After 3 weeks of having to run this town on my own, one of the other PNC’s, AR finally made his way up to NYC.

After being dismissed– we don’t ask to go home, from our internship we met up for happy hour with our homegirl Ashley [insert witty statement for "bad b****] for some after-work happy hour. We hit up this little spot Cooper’s 35 in the East Village, because they have the cheapest drinks in town. (Too bad their service isn’t that great) Either way, we had a blast catching up and planning our future domination.

MESH.

Allow me to reintroduce myself:

MY NAME IS AARON

You may know me as AR. I used to write for this one blog, maybe you’ve heard of it, TheMESHlife.com? It’s kind of a big deal. But lately I’ve been acting WEAK

#weakweakHELLAweakweak

It’s been entirely too long since you’ve seen  the first and eighteenth letter after a few posts (no no, didn’t have to count. I know where my chips fall [in the alphabet no less lol]). 

But as I was saying, there’s no reason why you shoudn’t see AR after a few posts every day. So for that, to my readers, and my co-conspirators against the blogoshphere (whttap PNC’s), I apologize.

The MESH reader is a go getter, a person who doesnt take “no” for an answer, and doesn’t give excuses.

WE are the generation, and MESH is the fuel for that generation.

And this tank ain’t gonna run on empty, ya heard me.

AR!!

I’m back bitches. [sorry for cussin']

Music.Edge.Style.Heaven

—

Last January MESH. was birthed from the minds of Aisha Johnson, Aaron Randle, & CJ Trahan II.

Last January the world was introduced to music, edge, style, and a bit of heaven.

Last January the MESHlife was created.

Last January it all began.

MESH. is excited to be celebrating our first birthday this month. Though we don’t have a particular date, January 2009 is a special month for the blog. It took the coincidental merge of three driven young individuals (the PNCs) to form the force that is MESH. The blog has quickly grown into a well-known entity in the blogosphere and is continuing to grow past all expectations. With the latest music, fashion, and lifestyle posts, MESH. has garnered the respect of many businesses and fellow lifestyle blogs. 2009 was an unforgettable year for the blog and it survived many struggles. But it’s a new year, and a new day and the MESH. PNCs are ready (along with you) to take the MESHlife to a new plateau of success. We would like to thank all of our supporters, especially those special few who have been down with us from day one (you know who you are).

Will you be at the next event?

MESH.

[The Scenario]

The MESH. PNC‘s were all innocently enjoying their Sunday evenings:

Aisha-Just getting out of seeing Orphan…mentally preparing herself to drive a truck.

Aaron-Still recuperating from a lavish loft party.

Cj- Getting his ass kicked in a game of Monopoly.

[Then out of nowhere, they discover]

MESH. is a finalist in two categories (Best New Blog, Best Group Blog) for the 2009 Black Weblog Awards!

Excitement? (Hell yeah!)

MESH.| Music. Edge.Style.Heaven. would like to say thank you to all who have continually supported us. We didn’t realize the success we could accomplish and owe in large part to you guys. We ask that you continue to stand by us as we grow into an unstoppable force.  We’re delighted that the MESHlife has become a legitimate lifestyle and encourage everyone to dwell in it and get lifted!

Now, the work isn’t over yet. We need for you to go [HERE] and vote for MESH. in categories 9 & 16 (Those are the only ones you have to worry about as you can only vote for a certain number of categories). Help us achieve this award and spread the word about the awards as well as our blog.

THANK YOU!

MESH.

The event will take place on Thursday, August 20th

At Tabaq Bistro on U St. In Washington, DC at 9pm

Music. I once said to my MESH. PNC Aisha and roommate Tallas, music is the driving force in our lives. It’s the rhythm to which we channel emotions, the beat to how we handle situations, and the soundtrack to our soul. Deep right? Well, here at MESH. we like to know what our viewers have etched into their musical spirits. We want to know….what four songs are on heavy rotation on your iPod and can’t seem to leave your head? But first, we offer ours.

Aisha:

1. Chameleon- Christian Milian

2. Winner- Drake

3. Regret-LeToya Luckett

4. Want It- Lloyd

Aaron:

1. When You Hear the Baseline – Major Lazer feat. Ms. Thing

2. Crumbling Therapy- Overdoz

3. Winner- Drake

4. Ask Them Hoes- Lil’ Wayne

Cj:

1. Whatever You Want- Consequence ft. Kanye West & John Legend

2. Playing Possum- Maxwell

3. Regret- LeToya Luckett

4. It Would Be- Trey Songz

We are really anxious to see the comments on this one. So again we ask…

What are your top 4 songs of the moment?

You know the deal. Music, Edge, Style…that other thing. We get’s it done. We’ve worked hard for what we have. And no one’s going to take it away from us.

[I check cheddar like a food inspector, My homie Strip told me "dude finish yo breakfast"]

Yea sometimes we got a little ahead of ourselves. Sorry for being EXCLUSIVE AS HELL. (oops.–Sorry BadBoy). What can I say. You come to MESH. because you see that we post music before your favorite music blog does… i mean. sorry. We’re moving too fast. Finish your BREAKFAST CJ!

[Now before i finish let me just say i did not come here to show out, I did not come here to impress you]

We don’t say this to boast. It’s just what we do, who we ARE! Aisha, CJ, Aaron. We grind. Not only for ourselves, but for you, those out there who aspire to the same greatness we do. That’s why you have to know: MESH isn’t going anywhere.

[I hope you dont think users are the only abusers]

Where was MESH. those two days? We were taken down for a minute because of a few [ahem] extenuating circumstances. And due to those we have had to remove all of our music posts… but don’t worry. We will continue to keep providing you with new, exclusive music. The old stuff just had to go…cause you know we weren’t –[I gotta hustler spirit, nigga period.]

[Now back to our regularly scheduled program.]

Enough talking. We was gone for a minute, now we’re back. End of story. Now back to what we do best…

Confession.

Kept me from 2 Members Only Jackets, Christian Dior, & a (much needed) denim vest & jacket.

Nipping this sh*t in the bud… Now.

DECEPTION SALAD

Looks like 1000 calories. Taste like 2000 calories.

380 Calories. (Coupled with a Dasani).

Yes, Volume II of The Music presented by us here at MESH has arrived. It’s titled Couple’s Therapy and has the R&B lover in mind. Everyone’s relationships can go through break ups and then oddly right into sensual make ups, it’s part of the fun. Come on a journey with 22 tracks that all relate to our deepest emotions: love & lust. Whether your relationship is having the “Troubles” of Act I, the “Break Up” of Act II, the longing, missing, and reminiscing of Act III, or the ultimate make up–the best “Couple’s Therapy” (SEX) of Act III, this mixtape is sure to please. 

WARNING: If you are looking for a lot of club bangers this is not the mixtape for you, try (MESH MIXTAPE VOLUME I HERE) or wait a couple more weeks for our summer jam mixtape coming soon.

And yes, I’m aware the tracklisting numbers got a little jumbled. Oh, well haha.

(DOWNLOAD MESH MIXTAPE VOLUME II:COUPLE’S THERAPY HERE)

Also stay tuned for the next mixtape filled with jams for the summer.
