Back When Nike Was Creative

This is one of my favorite advertisements of all-time.  Yes, largely in part because I'm a self-proclaimed "ass man".  Beyond the lusciousness of this backside though, it's just a brilliant ad.  Respect to the girls out there that are thicker than the "average" but keep it tight and right.  Stay fly.

Gil Scott-Heron - "Me and the Devil"

Respect if you know who this man is.  If you don't, please educate yourself.  You may have heard the term, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." at some point in your life.  He is the author of the original poem.  He's a poet who's career is largely defined by his works from the 1960s and '70s.

He's had a seemingly lifetime history with drugs and addiction but always manages to stay sober just long enough to rekindle his gift with words.  This is his latest from a forthcoming album.

FINALLY!

I have been hunting for these shoes in my size since 2001.  I wasn't able to afford them when they originally released and they were a very rare find a few years later.  Here it is 2010 and my hunt has resulted in success!  I thought I would get a pair in 2003 when I saw a guy wearing them on the street.  This was down in Union Square.  I pretty much begged and pleaded with the guy to take them off and sell them to me.  I told him I'd take him to one of the many sneaker stores nearby and buy him any pair he wanted as long as they were less than $120.  He really thought about it for a few minutes but decided that they were just too comfortable to give up.  I wanted to kick that guys ass.

 

I got this pair of Kamikaze I lows in the same deal.  Not a fan of this style in low form but it was a good deal for a wearable pair.  If I can find the mids my cypher will be complete.
