Sidekick “Gekko” & “Aspen”

Take this for what its worth but the people over at TmoNews are reporting that two new versions of the Sidekick will launch in the month of July. I tend to agree with the critics who say these will either be the 3G versions of the Sidekicks and or the Limited Edition runs of the LX and the Slide.

Hiptop 3 reported:

This is definitely one to take with a grain of salt, and there’s not really a whole lot of meat to salt! Tmonews is reporting that there are is a new device (possibly two) on the way in July. They say there’s evidence (but not what the evidence is) of a device named “SK Gekko” due on July 27th and a “Sidekick Aspen” launching on July 30th. Like everyone, we’ll have our eye on the FCC site to see what sort of info we can find on these devices if they are in fact real. Could this be the 3G Sidekick we’re all waiting for or maybe just limited edition devices? We’re putting our money on some new limited edition devices since the LX hasn’t had any Limited Editions yet and it would be silly not to offer those since they sell like crazy.

We are sure that Danger/T-mobile will be releasing a new version of the Sidekick Slide which will sport a new red colorway. Pictures of the new device leaked to the internet about a week ago. Personally I would love to see a combination of both rumors and grab a Sidekick with 3g and have it be a limited edition release. I hope they can do better than Mr. Cartoon and Juicy Couture. Only time will tell.

My Disavowal

This is a rant, if you don’t want to know then don’t bother reading. I am tired, sore, and fed up. I think back and remember things I proclaimed as my truths. Things I set my heart on, things I deemed as my beliefs. I once said I would die for the things I believe. Yet here I am years later and if I am honest with myself I should have died long ago if I stuck to my convictions. I bend, I overlook, I allow that which makes my blood boil to infect my life. This is my disavowal, my proclamation to myself to no longer associate with the poison surrounding me.

I reject those who make a fortune off of my hard work while I am left to fend for myself. I have a standard to keep, both personal and professional. I do not create crap and I’m sorry you do. I no longer accept people taking from me, using me, lining their pockets with my hours and hours of frustration and creativity, leaving me with nothing so much as a thank you. No longer will I “give away” my life’s work for free to those who only exploit it.

I reject those who take and steal from me in all aspects; emotionally, mentally, physically, and creatively. I don’t need leeches sucking the blood from my body. I hardly have enough blood pumping in my veins to sustain as is. I am not your boyfriend, I am not your buddy, I am not your friend, I am not your pal. I don’t need you to exploit me, my good nature, or my heart that rests firmly on my sleeve. I apreciate that you apreciate me, I am honored but there is a line, there is an etiquette, and there is an amount of respect that needs to be upheld. I am not a civil service job, you don’t come and go as you please. If you are my friend then be a fucking friend. If you aren’t… get lost. Don’t show up with your hand out and expect anything from me. Take, take, take. Try giving.

I reject those who do not apreciate me, more so those who front like they do. I am not a fucking country club that is open to you when you are in the mood. I don’t fix things when they go wrong for you to make the same mistakes again. Learn or fail, there is no other option. I am a human being with feelings, as much as I may not show them my heart beats just like yours. Cut my skin and I will bleed. Also, I am not a brothel, I’m not here to help you get laid. I don’t care who did what and I care less about why it happened. Finally, I do not belong to you. I don’t need to report to you where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing, and why. Don’t ask in any soft of negative way. You don’t own me.

I reject the jackals. I will not give my heart to a girl who does not know how to keep it. I am not a child anymore and I refuse to love a child. I don’t need my heart stepped on, I don’t need to be lied to. I am not here to buy you shit, I am not here to compete with your current boyfriend who sucks. If you want me, leave him, and I don’t mean cheat on him with me. I’m not going to convince you, if you feel it then get into it, otherwise stay with your boyfriend and have a good ‘ol time. I am not going to buy your love. So no matter what you heard I was about in the past keep your application because I’m not into people like you. I am done chasing. I’ve dated the best and the worst, you ain’t shit. Get over yourself. No hussies either, thanks.

I reject those who do not respect themselves. What is wrong with you? Why do you continue to sink into shit? Are you so unhappy? Are you so insecure? What happened to you? Another boyfriend, another girlfriend, another waste of time. Addicted to a monotonous lifestyle. Why can’t you hold out for something special. Try reaching for the stars. Nope, right off the rip, dick out, or legs spread, trying to find that prime you once lived. It’s gone. And with every new venture you lose sight of yourself, who you are and who you were. Why can’t you have some respect for yourself and stand for something. I reject watching you fall for everything. I reject knowing you have disgraced your name. I’d rather live alone forever than live one day as you. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

Signed sincerely,

Torn USB thumb drive (Life Hacks return!)

plop.JPG

Making its return to Slackerstyle.com comes the very rare yet very popular life hack! In our re-debut I present probably one of the coolest hacks I’ve had a chance to present. Everyone has those cool little USB thumb drives, some made from a lego, some made from a piece of wood, even one made out of an altoid box. All of those are very cool little mods but this one takes the cake.

The people over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories came up with a torn USB cable that is really a fully functioning USB memory stick. They are nice enough to provide step by step instructions so you can create your very own. It takes some skill, some patience, and some money but I promise when you are on campus or at work people will really be like “what the fuck!” when they see you bust out a torn/cut up USB cable to save your files to.

Have some fun and click here to head over to the life hack page. If you make one and you are a reader here, please send pics!

Mellow Yellow

dunk_lo_blk_neut_mze.jpgI just had to come on and post a picture of the new Nike joints I picked up. They arrive later this week and I’m psyched on that. Dunk Low “Thought Bubbles”. The insole has some people walking around with thought bubbles coming off their heads. I guess beyond that I’m into these cause I don’t have a lot of yellow in my shoe collection. Come to think of it I don’t have any yellow joints.

Anyway, catch me rockin these soon enough. Now I gotta find a jacket or a hat to match… what a far cry from how I used to leave the house… same ass shorts, gross ass shirt that was too big, and some whack sneakers that I wore everyday. Fuckouttahere.

Arrived On Scene

A few updates I guess as there isn’t really much to post about. I mean really we are only on the Internet… not much goes on around here anymore. I made a nice cute little banner for the wonderful people over at Dinoballs. You may have heard me talk about them? I tend to e-stalk the guys over there like they are a new hip boy band and I am a 12 year old girl. If you want to check it out head over there and just stare at the top.

My Brother once again has entered the blogosphere with his new website Arrived On Scene or http://www.arrivedonscene.com for all you people who speak url. Of course I helped him with the new design, I mean what are brothers for? In any event go check it out because he’s my brother… and of course because his witty posts about day to day things will actually educate you… even spark a thought in that fried brain.

Elsewhere… well I guess you will just have to wait until I post about a new video game coming soon… oh and a fun little review of Grand Theft Auto IV. Stay tuned.
