0-2?? Really????

The Celtics loss I could accept. But losing to the Raptors???? C'mon! Gotta stop with this "let Lebron do it all" offense.

Em is a BEAST!!!

This is sick!

I might be in love

Tokidoki x Marvel Collabo

I'm looking forward to this. I want that Wolverine shirt. Supposedly it's not dropping til February of 2010 but I found a site where I can pre-order one. Follow this link for full post.

It's about more than just tha swoosh, folks!

I like a little variety in my shoe game. And Puma is DEFINITELY on my list of non-Swoosh sneaks!

Negus? or N*ggas? Funny nonetheles

This is kinda slick

This guy made a home out of a nuclear missile silo. Can't say I'd want to live in a place where nuclear missiles were once stored, but I still think the idea is pretty decent.

Happy Columbus Day! The world is flat again.

Now usually I use this holiday to express to friends of mine how it's kind of messed up that we use this day to celebrate the life of a man who basically stole a country that already belonged to someone else and then introduced greed, disease, racism, etc. to the indigenous people of this country. Don't get me wrong tho, because had he not started this snowball effect of pilferage and European greed upon American land, I perhaps would not be here today as a remnant piece of that White Anglo Saxon avalanche if you will. I mean had he not "claimed" the U.S. as a new land there would have never been further exploration by Europeans so soon, never would've been slavery, and never would've been a Louisiana slave owner by the name of LaFlore (this is just my theory of how my family got its name.) And there would've never been a Civil War, Civil Rights Movements, Barack Obama, "etc. etc. etc." (c) Yul Brenner in "The King & I."

But anyway I surely digress because the purpose of this post was actually to discuss the irony of how 500 years after Columbus proved the world was not flat, we're BACK to saying that it is! At least in theory. Written by Thomas L. Friedman, The World Is Flat, is a book which analyzes globalization of the world economy and how technology has helped to "flatten" the global playing field for companies; breaking down barriers in a sense. He created a 10-point list of things contributing to this "flattening" of the world and the one that stood out to me was "#10: The Steroids" as he called them. These steroids refer to personal digital devices like mobile phones, iPods, personal digital assistants and instant messaging. As a 24 year-old you could see why these would stand out to me because I love all of these things! The fact that I'm even writing this blog exhibits that fact! But I like to look at how it flattens the world socially, not just economically. In 1492, Columbus would've never imagined that his speech upon landing in America could've been as such: "The future is now! Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, or watch female wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!" (c) Jim Carrey in "Cable Guy." So I've said all of this for 2 reasons. 1: just to rant about Columbus Day because I felt like it. and 2: Because I think the irony of us going so far to prove the world was not flat has led to us inadvertently creating a new flat world.

It's almost time!

We're just 14 days away from the start of the NBA 2009-2010 Season!

The Waiting Game...

We've already seen these pieces worn by Kanye, himself. But I thought I'd go ahead and throw these on here anyway since there seem to be some professional photos taken of Kanye's upcoming Pasttell Museum line. Does this mean it may finally drop sometime in the next 5 years?

Get 'em next year

I love my Cards, so I gonna hang in there with them while we wait til next year. STILL can't believe Holliday dropped that ball like that tho! I tink we still would've lost the series because we just didn't look sweet at all during the series, but it sure would've been nice to at least gotten that one W! lol

EXTRA Small???.....I'll pass!

Now look...I know this may be an ignorant/random rant but I just felt it necessary to express my opinion on this matter....Size XS should not exist for grown men!!! I repeat!!.....Size Extra Small should not exist for grown men!! I originally became opposed to the men's XS while working at the Gap and I came across some shirts in the men's section that were that size. WTF??? I mean if companies want to go along with the "tighter is cooler" theme then why not just be like Forever 21/Heritage 1981 and make your sizes fit small? That way.....a guy who is little in stature may be able to ask for a Small shirt without having to sound dainty in asking for an Extra Small. Just look at the words: Extra Small. "Yeah, man....that shirt is small, but this shirt is EXTRA small!" It even SOUNDS ridiculous! I know this was random, but I just wanted to give you all a brief look into the mind of Jason.

Yessir!!!

THIS was a good idea!

$140 for a MacBook sleeve is way too much tho.
