THE COUNT DOWN STARTS NOW

Boredom = Creativity

This what happens sometimes when I get bored and have a little time on hand, I make stuff, most of the time with no real purpose or intent other then the fact I enjoy making stuff...sooooo I made a quick short on denim since I am infatuated with the fabric. Enjoy.

MM x PhotoBooth x Randomness

This is what happens you have too much time on your hand and macbook photobooth...lol

Check out Twiggy mouth while she sitting on the couch, looks like straight "o's" lol

Got that new MAC! CHEA!

So as Octavius stated earlier, I got a new macbook on deck so now i can get back to grinding and back to doing what i do best. It's going to take me a minute to get everything transfered and back to where it was but immmmmm bacckkkkkkkkkk LIKE I NEVER LEFT lol, yall have to excuse me im just truly blessed and happy, and im going to end off this post with a track that always brings a smile to my face. And to everyone that gave me a hand when i was in between macs, i appreciate it.

HISTORY IS BLACK

AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH...THE MONTH WHERE WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO GIVE PROPS TO THE ONES WHO STOOD UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS BACK IN THE DAY. IT'S ALSO THE MONTH FOR BLACK PPL TO START COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW IT'S CRAZY FOR ONE ANOTHER TO GO HARD ABOUT THIS MONTH THAN ANY OTHER MONTH. TODAY ALONE I HEARD 5 PPL SAY EVERY MONTH IS BLACK HISTORY......SHUT UP!! DAMN!! YO A$$ WASN'T DOIN' SHIT LAST MONTH BUT WAITING ON THAT REFUND CHECK SO YOU CAN ACT BLACK....AT THE MALL BUYING ALL UNNECESSARY BULL$HIT. YOU WASN'T THINKING ABOUT MLK "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH. YOU WASN'T THINKING ABOUT FREDERICK DOUGLAS "NO STRUGGLE NO PROGRESS" POEM. YOU WASN'T THINKING ABOUT HARRIET TUBMAN AND THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. WITH ALL THAT SAID...WHY ARE YOU TALKING $HIT ABOUT THE ONES WHO ARE CELEBRATING IT? I MEAN..OF COURSE EVERY MONTH SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS BLACK HISTORY BUT WE WERE GIVEN A MONTH TO CELEBRATE IT SO BE HAPPY ABOUT SUMTHIN!.....

I give you.....CleverBot

So while i have been at home reviving myself from sickness, ive been rolling around on the internet checking everything from twitter to hypebeast to vside. While on the hypebeast forums i came across this interesting site called CleverBot. The site says the whole time you're talking to a computer but you would almost swear you're talking to a person......check out some of the conve me and cleverbot had below and try it out for yourself here at Cleverbot.com

Cleverbot: Tell me something exciting about you.

User: I jump off roofs.

Cleverbot: Was it fun?

User: Yes but it was kind of painful.

Cleverbot: We're moving on because you have stopped making sense. How is your day going?

User: Sense? I have 5 of them, my day is good.

Cleverbot: Money is ok but it can really blind people to what life is really about.

User: Yes dollar is burger.

Cleverbot: I like burger king's thing.

User: I like chicken tendercrisp.

Cleverbot: Everyone does. Even chickens like eating chicken.

User: I know cuz I eat them too.

Cleverbot: Nasty.

User: Yes I win.

Cleverbot: Good for you.

User: Haha you're not a computer.

Cleverbot: Stupid!

User: I know you are.

Cleverbot: And I know you are!!:D.

User: And I told you I am you and you are we.

Cleverbot: You are not! Your 50.

User: Ska ba che se BINGO!

Cleverbot: Can you ever be nice?

User: BURR.

Cleverbot: Aaron?

User: Gucci.

Cleverbot: Give me a hint.

User: Oleydoit.

Cleverbot: Ole ise.

User: Babashegi.

Cleverbot: I don't speak that language.

User: Unburr.

Cleverbot: I think so.

User: Me too.

Cleverbot: Yes.

Visual Influence: Recycle and Reuse

I dont wacth much tv these days cause I'm usually on my laptop working on designs and stuff, but when I do watch, its usually this...

By now you're probably like "what the heck does law and order have anything to do with anything visually influencing??"...you're right it has nothing really lol but i just felt like giving a back story #shrug. Anywhoo while watching this show the commercials were playing and this commercial below for the tv show "Psych"


at first i was going to just post the video cause i thought it was funny and it had that old 1980's feel and i thought to myself this must be a spoof to an older song. So i did some digging and little did i know that this is actually just a recreation of a original song by "Hall and Oates" called "Private Eyes." Watch the vid and you'll see the videos are pretty much identitical in execution, ive always been a fan of the process of how things are made and what influences their creation...so with that i give you Private Eyes... POW POW! lol

i fux with @DRAGONFLYJONEZ

Today started out pretty weak. 1st I found out I didn't do as well on my last test, which resulted

in me having to take the final for the class to get a B. 2nd I had to wait 45 mins in the advising office to get registered for classes next semester and 3rd I got stuck with one of the wackest advisors known to man...

LUCKY FOR ME TWITTER WAS INVENTED!!! AND I follow @DRAGONFLYJONEZ. By now you all should be on Twitter...and if you are...you should be following this guy. This is his third feature on made monarchs so it should tell you something about this guy. THIS WAS HIS RESPONSE ABOUT HER ABOVE........

DragonflyJonez
@Mademonarch_O She looks like Cliff's neighbor from the Cosby Show ---> FUCKING PERFECTION! This was tweeted 5 mins after I posted the pic. THAT MEANS HE KNEW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS TALKIN ABOUT!

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT @DRAGONFLYJONEZ MADE MY DAY......
