Well, the incentive started out decent. The idea was to go out shopping for the holidays for family, friends and relatives. For some reason I am more stuck then I’ve ever been on buying gifts this year. I just can’t seem to get things rolling for anyone but myself. Selfishness will get the best of me at the end I am sure. Still, a pretty interesting day to say the least. Stopped by HUF and bumped into sneak-master/DJ extraordinaire, Mr. Bobbito Garcia. Now I don’t pride myself as being a tall green giant of an Asian (I am 5′8 which translates to 6′5 in Chinese), but I thought dude was midget in real life. But man, what a proper dude and the man knows his classic music. To bad there is now more Stretch and Bobbito shows anymore, but hip-hop is dead anyways right? Later, went to J-Town and found where all the Japanese people were hiding. J-Town is like one of those old places that will never change. I haven’t been there since college and the place looks exactly the same. It does have a nice feel though and if you ever want to buy some katana swords for illegal assassinating at wee hours of the night in SF, check out the little store in there cause I saw a three footer go for twenty-five dollars.

And two must needs to make you life that much happier. Aside from hip-hop, sneaker collecting is down the tubes. When I move to New York later next year, expect most of the collection to go bye-bye. All you nine-and-a-halfers give me a buzz if you want some limited edition, beat-up sneakers for buku ass bread. What can I say, I need money to buy some Timbos and puff jackets for East Coast weather son! But you know how I feel about P-Rods and these just happen to give me warm and fuzzy feeling. Number two, everyone please buy, bootleg, steal or sit at a skateshop and watch FULLY FUCKIN’ FLARED! It was quoted to me that this film changes lives and it does. This video makes me want to quit skating all together. It is by far the best skate film since Yeah Right and I found myself saying “holy shit” a gang load of times. It is so epic that if I had more hands, I’d give it four thumbs way up (shout to Chapelle for quotables). Check out the teaser in my pics of Mike Mo doing a kickflip to stair explosion. This things is going to get mad replay value. Thanks to the HUF skate staff and Jerry at 510 for taking my money once again.
