2011 Sneaker of The Year: #AirJordan 11 #Concord
at 3:18 PM 0 comments15 years after its original release, The Air Jordan 11 (Concord) has created a historical buzz in the sneaker industry. Retailing for $180, the midnight release of the tuxedo inspired shoe resulted in near riot reactions from customers in Georgia and long-ass line ups in Indiana, Florida, Texas and Virginia. The concord has always been considered the best Air Jordan design of the entire series and is a must have for any true sneaker connoisseur. Last time I checked EBAY, an authentic pair of Concords were bidding for close to $500.

T'was The Night Before Christmas...
at 8:34 PM 0 comments
See my expression as I sit on Santa's lap. Bored, tired and unimpressed
by the "hoopla" surrounding good ol' St Nick. Don't get me wrong, I've
enjoyed an amazing run of expensive gifts, belt-busting plates of food
and "Did ______ actually say that?" moments at the dinner table.
But, like most adults without kids, the excitement surround Christmas has changed. I'm no longer concerned about the value of the gifts I receive or the cost of those I chose to give. When the December calendar highlights the 25th, I think about those who have nothing to look forward to but yet another lonely day.
This year, as u hustle thru the last minute details of Christmas dinner and wrap package after package, take a moment to reflect and be gratefully for everything you've been blessed with.
Tonight, my thoughts are with those without friends and family to celebrate the holidays with. Those who've had to rely on Food banks, shelters and the kindness of strangers. Those who battle addictions and Mental illness. Those who suffer from physical and verbal abuse....
Enjoy the holidays and remember...Life is short, don't miss a day.

On December 25th, The National Basketball Association will once again resume its place as the most captivating sport on television. As excited as I am to watch Kobe, Lebron and Derrick Rose display their superior talents, lets take a moment to reflect those who's minimum wage salary is directly affected by millionaires.
