Hot and Cold

I got the first five hot things entry of the year. Im excited for the first quarter of the year because I a have a few big things lined up and I just heard about a pretty generous scholarship that I was nominated for, so Im keeping my fingers crossed and saying a little prayer for that to come through. So, onto las cosas....

-Gadget-
Sony Dash, its a touch screen multipurpose internet viewer/ minicomputer/music player/ alarm clock/ pure sexy piece of tech lol. I've been looking around for something like it and its due out pretty soon. I will be grabbing this as soon as its on the market.

-Book-
I think I've found the way to solve my whole lack of outside reading problem. I'm gonna read short story collections, That way I can quench my need for completing an entire literary thought, while not getting pulled into "wasting time" and spending too much time doing other stuff. I think Im going to borrow David Sedaris' Dress your Family in Corduroy and Denim. Dude seems pretty funny.

- Music-
there is so much good music coming out in January alone that I kinda forgot to look back at old stuff this week. I did however open this Coltrane, Johnny Hartman CD that i got for christmas... That ish is smooth man. Its short, only 6 songs, but those six songs are great, Lush Life especially is just plain dope.


-Shoes-
I think I've settled on the wing tips I want. They are by Allen Edmonds. They are the perfect shade of brown and the perfect shoe. They can be worn to the office, to church and out and about.... I think Im in love

-Grooming-
For the grooming category, I have two posts one is a trend Im into and the other a product [so i technically have 6 hot things, but whos counting? lol]. First, I have to admit that I have joined the fold... Im going beardy for the winter season. NOT  like rick ross though, more so in a 20 something, why the hell not manner. I'm not quite sure how long i wanna go, but  I've decided to let my inner dude out and let the facial hair fill in.

The second hot grooming find found this great pomade the other day by every man jack. Its got a good hold and nice shine to it. I like the old faithful pomade in the orange tin but its too heavy, especially if you are looking to style and not just get waves. Since I'm keeping my hair at a longer length I need something to give it a little umph and this junk does the trick.

that is all for now
