PICKUP: Air Jordan Retro 9 - "Charcoal"

It's been a minute since I updated this blog any. Genuinely busy these days, but that's a good thing. Good because being busy for me generates more cash. More cash results in posts like this. I scooped the "Charcoal" Air Jordan Retro 9 last month. My favorite pair from the original Air Jordan IX line. This retro is a great looking shoe. I believe fans of the original will be pleased with what they see. I've heard that some people have found the midsole to be cheaply painted on previous Retro 9 releases, so I'll have to see how that works out after wearing. Paint chipping or not, panties will be dropped in the very near future.

PICKUP: Air Jordan Retro 6 - "Infrared Pack"

One of my rare recent Jordan pickups, the Air Jordan Infrared 6 Pack. The Black/Infrared 6 was the first Jordan I had when I was a kid, and it remains one of my all-time favorites. I'm pretty satisfied with this purchase, depsite the fact that they are NOT done in an infrared shade. What's even worse is that the treys and bag logos feature the actual infrared color. Otherwise, these are pretty dope. And those dropping panties don't know the difference.

PICKUP: adidas TS Commander Dwight Howard PE

Here we have a Dwight Howard player exclusive of the adidas TS Commander. Essentially looks like the general release version, but with some added personalization. Obviously the Superman logos on the back are the biggest difference. Perhaps not as noticeable is a biblical reference written beneath each logo. There's also an improvement in the materials used. Speaking of materials - ladies need to drop them panties when they see that I have these bad boys. Now I just need to figure out how to fit a size 18 shoe.

I used to use extra socks when I was a kid. To fit bigger shoes, not enhance my package.

PICKUP: Nike Trainer 1 "Vintage Nike Box"

Lately, I've found myself more into trainers that I've ever been. I hate the way I look in runners (wide, flat feet), and I'm not always in the mood to wear basketball shoes. Trainers offer the perfect solution. This particular pair was a must-scoop for me, because of the vintage Nike box theme. I'm rarely ever one for a loud sneaker design, but this was obtained for sentimental reasons more than anything. Plus, they get them panties dropping, so I'm not complaining.

I think I've recaptured my old level of passion for sneakers ever since I started writing for SC.

SpaghettiOs Pulled From Shelves!

WASHINGTON – Two popular grocery items are being pulled off the shelves — SpaghettiOs that weren't adequately heated during processing, and Marie Callender's frozen dinners that pose a salmonella risk.

The Department of Agriculture announced both recalls late Thursday. Conagra foods is recalling all Marie Callender's brand cheesy chicken and rice frozen meals after they were possibly linked to an outbreak of 30 salmonella illnesses in 15 states.

And Campbell Soup Co. is recalling 15 million pounds of SpaghettiOs with meatballs after a cooker malfunctioned at one of the company's plants in Texas.

ConAgra said it was recalling the Marie Callender's meals after the company was informed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of at least eight people who had fallen ill with salmonella poisoning after eating the dinners.

Ain't that some bullshit! You know the end is near when a kid can't even enjoy a kid of SpaghettiOs anymore. And how do you manage to fuck up SpaghettiOs? Unruly motherfuckers.

R.I.P. Coach Wooden

I hate that I only seem to make it back to my blog for R.I.P. posts and hood fights - but it is what it is. Yesterday, the game that I love lost a legend. Coach John Wooden passed away at the age of 99. Though it was inevitable, you always hoped Coach would defy the odds. Such a selfless human being with an insurmountable amount of knowledge, the world will truly miss his presence and general greatness. I know his loved ones do not feel that he lived anything less than a stellar life. Hopefully I can be as influential to my own children as he was to each kid he ever invested time into. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P. Guru

I haven't written much lately, but I definitely had to make my return to pay respects to Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal. One thing I can always appreciate about hiphop is a man who made his legacy without a gimmick, without a beef, without following trends, and without talking about shit that he didn't know. Guru was authentic. Guru was unique. Guru was real. Guru was gifted. I salute you, brother.

That Solar "letter" - I don't believe any of it for a second. I don't believe that Guru went out with that kind of hate in his heart for Primo. Was there relationship what it once was? Probably not. Do I believe Guru died holding a grudge? No. We never saw any real evidence of that. That's why I put a picture up of Gangstarr. Because that's Guru. That's his legacy. That's what we knew and loved about Guru. Not any projects with Solar.

Wherever you may be today, Keith Elam, I hope you've found peace. And I hope you've found paradise. May your spirit live on forever.

PICKUP: Adidas Supernatural Commander Dwight Howard "Magic Beast"

When I first saw this colorway, I was broke. The numbers were said to be limited and they were only being carried at select retailers. I figured that I'd never get the chance to own them. By the grace of...whoever cares about me, my fortunes have been reversed. I am now paid - and I was able to secure these panty droppers here. The "Magic Beast" Supernatural Commander pays tribute to Dwight Howard's "Superman" alter-ego - with the blue, red, and yellow colorway. Making this shoe unique is the speckled black upper, which represents the galaxy. You probably didn't need that explanation, but I gave it to you anyways. These are dope - and I'm happy to own them. And the panties that will be dropped when they're seen on my feet.

Peace.
Stay happy. Stay beige. Eat spaghetti.

PICKUP: Adidas Supernatural Commander Dwight Howard Home

That's right - I'm back with another pair of panty droppers. This time, the Dwight Howard Home Supernatural Commander from Adidas. The blue patent leather enough to make a grown man cry. This is my favorite pair of kicks I've picked up in a while. At least, until tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Haven't been able to blog much lately. Things have been busy, business is picking up, and I'm moving in really good directions. Details can't be disclosed yet - but I'm on the verge of doing something that I've wanted to do for a while. Hopefully I can elaborate soon.

Stay happy. Stay beige. Eat spaghetti.

So the Healthcare Bill passed...you happy?

And by you - I mean the voter who marked Obama's name in November 2008, but have been unsatisfied with his job thus far. Change was promised. This is change. Is it the kind of change you're happy to see? Did this historical President pull off something historical enough for you to get behind him the same way you did in 2008? Are you patient enough to wait for the benefits of the hiked taxes to kick in? Are you aware that Obama's true impact mostly won't be felt until he's out of office? I have to say, as an American, yesterday was a beautiful day. Is the Bill perfect? Not at all. Does it benefit more Americans than it harms? It does. For that reason alone, I am happy with yesterday's result.

Politics are an evil game. The people got behind this President in hopes that he'd single-handedly return the country to its past glory. A rude awakening hit when they realized that he couldn't do it alone. Too many hands in the cookie jar. Which makes yesterday's outcome even more impressive. Health Care Reform has been sought by every Democratic President since Truman. On March 21, 2010, Barack Hussein Obama made it happen. Think about that.

Tiger Talks

This dude owes nobody but his wife an explanation. He felt entitled to pussy. Americans feel entitled to a look into his personal life.

McDaniels/Brady 2.0

In a move that doesn't shock most Bronco fans, the team acquired quarterback Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns. Quinn's NFL career has been rocky (no pun), to say the least. After three seasons in Cleveland, he has 10 touchdown passes, 9 interceptions, and a 52% completion percentage in 14 games. Some people say those numbers reflect the fact that he's not a long term answer at the position. Some say he's never gotten a fair chance to run the show. And of course, there are others that attribute his failures to playing in that shithole in Ohio. At the very least, he is an interesting acquisition for the Broncos, who are searching for a franchise quarterback after last year's divorce with the Diabetic Demon. While his tools (PAUSE!) may not be as impressive as you'd like, having a known quarterback guy like Josh McDaniels to work with him is appealing. Josh has been a fan of his since his days at Notre Dame - and even tried to pry Quinn in a trade last season.

It remains to be seen how this works out. I don't mind the trade because Denver really gave up nothing. Their entire offseason has been really solid. I like Josh's philosophy of bringing in a deep pool of solid talent. As opposed to pouring all your money into a big time free agent who will most likely not be worth it.

Here's to hoping we keep B-Marsh...

Checking In...

Its been a long time since I've written in my blog. I chime in every now and then with a funny video or some new music, but not much else. It isn't that I've lost interest. There just hasn't been much worth speaking about lately. Which, isn't necessarily a bad thing. Life is good - and I'm living it.

Spaghetti is still delicious. I make that shit at least once a week - and its incredible.

Sports is going okay. Orlando just smacked the Lakers yesterday, which I'm thrilled about.

Tonight is the return of the Monday Night Wars. If you don't know what that is, get familar. Google that. I'm amped.

HBO's 'Big Love' finished the night with a crazy finale. Anybody who knows me knows I love my HBO.

See what I'm saying? I literally don't have anything to speak on. Things are great though. I've recently taken a bit more control of my life. My health, my finances, my future. I feel like there are good things in store for 2010 and I'm going after them.

Love and Rockets,
Liz

The Dunk Contest Doesn't Need Superstars...It Needs Good Dunkers

This weekend, we wrapped up another All-Star weekend. It was an event that was supposed to stand the test of time, due to the fact that the big game took place in Jerry Jones' new billion dollar Cowboys Stadium. Only, for most of us, we'll remember this weekend for how extremely uneventful it actually was. To be fair - the All-Star game was pretty decent. As usual, it started slow and finished strong. On top of that, the atmosphere in that huge stadium was incredible. Visually, it was surreal to watch. Moving away from that, we have the other events that make up All-Star weekend.

First, you have this celebrity game. Which, every year, seems to get worse. I literally watch pee wee leagues play more exciting and competitive games. Remember Rock-N-Jock on MTV in the mid 90's? Those games were entertaining. The NBA's toned down version is brutal to watch. C-list celebrities with no actual talent, corny ass Harlem Globe Trotters, WNBA players who routinely blow layups, and Terrell Owens. And if T.O. doesn't have it going, the game has no redeeming qualities. Whatsoever. Fuckin Michael Rapaport won the MVP of the game with 4 points. 4 fuckin points.

Then you have the weekends newest event, H.O.R.S.E. Which was literally the biggest piece of shit game of H.O.R.S.E. you will ever see. First, the NBA brings in guys with zero personality and zero desire to turn this into an enjoyable event. Kevin Durant just shoots three pointers. Omri Casspi still can't believe he's invited. Rajon Rondo, a notoriously poor shooter, is draining everything - and looks incredibly depressed while doing it. The game was so long and boring, they ended up having to go to a three point shootout with Durant and Rondo. Which turned out to be 100 times more exciting than the actual event. Why not invite guys with personality or guys that are known to do trick shots? Kevin Love shoots full court shots at a curiously high percentage. LeBron James seems to make an underhanded three pointer from half court before every game. Steve Nash can make soccer style shots with his head and feet. Dwight Howard set a world record this weekend for longest shot while sitting down. Monta Ellis hit a backwards three pointer from the stands in a recent practice video. Where were these guys? The sad part is Durant, now a two time champion, will be back next year. And all he's going to do is shoot threes.

When did the three point shootout become so wack? I felt like I wasn't really watching the best shooters in the game. I'm not saying that because Paul Pierce won - but rather because I feel this contest used to really showcase the NBA's sharpshooters. Plus, its only two rounds now? Booo.

The Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge were good events. I have no complaints there.

However, that does bring me to the Slam Dunk Contest. Which, I can't even believe I witnessed. It was, by far, the most pathetic display I've ever seen in a dunk contest. When's the last time you came back from an All-Star weekend and didn't have ONE memorable dunk to talk about? Not one. You had Nate Robinson stealing another trophy because he's a midget. DeMar DeRozan minimal creativity. Gerald Wallace looking like some body's old ass uncle that still thinks he's one of the "fellas." Shannon Brown being one of the biggest flops in dunk contest history with his 'all hops/no style' garbage. Just an awful awful display. Has Nate Robinson outright won any of his dunk titles? I'm not hating - he just hasn't had a "Vince Carter" contest. I still think Iggy had the best shit in the first contest. I don't necessarily think Dwight was that great last year - but he basically helped Nate beat him with the Kryptonate shit. And this year, he won it by default. He's an impressive athlete - and a great dunker. He's also very "*" worthy.

Anyways, I'm done ranting. One person could have saved that disastrous dunk contest. A small forward in Cleveland, Ohio. But he flaked, because he's a vagina. So I blame him for everything.

Here's to hoping LeBron and Dwight do the contest next year. Or that the NBA just explores new ways to invite players. Fuckin make them submit an audition tape to the selection committee. Get guys who not only want to be in it - but have the goods.

Charles Barkley is God. Anybody catch him punk Stern?

I Fuckin Hate The World

I woke up early this morning to a commercial that irritated me a little. It was for a handless soap dispenser. This is how lazy we've gotten. But instead of acknowledging that we're all fat and lazy pieces of shit, they came up with another explanation for why this is needed. Apparently, there's a huge buildup of germs on the top of a soap pump that rubs off on your hands when you use it. Which, I can completely understand. That makes a lot of sense. What I don't get is...why that matters? Because after you fuckin pump the soap...you wash your hands. For most of us, somewhat thoroughly. I'm 26 (almost...Jesus Christ) years old. The mass off disgustingness on the top of the soap pump ain't ever done anything substantial to me. And I'm not about to get fleeced for a 20 dollar bottle of soap that automatically squirts some soap out when I put my hand under it. Fuck you.

Yeah, I'm furious.

The End Of An Era...sort of...

For the last 15 years, I've been a regular watcher of Conan O'Brien's late night shows. I can't say I've never missed an episode, but I've tuned in for the vast majority of them. The man is a genius and one of the few people who can consistently generate laughs from me. I know taking over the Tonight Show was a big deal to him. He values the prestige of the franchise - and represented it as well as anybody could have asked him to. This whole situation with Leno is truly unfortunate and essentially robs Conan of what was his dream job. The blame falls mainly on the NBC execs, who are screwing Conan out of a gig because of bad choices they made. I also shift some towards Leno, as I'm a firm believer that you don't pass the torch...and ask for it back. It remains to be seen what will happen to Conan. Most people have him landing his own show on Fox. Which, in the end, may work out for the best as it would probably allow Conan to bring back the edgy comedy that he toned down for the Tonight Show. Whatever the case, I hope we see him back on television more sooner than later. Complete with Andy, Max, La Bamba, and everything that makes his show the most solid late night watch.

And if you didn't know, I ride for Team CoCo.

Happy trails, you strange, red-haired genius, you.

Pray For Haiti

I was fully prepared to start this blog off with "unless you've been living under a rock." Then I realized how much of an insensitive piece of shit I am. It wasn't intentional. I promise. I do want to speak about this very tragic situation in Haiti though. I read today that it was the strongest quake in 200 years. Completely surreal. I cannot begin to imagine what the people of Haiti are going through. A country, that didn't have much to begin with, in utter shambles. It deeply pains me to see the carnage that occurred as a result of that earthquake.

If you're reading me and looking for ways to help, there's plenty of options. I'll list a few sites I've been reading that also have donation options.

PICKUP: Adidas Commander LT Dwight Howard Black Colorway

I already posted the grey pair back in October - now I bring to you the black pair. Which is said to be a Footlocker exclusive, but I can't confirm that. Nevertheless, these make me happy. And is my favorite pair of black patent/blue accented shoes to release recently. You Space Jam freaks know what I'm talking about.

I can't really hate on Space Jams. Maybe I'll scoop a pair of those one day - I'm just beyond fighting crowds/sleep for shoes these days.

Dwight's playing like bullshit this year too. I hope its not "the shoes."

Fake Ass Gymnast Takes L

Life As A Bronco Fan In The Post-Elway Era Is Depressing

I feel like I've seen this before. It's probably because I have. The final day of the season. The Broncos need a win to keep themselves in a playoff scenario. And not only do they come up short, they straight up lay an egg. Yesterday's game against the Chiefs proved to be no different as the Broncos were creamed (yeah, it was so bad that I said "creamed") by the Kansas City Chiefs 44-24. AT HOME.

What went wrong? There's a laundry list. It started earlier in the week when the rift between coach Josh McDaniels and star wide receiver Brandon Marshall once again reared its ugly head, resulting in the team's best player being benched. It continued with the benching of starting tight end Tony Scheffler, apparently because of his attitude toward McDaniels. These are the same two players that were at odds with the coach at the beginning of the season. The picture on the field wasn't anymore pretty. 44 points given up. 259 rushing yards from KC running back Jamaal Charles. Three interceptions thrown by Kyle Orton, two returned for touchdowns. Missed tackles. Dropped passes. An all too familiar scene for Bronco fans on the last day of the season.

For the second year in a row, the Broncos were humiliated by an AFC West rival in the final game of the season to end their playoff hopes. Three out of the last four years, they've lost on the final day of the season to miss the playoffs. The difference this year is that they wouldn't have made it had they won, but you'd still like to see the fighting spirit in your team. Especially in a game against an inferior opponent at home. Yesterday, I didn't even know how to feel about the game. I just know that I've been a Bronco fan since I was in the crib. And I deserve more than this. All of us deserve more than this. I invest too much of myself into this team for them to continuously embarrass themselves like this.

It must get better. We don't accept this in Denver. I thought the years where we routinely got humiliated in the Super Bowl were bad. This is next level.

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year to you and yours. Hopefully you got some vagina / penis last night. Here's to a lot more of that in 2010!
