Favorite memory of 2008 - I def had wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyy too many memories from the past year that I can still remember (wait, what?) and am very fortunate to have. From front row to Glow in the Dark (typical huh) to actually becoming friends with Andy Hull and having him help me get The City Snapshot off the ground, I definitely found myself at many unexpected moments this year, which are my favorites because the sheer lack of any reason why this is occurring makes it twenty times more enjoyable for me, I dn't know how many times I looked over at Wave and laughed because i'm really so grateful for everything I get. Like, i'm really NOT supposed to be here doing this, lol. I met some of my best friends, reconnected with some old ones, and finally moved to Atlanta to start a blog (fucking joke!)
Favorite cd/movie - This year was a EXTREMELY good year for music to me. Well, atleast the music I like. TV on the Radio returned to let everyone know four black guys from Brooklyn (plus Dave! Don't forget Dave!) will rip your face off with guitars and made the album of the year in Dear Science. No Age and Vampire Weekend both showed me two very different angles of what it meant to be a punk rock band today. One was just sheer emotion and output, where as the other just broke the mold and became a standout group with one of my favorite records of the year. I fell back in love with Fall Out Boy, which makes me very happy. Oh and some guy named Kanye West put out an album. And I'm proud as a parent over my homie J-Lie, keep doin ya thing fam.
The Dark Knight was great, I don't normally go to the movies, I went three times in one week to go see it.
Brand of the Year - Mishka. Hands down. but i'm really feelin the new Play Cloths gear, live nigga streetwear is back!!!!!!
What to look forward to in '09 - The City Motherfuckin' Snapshot. And keep reading our blog, it means alot to me that someone would actually care about the shitty thoughts on our (new) shitty blog. :)

Favorite memory of 2008- Well I had some great moments the whole Obama campaign was awesome. I picked up some great habits such as making daily notes and to-do lists. And actually completing them. It was actually pretty recent but I loved going to the Cavs game. Hanging out with Pharrell on a couple of occasions was great. I got and wrecked and fixed a new car so I feel I need to mention that and...... I got a JOB. I've met some new friends that I've really learned a lot from and had to let some of you niggas go (What do you want me to do I'm sorry). And Yea.... I still have that stalker girl damn... and yeaaaaa The City Snapshot is actually real now.
Favorite Book I Read in 2008- The only book I really sat back and read and really loved after the third chapter this year was "Do You" by Russel Simmons. I enjoy talking to people more than reading and the way the book is set up is so similar to a conversation it's scary, Russ is a smart guy and I'll probably read it again this year.
Worst "Slang" Word of 2008- Swag???? Swag on Em???? Turn Ya Swag Up??? yea enough lol. It was fun to say though
Girl Of The Year- Well as many of you know I plan on marrying Keri Hilson (not really, YOU pipe down) but I decided to make this category the other night when I SWEAR she looked and winked at me and smiled. This comes exactly 3 months after we met and I gave her my number. Coincidence? I'll let you be the judge
Music- I really enjoyed a lot of tunes this year. Andre 3K is always great, The Clipse dropped some new stuff, Kid CuDi and Jimmy, Fallout Boy (Tiffany Blews, yes!), MGMT, Santogold and 88 Keys to the usuals of Lil' Wayne, Jay, Kanye, and The City Snapshot lol. It was a great year. And shouts to Berg (Carl I see ya). But one of my favorite CDs/Mixtapes of the year goes to *drum roll*..... Wale - The Mixtape About Nothing
Television- Entourage. Enough Said. And Johnny Drama was Man Of the Year.
Brownstone.
