These belong to a brand named Supremebeing.

I have a thing for red lips.
It's a total turn-on.
It's kind of a Snow White complex,
skin as white as snow and lips as [red] as [blood].
You got to admit, my friends are beautiful.

Dandyism [Leo]
dandy |ˈdandē|noun ( pl. -dies)1 a man unduly devoted to style, neatness, and fashion in dress and appearance.
Groomed by Nature
I have friends, family, and customers come by and tell me often that I have great hair.
I also have those crazy old ladies that come up to me and ask to touch my hair.
(I swear .. that's not a hickey)
I'm the youngest of four: two girls, then two boys.
I'm the baby.
My mother always tells me,
"Apollo, I would pray for a little boy with curly hair and after years, I finally got one."
Recently, I stayed the night at my brother, Ben's after a stellar night of living the dream.
A friend had also slept on the couch, and i lean over from the bed and she just looks at me and goes,
"Is that really what you look like in the morning?"
Assuming the worse, I get up and look in a mirror,
All is right with the world.
I luckily have stellar hair in the morning.
(morning hair)
I will had my secret product.
Yes, I know that this afro textured hair, but when you have curls like mine, it does wonders!
I mean, my friend Amber recently tweeted me in response to me telling how another person asked to touch my hair:
<@Apollo_Noir you're officially turned into a black person with natural hair. welcome to the club>
Priceless.
A little goes a long way with this wax
Plus, as a poor college student, it's ridiculously cheep.
(Murry's Pomade)
A product I have been utilizing since I was in the fourth grade.
I went to Chicago for the first time when I was 11 during Spring Break.
It instantly became my goal in life, to habituate in a city like that.
But the greatest thing I took away was Murry's.
I like my hair to look kinda dirty, it's part of its charm.
I only wash wash my hair on Sunday and Thursday.
So, when I wake up at 6h10, leave my house at 6h20, and open the coffee shop at 6h30, then customers give me compliments, I tell them it involved these things:
[one] I get it from my mother
[two] I woke up like this
[three] it's dirty
[four] even though it's dirty, I add more crap to it .. 'cause that makes sense, right?
I mean, who doesn't want to look a little dirty, eh?

I first saw this photo, half my age ago.
It changed my life.
I have never been the same.

It still inspires me.
Look at me now.

Yes, I'm currently putting off my studies by blogging.
Assuming I'm not the only one who does this,
I'd love to see your procrastination.

EDIT:
I've always had a dream that I'd meet the love of my life at a coffee shop while studying. They'd try to start conversation, "What are you studying?" I'd loath-fully would reply, "Philosophy, International Relations, and French." Then, the rest would be history.
Now, I look at photos of my "studying" and realize that my best friend, Rebecca, is right when saying, "you look pissed in 90 percent of your pictures." Or better still, when in high school my best mate, Zachary Binks, told me "Apollo, you look like you just have fuck off written on your forehead. You look a little intimidating." Then as last night, I was told, "You just seem like you could like someone else or something more...You seem out of my league I guess. So I don't read much into stuff."
I had a theology teacher tell me a few months into the class, "I thought you hated me, because you have the look on your face of annoyance and irritation, but that's just you when you're genuinely paying attention." Maybe, I need to smile more. Hell, after three years of braces, I payed enough for the straight teeth.
If you saw me at a cafe, would you come up? I promise, I'm nicer than I look. I'll flash a smile, maybe you'd get the hint.
'cause I'm going places in life,
