if i could dream about this place right now that’d be nice. had a dream about obama and some missing kid last night. i was in a warehouse fight scene too for some reason. like a jackie chan rumble in the bronx type thing. i think it’s because i watched too much tv yesterday. i mean, I'mma lil sick so i saw more of the tv yesterday than i would normally see in a week. that shit messes with your mind man.

Christopher Edwin Breaux, professionally known as Frank Ocean, was born on the 28th of October, 1987 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has earned cult-icon status with his enigmatic persona and idiosyncratic approach to pop. It is reported that the name “Frank Ocean” was partially inspired by the original Ocean’s 11 (1960) film, which starred Frank Sinatra.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed his recording studio in New Orleans which prompted his move out to LA, joining hip hop collective Odd Future later in 2009. Ocean started out ghostwriting tracks for pop stars such as Justin Bieber and Beyoncé, but decided on a career
