Let the Sneakers speak

Sneaker culture is really a culture of it's own. It's the idea kinda like having a Rolex, Gucci sunglasses......you know...the whole "swaggy" culture. But do they even know the story of shoes or just read the card from the box? Back in the days, I wanted to wears shoes my favorite players wore. Playing ball in them and thinking it might give me the power to play like those players. These kids are talking about Jordan's, Penny's, Barkley's, Ewings......Have you even watch them play? Boy, I tell you; 
Seeing Barkley do his shit on the court, getting rebounds, blocks....he was bad. Ewing...I always thought he was like George Foreman of NBA. Just raw power, good Center. Whoa, Penny.....Penny Hardaway....from Orlando Magics with young Shaq, rocking the pinstripe jerseys and star logos...BOY, whatchu really know? Jordan's....well, his game speaks for itself and you probably scene the highlights on YouTube, so I not even gonna talk about them. 
Some shoes I wish I had? WELL, GP Gloves.....just for the love of Seattle, Adidas Kobe's(not crazy 8s but bulky white with black lining ones),  Shox because my favorite player was Vince Carter, Nike Garnett (Black with Blue wavy ones), can't lie....kinda liked Grant Hill Fila, all black Scotty Pippen's with AIR on the side, wanted S.Carter's, I thought Adidas T - Mac II's black with Blue stripes were beautiful, T - Mac 5 n just remembering the damage T Mac did in Houston. 
Almost a holy frail of my most wanted shoes is....(DRRRRUMMMM ROLLLLL).......Reebok Questions. White with red or orange suede patch. Man....those......I love them. 
I really like the LeBron collections. They come out alot with different style and I see what Nike and Lebron is doing to increase the prices, etc, etc.. King's pride is my new favorite, just cause im an artist and love the art sense of the shoes. LeBron's  have been really comfortable shoes. It;s incredibly comfortable and bulky; bulky is my style. 6's are my favorite of LeBron's, so far. 
But these shoes are significant to me because I love the game of basketball and respect the players. Watching these players do magnificent things. That's how I really feel about it. At the end of the day.....shoes are just shoes.

Oh...Black n white Reebok Answer IV's also.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more realistic.            One thing I liked about this phone was that it had display section            on the front cover. Just in case, mom or dad called

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does
