"Hey Mr. Phifer. My name is Brandon, and I've been looking at your blog and you got some serious fashion sense (You probly heard that a 100 times already). I live in Alabama and I was interested in attending Morehouse in the near future. I'm 15 years old and I've been trying to dress preppy and sophisticated. lol. I was interested in knowing how the lifestyle is and how you balance the life. What do you do for a living? You and I, I think we have a lot in common just by looking at your blog. But yea man just hit me back up."I get emails everyday from all wonders of the world, although Im not able to respond, I read them all. My first response was to say: What do I think of success?-it sucks too much stress. I guess I blew up quick, cause friends I grew up with see me as a primi, but I'm not and my nut's big. I don't know what the fuss is my career is illustrious. My rep is impeccable I'm not to be fucked with. Sometimes when Im in my room by myself I often wonder why God gave me this platform. Then when I get emails like this I see who the kids gon listen to-I guess me if it isn't you. Im game.
You know I rarely get emails asking me how do I balance the life, most think Im some sort of robot, I hurt, I have feelings. Class is about to start so I have to wrap this up. My response to this young man is that this whole preppy and sophisticated thing isn't just a look, you gotta be what you wear. Life is a lookbook but you gotta have a strong collection first. The lifestyle is alot of pressure, everyone want it but it ain't that serious-you got people sitting waitin for you to fail-you'll learn that soon enough. But then God gives me hotlines so I always stay connected. And what do I do for a living? Lol I wear too many hats so I'll just say Im just a young college student who den just flipped the game from Houston.
Let's stay in touch.
