I have been hooked on to foursquare a lot lately. Recently, I finally earned the Super Major badge which is quite difficult to get because you have to hold mayorship in many locations. Not only does it helps me tell people on Twitter where I am, (Which some might not care) but it’s good to spark conversations about restaurants, cafes, and studying spots. We went to the foursquare tweet up on April 16, but unfortunately we didn’t get the “Swam” badge, which is awarded to those that check in to a place with 49 other people logged in to. Due to the fact foursquare is still rather new to Vancouver, I guess it’ll take awhile until I earn my “Swam” badge but this social networking platform is definitely growing. I am officially hooked on getting badges, it’s like collecting Pokemon badges all over again. Even though I know for a fact that badges don’t mean shit, it’s still fun and hopefully companies like Starbucks or Blenz can give me free drinks for checking in. After all, I am the Mayor of a bank, two malls, and a few coffee shops.

Time management for school and work for me has always been good for me, but this upcoming week will be quite challenging. As the issue is slotted for release in a few days, I also have a few assignments due on the same time. The term “Hell Week” to my own personal knowledge was a nickname for intensive training phrases, and beholds a high level of difficulty. I never knew that this term along with “Dead Week”, is used comonnly in the United States as a term to describe the examination period in universities. It was also amusing to find out some traditions that various universities behold. At Yale, kids run around naked in the library and in Stanford, they developed a “primal scream” tradition in which students open their window at and scream as loudly as they can in midnight. Thanks to Wikipedia, everything seems to always have an interesting story. Anyhow, let’s all embrace this hell week together and hopefully all goes well as I officially finish off my third year as a undergrad and release Issue 14 of justalilhype! Side note, I am not complaining. I love challenging myself with weeks like this, bring it. For those who want to even try to criticize my work ethic, they can go fuck themselves because I know I work harder than all of ‘em.

Lil Wayne and his whole behind the bars deal is used as a big marketing plan. From the day he was arrested, to final interviews, to skepticism about his record label and how it could potentially affect Drake’s upcoming debut album has created lot’s of buzz around the hip hop industry. Recently, I’ve found out that he had just released a blog behind the bars. There’s also “Free Weezy” fan t-shirts on sale! Furthermore, he is allowed to continue his ESPN sports blog where he is able to continue to watch and comment on sports. I don’t know… but the whole thing seems too much like a gimmick to me. It’s also smart how before he was arrested, he went all-out to record drops and collaborations on a bunch of songs so it was precisely planned that within the time he is in jail, there will be constant new tracks with Weezy. Despite all this drama, he’s still dope. Hit the jump for a peak at the shirt, I think I am going to get it for jokes. What are your views on the whole Weezy in jail deal?

Here’s my Top 3 Lil Wayne Drops:
