I rarely get to spend time with them because we bought a home  in Hampton, GA and they move down last year September of 2009 after my second daughter was born. So that’s why I’m always heading to Georgia for the holidays. I’m still running SKILLA from NY (which is based in Georgia) and working full time but I hope to move down for good soon. We had our daughter christened (blessed) at our church in Mt. Vernon, NY on Sunday 1/17/2010, then  hanged out with family and friends after, which was awesome.

And the Saturday before that, my bro, my good friend Adrian (one SKILLA models) & I went to Pelham, NY community Christmas tree lighting. Even though we missed the tree light caught some part of it.

It’s been a week or so since my last blog post, been pretty busy. For those that have been following the Brand on twitter and facebook heard me talk the current endorsement I have been working on with one of the top groups from ABDC (America’s  Best Dance Crew) and if you haven’t, now you know. I’m pretty excited, it’s a big deal for the brand and all the fans that support SKILLA.

So to kickoff this adventure, there will be a contest on who can be the first two to guess which dance crew from the past seasons will be endorsing SKILLA. The contest ends on Tuesday 7/21/09 11:59 pm……lol.

1st Place Prize: The new t-shirt (will be released this week).

2nd Place Price: One of our awesome belts.

Your guess has to be posted on the site’s comment section below. Have fun!
