 2nd is the one you see in the pic above. see the date on the pic directly above pictures? That was september 27 years ago. I could put any of those articles of clothing on right now and still be fly. We rocked timeless shit back then. Now if I pulled out LATE 80's middle school and 1990's H.S. pics, it would be a different story. For real though, I had it made then just like I do now. oooh, I remember those big crayola boxes with the built in sharpener. Do they still make those? And you see that Flex notebook. That was like a year before the trapper keeper came out. lol. September 5, 2010 Seriously, 12 years ago, when I was buying bootleg cassettes from the shops in Hamtramck(before napster), I didn't give a fuck about the artist. But now in 2010, seeing good music slowly disappear because brothas that do it can't make any money unless they can get shows & tours it hurts. Got sent to a DL link for the full CD just by searching for the release date. Ridiculous. Good joint though, so I'll purchase it on Tuesday from a mom & pops store. September 5, 2010 Really feelin' the video to this track by the homies. My jaw dropped when I saw that old school lac bend that corner like I've done so many times in the D. lol, I'm definitely buyin' 2 copies of "The Album of the Year" by Black Milk when it drops. September 5, 2010 Okay, I'm done for real after this one. No more clippings from Detroit. September 5, 2010 Not sure how I missed this. Like I said with the mayor a few days earlier. If mothafuckas are bold enough to take Jesse Jacksons shit, do you think they'd think twice about taking a "regular" niggaz shit. lol. Seriously though, I've been sittin' my ass in Florida for 6 months now and I still can't stay away from the news in Detroit. Shit is addicting because you never know what you're gonna see. September 4, 2010 Seriously, the news in Miami got the biggest booty'd newswomen I've ever seen man. They're like all ass and thigh. Look at the weathermans expression. The news down here is just the shit yall. Even the men at the stations seem like cool cats and not the stuffy or gay niggaz I'm used to seeing. September 4, 2010 In an effort not to look like a fuckin' stalker, I try to to not even talk about the women on local TV here in S. Florida. But this shit is ridiculous. I'm hooked on the local morning shows. They used to have an old dude that had been with the station for 25 years. He retired over the summer and they have been off the hook since then. They're selling sex on the news here. I was half woke yesterday morning, laying in my recliner, sippin' on some apple juice and I hear them talking about "boobies". The 2 women kept saying, "Boobies" and giggling. They were speaking on a news story about a high school in the midwest that had banned pink bracelets that were being supporting breast cancer because they said, "I love boobies". lol, but the women on the news knew what they were doing. Then I doze off a lil bit more, but I hear something to the effect of "I don't think it'll fit in my mouth." I quickly woke up outta my half-sleep and see the three bad broads that host the morning show on NBC local 6 eating pickles. They were doing close-ups on these women biting down on vlastics because apparently there's a pickel festival this weekend. I grabbed my camera so I could get a quick shot. Didn't think anyone outside of Miami would believe me. Sorry, it's lil blurry, but I was barely woke. September 4, 2010 Not sure how long my feet have been dry, rough and cracking. You know typical fucked up feet. I've never really paid any attention to it. A bitch the other day told me that she likes to suck toes and asked me to take off my shoes. My jaw dropped. I remember I had one other chick that I dated a long time ago that had a thing for that. Nasty if you ask me. I told her there is no way I'm even letting you look at my feet as fucked up as they are. She reached in her purse and gave me a bottle of this lotion. She said, "Put this on and next time I come over, you're gonna let me lick those toes." I took it and said, "Yeah whatever bitch." But dig this. I put this lotion on my feet yesterday and today. My feet actually look "pretty" now. Nah, I'm not showing you my toes, but I'm just in shock at how after years of dry-ass feet, 2 uses of this shit and my feet look almost commercial worthy. Curious, I called the broad up to ask how much that shit cost. She says, "Oh, they have a shelf full of it at the dollar store. It's on sale for 60 cents. Amazing. I fucked around and got a manicure the other day too. Now I'm a nigga that doesn't give a fuck about how my nails or my skin is looking. But these hoes be noticing everything. I'm stunned. Handing money to a cashier at the store I always goto and she says, "Wow, your hands look so nice and healthy." September 3, 2010 Another one bites the dust. Intentionally set too. It's in H.P. as the Yellowpages building I showed yall last month is. I've been inside this joint once for a haircut like 15 years ago I believe. I remember it well, the architecture was nice for a classic apartment building. Anyplace else in the country...well, you already know what I'm gonna say. Anywhere else, someone would have taken the time to restore this old luxury joint to it's original splendor. Not in H.P. though. I'm honestly surprised the old Model T factory and the old Chrysler headquarters hasn't gone up in flames yet. September 1, 2010 too It's wrong, but I started thinking about this sign that I snapped last year. Mothafuckas just don't know how to appreciate good leadership. I happen to think Mayor Bing is a cool dude. Ex NBA player turned millionaire business owner. His company has been feeding people in the D. Puttin' roofs over their heads for a long time. He decided to run for Mayor of the city when shit was at an alltime low. Dude is in his mid 60's and could be living in a penthouse anywhere in the world he wants. Yet he chooses to stay in the "D" TRYING to improve it. Maybe it's ego, maybe it's the challege or maybe he really does care. Either way, He's doing it. Okay, no more Detroit shit in this blog. September 1, 2010 too I had said to myself that starting in Septemeber, I wasn't even gonna look at the news in Michigan. I'm addicted to those local city websites. This is the last one. lol. Now if the Mayors shit is gettin' stolen, what can the average nigga in the city do about his rims, toys, etc. September 1, 2010 As you can see a brotha was on his grind in August. In case you can't remember, just click back to the first entry of last month and compare it to this one. Like I said many times before, I try not to focus on traffic. But Got dammit, I'm a competitor. I wanna be on top. I'ma grind even harder in September. .
