This is D.O.S.N (Death of Social Networking), moment of silence!
With the semester starting back up in about a week, I need to purge myself of all possible social networking distractions. I've got 45 hours left before I graduate and I don't want anything interfering with my success.
My Tumblr was the first to go and my Facebook will be next...the blog is safe though!

Sept. 2nd..
..is my birthday; but not just any birthday, its the big 25!
I've been contemplating, for a while now, what kicks I could possibly grab to commemorate the big VEINTICINCO! About a month ago I'd decided to go with Copper Foamposites...

A definite head-turner and definitely a great special occasion shoe. My mind was set. That was until I heard about the Pearl Foams...
being re-released on Sept 3rd...the day after my bday!
As much as I like the Copper Foams, the Pearls....O_O!
So my dilemma, Coppers or Pearls? Pearls or Coppers? HELP!!

Are My Tattos Ok?
The latest blog I wrote for work:
One of the first questions I get asked about in New Hire Orientation pertains to Goodwill's policy on tattoos.
Goodwill's policy states that as long as the tattoo in question is non-offensive, does not contain profanity and is not gang-related then it is permissible.
I personally think, employers have to approach the issue concerning tattoos with an open mind in order to provide a work environment that welcomes employees. The competition to attract and retain skilled workers has resulted in corporate cultures that strive to demonstrate the value placed on individual and group contributions. There is increasing attention paid to offering a company culture and benefit package that supports a variety of lifestyles. Should someone with a visible tattoo be treated any differently?
Personally, I think it depends on the employer's industry and the type of job.
For example, the odds are that a four-star hotel may not want the concierge to have large tattoos of skulls and crossbones on the back of each hand. But the same hotel may have less concern if a dishwasher in the kitchen has those same tattoos because direct contact with the hotel's customers is minimal.
The key for employers is to have a written policy that employees are required to read and sign, and then to enforce that policy consistently. That way, employees are not able to claim that the policy was applied differently to them. The policies should be based on sound judgment that is in the best interest of the business. That means that employee and customer interests also need to be considered before the policy is drafted.
At Goodwill, all employees are notified of the policy on tattoos and are then required to sign a form, which goes into their employee file, that states they understand and will abide by the rules. I love that our organization understands that good employees come in all shapes, shades and sizes…and some come with ink!

..next chapter
My time as an Austinite is coming to an end.
I'm moving back to Waco at the end of the month and I have to say it is definitely bittersweet. I've made some good friends, worked for a good organization and lived it up in the great city of Austin; but this past year not living with my wife was unbearable. We're doing the right thing for us! Not stressing the change too much though. I know this stint in Waco, however long it may be, is one step closer to me accomplishing great things. Plus, my mom, nieces, nephews and in-laws are there as well as so it'll be good being close to them.
But I digress, I plan on getting a lot of Austin in the next week! My Tumblr will probably be a better source of keeping up with me until I get situated..

L.E.$ - The Beautiful Struggle (Mixtape)
...Just finished listening to Teflon Don... definitely another great album that Ricky can add to his catalog. If you haven't copped it, doing so would be worth it.
But on to the next...
A few days ago I downloaded L.E.$ The Beautiful Struggle but never got around to listening to it.
If you don't know L.E.$, he's a member of DJMrRogers' DSF crew as well as the newest member of Slim Thug's BHO imprint. I'm currently on track 12 of 23 and I haven't been disappointed yet! ..finished the whole thing! Definitely the hottest mixtape of the summer, and maybe even the year! That's a bold statement I know but trust me on this!!
I'll be posting my some of my favorite tracks on my Tumblr in the coming days..

Duck Tales Woo-ooh!
I remember sitting in front of the TV watching DuckTales as a kid...ahh the good ol' days!
Since I missed out on their Jetsons tees last year, I had to make sure I got my order in for one of these! I copped the Launchpad tee in black...
You can view the Dope Tales line here, or their entire webstore here.
...more mailbox goods!

You've Got Mail...vol 2.
Look at what came in the mail...a scale and some arm & hammer!
So the watch pictured above was bought this past Saturday for $130. While I was overcome with the utmost joy, DJhip'd told where I can get it for half that...so I took it back.
Now I've wanted this watch for a long time but couldn't bring myself around to buying it. I even had a chance to cop it back on my Anniversary, but went with the retro Jordan 2's instead.
So as soon as I took it back, I hopped online on the iPhone [aka the greatest phone ever] and ordered it for literally half of what I had just paid. I was excited to have saved the money but pissed that I had to wait nearly a week to get it...good thing this week has flown by...
I'm happy!
