BRANDING A CHILD (SETTING UP SHOP FOR LATER IN LIFE)

So it continues on, I was 13, growing up and understanding that I must be a slave to a image. I went to see my father in Orlando, and tried to live down there quite a few times, I did much more than fit in, I was the status quo. I would be a slow-motion cool kid (even though I was a fat ugly little kid) but to have the sneakers that only drug dealers would have on and afford, I was raised in the "inner city" at this point in my life, had extreme abandonment issues with both of my parents mom ( new husband, she worshiped him, he tortured me, and he could never do any wrong in her eyes) and dad (abandoned me for 4 years until I was 12, and then I replaced all the things I hated with him, and replaced them with products, like super nintendo, air jordans, etc.)

I would be in a Minneapolis city school system, having Air Jordan VI (2 X pairs) and the Nike David Robinson pumps, the real name was the Nike Air Command Force 180, I believe which were $175 ( in 1991, that would be more than $250 today) It was very different it was then, I was just a child, 13, I had been moved 5 places in 2 years and 3 months, (27 Months, 5 different schools, and so many peers to adjust to) and I always was accepted, a fat, ugly, insecure, bitter child, I started my ego on warp drive right away, I became a shit talker, a argumentative to teachers and elders, disruptive, and disrespectful as I could possibly be. The perfect ADHD child that I was, or could become, I could be was coming to fruition.`

A meme is not just a stupid viral video, smart ass tight jean wearing insecure asshole Brainy Smurf types are the ones who play this phenomenon off as a cultural joke, but the joke is on us, not just the Brainy Smurf people either, each and every single one of us.

A meme is something universal, could possibly go back to antiquity, nobody can define it exactly. Memes are more than a word virus, or a pop-culture trendy gadget sentence, these are under-tones and over-tones to the cycle of life. We will see so many trends and cultures that are continuations of religion, or something far deeper and more important in my eye, the stars above, and the rotating house that we are under at that time, that is the real secret that I can see anyways, will add more later...

SUBCULTURE VULTURES...

In dealing with subcultures, there can be many associations or affiliations to the subculture, I will be using various different subcultures that I have experience in to explain how a subculture is created, and how mind control is essentially the exact same thing, and extracts the exact same method. Fear not friends, I am able to admit many of my shortcomings and addictions to use by example, so know that I may be healing and or learning at the same time as I present these ideas and ideals...

I am a hypocrite.

I have unhealthy addictions that are so bad and selfish, but I will admit them for the betterment of all and everybody. My obsessions come straight out of my youth, growing up poor, seeing specific items that I thought were the "Status Quo" and I was always tormented as a young boy around (ages 11-13) This was all a big part of advertising campaigns set upon the popculture by the marketing agencies and corporations that have high knowledge of when to make specific products available and ready to purchase. There is much more hidden knowledge that drives these industries besides focus groups and demographics, zodiacs, planet worship, and many subversive subliminal techniques are applied to make the public hungry for these products. When I was young, I was in 5th grade, in a urban Minneapolis school on the South side, and I was obsessed with getting better shoes than Payless brand "Pro-Wings" I needed the Air Jordans, that year the Air Jordan IV, I never got that shoe, all of my friends and peers had that shoe, in all the different colors released. My mom did the worst job in such a shitty way, getting me some cheap no "air bubble" Nike Bo Jackson Trainer knockoffs on clearance from Marshalls, and to make everything worse, she did it in front of my friend Rashad, whom embarrassed me by telling everybody about it.

I had a defining moment in my strange youth-to-teens with my dad out of the picture, (he abandoned me at 8 and left overseas) popped up, and asked me what I wanted through the phone when my uncle was physically with me in Minnesota, my dad was in Orlando, I immediately said "Air Jordans!!!"

So in 7th grade, I finally found the respect of my peers by wearing a $130 pair of indoor basketball shoes, to a fat, lazy 12 year old, I witnessed Jordan winning his 1st ring with the Bulls that 90-91 season. I was the first kid in my whole school to have the Nike Air Jordan VI. That is insecurity flooding an adult obsession. I was an outsider, I am a minority, I skateboarded, good enough to get a crappy sponsorship, so I tried out for a skate shoe company named Savier (Owned by Nike) and I had a chance to get interned, and I rose the ranks FAST!!!!

So, I really will update later, it is 2am, fuck it...

KNOW WHAT I MEME PODCAST, AND UPDATES...

I am working over the final aspects to get the podcast ready, I have also planned to launch the blog on a high mainstream level, I will be covering so many different aspects of popculture, genre, to sub-genre, subculure, and what archetypes that connect them, I see that I have a very extremely effective persona, so I will use it to break down the multi-cultural aspects that are all intertwined and involved, no matter how strange or fringe it may seem...

I will be updating the blog daily, or every other day, whatever memes that are effecting the mass populous the most, will be what is going to be broken down through a very intelligent lens, no topic is taboo, I will go after the most mundane and irrelevent as it may seem I feel it is due to have a very well spoken, well read individual that has knowledge of self, and can translate the "Black/Urban" lifestyle, subculture, and most important to me, the effects of the origins of much of these memes that have been programmed into the society that ALL of us live in, all truth to that. so I am readying my stream to go with synchronicity, strange coincidence, memes, the strange and macabre things that are involved into all of this. So I almost ready, and when it pops off, motherfuckers will recognize..

KNOW WHAT I MEME (the podcast)

WILL BE DELIVERED AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...
