big i become is only going to be determined by the success of my work. hopefully my talents can push me thru to the big leagues. hopefully my iLL-EAGLE team can move just as smoothly with me. this is not even like... i life goal or plan anymore. if you believe in it, this is fate/destiny. i just happen to know what it is before it gets here.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;this is only the beginning. a group of talented, tormented boys who range in the ages from 18 - 24 with low technology, high intelligence, the hunger for more, with a bunch of really really great yet poorly recorded songs. it'll gradually get better. better recorded songs on jacked beats turn into better recorded songs on original beats turn into electrifying performances on open mic stages all over the city turn into all over the reigon turn into all over the country. you'll see. i'm gonna run this town.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-C!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S: we're in

they are wayyy overqualified for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when you brush your teeth and drink orange juice like 20 mins after, but that wack ass after taste is still in your mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when people smoke cigarettes b/c there is absolutely NOTHING positive to come out of that....i need to quit smoking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when you find a pair of sneakers in your crib that you used to rock hardbody and they still clean, so you put em on, but you realize you have to clip your toenails to fit em the right way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when you start talking about something really important but somewhere into the conversation your mind wanders off and you (and the person your talking to) forget what the fuck you where talking about in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks like hell when you can't find your phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when i write songs that i think are fuckin dope when i write it, but after about 3 or 4 times of repeating and memorizing the shit, i think it sucks so bad i strike it from my memory and throw it away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when you have talent but lil things get in the way of you seeing that through, so you have to wait to express yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when the peanut butter side of your pb&amp;amp;j sammich is too peanut buttery, so when you bite it, the shit sticks to the roof of your mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it REALLY sucks when you drink tea/coffee or soup too fast and you burn your tongue, and it loses tasting sensation in that area of your tongue for the next 4 - 5 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it sucks when you think of something really cool and find out someone else thought about it first and made something out of it

that can change if the right connections are made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: i just wanna make good music.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hello, my name is A.C. some call me C.J, others call me Loso, but my mama calls me Carlos and my el calls me baby. over the years other people for some reason have taken it apon themselves to call me Kanye...Yeezy.....Lil Lupe... and other thing to that accord. now i see that as a compliment in the highest regard, however i must ask, on what grounds are these means of comparison? I DON'T LOOK LIKE EITHER OF THE TWO MEN. though our style may be simillar, i am MOST DEFINATELY a greatly watered down version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: kanye west is my mother fucking idol. i look up to him in the same fashion that he looks up to jay-z. lupe fiasco is arguably one of the best to pick up a microphone in my humble opinion. and another great style aficianodo to boot. so when you read the headline don't get the wrong idea. i'm not competing or trying to compete. i just knew it'd get more attention if it said that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

I relate to them more on &amp;amp; off the mic and their skill only gives me drive to be a better M.C. with that said i'd like to encourage all who haven't yet purchased or heard &lt;i&gt;"Lupe Fiasco's Food &amp;amp; Liquor"&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;"Lupe Fiasco Presents The Cool"&lt;/i&gt; to definitely give them both a good listen to.&lt;br /&gt;His fabled 'last' album will be entitled, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;LUPE.N.D&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, and is said to be a triple ablum, set to release this year has been postponed indefintely. &lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;HOWEVER!!!!

I AM NOT GOING TO DO IT. so don't freak out. but seriously, doesn't everyone contemplate killing&amp;nbsp;themselves&amp;nbsp;when things get really bad (maybe, maybe not; if not, feel free to look at me really really weird right now. i won't feel no kinda way about it)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know i'll make it out of this slump, most likely when i finish writing this. i just really needed to vent. i'm hurt right now. i feel like i disappointed my parents to a unforgivable degree. worst part is i didn't even do it. i'm going thru all this hurt because some dickhead at a courthouse mixed up my piss cup with someone elses. no one wants to hear that tho. idk. i guess harvey dent said it best, "the night is darkest before the dawn." maybe i put too much worth into quotes from batman movies..... maybe its just a good comforting thing to say.... or maybe its the truth, and around the corner i have some serious blessings coming my way. who knows. all i know is i have a lot to prove to a lot of people before i can start feeling like the old me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm my own worst enemy and i have to retaliate to the abuse i've been giving me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the best revenge is my success &amp;amp; i have a serious vendetta to fulfill.&lt;br /&gt;-C!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: to my girl Lauraisha, i love you. you always by my side no matter what. i'll give you the world once i own it. to my best friend Matthew, i love you too. blood couldn't make us any more of the brothers we already are. to my&amp;nbsp;immediate&amp;nbsp;family; Chris, don't be like your big brother. be better than me in every way you can &amp;amp; keep making mom &amp;amp; dad proud.

when is enough, enough? what ever happened to let the punishment fit the crime? i feel like i messed up, and &amp;nbsp;i deserve some&amp;nbsp;rebuttal&amp;nbsp;to my actions, but when its clear that i've learned from my mistakes, shouldn't there be some ease? why does she feel the need to press issues and make them that much worse? i can't deal.&lt;br /&gt;i know its time for me to go. i'm preparing for a departure from the nest. but my situation is so complicated its so hard for me to make that move, and life here with her just isn't getting any better.&lt;br /&gt;i can't do &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;anything&lt;/span&gt;

breaking &amp;amp; mending &amp;amp; realizing different relationships with different people, to financial woes, to jail, to bail, to my temporary position with the family business, to the professional job hunt, to rebuilding myself and finally growing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#34 - my legal issues are still not over. court date thursday. pray for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#864 - i can't wait for a fresh clean start academically this fall. i had so much stress on my head i feel way out of touch with things and i was broken mentally &amp;amp; emotionally for a long while. that obviously affected my studies and spilled into every other avenue of my life. i just need to take a break from everything, a small vacation to breathe and come back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#8 - i feel like my creativity is being geared to music way harder than it has ever lately. i'm making some good connections and guys ..... i honestly feel like i just might be the next big thing. watch me please. i know its a long time coming but i'm telling you stay tuned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#13 - i want that new macbook. you know the black one. that shit is tough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5,685 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is fucking sick!!!! xbox 360 a gwan MAD!!! everyting boom bang CONNECT!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#23 - the artful image concept is currently closed to the public still. building a company from the ground up is not easy &amp;amp;

cartoons in particular were banned b/c the message that was to be subliminal, didn't quite come off as discreet as required.&lt;br /&gt;i now without further due, present to you, straight from the

it frightens me. most change is born out of fear but thats neither here nor there... i have a few more purchases to make before i enter a whole new style into my wardrobe. my main target? these bad

his chick playing&lt;br /&gt;Gears of War on XBOX Live (the internet program on the system&lt;br /&gt;for those that don't know) got on and started calling us niggers.&lt;br /&gt;chris shurgged and continued to play unscathed, but i was more&lt;br /&gt;than furious. as the game continued they gradually kept calling us&lt;br /&gt;niggers and saying way more derrogatory commentary towards&lt;br /&gt;black people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he started catching on and constantly asking me, "carlos why are they&lt;br /&gt;beasting? thats not hot".... obviously i made him turn off the xbox live&lt;br /&gt;and play regularly, as the only answer i had for baby bro was,&lt;br /&gt;"their just ignorant spineless snakes in the grass chris, these people&lt;br /&gt;are gonna be wack to us cuz they're far away now - then go chill with&lt;br /&gt;their black friends at school or work".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not exactly the experience he was looking forward&lt;br /&gt;too and it hurt that i couldn't protect my brother from that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-C!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: its not every single day that you experience blatant racism, but when it happens its just a reminder that ignorance of that degree is still very prevalent in today's society. i could go on &amp;amp;

probably.....but did you ever have to go to jail for it? i stepped so far out of my zone that i had to pay the ultimate price.....well maybe not the ultimate price b/c i'm still alive but jail is just as good as being dead if your in that bitch too long. i just spent a  weekend being transported from cell to cell in central bookings, to being transported to rikers island itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had more than enough time to dwell on what got me there, and ample time to pray that i get out and never go back again. the fucking bullpen. as horrible as it was, i must honestly say, if you make the best of your time there it can be equally therapeutic.in that wack ass cell i slept on floors and benches with the worst of the worst. shooters, bums, drug fiends, roaches, pimps, dealers, piss, shit &amp;amp; vomit. in that time all i could imagine is the direction my life is turning in, and how i can deter from this path, back on to the one that everyone KNOWS i belong on; the straight and narrow one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;right now the worst thing that could possibly happen to a human being is happening to me. i'm waiting for someone else to dictate what THEY are going to do with MY life. my court date is thursday august 14th 2008. it is then and only then will i really know whats going to happen to me for the next few years. hopefully i don't ever have to go back to the bullpen; EVER, and the NEW plan that i have for MYSELF can roll into play. until then the only thing there is to do now is wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my very good friend justin bryan, was once an atheist and is not one anymore. he told me he believes God is time; the only thing that was always here for sure, and the only thing that will for sure remain....no matter what. if i were to take on his beliefs, or hold on to my own, either way i pray, that time/God is working in my favor and i will make the best of it that i possibly can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;never stray from what you HAVE planned for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;never let go of what you believe in.&lt;br /&gt;never put yourself in a situation that you haven't thought &amp;amp; planned out COMPLETELY.&lt;br /&gt;and i pray that you NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER go to prison. no one is built for it and no one should ever have to experience this form of therapeutic experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-C!&lt;br /&gt;oh &amp;amp; P.S: pray for me &amp;amp; don't ask me what i been in for.&lt;br /&gt;......deadass.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5943546305310857632-297073276492616759?l=artfulc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artfulc.blogspot.com/feeds/297073276492616759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5943546305310857632&amp;postID=297073276492616759' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943546305310857632/posts/default/297073276492616759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5943546305310857632/posts/default/297073276492616759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artfulc.blogspot.com/2008/08/bullpen-therapy.html' title='Bullpen Therapy'/><author><name>A.C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11803884837742563104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T24tf0PzcOY/SYc3lGk0lWI/AAAAAAAAAGA/woNwohSbAs8/S220/IMG_3755.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943546305310857632.post-2670106862143269540</id><published>2008-08-07T00:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-12T02:55:39.482-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='streetwear'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='real'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='graphic design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='model'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artful c'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='modeling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='metal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hip hop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>How ya doing?

BOOM! art....... an athletic lad at times, all you gotta do is catch the ball &amp;amp; run it &amp;amp; BOOM! score...... so why can't everything be that easy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've become known amongst many as an artist. i  would more than love to incorporate art  into every medium possible. so i got my lil space here on blogspot.com &amp;amp; my intentions on it were to indeed do just that; incorporate artistic worths from my photography, graphic images, words, &amp;amp; songs or whatever else i've been  inspired to make, then display it all here for you to see. but i've run into so much difficulty in conveying my messages that i stopped trying. my last blog post was may 26, 2007. i lost interest in blogging on may 26, 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i find it difficult to try to penetrate layers upon layers of frauds to bring forth whats real within me. the fight has been faught by many before me, won &amp;amp; lost by equal amounts. am i the spartan writer of 300 words who'll convince you all of my truths? or the persian scholastic bully who berates the masses with further perversions &amp;amp; falsehoods? who's to say? and will i find satisfaction in either of the two evils? i don't even know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so how's this for a comfortable inbetween.... i'll cook up your food for thought, if you think its poison don't eat, if you think its cake, indulge yourself, and i'll take my satisfaction in knowing i gave you all an option. simple as that. i'm a simple person. doesn't take much to please me or occupy my time. never did, never really will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artful C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;nods to Quintin Tarrantino.....now read it again.
