4) You have an ex-boyfriend who works for any police or government agency. (Self explanatory)
5) I have to meet your parents on the 2nd date and they want a drug test.
6) I have to watch 3 episodes of Lost before you are ready to go to dinner. ( I mean...)
7) While I'm a sleep you even peak into my jewelry box.
8) You snore louder than me.
9) You have a tattoo on your neck of the hood you grew up in. (I already have an ex with that)
10) Right after we have sex you start talking about how many children you want and how you stopped taking the pill. (Its happened)

Saul Good
1) Talk about past relationships on the first date
2) You drive a Range, but never had a job

Puma Santa Cruz Colabo

Puma and Santa Cruz had something in common in 1987, what was it? No.........it was the debut of the "Screaming Hand" and the First Round Hi. Together they have made a catchy new age colab. This sneaker release will include a matching t-shirt. Skate away to paradise!

Say What Wednesday #1: Fitted vs Fedora

Saul Good:

FITTED
The fitted cap is versatile. You can dress it up, dress it down, backwards,
forwards, sideways, flipped-up brim (if you wanna look like a barney). Wear
to the ball game and out to the club, you'll never look out of place with a
dope fitted hat on. You try to rock a fedora mid-day or at a sports arena,
and you get to be "that guy." Don't do it. Stay fitted, stay low-key, stay
cool.


Prophet:
Fedora

I want that throwback detective, old man gangsta, sophisticated boss look. My grandfather use to look so damn cool with his cigar and his Fedora with an 8 degree lean on his brow. I use to steal it before church and pose in the mirror. i dress them down with jeans and a T or you can Boss up with cuff links a collar and some cognac ya dig. Fedora means different...risky..and confident in not looking like a everyone else...you bz

RedBelt

Prophet your favorite Teruo representative reporting live from the Egyptian theatre in Hollywood for the premier of a Mixed Martial Arts film titled “Red Belt”.With an all star MMA cast like Randy Couture, John Machado, Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini, Max Martini and acting anchors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Paymer it was deff interesting.

The story…
Redbelt is an upcoming action movie written and directed by David Mamet. As of July 2007, the film is in production, with many of the action sequences being filmed at the Pyramid in Long Beach. The film will be released in the USA on May 9, 2008.
The film concerns Mike Terry (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and self-defense instructor who imparts upon his students the skills to survive on the street, rather than prevail in sports combat. A series of circumstances brings Terry in contact with popular movie hero Chet Frank (Tim Allen) and a legion of Hollywood movers and shakers. Terry soon finds himself the victim of a con and, combined with a destitute financial situation, is pressed to enter the ring for pride and profit.
Mamet, himself a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and UFC aficionado, has described Redbelt as a samurai film in the tradition of Kurosawa 1. He has employed the resources of several members of the MMA community in the making of the film; Randy Couture and Enson Inoue have acting roles in the film, as does Jean Jacques Machado's brother John Machado who also planned some of the fight choreography.
David Mamet has earned the rank of purple belt under the tutelage of Renato Magno, who also served as the film's jiu-jitsu consultant.

Ok so the movie was on medium status it was more drama than action. I needed to see a few more arm bars for me to really respect this joint. The fact that I was Muchado and family’s guest means that that’s as much criticism I’m gonna give.lol

The best part of this premier was the old school low budget food services. They had carnival style hot dogs,pretzels and cookie stands. The red bull sponsored full bars deff didn’t hurt though ya dig.lol

Shout out to Kene G for the behind the scenes access. yeee

What's a Guerilla?

When you're a young brand staying true to your identity, and not selling out to the latest all-over trend or design concept, sometimes you take it upon yourself to get shit done, knowing that staying true will help you stay around a lot longer than some ultra-trendy flash in the pan. So here at Teruo, we kick it Guerilla sometimes. All that means is we gather like-minded people in our community and work together to get it done.

In this case, budding writer/producer Bennett Smith stepped in and made it happen for a round of video shoots featuring Six Reasons, Grown Mo and Gregory Farr of Trojan Horse. The dailies look dope. Stay tuned for the finished product...
