Weekly Poem - Just A Comedy

I walk forward on the path of my dreams,
Confused if my direction is obscure.
Can my way be found before the coming,
Of the heavt rain or will my life fall,
When the blood skies and the day are both nigh.
Does the moon not reflect the fairness of,
My marble skin, harden by the terrors
Of my mind. Does God overlook my heart?
Am I not a Spartanby bravery?
Shall my glory come soon after my wake?
I question, is my life just a comdey?

The ComeUp vol. 4: That FADED Kid

"...clothes don't make a man."

AGW: For everyone who isn't following you on Twitter or doesn't know you, who are you?

Alex: I'm just a kid that does me and trying to do something that I love. I'm 18, live in the burbs and love kicks (sneakers). I'm someone that believes that everything happens for a reason and if you wish you were someone else it's a waiste of your own life.

AGW: Tell me about your line?

Alex: We produce Tees, for now. Our goal is to produce our own stuff but, we're not trying to be a fashion label. More of a sneaker/skate boutique.

AGW: F.A.D.E.D.?

Alex: It stands for Fresh All Day Every Day. It's not about the ne wkicks or jeans you got on but, a person being comfortable in just doing him or her...clothes don't make a man.

AGW: What are some of F.A.D.E.D.'s goal(s)?

Alex: Just to get our name out there more, do somecollabs with other blogs and designers, and starting a skating team.

AGW: Ok, more focus on you, what's a summary of your style?

Alex: Um... I'd say laid back, I guess. I'm a fan of skinny jeans. I like to wear streat wear but, at the end of the day as long as my sneakers are clean and I have a hat on , I'm good.

AGW: What inspires you?

Alex: The support of my family, of course. The responses that are given to the F.A.D.E.D., we ae recieving a lot of support. Also my big cousin Rolan, he's one of my hero. I want to be just like him but, make my own lane.

AGW: Besides being the front man for F.A.D.E.D., what are your other hobbies?

Alex: Well I'd say just taking it easy. If I'm not blogging or at work, it's just about being with friends. I read and I'm trying to get back into skateboarding but, I think I'll be better at sponsoring people. I'm always looking for the next show release that!

AGW: What are some ups about being a "Come Up" fashion designer?

Alex: When people by our tees, it give me a great feeling. Without support of the people a person can't be successful.

AGW: Downs?

Alex: I always feel like I've could have change something to make it better and if I'm working on projects and I miss a lot of blog updates, I feel as if the F.A.D.E.D. blogs falling behind other blogs.

AGW: Who are your favorite designers?

Alex: Nino of Fli Pelican, Nigo of Bape, and creators of 10 DEEP, to name a few.

AGW: What are your favorite clothing lines?

Alex: Clothing...I'd say F.A.D.E.D. of course, Burn Rubber, 10 DEEP, Fli Pelican, Crooks, Taylor Gang, and NDK Klothing, just to name a few. There are too many to name! (lol) but, as long as I like it I'll rock it.

AGW: What's "in" right now?

Alex: I can't really say because no two people have the exact same style, I just know what I like. So, Just doing you is in right now and always will be.

AGW: Any Shotouts?

Alex: Respect This Fresh, Fly Soelz, T Deezy Beats, Sixth Cents and MAD LOVE to everyone who supports F.A.D.E.D.

Weekly Poem - The Comedy of Men: Lust

My heat wanders the shadows in the sky,
In search of a fire to sustain warmth.
The sun beckons that I give into him
I refuse, thy bold morals prevent me
But, meets on the east for every rise.
I batter my weak body, soul and heart
For the thirst of solace in a hunger,
Detouring my true necessity, love.
To make fun at the comedy of men,
Is to be a little boy again.

-AGW
