Dream career, and how has changed over time?

I always wanted to be a doctor. I was always in the hospital because of severe asthma, and was always grateful to the doctors that helped me. When I was in high school I realized I still wanted to be a Doctor, but I was interested in physical therapy instead of pediatrics.

What do you feel your biggest struggle was while in undergrad?

Juggling a very hard major and being the leader on campus I wanted to be.

What was your biggest life lesson to date?

Everything, everything, everything happens for a reason. Even in my darkest moments, something good came out of it later down the road.

If you could take one good idea from our time 40 years in the past what would it be and why?

Cell phones lol I don’t know how people functioned without them! If don’t have my blackberry for a day I feel lost.

What drives you?

Right now, money. Honestly, I want to be successful to the point that money is not a worry or problem in my life. But for most of my life I never wanted to disappoint my parents, and that drove me.

How do you think you have changed since the limo ride to prom?

Most of my values are still the same. I’ve matured on some ways just because I’ve experienced more in life. I wish I could go back because that was the last moment where you had no worries or obligations. After that was when adulthood started up. And being an adult is tough; I wish I still had no worries.

What is one thing you would like to tell the world?

Everyone has the capacity to do great things and achieve their goal. You just have to keep working hard and fighting. No one in life owes you anything; you have earn everything, including respect.

Where do you see yourself ten years from now?

Hopefully starting up my own clinic somewhere. Definitely married, with at least one kid.

Back to School!

Now I don't know bout most of theses kids now a days but in high school we didn't get fly on the 1st week in Sept. it was the next week. BUT STOP THE COW BELLS cause on the return from Christmas break you had to be the flyest newest still smelling like the sneaker store clothes not ironed or washed tag popped that am take a shower in the night and the morning durag line on head smelling like greatness looking at ur self in every car window and old lady glasses fly not hearing shit cause your bumping ur new Sony mini disk not seeing shit cause ur texting the only 4 people you knew with you two way.

Its more than likely still that way but its my goal to make Bloodline Denim the ish to come back to school in. If you like it then you really should paid for it lol.

2011 what a crazy freaking year

New stages for Kareem Youngblood

I never would of thought that I would be in this place in my life 3 years ago. In some ways I'm doing way better then I ever thought I would and in many more I'm not even close. Its important for me to understand that when big gains are what you are after you must take bigger risk. More important then that, I must understand that this risk isn't always a monetary one.

So what are my risk you ask?

Stability: I don't have a 9-5 I put all of my time into making my dreams come true, this means I have to make it work so that I can survive. Every dime that comes into my pockets are because I made it on my time. However I've been slacking, not having a boss makes you do what you want when you want, and right now that's not a good look for me.

Self esteem Issues: At times I feel like I am the ish! and I doing it way big I'm the next big thing and a lot of the times I feel that its never gonna happen that I'm wasting my time. I think its some type of bipolarism that us big dreamers have.

There are Heaps more that I can list, However I made up my mind that if this is my life then I will make it work. I have found my self meeting with publicist looking for lawyers and a bunch of other things that are really starting to trip me out like OK your playing to much now, but I'm ready to take it a lil bigger guys! reach for the stars their not that far.

Happy new years!

Yea so the stupid DJ 10 9 8ed on 32 31 30 so we had to do it twice, he should leave his wackass clock in 2010. Other then that the night was dope. I got my fresh cut at Push my barbers in bk on the corner of Prospect and Utica, and ran home to get dressed. I felt like being a lil extra i mean its 2011, and only wanted to be in bld so that's what I did. oh yeah and i had to take to pair of rays with me. Why? one because in fly two people tend to buy sungods' right off of my face so i had to being a back up. I'm also becoming very addicted to my turquoise rays.

I Hope you all had a blast on nye and are now ready to work hard to make 2011 better then any year you had so far. I don't really do the new years resolution thing but I do look at my life and see what I need to make better.

My goals for 2011 are simple to

make more money and look even better, i have a few others but they all point to those two. Any how I partied at Denim Lounge in B

K for the new years with my bff Felicia, it was just us two. My god sister Jessica was supposed to come but she had a few problems of her own that

night. However I had a great time, we got nice a drunk then took a Cabby back to my house. It been a while since just the two of use kicked it so I really enjoyed having her to my self. I wish you all the best of everything for 2011.
