New Years

Alcohol, drugs, & sex will be all around us tonight! 70% of people will be doing 1 out of 3 of these sinful acts this evening, 20% will be doing 2 of the 3, 5% will be doing all 3, and the rest well are just losers. Which percentage will you fall into this evening? I personally will be shooting for 2 of the 3. I'm very excited for the evening planned as I hope it will be pretty eventful! A very close friend from Houston had flown in last night to come celebrate this evening and has brought along one of the Holiest Grail status beers known to mankind with him! Yuengling which is brewed and only distributed out east is one of the best Lagers that I have ever had the privilege of ever consuming will be at our get together this evening for our drinking pleasure. I am truly blessed for all the things that have happened this past year and greatful that I will start the New Year with my best friends and relatives I've ever had! Much love and respect to all! Be safe and Welcome to 2010!

return of the space jam

I for one am not a fan of retro's and especially re-retro's of Jordan sneakers but if done right (staying within the original colorways) I will make the exception. Early this year it was rumored that the Jordan XI Space Jams were going to be re-retro'd and a possible release date was stated. They (Jordan Brand) had stated that the original release date was for November 23rd but then was pushed back to December 24th. The 24th is drawing near (2 days) and I am personally not a big fan of the patent leather design on the 11's due to nasty crease marks that can come during wear. I have debated on purchasing these or save my money and collect the Jordan IV's that are set to release next month. My main reason for considering buying these is that they stayed true to the original colorway and that the movie had a positive influence on me. What are your thoughts on the shoe and the movie?
FYI:
St.Alfred will release these the 23rd midnight as well as finish line online and possibly eastbay too.

Do you feel it in your fingers?

or do you feel it in your toes? Do you feel Christmas is all around you and will the feeling grow? Is this the only time of the year we all rack up credit card debt? I know for me it is! I feel that every time I buy a gift for someone, I have to buy a gift for myself! One reason being is that (don't hate me for this) I really can't count on too many people buying me things that make me truly happy! The one person I can always count on is myself (sorry)! reason being is that people think that I'm a hard person to shop for and they fear that whatever they buy me, I would hate it or not be as pleased with it. Of course it's easy just to ask a person, hey what do you want? but the best is when someone can buy you or make you something that lights you up when first open your gift then you know they went above and beyond of what you've originally expected out of your present. Unfortunately I really don't expect people to buy me gifts because they know that I'm high maintenance and the things I like come at a price! The things I ask for rarely come and if or when they do, I now have to compete with myself (because I hinted at an awesome gift for myself) in buying a better gift than what I thought of for myself but for whomever bought the gift for me (make sense?). Unfortunately this year is going to be a tough one because I'm broke (mainly because I'm paying "rent") and all the gifts I'm buying are going to have a lot of thought into it and at a budget...for the ones that will be receiving a gift from me let me say that "I'm sorry and I'll try harder next year!" lol...

needs and wants

Can you differentiate the two? I often can, as long as I'm not blinded by my awesome taste in materialistic things! I guess this is what has us swimming in and out of debt. If we can separate our needs from our wants we all would be less stressful. All my life I've surrounded my life with "wants" and always put off my "needs", unfortunately many of you can say the same. I've had the privilege of meeting and making some friends that really understood the difference between the two and fortunately their lives we're simpler with no debt, a savings account, and their whole life ahead of them without the stresses of having to worry about paying bills! The main reason for this blog for today is that I just recently received an email from "Coarsetoys" announcing a new art piece release "False Friends" will be dropping very soon. Unfortunately this will set me back quite a bit on paying off my bills. I know this is a want and not a need but here's my situation, I can try to get my hands on another amazing piece of art (retail $650 < resale $1500) to add to my collection and if I decide to sell it later I can always profit from it? or shall I hold all my wants back and concentrate on my needs? I think I already have my decision made but, let me know what your thoughts are...

p.s. Yes, this will make me very happy Randy
