We both had green pick up trucks. I have the Giants. Derek has the Pats. “Perms are easy. “It’s like that the rest of the day. No maintenance and awesome.” I’m surprised.

AwoneFilms & Crewstacez| The Movie

I’d be a fool to head home without posting this up though. Teaming up with Awone Films, Crewstacez have created this latest film called OMG.

It’s a nice little gap filler for a Wednesday evening.
