Nike Air Assailant

Yo, I'd seriously kick someone in the throat for a pair of these.  I had a pair, not this colorway, when I was in high school.  To this day, I have absolutely no idea what happened to them.  I don't know if I just threw them away or what.  I don't remember wearing them down, I don't remember giving them to anyone.  I just remember loving them more than anything else I had at the time. 

This shoe has proven to be the absolute most difficult pair for me to find in my sea of wants.  I only know of one person who might have them and I don't know him personally.  I just wish I had a pair in either this colorway or the blue/white colorway that I had in high school.  I don't like the white/white pair.

I can't imagine how much this man's heart hurts for his country and his people.  I admire that he's spent so much time on the ground there helping the survivors build and repair with dignity.  What he's doing is amazing and a prime example of how more people in the public eye should show true social responsibility. 

+1 for the Collection

I almost lost my mind when I first saw these!  I can't believe that I was able to get them.  Normally, this type of shoe is way out of my budget and I just have to watch as someone better off than me adds them to their collection.  This time, I got to grab them and at a reasonable price.  My Gary Payton collection of jerseys and shoes continues to grow and I couldn't be more happy with this acquisition.

Introducing Atlanis

My wife and son went to the Westchester County Center today for the Reptile Expo.  She took him as a surprise because he's a big fan of snakes and lizards.  He's been asking me to buy him a snake for more than a year now.  I've taken him to a couple pet stores to price Garter snakes but for some reason I couldn't pull the trigger on one.

About a month ago, we happened into a Petco store and I noticed a write up on the tank of a Ball Python.  It mentioned that the Ball Python is a popular purchase for beginners.  My interest was piqued by the mention that they are very docile snakes and easy to handle.  I considered a purchase that day until I saw the price of putting everything together for the snakes comfort.  The snake itself was $69.99.  The kit that included heating, the tank, substrate, etc. was $149.99.  Of course, all of that plus tax and I again opted against a purchase.

So today, about an hour after my family arrived at the reptile expo, I got a message from my wife.  She says to me, "Our son wants a snake so badly.  He's crying now."  My initial response was that crying is not the way to get what you want.  It still played on my heartstrings a little and I asked for more details about the purchase.  I had to know how to keep the snake healthy, how to keep ourselves healthy, how to feed it, how big it would get, how much accessories cost, etc.  After all was said and done, my son bought a 3 month old female Ball Python.

It was a great deal for everything as the total of the snake and it's habitat was around $94.00.  My son paid for the snake himself with his allowance and will be working off about half of the purchase price by doing chores.  He named her Atlanis.  One T.
