Liberate your mind, spirit & soul!
Alright, so I'm here finally! Brit, Clint & Roy told my behind to blog awhile back, but haven't been as free as I would like to be. Sure I'm up and about somewhere of what-looks-like-a-vacation, but make no mistakes homies--BN2Society is ALWAYS on the grind for that next hustle, regardless personally or collectively; needless to say, vacation-swayshun, it always become business--networking, talking to people & making connects.
Anyways, Brit's last post is right--I was in Washington up on Mount St. Helen--the location of the historic volcano of 1980, which was the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles of railways, and 185 miles of highway were destroyed. The eruption caused a massive debris avalanche, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 feet to 8,365 feet and replacing it with a mile-wide horseshoe-shaped crater. The debris avalanche was up to 0.7 cubic miles in volume. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was created to preserve the volcano and allow for its aftermath to be scientifically studied. U.S. President Jimmy Carter surveyed the damage and said "Someone said this area looked like a moonscape. But the moon looks more like a golf course compared to what's up there."[31] A film crew, led by Seattle filmmaker Otto Seiber, was dropped by helicopter on St. Helens on May 23 to document the destruction. Their compasses, however, spun in circles and they quickly became lost. A second eruption occurred on May 25, but the crew survived and was rescued two days later by National Guard helicopter pilots. Their film, The Eruption of Mount St. Helens, later became a popular documentary.
I had to hit it up during my trip to Seattle to catch up with some homies--I'm a history fuh-reak! Anyways, but as for Seattle itself--all the times that I have refused to go for the past year--to finally go and discover a hidden gem. It started w/the descent past Mt. Ranier & Puget Sound [too bad I didn't have a camera on hand then].
Flew there to figure it out personally why they call Seattle , the 'Emeral City'! If you've never gone, then my strongest recommendation; especially if you're in need of relaxation & peace of mind....
Weather were Hi 60s daytime and Mid-Hi 50s nighttime. I couldn't ask for more beautiful days and reminscing nights....
[lunch on the West side along the lakefront]
[Thanks P for being the best host ever! He has been my mentor and confi-dAnt throughout my trials and errors with business.]
She runs, I run! hahah luvvit!
strolled w/hot tea on hand toward the pier...
i bought a slice of apple pie for the water taxi ride, but no where to put it...
hm.... [hahahaha]
the ride was......nice.....the breezes were.........nice........ =)
omg, their downtown is a smaller version of NY's South St. Seaport!!!
Yumm....saltwater taffy
NO!
Seattle's originals
hahha...
off to Pike's Market--as seen on the Foodnetwork, so i had to go!
then the camera died =/
then off to see BRASIL v. CANADA!!!!!! Futbol time homies!!! Front & center w/fam for QT time =)
The game was a blast! Half of us got on Canadian's jerseys & flag while the other half donned Brasil's---to show love & competition---so corny i know! hahaha but it was the shiet!
then the cam died again, so no pics of me in my Brasilian's attire =/ we won anyways!!!
many nights on the town, but no pics...memories imprinted eh P? =)
we HAD to drive to MOUNT ST. HELEN!
The drive up was.............................MIND BLOWING! The progression of drastic weather & sceneries was ridiculous....
it goes from tranquil luscious green....
[doesn't the clouds' reflection on the water make it look so ghostly?!?!?!]
looking out the windows...
notice more clouds & fog...
increasing elevation...mist, snow, ice & we were driving thru clouds!
hahaha...we both looked at each other w/the same expression "what the fcuk are we getting ourselves into?!?!? can we even drive back down?!?!?! WE'RE GONNA GET STUCK UP HERE HOMIE!!!!!"
you already know...
mang...P, i take cool pics of you! "taking the road less travelled"
they leave a lot of original remains of destroyed trees to show the strength of mother nature...crazy!
different color lighting shows the different stages & phases of the eruption...
see into the mist....5 miles ahead of the direction of my finger tip lies Mt St. Helen, but too cloudy of a day too see =/
but it was quite an experience to be there on such a day also...
ran up the higher observation tower to seek out what' else is there to see =)
@ approx....4300 ft elevation
a relaxing night out for grub & wine....man running into them was a HELLA surprise!
Mr. Amir--Seattle's most loved & notorious events/concerts promoter & coordinator--dude doesn't drink or hate on anyone, and always with a smile on his face =)
one last stop before we called it a night...
Hustled the airline TWICE to stay back another day to enjoy the weather =)
As for the title of this blog "Liberate your mind, spirit & soul"--it's what I've done for myself this past 2 years. It's an indescribable feeling from within. I have worries, but then none. I stress, but then not really. I think, but not too hard. I smile, because I have all reasons to. I realized all that I've achieved for my mind recently during a sit-down with a good friend, hearing him talk about the trials and tribulations within his life; at one point, I couldn't stop smiling at him, and reluctantly he questioned why. I simply told him, "I wish you could feel how I feel about life right now--just so that your mind can be at ease."
As soon as I could find some more time, I will post my 2 months trip back to the Vietnam where I flew in with only a small luggage, a map of the country, & a Lonely Planet guide. =)

Time Consumption
It is 2:54am currently in Los Angeles California and 4:54am Houston Time. I am with insomnia in LA while Mindy, who is off in Washington State... Most likely comtemplating which mountain to climb or river to swim or wherever the wind blows her way! The boys, probably sleeping in Houston. I am stuck in a hotel room high on coffee with about a few hours left until my next meeting.
This is probably one of the only chances ill get to update our neglected blog!
To start off, I want to thank Black Mamba who recently interviewed our BN2Society team for their new issue! Should be out in November I believe so don't forget to check out our interview! Also which reminds me we have to schedule a photoshoot as soon as we can get everyone on the same schedule and same city.
We have many plans ahead of us and many partnerships we're excited to work.Although each one of us have our own separate lives and schedules, we manage to pull through and understand that with sacrifice, there are rewards. I couldn't have asked for better people to work and go through this journey with. Without a doub I know that I could count on them.
Tonight I've decided to take a breather from my hectic schedule to relax and watch tv. Nevertheless, I could not get far awar from my Blackberry to check my emails, bbm, and the ten million other things I've added to consume just another percentage of my day.
Anyway, We have a couple of headliner events, one of which is mid June which I've decided not to leak information until we have entirely completed the project. Knowing me though, probably after another few confirmations. So stay tuned! Another exciting event is our Sneaker Summit event, brought to you by our very own, Clint aka Branwz! BN2Society will be doing none other than the PRE PARTY! One other event, which we are also not leaking!! Will definitely be one to change the our generation.
