Barber shops down here I wouldn't go to if my life depended on it. I swear some barbers down here act like cutting hair is a chore when they SIGNED up for it. I usually hit up the one in the mall since its get in and get out.



I miss my old barber. The only dude in this area that knows what a dark fade looks like and not try to make me look like I'm apart of the hustle gang :/.

It looks like it as an outsider. Keep in mind, I'm an outsider so I'll ask the New Yorkers speak on their city as that's a violation on my part.

Living in New York would piss me off, personally. The rent is high AND I have to worry about cops profiling me everywhere. You try to land a great job at a firm and get stopped and frisked by cops in front of the HR exec you're trying to impress. You don't land the job and have to go home dealing with the ramifications of that emotionally. I'd go apeshit so salute to the NYers.

Church's is best economical fast food chicken shop IMHO. That UK Sam's business reminds me of this restaurant I saw in beijing that served what appeared to be fast food noodles. No shots at London so lemme alone, por favor.

How are the Nigga Privileges in London? Do y'all have a black card or is it the standard VISA shit some of the fellow members of the diaspora have?

NiggaPrivileges (Which should be trademarked include):

Involuntary police escorts around town.
Requests for drugs from everyone.
Expectations of sexual performance.
Expectations of sexual appetite.
Suspicion of criminal activity 24 hours a day seven days a week no matter where we are and what we are doing.

I'm leaving a few out but this is a starter kit. This is the basic plan that comes with all cards.

London is a cool place. Of course, it has what we call Housing "Estates" which are tall "flats" towers of housing grouped together in select areas. North London hates the South. South London hates the North. East London hates everyone.

But although the Black people make up only around 3% of the United Kingdom, almost a good majority of that 3% are in London. There are so many cultures and different races in London. When it comes to racism its more directed towards the Muslims than towards Black people these past few years. I feel Black people are tolerated a lot more now because we've "been around" for a few decades. The Muslims are "new" to the establishment and the 7/7 Bombings really started the hate towards them.

White women in London love Black men. The presumed association with being cool and sports gets the ladies hot.

What is interesting is the new London dialect. Multiculural London Slang. It only came about in the late 90's. Its a mixture of old London Cockney, Jamaican patois & African English and is spoken by almost all of the Urban youths in the City regardless of race. White boys sound like Black boys and vice versa. Females too. It's the "accepted way to speak" amongst the young.

Me? I've got an old school Cockney accent, due to my age and growing up amongst white people.

I really hope leakers chill from now on, they're the single reason this great conference seemed underwhelming. That and the CG trailers.

Nah, fuck all of that. This conference seemed underwhelming, due to it being somewhat underwhelming. Leakers have nothing to do with damn near all of the good shit, seemingly being in 2015. That and all of the CG trailers. Had I gone totally blind, I still wouldn't have cared about a lot of the stuff shown.

Platinum might have just got me to get an Xbox Uno. That dude turns into a demon, by wearing his Beats headphones, and had a pet Dragon.

Esco making Ass Creed look fun with Co-op.

I actually enjoyed the Microsoft conference for once. Couple of bombs drop and they kept the dance central stuff extremely brief.

That MS conference was boring as shit. Still haven't given me a reason to buy an Xbox One this year. Phantom Dust probably won't be coming until late 2015. Sunset Overdrive looked boring as THEE fuck.

Halo collection was mildly surprising; but other than that...meh. Felt like a Sony conference minus spreadsheets and graphs...but they made sure to get the CG by the truckload.

Crazy talk.

That said... ain't enough "meh's" in the world to accurately capture how indifferent I am to their entire conference. Literally everything was CG. No megatons, and every game they shown, we've already known about for months. And, absolutely no release dates on any of them...

Also, what is it with Microsoft and their valuing of 3rd party DLC over first-party content?

Sunset Overdrive looks like shit. No strategy just mindless shooting. So far nothing from the enemies as shown me it will be challenging.

Besides yelling at me that they aren't a military shooter, I still don't know what SO is about, is there really no structure beyond killing mindless infected with crazy weapons? All I've heard about so far is horde like missions.

Nah. I can agree the E3 conference was safe, but Sunset Overdrive is the only thing super glued to my radar.

Halo collection, Scalebound, Phantom Dust and that, and I'm gonna have to get that $400 model

My problem with SO has just been that they mention Tony Hawk, but it looks so much slower than Tony Hawk. I think they should have gone for much faster grinds with a Panzer Dragoon style lockon system.
