Power,money & Royalty are the only goals to be sought

Senal & Ariaan's Fav. Gang/Mafia Movies :)

Seriously nothing better than films based on the themes of money,power, honor,betrayal,revenge,etc. Here's a list and a short review of our favorite gang/mafia/mob movies. 



Green Street Hooligans


A wrongfully expelled Harvard undergrad moves to London, where he is introduced to the violent underworld of football hooliganism.








Scarface


An update of the 1932 film, Scarface (1983) follows gangster Tony Montana and his close friend Manny Ray from their trip on the Cuban Boat Lift for refugees to their arrival in Miami. After killing a powerful Cuban figure, Montana and company gain the ability to leave their refugee camps and roam around the U.S. After unsuccessfully trying to make it legitamately in the country, Montana and Ray resort to selling cocaine to dealers around the world. Tony's rise is quick, but as he becomes more powerful, his enemies and his own paranoia begin to plague his empire.




Crows Zero (1&2)

The movie tells the untold story behind the characters in Suzuran, a violent high school.








Drop



The film follows Hiroshi, a junior-high school student who transfers from a decent school, to a school with a large number of yankees (basically badly behaved kids in gangs) in order to become a yankee himself. The story then follows his progression within the gang he joins, and the fights that ensue with rival gangs







Goodfellas


The story of Irish-Italian American, Henry Hill, and how he lives day-to-day life as a member of the Mafia. Based on a true story, the plot revolves around Henry and his two unstable friends Jimmy and Tommy as they gradually climb the ladder from petty crime to violent murders.







The Godfather Trilogy


The story begins as "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia "family", oversees his daughter's wedding. His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family.

Darth Vader Black

you've gotta be fly. we do our level best to stay fresh to death, cause you never know when someones gonna snap your picture, or when you'll bump into Ms.Right (at least Ms. Right-now), or when Anna Wintour is gonna want you for the cover of her magazine (she runs Vogue. just FYI), or when they'll be a massive world wide zombie attack and the only ppl they won't eat are the ones who exhibit a high level of, how'd you say?, Fresh-to-death-ness?
(ignore the fact that my examples are becomin less and less likely. I got hit in the head at bball today and i'm not myself). The point i'm trying to get to, Darth Vader Black is a colour that will always make you look BAD (in a GOOD way), can't go wrong when you're rocking all black everythin, black watch black shades all black everything  (sorry, couldn't resist quoting Jay-Z, HOVA). Darth Vader Black, one of our favourite things:). May the force be with you.
Ariaan Addition- Favourite Darth Vader quotes- "I find your lack of faith.... disturbing" "Use your hate, fuel it" "No Luke, I am your Father".

SO... abs...

The other day, i was at the pool (shades, flip-flops, no shirt, tanning. Swimming just isn't.... my thing), and this Brazilian Super Model walks up to me and she's like "Wow! you're in great shape, i'd love to have you in my next photo shoot". Ok that didn't happen. BUT, one time i was surfing the aisle at the grocery store,  debating whether i should get the pink tic-tacs or the orange ones (that's the question that keeps me up most nights) and , out of no-where, this Brazilian Super Model walks up to me and says "Wow! you seem really toned, make a muscle". Ayt, that didn't happen either. BUT i do love to workout, and right now the exercise that i'm really enjoying , and has pretty good results, are plyometric workouts (shout out to the salad man). They boost your leg power (so you get to fly like LeBron, and if you don't know who LeBron is you really shouldn't be reading this. No really. Leave now), they remove body fat so you get to flash the abs, and they cut stress (Endorphin rush anyone?). So if you wanna get your SITUATION on, or just wanna boost your athleticism, do a couple of plyometric workouts a week. Definitely one of our favourite things. You might just get hit on by a Brazilian Super Model :P.

Underrated Album #1


Ok...maybe Travis barker is a bit overrated (he may no be the "world’s best drummer" when there is John Bonham,Yoshiki etc.) but his first solo record album “Give the drummer some” deserves way more credit then it gets.
Give the drummer some is def. our favourite album RIGHT NOW!!
Senal’s personal fav. track - If you want to,Just Chill & Knockin
Ariaan’s - Can a Drummer Get Some? , etc.
Plus the mohawk is badass, and he's gotta be the coolest dad ever:)
so go give the drummer some:P


BOSE. easily one of our favourite things. You've all been there: you've got that neighbour that decides they should play techno all night on a tuesday, you know that one lady that goes on and on bout how well her kid is doing in school (How many "best hand writing" awards can a 5year old candy addict with a slight obsession with running into walls possibly win?), and you've got that friend that decides he wants to play bass for a symphonic death metal band and wants to play his music for you (Aliyy Moiz, i'm talkin to you). The solution for all of these day to day predicaments? BOSE headphones. They block out the world beautifully. Really Really under-rated.  Couple of other good headphones out there, but for now the one that makes the list of Ariaan and Senals Favourite things are BOSE around ear headphones

CNN freedom project

Changing the tone for a bit. CNN freedom project, much respect.

Arun imitating Girls

Our blog has been online less than two hours an arun has already featured twice. This is wrong. very wrong. But he does a very good girl imitation, especially when he's in  a bad mood. No video footage yet. sorry. but we'll try and get some as soon as we can. But for now just know that his imitations are on our list of favourite things.

Watches

Two Favourite Watches,

Ariaan throws up:
I Love Orange. You know who you are:P

Lets get rid of the obvious

So we got this friend Arun, real nice guy (gonna tread carefully around him today, cause Steve Jobs didn't email him back and he's pretty sad). Arun is our very own tech guru, and he's madly in love with Melinda. Melinda is his iPhone 4. Although his obsession makes him an easy target for many of our really smart jokes, we gotta admit. Melinda...sorry meant to type... the iPhone 4 is definitely on our list of favourite things.
