Family Guy Saved Me

2010-03-11T01:34:00.000-05:00

So as I was trying to write a paper an episode of Family Guy came to mind, the one where peter goes back in time and messes everything up because he wants to dance to the Beverly hills cop music, hahahaa classic. Then it hit me that is what my story about. After coming to that realization my paper wrote itself. Thank You Seth McFarland and all those at Family Guy.

Adidas Stop Crying

2010-03-03T02:54:00.000-05:00

So because no body likes to go out and buy addidas, yes i spelled the name wrong on purpose to show how much no one cares to wear their shoes. Anyway adidas is crying to the NBA that they don't want any other shoe company logos to be seen in the NBA, so the NBDL to enforce players with non-addidas contracts to cover up the logos of the players respective company. My word of advice to addidas MAKE A BETTER SHOE AND STOP CRYING.

Don't call it a comeback

2010-03-03T02:49:00.000-05:00

So there is word that these the Royal Blue Foamposites, the shoes that started it all will possibly make its return later this fall. I really hope this is true these will go perfect in the collection right next to the eggplants...

Nike HTM 2 Run Boot Sample

2010-02-26T00:19:00.000-05:00

These boots are samples and if I had really good connections and a bunch of guap laying around these would be on my feet very soon. I just really like them it would be a different look for me. I hope they make retail but these specific models are tier zero making them near impossible for me to get.

2010-02-25T22:26:00.001-05:00

Very Big Disappointment

2010-02-15T17:38:00.000-05:00

So the copper foams released this weekend and I was very disappointed. So I chose not to purchase these shoes, to me once I seen them in person they aren't worth the $200 price tag.

Valentine's Day

2010-02-15T17:24:00.000-05:00

So over the weekend was Valentine's Day and me having a girlfriend she wanted to see this movie. The movie was wack and created the total opposite feeling I was supposed to feel. Being almost 2 hours long the movie was drawn out. It was like Crash you know how everyone in the movie is connected in someway, yeah its like that. But nonetheless this is a really nice date movie and fellas I suggest that you take your girl to see it but only if she is into these types of movies.

Tonight I saw This movie pictured above. From Paris With Love is one of the best action movies i have seen in a long time. It reminded of Training Day for a few scenes which was really cool seeing as Training Day is possibly one of the greatest cop movies ever. But From Paris With Love keeps you on your toes and is full of action from beginning to end. A very interesting, action filled, intense, comical film. You wont be disappointed.

In My Mind I am disappointed that I haven't put this one up yet already. This is a classic album from beginning to end. If you haven't picked this up with in the last few years it has released go to ITunes and get this album. Something very unique about this album cover is that there are actually 3 different covers for this album making them collectors items, you can always expect Pharrell to do something different, and i will say this now Pharrell was the first to do the whole singing and rap thing before anyone being; Drake, Wiz, Wayne T-pain, Kanye, Diddy all of them, Pharrell was the foundation.

Washington AutoShow

2010-01-29T00:20:00.000-05:00

So today me and my pops took a trip to the annual Washington Auto Show, this is the first time that me and pops hung out in a long time. So it was a good chance and since we both love cars why not?? We both agreed that the selection of cars this year was under par, but what was there was still nice. All the good cars was on the bottom floor which was our favorite. Check the pictures taken from my camera phone.....I think I need to invest in a good camera for quality pictures.

This is my next move the BMW 650Li
