Sneaker addiction

I don't think that there is an amount that will satisfy me when it comes to sneakers. I wont even attempt to guess the amount that I have now and the number is still raising. Here Is what the typical me looks like.






















I like to buy exclusive/limited edition sneakers. I want to be one of few people who has what I have. Good luck asking me "where did you get those". This is why I shop at underground locations. I find stores that are not publicly advertised and buy my limited editions there.
There are plenty people like me(sneaker addicts) out there, and there are plenty of underground locations out there for people like me. One place I shopped at, I wont say where for the obvious reason, is disguised as a deli shop but once inside, it transforms into an underground sneaker heaven.
To get in it is a matter of knowing someone who knows where it is or else your out of luck.

There isn't a cure but there is only sooth and that is to continue to buy when your a sneaker addict. I'm not as bad as some however, I save money as well. There are somethings I love more than sneakers, so I stop from time to time. But till the new years arrive, now, is my time.

Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto and bad


Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto and bad.

I thought Cotto would of won the fight, not easily but win. That thought turned into a belief in the first few rounds of the fight. But Pacquiao's punches were landing to powerfully and accurate for Cotto.

I think that if Cotto had gotten better training specifically to fight as how Antonio Margarito fought against him in his previous fight, he could have won. Margarito won the fight against Cotto because he continued to pressure Cotto by throwing hard and heavy punches. Now I know that of the two fighters Cotto in that match, had the more power of the two, but Margarito through more power shots. In that fight like this fight, it was speed vs power. But Margarito won that fight because he pressured Cotto. Each time Margarito let up on the pressure Cotto made him pay as did Pacquiao to Cotto.
One thing Margarito had that Cotto did not, was a strong chin. I was amazed at how badly Cotto kept beating Margarito yet Margarito did not show any signs of feeling hurt, he just kept at him.
In Margarito fight Cotto showed his amazing defense. He swayed, dodge, ducked, blocked and countered a lot of Margarito punches but Margarito threw to many power punches, pricing his defense till it became weak. that should have been the tactics Cotto walked into the ring with. Cotto approaching the end of the fight around round 6 or 7 showed the same defense he did with the Margarito fight but as soon as he planted his feet so that he can throw a powerful enough punch to hurt Pacquiao, Pacquiao came with his flurry of punches stopping him.
Pacquiao has more than speed, he has power as well and is as dangerous with one hand as he is with the other one. That is a dangerous combination against Cotto's left hook.

Pacquiao walked out of the ring champion. But he has no chance in winning his next fight. His next fight is against Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao has speed but he will bear witness first hand to the fastest hands in boxing ever, Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather argues that he is pound for pound, the best boxer and not Pacquiao. When Mayweather beats Pacquiao he will prove that that is fact and not just his arguing statement. I cannot wait for that match. That match can easily turn out to be the greatest boxing match ever, do not miss it.

Enter the mind of an artist


I spend a lot of time in my studio working on several projects I have lined up.
I see it all in my mind before I lay them down to a finished product.
An art piece, a painting, cartoon, or music. I can hear it and see it before I make it. Some times I'll freestyle it too. It's fun playing with ideas hitting them back and forth the table like a game of ping pong.
It never gets frustrating for me though like it would some people in this business because well to them it's just that a business. I feel like a kid all over again when I'm in my studio working on a project.
You all should see me making a beat. I get way into it.

I also spend a lot of time online chatting or on some social network, I'm everywhere. That's where I get a lot of ideas, talking to people. When I talk to people I like painting pictures to get my point across. And this would be how I get a lot of my ideas. I see colors, pictures, sounds everything.

One of my favorite things to do is produce or write music. I stay up for hours, some time till 6AM the next morning working on a song. I can't have enough fun doing what I do, it's a beautiful thing. I feel like I am finally being me when I'm working. So come by, enter the mind of a artist.

The far from exciting Greyhound bus ride

Does the ride to Georgia have to be that long? If I were on a bike then I wouldn't mind at all but man... Greyhound? No way, I did few times and every time I promised myself that I was never going to travel by bus again and what do you know... Here I go again, And all because crazy me couldn't plan the trip earlier.
I do this to myself every time. I seriously have bad timing. I always put that off to do other things then pay for it on the bus.
Forget the commercials. Greyhound has made plenty of the worst experiences in my life. Imagine sitting on your butt for hours. After a few hours it becomes unbearable. Now, Greyhound does make a few stops here and there so that everyone can get out and stretch their legs, and thank God for that. But at that time i always get upset because i know what to look forward to once I get back on the bus. More butt aches and head aches. More times than others I take the bus in the evening and the thing I hate the most is falling asleep for what feels like hours once the night comes around only to wake up and find that the driver has not even mad it pass Virginia. There's no way to tell how many times I've falling asleep and awake to the worst feeling Deja Vu. I felt like Dezel Washington in the movie Deja vu; Waking up every morning but the calendar never moving forward.
Now I know I can't complain since it's my fault that this has happened but I can feel now the same feeling I will feel once I get on the bus. It's like repeated toucher.

Once I get to Atlanta, I will feel relieved. There isn't anything that can occupy me for 22 hours, nothing. Well unless there is a cute girl on the bus I can talk to. i was only that lucky once. I was back then on my way to Georgia like I soon will be and my neighbor next to me was a gorgeous girl who was a little old than me. i started a conversation with her and we kind of hit it off good. Later i pulled the corniest trick but executed it real smooth like, I must say. I pretended to be sleepy and kind of dropped my head on her shoulder then got up quickly as if it was reflex then said "Oh I'm sorry..." Before I finished the rest of my sentence, she said "it's okay you can lay down." Then put her arms around me pulling me towards her lap. I laid on her lap and then for the remaining few hours of the ride she rubbed my back. I know she knew I wasn't really sleepy because any sleepy person getting their backed rubbed would fall asleep in no time. Instead, I stayed laying on her lap talking to her the rest of the ride. I wont go into any details to what went on that night but my ride on the Greyhound bus was one like no other.
Every other time I've rode the bus everyone else on the bus were way older and less attractive; it was so unfair.

I tried listening to music but that got old real fast. The same thing for movies, drawing, writing, everything. Unless there is another cute girl on the bus, I'm doomed the boredom. Sadly, here I come Greyhound...
I will record my travels with photos and video to share my experience. It should make the ride a little less painful if I record the journey.
Hopefully.
